Chapter 39 Rock Candied Haws 4
As early as Bai Hulu woke up, Bai Bingtang hid the jade ring back close to her body.
Seeing how he breathed a sigh of relief after seeing her, she smiled slightly, but her thoughts were wandering in her heart.
I don’t know where this white jade came from. In fact, it was originally found in her parents’ bedroom before the siblings left their original home. Then she tied it with a string and wore it close to her body as a souvenir.
Unexpectedly, in the end, this white jade brought a fatal disaster to the original body. Of course, the fault was not with this jade, but with Tan Mo, the person behind the white jade. But she searched the original body's memory and still had no clue.
I had to put this matter aside for the time being.
Before Bai Hulu could speak, she continued: "I'm hungry, let's go to Kwun Tong to pick up bottles. It's still late." In the past, they usually went to pick up bottles early in the morning.
"The doctor said you should take good care of your injury. Don't go out as soon as you wake up. I'll call a few people to go with me." The people Bai Hulu was talking about were several children who were orphans like their siblings.
The light in most places in the room was not very good. When Bai Bingtang, who was in a relatively dark place, heard this, his face darkened and he said, "It's just the two of us going today. Don't call them together recently."
"Bingbingtang, please don't be willful, okay? Do you know that you almost died this time!"
The further Bai Hulu spoke, the stronger his voice became. There was some trembling in his tone, as if he was afraid. Bai Bingtang sensed the concern in his words and decided not to hide it from the little kid in front of him.
"There is a reason why I did this. How do you think our whereabouts when we went to Kwun Tong that day were exposed?"
In fact, the siblings do not go out every day, and the time when they go out and come home is not always fixed. But coincidentally, they did not plan to go out that day, but the children said they wanted to go out in the afternoon.
I went to Kwun Tong to pick up bottles and specially invited them to join me.
Since the orphans started to form a group, they would always cooperate with each other, so the siblings did not hesitate that day. There were so many people around them, so it would not be a problem to come back a little later.
But unexpectedly, after I came back that day, my house was robbed.
How can there be so many coincidences in this world? According to Bai Bingtang, it is very likely that there is a mole among those children.
After being reminded like this, Bai Gourd inevitably thought more about it, frowned her handsome brows, and after a moment of silence, she said: "Then I will pick it up by myself today, and you wait at home for me to come back."
"No, I'll go with you. My injury is no longer serious. Otherwise, I would have been lying down long ago. How could I still be standing here fine?"
Bai Hulu couldn't resist her, and finally agreed to her proposal. This time, without any warning, the two quietly left the shanty town and went to Kwun Tong, where the rich lived.
There is a lot of garbage produced in the wealthy area every day. Some things that seemed fine to the siblings were thrown into the garbage pile. The two of them each held a patched woven bag while picking up bottles.
While I'm at it, I'll see if I can find anything else I can exchange for money at the garbage dump, or something I can use at home.
The two of them changed several garbage piles in succession until the bag could no longer be filled, and then they stopped.
On the way back, Bai Bingtang caught a glimpse of two familiar figures out of the corner of her eye, passing by on another street connected to the alley next to the street they passed. She immediately grabbed one of Bai Hulu's sleeves.
