Chapter 254: Can’t steal melons without breaking legs
“Father, what’s wrong with you? I am Dabao!” Bai Dabao panicked. What kind of poisonous snake bitten his father and made him crazy?
When he heard familiar voices, Bai Dazhu stopped begging and slowly looked up. Now that the black figures were close and he saw their face up close, he realized that their face was covered with mud and not like what he imagined.
Bai Dazhu sighed and said: “You two look like a ghost, are you planning to scare me?” Earlier, he was abandoned by Bai Dabao. After being trapped alone in the field, obviously, he got scared to death. And then suddenly, these two appeared, he was very scared.
Bai Dabao opened his mouth and said: “Father, you still blame us? We came in a hurry and look for you. We walked too fast and fell into the mud, which made us look like this.”
Bai Erzhu reached out to help his elder brother: “Don’t talk anymore, let’s go back first and continue to talk about this.”
When Bai Dazhu was pulled up by Bai Erzhu, he immediately roared like a pig: “Don’t move me, don’t move me, it hurts, it hurts!”
Bai Dabao was shocked and asked: “Father, what’s wrong with you? Where are you hurt?”
Bai Dazhu pointed his leg: “My legs, my legs are broken. If my legs are not broken, why wouldn’t I go back home on my own? Why would I stay here and wait for someone to save me?”
Bai Erzhu’s heart suddenly became cold. When his elder brother’s arms were broken, they spent 4 silver coins to cure him. And now his legs were broken? They offended Doctor Lu. If they want him to be cured, they will have to bring him to the Medical Hall in the town. How much money do they have to spend? Does the old lady need to spend all her money?
“Erzhu, I’m afraid that I will have to trouble you to carry back. My legs really hurt and I can’t walk.”
Bai Erzhu was so angry that he doesn’t want to see his elder brother ever again. However, he can’t bear to leave him alone. He and Bai Dabao lifted Bai Dazhu and then carry him on his back.
When the three arrived at the entrance of the village, Bai Dabao suddenly remembered something: “Oh, we forgot to take back the bags of melon.”
Bai Erzhu stopped walking and looked at Bai Dabao: “You didn’t take them back?”
Bai Dabao shook his head and looked back where they came from. The moon was now covered with clouds. The wind was whistling. The leaves were shaking, making his scalp numb.
“I didn’t take it with me, I was too anxious, I didn’t expect that this will happened.”
Bai Erzhu really wanted to drop the man on his back and throw him away in the mountain. What can this father and son actually do? Having given away a bride, to lose one’s army on top of it. Now that they left those bags behind, the villagers will know what happened and they will laugh at them.
Bai Erzhu turned his head and said to Bai Dabao: “You better go back and bring those bags. We can’t go back empty-handed like this, right?”
Bai Dabao shook his head: “No, no, I don’t want to go back, I don’t want to die.” Those shining green eyes were still vivid from his mind. He dared not to go back.
Bai Dazhu felt like he will die in pain, why would he bother to think about to melons? He said: “Stop talking, let’s hurry and go back home. I can’t take it anymore.”
His broken legs hurt every time Bai Erzhu take a step along the way. He doesn’t want to die.
Bai Erzhu was helpless, he had no other choice but to return back home.

Old Lady Bai sighed and smiled: “He should be alright, his voice is loud.”
Mrs. Liu erased the tears on her face and smiled: “It’s good that he is alright.”
