Bai Gu returned to his home that night.
He rejected the invitation from Old Liu Tou and Brother Peng to stay overnight.
Even if there is not even a piece of cloth at home now, changing clothes while sleeping is a problem.
But so what?
After all, this is still my home. No matter what, I feel at ease when I sleep.
He knew that if he went to Lao Liutou or Brother Peng's house, he might be able to sleep under a thick quilt, wear thick clothes, and have food to fill his stomach. But what's the use?
After all, it's not as stable as your own home.
As the old saying goes, a golden nest or a silver nest is not as good as your own doghouse.
It can be said that it is very suitable for the occasion.
Bai Gu unloaded his baggage and lay directly on the old wooden bed.
Sleeping with clothes on.
A night of whimpering in the wind and snow.
——————
In the early morning, Lao Liu yawned, opened the door, and started a new day.
However, when he opened the door, he couldn't help but be startled.
Outside the house, a man stood upright, motionless and silent.
A lot of snow fell on my head, shoulders, and body, and even my eyebrows were covered with frost. It seemed that I had been standing for a long time.
But Old Liu Tou was only slightly startled, glanced at the visitor, and walked back into the house without saying anything.
"Come in, don't freeze."
The person who came was none other than Bai Gu.
Bai Gu walked into the house and did not sit down in the front hall. Instead, he continued walking inside, entered the back room, and sat beside Bai Xiaoxiao's bed.
Bai Gu stretched out his left hand, trying to hold Bai Xiaoxiao's bandaged hand, but it hung in mid-air, trembling several times and not daring to let go for a long time.
Finally, he made a fist with his left hand and gently placed it next to Bai Xiaoxiao.
He was afraid of accidentally hurting Bai Xiaoxiao.
Old Liu Tou brought out a steaming pot from the backyard, "Come here and have something to eat."
"Not hungry."
"Then get out and come back after eating, so as not to starve to death in my place."
Bai Gu sat down at the table in the next second. He first scooped a bowl for Lao Liutou, then made some for himself, picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
This is the color of the porridge... why is it green?
Old Liu Tou seemed to know what Bai Gu was thinking, "I added some herbs to nourish blood and qi, nourish yin and strengthen yang."
Bai Gu looked strange.
"I got it specially for you. I'm already old. Do you think I still need to make up for it?"
"You will continue to grow stronger as time goes by."
"I'm a serious person." Old Liu Tou looked serious.
"Yes, yes, yes, it's whatever you say." Bai Gu had a playful look on his face, suppressing a smile.
Lao Liutou put down the bowl and said in a serious tone, "But to be honest, your physical condition is indeed very bad now. Not only are you deficient in qi and blood, but you also have internal injuries in your body, including damage to the internal organs, meridians and acupoints. These need to be cured. It’s nothing more than a minor injury.”
"But now, apart from a little pain in my body, I don't seem to feel anything else."
"It's normal. You are just an ordinary person. This kind of injury is not serious and it is not unusual." Old Liu Tou added some porridge for himself and continued to eat.
"Ordinary people?" Bai Gu noticed the key point in Old Liu Tou's words, "Is it possible that there are also special people?"
"Heh, yes, there are a lot of them out there. Also, do you think you're not ordinary enough?"
"Don't change the subject!"
Old Liu glanced at him but said nothing.
Bai Gu curled his lips. Old Liu Tou was good at everything, but his character who liked to talk half-talk was quite appetizing. This is very bad!
He was just about to continue drinking porridge when he suddenly remembered something and took out a piece of stuff from his baggage and handed it to Old Liu Tou, "Grandpa Liu, please help me see if this thing is useful?"
Old Liu glanced at it and said, "The scales of the ancient Tuose snake? Where did you get them?"
Bai Gu scratched his head, "It was the giant snake I mentioned yesterday. When I woke up, it was gone. Only this thing was left on the ground."
"It can be said to be useful, or it can be said to be useless. It depends on who uses it and how to use it. If used correctly, it is a good thing. If used incorrectly, it is just a piece of waste." Old Liu Tou thought for a while, "At least you can't use it now. .”
"Is this thing valuable?" Bai Gu asked the question he wanted to know the most.
"It's not bad. You have to find someone who knows the goods, especially if they are urgently needed, so you can make a huge profit."
"How much can it be sold for? One copper plate? Two copper plates? Five is enough, right?" Bai Gu threw the snake scales casually on the table, "That's it, you still have to find someone who knows the goods, so why not don't want."
Old Liu shook his head, "More than that." He stretched out a finger again, "It's worth this amount."
"Ten copper coins?"
Old Liu shook his head.
"One hundred? Holy shit, how many can there be?" Bai Gu's eyes lit up.
