Bai Gu first returned to his home, called out Bai Xiaoxiao, and walked to the door of Old Liu Tou's house.
Bai Gu held Bai Xiaoxiao's hand and stood by the wall next to the door of Old Liu Tou's house, looking at the wooden door in a daze.
Bai Gu didn't like coming to Old Liu Tou's house since he was a child. He didn't know whether it was because he was indifferent to Old Liu Tou's dark face or because he was afraid of getting sick and taking medicine. Anyway, he just didn't feel close to Old Liu Tou.
I can't say I hate it, but I definitely don't like it either. Bai Gu even suspected that it was because he and Lao Liu Tou were in conflict with each other that this was the reason for such a situation.
But as he grew older, Bai Gu's distaste for Old Liu Tou did not deepen, but it did not diminish either.
This gave Bai Gu a little idea of the reason.
It's because I'm born to be indifferent to people who don't look good and who don't have a good eye for me.
Old Liu Tou is the former, and Qiu Zizai is the latter.
As for how to define the two, it all depends on how Bai Gu feels about a person when he meets him for the first time.
Very distracted.
Although she knew that Old Liu Tou was a cold-faced and warm-hearted person, she just couldn't feel any closeness to him, especially after the last time Bai Xiaoxiao's hidden illness broke out, and Old Liu Tou asked Bai Gu to give up. After Bai Xiaoxiao saved his own life, Bai Gu became even more indifferent to Old Liu Tou.
In other words, I have a grudge.
Although last time I woke up, I rushed directly to Old Liu Tou's house for dinner.
But this was also because he couldn't find Bai Xiaoxiao after returning home, so he guessed that Bai Xiaoxiao was taken to Lao Liutou's house for dinner, and then he went there.
Otherwise, it is estimated that Bai Gu would never have passed by Old Liu Tou's house until now.
But it was also because last time, Bai Gu and Old Liu Tou untied their knot invisibly, which gave Bai Gu the idea of having a good talk with Old Liu Tou again.
In any case, Lao Liutou is also a kind person to him, and he cannot let such a person feel cold.
Old Mrs. Bai said this, and Bai Gu was deeply engraved in his mind.
Bai Xiaoxiao tilted his head and looked at Bai Gu who was in a daze. He didn't say anything or made any other small movements. He just stood quietly with Bai Gu in the corner of Old Liu Tou's house.
Although Bai Xiaoxiao didn't know what Bai Gu was thinking, when Bai Gu was thinking about something, she would stop what she was doing, close her mouth, and not let herself make a single sound, so as not to disturb Bai Gu.
What if I'm thinking about something important? I can't disturb my brother's thinking.
So Bai Xiaoxiao stood quietly in the snow with Bai Gu. Even if there were snowflakes on his eyelashes, which made his eyes itchy, he didn't reach out to rub them.
He was just afraid of waking up Bai Gu who was in a daze.
It wasn't until Brother Peng suddenly grabbed the two of them from behind that Bai Gu came back to his senses.
"Why are you two standing here stupidly and not going in? Mr. Liu is at home, and the door is open. Let's go, it's so cold outside, but it's still warm inside."
With that said, Brother Peng didn't give the two of them a chance to speak, and pushed them into the room.
"Mr. Liu, look who's here?" Brother Peng shouted happily as soon as he entered the door.
Old Liu's rickety figure walked out of the back room. He glanced at the three of them and then looked away, "Isn't it just Xiaobai and Xiaoxiao who are here? Why are you so excited?"
"Grandpa Liu."
"Hello, Grandpa Liu."
Old Liu nodded and came to sit down at the wooden table. "Sit down, everyone. It's still early. I'll get you something to eat later."
Hearing this, Brother Peng couldn't help but tremble.
If I had known earlier I wouldn't have come.
Every time I come to Lao Liutou's house to eat, it's just like eating fast.
Boiled rice noodles with green vegetables, mixed with rice with wild vegetables, and white porridge with pickles. This is the third thing I cook over and over again every day.
Brother Peng is strong, consumes a lot, and naturally has a large appetite. When he comes to Lao Liutou's house for dinner, even if he cooks a pot for him, Brother Peng still won't be full.
Without him, just because there is no oil or water at all, where can I eat enough? Where can I get hungry?
If Old Liu Tou hadn't shown his disinterest in Buddhism before, Brother Peng would have thought that Old Liu Tou was a lay disciple of Buddhism, or had returned to secular life, but he still adhered to the habit of eating fast and chanting Buddha's name.
Especially during the period of recuperation, Brother Peng almost turned green.
Who can withstand eating fast and taking medicine every day?
So after he recovered from his injury, Brother Peng immediately ran to have a meal of braised naan bread.
Two bowls of braised pork and two naan made Brother Peng feel so comfortable that he walked home much stronger that day.
Since that day, Brother Peng never had time to come to Lao Liutou's house for dinner.
In other words, I don’t dare.
Brother Peng's general structure is really unable to withstand a life without oil and water every day.
Bai Gu smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and wiped it on the table. Four bowls of beef noodle soup and several plates of large dishes appeared on the table. As for the chicken legs, they must be placed in front of Bai Xiaoxiao.
Bai Xiaoxiao was very surprised by Bai Gu's move, but the bigger surprise came from the big chicken drumstick in front of him, "Brother, you are so powerful!"
A pair of big eyes stared straight at the big chicken legs, unable to look away at all.
