Chapter 5: Chapter 5 Will Eldest Sister Leave Us Behind? Chapter 5: Chapter 5 Will Eldest Sister Leave Us Behind? Thinking about that cheesy romance, Bai Ren, who had been licking blood off his knife edge all year round, unconsciously brushed the goosebumps off his body.
“Stop your yapping, hurry up and take shelter from the rain.”
As for the Fifth Imperial Brother, the Ninth Prince, she didn’t have the spare ti to rekindle old connections, she only wanted to find a shelter before the heavy rain arrived.
Seeing Bai Junjun determined to go back, Bai Sasa said nothing more and obediently kept silent and followed.
Bai Ren, with the two kids in tow, headed back, and after a while, they saw the jungle they had hurriedly passed by during the day.
Without a second thought, Bai Ren led them into it.
In no ti, the figures of the three children disappeared into the dense jungle.
After walking for who knows how long, Bai Ren found a huge tree hollow that could easily fit the three children.
Taking advantage of the rain that had not yet started, Bai Ren instructed the kids to squat there while she went to gather so firewood to bring back.
The kids seed very fearful of their elder sister, imdiately squatting obediently as she commanded, without a hint of doubt.
Seeing this, Bai Ren nodded in satisfaction and quickly left.
Inside the tree hollow, Bai Lingyu, having narrowly escaped death, stared blankly at the pitch-black sky, “Sister Shi Yi, do you think elder sister will abandon us?”
“…” Bai Sasa didn’t answer, she didn’t know either.
She was eight years younger than her elder sister, who was proclaid the World’s Number One Talent Girl at the age of eight, while she was just learning to talk.
Her elder sister, draped in the glory of the family, was like a deity in her heart, despite the later misfortunes of the family, but she could never forget the grand birthday banquet of her elder sister when she was thirteen, three years ago.
Elder sister appeared like a Celestial Maiden in brocade, surrounded by jingling jade ornants, with gifts from princes and Shi clan sons flowing in like dragons.
From childhood, the people around her taught her being a concubine-born was akin to being half a servant, with no control over life and death, and the only thing she could do was rely on her elder sister; if elder sister thrived, they thrived, if elder sister suffered humiliation, they would suffer too.
Her aunt was a maid of the Eldest Madam, her loyalty to the mistress and elder sister even surpassed her love for her, under her aunt’s influence, Bai Sasa was very loyal to Bai Junjun.
Even to the extent that dying for her elder sister was nothing but her duty.
So, when their elder sister bartered them as two-legged sheep to the Refugee group, Bai Sasa’s heart was chilled, yet she dared not defy.
And now, elder sister had suddenly recanted and even risked her life to save them, Bai Sasa was still both excited and restless.
However, whether elder sister might repent and abandon them, she couldn’t be sure…
After all, they were too young, free from the Refugee group, they were nothing but a burden to their elder sister.
Just as the siblings were sitting idly in the tree hollow, pondering whether elder sister would co back, they suddenly heard a rustling sound.
Years of fleeing had made them incredibly alert, and hearing this sound, they stiffened instinctively.
Looking up, they indeed saw a Flower Snake, its scales faintly glowing in the moonlight, slowly moving past the tree hollow.
“!” The siblings were instantly dumbfounded.
In the past, the sight of a Flower Snake would have scared them to death, but in these war-torn, famine-ridden tis, seeing a Flower Python thicker than their wrists didn’t evoke fear but a subconsciously swallowed gulp.
If they could roast it to eat…
But they had never caught snakes before; any place with snakes or vermin would have been sward by Refugees, not leaving them a chance.
As the siblings clumsily searched for any handy Weapon nearby, suddenly a sharpened Wooden Spear shot out from the dark night like an arrow.
