“Father, what’s wrong with you? I am Dabao!” Bai Dabao panicked . What kind of poisonous snake bitten his father and made him crazy?
When he heard familiar voices, Bai Dazhu stopped begging and slowly looked up . Now that the black figures were close and he saw their face up close, he realized that their face was covered with mud and not like what he imagined .
Bai Dazhu sighed and said: “You two look like a ghost, are you planning to scare me?” Earlier, he was abandoned by Bai Dabao . After being trapped alone in the field, obviously, he got scared to death . And then suddenly, these two appeared, he was very scared .
Bai Dabao opened his mouth and said: “Father, you still blame us? We came in a hurry and look for you . We walked too fast and fell into the mud, which made us look like this . ”
Bai Erzhu reached out to help his elder brother: “Don’t talk anymore, let’s go back first and continue to talk about this . ”When Bai Dazhu was pulled up by Bai Erzhu, he immediately roared like a pig: “Don’t move me, don’t move me, it hurts, it hurts!”
Bai Dabao was shocked and asked: “Father, what’s wrong with you? Where are you hurt?”
Bai Dazhu pointed his leg: “My legs, my legs are broken . If my legs are not broken, why wouldn’t I go back home on my own? Why would I stay here and wait for someone to save me?”
Bai Erzhu’s heart suddenly became cold . When his elder brother’s arms were broken, they spent 4 silver coins to cure him . And now his legs were broken? They offended Doctor Lu . If they want him to be cured, they will have to bring him to the Medical Hall in the town . How much money do they have to spend? Does the old lady need to spend all her money?
“Erzhu, I’m afraid that I will have to trouble you to carry back . My legs really hurt and I can’t walk . ”
Bai Erzhu was so angry that he doesn’t want to see his elder brother ever again . However, he can’t bear to leave him alone . He and Bai Dabao lifted Bai Dazhu and then carry him on his back .
When the three arrived at the entrance of the village, Bai Dabao suddenly remembered something: “Oh, we forgot to take back the bags of melon . ”Bai Erzhu stopped walking and looked at Bai Dabao: “You didn’t take them back?”
Bai Dabao shook his head and looked back where they came from . The moon was now covered with clouds . The wind was whistling . The leaves were shaking, making his scalp numb .
“I didn’t take it with me, I was too anxious, I didn’t expect that this will happened . ”
Bai Erzhu really wanted to drop the man on his back and throw him away in the mountain . What can this father and son actually do? Having given away a bride, to lose one’s army on top of it . Now that they left those bags behind, the villagers will know what happened and they will laugh at them .
Bai Erzhu turned his head and said to Bai Dabao: “You better go back and bring those bags . We can’t go back empty-handed like this, right?”
Bai Dabao shook his head: “No, no, I don’t want to go back, I don’t want to die . ” Those s.h.i.+ning green eyes were still vivid from his mind . He dared not to go back .
Bai Dazhu felt like he will die in pain, why would he bother to think about to melons? He said: “Stop talking, let’s hurry and go back home . I can’t take it anymore . ”
His broken legs hurt every time Bai Erzhu take a step along the way . He doesn’t want to die .
Bai Erzhu was helpless, he had no other choice but to return back home .
Not long after, Old Lady Bai and Mrs . Liu heard Bai Dazhu’s moaning sound . And he kept calling them .
Old Lady Bai sighed and smiled: “He should be alright, his voice is loud . ”
Mrs . Liu erased the tears on her face and smiled: “It’s good that he is alright . ”
*Having given away a bride, to lose one’s army on top of it – to suffer a double loss after trying to trick the enemy
