Bai Gu turned his head and saw only a young Taoist wearing gray and blue Taoist robes, holding a long flag and wearing two small mustaches.
There are also eight characters written on the long banner: "Ask for divination and fortune-telling, be happy and know your fate."
Bai Gu frowned slightly, "Why are you here?"
"Oh, little Bai Gu, why are you talking like this? Who is following the other between us, right?" The young Taoist came to Bai Gu's side and put his arms around Bai Gu's shoulders, looking affectionate.
Bai Gu twitched the corner of his mouth, slowly pushed away the young Taoist's face with one hand, and said with disgust: "Go away, I'm not familiar with you."
The young Taoist couldn't get closer on the road, so he moved his seat and moved his buttocks to Bai Gu's, and even rubbed them against each other on purpose. "You talk like that, it hurts people's hearts. You're so heartless!"
Bai Gu tightened his fist on the other hand and took a deep breath, "I'll just count to three and get out of here, or I'll do it. One..."
The young Taoist took a quick step and immediately stood two hands away from Bai Gu. He stood up straight, straighter than the long flag pole in his hand, and his face was full of justice.
At this moment, a gust of breeze blew, lifting the corners of the young Taoist's Taoist robes, giving him a somewhat immortal air.
He was even tricked.
Bai Gu secretly cursed in his heart and couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"You know the truth."
"Hey, little Bai Gu, we have known each other for many years, so don't do this." Like a shy lady, the young Taoist waved his orchid-shaped hand towards Bai Gu.
"Fuck you!" Bai Gu grabbed a ball of snow on the ground, threw it towards the young Taoist, and said angrily: "You still have the nerve to say it! I was defrauded of so much money by you back then, and I don't think I've beaten you to death. Kindhearted!"
Bai Gu's temper suddenly rose, and he cursed in a hurry.
——————
That was not long after Mrs. Bai passed away, and Bai Xiaoxiao had not yet come to the Bai family, so Bai Gu, who was less than ten years old, was left alone in the family.
In the environment of Lingding Alley, surrounded by wolves, the existence of Old Mrs. Bai is like a pass, tightly locking the evil thoughts in the hearts of people in Lingding Alley, preventing them from escaping at all. The departure of Mrs. Bai is equivalent to opening this pass, and the evil thoughts that have been accumulated for many years will burst out from people's hearts like a flood, submerging the entire Lingding Lane.
Naturally, the Bai family, which had just lost Mrs. Bai and had only one child under ten years old, became a piece of extremely delicious fat in the eyes of the people in Lingding Alley. Everyone wants to take a bite or even devour it all to themselves.
At that time, Bai Gu, who was fashionable and young, had no power to restrain himself. He could only watch helplessly as those demon-like adults poured into his home and moved away every valuable and daily-use object in his home. , leaving only a mess, a dilapidated wooden bed that was too big to move, and the helpless young Bai Gu.
It happened that Mrs. Bai had just passed away. He had grown up beside Mrs. Bai. He didn't know many things yet. He didn't know what he could do or where he could go, so he could only sit on the threshold blankly, holding his hands tightly. Hug your knees.
It wasn't until sunset that Brother Peng, who had joined Qian Mosi not long ago, happened to pass by and found Xiao Baigu sitting at the door with a lost look on his face.
After understanding what happened, Brother Peng was furious. He stood up and wanted to drag Bai Gu to find those bastards, ask them to return the things one by one, and ask them to apologize to Bai Gu one by one.
But Bai Gu grabbed Brother Peng's hand with his backhand, shook his head unusually calmly, and asked Brother Peng to forget about this incident. It would be best to pretend that it never happened, never saw it, and never heard about it.
Brother Peng was very surprised. When he was about to say something more, Bai Gu had already walked into the house and closed the door.
Brother Peng stood at the door and pondered for a while, then left without saying anything else.
But not long after, Brother Peng became a team leader in Qianmo Division, responsible for the management of security in Lingding Lane and several nearby alleys.
Bai Gu and Brother Peng had a tacit understanding and did not mention this matter again, but they both left a thorn in each other's hearts.
From then on, Bai Gu began to frequently go in and out of Yunshui City in search of some opportunities or money in exchange for some food to survive.
It was at this time that Bai Gu met the young Taoist. Just because of the young Taoist's words, "The poor Taoist's hexagrams are full of strategies, and there are no gaps in the poor Taoist's fortunes", Bai Gu stopped.
Under the young Taoist's sweet talk, Bai Gu gave him all his belongings - three copper coins, just to ask for a lottery.
I pray that Mrs. Bai’s soul will pass away safely and be reincarnated successfully.
The young Taoist asked Mrs. Bai her date of birth and name. After being a little surprised, he started counting with his fingers.
