Bai Gu was sitting in the car. He had just finished a soul wandering and was adjusting his somewhat chaotic atmosphere.
Wang Xizhou endured it again and again, but finally couldn't help but ask the question in his heart, "Xiao Bai, you seem to be a little restless recently. Your breath is very unstable when practicing walking. Are you worried?"
Bai Gu pretended to adjust his breathing. After a long silence, he opened his eyes and sighed softly, "It's a little bit, but it's okay. It's very controlled."
"It's difficult to solve it? You might as well speak up and see if Xizhou can help."
Bai Gu reached out and took the water bag handed over by Du Xinluo and took a sip of water. "Mr. Wu first asked me to go to Black Sheep Mountain and then make plans, so I don't need to worry about Brother Wang."
Wang Xizhou hesitated, knowing that he was asking for trouble, so he did not continue the topic.
Just kidding, what can even a figure like Mr. Wu find difficult to solve, can Wang Xizhou, a little landscape expert, be able to solve it?
Take a shower and go to bed early.
Then Wang Xizhou asked another question in his heart, "What's wrong with Xiaoxiao? Why are she sleeping longer and longer these days? This is not conducive to her development."
Bai Gu looked at Bai Xiaoxiao, who was sleeping soundly next to him, with gentle eyes.
Even Du Xinluo looked curiously at the sitting Bai Gu and the sleeping Bai Xiaoxiao, wondering why this sister whom she had just met not long ago was always sleeping.
I'm afraid you're only awake for one or two hours this day, right?
And this waking time seems to be slowly decreasing?
After a brief silence, Bai Gu smiled slightly, "It's okay, kid. It's okay to be sleepy. Just let Xiaoxiao sleep if she wants to. Anyway, she doesn't have anything important to do now, so let her go."
Wang Xizhou frowned slightly, "Isn't it unreasonable to be sleepy at such a young age?"
"Isn't it normal to feel sleepy after eating?"
"But this is too much."
Bai Gu lowered his eyes, "Xiao Xiao has been sleepy since he was a child. If he doesn't get enough sleep, his body will be prone to problems. It was because of this that he got seriously ill before, and he had to rest at Mr. Wu's place for a while."
"I see." Seeing that Bai Gu moved out of Wu Lao again, Wang Xizhou had no choice but to give up.
Wang Xizhou is not the kind of person who doesn't wink at all.
Bai Gu has already moved out of Mr. Wu, and has made it clear that he doesn't want to say more, so why should Wang Xizhou ask for trouble?
Bai Gu looked young, but Wang Xizhou felt that he was very thoughtful and much more mature than his peers. Coupled with Bai Gu's mouth that can choke someone to death, Wang Xizhou will not be like Hua Xie, committing suicide and asking for trouble.
Bai Gu looked at Du Xinluo, who was holding the water bag obediently, but her eyelids were twitching, "Xinluo, if you are sleepy, you can just lie down and take a nap. There is no need to hold on."
Du Xinluo smiled shyly, "No, no, I'm not sleepy, I can do it."
"As I said, I'm not a young master from a rich family, and you don't have to think of yourself as a maidservant. You can eat when you want, sleep when you want, and relax. We don't have those troublesome rules."
Du Xinluo nodded quickly like a chicken pecking at rice, but she still sat upright and did not lie down to rest.
Bai Gu didn't say anything more, took out a book and started to read.
I got up at Mao o'clock and set off, and I have been struggling until now, which is almost four hours. Logically speaking, there is nothing wrong with taking a nap at noon. But even if Du Xinluo was so sleepy that her eyelids trembled, she still suppressed yawns one after another and secretly pinched her thighs to keep herself awake and not fall asleep.
In the past few days, Du Xinluo acted like a servant girl. When Bai Gu was gone, she would stay by her side. After Bai Gu was gone, she would bring him water and papers. She would usually play with Bai Xiaoxiao and lie low. Seeing him acting like a young man made Bai Gu feel uncomfortable.
The reason why Bai Gu agreed to take Du Xinluo in to the two villagers in Shitiangou was not because of the two villagers' pleading, which made him feel compassionate, or because he wanted to show off to Wang Xizhou.
It was because Bai Gu felt that the little girl, now Du Xinluo, looked a lot like the same person.
A person who looked at him timidly on the road with the same fear in his eyes as Du Xinluo before.
That person is sleeping in the car now.
Bai Gu gently straightened Bai Xiaoxiao's hair, which was a little messy from sleeping.
There are still 13,700 miles left in Black Sheep Mountain.
There is only less than nine months left.
It should be in time.
I hope so.

The Chiyang Desert is a severely drought-ridden land that is exposed to extremely hot sunlight all year round, making it difficult for any living thing to survive in the Chiyang Desert. Even cacti cannot survive here.
The most abundant things here are the tens of thousands of miles of yellow sand in the desert and the fierce and scorching sunshine.
This place is extremely harsh, and even in the Kuxuan realm, it is difficult to cross the Chiyang Desert by relying on one's own cultivation, unless one is holding an ice-cold treasure. For thousands of years, there have been many practitioners who have tried to break this forbidden curse, but they only add a little more prestige to the evil name of Chiyang Desert.
