Chapter 277 Headache and Embarrassment
It was not until the spirit of the weapon accompanied Bai Tao to complete the space test and answer questions that it understood what Bai Tao meant by "being mentioned so frequently and being so familiar with it".
But by that time he had already gotten used to the name Xiao Ming.
While eating, Bai Tao picked up the chopsticks and just picked up two pieces of meat when she caught a glimpse of the ginger and brown sugar tofu pudding.
The white and tender tofu pudding, paired with rich ginger juice and brown sugar, was so delicious that Bai Tao knew it would be sweet even before she ate it.
She picked it up immediately, and seeing Xiao Ming looking at it eagerly, she passed it to him: "Hey, this is sweet, tofu pudding, very delicious, you try it."
She thought that there must be a lot of tofu pudding, so she gave him more to fill up his stomach, otherwise he would eat too much and arouse suspicion from others.
Xiao Ming had no idea what Bai Tao was thinking, so he took it happily, thanked her, and started eating.
"Delicious!" As expected, he was right to recognize her as his master. Look, isn't this something he has never eaten before?
If he was not smart enough, he would still be in the Sumeru space, where he would not be able to enjoy the good life.
The scene of Bai Tao handing tofu pudding to Xiao Ming was seen by Bai Chunhua and others. Bai Dabao pursed his lips and said, this little girl, no, Sister Chunhua said, this is a little boy.
It's really rude! How can you eat their aunt's food?
Their aunt has never paid attention to outsiders, let alone given her own food to others with her own hands.
Bai Dabao opened his mouth to speak, but was interrupted by Bai Tiechui's quick pull.
"I picked this guy up. I guess he has been following me these days. It's normal for me to take care of him."
The implication is that we should wait and see, because my aunt has just returned and we can’t make her unhappy.
Upon hearing this, Bai Dabao had no choice but to nod and swallow the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
It was Xiao Ming’s first time to eat tofu pudding, and it tasted sweet, so naturally he ate several bowls in a row.
Bai Tao ate her meal and also had a bowl of tofu pudding. It was obvious that she had a good appetite.
When Bai Chunhua saw it, she suddenly realized that her aunt really wanted to eat tofu pudding.
When the meal was almost finished, Bai Tao suddenly felt that something was missing. She looked around and soon realized what was wrong.
"Where's Sister Tao?"
"Why isn't she here?" When she asked this, everyone who was eating turned their eyes to Bai Tiechui.
Seeing this, Bai Tao became even more curious: "What's wrong?"
In an instant, Bai Tiechui felt that the braised pork in his mouth no longer tasted delicious.
He quickly put down his chopsticks, chewed the meat in his mouth a few times and swallowed it, then said, "No, nothing."
"My dear aunt, Boss Tao said she is heading east to look for you."
"I estimate that it will take at least two or three days for him to come back."
East?
Bai Tao remembered that the east was close to the border between Liang and Yan.
"The situation in the east is not peaceful right now." Although Tao Jiaren is quite skilled, two fists cannot beat four hands.
Tao Jiaren is not like her, she has a lot of things that can save her life.
Thinking of this, Bai Tao asked again: "How many people did Sister Tao bring?"
Bai Chunhua then replied, "My dear aunt, Boss Tao only brought two people with him."
Two people?
What good can two people do?
Tao Jiaren's people are not like the people in Taohua Village. They have a lot of equipment given by her.
Bai Tao couldn't help but frown. Although Bai Tiechui was happy to see his aunt come back, he couldn't help but regret his attitude towards Tao Jiaren a few days ago.
Tao Jiaren is just a girl. She kindly invited me to come here and play because she likes me.
It wasn't that he wanted to make the old lady disappear on purpose. It was wrong for him to yell at her when he was angry. It was not gentlemanly.
Now hearing Bai Tao say that things were not peaceful in the east, Bai Tiechui's heart was suddenly in suspense.
If something happened to her accidentally, it would be his fault, and my aunt would definitely be sad.
Bai Tiechui stood up: "Auntie, I think..."
Before he finished speaking, Bai Tao nodded in praise: "Okay, go ahead, and be careful."
Bai Tiechui was stunned for a moment, his cheeks felt a little hot for no reason, and he hurriedly explained: "Auntie, I, I, I, I am..."
Could it be that I have misunderstood something?
It doesn't matter to him as he is a grown man, but Boss Tao is still a grown woman.
Moreover, his aunt had just returned. If he was not around to take care of her, if something happened, he would be the sinner of Taohua Village.
Bai Tiechui couldn't help but feel conflicted.
Bai Tao: "If you have something to say, just say it nicely, don't stutter. Maybe you don't want to go?"
"If you don't want to go, I can arrange for someone else."
She is not an unreasonable person, so this matter doesn't matter.
“No, no…” Bai Tiechui waved his hands hurriedly: “Auntie, I’m not unhappy. I, I’ll listen to you.”
He thought about it. With Bai Chunhua and others present, and there were also many people from the Jiang tribe, if he went early and came back early, there shouldn't be any problem.
"Then you can leave after you finish your meal. Be careful on the road."
"Oh, yes, auntie."
Although Bai Tao felt that the looks of others were somewhat strange because she asked Bai Tiechui to find Tao Jiaren, no one spoke up. In addition, Xiao Ming kept asking questions beside her, so Bai Tao's attention was quickly diverted.
As soon as Bai Tiechui left, the people sent from Taohua Village arrived.
The person leading the team was Bai Shanquan.
He led a group of people to the Jiang tribe. When he saw Bai Tao, he immediately knelt down, hesitantly and aggrievedly called out: "Auntie~"
Bai Tao had been missing for ten days, and the villagers felt like they had lost their souls.
They were all afraid that she would dislike their class for being too stupid and go somewhere else to train new people.
At this time, Bai Shanquan and others wanted to hug Bai Tao's legs and cry bitterly if they could, not to mention just kneeling.
"Hey, why are you crying? Stop crying, you are a bunch of grown men, aren't you afraid of being embarrassed when others see you?"
Bai Tao: "Didn't I tell you that we encountered an emergency, so we were delayed for some time? Look, I'm fine." She gestured with her little hands, trying to tell everyone that there was no big problem.
It would have been better if Bai Tao didn't say anything. Once she started talking, Bai Chunhua and others beside her also started sobbing.
Bai Qi even burst into tears: "Wuwuwu, ahhhhhh..."
When she started crying, others started crying too.
Bai Tao suddenly felt embarrassed and troubled.
She is just a five-year-old child. It doesn't matter that a bunch of people older than her are surrounding her and crying about grievance.
Fortunately, Keba just saw that it was people from Taohua Village who came, and Bai Tao had just been found, so he was observant and didn't come over.
Otherwise, Bai Tao didn't know whether this scene would make Keba and others drop their jaws in shock, and then where would Taohua Village put its reputation.
Bai Shanquan and others were thinking, what's the big deal about losing face? What they were afraid of was losing their aunt.
