Xiao Lian looked around, but there was no sign of Bai Jiao in the room.Where did you go?
He put the account book on Bai Jiao's bedside, and then withdrew.
When the door was closing, I happened to meet Xie Bai passing by.
As soon as Xie Bai saw him, he smiled: "The boss has something to do, so he was called away."
Just now when the news came from the Dragon Palace, His Highness the Second Highness left in a hurry.
"Well. I'm here to deliver the account books."
The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, then said goodbye.
After parting, Xiao Lian just sighed that Bai Jiao's subordinates, Xia Bai, Xie Bai, including Gui Qing, were all better-tempered than Bai Jiao and treated him very well.He also made great efforts to help him find someone.
He was very sympathetic and knew that it was all for Bai Jiao's sake.
Especially Xie Bai, he spared no effort in helping to find someone, he is really a good person.
Xiao Lian was thinking about this, and was about to go to the general ledger to reply, but suddenly heard a shout from a distance: "Xiao Lian, it seems that he has found that person!"
Then came the sound of hurried footsteps.
Xiao Lian turned around, only to see Xie Bai going and returning, walking quickly.
"Just now my staff came to report that he had seen a woman with a burnt hand, and her age was about the same as what you said." Xie Bai grinned happily.
"Really?" Xiao Lian hurriedly asked, "Where is she? Take me there."
On the way there, Xie Bai found a boat near the ferry, pulled Xiao Lian and jumped on it.
Xiao Lian is the boatman, so there is no need to hire someone to row the boat.
"The person suspected to be your mother is in a village on the other side of the river, quite close. I don't know why you mother and son haven't met each other for so many years." Xie Bai said.
The weather was cold, but Xiao Lian's heart was full of fire.
He rowed quickly, his heart full of turmoil.
Xiao Lian gripped the oar tightly and paddled desperately.
What kind of life has my mother lived in the past 16 years?
Does she still remember her son?
Did she ever regret it?
The journey is calm.Xiao Lian rowed desperately again, even sweating.The two arrived at their destination smoothly.
But when he saw that woman, Xiao Lian was greatly disappointed.
The woman was dark and thin, obviously living a very poor life, but this was not the reason for his disappointment.
What really disappointed him was that this woman didn't have any memory of his mother.
The rice was already in the pot, and the woman was lighting a fire in front of the stove.
The two asked how the scar on the woman's hand came from.
The woman pointed to the pot on the stove: "I was young in the early years, and I was very greedy. My mother made croquettes. I was too anxious, and my hands were accidentally burned by the hot oil."
No, this is not my mother. My mother's scalding scars are there to protect me from falling into the charcoal basin.Xiao Lian thought with a sullen face.
Xie Bai was even more disappointed than him, and asked the woman again without giving up, "You really don't have a lost son?"
The woman was upset, and while filling a handful of firewood, she retorted: "Why are you doing this? You know that I can't have a son to abuse me? If I had a lost son, I would have found him to serve me. Have you ever had such a hard time?"
She was so upset that she didn't even say a polite word to invite them to stay for dinner.
On the return journey, Xiao Lian rowed so slowly that the naked eye could see.
It's true that the river is wide, but Xiao Lian rowed the boat continuously, and he didn't reach the center of the river for a long time.
His inner thoughts were churning, and he was a little absent-minded.
Xie Bai comforted him: "Don't be sad, there is still a chance. If you fail once, there will be another time. You also said that the person has been separated from you for 16 years, and it is impossible to find him so quickly. There are bosses around to help , you are still so young, with a boat in hand, why worry about not finding someone?"
Xiao Lian responded, but his heart sank a little.
He is young, but he is also dying.
With less than two years left, can he still find his mother?
However, both Bai Jiao and Xia Bai are immortal cultivators, so isn't Xie Bai?How could he not see the dead air in himself?Or is it that he can see it, but thinks he doesn't know it, so he doesn't mention it?
He didn't ask, and Xie Bai didn't answer him either.
It's just that one moment Xiao Lian was rowing the boat absent-mindedly, and the next moment Xie Bai cried out.
"Quick, whirlpool! Turn around quickly! Forget the paddle and give it to me!" Xie Bai rushed forward, snatched the paddle from Xiao Lian's hand, and rowed the boat quickly. Maelstrom contest.
In the maelstrom, everything that was swept in swirled around the center and was swallowed up in a short time.Sediment, wood, big fish and small shrimps, the maelstrom never let go of anyone passing through its territory.
Just like the legendary glutton, it can devour everything.
The boat had reached the edge of the maelstrom before he knew it. If Xiao Lian had been rowing, he would have been sucked in by now, leaving no bones left.
But at this time Xie Bai was in charge of the boat, and I don't know how he did it. The boat was still spinning in the outermost circle of the maelstrom, competing with the maelstrom, and hadn't been drawn in yet.
Xiao Lian was also so shocked by this scene that he had no other thoughts. He clung to the side of the boat with all his might, hooked his feet on the boards he could reach, and tried his best to keep his balance, so as not to let himself be thrown out of the spinning boat.
Xie Bai paddled the boat and fought desperately.Seeing that the boat was about to escape from this vortex that eats people, but the next moment, both of them were dumbfounded.
There was only a "click" sound, and the oar broke.
Xie Bai couldn't react in time, he continued to stroke with the only short stick in his hand in a daze, but the stroke was in vain.
"The river is going to be sealed off? Damn it!" Xie Bai scolded.