Finally, the young Taoist gave Bai Gu a stack of yellow paper and a piece of talisman paper covered with crooked lines. He asked Bai Gu to burn half of the yellow paper first, and then burn the remaining yellow paper with the talisman at the same time the next day. Once the paper is burned, Mrs. Bai's soul can be reincarnated safely.
Bai Gu was convinced at that time. As soon as he left Yunshuicheng, he went straight to Mrs. Bai's grave, took out half of the yellow paper and burned it. The next day, he didn't even go to Yunshuicheng to find food. He just sat in front of Mrs. Bai's grave. When it was almost sunset, I took out the remaining yellow paper talismans and burned them.
After the burning, Gu Gu kowtowed in front of Mrs. Bai's grave. His forehead was bleeding from the blow, but he didn't care. After kowtowing a hundred times, Bai Gu was willing to get up and leave.
In order to comply with the young Taoist's instructions, Bai Gu was hungry for two days.
On the third day, when Bai Gu dragged his tired and weak body to Yunshui City to thank the young Taoist, he found that the young Taoist was sitting in a wine shop drinking, chatting seriously with a companion next to him. joyous.
That companion was the old beggar.
Just listen to the young Taoist saying: "You don't know, a few days ago, there was a silly boy who wanted to pray for the peace of his grandma who had just died, saying that he was afraid that his grandma would not be able to reincarnate safely. Hahaha, I laughed to death. How could there be such a stupid guy in this world? He just dies when he dies, so what? Ghosts can go back to the underworld no matter what, and there is no need for me to give them away. This stupid boy gave me three coins for free!"
The old beggar raised his hand and said, "You can do such an immoral thing. You are really not a human being."
"Hey, if you have the guts, don't drink this wine. That stupid boy's three coins are right here."
"You bought me a drink, why don't I drink it? You are the only one who feels guilty, it's none of my business! If you don't drink, it's all for nothing!"
"You old thing, you're acting like a rogue, aren't you! Come on, come on, give me one drink, one drink..."
"..."
Listening to the conversation between the young Taoist and the old beggar, Bai Gu felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. His whole body could not help but tremble. His eyes were red, and he bit his lips tightly, bleeding without realizing it.
He didn't care that the young Taoist laughed at him for being a stupid boy, nor did he care that the three copper coins were given to the young Taoist for nothing.
He doesn't care about any of this.
However, he actually dismissed grandma's matter, and even said that people die when they die, what the hell.
Just die?
What's this?
Bai Gu's hands gradually clenched into fists, and his eyes were as bright as a torch, staring at the young Taoist not far away.
Bai Gu casually grabbed a stone at his feet and walked slowly into the young Taoist.
The closer he got to the young Taoist, the more Bai Gu's heart trembled, and the pace under his feet became faster and faster, and in the end he started running directly.
When he was only a few steps away from the young Taoist, Bai Gu kicked hard, jumped up, held the stone and hit the young Taoist on the back of the head.
Fortunately, the old beggar had sharp eyesight and quickly shouted for the young Taoist to get out of the way. The latter didn't know what happened, but subconsciously raised his hand to block, causing Bai Gu's blow to miss. Bai Gu hit the young Taoist's arm with most of his force, and only touched the back of his head lightly.
The young Taoist was knocked to the ground by Bai Gu's blow, covering his arms and wailing.
The old beggar ran over quickly and helped the young Taoist up.
When the two of them saw the person clearly, they couldn't help but be surprised.
The old beggar was shocked by Bai Gu's current state.
Bai Gu was now hunched over, trembling all over, with disheveled hair, but his eyes were red and bloodshot, and he was panting heavily, like a ferocious little beast.
There was a pure aura about him that locked onto the young Taoist.
Killing intent!
It was a pure killing intention that had nothing to do with good or evil!
It's a murderous intention transformed from extreme anger!
Just because he was so contemptuous of grandma's death!
How could he? !
The young Taoist was shocked, why did this kid come here?
But more than anything, it was a guilty conscience.
It is indeed a shame to defraud such a young child out of his money.
But this guy suddenly hit me like this, so that should be enough, right?
The young Taoist stood up with a grin on his face and bruises on his arms.
Bai Gu was still young at the time and didn't have much strength. He hadn't eaten for two days in a row and could barely walk, so he didn't have much strength left.
The attack on the young Taoist was entirely based on inertia.
Of course it wasn't hit hard.
The old beggar looked at the young Taoist's expression and then at Bai Gu's appearance, and then he understood who Bai Gu was.
It turned out to be the stupid boy who was deceived.
This bastard deserves it!
The old beggar quickly reconciled, "Little brother, this friend of mine is unkind and cheated you of your money. I'm sorry, I'll let him pay you back."
As he said that, he pulled the young Taoist and winked.
"What are you doing? Ask for fortune-telling. He will give you money, and the poor Taoist will give you something, and the deal will be done. It's a matter of course, how can you still get the money back?" The young Taoist looked reluctant.