However, there are always exceptions to everything, and Chiyang Desert, which is regarded as a small forbidden land, is no exception.
A small black dot suddenly appeared from a distance. It moved slowly at first, and then gradually a figure emerged, a wisp of white.
In the blink of an eye, a monk in white came slowly from a distance.
It is a self-cultivation in an ascetic way, and the body and mind are honed in the world.
If the monk in white felt something, he raised his head and looked in front of him.
In the distance, a small black dot slowly emerged, moved, and finally turned into a figure, slowly walking towards him.
He is a scholar in green shirt.
The man seemed to have a tacit understanding. He raised his head and met the eyes of the monk in white.
The moment the two looked at each other, a bell seemed to ring between heaven and earth, echoing in their ears for a long time.
Neither of them knew who the other was, but from this moment on, they both knew the other's identity.
But both of them remained calm and continued to move forward.
The white-robed monk practices asceticism to the west, and golden lotuses emerge from the ground.
The scholar in green shirt headed east, growing flowers every step of the way.
The two walked towards each other, but at the intersection they just looked at each other and smiled, and then continued to move towards their respective destinations.
Tacitly.
There is ample time.
On this day, in the vast, desolate and inaccessible Chiyang Desert, two gorgeous flower paths bloomed, parallel to each other and clearly distinct.
It didn't disperse for a long time.

The sun is getting lower, and the sky is a shrimp red.
Bai Gu and others settled in a town and rested for a day before continuing on their way.
But during dinner, when Hua Xie told some information about this town, Bai Gu's expression became strange.
This town is quite large, with thousands of households. This place is named Heshui Town because it is close to a river called Heshui and is rich in river fish.
This place used to have a better town name, but later the name was changed for no reason because of a certain mayor. But at that time, the mayor had a high position and was loved by others, so the people didn't take it to heart.
Anyway, it’s just the name of a town, and it’s not a piece of meat, so it doesn’t matter.
The name of the town that was changed was Qingchi.
Qingchi Town.
Bai Gu's face suddenly became wonderful.
Because someone mentioned this place before and asked him to do something.
Jiang Fengmian.
That person who always had a smile on his face, but somehow made Bai Guda feel uncomfortable...?
Maybe because he is a demon?
Maybe it's because... he wants to take Bai Xiaoxiao away.
Either of the two points made Bai Gu feel uncomfortable.
Especially the second point.
Bai Gu again thought of the three-color ink ingot lying in his sumeru bead.
"If it's convenient, little friend Bai, on the way to Black Sheep Mountain, you will pass by a bamboo forest. There is an old friend of mine there. I hope that little friend Bai can help me pass this square ink ingot to my old friend."
"The bamboo forest is called Thousand Miles of Wind Resting Place. It is two hundred miles east of Qingchi Town. It is not difficult to walk. As for my old friend, whose surname is Shen, he likes to be called Zhusheng in his prime. In addition, he is also in that bamboo forest. That is one of the two owners of Thousand Miles Wind Resting Place.”
Qingchi Town...isn't it the Heshui Town under our feet now?
"Brother Hua, is there a bamboo forest near here?"
Hua Xie was a little surprised, "Yes, there is a big bamboo forest, what is it called?"
"A resting place for thousands of miles of wind?"
"Yes, that's the name!" Hua Xie felt something was wrong, "Oh no, how did you know that there was a bamboo forest nearby and called it this name? I remember it wasn't on the map."
Bai Gu rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Before leaving Yunshui City, someone gave me something and asked me to help deliver it to a person. And that person is here at the resting place of Thousand Miles of Wind."
Hua Xie raised his eyebrows, "I see. Let me tell you, you haven't traveled far, and the name of the bamboo forest is not recorded on the map. How can you possibly know the bamboo forest?"
Wang Xizhou's expression changed slightly, "Are they the two seniors who came to see me off when we set off that day?"
Bai Gu nodded.
Hua Xie looked at Wang Xizhou with curiosity in his eyes.
Wang Xizhou briefly spoke to Hua Xie from his heart.
Hua Xie raised his other eyebrow again.
Good guy, this guy knows so many strong people! Awesome, awesome.
Facing Hua Xie's surprise, admiration, and somewhat lewd look, Bai Gu knew that Wang Xizhou had secretly told Hua Xie about Jiang Fengmian.
But Bai Gu didn't care.
He doesn't want to pay attention to that much now.
He was still thinking about Jiang Fengmian, especially the warning he gave himself after explaining the matter about the three-color ink ingot.
Qianlifeng Resting Place has two owners, one of whom is Jiang Fengmian's old friend named Shen. As for the other one, Jiang Fengmian didn't say it clearly, but it sounded like... he wasn't easy to mess with?
"Little friend Bai, please listen to the next advice. Don't mess with the other person at Qianli Feng Resting Place. It's best not to even meet him. It's good for you."
Bai Gu sneered in his heart.
nice to me?
Just him?
In the clear sky and daylight, seeing a real ghost is much more believable than this.
