Chapter 387: Carved Pieces
In the living room of the villa.
Bai Dad held the teacup and blew away the floating tea leaves Xiao Ming, then looked at Ye Xiao and asked, "How old is it?"
“25 years old.”
Ye Xiao sat straight, put his hands on his thighs, his palms were a little wet, and he occasionally glanced at Bai's father from the corner of his eyes, took a deep breath to relax his tight body.
"Five years older than my Bai Xi."
Bai's father took another sip of tea and thought to himself: He is worthy of being a soldier. He is so powerful that he is a little afraid to face him. No, he must be tough and show his style. What if this kid bullies Bai Xi?
The words Bai's father covered up his nervousness made Ye Xiao mistakenly think that Bai's father disliked him for being old and wanted to explain a few words, so Bai's father continued to ask questions.
"Who else is there in the family?"
"No one, I was raised by the army."
After saying this, Ye Xiao felt even more uneasy. He was an abandoned baby picked up by soldiers who were on duty in the mountains and was always under the care of the troops.
Later, I was admitted to the military academy in the college entrance examination and entered the game more than a year ago and became a player.
Bai Dad nodded, his expression was calm. Although it was a bit bad, he was very satisfied with Ye Xiao's orphan identity. In this way, Bai Xi would not have to worry about the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law when she got married.
If the two really get married and get married in the future, they will treat Ye Xiao as their own son.
As for Ye Xiao’s character, Bai’s father is not very worried.
First, his identity as a soldier is born with a layer of light, and since he was a child, he should not have any major problems with his style.
Second, Bai Dad believes that the person who can be recognized by her daughter will not be bad.
"You are all active-duty soldiers. You should be very busy in training. There are not many opportunities to meet, right?"
What Bai Dad and Bai Mom are worried about is exactly the opposite. The troops' daily routine is very regular. If it is a troops with relatively high training intensity, the two should not have any chance to meet.
"We belong to the same army and live very close to each other. We can meet every day." Ye Xiao picked up the part he could say and said a few simple words.
"Are you in the same team?"
Thinking of Bai Xi's name to Ye Xiao just now, Bai's father frowned. Aren't the male and female soldiers in the army separate? Why can the two of them still be in the same team?
"Yes. I am the captain of the team and one of her training instructors." Ye Xiao suddenly became nervous again. I wonder why Dad Bai suddenly frowned. He wasn't saying anything wrong?
The conversation between the two continued.
In the kitchen, Bai's mother hung up the phone, put the things on the instructions, looked at Bai's father and Ye Xiao in the living room, and muttered in a low voice: "You are back this time to take him to show us? Are you back for the Spring Festival and celebrate the New Year?"
"There is something to come back this time. You may not be able to come back during the Spring Festival, and there is a high probability that there will be a task."
Bai Xi handed the dried abalone at hand to Bai's mother, who packed it in a glass jar and put it in the refrigerator.
"By the way, Mom, did grandma keep anything left before? Have you moved all the things from the old house?"
"No. Your dad said that he would not bring anything except the things he needs to use in daily life, and he would not leave any thoughts on the old house. After all, he has lived in it for decades."
Seeing Bai Xi asking about his grandparents, Bai's mother whispered: "Your business is to find your grandparents' things?"
"Mom, don't talk about this, even my cousin, uncle and aunt."
Bai Xi didn't remember very clearly what happened when she was a child. She wanted to find a breakthrough from Bai's mother. After all, she knew exactly what she had at home.
"Don't worry, mom knows."
Bai Mom patted her chest and recalled carefully, "I remember that your father has a small wooden carving that looks a bit old, but he doesn't know how this thing came from. I guess it may be left by your grandfather. However, your father doesn't even remember what the old man left for him, so he should be beaten."
"Mom, where is that carving?"
Bai Xi's eyes lit up. According to my mother's description, my father's situation looked like he had been deleted.
"Where are in the house, do you want it now? I'll take it for you."
At this moment, Bai's mother packed everything. Seeing Bai Xi nodding, she got up and walked towards the second floor. Bai Xi hurriedly followed her.
When passing by the living room, Ye Xiao and Bai's father stopped talking in a tacit understanding, and then continued after Bai Xi and Bai's mother went up the second floor.
After searching in the bedroom, Bai Ma found a white standing man wood carving that was only half the size of an adult's palm and was strangely shaped from the drawer at the bottom of the bedside table.
"It's this." Bai's mother gave the carving to Bai Xi and said, "I have never seen the figure of this carving before. It's very strange. It doesn't look like a human being?"
The moment she took the sculpture, Bai Xi suddenly sensed that there was a small space hidden inside the sculpture, but she could only sense the existence of the space and could not know what was inside.
"Mom, why haven't I seen this sculpture before, and I have never heard you talk about it." Bai Xi's memory was not available for any information about this sculpture.
"Your father is very precious to this carving piece. He said that the carving craftsmanship is very exquisite and is a rare good thing. He is afraid that you will lose the thing and will never take it out in front of you. He will only take it out and study it when you sleep at night."
Bai Ma explained.
"Mom, are there any other similar things at home?" Bai Xi asked quickly. Since there are carvings, will there be other things there?
"There is no more villas, and I don't know what you are looking for. You can go back to the old house and look for them, maybe you will find them."
"Mom, I'll go to the old house and take a look." The white erectus statue was so weird. Bai Xi couldn't wait to go to the old house to take a look, maybe there would be surprises.
"Okay, you guys hurry up and go and do it."
I haven't seen her for more than a month, and her daughter is about to leave. Although Bai's mother couldn't bear to leave, she knew the severity of the matter. It's not that she never returned. She could still call her daughter and talk to her videos, but she didn't feel too reluctant to leave.
"I love you mom."
Bai Xi hugged Bai's mother, then turned and went downstairs. Looking at her hot daughter, Bai's mother smiled spoiledly, "I'm so old, I'm still so irritable."
Hearing the sound coming from the upstairs, Ye Xiao and Bai Dad both turned to look over.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Bai Xi's anxious look, Ye Xiao stood up and asked, his eyes falling on the carvings on her hand, and he immediately understood.
"Captain, go to the old house." Bai Xi looked at Bai Dad again and apologized: "Dad, let's go to the old house to find something."
After saying that, Bai Xi pulled Ye Xiao and hurried out.
Looking at the hurried backs of the two, Bai Dad looked at Bai's mother who was coming down from the second floor with a blank look on his face, "What's going on with them?"
Bai's mother looked at the door where Bai Xi and the others were no longer visible, and said lightly: "She took away your carving."
"Are you crazy? I forgot what the will left by my father said? That thing will bring disaster to her." Bai Dad looked shocked and a little angry. Why is his wife unreliable at critical moments?
