Early in the morning, in a remote thatched hut halfway up the hillside, Bai Gu was woken up by shaking, and what caught his eyes was a beautiful little face, and the girl in front of him said timidly: "It's dawn, hurry up and send me away, right?"

Bai Gu rubbed his eyes twice, although this sleep was not long, but he made up for a little bit of energy, he basically didn't close his eyes in the past few days, and looked at Liu Yun'er carefully after getting up, at this moment her eyes were a little sleepy and sluggish, she should have not slept all night, and thought that this girl was definitely not a child of a poor family, although the gray and white clothes did not fit on her body, her hands and face were white and clean, and her small body exuded a delicate atmosphere.

The humidity is not exhausted, the coolness is full, the sky is slowly turning white, Bai Gu walked out of the house, when he came to this small courtyard last night, all the objects in the courtyard were neatly placed, Liu Yuner was familiar with the road and pulled Bai Gu into the house, knowing that this girl was very familiar with this place, there happened to be two beds in the house, one for one person, Bai Gu asked some about the general situation of the village, Liu Yuner told them one by one, and slowly Bai Gu was sleepy and didn't know when he fell asleep.

Looking at the east, west, north and south, all the houses in the village are scorched and black, and the few wooden houses that have survived are particularly prominent, Bai Gu felt a silence and death, perhaps related to the fact that he knew about the tragic incident that happened last night, and the psychological effect.

found a clean piece of land, and didn't care that Liu Yun'er followed him behind him, sat on the spot, and began to run the spiritual attraction cycle Zhou Tian, the plan of the day lies in the morning, and this great time cannot be wasted.

Liu Yun'er wanted to speak several times, but each time she opened her small mouth and closed it again, she saw Bai Gu sitting silently and with her heart to the sky, as if she had the meaning of not moving for a long time, thinking that this poor Taoist priest should be practicing, her head turned smartly, she picked up the wooden bucket in the small courtyard, and walked outside, after a long time, she carried a small half bucket of water and moved into the courtyard step by step, put down the bucket and ran out without knowing what to do.

When the sun hung high, Bai Gu exhaled a breath of turbidity, feeling the spiritual power in his body, his heart was very steady, he opened his eyes and got up, and found that Liu Yun'er was not in the courtyard or in the house, there was a plate of dried meat, a plate of wild vegetables and two steamed buns on the wooden table in the small courtyard, all of which were cold, and there was a small half bucket of water next to the wooden table, which was prepared by Liu Yun'er.

Without thinking about anything, Bai Gu washed his face first, and then finished eating, at this time Liu Yun'er walked in from outside the courtyard, carrying a long cloth backpack that did not match him, and said, "Is it enough to eat?"

"Enough, you've packed it up?" Bai Gu nodded in response.

Liu Yun'er sighed, lowered her head and rolled her eyes, raised her head for a moment and said, "Qingfeng Dao Chief, I got a shirt for you, can you put it on?"

Bai Gu smiled and thanked him, and directly put the long shirt on himself, and when he wore it, he found that it was only enough to cover half of his calves, and it turned out that he had unknowingly grown a few inches taller.

Liu Yun'er smiled apologetically when she saw it, "When the Taoist sends me to the place, I will buy the most beautiful clothes for the Taoist chief." ”

Bai Gu smiled and said okay, the two cleaned up and walked out of the yard, Liu Yun'er thought that Bai Gu would take him out of the village directly, but he didn't expect Bai Gu to go to the village compound where the body was burned last night.

To the flat place of the half-slope, I saw that the ground was full of white ash, some of the blood stains everywhere were dry, some became large black scabs, the smell of blood was not so strong, Bai Gu walked into the middle of the ashes, the breeze blew, the dust drifted away, and the feet revealed an emerald jade pendant that was not burned by the fire, looking at the craftsmanship is not superb, not a valuable jewelry.

Liu Yun'er saw this jade pendant, her eyes were red, she really held back her tears, her eyes flashed a touch of perseverance for a moment, Bai Gu saw it in her eyes, handed her the jade pendant, and said, 'Let's go'.

Walking a few steps away, running the spiritual power, with a loud shout, a spiritual whirlwind was released, and all the ashes on this ground flew all over the sky, drifting away with the wind, and then Bai Gu turned around and walked, Liu Yun'er put away her surprised face and followed the footsteps.

※※※※※※

The scorching sun was scorching, and on a forked official road that I didn't know how far away from Luyin Village, two figures, one big and one small, stopped, Bai Gu asked Liu Yun'er how to go, Liu Yun'er looked at the two east-west forked roads except for the different directions, the rest were no different. Her eyes flickered, she looked left and right, pointed to the road heading west, and said, "Go this way." ”

The two walked for a while, Liu Yun'er slowly stopped, Bai Gu thought she was tired again, so she stood in place and began to rest.

Liu Yun'er walked in front of Bai Gu and was silent for a moment, sweat flowed down her back and neck, her entire short clothes were soaked, her little hands were red from the sun, and her two pairs of embroidered shoes were covered with dust.