Brother Peng was also very satisfied with Bai Gu's behavior of bringing food, and was also surprised that Bai Gu could create objects out of thin air.
Using one's own small world as the accommodation space is a method that can only be used freely in the upper three realms.
Bai Gu is now at the soul-enlightening realm, so he can only use the Sumeru Pearl.
"Xiaobai can do it, I even have the Sumeru beads!" Brother Peng chuckled, but his peripheral vision kept scanning the beef noodle soup and the plate of hand-caught lamb chops.
It's all meat!
They are all delicious!
Today I can finally eat and feel satisfied again!
"My master gave it to me. He also taught me two techniques and let me practice them on my own." Bai Gu answered truthfully.
Brother Peng was not surprised that Gu Bai started to practice. After all, after being suppressed by Bai Gu with a bead last time, Brother Peng knew that Gu Bai would definitely embark on the path of practice.
But he was still a little curious, "Then who did you worship as your master? Don't be a charlatan."
Old Liu Tou poured himself a glass of water, but he listened carefully to the conversation between the two.
Bai Gu first picked up a chicken leg and let Bai Xiaoxiao eat it by himself, and then answered Brother Peng's question, "My master's name is Lin Xianyu, and he is a swordsman. This is what Mr. Wu said himself, so it should be correct. I’ve also seen him take action, and it’s very powerful.”
"Lin Xianyu?" Brother Peng looked strange, "Why did you get involved with him and become your disciple?"
Judging from Brother Peng's face, he must have heard of his master's "heroic deeds" back then.
But from Mr. Xu’s tone before, it seems that the master was quite famous back then?
It just doesn't seem to be a good reputation.
Bai Guzhao told the truth, "It was arranged by an old guy. Oh yes, the one I dragged back to Lingding Alley a few years ago, half-dead, was the one who asked my master to accept me as his disciple."
Dark and unknown emotions flashed through Old Liu's eyes, and then he said slowly: "Lin Xianyu, is he from the Lin family of Mingqiu, right? This family's swordsmanship is not very good, and their custom is as bad as the family's swordsmanship. . In the past hundred years, Lin Xianyu has only had a decent swordsmanship seed. If you don't cherish it properly, you are really stupid. Although Lin Xianyu's qualifications are not bad, his current cultivation level is only a swordsman, and he can only be your master. I can say it’s barely enough.”
Brother Peng looks at his nose with his eyes, and his nose looks at his heart. He doesn't want to pick up the old Liu Tou's words.
Bai Gu was also a little helpless.
The drunkard is also a swordsman after all, but he has become so worthless in Old Liu's mouth, and he even said that being his master is barely enough.
It's really a bit much.
But Bai Gu still smiled and replied: "Since I have become a master, I just have to practice hard. As the old saying goes, the master brings you in, and cultivation depends on oneself. I can't find a strong and powerful boss to be my master, and I will be able to do it for the rest of my life. Don’t work hard? Or is it because my master’s strength is average that I really can’t get ahead? Isn’t there an old saying that a disciple doesn’t have to be inferior to his master? I’m not the kind of person who only relies on his master. Besides, my master is still young now, so he may not be inferior to him in the future. sharp."
"That's quite the nurse." Old Liu Tou teased without emotion, then picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of tendon and put it into his mouth, "Let's eat first, it's cold, so the food won't get cold."
Only then did Bai Gu and Brother Peng pick up their chopsticks and start using them.
Old Liu Tou asked abruptly, "When are you going to leave?"
Brother Peng was stunned for a moment. He paused while chewing the mutton chops and looked back and forth between the two of them. He didn't know what Old Liu Tou was asking.
Bai Gu swallowed what was in his mouth, and then replied: "If nothing else happens, I will leave the day after tomorrow to avoid being delayed for too long."
Lao Liu nodded, "You have to think about it yourself, that's fine. Are everything ready?"
"We don't have many things at home. We can just pack a few clothes and quilts and leave. I plan to rent a carriage, which will be faster than walking there and save more energy." Bai Gu explained all his arrangements.
"Do you have enough money on you?"
"Don't worry about this. I didn't spend much money selling snake scales last time. I should be able to cover the expenses along the way."
Old Liu nodded, "Just tell me if it's not enough. I happen to have some savings here, old man, so I can give you some more."
Bai Gu smiled and shook his head, "As long as we don't eat and drink every day, it should be enough for a round trip and there will still be some leftover."
Even if the more than 20,000 taels of gold on my body are not enough, I still have the white snow stone that I exchanged for the exercises from Mr. Wu!
Twenty-five thousand white snow stones are worth 250 billion taels of gold. They are still valuable but not marketable! How could there not be enough money?
You won’t be able to spend all of it in your next life, okay?
"That's good. Eat, eat, eat more, you look thinner. Xiaoxiao, you too, don't imitate your brother, grow taller, don't make others look down on you!"
"I know, Grandpa Liu!" Bai Xiaoxiao nodded seriously.
"What about me?" Brother Peng looked hopeful.
"You're a loser! You only know how to eat all day long. Why are you so big? You're wasting food!"
Brother Peng was asking for trouble, so he had no choice but to pout and silently scoop up the noodle soup in the bowl.
"Hahahaha!" Bai Gu and Bai Xiaoxiao couldn't help laughing.
A burst of cheerful laughter mixed with the aroma of food lingered in the room.
