Chapter 130 I Just Watched Him Grow Up

Although Bai Dashan didn't have much knowledge, when he saw Bai Tao's actions, he understood that she must be very interested in this stone.

So he called Bai Xiaocao over and asked her to prepare a bowl of tea. He stood aside, alert to any dangerous behavior from Lu Xiaohao.

The tea was served quickly. It was a large bowl of tea and Lu Xiaohao drank half of it in one breath.

With this appearance, even if someone who knew him before passed by, they would not guess that this person was Lu Xiaohao who used to live a life of luxury.

After drinking the tea, Lu Xiaohao didn't keep the secret any longer and said, "This raw stone was originally going to be transported to the palace, but something went wrong and a truck was damaged nearby..."

A car?
Bai Tao's eyes lit up, not knowing whether this was a truck or a horse-drawn carriage.

Even if there are only a few pieces of jadeite from the raw stones in a car, their value is inestimable.

Bai Dashan frowned on the side. How did this five-pound crayfish know all these things?
"This batch of raw stones came from an old mine, and the yield is very good. At least four or five pieces of jade can be produced out of ten pieces, and the quality is excellent."

Bai Dashan widened his eyes, what?
Is there jade inside this stone?

He stared at the stone in Lu Xiaohao's hand, and could never imagine that the jade that was so coveted by dignitaries could be made from such a stone.

"How do you know?" Bai Dashan couldn't help but say, "This is just a rock the size of a watermelon. Who knows if there is jade inside?"

There's a stone in between, so who can tell for sure whether there's jade inside?

Lu Xiaohao just smiled, looked at Bai Dashan, and finally looked at Bai Tao who had already walked out of the carriage and was swinging her legs on the frame.

"How should I know? It's not important. What's important is whether Miss Bai is interested or not."

He was actually very curious too, and he knew that this batch of rough stones was discovered accidentally during his previous investigation of a case.

Moreover, Lu Xiaohao was very sure that the side of the stone in his hand that was exposed to the window was well covered. Why was she interested in this raw stone?

Bai Tao knew that this person was different from those refugees who were looking for things to exchange for food, so she didn't try to hide it and asked directly, "What are your conditions?"

"Let me make this clear first. If it's too difficult, you can just carry your things and go back to where you came from."

This jadeite raw stone is valuable, but it also depends on what conditions he offers. If it exceeds her bottom line, then forget it.

It wasn't that she had to do it, but the safety of her and the people in Taohua Village was the most important.

Lu Xiaohao: "This rough stone is top-grade imperial green."

As he spoke, he turned the stone over, revealing the emerald green surface underneath.

"This piece of raw stone and that truckload of raw stones can be given to Miss Bai without charging a penny."

Lu Xiaohao thought to himself, just because you saved his and Yang Song's lives, don't just give me these. If I have anything else, I will give it to you as well.

Bai Tao didn't know what Lu Xiaohao was thinking. She blinked a few times and asked with a smile, "What do you want?"

She didn't forget the "but" he just said.

Lu Xiaohao: "I hope Miss Bai can take us with her and allow us to join your caravan."

"No!" Bai Tao shook her head: "You are not one of us, you cannot join. Please change the conditions."

She had so many secrets, so the people of Taohua Village kept them strictly because of their ancestral teachings and because she was their great aunt.

If the secret were known to outsiders, she would either be locked up or burned to death.

As soon as Lu Xiaohao finished speaking, Bai Dashan looked obviously anxious, as he had also thought of this problem.

Hearing Bai Tao's refusal without hesitation, Bai Dashan felt slightly relieved. Fortunately, our aunt was very smart and was not fooled by the sugar-coated bullet.

Are you kidding? You are not from Taohua Village, but you want to join our caravan.

Lu Xiaohao was probably prepared to be rejected, so he was not surprised to hear that, but he still asked curiously: "Then how can I become your person?" Bai Tao: "Oh, it's very simple, I just need to watch you grow up."

These words made Lu Xiaohao's calm and composed expression crack. The corners of his mouth twitched. Let her watch him grow up?

How old is she?

Forget it, let’s get down to business.

Lu Xiaohao coughed twice and said, "In that case, I hope your caravan will allow us to follow you and provide us with food for the rest of the journey."

When Bai Dashan heard this, he immediately asked, "How many of you are there? Just you and that guy from last time?"

"Yes."

After hearing this, Bai Dashan looked at Bai Tao and said, "Aunt, the other boy is about three or four years older than him."

Bai Tao frowned for a moment and said, "We can provide you two with three meals a day. You can eat whatever we eat."

"But if you're going to a different place than us..."

Lu Xiaohao continued, "If we are going in a different direction, just give us some dry food and money for the journey."

Bai Tao: "Deal."

"Thank you Miss Bai."

"There are only two of you. Aren't you afraid that I will take the things and kill you two?" Bai Tao was a little curious. She had more than 200 people.

If we do it, it will be done secretly and no one will be able to detect it.

Anyway, along the way, you can encounter a few corpses from time to time.

When fleeing, no one would stop except to sigh, let alone report to the police.

Of course, everyone knew at this time that the world was in chaos and the government was busy with its own affairs, so how could it have the time to take care of this?

Lu Xiaohao smiled and said firmly: "Miss Bai won't do that."

A person who feels sorry for the disaster victims and exchanges crayfish for food, or who finds excuses to collect flowers, plants, birds, fish and insects on the road to exchange some supplies for the refugees, would not do such a thing.

The key point is that she also saved him and Yang Song. People who have no relatives or friends can risk their lives. What does he have to worry about?

"You talk as if you know me so well." Bai Tao muttered a few words, then asked Bai Dashan to call a few people to follow Lu Xiaohao to transport the raw stones back.

"be careful."

Bai Dashan: "Don't worry, ma'am. The knives in our hands are not vegetarian. We have experience in dealing with villains." While speaking, he also glanced at Lu Xiaohao who was standing beside him.

Lu Xiaohao looked away speechlessly and muttered to himself that Miss Bai was a good person, but the people around her were too unruly.

This truckload of raw jade is not far from here, but its location is hidden. Without someone to lead the way, it would be hard to find it.

Yang Song waited anxiously, and it was almost past lunch time and time to set off when he finally saw the person come back.

He hurried forward and said: "Master, young master, you are back."

Fortunately, the master returned safely, otherwise he would never be able to atone for his sins even if he died.

"Well, you must be starving." Lu Xiaohao handed him the food in his hand: "I have already eaten, you should eat quickly, we will set off in a cup of tea."

Yang Song took a look and lowered his voice excitedly: "Sir, are we?"

　Thank you for the tip, little cutie, love you~~~