"Qingfeng Dao Chief, I just remembered, I seem to have misremembered the way, we should take the one just now, let's rest and eat something first. Liu Yun'er lowered her head and unwrapped her long cloth back and took out a bag of food, handed it to Bai Gu, her eyes met with Bai Gu for a moment, and she avoided it for a moment, shaking her head and looking around.

Bai Gu didn't take this bag of food, but quietly looked at the girl in front of her, Liu Yun'er saw that the things in her hand were not taken away, she had to look at Bai Gu, seeing Bai Gu staring at herself, Liu Yun'er lowered her head and waited for a while, took back the paper bag, and said, 'If you are not hungry, you will eat later', and then put the food back in the long cloth and wrapped it in a knot.

Bai Gu has been looking at her, and now she knows, maybe she doesn't know how to go, along the way, she offered to carry the package for her three times, but she didn't get her wish, the consequence of strong self-support is that the back ankle of this girl has been worn out at this time, and the blood is reflected in the socks, although she said that she would ask a lot of questions last night, but she has not said a few words since she came out of the village today, Bai Gu has an idea in his heart.

In this world, the way is out, the slightest carelessness is the way of life and death, the master and brother in the mountain gate have told themselves many times in the past, the death of the whole village in Luyin Village is related to this Liu Yun'er, how can Bai Gu not think about it, from last night to now, this girl has not said a word about the cause of the tragedy, since the early morning until now, her attitude towards herself has been attentive, this is no longer the performance that an ordinary child should have.

"Don't you know how to go?" Bai Gu broke the silence with this sentence.

Liu Yun'er hurriedly said: "No, how could I not know, I just remembered for a while, that is, I took the road just now, if you don't believe it, follow me." ”

After that, he walked with the package on his back, walked more than ten steps, walked slower and slower, and then stopped, turned his little body, his eyes were red, tears flowed out, and he sat on the ground and sobbed and cried, saying, "I'm sorry, I lied to you."

For a moment, looking at that little figure, Bai Gu felt distressed, this cry reminded him of his junior brother, the little light who accompanied him to practice and play together, slowly stepped forward, squatted down, put the long sword on the ground, took off the girl's little shoes, revealing the red and purple feet, stretched out his hand to urge the spiritual power, and the rejuvenation trick was unleashed, and the blue-green light restored the two little feet that were bleeding from the ankles in a while, and Bai Gu put shoes on her again.

Liu Yun'er stopped crying in surprise, this magical scene and that ordinary and clear face were imprinted in her heart for a moment, and she heard a bright laugh in her ears: "I, a poor Taoist priest, don't just play with fire~"

The little girl felt the warmth she hadn't felt for a long time at this moment, and there may still be joy in her heart, so she didn't know why she burst into laughter.

After that, Liu Yuner told him all the experience.

There are more than 80 cities under the rule of Da Jiang Guo, which are guarded and managed by the nine kings of the dynasty, among which Tianshui City, which is guarded by Liu Yehou, is the richest, and Liu Yun'er is the youngest daughter of Liu Yehou. I don't know why there will be wars in the big Jiang country every few years, sometimes it is internal war, sometimes it is war with other countries, the latest war is caused by Liu Yehou and another king of the opposite sex in the country, half a year ago the two parties fought because of a treasure, the end was that Liu Yehou was defeated, Tianshui City was taken, most of the Liu family was slaughtered, Liu Yuner's nurse took her all the way away, and finally fled to Luyin Village under the Qilian Mountains to be taken in by the village chief and given a place to live.

The mountains of Qilian are endless, Liu Yuner doesn't know how big this mountain range is, she has lived in Luyin Spring for half a year, it should be which villager leaked the news, that group of royal guards came on horseback, asking the villagers to hand over the treasures, Liu Yuner, who was cooking at the village chief's house, hurriedly hid Liu Yuner in the water tank, took the treasure from Liu Yuner and walked out and handed it to them, the group of people verified the authenticity of the treasure, and the cold light in their eyes flashed, they actually wanted to slaughter the village and extinguish the mouth, fortunately Liu Yuner was hidden early and saved from death.

The treasure is a black bead, which will flash red on the night of the full moon, this is Liu Yehou's eight-year-old birthday gift to Liu Yun'er, saying that it will be of great use when she is two years old, but unfortunately she still failed to keep it in the end, which is fortunate to be handed over, otherwise the group of people will have to carefully check the whole village, how can Liu Yun'er survive.

It is said that the village chief is not a good person, and every few days he forces Liu Yun'er's nurse to sleep in the same room with him, and I think it is also, how can the woman in the prince's mansion be ordinary, Bai Gu just sighed, it is not easy to distinguish between good and evil in the world.

Tianshui City is still separated from Luyin Village by two cities, their mother and son have been through hardships for more than half a year, and several times are full of dangers, all of which are barely survived by the woman's various means, but after all, she is a weak woman who has no force to support herself, and in the end only a piece of emerald jade pendant remains.

The place where Liu Yun'er is going is only known to be called Xiaoyu Mountain, which is far, far away from Tianshui City, her second brother is in Xiaoyu Mountain Linghu Sect to learn martial arts, this is her only relative, since Bai Gu promised to send her there, she naturally has to do it, I don't know how to go on the road, but you might as well follow one to the end first.

