Chapter 232

Baiyin keenly discovered that the brother and sister had something they wanted to hide. This keenness had nothing to do with Baiyin's intelligence, but only with Baiyin's experience.

Baiyin is an orphan.

Her parents died in the war when she was just in junior high school.

Baiyin's parents left an inheritance, and the country also provided a large pension. With so much money, the little boy paraded through the streets. Naturally, wolves and tigers would surround him, and these wolves and tigers would claim to be Baiyin's relatives.

Baiyin was smart when he was young, but when his parents were alive, he grew up in a honey pot. No matter how smart he was, he was no match for those mercenary old foxes, and suffered a lot.

Fortunately, Baiyin was sensible. When her own house was also being coveted by others, Baiyin found her parents' comrades-in-arms. After experiencing some twists and turns, she finally managed to hold on to the house and the resources left for her.

This is also the reason why Baiyin was a little withdrawn and indifferent during his youth, although he was not hostile or hateful towards the people around him.

It was because of this experience that she was able to taste something different from Ah Zi's fragmentary words and hesitation.

There are very few people in this village, probably no more than fifty.

Logically speaking, no matter how few people there are, when a stranger appears in the village, young and middle-aged people or elderly people who are in charge of the affairs of the village should come out.

But after Baiyin entered the village, he walked from one end of the village to the other, but didn't see anyone.

Every household has its doors closed. In this situation, either everyone is really timid, or the person who has a say or can contribute has disappeared.

It is a very simple truth. Parents often tell their children that if mom or dad is not at home, they must not open the door if a stranger knocks on the door. However, if parents are at home, especially the father is at home, if a stranger knocks on the door, the father as an adult will generally answer the stranger.

The young and middle-aged men and the person in charge were not in the village. Combining what A Zi said about setting traps, recalling the geographical environment mentioned by Lei Ting, and pondering the abrupt end of A Lang and A Zi's words, Bai Yin boldly guessed that the missing people in the village left together.

The relationship between the large group that left together and the wolf that came back early, or even the wolf who didn't go out with the large group at all, is very subtle.

Ahlang cannot speak, but he has all four limbs intact, is strong and powerful, and owns a third-level wolf.

In this environment with a small population and everyone under pressure to survive, a capable person who likes to be alone is definitely not a loner due to his personality. It is either because of the difference in division of labor or there is something fishy between them.

Baiyin drooped his eyelids, thinking about this almost independent house, it should be the latter.

A pair of siblings who are capable but have issues with most people, and whose days are manageable but not very good.

This was a bleak start no matter where it was, but Baiyin still shamelessly breathed a sigh of relief, not for the brother and sister, but for his own situation.

If a stranger who threatens everyone appears in a united village, everyone in the village is likely to try their best to eliminate this person who threatens everyone while sticking together. Moreover, a united village is likely to indicate that the rule of the upper class over the lower class is extremely stable. If the upper class governs well, the lower class will naturally obey and respect the upper class, and may even be brainwashed.

The people of Qingguo Village may not be able to deal with Baiyin, but they can go to Dangkou County to call for help.

If Alang was wholeheartedly working for the good of the village, Baiyin would take Alang to Dangkou County, and Alang would have just made a few gestures that Baiyin couldn't understand but the locals could, and he might have been crushed to death in Dangkou County.

However, Alang has conflicts with the people in the village. As long as Baiyin does not reveal his ill will towards A Zi and other people in the village, Baiyin feels that Alang, who can't speak but looks very smart and calm, should not sell himself out.

As for whether these brother and sister are the kind of people who will remain loyal to the people above them even if they are not living well, if this is not the animal world but other human kingdoms, Baiyin believes that the probability of this is still very high.

However, the rulers above are actually ferocious beasts, and there is a natural barrier between them and humans. She doesn't think that people who have the saying "those who are not of my race must have different hearts" engraved in their bones will be absolutely loyal to a foreign race when they are starving and cold.

After a short period of contact with the brother and sister, Baiyin believes that the two siblings have their own ideas, no matter whether they are the brother or the sister, but when talking about the Tiger King and General Sirius, there is no loyalty, fanaticism or fear in their eyes.

After promising Baiyin that he would take her to Dangkou County in a few days, Ah Lang stood up and left. Baiyin watched Ah Lang leave with confusion in her eyes. She didn't know whether she should admire the young man's courage to let her young sister be alone with a stranger.

When turning around, Baiyin saw the white wolf lying under the bed, staring at him.

Oh, it’s not that you’re so careless, there are “people” watching here.

After Ah Lang left, Bai Yin turned to look at Ah Zi, who was also about to get up, and asked, "I came from the north. I saw a lot of fields in front of the village. Are there any fields belonging to your family?"

Ah Zi shook her head and said honestly, "No." Her tone was a little muffled, and Bai Yin pretended not to hear.

Then he asked, "Is there a shortage of food in your village?"

Ah Zi looked up at Bai Yin with a wary look in her eyes and asked, "Why are you asking this?"

"Nothing, I just asked."

"It's OK." Ah Zi answered vaguely. Without her brother, she didn't dare to answer directly.

But such vague wording already says something.

Baiyin asked again: "Can I walk around the house?"

A Zi hesitated for a moment, asked Bai Yin to wait, and then went out to ask A Lang.

Baiyin sat at the table, staring at Bailang.

Not long after, Ah Zi came back. Seeing Bai Yin still sitting there, she breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Do you want to live in our house?"

Bai Yin nodded.

"My brother said you can stay at our house, but you have to exchange it for food."

Bai Yin smiled and said, "Deal."

After saying that, she stood up, and in Ah Zi's puzzled look, asked Ah Zi to follow her to the back of the house.

Behind the house, facing west is the jungle.

Standing behind the house, Baiyin looked up at the jungle, and A Zi followed Baiyin and looked up at the jungle.

The next second, under the afterglow of the setting sun, a purple shadow flew from the west, and the little girl slowly opened her eyes.

Close, getting closer.

Ah Zi called out Ah Lang, and Ah Lang put down what he was holding and walked over here. The white wolf in the room smelled something and also came out of the house.

The white wolf was alert at first, but after seeing the purple shadow in the sky, the vigilance in his eyes eased a little, but he still arched his back and assumed an attacking posture.

Bai Yin saw that everyone was on high alert and said awkwardly, "That's my beast."
