Bai Gu felt that the bed at Lantau Inn was too soft and comfortable, and he was afraid that he would sleep too hard the next day and delay the originally agreed time. So Bai Gu just sat at the foot of the bed, leaning against the edge of the bed, and slept all night.
Bai Gu woke up very early because of his habit of getting up early and his sleeping position.
Taking a look at Bai Xiaoxiao, who was still sleeping soundly with his mouth open and a hint of crystal hanging from the corner of his mouth, Bai Gu couldn't help but smile. Then Bai Gu slowed down his hands and feet and stood up gently, for fear of disturbing Bai Xiaoxiao's sweet dream.
After Bai Gu finished washing, he returned to the room and sat on the wooden couch by the window.
Bai Gu took another look at Bai Xiaoxiao, who was still sleeping soundly, then withdrew his gaze, slowly closed his eyes, and began to wander.
It's a long way to go to Black Sheep Mountain, and it's unclear whether it's right or wrong, so it's better to improve your strength quickly.
Only when you have strength can you have the courage to move forward, and can you have some confidence in speaking and doing things.
It's not that Bai Gu is cowardly, it's just that he can't see clearly the light and darkness of the road ahead, and his own strength is not high. Bai Gu doesn't dare to risk Bai Xiaoxiao's and his own safety.
Even though his current cultivation level is just like that, Bai Gu doesn't expect that he can improve his cultivation level overnight. But how many points can I improve? At least it can give myself some comfort.
It's hard to say, but it was this bit of confidence that saved himself and Bai Xiaoxiao at the critical moment.
It takes a long time to rest, and good deeds can be rewarded. The mountain is full of clouds, don't talk about yesterday. The wind is coming, and the dream is resting. Day and night come, and the chief executive will be virtuous early.
A ray of light shone from the center of Bai Gu's eyebrows. After flashing twice, it disappeared into the center of Bai Gu's eyebrows again.
The art of nourishing the spirit, asking the heart!
When Bai Gu opened his eyes again, Bai Xiaoxiao was sitting on the bed sleepily, rubbing his eyes as if he hadn't woken up.
Bai Gu glanced at the sun in the sky and saw that it was already noon.
Bai Gu looked at Bai Xiaoxiao again and said with a smile, "How are you? Have you had enough sleep?"
Bai Xiaoxiao muttered in a low voice: "Brother, what time is it now? I'm so hungry."
"You can have lunch now, little lazy boy." Bai Gu's eyes were full of smiles.
Bai Xiaoxiao stopped rubbing his eyes and looked at Bai Gu helplessly, "Brother, I'm hungry."
"What to eat?"
Bai Xiaoxiao just woke up and didn't want to think. He just felt his mouth was dry, "I'm thirsty."
Bai Gu thought for a while, "Want to drink soy milk or soup noodles? Or vermicelli soup?"
Bai Xiaoxiao shook his head, "Is there anything else?"
Bai Gu thought about it in his mind, and after much deliberation, he only had one answer left, "How about eating wontons?"
Bai Xiaoxiao tried hard to recall the texture and taste of wontons in his mind, but his mind was unclear and he couldn't remember it. In the end, he was too lazy to choose any more, "Okay, let's just eat this."
Bai Gu nodded, walked out of the room, went downstairs and ordered wontons.
After a while, the waiter came upstairs with four bowls of wontons.
One bowl for Bai Xiaoxiao and three bowls for Bai Gu.
In Bai Gu's words, it's just to fill your stomach first. If you get hungry on the way, there are some marinated meats in the Xumi beads and sesame cakes and naan cakes, which can satisfy your hunger.
The two drank up all the wonton soup, then each burped, leaned on the chairs, and stretched out comfortably.
Before Bai Gu left, he drank all the water in the teapot without leaving a drop.
Bai Gu took Bai Xiaoxiao and started to head to the east city gate.
Along the way, Bai Gu bought some snacks, such as fried chicken legs, fried fish, roasted sweet potatoes, etc. He could eat them on the road later to relieve his boredom.
