Bai Xuanmo furrowed his brows.
He wanted to refute but had nowhere to start.
It was indeed their negligence that accidentally caused his sister to fall in.
But Marquis Wan’s tone... really made him uncomfortable.
The Eldest Heir Bai Xuanmo gave a light scoff but ultimately remained silent without attempt to defend himself.
Meanwhile, Bai Zhi’er said to the Fifth Heir Bai Fengqing, "Brother, take off your outer robe."
Bai Fengqing was trembling with fear: "What are we doing now?!"
Bai Zhi’er pointed at the bones on the ground.
"I promised this big sister to take her up and bury her. Soon the water will gush out, we need to wrap them in clothes."
Otherwise, these bones will scatter, and it’ll be hard to find them!
Bai Fengqing gasped for breath: "With mine? Why not with yours!"
The little one pouted and said, "Do I have to undress here? Zhi Bao is shy~"
After speaking, Bai Zhi’er placed her little hands on her hips, maintaining a bold posture, "Fifth Brother’s pants were already flying off, so taking the outer robe off for me shouldn’t be a big deal!"
Bai Fengqing was taken aback and looked down.
No wonder he felt a chill on his legs!
Turns out when he fell just now, his pants got torn off!
He felt like crying without tears.
At this point, faced with the pleading light in Bai Zhi’er’s big eyes, Bai Fengqing had no choice but to take off his outer robe.
The little one quickly spread the clothing on the ground and gathered all the bones into it.
Finally, she wrapped the clothes up and tied a knot.
Bai Zhi’er slung it directly on her back.
Her face was charming and cute, with big eyes sparkling. In her current state, she didn’t look like she was trapped in a well, more like she was going somewhere to play.
Bai Fengqing pointed to the skull he had just set down, "Sister, did you forget to pack this one too?"
As he was speaking, the strange rumbling noise from the underground grew louder!
Bai Zhi’er lowered her head with a smile, her little hand covering her lips, "Oops! I really did forget! Uh, there’s no time to put it in now, brother, hold it quick!"
She picked up the skull and shoved it into Bai Fengqing’s arms.
This scared Bai Fengqing quite a bit, causing another string of cries like he was struck by lightning.
Bai Zhi’er patted his shoulder reassuringly, "Brother, remember to follow my orders, listen when Zhi’er tells you to hold your breath!"
Bai Fengqing felt a vibration under his feet, the mud at the bottom of the well seemed to be shaking.
Accompanied by the thundering sound of water, it was as if a flood dragon was about to come out, frightening everyone.
He was no longer concerned about the white bone, only pressing tightly against the well wall.
"Sister! What’s going on!"
Bai Fengqing had just finished speaking when Bai Zhi’er nodded, "Um, it’s time, brother, close your mouth!"
A massive stream of water directly knocked down one side of the bricks at the bottom of the well!
Cold underground water instantly surged in.
In the blink of an eye, Bai Zhi’er’s figure was submerged.
Bai Fengqing was astonished, hurriedly clutching the skull, taking a deep breath!
He reached out, hoping to grab his sister’s hand.
However, the well water surged violently, tossing even himself back and forth in the narrow deep well.
Unable to touch Bai Zhi’er anywhere!
When Feng Fuce arrived, the fourth son Bai Daoyan looked utterly terrified, shouting at the well mouth where clear springs continuously gushed forth:
"Sister! Where are you!"
Water flowed incessantly from the well opening, flushing away the filth at the bottom, gradually becoming clear and reflecting light under the sun.
The sound of rushing water filled the entire abandoned Orange Garden.