The boat lost its means of counterweight, lost its balance in an instant, and was just sucked into the vortex.
At the moment before the boat was overturned by the turbulent water, Xiao Lian suddenly had a strange idea - could it be that this is the so-called life span of less than two years?
If he just died like this and was swallowed by the maelstrom until there was not even a scum left, what about Bai Jiao's spiritual fruit?
What should Xie Bai do?Was it because of himself that he suffered such an indiscriminate disaster?
At this moment, a black shadow was engulfed by the vortex, it was the lower part of the broken oar.
Xiao Lian could see its appearance clearly, and then he was slapped on the head and passed out.
When Xiao Lian woke up again, he felt dizzy.
He thought he was going to die, but he still narrowly escaped death.
"Are you awake?" Xie Bai was beside him.
Xiao Lian looked at him and found that the two of them were staying in a large transparent ball. He and Xie Bai stayed in this ball without hindering their breathing.
And this transparent ball is actually shuttling down the river.
"What is this?" Xiao Lian was shocked.
"Waterproof bead. With it, even mortals can travel underwater."
"This is really a treasure. Xie Bai, you are also a cultivator? Thanks to you, otherwise I would be gone by now." Xiao Lian was very grateful.
"Cultivator? That's right." Xie Bai scratched his head and waved his hands with a smile: "It's not my credit, I don't dare to be greedy for it. The boss just appeared in time for some reason, and that's why he threw you and me into this place." Avoid the water drops to avoid the big whirlpool."
"Bai Jiao? Then what happened to him?" Xiao Lian couldn't help but worry because the maelstrom was so fierce.
"Boss is fighting that vortex, don't worry, this big vortex is just a small flood caused by ordinary changes in cold and heat, and it is different from the innate qi riot that boss encountered last time. It is difficult for us to deal with it, but in the end You don't have to worry about Boss' skill." Xie Bai comforted him.
At this time, Xiao Lian only felt that the whole water-avoiding bead came to an emergency stop.
He was unprepared and almost hit the transparent wall in front of the water-avoiding bead.
Fortunately, Xie Bai stopped him in time, so he didn't hit him.
I saw the water-avoiding beads parked in the shallow water on the shore.
I don't know what Xie Bai did, the boundary wall to avoid the water drops disappeared.The surrounding cold water suddenly rushed over.
Xie Bai quickly grabbed Xiao Lian's arm and jumped out to the surface of the river without letting the two of them get wet.
He couldn't help being a little proud, in such a cold day, if this child fell into the water, maybe the Second Highness would say something.Don't think that he doesn't know how much the Second Highness cares about him.
Xiao Lian couldn't help thanking Xie Bai, Xie Bai was very happy, and his identity as an "immortal cultivator" was also exposed, so he simply grabbed Xiao Lian again and sent him back to the bamboo building—to help people to the end.
After Xiao Lian returned to his guest room, although he escaped from death, he couldn't help but worry about Bai Jiao's situation.
He paced back and forth, but became more and more flustered, so he simply left the guest room and walked towards Bai Jiao's room.
He wanted to wait at the gate of Bai Jiao, so that he could get the news faster.
It didn't make him wait too long.
Soon, Bai Jiao came back with a gloomy face.When he saw Xiao Lian who was guarding his door, the expression on his face became even more ugly.
Bai Jiao pushed open the door.
Just as Xiao Lian wanted to ask him if he was injured, he pushed him inside.
The momentum was a bit strong, Xiao Lian staggered and almost fell, he couldn't help asking: "Bai Jiao, what are you doing?"
"Why?" Bai Jiao didn't say anything, "No reason, I'll treat you."
After all, he took out a white rope from nowhere, tied one end of it around his waist, then picked up the other end and tied it around Xiao Lian's waist.
Xiao Lian was puzzled by his actions, and subconsciously resisted.
"Don't move." Bai Jiao ordered arrogantly.
Regardless of Xiao Lian's resistance, he tied the other end firmly around Xiao Lian's waist.Then with the fingers of the right hand together, a white light flashed, and the rope just disappeared.
How did it disappear?Xiao Lian felt a little humiliated at first, but seeing this scene was a little strange.
"Where is that rope? Why is it gone? Where did it go?"
"It didn't go anywhere, it's still tied around your waist." Bai Jiao said.
"Then why can't I touch it?" Xiao Lian fumbled left and right, but couldn't find any trace of the rope.
He even touched Bai Jiao's waist, but Bai Jiao knocked his hand off.
"What are you doing?" Bai Jiao looked at him strangely.
"I'll find out where you hid it."
"It's still there, this is not an ordinary rope. From now on, you can't be more than a hundred feet away from me, and you can't go any farther. I want to see what else you can give me if I tie you with a rope Tell me to rescue you every day." Bai Jiao snorted coldly.
Xiao Lian touched again, but he still couldn't touch the rope. He thought Bai Jiao was teasing him again, so he didn't react much.
But he was reminded by Bai Jiao that the person in front of him had just rescued him from the maelstrom, and he was his great benefactor.
He quickly looked up and down Bai Jiao, "The vortex was so dangerous just now, Bai Jiao, were you injured?"
He put the account book on Bai Jiao's bedside, and then withdrew.
When the door was closing, I happened to meet Xie Bai passing by.
As soon as Xie Bai saw him, he smiled: "The boss has something to do, so he was called away."
Just now when the news came from the Dragon Palace, His Highness the Second Highness left in a hurry.
