Bai Gu sat in front of the small grave for a while, then got up, cleaned himself up, and left reluctantly.
Before it was dark, Bai Gu quietly slipped back to the wooden house, lay down next to Bai Xiaoxiao, and squinted for a while.
When Bai Gu opened his eyes again, Bai Xiaoxiao was already sitting obediently at the wooden table, playing with some weed dragonflies that he made up for her last time.
A pair of big eyes and two small hands were tumbling up and down, with happiness written all over their face, and their two little legs were dangling happily.
But it didn't make a sound.
Bai Gu rubbed his eyes and said in confusion: "Xiaoxiao, what time is it now?"
Bai Xiaoxiao turned around suddenly and said with a smile: "It's already time, brother, you're staying in bed again!"
Bai Gu stretched, got dressed, jumped out of bed, walked to Bai Xiaoxiao, and rubbed her little head, "Yes, I ate too much last night and slept too soundly."
Bai Xiaoxiao chuckled, "Brother, do you want some water? I'll get it for you."
With that said, Bai Xiaoxiao was about to jump off the chair and pour water for Bai Gu.
Bai Gu held Bai Xiaoxiao down and asked her to sit on the chair and continue playing, "I'm going to wash my face first. The water will be poured out by the way, so you won't be busy."
Bai Xiaoxiao nodded.
After Bai Gu simply washed up, he ate a piece of naan bread, drank a glass of water, and was ready to go out.
"What do you want to eat tonight?"
"Beef noodle soup!" Bai Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up instantly.
Bai Gu smiled and said, "Okay, I'll give you another big chicken leg, okay?"
"No, brother, just beef noodle soup. I'll eat chicken legs during the Chinese New Year. It's delicious to eat chicken legs during the Chinese New Year!"
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Bai Gu went out, stood in the alley, looked to the east, then sighed, pulled off his cotton-padded clothes, and walked to the west.
It was still difficult for him to face Old Liu Tou.
Let's wait and see when we get back in the evening. I can get some pastries to support myself.
Then Bai Gu rubbed oil on the soles of his feet, and soon entered the city through the west gate.
Bai Gu walked on the street, took a big gulp of hot air into his hands, rubbed his hands, chewed his toothbrush seeds, and wandered to the door of Changzhou Pharmacy.
Bai Gu stood in front of Changzhou Pharmacy with complicated eyes, but he still walked in.
The porter on duty is still the fat porter.
The fat walker chuckled and said, "Mr. Bai, why are you free to come here today? Are you here to ask about some warming medicinal herbs for tonic? In this winter, you need tonic. As the old saying goes, if you take tonic during the third winter, spring will start like a tiger. Mr. Bai, do you need to go upstairs and ask Mr. Wu first? Mr. Wu happens to be free today."
Bai Gu nodded and said with a smile: "I want to ask Mr. Wu something."
"I can go up by myself." Bai Gu quickly added, interrupting Fatty's plan to go upstairs to report.
The fat waiter smiled and said, "Then don't dare to disturb Mr. Bai from looking for Mr. Wu. Mr. Bai can do what he wants."
Bai Gu nodded and left half of the silver as usual.
The fat waiter happily put away the money.
In fact, Bai Gu doesn't need to give money as a tip, because the people who work for Mr. Wu are treated well. Besides, serving Mr. Wu's distinguished guests is actually the job of servants like them, so it's not hard work at all.
Besides, being able to work for Mr. Wu’s distinguished guests is actually a good road.
In the past, there were many female doctors who were asked to leave by distinguished guests because of their good service. They all went to work in various luxurious mansions.
Therefore, the female doctors working in the hall work diligently on weekdays in the hope that one day they will be spotted by passing distinguished guests and selected to work in their own mansions. That would be a huge change!
Although she is still a servant, her status is different, and her monthly income can also be greatly increased.
At Cheung Chau Pharmacy, we have to serve all kinds of people every day, with different moods and hobbies, making it difficult to handle. It's different when you enter the mansion. The masters are all those masters. As long as you hang around for a while, you will naturally be able to master their preferences and personalities. Working at this level is much easier than working at Cheung Chau Pharmacy.
This is also a good way.
Of course, many medical women also have those whimsical dreams of flying onto a branch and turning into a phoenix. There have been a few people in the history of Cheung Chau Pharmacy who have succeeded, but they are all rare.
