When Bai Gu walked into Old Liu Tou's house with several large and small packages, Brother Peng couldn't help but be a little surprised and said: "You came back so early today? It's not even noon yet."
Bai Gu didn't speak, he just walked into the back room silently, put the things on the table, and then lost his mind and slumped down on the chair.
Brother Peng frowned, walked over quickly, frowned and asked, "Xiao Bai, what's wrong with you? What happened?"
Bai Gu still didn't speak.
Brother Peng was anxious, "Oh, Xiaobai, you should say something!"
"Shut up! Leave me alone!" Old Liu Tou came over and slapped Brother Peng on the back of the head. Then he turned to Bai Gu, his voice softened a lot, and he grabbed Bai Gu's hand with a pair of old big hands. , "Xiaobai, calm down, I'm Grandpa Liu. Tell me, is something wrong with Xiaoxiao? All you need to do is nod or shake your head."
Bai Gu raised his head blankly, his eyes staring straight at Old Liu Tou, as if there was only a blank space in front of him.
Old Liu Tou didn't say anything anymore, he just frowned and responded to Bai Gu's gaze.
Silent for a long time.
There was a long silence.
Bai Gu's lips trembled slightly, and two lines of tears suddenly rolled down from his eyes. From then on, he couldn't control it, and the tears kept flowing.
Bai Gu didn't speak, and couldn't pronounce a syllable, as if it was stuck in his throat.
Just shed tears.
Lao Liutou frowned even more, and seemed to already know the answer in his heart, so he patted the back of Bai Gu's hand gently.
Bai Gu shook his head while crying, but said nothing.
Brother Peng was watching anxiously from the side. Just as he was about to speak, Old Liu Tou gave him a stern look that made him stop talking. He had to sit back in his original position angrily.
I don't dare to have any ideas at all.
Bai Gu slowly lowered his head, almost burying it in the clothes on his chest.
Waves of sobs shook out like threads from Bai Gu's twitching shoulders and fell to the ground.
No matter how slow Brother Peng is, he still knows what happened at this time.
He stood up suddenly and started to walk out.
"If you walk out of this door today, don't come back to Lingding Alley!" Old Liu Tou's cold voice came from behind Brother Peng.
Brother Peng turned to look at Lao Liutou and said urgently, "Something happened to Xiao Xiao, can I just sit back and watch?"
Old Liu Tou looked cold, "Either you sit down now, or you pack your things and get out of Lingding Alley!"
Brother Peng was in a dilemma for a moment and froze on the spot.
At this time, Bai Guweng's voice slowly came out, "Grandpa Liu, a little secret disease has broken out. Her body is covered with frost. She looks so painful and cold. What should I do? What should I do? I I don’t know what I can do? Grandpa Liu, tell me how to save Xiaoxiao, what can I do? Grandpa Liu!”
Bai Gu raised his head, and grabbed Lao Liu's head with his thin, yellow hands with bulging veins. His face, which was no bigger than a palm, was covered with tears and snot.
Old Liu pursed his lips and slowly closed his pair of cloudy old eyes.
Bai Gu stopped crying and was not in the mood to wipe the tears and snot from his face until they reached his chin. He just looked at Old Liu Tou helplessly, waiting for him to give him a good idea.
Brother Peng stood by the table and did not dare to disturb him.
After a long time, Old Liu Tou slowly opened his eyes and sighed, "I can't think of any solution."
The light in Bai Gu's eyes suddenly went out.
Brother Peng always felt that his throat was extremely dry. He swallowed hard and said, "Mr. Liu, is there really nothing we can do?"
Old Liu shook his head and said, "After all these years, if there is a way, I won't just use some heresy to suppress it. Now that it breaks out, I have no way."
"Mr. Wu said that you can use the Wanghai Stone." Bai Gu's voice was weak, as if his soul had been taken away.
Old Liu Tou thought for a while, "Wanghaishi, it's not impossible. It will be much easier to find the root cause of the disease."
"But it's not available in Cheung Chau Pharmacy. I need to find it, otherwise Xiaoxiao will be taken to another place, and Xiaoxiao can only go there alone. I can't go with him."
