Bai Gu followed Wang Xizhou to his room.
As soon as he sat down, Wang Xizhou first poured a glass of water for Bai Gu, and then while pouring water for himself, he said: "It's actually no big deal to call you here this time."
Wang Xizhou paused, "The first thing is that the sacrificial mage from Shayu Town is dead. He was dealt with by the people of Shayu Town."
"ah?"
Bai Gu was not surprised by Wang Xizhou's first words. After all, Bai Gu was still very clear about how many things he had done.
With the kind of injuries the Caiyi man suffered, it was impossible to survive unless he spent a lot of money.
Even if the man in colorful clothes is lucky enough to survive, he is still a useless person.
The meridians and Dantian were smashed by Bai Gu's sword, and a piece of his spine was dug out by Bai Gu. If the man in colorful clothes could still walk on the ground, Bai Gu would give him his head.
But the next sentence surprised Bai Gu.
The man in colorful clothes is the sacrificial mage of the Mountain God Festival. In the eyes of the people of Shayu Town, he is the incarnation of the will of the Jiaoyue Mountain Mountain God, and he represents the mountain god!
He is the mountain god who blesses the people of Shayu Town with good weather and good harvests!
The man in colorful clothes usually has a higher status than the mayor in Shayu Town.
Even far more than the mayor!
Just such a number one person was beaten to death?
Or did the people of Shayu Town handle it themselves?
Bai Gu didn't believe it no matter what he heard.
Seeing Bai Gu's doubts, Wang Xizhou explained: "Brother Duan and Xizhou went to Shayu Town a few days ago and explained to the people in Shayu Town. For this reason, Brother Duan also invited people from nearby A Taoist master who is good at looking after others spent a lot of time convincing the people of Shayu Town that there is no mountain god on Jiaoyue Mountain. As for the sacrificial mage, we will leave it to them."
Bai Gu suddenly realized.
What you mean by giving him a good time is like this.
The ruin of one's body and reputation is like the collapse of a statue of a god or the shattering of an altar.
No wonder Duan Qie said that Wang Xizhou looked like a good man, but he was actually a bad man.
Now it seems that it is indeed.
Scholars are really smart.
Wang Xizhou continued: "The second thing is that Xiaobai, you haven't read much, and you probably don't know many words so far, so Xizhou has volunteered himself and wants to teach you how to read and write. What do you think?"
Bai Gu was stunned and looked at Wang Xizhou with disbelief.
what's the situation?
Teach me how to read and write? Are you, like Duan Qie, a school lecturer?
"Brother Wang, I have a master. I'm afraid this is inappropriate, right?"
Wang Xizhou smiled and said, "Don't worry about this. Xizhou doesn't dare to go beyond the rules and try to compete with a swordsman for his disciples. Xizhou teaches you to read and read just for the sake of help between friends. It does not involve the relationship between master and disciple. It doesn’t matter.”
Bai Gu nodded, indicating that he understood, but he still said: "I appreciate Brother Wang's kindness, but the journey to Heyang Mountain is not very long, and Brother Wang, you have to go collecting scenery on the way, so you have even less time. Yes. I'm worried..."
"It doesn't matter. Xizhou teaches you how to read and read. It's just a little effort. The one who really has to work hard should be you. It doesn't matter who the teacher is. What matters is whether you can persist in learning and not be distracted by external things. Attract, discipline yourself.”
Bai Gu was speechless.
He had declined Wang Xizhou politely, and his tone was so obvious that everyone could hear it.
Doesn't this guy understand human language?
Seeing Bai Gu's silence, Wang Xizhou said: "Don't be in a hurry about this matter. Take your time. When you think about it, it won't be too late to reply to Xizhou. As for the third thing, it doesn't matter if you don't mention it. It's related to The second thing is connected. If, Xiaobai, you are not willing to let Xizhou teach you how to read and write, then the third thing will be the same regardless of whether you say it or not."
Bai Gu just nodded, picked up the cup and took a sip of water.
To whet my appetite? Sorry, I really don't like this.
But this third thing is pretty easy to guess.
There is a high probability that something happened to Wang Xizhou on the way and he needed to be delayed.
If Bai Gu promised Wang Xizhou to teach him how to read and write, then the few of them would accompany him all the way to Black Sheep Mountain. So if Wang Xizhou needs to stay for a while on the way, he needs to discuss it with Bai Gu in advance.
It's just that if Bai Gu doesn't agree to Wang Xizhou's proposal, then everything will be over. What he said is the same as what he didn't say. It's better not to say anything.
It's not that Wang Xizhou is trying to keep things secret, it's just that there are some things that he shouldn't say if he can, so as not to involve too many people, and then everyone will be drowned and covered in dirty water.
Wang Xizhou's eyelids were lowered, and his voice was inexplicably low, "Xiao Bai, can you tell Xizhou why you changed your temperament a few days ago and dealt such a heavy blow to the sacrificial mage...?"
Bai Gu sneered in his heart.
Having said so much, I still want to come back.
Bai Gu took another sip of water, "Brother Wang, I think you must have made a mistake. My temperament did not change drastically at that time, but I just followed the trend. In other words, that is my true nature. What do you think? Me, it’s just what you think.”
Wang Xizhou frowned slightly, "Are you murderous?"
