After the meal, Old Liu Tou asked Brother Peng to take Bai Xiaoxiao out to play. He had something to talk to Bai Gu.
Brother Peng was puzzled.
Is there anything that I can't discuss in front of myself and Bai Xiaoxiao? We should be treated as outsiders, right?
But Brother Peng still obeyed.
You still have to listen to Mr. Liu’s words.
Bai Gu was also a little confused. He didn't know that Old Liu Tou had anything to say to him, and he still wanted to separate the two of them.
He picked up the cup and took a sip of water, suppressing the underlying uneasiness in his heart.
"Really decided to leave?" Old Liu Tou said slowly.
Bai Gu replied without hesitation: "Well, we will set off the day after tomorrow. We will go to the city to stay overnight and find a carriage on the way."
Lao Liutou's brows tightened, "Have you really decided?"
Bai Gu didn't know why, but he still nodded.
"You may not know Xiao Xiao's life experience, so you should think about it carefully..."
Before Old Liu Tou finished speaking, Bai Gu interrupted him directly, with an indifferent expression on his face, "Isn't it the Demon Clan? The Shanggu Clan, I know that."
Old Liu's head froze, and then his brows tightened, "You know?"
"Well, I just found out today. I went to the city and happened to meet Jiang Fengmian who was looking for his little one. I went to his house and almost made a move. Fortunately, there was a magic stick who saved me, otherwise today I'm afraid I won't be able to leave Jiang Mansion. I treated the magician to a meal, and then he told me some things, including small things." Bai Gu told everything truthfully.
"God stick?"
"His name is... oh, his name is Qiu Zizai. He is a Taoist priest who likes to play tricks, so I call him Shengun." Bai Gu thought for a while before remembering Qiu Zizai's full name.
Old Liu was silent for a while, and then asked after a long time: "Aren't you afraid..."
"Afraid? What's there to be afraid of? Xiaoxiao is a demon. This is something she was born with and cannot be changed. Since it can't be changed, we can only try to accept it. Anyway, I don't care. If you are worried about Xiaoxiao in the future, Xiao Mohua, she doesn’t recognize me as her brother, and even takes action against me, that will be her own business in the future and has nothing to do with me. She is my sister now, and I am still her brother, so I have to take on the responsibility of a brother. , protect her and solve her hidden disease problem." Bai Gu chuckled, and then said slowly.
Old Liu Tou's brows were already as tight as a knot at this time, but he still said calmly: "You have to think clearly, this matter is closely related, and you don't regret it in the future!"
Bai Gu's eyes were bright, he pressed the table with one hand, and said with high spirits, "I will never regret it! For the sake of my family, what kind of thing is the Shang Bone Clan! My master used to be my master's wife, and he used his cultivation in the Third Realm to fight with many big bosses. Then I As Bai Gu's disciple, how can he hold him back and treat him like a coward? It doesn't matter that Xiaoxiao is a demon. As long as she doesn't do anything bad, she is a good person. Even if something comes to our door, we are the ones who are responsible. Son, they suffered a loss! As long as we are reasonable, we are right! They should be the ones to apologize, not us!"
"It's a good thing that you have quite a lot of backbone." Old Liu Tou snorted from his nostrils, "I'm just afraid that some idiots, indiscriminate and disrespectful of benevolence and morality, will just come up and kill them. Their cultivation level is higher than yours. You So what?"
Bai Gu was stunned for a moment, then fell silent, the look on his face gradually dissipating like an ebbing tide.
This was exactly the same question Qiu Zizai asked at noon, and it was the same question that he couldn't answer.
It's very simple. If you can't beat him, do you still have to rush to kill him?
Although he could die to protect Bai Xiaoxiao, he would never allow himself to be killed by his own stupidity.
Bai Gu pursed his lips, clenched his hands into fists, and trembled slightly.
When Old Liu saw Bai Gu being silent, he sighed and said, "I know you may not like what I say, but as someone who has been through this, I still want to advise you, cut it off as soon as possible."
Bai Guli's eyes were focused and he raised his eyes to look at Lao Liutou.
Although Bai Gu was speechless, his eyes were undisguisedly gloomy.
It’s just that Old Liu Tou ignored Bai Gu and continued to talk to himself: "Keep the green hills here, don’t worry about running out of firewood. I also believe that you are not a fool and will die in vain. If that day comes, I hope You can save yourself and run away, that way you won't be embarrassed. You will waste your life in vain, and you will be laughed at. A gentleman's revenge is never too late. Wait for the day when you have achieved success, then go back and swollen their faces. That’s okay.”
"But Xiaoxiao..."
Old Liu Tou sneered, "The Shanggu Clan is standing behind Xiaoxiao. With their support, why do you have to worry about it? You should think more about yourself!"
Bai Gu hesitated for a moment, but still said slowly: "I don't believe them."
