Chapter 268: I Am Missing You Too

Seeing Bai Cai and the others being taken into the police car, the villagers also dispersed one after another.

Soon, only a few people were left at the Farm.

"Click."

The power was turned on, and the lights around the Farm lit up.

"Caw!"

A black shadow descended from the sky and landed on the tree beside Bai Wei.

Ye Lao was startled, "What a large bird..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly went stiff all over, as if frozen in place.

Under the lights, Cang Yun gripped the branch with its talons, leisurely preening its feathers.

As soon as Li Hong saw Cang Yun, she was startled and cried out in disgust.

"Quick, drive this hawk away; it's going to attack people."

Bai Wei ignored her completely.

Professor Ye, however, suddenly lunged forward, dancing with excitement.

"Is this a Gyrfalcon?"

"An ancient, purebred Gyrfalcon; you can't see these in modern times anymore."

"I never expected you to have one here."

Seeing Professor Ye's excited state, Bai Wei felt a sudden shiver in her heart.

Oh no!

This Gyrfalcon was sent over by Xiao Moting from ancient Daliang, and such hawks are no longer seen nowadays.

"Bai Wei, is this your bird? Where did you get it?" Professor Ye asked in a rapid-fire succession.

She hurriedly ran forward and stood in front of Professor Ye.

"Professor Ye, it is... it came here on its own."

"Hmm?" Professor Ye looked suspicious, sizing her up from head to toe, "Bai Wei, you mustn't lie to me. This Gyrfalcon has been extinct for over a hundred years; yours is likely the only one in the entire world."

"It, it really just came here by itself." Bai Wei wasn't lying.

Cang Yun was put into the wardrobe by Xiao Moting and came to the modern world on its own.

Li Hong ran up, "Professor Ye, if you are interested in this hawk, then hurry up and take it away. Just now, this hawk clawed and bit Bai Cai, and even blinded his eye. You should take it away for research quickly."

Bai Wei was displeased and immediately stepped forward, "Mom, aren't you going to Uncle's place in the provincial capital tomorrow? Go back to your room and sleep."

"Xiao Wei, this hawk is dangerous; we can't let it stay."

Bai Wei interrupted coldly, "Mom, if it weren't for it just now, both of us would probably have been tied up by Bai Cai. Besides, this is my Farm, and I have the final say!"

Her tone was firm and brooked no refusal.

Li Hong had no choice but to give up, speaking in a grievance-filled tone.

"You've grown up, your wings have hardened, and now you don't listen to Mom anymore."

She muttered to herself while walking into the house.

Professor Ye stepped forward impatiently, "Bai Wei, can I take this Gyrfalcon back to study..."

Bai Wei ignored Li Hong and turned to give Cang Yun a look, signaling it to fly away quickly so Professor Ye wouldn't keep thinking about it.

Cang Yun was very intelligent; it immediately flapped its wings and soared into the sky with a whoosh.

It flew very fast, quickly disappearing into the night sky.

Seeing the Gyrfalcon fly away, Ye Lao cried out in distress.

"My Gyrfalcon, come back!"

He stood where he was, beating his chest and stamping his feet.

Bai Wei suppressed a smile and stepped forward to comfort him, "Ye Lao, don't be sad; perhaps it will fly back one day..."

It would have been better if she hadn't mentioned it, but as soon as she did, Ye Lao spoke up urgently.

"Yes, yes, Bai Wei, you just help me keep an eye on it at the Farm; if it ever flies back, notify me the very first moment."

"Okay." Bai Wei nodded.

Looking at Ye Lao's dejected appearance, she couldn't help but feel a bit of pity.

But Cang Yun was the hawk raised by Xiao Moting, and no matter what, she would not hand it over to Ye Lao.

In the future, if Xiao Moting could catch another hawk over there, she would have him send one over to give to Ye Lao.

Bai Wei thought for a moment, "Ye Lao, there is something I would like to ask for your help with."

"What is it?" Ye Lao was surprised.

Bai Wei glanced at the guard booth, "Could I trouble you to help me find a few security guards?"

The security guards from earlier were ones she had asked Manager Liu to help hire.

She hadn't expected them to be so unreliable; not only were they fast asleep, but they were completely unaware even when thieves had entered the Farm.

The retired security guards from Ye Lao's side were more reliable.

Ye Lao pondered for a moment, "That's easy to handle; I'll have someone look for them tomorrow."

Bai Wei said gratefully, "Thank you, Ye Lao."

The sky was almost bright, so Ye Lao left to return to the city to rest.

Bai Wei took out her phone and sent a thank-you message to Zhou Yuchuan.

"Zhou Yuchuan, thank you for warning me and for sending Ye Lao over; I am safe now."

After sending the message, she reached into her pocket and took out a handful of small paper strips.

These paper strips were all sent over by Xiao Moting just now.

Because there were many villagers at the Farm, Bai Wei used Telekinesis to transport the notes into her pocket, only taking them out after the villagers had left.

Each small slip of paper was filled with words of concern.

"Bai, how is the situation on your end? Are you still safe?"

"Have the few thieves been subdued?"

"I have already sent Cang Yun over; I raised it from a young age, and it is fierce by nature and can help you subdue the enemy."

Bai Wei clutched a handful of small notes, feeling incredibly moved in her heart.

If it weren't for the limitations on the Jade Pendant's Teleportation, she would want to teleport back to Daliang right now to see Xiao Moting.

She raised her head, looked toward the bungalow not far away, and sighed slightly.

Zhou Yuchuan, Xiao Moting, Ye Lao, the village chief... and the villagers in the village, all cared for and protected her, worrying about her safety.

Yet only Li Hong remained stubbornly muddled, unable to distinguish right from wrong.

In order not to let Xiao Moting worry, Bai Wei also took a piece of white paper to write a reply to Xiao Moting.

"Xiao Moting, thank you; thanks to your advice, I successfully navigated the crisis."

"I am perfectly fine now, and the thieves have already been taken away."

"Cang Yun is very impressive and helped me a great deal."

The hand Bai Wei held the pen with paused, and a flush of crimson rose to her cheeks.

"Also, I miss you."

After writing the final stroke, she transported the note over.

Compared to the modern era, Bai Wei preferred the Beijiang Junying in Daliang; at least there, there were not so many relatives who wanted to harm her and could not distinguish right from wrong.

Daliang.

Xiao Moting stood in the room, having not closed his eyes all night, his eyes bloodshot from exhaustion.

He could not go over to find Bai Wei and could only fret in vain.

"Bai, are you still safe now..."

Before he could finish his sentence, a note suddenly fell down.

Xiao Moting immediately perked up and caught the note in one motion.

He quickly finished reading the words on the paper and let out a heavy breath.

Thank goodness!

Bai Wei was alright!

But just as he saw the last line of text, he suddenly froze.

Following that, Xiao Moting's handsome face turned crimson, and his heart began to beat rapidly.

She missed him?

For a moment, a surge of excitement welled up in Xiao Moting's heart, and he felt as jubilant as a young boy.

He had thought that his feelings all this time had not been accepted by Bai Wei.

It turned out she was missing him just the same.

Xiao Moting gripped the note tightly, ecstatic.

At this moment, how he longed to go to the modern era and hold her tightly in his arms.

He picked up his brush and wrote a few words, stroke by stroke.

"Bai, Mo Ting is also thinking of you and missing you."

Bai Wei had already received Xiao Moting's note.

Looking at the familiar handwriting on the paper, her heart felt sweet.

She raised her head and looked at the sky, which was about to turn light.

When would she be able to go to Daliang again?
