Chapter 22: The Narcissus Palace
Gu Bai caught up with the hook.
"Hook, don't worry, Childe won't sell you. β
Hook: "I'm happy, at least it proves that this girl is still useful." β
"You might as well sharpen my ink for this use. β
At least there's a little bit of skill in it.
"That's right. Hook nodded, "Although I can eat with my face, it's not bad to eat with my talent." β
"Okay, the cheek has grown a lot. β
Hook smug, "That's Childe's teaching." β
The two of them walked back, half teasing and half boasting.
"Childe, now that the identity of the employer can't be found, what should we do?"
Gu Bai also made it difficult.
But they didn't get nothing tonight.
"At least we know that the Rat Girl has his message in her hands. β
As a person who picks stars in Yunyu Building, the mouse girl must also have account books, otherwise it will be difficult to pay to the star picking building.
"So, now we just need to find a way to get our hands on the books in the rat's hand. β
"That son, do you want to use your beautiful man's trick?"
"Go, what are you going to do, let's hire a thief too?" Gu Bai said.
Hook stopped, "No, Childe, since you have such a good method, why do you still let me go to the front of the building to greet guests?"
Gu Bai was very innocent, "I didn't just come up with it." β
The hook will be suspicious.
However, when passing by a boiled stall, the two of them each had a copy, and the hook forgot about it when he arrived.
After eating, the two continued to walk back slowly.
"That intestine is really good, soft and fat. β
"The lungs are fine, delicate, and the tofu, which is tender and flavorful. β
"It's fragrant but not fishy, it's absolutely boiled. β
Gu Bai asked the hook to write it down, "In the future, let's eat once every ten days, no, five days." β
"Good. The hook nodded.
She was also reminiscing, "That Bao Gaier is amazing, it tastes elastic and chewy, and it is really good to drink." β
They evaluated each other, reminisced, and finally touched their stomachs in unison.
"How do I feel a little hungry. Hook said.
"Then let's go back and have a meal?" Gu Bai proposed.
The hook nodded.
So the two of them turned around and walked towards the place where the stew was boiled.
It was raining, the night was still deep, there were few pedestrians on the street, and there were few drunkards.
After walking across a stone bridge, Gu Bai met a scholar coming over, holding an oil-paper umbrella and talking to the side from time to time.
What made the hook close to Gu Bai was that there was no one next to this scholar.
The three of them staggered by, and the scholar didn't even look at them.
"What, my father has become an immortal?" the scholar wondered, "Sleeping with a woman all day long, too, can you become an immortal?"
His figure gradually faded away, leaving Gu Bai and Hook looking at each other.
"This man is sick, talk to the air. Hook said.
Gu Bai nodded, "I still sleep with a woman and become an immortal, according to this, if I let go, I would have become a god." β
The stewed stall is not far away.
Poof!
They turned around and were about to walk over when they heard the sound of falling water behind them.
The two of them turned around and saw that the figure of the scholar had been lost on the arched bridge.
"I'll go. β
Gu Bai turned his head and ran onto the stone bridge, looked down, and saw that the scholar didn't shout in the water, but instinctively struggled and then burrowed into the water.
Although he is sick, he can't die without help.
Gu Bai threw the long coat to the hook, turned over and jumped off the stone bridge, like a fish, drilled into the scholar, and grabbed him from behind.
It's strange to say that the scholar didn't struggle in the water, but after being caught by Gu Bai, he struggled violently.
Gu Bai was almost dragged into the water by him.
"Your uncle. β
Gu Bai cursed, untied a section of the white cloth wrapped around his left hand, and wrapped it around the scholar's hand.
When all was in order, he surfaced and tried to drag the scholar to the nearest dock.
"Childe, be careful. The hook shouted on the bridge.
Gu Bai didn't know why, he turned around and was about to look at the hook, when his feet sank, and the person was directly caught underwater.
"Day. β
Gu Bai only felt that someone grabbed his foot and neck with his hand.
He immediately understood that he had met a water ghost.
Fortunately, Gu Baishui has a good personality and is not chaotic in the face of danger.
He remembered that a book copy once wrote a way to deal with water ghosts - river ghosts are most afraid of the word "hustle".
Gu Bai used his hand as a pen and quickly paddled through the water, and at the same time kicked under his feet.
I don't know if the word is useful, or Gu Bai broke free with a kick.
In short, Gu Baiyu generally came out of the water.
He took a breath and exhaled the turbidity.
At the same time, he caught a glimpse of a shadow coming towards him under the bridge.
Hook again, be careful.
Gu Bai didn't dare to hold it up, and quickly untied the white cloth on his left hand.
With his left hand, he can slash monsters with a sword, and he can also slash Yama.
However, Gu Bai's left hand was useless todayβwhen the shadow was approaching Gu Bai, a shadow also drilled out next to him.
The two were entangled together, making splashes one after another.
The scholar moved at this time, and he looked at the shadow of the grappling in surprise: "Dad! it's really you!"
He tried to swim towards the grappling splash, but was stopped by Gu Bai.
"Your father has really become an immortal?" Gu Bai was surprised.
However, now was not the time to pursue this, and he quickly swam to the dock with the scholar in tow.
After dragging the scholar ashore, pop, Gu Bai gave him a few slaps first to sober him up.
The splash under the stone bridge quickly calmed down, and I don't know who won whom.
Gu Bai gasped and hurriedly wrung out the clothes on his body.
The scholar's face gradually returned to clarity, and he had a panicked look, no longer numb.
He looked at the water, and his heart palpitated.
After sitting on the dock for a while, and after the shock calmed down, the scholar got up and bowed his hand to Gu Bai: "Much, thank you Gongzi for saving me." β
Gu Bai waved his hand.
If he had known that there were water ghosts in it, he would definitely not care about this scholar.
"You... What's the situation?" asked Gu Bai.
This doesn't look like his father became an immortal.
The scholar glanced at the river and said with palpitations: "I, I made an appointment with my classmates to go to the Happy Building tonight to play." β
As soon as he went out for an appointment, he met a man in black who greeted him.
The man in black said that his father had become an immortal, and he was a guest at the Narcissus Hall today, and asked him to go over and talk about his thoughts.
The scholar was groggy for some reason, and agreed to him in a daze.
The man in black told him to go back and get more money so that he could honor his father, and he agreed.
After the scholar took the silver, he went out with the man in black and walked all the way to the stone bridge.
Just now, he saw a palace on the water, resplendent with gold, and several gorgeous women dancing in the temple.
His father was in it.
The man in black said that his father had been waiting for him for a long time and told him to hurry down.
So, without saying a word, the scholar climbed over the stone bridge and jumped into the water.
As for Gu Bai's struggle when he saved him.
"I was walking towards the Narcissus Palace, and suddenly I felt that my body was pulled, and when I looked back, a green-skinned fish demon opened its mouth as if it wanted to eat me. β
So, the scholar struggled violently.
When the man in black went to clean up the green-skinned fish demon (Gu Bai), the scholar's father appeared on the other side and shouted at him: "Run, he is a water ghost!"
Then his father was entangled with the man in black.
Speaking of this, the scholar bowed his hand to Gu Bai again: "Thank you for your life-saving grace." β