"You're going to die! You cheated such a young kid out of his money, your conscience will be eaten by a dog!"
"Fuck you, you said it so nicely, why don't you give me the money? Just give it to me!"
"Hey, you were the one who defrauded people of their money, not me. Why should I give you the money? You stinky stickman, pay back the money quickly, or you will die on the roadside without knowing why!"
"Bah, bah, bah! What are you talking about, you bad old man! You're the only one who's dead! Bah!"
"I am advising you with good intentions, but your ungrateful good intentions are regarded as a donkey's liver and lungs! You deserve to be beaten!"
"You damn old man..."
"..."
Seeing that the two of them were arguing for no reason, Bai Gu suppressed the turbulent emotions in his heart and shouted hoarsely, "That's enough!"
The two of them were stunned, stopped talking, and looked at Bai Gu together.
"I don't want that money anymore, but you," Bai Gu pointed at the young Taoist priest and shouted word by word: "You must go and apologize to my grandma!"
The young Taoist was startled for a moment, then laughed loudly, "Apologise? Okay, okay, I'm not good at anything, so I can do best by admitting my mistakes and apologizing!"
Bai Gu glared at the young Taoist, but said nothing and just turned around and left angrily.
The old beggar grabbed the young Taoist and said, "Why are you still standing there? Follow me."
"I know, I know, don't rush me." The young Taoist curled his lips and didn't know what he was mumbling.
Bai Gu brought the two of them to Mrs. Bai's grave and kicked the young Taoist on the back of his knees. The latter's legs weakened and he knelt down.
The young Taoist looked back at Bai Gu in disbelief, but received a slap from Bai Gu, "Kneel down!"
"Hey, no, aren't you here to apologize? Why..."
Before the young Taoist finished speaking, he was kicked on the back again.
"Kneel down!" Bai Gu quickly stepped forward, directly grabbed the bun on the young Taoist's head, and pressed the young Taoist's head to the ground again and again to kowtow.
His face was full of ferocity.
Before the young Taoist could react, he had already eaten a mouthful of dirt, and his forehead was bruised and bloody.
The old beggar quickly stepped forward and grabbed Bai Gu. If he kept knocking, something would really happen!
"Little brother, don't press it anymore, or you may die if you press it again."
If the magic stick is really going to attack, this little guy may not be able to withstand it.
That magic stick is an adult no matter what, how can a little guy resist?
Bai Gu also calmed down a bit, and let go of the young Taoist's bun, "It's okay if you don't kowtow. I'll kneel for three more days."
The young Taoist shouted in horror, "You brat, don't go too far!"
The old beggar covered the young Taoist's mouth, and the latter began to struggle wildly, "Okay, okay, three days is all, and today is the first day."
Bai Gu nodded and sat down in front of Mrs. Bai's grave. His red eyes stared at the kneeling young Taoist to prevent him from escaping.
The old beggar whispered a few words in the young Taoist's ear, and the latter calmed down, flattened his mouth, and knelt down reluctantly.
The old beggar laughed and said: "Don't worry, little brother, he won't run away. I will stay and watch him together."
Bai Gu didn't respond, still staring at the young Taoist.
The old beggar had no choice but to find a more comfortable place and lie down. He reached out and randomly picked up a piece of dogtail grass, held it in his mouth, and hummed an unknown ditty.
In this way, Bai Gu sat for three days, the old beggar lay down for three days, and the young Taoist knelt for three days.
Three people, three postures, they stayed like this for three days.
Even after kneeling for three days, Bai Gu's red eyes were still staring at the young Taoist, and the killing intent in his eyes had not diminished at all.
Despite this, Bai Gu still let the two of them leave. After all, I have already promised to kneel down for three days, and the other party has already done it. It would be wrong for me to continue to pester him.
The old beggar helped the young Taoist who was limping and staggered away.
Bai Gu was still sitting where he was, with his head lowered and silent.
——————
The young Taoist laughed dryly and said with a guilty conscience: "Three copper coins aren't too much, are they...?"
Bai Gu sneered, "How old was I back then? Three copper coins, wasn't that much? Besides, I didn't hit you because of this. After all these years, you still haven't figured it out?"
The young Taoist looked up at the sky and tried to change the subject, "The weather is nice today. It's snowing. Well, it's pretty good."
"The old guy is right. Not only was your conscience eaten by the dog, but your brain was also packed into the dog's mouth!"
"Hey, little Baigu, don't imitate that old guy! That old guy is not a good person. Heed Pindao's advice, don't imitate, you will be led astray by him." The young Taoist said seriously.
Bai Gu rolled his eyes, "The old guy is not very serious, but you are not a good person either. Don't be a turtle here and scold the bastard."
The young Taoist choked on his words for a moment.
The little girl beside her couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Bai Gu added another blow, "Isn't this a fact?"