"You can relax a little and say more than that."
"One thousand copper coins? That's ten coins! A broken snake scale is worth so much!" Bai Gu had already put the snake scale back into his arms.
"more than."
Bai Gu hesitated for a moment and said, "Grandpa Liu, are you kidding me and teasing me? Isn't it more? Then how much is this piece of crap worth?"
"If you meet someone who knows the goods later and wants to buy, just keep raising your finger. No matter what price the other party offers, you don't have to be surprised. Just shake your head. You must wait until the other party refreshes their bidding limit for the third time before you can nod. Otherwise, you will lose money. As for whether you want to sell to Dr. Wu in the city, you can just ask him to give you a conscientious price." Old Liu Tou put down his bowl and chopsticks and was full, "Oh, by the way, the starting price is Use gold as the unit, otherwise others will think you are fake."
"Yellow...gold?!" Bai Gu was so shocked that his eyes almost fell out.
A copper plate is the smallest currency denomination. One hundred copper plates is one tael of money, one hundred taels of silver is one tael of silver, and one hundred taels of silver is one tael of gold.
In gold... wouldn't that be millions of copper coins? !
This thing is so valuable!
If I had known earlier, I would have picked up more!
Old Liu nodded, "It's a pity that you only have one piece, otherwise it would be worth more."
"What's the meaning?"
"This thing is not something that is rare for thousands of years. It is not something that is rare and valuable. Of course, the more the better. You can think of it as a wheat fruit tree. The more food and fruits it produces, the more profitable it is."
"I understand, we want to sell them as a set, right?" Bai Gu thought for a moment, "Then if there are many, how much will they be worth?"
"If there are two or three pieces, it would be almost... five hundred taels of gold." Old Liu Tou looked at Bai Gu's surprised expression and said, "One piece."
Bai Gu looked at the snake scales in his arms in disbelief, "One piece, five hundred taels of gold?!"
Holy shit, I’m making a lot of money!
Even if he travels all over the world, he still has to find this knowledgeable person, Bai Gu!
At this time, Bai Gu's eyes looked at the snake scales in his arms, and his eyes were so hot that he seemed to be spitting out fire.
These are still snake scales. Isn’t this the treasure that I, Bai Gu, have been protecting to the death? It’s shiny, golden money!
Old Liu Tou's speechless expression was written on his face, "Don't be too happy, kid. You only have one snake scale now, and even if you go to the city, there will probably be very few people who know the goods. So, don't do that night. It’s a wishful thinking of getting rich suddenly.”
"Who said I only have one!" Bai Guoling immediately took out several snake scales from the bag and placed them on the table.
Old Liu Tou took a look and wanted to identify whether they were the scales of the ancient Tuose snake, but when he saw the color of the snake scales clearly, his expression changed, "There are three colors on this snake?"
"Yes, is there any problem?" Bai Gu was a little confused by Old Liu Tou's sudden question, and thought about it carefully, "Oh, by the way, the giant snake's eyes are gray, does this count? ?”
"It doesn't matter. The eyes of the ancient Tuoshe snake are originally gray." Old Liu Tou stared at the snake scales on the table, thoughtfully.
"Is there something wrong with the snake scales?" Now Bai Gu became nervous. But the snake scales in these three colors are worthless! Don't scare me!
Old Liu Tou knew what Bai Gu was thinking and waved his hand, "Don't worry, this thing is still very valuable, even more valuable than what I just said. The three-color Tuoshen ancient snake has become rare."
"How much is it worth?" Bai Gu rubbed his hands excitedly.
"Anyway, the price is higher than what I just said. Besides, you have quite a lot here, so it could be worth more." Old Liu Tou looked at Snake Scales with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Bai Gu grinned and quickly put away some snake scales, leaving three. "Since these snake scales are so valuable, I will go to Mr. Wu first to see if I can exchange them for money! If you accept these three snake scales, treat them as This is a thank you gift for taking such good care of me."
Old Liu Tou pushed Snake Scales back, "Why am I, an old man, keeping these? It's useless. I might as well let you exchange them for money. If you want to thank me, go to the pastry shop in the south of the city and bring them to me when you come back. Just order rice and date cake and come back."
"Okay! Just wait for me!" Bai Gu put away the snake scales, waved to Old Liu Tou, and ran out.
He should have gone to the city to find Mr. Wu.
"This kid..." Old Liu Tou looked at the direction Bai Gu was leaving, smiled and shook his head. As if he thought of something, his smile gradually disappeared and his eyes looked solemnly in one direction.
His eyes were as bright as a torch, and he was worried.
That is the direction of Gu Xuefeng.
