The four people dismounted, led the horses to the grass and tied them to a tree.

Today is only the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, and most people are still celebrating the New Year at home. Businessmen are also celebrating the New Year, so there is no one on official roads at this time.

Man Bao took off her cloak and placed it directly on the tree. She took a look into the forest and said, "Let's go find some firewood."

Bai Shan nodded, took off his cloak and placed it on the tree.

The two guards looked at each other, one followed them in, and the other stayed to look at the horses and things.

This was a wild forest, and it was very messy. Bai Shan and Man Bao walked for a while and saw many dead weeds on the ground, so they pulled some hay to make fire.

People seemed to stay in this forest often, so there were not many dead branches in the book. They walked in for quite a while before they saw any dead branches.

Both of them had done the work of breaking off dead branches and collecting firewood. Bai Shan was taller than Man Bao, so he jumped up and broke off dead branches and threw them to her. Man Bao pulled some thatch and twisted it into a rope and put the firewood on it.

The guards who followed them in also stretched out their hands to pull at the dead branches.

Manbao picked up dead branches and followed Keke's explanation to dig a hole under a big tree.

She slowly eased her movements. After digging the hole, she subconsciously took a look at the guard. She saw that his back was turned to her and he had walked some distance to pull out dead branches, so she reached into the hole with a branch.

inside.

Bai Shancai pulled off a dead branch and threw it on the ground. He subconsciously went to find Man Bao and saw her pulling out the dead branch with a nervous and careful look on her face.

Just as he was about to step forward, he saw her pulling out a balled up snake.

Bai Shanzi froze and couldn't help but stare at her with wide eyes.

Man Baozi also froze. She swallowed and stepped back cautiously. She saw that the snake had woken up and was slowly lifting its head, shaking its head. Her stick was still on the snake, so she didn't even have time to go back to guard it.

, just let Keko put away the stick together.

Bai Shan was considering whether to call the guards over to save his life, when he saw that the stick in Man Bao's hand disappeared together with the snake at the entrance of the cave.

His pupils shrank and he subconsciously took two steps, just in time to block the guard behind him.

The guard still had his back to them, but it seemed that he hadn't heard their movement for a long time and couldn't help but look back.

He saw their young master facing away from him and looking at Miss Man, who was squatting on the ground and didn't know what she was doing.

He smiled and shook his head, then turned back and continued to break off his branches without disturbing them.

Bai Shan stared for a long time, making sure that the stick and snake would not appear out of thin air again, then turned to look at the guard, and then stepped forward and squatted next to Man Bao.

Manbao was shouting "Ahhhh..." to Keke until Keke ensured that the snake would not stay in the system space and was directly included in the encyclopedia. It had been transported to the relevant research laboratory by the encyclopedia. They were not there at all.

After being in the same space dimension, Man Bao stopped "Ahh..."

Bai Shan came close to Man Bao and stared at her, "Your face is already pale. Since you are afraid, why do you want to provoke it?"

Man Bao asked in a low voice, "Have you seen everything?"

Bai Shan nodded.

Man Bao exhaled and said, "It's not what I want, it's what others want."

"Uncle Zhou?"

Man Bao shook his head, "No, it's for someone else."

Bai Shan said: "It's really strange. Instead of giving paper money, is it popular to give snakes as gifts?"

Manbao:……

Bai Shan had already found the reason for himself, "Yes, snakes, can eating snakes increase the power of ghosts?"

Manbao:……

"Then should we find some snakes for Uncle Zhou?"

When Man Bao was about to refuse, Bai Shan said, "But it's still too dangerous for us to catch snakes ourselves. We can ask someone to catch them. There should be people in the countryside who are good at catching snakes, right?"

Man Bao immediately said: "You are right, you can find someone."

How could she not think of it for a moment?

"But if we buy a snake, will our family know about it?"

It's okay if Bai Shan knows about this. If other people know about it, they will definitely not be able to hide it from her parents. Keke's existence cannot be told to others.

But if everyone thinks that the person following her is her biological father...

Manbao felt suffocated just thinking about it. Her parents would go crazy if they found out, so this matter must be kept secret.

Bai Shan didn't think this was a problem. He patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, leave this matter to me."

The guard pulled a lot of dead branches. When he turned around, he found that the young master and Miss Man were squatting together and whispering with their heads very close. He couldn't help but said loudly: "Master, Miss Man, do you think this is enough?

?”

The two of them turned to look at each other, nodded and said: "That's almost it. There are many of us, so let's pull some more."

Then they continued to talk quietly together.

The guard scratched his head. The old lady only said to follow the young master and Miss Man closely to prevent them from being in danger and not to let them violate the rules. But getting closer and whispering should not be considered a violation of the rules, right?

He turned around hesitantly and continued to break off the dead branches.

Bai Shan and Man Bao had already made a plan, so they happily got up to sort the firewood. At this time, Man Bao found that her feet were numb due to nervousness and squatting for too long, and she almost fell on Bai Shan.

Bai Shan half hugged her, and after she calmed down for a while, he supported her and walked back slowly.

Man Bao walked a dozen steps, and after the numbness in his bones passed, he and Bai Shan picked up all the firewood on the ground and tied it up.

The three finally dragged four bundles of firewood back.

The remaining guards quickly rolled up their sleeves and went to help.

The four people built four fires, but they only set up the firewood and had not lit the fire yet.

They waited for a long time but no one came. The guard looked up at the sun, estimated the time and said, "Master, how about I go and take a look?"

Bai Shan nodded, "Go ahead."

The guard rode back to look for him, but he came back less than a quarter of an hour later, following the carriage at a distance.

He reported loudly: "Master, the old lady and the others have arrived."

Bai Shan and Man Bao walked hand in hand to the roadside to wait, while the other guard went to light the fire.

The motorcade slowly arrived, walked forward for a while and then stopped. The vehicle in the middle stopped in front of Bai Shan and the others.

Bai Shan went to help his grandmother and mother, while Man Bao went to help Mr. Zhuang.

Some servants moved some stools for Mrs. Liu and Mr. Zhuang to sit on, while the others could only squat or sit on the grass.

Wu Lang also stopped the car. San Tou, San Ya and Si Tou had no experience of traveling far away, so they all listened to Wu Lang and Man Bao and took some food from the car. The three families got together and shared the food.

Mrs. Liu took a remade white steamed bun from Man Bao, took a bite and smiled at Mr. Zhuang: "It's strange, these steamed buns are all made the same way, but her sister-in-law makes them better than others."

Do it more vigorously."

Mr. Zhuang smiled and nodded. This was the most regretful thing for him to let go of the school.

Man Bao smiled and said, "Grandma Liu can eat as much as she likes. My sister-in-law has made a lot for us."
