After rebirth, I went from a peasant girl to the richest man

Chapter 126 The frightened little girl

After getting her beloved doll, the girl held the small doll tenderly in her arms, hugging it with her thin arms.

There was quite a bit of noise in the room. The second after hearing the sound, Bai's father started looking for Bai Qingyun's location.

"Yao'er!"

A hurried voice came from the yard.

When the girl heard the voice, she subconsciously went into Bai Qingyun's arms.

It seemed that because of the act of returning the doll, Bai Qingyun became more friendly in the girl's eyes in a short period of time.

It is also possible that in the usually safe environment, the girl subconsciously believes that she is only safe around Bai Qingyun.

"Daddy, I'm here!"

Father Bai was anxious and afraid that something might happen to Bai Qingyun, so he told his father his location first to reassure him.

Afraid that his voice wouldn't be heard, Bai Qingyun spoke much louder than before.

The girl was almost sticking to him, and Bai Qingyun could clearly feel the trembling of her body.

"Don't be afraid, that's my daddy, not those bad guys."

Bai Qingyun originally had many questions, such as whether there were other places in the house where he could hide people? For example, whether he should help the woman in the main house collect the body...

Bai Qingyun, full of doubt, finally asked only one question: "Are you willing to come with me?"

There are not many living people in this yard. The girl is younger than Bai Qingyun. Unlike the boy, she cannot make a living by begging. Even if such a girl goes out to beg, she will eventually be sold into a brothel.

When people are sold as slaves to noble families, their family situations will be inquired about. Only places like that would like homeless people.

When Father Bai entered the room, the first thing he saw was the wound on Bai Qingyun's forehead.

Anxious, Bai's father approached Bai Qingyun and said, "My son, go back quickly and let your mother bandage you!"

In this kind of weather, even a small cut on the body is difficult to heal.

But the girl hugged Bai Qingyun tightly, and as Bai's father approached, she couldn't let go. Even the doll that she was holding tightly was thrown to the ground by her in a panic.

Father Bai looked at the scene in front of him and understood what had happened.

Bai Qingyun was imprisoned, and Bai's father picked up the doll on the ground and shook off the dust.

Without waiting for the girl's answer, Bai Qingyun directly picked up the girl and walked out of the house.

"Dad, check the closet to see if there are any clothes or cloaks. Take a few!"

There was no tailor shop to make clothes for her while she was fleeing, and the girl couldn't wear Bai Qingyun and Xie Shuer's clothes.

Walking in the village, passing through the burned and collapsed houses, he met An Twelve and Yang Dashan at the entrance of the village.

Bai Qingyun looked at Twelve, who shook his head slightly.

Yes, the bandits came at night and caught people off guard. Many people probably didn’t have time to react and died under the bandits’ swords.

Those flames didn't even give anyone a glimmer of hope for life.

Finding the little guy hiding in the secret compartment is already an unexpected gain.

"Miss Bai, let's go back quickly. Your wound needs to be bandaged as soon as possible!"

Twelve saw the wound on Bai Qingyun's forehead at a glance, but he had no intention of taking the little girl from Bai Qingyun's arms.

Such scenes were not unfamiliar to her as she had experienced so many life and death scenes.

If you experience the scene of a loved one's death in this way, you will either be frightened to death or suffer a serious illness.

Twelve's guess was almost confirmed. When they returned to the fleeing team, the little girl had fallen asleep without them knowing when.

Thanks to the girl falling asleep, Bai Qingyun was able to catch his breath and let his mother clean and bandage the wound on his forehead.

No one asked where the little girl came from.

Even the Bai family treated him as if he were another family member and took good care of him.

Having been delayed in Lijia Village for a long time, they had a quick lunch and set off again.

In the afternoon, the villagers were used to being on the move, so they walked much faster than yesterday. After passing Lijia Village, they did not encounter any human beings today.

As usual, Huo Huo found the nearest cave at night.

The top of the mountain is not big, and the cave is also small. People just spread straw in the cave and live there, and their lives are crowded.

All cooking can only be done outside the cave. Even some daily necessities are placed outside and covered with a layer of oil paper to prevent them from being soaked by snow and water.

The little girl from Lijia Village woke up at night. Bai Qingyun and Xie Shuer were with her throughout the afternoon's journey.

The girl had nightmares the whole afternoon and could hear whispers from time to time.

Without going to the clinic, Bai Qingyun knew that the doctor's diagnosis would be too shocking.

But Bai Qingyun knew that the little girl's condition was called PTSD in psychology, which is often called post-traumatic stress disorder.

The symptoms of this type of mental disorder vary, and the little girl's reaction cannot be cured by simple tranquilizers.

Bai Qingyun was attracted by a scream in the cave. Twelve went to explore the way as usual. After dinner, there was nothing to do, so Bai Qingyun stayed outside the cave to keep watch.

The little girl's scream was very sharp, not as pleasant as a dolphin's, and even a little harsh.

People around didn't dare to get close. Xie Shuer stayed by her side the whole time, and the girl showed resistance when anyone approached her.

It was not until she saw Bai Qingyun that the girl's eyes focused. She broke through the crowd and ran towards Bai Qingyun as if she was grabbing a life-saving straw.

After Bai Qingyun apologized to everyone, he carried her away from the crowd and took her to the burning fire outside.

The crackling sound of the burning fire reached her ears, but the girl did not calm down.

It seemed that the fire that burned Lijia Village had been engraved in the girl's mind and could not be erased.

Bai Qingyun had no choice but to take her away and bring her to a frozen stream.

The stream had just been dug by someone for cooking, and now there was a faint sound of flowing water, which soothed the girl's heart.

Fortunately, Bai Qingyun carried the crystal core he bought from Lin Jinyu, which allowed the two of them to stay warm even in the cold wilderness.

"Are you hungry?"

Except for eating a meat bun handed to her by Bai Qingyun when they met in the morning, the girl did not eat anything else.

Bai Qingyun certainly knew that she was hungry now, but rather than giving it to him on his own initiative, Bai Qingyun would rather hear the girl's voice.

Since she begged him to return the doll to her when they met, the girl hasn't spoken a word since.

Bai Qingyun did not wait for the girl to speak. He only saw her nod slightly and look at Bai Qingyun cautiously. She did not dare to look at him any longer and buried her head in Bai Qingyun's shoulder after just one glance.

Yes, now she is just like Xie Shuer when she first came to the Bai family. She is afraid of being abandoned, afraid that she is too greedy, and makes a living cautiously.

How dare I tell others that I’m hungry?

Bai Qingyun did not just take one meat bun as she did during the day. She took a variety of convenient foods such as buns and stuffed pancakes to make it easier for her to choose.

The girl chose the meat bun without hesitation and ate it in small bites just like she did in the morning.