Bai Gu nodded, making no secret of it, "Whoever made him covet Xiaoxiao was so dirty. There are some things and some words that no one can do or say in my place. If you do it and say it, then He has to die. No matter who he is, I will let him die, and it will never be so happy. I want him to remember in his next life to keep his hands, feet and mouth clean, otherwise death will be a luxury. "
Seeing Bai Gu's sallow complexion and his childish face, the coldness in his calm tone made Wang Xizhou, who was in the spirit-swallowing realm, feel a little shuddering.
A boy who was only seventeen not long ago had such a cruel and cold-blooded style of doing things. If we really turn a blind eye to it and let it develop, will we still get it in the future?
Just as Wang Xizhou was about to say something, he heard Bai Gu ask inexplicably, "Brother Wang, do you have parents?"
Wang Xizhou couldn't help but twitch the corners of his eyes.
Do you want to listen and see what you are asking?
Even if you are so dissatisfied with me and suddenly greet other people's parents, are you polite?
Before Wang Xizhou could react, Bai Gu continued: "Brother Wang, I don't know if you have parents, lovers, brothers and sisters, and whether they are still alive or not? But if someone insults or hurts them, what will you do? Okay, I will assume that you have a bad relationship with them, even if they die in front of you, you will not blink an eye."
Bai Gu paused, "Then you always have an object that is dear to your heart, right? A fan? A jade pendant? Or a certain painting? What would happen to you if that object was maliciously damaged by someone? Is it possible that you can still be as calm as you are now? Are you sitting here trying to tell me some cheap and empty truths?"
Wang Xizhou was silent for a moment, "Xiaobai, what do you think is a cheap and empty truth?"
Bai Gu glanced at Wang Xizhou, "I don't read much and have little knowledge. I only know that I can only float in the air, and I can only look at the things that can't fall to the ground. I can only reach out to catch the things that melt in my hands. It’s cheap and empty truth. Those bullshit words are just like snowflakes. They only look good, but they are useless. They can’t even make a living.”
They are all people who are in the spirit-swallowing realm and are over 60 years old. They don’t even know this, so they live like dogs?
Oh, no, if that were the case, he would be worse than a dog.
After all, the dogs in Lingding Alley know that they need to fill their stomachs first before they can bark fiercely.
Wang Xizhou held the cup with a look of embarrassment on his face, "To stand in the world, a person must have a bottom line and a pursuit..."
Before Wang Xizhou could finish his words, he was interrupted by Bai Gu, "If you don't have enough to eat, you don't have the strength to stand up or lie down to breathe. It's hard for people who are about to starve to death. There is no bottom line." "
Bai Gu's expression was calm and indifferent, "I saw a scholar who was well-dressed, but he didn't eat for several days. He also abandoned the benevolence, morality, and economic principles that he usually talked about, and lay on the ground fighting with a few mangy dogs for food. Eat. Finally, the scholar finally opened the dog's mouth and grabbed the small piece of steamed bun, eating it with gusto."
Bai Gu couldn't help but sneer, "That guy is usually so self-possessed and noble, but at that time he was in such a miserable state, his clothes were torn to pieces, his head was bruised and bleeding, and one of his fingers was bitten off by a dog. Squat down. While eating steamed buns on the roadside, he stared at the people passing by, for fear that someone would snatch the steamed buns in his hand. To be honest, if someone really tried to snatch them away, with his appearance of thin skin and tender meat, others would not be able to snatch them away. You have to use some strength to avoid beating him to death in one go."
Bai Gu looked at Wang Xizhou again, "Brother Wang, I didn't hear clearly what you just said. Please say it again."
"Xiao Bai, you are too extreme." Wang Xizhou sighed, "The environment will change a person, but at least there must be a barrier in the heart. Unless it is a matter of life and death, don't let the beast in your heart take over. Xiao Bai, you Remember, you must learn to control your heart, rather than letting your heart control you. Acting haphazardly and following your heart will lead to big mistakes."
Bai Gu twitched the corner of his mouth, "Life is just a movable word. As long as you can live, any way of living is reasonable. If you die, it will be useless. I am just a little ant, not a big shot, even if I die on the street , who will remember my name? And who will always remember this? It’s just a side dish to drink in the streets and a source of conversation. People will forget it in a few days. How do I live? I have my own reasons. Mr. Wu and my master didn’t say much about this matter, they respected my thoughts.”
Wang Xizhou lowered his eyelids and said, "Xizhou is just discussing the matter."
Bai Gu chuckled, "What a coincidence, I am the same."
Wang Xizhou hesitated to speak, but in the end he held back a lot of words in his heart and did not speak out.
Bai Gu glanced at Wang Xizhou from the corner of his eye and sneered in his heart.
Bai Gu remembered a sentence he had heard while listening to Tang Tu's story in the Ant Hall.
A thousand cups of wine with a close friend is too little, and half a sentence without speculation is too much.
The current situation between himself and Wang Xizhou clearly belongs to the latter.
Bai Gu drank the last bit of water in the cup and then stood up, "Brother Wang, Xiaoxiao just got up. I'm afraid she'll fall asleep again, so I have to go take a look and tell her to get up and take a step forward."
"good."
Bai Gu walked straight out of Wang Xizhou's room without looking back.
Wang Xizhou sat blankly on the chair, still holding the cup in his hand, his expression gloomy.
