Bai Erlang knew that he couldn't outtalk them, so he plunked himself down on the threshold and said, "There's nothing left, my capital is in that two hundred taels as well. If you want the money, you'll have to step over me."
Bai Shan and Manbao pretended they were going to step over him, but Bai Erlang started bawling, flailing his arms, "May no evil invade, divine spirits protect me..."
With a snort, Manbao and Bai Shan hugged the silver and left.
After they placed the silver in their own room, Yin Huo, full of curiosity, stayed behind to watch Bai Erlang.
Seeing that he had finally gotten rid of the two, Bai Erlang heaved a deep sigh of relief. Meeting Yin Huo's gaze, he said, "Yin Huo, you'll have to be careful in the future. My Senior Sister and Senior Brother are especially shrewd. I've never seen them come out on the losing end from when we were little to now. They seem nice to you now, but eventually, they'll find a way to recover their losses from you."
