Mr. Xu in white robe looked at Bai Gu for a long time, and finally couldn't help but asked: "Xiao Bai, what state are you in now? Why can't you even see through me?"
Bai Gu smiled slightly and said nothing.
"Why, you don't even want to tell me? So mysterious?" Mr. Xu in white robe said with a smile.
Bai Gu shook his head and said with a wry smile: "That's not the case. The main thing is that I didn't hide my cultivation. If you can't see it, you can't blame me. There's nothing I can do."
Mr. Xu in white robe was a little surprised, "No cover? That's strange. Why is it like this suddenly?"
Bai Gu thought for a moment, pointed at his eyes and said, "Could it be because of this?"
Refers to the previous vision of the eyes.
After being reminded like this, Mr. Xu in white robe had some clues, "The light barrier seems to be able to conceal the aura. As for the golden light in your left eye, it's really hard to say what it is. Because the golden light represents too many things. Yeah, I’ve never seen your golden light aura, so I can’t say. But one thing that’s certain is that this golden light is harmless to you, at least for now.”
"Light-accumulating barrier? What is that? What's its use?" Bai Gu immediately grasped the key point.
"The red light in your right eye is the light accumulation barrier. I explain too much to you and you can't understand it now. All you need to know is that the defense of this light accumulation barrier is very powerful. You will know the rest later."
Bai Gu frowned immediately, "Why is it defense again? The defenses on my body are almost piled up into a city wall, why are you still here?"
Mr. Xu in white robe did not answer Bai Gu's question. He just took out a piece of rough cloth with a red dragonfly that looked like a big mosquito crookedly embroidered on it. "Do you remember this?"
Bai Gu's heart skipped a beat and he quickly asked, "Master Xu, why is this thing here with you?"
Mr. Xu in the white robe didn't pay attention to Bai Gu's unkind tone and said calmly: "Your grandma gave this to me before she left. She said that there are important things kept in this cloth. You must open it when you are in danger in the future. And I have been told many times to pass this thing over to you. Now, my mission is completed."
Mr. Xu in white robe raised his palm, and the piece of rough cloth fell firmly into Bai Gu's hand.
Bai Gu quickly grabbed the rough cloth, his face panicked but cautious.
After feeling the familiar touch, Bai Gu quickly opened his palm and used his other hand to spread the rough fabric bit by bit. He did not forget to press the rough fabric with his fingers, for fear that it would be accidentally caught by the wind and snow. Blown away.
Bai Gu held the rough cloth carefully, but stared at it without blinking, for fear that the rough cloth would suddenly disappear in the next second.
Bai Gu's eyes suddenly turned red.
Bai Gu resisted the tears in his eyes, tried his best to put on a smile, controlled his emotions and choked up: "I knew it, I knew it! I knew grandma would not leave me! She would not leave me alone. In this world! I know grandma... grandma, she won’t..."
Bai Gu was suddenly speechless, because his uncontrollable emotions had blocked his throat.
Mr. Xu in white robe sighed and stretched out his hand to pat Bai Gu on the back.
Bai Gu cried louder and louder, as if he wanted to vent all the loneliness, hardship, and helplessness he had felt in the past six years.
The big tears rolled down his face drop by drop and shattered on the snow.
Bai Gu suddenly opened the hand of Mr. Xu in the white robe, then grabbed the rough cloth, turned around and ran down the mountain.
Crying and running.
Bai Gu ran for who knows how long. He was out of breath and his head was dizzy and his limbs were weak. It was not until he saw two small graves that were not too big that Bai Gu slowly stopped.
Bai Gu quickly and instinctively wanted to raise his right hand to wipe the tears and snot from his face, but he remembered that he was still holding a rough cloth in his hand, so he used his other hand to slowly wipe his face.
After wiping off all the traces on his face, Bai Gu dared to walk forward slowly, and knelt in front of the slightly larger grave with a plop.
Bai Gu wanted to put on a smile and tell Mrs. Bai what was on his mind. As soon as the funny smile reached the corner of his mouth, it turned crooked, and his face became bitter.
The lower part was lost, and even the upper reaches was breached.
Tears rolled down without even noticing.
Bai Gu simply ignored it and knelt in front of Old Mrs. Bai's grave, crying loudly again, even more heartbreaking than when he was on Fuxian Cliff just now.
The wind and snow hit my face and instantly turned it into a blur.
Just like when Mrs. Bai was buried, Gu Bai failed to ask for food on New Year's Eve that year, so he went hungry and cried in front of Mrs. Bai's grave.
Because he was young and didn't know how to beg for food or what to do when he was hungry, the young Bai Gu instinctively wanted to go home and complain to Mrs. Bai.