Old Liu Tou frowned, "Other places? Did Dr. Wu say that?"
Bai Gu shook his head, "It's not Mr. Wu, it's another distinguished guest invited by Mr. Wu, Mr. Jiang Fengmianjiang, who has research on difficult and complicated diseases."
Old Liu Tou looked astonished, "If it's him, then maybe Xiaoxiao can be cured. But the journey is far away. Once we go, we don't know when we can see Xiaoxiao again."
Bai Gu's face was expressionless, he didn't know what he was thinking.
Lao Liutou patted Bai Gu on the shoulder, took out a few pieces of paper and helped Bai Gu wipe the dirt on his face, "Xiao Bai, I know this is a difficult choice, but you have to know that in life, everything will be done. There are reunions and separations, and no one can stay with you for a long time. Of course, the destined people will meet again. No matter what decision you make in the end, I will support you."
Brother Peng quickly echoed: "Me too."
Bai Gu raised his head and looked at Old Liu Tou and Brother Peng, "I want to go to Gu Xuefeng."
A trace of surprise flashed in Lao Liutou's eyes, but he still nodded, "Go, pay attention to safety, and come back early."
Bai Gu looked at Brother Peng again.
Brother Peng nodded.
Bai Gu grabbed two of the packages on the table and went out in the wind and snow.
Only then did Brother Peng dare to ask: "Mr. Liu, Xiaoxiao..."
Lao Liu raised his hand to interrupt Brother Peng, "Don't worry about Xiaoxiao, I won't let anything happen to her."
Old Liu Tou raised his head and looked in the direction of Yunshuicheng, with a sinister look in his eyes.
Old man Wu, if you dare to cause problems for Xiao Xiaozhi, you won't be able to stay in Yunshuicheng!
If you make Xiaobai Xiaoxiao feel uncomfortable, then you can’t even think about getting better!

There was a continuous drizzle between the sky and the earth, and a sword light suddenly lit up. A middle-aged man appeared, standing on a low ground, staring blankly in front of him.
It was a small tomb.
Only a small wooden sign was erected, and it is now so decayed that the words on it cannot be read clearly.
The man stuck the sword on his back on the ground and sat down. The man took out the wine flask, leaned his back on the scabbard, and drank his thoughts in sips.
I don’t know how long it took, but two figures appeared. One is wearing a green shirt and the other is wearing a white robe.
The two looked at the man in silence. Then the two of them bowed towards the small grave together, "Father, mother, we are here to see you."
"elder brother……"
"Zheng!" The sound of the sword sounded, interrupting the two of them.
"Don't worry, I'm just a common man, but I can't bear the claims you two make. I'm afraid of death." The man put away his sword, wiped the blade with his cuff, and then slowly put it back.
"This... what happened back then..."
As soon as the man in green shirt opened his mouth, the middle-aged man pointed a sword at his nose, "You still have the nerve to mention Xie?! If it weren't for Xie, how could my parents have died?!"
The middle-aged man's eyes were full of hatred, "I can't beat you now, but you should listen to me. When I perfect my swordsmanship, I will definitely level down the Kai Zongmen Mountain Temple and avenge my parents!"
"Also, Jie is my father and mother, not Xie. Xie is not worthy!"
"roll!"
The middle-aged man was stunned and roared hysterically.
The man in green shirt and white robe opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word, so he had to sigh. After the two of them said goodbye to the small grave and the middle-aged man, they turned around and left hand in hand.
The middle-aged man smashed the wine bottle, opened his mouth wide, and gasped.
His face was covered with rainwater.

Bai Gu stood in front of the bamboo gate, looking at the delicate yet rough courtyard in front of him. He didn't know what to do or say for a moment.
Bai Gu stood silently outside the door in the snow.
After a while, Bai Gu's shoulders were covered with a thick white waistcoat.
The door of one of the huts in the courtyard suddenly opened, and an old man walked out of it.
"You just stand outside and don't say anything. Do you think I have to invite you in?" The old man looked at Bai Gu helplessly and said angrily.
Bai Gu smiled, with an honest look on his face, "Hello, Mr. Xu!"
