Bai Gu returned to Old Liu Tou's house with an expressionless face and sat on the chair numbly.
Brother Peng exclaimed, "Didn't I tell you last night that you should bring some quilts and coats back today? Why did you come back empty-handed?"
Bai Gu didn't speak, he lowered his head and looked at the tips of his shoes.
Brother Peng sat next to Bai Gu, "I asked you something, why don't you answer it?"
Bai Gu still didn't speak, nor did he raise his head.
Brother Peng was a little angry. He was about to reprimand Bai Gu, but he was hit on the head by a piece of licorice. Old Liu Tou's somewhat annoyed voice followed, "Run away when you're hurt, go back to the bed and lie down." !”
Brother Peng was instantly discouraged.
He looked at Bai Gu, who had his head drooped and said nothing, and then at Old Liu Tou, who was invisible in the back room and could only hear his voice. After making repeated decisions, he had no choice but to go back to the wooden bed and lie down.
It's a small matter for Bai Gu to ignore people, but it's a big deal for Lao Liutou to be angry.
When Brother Peng lay back on the bed, Lao Liutou's voice came out again, "Xiao Bai, don't be in a hurry with your quilts and cotton clothes. Take your time. This winter is cold. There is no way to change this. We just have to deal with it actively." . I definitely have to buy quilts and cotton-padded clothes. It will happen sooner or later. It would be tiring to buy them all at once now. It’s up to you to make your own arrangements."
Bai Gu slowly raised his head, thoughtfully.
After a long time, he struggled to spit out a syllable from his mouth, "Okay."
Bai Gu slowly stood up, walked out of Lao Liutou's house, walked in Lingding Lane, and returned to his home.

"Trash! You can't even beat a poor boy, what's the use of raising you!" A blue and white porcelain vase flew out of the door and fell into pieces in the courtyard.
There were more than a dozen people kneeling in the courtyard, their auras surging, they were all cultivators!
It's just that they, who should have been free and at ease, are all kneeling down in the courtyard at this moment, just because their master is angry.
Seeing the porcelain bottle worth ten thousand taels of gold being smashed, everyone present was a little frightened, but they all kept silent for fear of offending their master.
A middle-aged man standing in the corridor understood the situation and had a certain identity, so he was not afraid of being scolded. "Master, the person they killed this time was not the poor boy, but his companion who lived in the same alley. There was a strong man in there. I heard that his cultivation level was not low, so he killed Lao Yu and the other two."
"Oh? How can such a person exist in such a shabby place?" The person in the room suddenly became interested, "He can fight one against two, and he can also kill two people. It seems that his cultivation level is indeed not low, and he is a ruthless character."
The middle-aged man heard what the person in the room meant, "Young master, you want to recruit that man?"
"Well, I feel that being a thug is not bad." The person in the room seemed to stretch his body, "Let's send a few people to talk about it. It's best if they agree. If they don't agree, just kill him. As for the poor boy, just find someone at random. Let’s deal with it and let’s end this matter.”
"Yes." The middle-aged man retreated, presumably to arrange for manpower.

Bai Gu went to Changzhou Pharmacy to visit Bai Xiaoxiao as usual today. He chatted with Xiao Xi and Andu who were on duty for a while, and then left.
I still have to make an appointment with Nanyu.
Bai Gu rubbed his head. It was a big headache just thinking about getting along with an unfamiliar person. He was still a girl.
If I had known, I wouldn't have mentioned that thing yesterday.
The Chenghuang Temple Fair only lasts two days a year, so even though it was already noon on the second day, Xiaoshan Street was still crowded with people.
Bai Gu found a stall, bought a bowl of tofu bread, squatted on the roadside and started eating.
Mmm, it’s sweet, so good!
Just after finishing his meal, Bai Gu saw Nan Yu from a distance among the crowd.
Bai Gu has his own way of recognizing people. He can recognize an acquaintance by looking at their back, hairstyle, clothes, shoes, or even just a pair of eyes.
For example, Bai Gu could see an old beggar squatting under a pillar counting money from half a street away.
Bai Gu recognized Nan Yu based on her... not too tall height and her round face that loved to smile.
Well, it's easy to recognize.
Bai Gu stood on tiptoes, jumped up and waved vigorously towards Nan Yu.
There is no way, my height is a flaw.
Without jumping a few times, Bai Gu was afraid that both parties would not be able to see each other...
Nan Yu quickly came to Bai Gu's side.
Nan Yu was wearing a blue coat and a pink and white short coat today, and he looked very lively.
Bai Gu rubbed his hands and said, "Nan Yu, have you eaten? Do you want a bowl of tofu brain to cushion your stomach?"
"No need, I ate before going out and I'm still a little full now." Nan Yu replied with a smile.
Bai Gu smiled and said, "That's right. Let's go and see what fun there is at the temple fair."
After yesterday, Bai Gu no longer believed anything the girl said about being full.
Who knows how many more snacks I can eat?
The temple fair was crowded with people, and the sounds of selling, bargaining, and talking were intertwined, but most of them were curses.
Someone got angry when someone was stepped on on the street, someone got anxious when he was bargaining in front of a vendor, the businessman Quejinshaoliang was discovered, the storyteller told the wrong story...
Bai Gu saw a seller selling candied haws-alababs not far ahead, and he remembered the candied haws-alonged haws skewers that Nan Yu had invited him to eat yesterday.
It tastes pretty good, I might as well buy two skewers.
Just as he was about to turn around and talk to Nan Yu, Bai Gu was hit by a big man and almost flew out. Fortunately, there were many people at the temple fair, so Bai Gu just bumped into others and stood firm.
Bai Gu quickly apologized to the uncle he bumped into.
Turning around, Bai Gu was stunned for a moment.
The big man has long since disappeared, and so has Nan Yu!
not good! It's that big guy!
Bai Gu hurriedly chased in the direction where the big man was walking. He didn't care about the large number of people at the temple fair and his usual politeness and humility. Bai Gu lowered his head, like a small fish running rampant in the crowd.
There is only one thought in his mind now.
Nothing can happen to Nanyu!
After all, she came out to play with him, and she was still a man, so she should protect Nan Yu's safety!
Bai Gu quickly rushed out of Xiaoshan Street. Although there were not more people on the street than at the temple fair, there was still an endless stream.
Bai Gu quickly asked the people around him and roughly described the physical characteristics of Nanyu and Dahan, but found nothing.
Bai Gu stood there a little dejectedly, at a loss.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he immediately ran towards the north gate.
If it is a kidnapping, then the big man will definitely not go to a crowded place, which means he will not run into the city. Then, he has only one escape direction.
That is the North City Gate closest to the temple fair!
After leaving Yunshui City, there were not only fewer people, but also a wider area, so there were more directions for running.
There is only a straight path outside the North City Gate, without forks, leading directly to other places. Moreover, there are rugged and rocky areas on both sides of the road. If you want to run away, you can only go faster by taking the trail.
Bai Gu ran wildly along the trail, even if the snow reached his ankles, it still did not affect his speed.
Just kidding, when I was being chased by the Tuoshe Ancient Snake, I could run very fast even if the snow covered my calves. With so little snow, who am I looking down on?
After running wildly for almost half an hour, Bai Gu finally saw a big man sitting leisurely on a stone with his eyes closed and meditating under a tree not far away.
And on a stone next to it, Nan Yu, who had already passed out, was lying.
Bai Gu was overjoyed.
found it!
