Bai Gu was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Wu, do you believe me if I tell you not?"
Mr. Wu nodded, understanding in his heart, "Is there a place you want to go?"
"Shuangyue Tower, Drum Tower Mountain, Fuhe City." Bai Gu thought for a moment and reported the three names.
Shuangyue Tower is a place that Bai Xiaoxiao once talked about in his dreams, and occasionally mentions it in daily life; Mrs. Bai believed in Buddhism during her lifetime, and Drum Tower Mountain is a place she often talks about; Fuhe City is the home of the little girl Bai Qiu. , Bai Gu wants to help her go home.
When Mr. Wu heard these three names, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "These three places are very far away, and they are all in opposite directions."
Bai Gu nodded, "Drum Tower Mountain is in the south and Fuhe City is in the east. I know this. But I have never even heard of Shuangyue Tower."
"Shuangyue Tower..." Mr. Wu touched his beard on his chin and thought for a moment, "It's probably in the west, quite far away."
Bai Gu was a little helpless, "Mr. Wu, I just thought about it and didn't say that I really wanted to go. Besides, even if I want to go, I have to wait for Xiaoxiao to wake up. If she wants to go, I will go with her. If she doesn’t want to, she can just stay in Yunshui City, it’s the same thing.”
"I'm just talking. After all, the distance is so beautiful. Everyone wants to go there, and I am no exception."
"Then where is Mr. Wu's distant place?" Bai Gu couldn't help but be a little curious.
Mr. Wu smiled slightly and said, "I always have a youthful dream in my heart. Where can't it be a distant place? For me, hometown can be a distant place, and a distant place can also be my hometown."
Bai Gu lowered his head, thoughtfully.
"If there is an exact place, Yunshui City is my far away place." Mr. Wu added.
"So Mr. Wu is not a native of Yunshui City?"
"Well, I come from somewhere else, a very beautiful place called Cheung Chau."
Bai Gu suddenly remembered two things.
The old beggar brought him to see Mr. Wu for the first time, and he recited the sentence "Xia Yi rises from Changzhou, and catkins fall at the street entrance".
And the name of Cheung Chau Pharmacy.
Mr. Wu seemed to know what Bai Gu was thinking, and said with a smile: "Yes, the name of Changzhou Pharmacy is indeed based on my hometown. As for what the old guy said, it is a prophecy that has been circulated in my hometown for a long time. Everyone knows it.”
"So that's it." Bai Gu understood.
Mr. Wu's right hand was hidden in his sleeve, and his thumb gently rubbed his index finger, as if he was hesitating.
Seeing that Mr. Wu was hesitant to speak, Bai Gu couldn't help but curiously said: "Mr. Wu, if you have something to say, just say it directly. It's not good for your health to keep it hidden."
"Xiao Bai, I hope you won't mind what I say next." Mr. Wu's eyes changed, and his originally kind and gentle eyes suddenly became serious and sharp, "If in the future, only one person can live between you and your sister, what will you do? How to choose?"
"I will first earn enough money to prevent Xiaoxiao's future life from being too hard, and then I will die." Bai Gu answered with a smile without a trace of hesitation.
"What if, I mean what if, it was your sister who made a mistake?" Mr. Wu picked up the tea cup and took a sip, but kept his eyes fixed on Bai Gu.
"Then if I die, can I help Xiaoxiao offset my fault? If possible, I will die immediately." Bai Gu said firmly.
"What if it doesn't work?" Mr. Wu asked.
"Then unless you step over my corpse, I won't let Xiaoxiao get any harm."
"But she made a mistake!"
"You are so young, how can you make mistakes? The fault is also my brother's fault, it is none of her fault." Bai Gu smiled brightly, his face full of his brother's doting on his sister.
Mr. Wu took a deep breath and said, "Even if you are the enemy of everyone in the world?"
"Mr. Wu, how can it be so serious?" Looking at Mr. Wu's extremely serious eyes, Bai Gu frowned slightly and gradually put away his smile, "If that time really comes, then there is nothing I can do. After all, in their eyes , Xiaoxiao will undoubtedly die, so no matter how much I do, it will be in vain, a waste of energy, time, and breath. It is better not to do anything. All I can do is to die in front of Xiaoxiao. I can't let Xiaoxiao Die before me!"
"There are right and wrong things. If something is wrong, it is wrong." Mr. Wu shook his head.
Bai Gu thought for a while, and then he finally remembered a sentence he had heard before, "Filial piety comes first among all good deeds, regardless of deeds, and there is no filial son in a poor family. A perfect person. As long as your heart is kind, even if you do something wrong, you still have a chance to correct it, right?"
"But, what if she doesn't have good intentions in the future?"
"Mr. Wu, I said, that is in the future, and it is also her own business. I can't change her mind or how she will be in the future, but at least now I can decide what I should do. She She is my sister, and I am her brother, so I have to protect her. If it is one day, then I will protect her for one day; if it is yes all my life, then I have to protect her for the rest of my life, this is a matter of course!"
"Then, what if she is a demon?" Mr. Wu dropped a bombshell.
Bai Gu's face suddenly changed and he said with a dark face, "Mr. Wu, this joke is not funny!"
Demon clan, this is a legend and a synonym for evil. Whether it's folklore or rumors about monsters, the villains are always demons.
According to legend, the demon tribe has a blood-filled mouth full of fangs, three heads and six arms, two big horns on its head, and backs covered with barbs. They are born with strange strength and commit all kinds of evil, killing, looting, and leaving no grass growing in their path.
It is an extremely evil existence, and it is an existence that is despised by others.
How old is Bai Xiaoxiao?
Moreover, Bai Xiaoxiao is such a cute and good little girl. Even in Lingding Alley, there are a large group of people who like Bai Xiaoxiao for being well-behaved. The old beggar is full of praise for Bai Xiaoxiao and often compares Bai Xiaoxiao's rebelliousness with Bai Xiaoxiao's. Comparison of well-behaved.
How could she be a demon?
How could it be?
Absolutely impossible!
Mr. Wu held down Bai Gu's hand that was clenched into a fist and said hurriedly: "I mean if..."
"There's no such thing! It's not allowed!" Bai Gu's eyes turned red, his voice full of anger.
"Xiao Bai, calm down!" Upon seeing this, Mr. Wu quickly shouted softly.
Bai Gu didn't say anything, just stared at Mr. Wu.
Mr. Wu knew what Bai Gu meant, so he could only smile bitterly and said: "Xiao Bai, I made a mistake. I won't mention such words again in the future, okay?"
Bai Gu then let go of his hand and turned his gaze elsewhere.
Mr. Wu sighed softly.
God knows this kid has such a big reaction. If I had known it, I wouldn't have mentioned it now.
Seeing that Bai Gu still didn't want to speak, Mr. Wu broke the calm and said, "Well, I'll treat you to dumplings as an apology."
Although Bai Gu said he was still angry, the other person was, after all, a well-known and highly respected old doctor, and Bai Xiaoxiao would have to be treated later, so his anger had to be moderate and not go too far. Since the other party had already climbed down the steps, Bai Gu borrowed the donkey's help and nodded, "Okay."
Mr. Wu stood up first and said, "Let's go. I know a restaurant that makes good dumplings. I often go there to eat."
Bai Gu also stood up and followed closely behind.
Mr. Wu smiled.
The old guy is very familiar with this kid, and the methods he teaches are really useful.
If I had known earlier, I would have asked him to teach me more skills.
