Chapter 214: Return to Huaiyang

"Juzi! Jiang Yue! Run quickly!"

Jiang Sinian signaled to Jiang Yue while shouting, and taking advantage of the moment Shen Fengzi wanted to chase the little girls, he tightly locked his arms around Shen Fengzi's neck.

Even as Shen Fengzi swung his sandbag-sized fists at him, Jiang Sinian refused to let go.

He knew that if he let go, Shen Fengzi would surely throw him to the ground, and he would be beaten to death.

Shen Fengzi was choked until he couldn't breathe, his body swayed a few times, and after a few seconds, he collapsed to the ground with a boom.

Jiang Sinian took the opportunity to jump down, with only one thought in his mind: go home and find Dad.

After running out of the bamboo forest, the children finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Bai Mo looked at Jiang Sinian's red and swollen cheek and cried again, "Jiang Sinian, does it hurt a lot?"

It did hurt, so much that Jiang Sinian was about to faint.

But Dad had said that a real man may shed blood and sweat, but not tears.

And he certainly couldn't let a woman worry.

So he bared his teeth and smiled, "It doesn't hurt at all. Stop crying, you look so ugly when you cry."

At this moment, he suddenly remembered the dumplings in his pocket.

But when he took them out, they had all fallen apart.

Bai Mo sniffled, "Were they for me?"

She picked up a piece that was still relatively intact and tasted it, "It's delicious, thank you, Jiang Sinian."

The children returned to the Junshuyuan all the way and told Jiang Cheng and Si Rong about Shen Fengzi bullying Bai Mo in the bamboo forest.

This matter was very important; Jiang Cheng discussed it with Si Rong, and they split into two groups.

Jiang Cheng went to the military unit to report to the relevant leaders, intending to have him detained first to prevent him from committing further crimes.

Si Rong had someone notify Bai Mo's father and mother.

On their way, Company Commander Bai and his wife learned what their daughter had just experienced and were terrified.

Si Rong helped Mrs. Bai check on Bai Mo; fortunately, other than her skirt being torn, she had suffered no other injuries.

But it had still caused great psychological trauma to Bai Mo.

She trembled all over for a long time.

She kept repeating, "No, no."

Not to mention Bai Mu and Bai Fu, even Si Rong, as a teacher, felt heartbroken seeing the little girl in such a state.

"I will definitely make that damn Shen Fengzi pay the price!" Bai Fu said to Jiang Cheng, "Commander, his actions on the Haidao are a huge threat to the children on our island!"

Jiang Cheng nodded.

Even if Shen Lan was crazy, he was indeed a hidden danger; this might be a good opportunity to get rid of him.

"Today, I must thank your little Jiang Sinian; otherwise, things might have turned out even worse."

Bai Bin squatted in front of Jiang Sinian, "Uncle thanks you, thank you for saving Momo. You are welcome to come play at Uncle's house often in the future."

He also felt deep down that he had been too shallow before; he often heard the children on the island say that this Jiang Sinian was a bad kid, and he hadn't approved of his daughter sitting at the same desk as him.

He hadn't expected this "bad kid" to have such a heroic side.

He highly praised Jiang Sinian and took the opportunity to compliment Jiang Cheng as well, praising him for having a son who was a chip off the old block.

To be honest, Jiang Cheng was already immune to ordinary praise; he had received too much praise from childhood to adulthood, but this was the first time because of his son.

It seemed his wife was right; his son might be suitable for the military in the future, as he had the courage and perseverance of a soldier in his bones.

The injuries on Jiang Sinian's face took a week to heal. During this week, his classmates all looked at him with the eyes of someone looking at a little hero. He enjoyed it immensely and was somewhat immersed in it, not wanting his facial injuries to heal.

He even thought about giving himself a few more marks in front of the mirror so he could be a little hero for a few more days.

Meanwhile, Shen Fengzi, who had been wandering the island for years, was also locked up by the military.

There were rumors that he had been executed by firing squad, and other rumors that he had been locked up in an offshore prison.

Even Jiang Cheng didn't know the specific location; he only knew that the matter of Shen Lan's imprisonment was not simple.

Perhaps it didn't have much to do with the Bai Mo incident.

He had a vague suspicion about that aspect, something concerning a higher level.

He guessed he had been taken away for research.

Shen Lan, oh Shen Lan, in the end, you still couldn't handle the great opportunity of Rebirth.

After this incident, Bai Mo, who always liked to smile with her eyes curved like crescent moons, became much more shy.

At school, she rarely spoke to other classmates besides Jiang Sinian.

The incident had passed, but the rumors and gossip had not.

The rumors on the small island also changed in flavor; some said it was because Bai Mo was not decent at a young age and had seduced Shen Fengzi, so she deserved it.

If she were decent, why would she dress up so flashily every day?

Those rumors were like invisible knives, stabbing at the Bai family.

One day, while Jiang Sinian was playing with ants on the side of the road, Bai Mo came to say goodbye to him.

"Jiang Sinian, I'm leaving, I came to say goodbye to you."

Jiang Sinian was a little surprised, "Why?"

"We are moving," Bai Mo put a small notebook into Jiang Sinian's hand, "This is for you."

She would never forget this boy who smelled like mushroom and pork filling.

Jiang Sinian saw a blooming sunflower drawn on the notebook.

It bloomed so dazzlingly, so brilliantly, just like Bai Mo's smile used to be.

The last memory left to Jiang Sinian was Bai Mo's retreating figure.

A white long-sleeved shirt and black trousers.

Only then did Jiang Sinian remember that he had not seen Bai Mo wear a dress for a long time.

Is a princess who does not wear a princess dress still a princess?

Jiang Sinian thought, it was never the dress that was sinful, but the human heart.

Not long after Bai Mo left, Jiang Sinian also had to return to his hometown.

He first learned of this news by eavesdropping.

That day, he had caused trouble again.

He had broken a child's head because that child said Bai Mo was a slut who seduced men and was shameless.

Jiang Sinian knew that he would surely be subjected to a severe beating that night.

Unexpectedly, as soon as his father got home, he stayed in the room talking with his mother.

Jiang Sinian felt that his father and mother must be discussing how to beat him, so he pressed his ear against the door.

Then he heard his parents discussing the matter of returning to their hometown.

Hometown?

Wasn't their home right here on Haidao?

Jiang Sinian seemed to hear his mother crying too; he originally thought his father had bullied his mother, but then Jiang Sinian thought again, no matter who bullied his mother, his father could never be the one to bully her.

On this night of causing trouble, Jiang Sinian did not get beaten.

The day after he woke up, his father and mother had already packed a suitcase.

Their family set off on the road back to Huaiyang.

"Rest assured, Mom is a lucky person and will surely be fine." Jiang Cheng spoke words of comfort, but in his heart, he understood that this kind of comfort had no practical meaning.

He thought, it was time to return to Huaiyang.

He did not want to see his wife's regretful and painful tears anymore.

On the third day of Si Mother's hospitalization, Si Rong's family finally rushed back to Huaiyang.

"Rongrong..." On the hospital bed, Si Mother was muttering the name of her youngest daughter without consciousness.

Her hands struggled in the air, ten fingers fluttering, as if she were untangling messy silk threads.

"Mom is thinking of Little Sister," the eldest daughter-in-law of the Si Family rubbed her reddened eye corners.

The ward door was pushed open, and Si Rong trotted in, threw herself onto her knees before Si Mother's hospital bed, and sobbed uncontrollably, "Mom..."
