Manbao took Bai Shanbao by the hand and they ran all the way toward Zhou SiLang's wasteland.
Datou, along with the Bai family's servant who had appeared from who knows where, followed behind them.
Ms. Liu had instructed the servant that if Bai Shanbao was playing with the little mistress from the Zhou family, there was no need to stop them, just to bring them back when it was time for dinner.
If he was messing around with other students, he should be taken back immediately, so the servant just followed and didn't intervene.
Zhou SiLang and Second Son Daya were squatting on the ground taking a break, gnawing on a thin stalk of sugarcane they had found somewhere.
When Datou came over with Manbao and a plump, fair-skinned child, Zhou SiLang reluctantly broke off a few sections of his sugarcane for them.
Bai Shanbao didn't recognize this thing and didn't know how to eat it.