For others, just think about it in your mind. If you think too much, you will easily go crazy.
As soon as Bai Gu walked up to the third floor, he heard Mr. Wu's voice in his heart, "I'm in room 35."
Bai Gu nodded, walked for a while, and opened the door of Room 35.
It’s still the familiar sandalwood furniture, and it’s still the familiar aroma of orchids.
Bai Gu walked straight to the Grand Master's chair, sat down, and said straight to the point: "Mr. Wu, Xiaoxiao and I are going to Black Sheep Mountain in the next few days. I just came to tell you today."
"Oh? So anxious? Didn't you say you wouldn't leave until after the New Year? Why have you changed your mind now?" Mr. Wu walked out from behind the screen with a smile.
As soon as Bai Gu wanted to get up, he was held down by an invisible force, and Mr. Wu's voice came to his ears, "What are you doing politely? You don't have to go to such trouble in the future, just sit down."
Bai Gu lowered his head slightly, "I can afford to wait, but Xiaoxiao can't. She only has one year."
Mr. Wu nodded, "That's right. But it may not be too peaceful along the way. Pay attention to safety and go early and come back early."
"I try my best."
Mr. Wu took out a green bead, crushed it between his fingers, and turned it into a green light.
Mr. Wu pointed a little, and the green light suddenly penetrated into Bai Gu's forehead, "This is what your master asked me to hand over to you before he left. It is his understanding of the meaning of the fist. Please practice it well next time." He will check it out when we meet him.”
Bai Gu twitched the corner of his mouth, it was something his alcoholic master could say.
Mr. Wu took out another Sumeru bead and flicked it with his finger. The Sumeru bead landed firmly on Bai Gu's wrist and was strung together with the three previous Sumeru beads. "This is something left by your master." , he didn’t say what it was specifically, you need to open it yourself. However, he set a restriction, and it requires the perfection of the second level before it can be opened. He also said that the next time they meet, the Sumeru Pearl cannot be opened until the second level is perfect. , he is about to take it back. After all, you were given the opportunity, but you didn’t cherish it."
Bai Gu looked helpless.
It was something that his stingy and unlucky master could do.
How stingy!
How can a master set a limit on what he can give to his apprentice and still want to take it back?
If you really don’t want to give it, you don’t have to give it to me. I won’t mind. Really, the most I can do is call you a stingy person. But you are like this, I am really... convinced!
In his heart, Bai Gu couldn't complain about being an alcoholic anymore.
Bai Gudu announced that the drunkard had replaced the old beggar in his heart and became the most stingy person.
"Oh, by the way, your master also said that if you set out to Heyang Mountain and have successfully cured Xiaoxiao, and are ready to return to Yunshui City, you can consider taking a trip to Gulou Mountain. He may go there soon. "
Bai Gu frowned, "But I have my own arrangements."
The implication is that he doesn't like others to prepare for him in advance.
Mr. Wu smiled and said, "Your wife, over there."
Bai Gu raised his eyebrows, "Master, is he going to take back his wife?"
"I don't know about this. What he means is that after you cure Xiaoxiao, he will take back your master's wife together and then come back together. When you cure Xiaoxiao, he will prepare to take back your master's wife." Wu Laodun After a pause, "But I'm a little confused. After all, your master's current cultivation level is still a bit unsatisfactory."
Bai Gu thought for a moment, "Why don't we ask the old guy to go with us?"
"Your master won't agree. What he wants is to go up the mountain himself and bring back your master's wife. He wants to prove himself. If he really wanted the old guy to go with him, he would have taken back your master's wife a few years ago. , why wait until now? Do you really think the old guy is interested in your master’s stingy character? They both have the same stubborn temper!"
Bai Gu glanced at Mr. Wu in confusion.
Bai Gu can understand the drunkard's stubborn temper. After all, the drunkard is not very old yet, and the young man's mentality of wanting to get ahead is still somewhat residual, which is understandable.
But the old guy has already stepped half of his foot into the coffin board, and he is still stubborn? How can it be!
Besides, I have been with him for several years, but I have never seen him have a stubborn temper.
Mr. Wu smiled and said, "You'll find out later. It's still early."
How long have you known him? How long have I known him? Can you compare with me?
I don’t even dare to say that I understand him. How can you, the boy, have a mirror that shows you everything?
Compared with me, you are a bit younger!
