Bai Erzhu stared at Bai Dabao and then angrily said: “You don’t want to go? Where am I going to look for your father? How can I find him if you will not lead the way?”

Bai Dabao’s face got pale, his pair of eyes showed a trace of panic. Tears seem about to fall on his eyes anytime: “But, I’m scared— there are snakes out there. They are big and poisonous.”

Listening to this, Bai Erzhu got even angrier and want to punch a wall: “You still have a face to say that? Knowing that there are poisonous snakes out there, you still left behind your father. What if the snake bite your father after you left, huh?”

Their family has already been living in a tight position. If Bai Dazhu got bitten by a poisonous snake, they will have to spend money to cure him even if they don’t have enough money in the first place.

Before they separate, that last money must not be spent, absolutely not!

Bai Erzhu said to Bai Dabao: “What are you still doing? Do you really want your father to die on the field?”

Mrs. Liu fell on the floor and cried hysterically as if it was sure that she will become a widow.

Old Lady Bai, who heard her crying immediately got angry and shouted: “What are you crying for? Your husband hasn’t died yet, but you’re crying like this? If you don’t want to die, you shut up your mouth for this old lady, alright?”

Mrs. Liu was stupefied when the old lady scolded her. She stared at her with teary eyes.

Old Lady Bai was too lazy to care about Mrs. Liu. She turned her head and looked at Bai Dabao: “Dabao, I know you are scared, but hurry up and go with your uncle to look for your father. If you don’t go, how is he going to find your father? I’m afraid he’ll find him tomorrow morning by then.”

Bai Dabao has no choice but to stand up and follow behind Bai Erzhu. He grabbed Bai Erzhu’s sleeve while walking and refused to let go. His eyes looked like a frightened deer. He even shouted in nervousness for four times.

Bai Erzhu was in a hurry, but Bai Dabao walked so slow. He couldn’t keep up with his speed, so he couldn’t help but to turned around and said: “Dabao, you are a man, how can your courage be so small? If you don’t hurry, I’m afraid your father will die.” After he said those words, he grabbed Bai Dabao’s arm and dragged him.

Bai Dabao was shocked by the sudden action of his uncle. His body trembled and his feet slide on a ditch. And because he grabbed his uncle’s sleeve, both of them fell on the ditch.

There was nothing much water in the ditch, but there was a lot of mud. When the two climbed up, they were covered with mud.

Bai Erzhu’s anger rose, but he knows its not the time to lose temper. He needs to find his older brother so that he won’t be bitten by a poisonous snake, and as well for their family to avoid getting more miserable… …

He grabbed Bai Dabao’s arm once again and walked all the way.

“It’s just in front, just in front.” Bai Dabao remembered this place. When he left, he remembered that there was a small pond not far from where they fell. There were also two short trees on the edge of the pond.

Before they got close to the place, they heard Bai Dazhu, crying for help: “Help, help me!”

The two rushed to the direction where the sound was coming from.

When Bai Dazhu heard the footsteps, he hurriedly looked up at the distant figure and shouted: “Help, I am Bai Dazhu, please come and save me.”

As the figures were getting closer and closer, he saw two black people rushing toward him. It was not surprising for people to have dark skin, but what’s strange is, only their eyes were bright and visible.

This, are they ghost?

Bai Dazhu was so scared that he hurriedly bowed his head and cried for mercy: “Don’t kill me, don’t kill me, I have a wife and children, I can’t die, I can’t die yet.”

“Big Brother, what are you talking about? I am Erzhu.” Is he crazy? Did he hit his head and become crazy?