But when he got home, Bai Gu remembered that Mrs. Bai had passed away, and then he ran to Mrs. Bai's grave and knelt down crying.
It was from that day on that the young Bai Gu learned that he had to fight for and earn food by himself. He had to ignore all the consequences and sacrifice all his face to grab some food, otherwise he would have to go hungry. Sleep on your stomach.
You can be shameless, but you can't be shameless.
It is shameless to stutter so much that it is not embarrassing. You are a fool who cares about your face rather than your life!
What does swallowing snow, filling water, and chewing tree bark count? Who in Lingding Alley has never done this? This is all very common.
What makes everyone in Lingding Alley know Bai Gu is not only because his grandmother is the great benevolent Mrs. Bai in Lingding Alley, but also because of the fierceness he has shown since he was a child.
When Bai Gu was eleven years old, he was so hungry that he fought with two wild dogs in an alley to eat shit. One person and two dogs had an inextricable fight in the alley. In the end, Bai Gu, with a slight advantage, swallowed all the feces in the wild dog's mouth and on the ground.
One of the two wild dogs had its legs broken off, one had three teeth torn out, one was blinded, and the other was almost gouged out by Bai Gu.
Seeing that the food was gone and they couldn't fight the humans in front of them, the two wild dogs had no choice but to leave in frustration.
Bai Gu, who was covered in injuries, lay sprawled on the snow, breathing heavily. The stench of the feces he had just swallowed still lingered in his mouth, the wounds scratched by the wild dogs' claws were still bleeding out, and his clothes were torn to pieces by the wild dogs.
But Bai Gu was very happy because he could fill his stomach again.
It doesn't matter what you eat, as long as you can fill your stomach and save your life, it is the best thing in the world.
At that time, I don’t know how many people in the alley ran out of their houses to watch the fun. They all saw Bai Gu opening the wild dog’s mouth, then breaking off the wild dog’s sharp teeth, and reaching out to take out the feces from the wild dog’s mouth. Pop it into your mouth.
That scene shocked everyone present in Lingding Alley.
They never thought that an eleven-year-old child could do this in order to survive.
That fierceness made the people in Lingding Alley in the future not want to, nor dare to confront Bai Gu.
Even those five parents at that time only had the courage to confront Bai Gu because of their children, but none of them dared to look at Bai Gu for more than five seconds.
But if the young Bai Gu is not ruthless, how can he survive?
With no connections and no means of livelihood, where could young Bai Gu find food?
Don't be cruel, wait for yourself to starve to death at home, and then have your bones chewed clean by wild dogs, and then be devoured by your neighbors, and divide the valuable and useful things in the house, and finally divide the house into pieces, and completely eliminate the Bai family from Lingding Lane. ?
This is what Bai Gu doesn't want to see, and it's also what Old Mrs. Bai doesn't want to see.
So for all these years, Bai Gu has been struggling to support himself.
Even if he picked up Bai Xiaoxiao, she would be able to help him with some housework later on, but from the beginning to the end, it was Bai Gu who was running around and working hard all by himself.
He was tired and miserable, but he didn't want to say it because it would be useless.
Could it be said that grandma can be resurrected? Can gold fall from the sky for me to pick up? Can the parents of myself, Xiaoxiao, and Xiaobaiqiu come back to take each of them home?
Impossible!
If God could open his eyes, he would not have let grandma, a kind person, pass away so early. There would be no suffering or disaster in the world, let alone poor people's alleys like Lingding Lane.
So, don’t rely on God, it’s useless, it’s better to rely on yourself, talk less and do more, at least you can still eat and not die.
Old Liu Tou stood in the distance, looking at Bai Gu with distressed eyes and a complicated expression.
Brother Peng was also worried, but Old Liu Tou didn't say anything, and he didn't dare to act rashly, "Old Liu, you really don't want to persuade me? Look at how Xiaobai is crying."
Old Liu pursed his lips and was silent for a while, then slowly said: "Forget it, he still has to deal with it on his own at this time. Xiaobai has a lot of self-esteem, and if we go there now, it will only be counterproductive, so it is better not to go. Let's go. "
After saying that, Old Liu Tou turned around and left.
Brother Peng sighed, but he had no choice but to look at Bai Gu before leaving reluctantly.
Brother Peng turned around several times after walking only a few steps, but he still followed Old Liu Tou's footsteps, and they both disappeared into the snow.
Bai Gu was still kneeling, the tears on his face not stopping at all.
The red dragonfly stands out on the rough fabric.
Bai Gu just knelt in front of the small grave, holding the rough cloth tightly in his hands, crying and hearing the sound of wind and snow.
