Bai Gu put his hands in his sleeves and narrowed his eyes slightly, "Before I take action, I advise you to get out of here. It's good for you and me."
The young Taoist suddenly bent down and put his face close to Bai Gu, "Do you want to know where the old guy went?"
Bai Gu looked up at the young Taoist's face that made him inexplicably disgusted. He thought silently for a while, and finally reached out his hand and slapped the young Taoist hard.
I told you to get out of here right away, didn’t I just want to see you? Not only did he not leave, but he also turned his face towards me. Isn't this asking for a beating?
A slap is considered light.
"Oh, what are you doing!" The young Taoist said bitterly, covering the left side of his face.
"You like to talk or not, but if you don't, get out of here."
The young Taoist looked aggrieved and sat next to Bai Gu like an angry little daughter-in-law.
It's just about a few meters away.
"An old friend of the old man passed away and he went to express his condolences." The young Taoist covered his left face with one hand and gently patted the snow off the hem of his Taoist robe with the other hand.
The snow is really heavy today. Isn’t it just the beginning of winter? Why is it snowing so heavily? I'm afraid it won't be as cold as usual this year.
I need to buy more cotton-padded clothes.
"Is it important to the old guy?"
Old friend? I haven't heard the old guy mention it before, but this bastard can't joke about this kind of thing, right?
Although it is possible.
This kind of person deserves a beating.
"How should I put it? It's similar to your relationship with Xiaoxiao. You can understand it."
Bai Gu glared at the young Taoist, "Don't call my sister's name randomly, she's not familiar with you."
The young Taoist touched his nose and smiled awkwardly.
"far away?"
"Ah?" The young Taoist didn't react for a moment.
"The old guy went far away?" Bai Gu said helplessly.
"Oh, that's true. For you, it's very far, and not that far." The young Taoist thought for a moment, as if considering the distance between the two places.
"For me?" Bai Gu murmured doubtfully.
The little girl interrupted at this time, "Uncle, where did grandpa go? Maybe I've heard of it."
The young Taoist immediately stood up, trotted away, and sat next to the little girl, "The old guy went to Dongyang City. Xiao Baiqiu, you must have heard of it, right? I remember mentioning it to you before."
"I remember, and I've heard of Dongyang City before. It's close to the seaside. I heard others say the sunrise is beautiful! I'd like to see it if I have the chance."
As soon as these words came out, even a young Taoist with a loose mind could not help but fall silent for a while.
A blind man wants to see the sunrise?
What a ridiculous and pathetic fantasy.
How is this different from ice on a soldering iron?
Bai Gu glared at the young Taoist fiercely again, warning him to stay away from the little girl, but his tone was unusually gentle, "Xiao Qiu, where is Dongyang City? Is it really far away from here?"
The young Taoist curled his lips. Sure enough, he still couldn't trust the poor Taoist.
"I don't know. I just heard that among the six cities facing the sea in the east, Dongyang City has the most beautiful sunrises and the richest products. The city owner is a handsome man of his generation, with unparalleled charm. When he was young, he was a famous genius boy far and wide!"
East? Linhai?
"Then where does our Yunshui City belong?"
"Yunshui City..." The little girl thought seriously for a while, "It should be in the west, right?"
"To be precise, the west is close to the sea." The young Taoist added.
"Yunshui City? Linhai?"
There are mountains around here, where is the sea?
Who are you lying to?
The young Taoist pointed to the west, "Go this way, go over the two big mountains of Dawu Mountain and Jishu Peak, and then go over a small mountain range, and there will be a large plain behind it. You may pass through one or two small towns, and you can reach it." I saw the sea.”
"So far?!" Bai Gu's eyes widened.
"Do you think that Yunshui City is right next to the sea outside the city gate? Compared with the cities in the middle, Yunshui City is close to the sea." The young Taoist rolled his eyes.
Bai Gu snorted slightly and didn't answer.
He didn't know much about this geographical information, so he made many mistakes, and he was too lazy to argue with this charlatan.
"Yunshui City is near the sea in the west, and Dongyang City is near the sea in the east. Oh, that's really far away." The little girl waved her fingers and calculated the distance seriously.
"It's just that the statement that Yunshuicheng is close to the sea is still not very accurate." The young Taoist dug up a handful of snow on the ground with his hands and piled it in one place. "As the old saying goes, the sun rises over the East China Sea and dusk over the Western Mountains. Whether it's from the fate of the sky, In terms of terrain, this is right.”
"In other words, Yunshuicheng is still the backer?" Bai Gu was a little confused.
"Practically speaking, that's the case. After all, the sea over there is not really a sea." As he said that, the young Taoist glanced to the west.
"Is the sea over there very small?"
The young Taoist was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly and said, "When you have a chance in the future, you can go and see for yourself and you will know."
Bai Gu grabbed a ball of snow and threw it towards the young Taoist.
The young Taoist jumped to avoid the snowballs, then moved his buttocks and sat back down, "As far as the terrain is concerned, the west is higher and the east is lower. And there is an old saying that water flows to lower places. Naturally, the water in the world will move towards It gathers in the east, and finally the sea accepts hundreds of rivers and merges into the East China Sea. Therefore, there are many rivers in the east and many hills in the west."
"Where's that luck? What's that?"
The young Taoist couldn't help but glance at Bai Gu. It's true that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. Those who don't know are not guilty.
He took a deep breath and said, "To put it simply, the sun in the sky rises in the east and sets in the west, driving the wind in this world to the west. The wind in turn drives the dust. Over time, most of the sand and dust in the east are blown away. The wind 'migrated' to the west and piled up into high peaks and mountains. Combined with the fate and the terrain, it is correct to face the sea in the east and the mountains in the west."