Bai Gu also bought a few bunches of candied haws on the way, and Bai Xiaoxiao ate them one by one, and put the rest into the Sumeru beads together.
When Bai Xiaoxiao finished the bunch of candied haws in his hand, the two of them just walked to the east city gate.
As for Bai Gu, he had already finished eating the candied haws.
Bai Gu held Bai Xiaoxiao's hand. Just as he walked out of the east city gate, Bai Gu saw a carriage waiting under the big tree in the distance.
Next to him, stood a slender young man with a warm smile, like a spring breeze.
Bai Gu quickly stood up on tiptoes and waved to the man, fearing that he wouldn't see him.
The young man noticed the movement on the east side of the city gate, turned his eyes this way, and then nodded.
Bai Gu followed and laughed.
But just as he was about to walk over, Bai Gu felt something strange and quickly turned his head to look aside.
Not far to Bai Gu's right, a man in purple robe and a woman in white stood beside each other, with a smile on their faces.
They just have different temperaments, kind and cold.
Bai Gu's eyes narrowed slightly.
In the distance, the young man's expression immediately changed, and he tensed up, as if facing a formidable enemy.
Bai Gu's mind was spinning, but he still took a deep breath and walked towards the two of them holding Bai Xiaoxiao's hand.
Since you can't escape, you can only accept it calmly.
"Mr. Jiang, Sister Bai." Bai Gu brought Bai Xiaoxiao to the two of them, first said hello, then pulled Bai Xiaoxiao, "Call someone."
Bai Xiaoxiao timidly hid behind Bai Gu, with only one eye exposed to look at the two of them, but did not speak.
Bai Gu tugged at Bai Xiaoxiao again, "Calling someone, why are you standing there in such a daze?"
Bai Xiaoxiao simply hid behind Bai Gu this time and didn't come out.
When Bai Gu was helpless and wanted to urge Bai Xiaoxiao to speak, Jiang Fengmian took the lead and said, "Forget it, if Xiaoxiao doesn't want to, don't force her."
Bai Gu had no choice but to apologize: "I'm a little scared of strangers, please forgive me Mr. Jiang and Sister Bai."
"It's okay." Jiang Fengmian waved his hand.
It's just that Jiang Fengmian said he didn't care, but his eyes kept staring at Bai Gu.
In other words, it was Bai Xiaoxiao after Bai Gu.
Although Bai Qi beside him didn't lose his composure like Jiang Fengmian, his eyes were still moving, and he couldn't leave Bai Xiaoxiao behind Bai Gu.
Bai Gu smiled and said, "Xiao Xiao and I are traveling far today, and I'm really sorry to bother Mr. Jiang and Sister Bai with a trip."
Jiang Fengmian put his hands on his sleeves and said with a smile: "Jiang Mansion is not far from the East City Gate, so it doesn't matter. Besides, I have an appointment with Bai Xiaoyou, and I have no habit of breaking the appointment."
Bai Gu took out two bunches of candied haws from the Xumi beads and handed them to Jiang Fengmian and Bai Qi respectively, "I don't have much money, so I can only buy this. Please don't dislike it, Mr. Jiang and Sister Bai, and treat it as such. It’s a gift of fate and gratitude for meeting you.”
Jiang Fengmian looked at the two bunches of candied haws in Bai Gu's hand with a playful look in his eyes.
Bai Qi had a complicated look on his face and turned to look at Jiang Fengmian. Then the two of them nodded almost imperceptibly, then each reached out to take the candied haws, "Thank you, little friend Bai."
"Thank you Xiaobai."
Bai Gu nodded, "The candied haws on a stick isn't worth much, as long as you two don't dislike it."
Jiang Fengmian chuckled and said, "It is light on etiquette but heavy on affection. I accept this affection."
A smile flashed in Bai Gu's eyes, "Mr. Jiang's words are serious. I'm very happy if you can accept it."
Jiang Fengmian also narrowed his eyes slightly, "It doesn't matter, little friend Bai has your heart, and I can't betray my righteousness. Besides, the road is still long, and my fate with little friend Bai is not over yet, and we will meet again in the future."
Jiang Fengmian smiled meaningfully.