As soon as I left, I walked to the dark, but fortunately, Bai Gu had already seen a small city, and woke up Liu Yun'er, who was asleep on her back, "Yun'er, look, there is a small town called Yangcheng in front, and we have a place to settle tonight." ”

Liu Yun'er was also very happy, saying that she had regained her strength, got off Bai Gu's back, and pulled Bai Gu to walk quickly towards the city gate.

There were only five pawns guarding the city, and when they saw that two beggars, one big and one small, wanted to enter the city, they stopped and said that they had to pay silver, but they didn't say how much they paid, Bai Gu knew that this was not the meaning of not giving in, so he asked how much he wanted to pay, and the pawn at the head said that he had two taels of silver, and Bai Gu was worried.

Liu Yun'er put the long cloth package on the ground, opened it openly and took out the silver bag, and complained: "I didn't come so much last time, my father's hunting team is behind, this time I came from Tianshui City and brought a lot of gifts to give to the mansion master, the silver will be given to you first, don't be greedy for double shares when they come later." ”

After that, he gave two taels of silver to the pawn at the head, pulled Bai Gu and said loudly: "Brother, let's go, you see that the clothes that came out of the mountains are all torn like this, let's go into the city to change new clothes." ”

Bai Gu followed in, and the guards looked uncertain, and finally didn't say anything and let them go.

In a corner of the city, Liu Yun'er touched her chest and calmed down, "It's so dangerous, Brother Qingfeng, am I smart?"

Bai Gu smiled: "Haha, I have already learned your intelligence. ”

The city is brightly lit, and there are not a few people on the street, Bai Gu and Liu Yun'er first bought two ordinary and clean clothes, and then went to the inn to rent a house, and bought a map at the grocery store, this map is quite detailed, and the general terrain of Dajiang Country is clearly marked with cities, mountains, temples, etc.

Back to the inn, eating, Bai Gu looked at the map carefully, Liu Yun'er calculated that there was not much silver left in her hand, and everything was difficult to do without money, this is the truth she realized in the past six months, she used to be pampered in the Hou Mansion, and she didn't suffer from birth to eight years old in the past half a year, and realized the difference between the prince's children and the poor people, and secretly regretted that she should go out of Luyin Village to turn over all the villagers' ruined houses, and always find more silver.

Washed and went to bed, blew out the lamp, and lay on the bed, her tired body could finally rest, Liu Yun'er was very happy, but she slept on Bai Gu for a while in the afternoon, and she couldn't sleep for the time being, so she looked at the white-haired boy on the bed opposite, although she couldn't see it in the dark light, but his appearance was already imprinted in her heart.

Bai Gu felt Liu Yun'er's gaze and said, "Yun'er, can't you sleep?"

"Well, Brother Qingfeng, are you Taoist priests not allowed to get married?" Liu Yuner asked.

Bai Gu didn't expect her to ask this, and he was a little embarrassed for a while, "Daoist priest...... There are also many factions, and I can do this. ”

The child's curiosity was opened, and he basically couldn't hold it back, and Liu Yun'er was the same, "Then where is your Taoist temple?

Bai Gu thought for a while and replied: "It's also the first time I've come out of such a far place, the Taoist temple I am in is far away from here, on a very high mountain in Qingyun Country, there are only two senior brothers, and their magic skills are stronger than mine. ”

Qingyun Country is what Bai Gu saw on the map, and it is a neighbor of the Great Jiang Country, and until now, Bai Gu has not been able to compile and arrange a reasonable and normal identity for himself, because he has no understanding of this state border, and there is no way to make it up.

Afraid that Liu Yun'er would continue to ask, Bai Gu changed the topic, "Xiaoyu Mountain is in the Black Cloud City in the north of the Great Jiang Country, thousands of miles away from here, and it will take three or four months to walk at our speed, and I will send you when the time comes, I will walk by the way for another two months out of the Great Jiang Country and I will go to our Taoist Temple, this road is full of mountains and rivers, but you have to suffer a lot, are you afraid?"

"Don't be afraid, there is Brother Qingfeng here, Brother Qingfeng is a good person, when I see the second brother, let him send someone to send you home." Liu Yun'er promised.

Bai Gu smiled in response, thinking that it would not be easy to travel a thousand miles, "Go to bed early and get up early tomorrow." ”

"Yes!"

Waiting for Liu Yun'er's snoring sounded, Bai Gu began to think about how to arrange the days in the future, taking stock of the objects on his body, in addition to the Imperial Wood Order, Kui Mu Beads, the Four Spell Cheats, the Nameless Long Sword, and the Blue Piccolo, there was only one firewood puppet storage ring left that had not been touched, and now the most important thing for Bai Gu was to obtain information about the state boundary and cultivate various practical tactics to improve the realm, one more point of ability, one more point of survival, and one more point of hope to return to Lushan.

The night passed quickly, Bai Gu got up early to practice, and when the bustling streets outside the inn sounded, Bai Gu and Liu Yun'er had already packed their things, "Yun'er, let's go, the ancients, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, I hope we can see your brother soon." ”