"With your current level of cultivation, even if you don't believe them, what can you do? They don't need your trust at all, or in other words, they don't like you." Old Liu Tou said in a contemptuous tone, and then said: "You want to be cured?" I won't stop you for your little hidden illness. You've already decided to go to Black Sheep Mountain, and I won't dissuade you. After all, going out for a walk is also a good thing. But you have to promise me one thing, don't refuse! "
Bai Gu nodded, "You say."
"I want you to promise one thing, come back alive!" Old Liu Tou's cloudy old eyes suddenly looked like lightning as he looked directly at Bai Gu, "This is a small trip to treat a hidden disease. If you are really exposed as a demon, remember, ! You must protect yourself first and survive first!"
Bai Gu's fists clenched, but he quickly loosened them.
Bai Gu sniffed, as if he had figured something out, and smiled softly, "While ensuring Xiaoxiao's safety, I will live well. After all, I cherish my life."
Old Liu nodded lightly, "That's good."
Although Bai Gu's answer was somewhat different from his own question, Old Liu Tou knew that this was already Bai Gu's biggest concession. If you push him any further, things will develop in the opposite direction.
Furthermore, Bai Gu’s answer is not unacceptable.
As for Bai Gu still wanting to take care of Bai Xiaoxiao, a daughter of the demon clan, let him take care of it himself. When he suffers, he will understand his good intentions.
Bai Gu took another deep breath, and then his face became solemn, "Grandpa Liu, I want to ask you something. I hope you can help me clarify my doubts."
Old Liu glanced sideways at Bai Gu, "Tell me about it."
Bai Gu sat up straight, "I want to ask, is my grandma a cultivator?"
As soon as these words came out, Lao Liutou immediately narrowed his eyes, with surprise and suspicion in his eyes, "Who asked you to ask?"
Bai Gu was fearless, "No one is instructing me, I want to ask myself."
Old Liu Tou sneered: "Then why did you suddenly ask about this? Don't think about it. Old man, I am not that easy to fool."
Bai Gu took out the piece of rough fabric embroidered with a red dragonfly, "When I gave my family clothes as a gift, I got a small shirt that my grandma had knitted by herself. This red dragonfly was embroidered on the lining of the small shirt. Here, only grandma and I knew about this. But a few days ago I went to Gu Xuefeng, and Mr. Xu handed me this piece of cloth embroidered with red dragonflies, saying that grandma had gone up the mountain a long time ago. I gave this to him and said it was a very important thing and he must give this to me in the future.”
"Then what?"
"If my grandma was not a cultivator, how could she have predicted this and cut this piece of fabric in advance and asked Master Xu to hand it over to me? How could she persuade Master Xu to help me, a boy from a back alley, for no reason?"
Old Liu Tou looked indifferent, "Maybe it's just a coincidence? As for the old guy on the mountain, he and your grandma already know each other. With their friendship, it doesn't seem difficult to help you, right? Also, aren't you with him? Did you make a deal? It was just a little effort, but you got a lot of benefits. Anyone can do a business that is sure to make money without losing money."
"Then...how to explain this?"
As soon as he finished speaking, an invisible film immediately wrapped the space around the wooden table.
At the same time, Bai Gu's right eye also flashed with red light, which was extremely mysterious.
Old Liu raised his eyebrows, "Light-accumulating barrier? I even passed this on to you. What a waste of money."
Seeing that Old Liu Tou recognized the light barrier, Bai Gu put it away. After all, it was just to test Old Liu Tou.
"I can only say that your grandma is a cultivator, that's all." Old Liu Tou answered Bai Gu's question just now.
Bai Gu frowned, "Really? What do you mean?"
Talking about this, Old Liu Tou seemed to be interested, and there was a playful smile on his old-fashioned face, "It depends on how you understand what a practitioner is. If you think that a person with cultivation is a practitioner If you are a person, then your grandma is a cultivator. If you want to do serious calculations, then your grandma is only half a cultivator at most, or even not. Your grandma has cultivation, but she did not practice it herself. . You can understand that your grandma is just a container, only temporarily carrying some of other people's cultivation. So, your grandma can barely be regarded as a cultivator, but her cultivation is not her own. "
"I see..." Bai Gu murmured.
But Bai Gu still felt something was strange.
Before Bai Gu could think about it, Old Liu Tou said again: "Next time you come here, remember to bring some rice and date cakes. I have no taste in my mouth lately."
Bai Gu nodded quickly and said, "Okay, I remember."
"If you have nothing to do, go back early. You will be tired from running around in two days, so pay attention to rest."
"Yes. Then Grandpa Liu, I will go back first."
"Um."
After Bai Gu left, a coldness slowly appeared on Old Liu Tou's old face, and his originally cloudy old eyes were extremely sinister at this time.
Old Liu crushed the wooden quilt in his hand with one stroke, and veins popped out on the back of his hand.
"On the surface, they talk about benevolence and morality, but secretly they are full of dirty plans of men stealing and women prostitutes. They are a group of extremely hypocritical old people! Bah!"
Between the heaven and the earth, there seemed to be angry birds chirping throughout the sky.
But in this snowy sky, like a bird in a cage, unable to escape.
