Du Xinluo was a little afraid of the red rain at first, but when the rain soaked her, Du Xinluo didn't feel the coldness or other strangeness she imagined. Instead, she felt warm and comfortable.
After all, Du Xinluo was still young and had a childlike nature. She only thought it was fun, so she happily played with the water in the rain.
But not even half an hour after being exposed to the rain, Du Xinluo began to stagger unsteadily, as if she was drunk.
Wang Xizhou raised his hand and "fished" Du Xinluo back from the rain curtain.
"Is Xinluo okay?" Bai Gu frowned slightly.
Wang Xizhou smiled and wiped the moisture from Du Xinluo's clothes, "It's okay, Xinluo is feeling spiritual power for the first time, so she's a little uncomfortable with it. To use what you just said, she overdid it and her head is dizzy."
"It's fine." Bai Gu pretended not to hear the teasing in Wang Xizhou's words, and turned his attention to the rain curtain again.
Wang Xizhou supported Du Xinluo and looked at the middle-aged man, "Senior Zhusheng, Xinluo just got wet in the rain and needs a place to rest. It may take some time for Xiao Xie to practice in the rain, and the two boys' guidance will also need to be given after the rain stops. I wonder if it would be convenient to release Chunyuan, we still need to bother here for a few days."
"Yes, there must be some." The middle-aged man chuckled, "The three-story bamboo building in the front yard was specially built for visiting guests. The distinguished guests can choose their own rooms."
"In the next few days, I will need to bother Senior Zhusheng and several boy attendants a lot." Wang Xizhou nodded slightly in greeting.
The middle-aged man smiled and said: "It's great to have friends from far away. I'm happy that you can stay a little longer. Let's go to the guest house with a few distinguished guests."
"Okay, sir."
Wang Xizhou said goodbye to the middle-aged man with a smile, picked up Du Xinluo, and followed Hedu to the front yard.
Bai Gu took Bai Xiaoxiao, thanked the middle-aged man, and then followed the three people in front of him to the bamboo building in the front yard to choose a room.
The middle-aged man stood there with a smile on his face, quietly watching the people walking away through the red rain curtain.
——————
Bai Gu slowly opened his eyes, calmed down the spiritual energy in his body, looked out the window at the still cloudy night sky, and couldn't help but click his tongue.
I can’t go out to practice body skills anymore.
What a pity.
Bai Gu stretched out his hand and rubbed his face, then put his hands up and jumped off the wooden couch. After casually putting on a pair of shoes, Bai Gu walked to the table and walked down, poured himself a glass of water, took a new cup, and poured a full cup.
Bai Gu took a sip of water, then looked at the empty chair in front of him, "Senior Zhusheng, I'm sorry, I was wandering around just now, so I kept you waiting for a long time."
"It doesn't matter, it's just that Mr. Bai is not old, but his methods are good."
As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man appeared at the table out of thin air. The water in the teacup that had just been full dropped by a finger, making it easier for the middle-aged man to pick it up and avoid the water in the cup from sloshing out.
"There's nothing you can do. You have to be more cautious when you go out. I'll forgive you, Senior Zhusheng."
"I understand. When I was a teenager, I was not wary of people or things when I was just starting out, and I suffered a lot. Now that I think about it, I was young and ignorant, and very naive. It's good that you are like this now. At least you can travel less. detour."
Bai Gu smiled and said, "Actually, it's not as good as what Senior Zhu Sheng said. I'm just a small gangster in the market. I grew up by luck by eating bad food and dirty water. Because I eat a lot and it's not easy to survive until now, I can't I am not so protective of food and life. I have seen more dirty tricks and things since I was a child, and now I am traveling with Xiaoxiao, so I am more wary. It’s not that I’m worried about the dangers of Zhu Sheng-senpai here, it’s just that I I am too afraid of death and worried about my little safety, so I will take out all the defensive means to take precautions before it happens."
The middle-aged man nodded, "You are not high in cultivation now, so you are right to do this. If it weren't for the fact that Tianqi has something to pick up this time, I would not open it easily. There are thousands of miles under my feet. The bamboo forest sounds like a resting place for thousands of miles of wind, but in fact it is just a turtle shell that cannot be pried open, and I am just hiding in it to take a rest."
"Hide?" Bai Gu raised his eyebrows, "Senior Zhusheng, is there an enemy you are worried about?"
The middle-aged man chuckled, "Who doesn't have a few enemies and grudges when you go out? I just don't want to get entangled with them too much, and I'm tired of running around, so I found a good place like this to spend the day."
"Do you not want to get entangled, or can't you beat him?" Bai Gu asked desperately.
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, then he laughed dumbly and admitted openly: "It's both, but mostly the former."
Bai Gu groaned, "Senior Zhusheng is still broad-minded and doesn't care about those people. If it were me, I would definitely fight to the death to avoid future troubles."
The middle-aged man said with a smile: "Mr. Bai is a hot-blooded young man, so he naturally thinks deeply to avoid long nights and many dreams."
Bai Gu nodded, "I'm taking Xiaoxiao with me. If I don't be ruthless, I won't be able to eat or sleep at ease. I don't want that."
The middle-aged man smiled without saying a word, picked up the teacup and took a sip of water.
Bai Gu was too lazy to pay attention to the middle-aged man and continued to ask: "Senior Zhusheng, can I take away the stone from Xinshangzhai?"
The middle-aged man glanced at Bai Gu, "Why?"
"I think that stone is very suitable for my eyes. I want it."
"Young Master Bai is sincere." The middle-aged man put down his tea cup, "But I got that huge stone at an ancient battlefield. Its value and significance are very precious. I'm afraid Mr. Bai will not be able to get what he wants."