"Then how did you know?" Bai Gu looked at the young Taoist, his eyes full of suspicion.
Well, I still don’t believe Pindao.
What about the trust between people?
The young Taoist looked aggrieved and said, "Read more books and take more steps and you will know. It's such a simple thing."
Bai Gu was speechless and turned his head to the side.
When she was a child, Mrs. Bai wanted Ding Bo, the only scholar in Lingding Alley, to teach Bai Gu how to read and write, so that Bai Gu would not be able to read a single word when he was older.
But Bai Gu was still young at that time, he was playful and liked to run around, and he had no intention of studying at all. I just went to Ding Bo's house for one afternoon and never went back.
Old Mrs. Bai didn't force it, she just let Bai Gu play and let Uncle Ding teach him when he wanted to study.
Later, when Mrs. Bai passed away, Bai Gu was the only child left in the family. He worked hard and worked hard for food every day, so how could he still have time to study?
Later, Bai Gu took Bai Xiaoxiao in, and his life became even more embarrassing. Even Bai Xiaoxiao sometimes couldn't eat, let alone Bai Gu? In this case, reading? Can it be eaten as a meal? If it could be used as food, Bai Gu would definitely be the first to rush up and take a few books home to eat with Bai Xiaoxiao without hesitation.
Besides, studying costs money.
The money for books, the teacher’s remuneration, and the school tuition, aren’t these all money?
How could two little guys who were about to starve to death have any thought or time to study?
Just to live, you have to do your best to persevere, and there is no energy left to do or think about other things.
As for going out for a walk?
Do you want to starve to death on the road to a foreign country?
If this is the case, Bai Gu would rather die in Lingding Lane, Bai's house, or in front of Mrs. Bai's grave.
In this way, at least Ye Luo can return to his roots, and he can always be with Old Mrs. Bai.
Therefore, Bai Gu's current knowledge all comes from the words of people around him and the storytellers of Yitang. The farthest place he has traveled is only Baijiuwu, which is slightly farther than the old Xuefeng.
But now.
After selling the scales of the ancient Tuose snake, Bai Gu had thirty thousand taels of gold.
Got money.
It’s different.
Now Bai Gu just wants to heal Bai Xiaoxiao's injury quickly and wake up early, so that his money can be put to use.
Buy a big house for Xiaoxiao, buy delicious food for Xiaoxiao, and buy thick clothes and quilt for Xiaoxiao.
Hehe, I feel happy just thinking about it.
As for whether Xiaoxiao wants to go to a book school or not, that's up to her, and she won't force it.
When it comes to reading, now that I'm this age, I don't have to mess around with it anymore. At most, I can just buy a few strange novels and read them.
Occasionally I go to the Ant Hall to listen to a few story-telling sessions. Tsk tsk tsk, life is like this, I am satisfied!
The little girl poked Bai Gu with her finger, "Brother Bai, my home seems to be not far from Dongyang City. If you go to Dongyang City to find grandpa in the future, can you take me with you? If my parents haven't come back by then." "
Bai Gu sorted out his thoughts, put on a warm smile on his face, stretched out a hand to touch the little girl's head, "Okay, then I'll have to rely on Xiaoqiu to guide me. I don't know you, Brother Bai." road."
"Okay, okay, I'll take care of this!" The little girl smiled and narrowed her eyes, like two crescent moons.
The young Taoist ran between Bai Gu and the little girl, stretched out his head, and smiled, "Then take Pindao with you. Pindao also knows the road, and he knows many people. Maybe he can save a lot along the way." Where’s the money?”
Bai Gu turned his head and glared at the young Taoist. The latter shrank his neck in fright, thinking that Bai Gu was going to hit him again.
"I'm afraid most of them are enemies. I don't want to be implicated and be chased and chopped by a bunch of people." Bai Gu put the oil paper bag away and planned to throw it away when he left.
Littering is bad, so don't bother those snow plows on the streets. People are already very tired from work every day, so it is not good to cause them more trouble.
It’s just something that requires little effort, and it can reduce the burden on others, so why not do it?
"Who, who said that! How could it be? Although there are good and bad reputations, the reputation of the poor Taoist is still good, not that bad!" The young Taoist was a little angry.
"It's not that bad? Does that mean it's not that good?"
"Xiao Baigu, I'm telling you, don't imitate the old guy blindly, that bad old man is very bad!"
Bai Gu ignored the young Taoist and took out a few coins from his arms and put them in the little girl's hands, "Xiao Qiu, take these coins. If you feel really hungry, take them and exchange them with passers-by. Yes. It's too cold. You should be careful here alone and take care of yourself."
"Okay!" The little girl smiled and put away the copper plate.
Bai Gu glared at the young Taoist again, who was staring at the little girl's hand that had just put away the copper plate, his eyes almost falling out.
Bai Gu pointed at the young Taoist and warned him not to go too far.
The latter grinned and said, "Pin Dao is leaving first, Xiao Baigu, Xiao Bai, please don't miss Pin Dao too much."
With that said, the young Taoist raised his hands, stood up and strode away.
Bai Gu spat at the figure of the young Taoist, and then touched the little girl's head, "Then I'll leave first, please be careful alone."
"Uh-huh."
Bai Gu slowly stood up and walked back.
The heavy snow soon submerged Bai Gu's figure.
The little girl stretched and was ready to go back to the tree nest under the banyan tree to rest.
At this time, a voice came into the little girl's ears, and it was a very familiar and mean feeling.
"Xiao Bai, please, do you want a hexagram? It's very effective..."