"Can't negotiate?"
"What leverage does Mr. Bai have?"
Bai Gu twitched the corner of his mouth, after all, he still had to make a deal.
"Everything on me is basically useful, can I buy it with money? I have some white snow stones."
Since leaving Yunshui City, Bai Gu has spent a lot of money, but all he spent was the 30,000 taels of gold that he got from selling the scales of the Tuoshe Ancient Snake. He didn't touch any of the 25,000 white snow stones he exchanged for the three exercises. Pass.
"If it weren't for barter, I would charge a very high price."
"Senior Zhu Sheng, can you give me a price?"
The middle-aged man smiled slightly and said, "Young master Bai is just starting out now. His cultivation level is not high, and he doesn't have much wealth. Then I don't want to open my mouth like a lion, so I want... five thousand blue and white stones. It shouldn't be too much, right?"
Bai Gu couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth twice, and smiled, "Not high, not high."
The asking price is not high, I just can't afford it.
Five thousand blue and white stones, the exchange rate of one blue and white stone for ten thousand white snow stones, is 50 million white snow stones!
The lion opens its mouth?
Where in the world can such a big lion come from?
The middle-aged man noticed Bai Gu's embarrassment and said, "Actually, if Mr. Bai exchanges things for things, he might not have such a headache."
"Senior Zhu Sheng, are you interested in something in me?"
"Mr. Bai is a smart man and should be able to guess it." After saying that, the middle-aged man took another drink of water.
After just two sips, the water level in the tea cup did not drop at all.
Still in a position of dissatisfaction.
Bai Gu put his hands on the table and gently rubbed his right thumb, "I'm not smart enough to guess what Senior Zhu Sheng is thinking."
"My surname is Shen, my given name is Tianjin. You can just call me Senior Shen. It's too much to keep calling me Senior Zhusheng."
The middle-aged man's sudden words immediately stunned Bai Gu, and then he looked at the middle-aged man with strange eyes.
It wasn't that the middle-aged man's seemingly formal words made Bai Gu feel confused, but the name of this prime-year bamboo student seemed to be...a bit nice and down-to-earth.
Tianjin...
Why don't you just call me Tianyi? It would be more domineering at least.
The middle-aged man looked at Bai Gu, frowned slightly, but soon relaxed, and looked at Bai Gu with more curiosity.
"Zhusheng...ah, no, Senior Shen, if you like something about me, just say it directly. I don't like beating around the bush."
The middle-aged man, Shen Jin, said with a smile: "If you shake things too early and understand them too early, they won't be valuable."
Bai Gu had a headache for no reason, and stretched out his hand to rub his temples, "My cultivation level is low now, and I am in Senior Shen's courtyard formation. No matter how smart my skills are, I will still be eaten alive. Say it or not, in fact, Not bad at all.”
Shen Jin couldn't help laughing, "Master Bai, please don't slander others. I have always been kind to others, and I have never done anything like taking advantage of others. Even if I am greedy for a good item, if the other person does not want it, I will not forcefully exchange it with him. .Furthermore, if I really have the intention of taking advantage of you, how can I let you stay here overnight?"
Bai Gu shrugged, "Who knows?"
Shen Jin didn't care about the soft nails in Bai Gu's words, and said calmly: "Brother Jiang, are we really not familiar with you?"
"We have only met a few times, so I can only say that we know each other. And the atmosphere was very awkward those few times. Maybe we will get into fights when we meet in the future."
Shen Jin ignored Bai Gu's words of ignorance of life and death, and stared straight at Bai Gu, "Brother Jiang is a kind man and will not easily conflict with others."
Bai Gu couldn't help but sneer, "I don't know what he looks like, but if he had any evil intentions in Yunshui City, he would die miserably."
Shen Jin smiled slightly, obviously not believing it.
Jiang Fengmian has been his friend for many years, and he knows all about the former. With Jiang Fengmian's ability, it would be very difficult to make him die miserably.
Seeing that Shen Jin didn't believe it, Bai Gu had no choice but to take out a wooden sign and put it between his two fingers, "Just this, I think it should be enough?"
Shen Jin originally just glanced at it, but this glance made him freeze in place as if he was struck by lightning.
Just because the wooden sign was engraved with the word "Wu" using ancient calligraphy.
Shen Jin had the honor to see this character "Wu" before, and it was a profound impression that he would never forget.
Now that he is in front of his eyes, how could Shen Jin admit his mistake and not be shocked?
"Mr. Bai..."
"Hey, stop it, Senior Shen. I won't take advantage of you, and don't ask too much about my affairs. Only in this way can we be clear. Otherwise, if you interfere in this way and touch this thing, it will become a muddled account. I can't figure it out." Bai Gu put away the wooden sign and chuckled, "Not only do I risk my life to protect my food, I also like to settle accounts, and I don't like to owe favors. So, please, Senior Shen, don't think that Mr. Wu just does whatever he wants to me. , I won’t be used to it. We are just staying temporarily and leaving when the rain stops.”
Hearing Bai Gu say the word "Mr. Wu", Shen Jin was completely convinced of a certain idea.
I also missed several other ideas.
After calming down a little, Shen Jin showed a familiar smile and said, "Since Mr. Bai has said so, I will no longer do useless work. Then I will not disturb Mr. Bai's rest and go ahead."
"Senior Shen, walk slowly."
Shen Jin nodded to Bai Gu with a smile, and then disappeared in a flash of blue light.
Bai Gu twitched his lips, drank the water in the teacup, then washed the teacup that he and Shen Jin had used, put it back in its place, and then went to bed.
A dream can solve a thousand worries.
