Chapter Twenty-Three: Xiqiao Academy

"What's not gracious. Gu Bai waved his hand.

The hook ran over and handed the long coat to Gu Bai.

"That is, if you don't want to go, just invite us to a meal. ”

"You little slave, don't you know if you do good deeds without asking for anything in return?" Gu Bai put on his long coat and glared at the hook.

He turned back to the scholar and said, "It's not too expensive, it's good to boil it in front." ”

"Huh?"

The scholar was stunned by their singing and harmony.

After a moment, he reacted, "Oh, good, Cheng..."

"But", he looked at the two of them, "Isn't it too shabby to boil, or let's go to Happy Building?"

Happy House is the largest restaurant in Yuhang City, the food is full of color and fragrance, and those who climb the building are either rich or expensive.

If it was the past, Gu Bai would have really agreed to go to the Happy Building.

But now Gu Bai doesn't want to, their gluttonous insects are now all boiled.

"Just boil. ”

Gu Bai said that he cut gold and cut iron.

"Okay. ”

The scholar finally glanced at the river reluctantly, and followed Gu Bai to the stone bridge again.

Hook Zi approached Gu Bai at this time, "Childe, you said that this Narcissus Palace, is it the same thing as the Narcissus that Lao Wang wants to investigate?"

Gu Bai nodded, there is this possibility.

But to say that this water ghost is a narcissus, Gu Bai feels that it is too.

Fahai led one hundred and eighty people and disappeared in one night, and this ghost could even be repelled by Gu Bai, it was impossible for him to do it.

According to Fahai's divination book, after drowning a person, he practiced some kind of divination by the river, and he could get the guidance of narcissus.

I think there should be many drowned water ghosts under Narcissus.

This water ghost is probably one of them.

"Do you want to tell Wang?" asked Hook.

"Tell him tomorrow, but..."Gu Bai didn't think Wang Shouyi could find out anything.

The netherworld is too illusory, Wang Shouyi is a head catcher, not a person from the Demon Suppression Division, and it is difficult to find useful clues by ordinary means.

Of course, this news is not without merit.

At least they knew about the Narcissus Temple.

When Gu Bai and the others arrived at the boiled stall, the stall owner was about to close the stall - because it was a rainy day, there were few customers.

Fortunately, the stall owner prepared enough ingredients.

Seeing that Gu Bai and their wealthy people wanted to wrap up the round, the stall owner was overjoyed, and he was busy opening the stall that had been put away.

"Someone paid the bill today, hooked, let go of eating. ”

Gu Bai waved his hand and asked the stall owner to bring two large bowls.

The hook is not far behind, and the three bowls are placed in front of you first.

As for the scholar, he glanced at the stall and saw that the intestines and lungs boiled in the boiled food looked too strange, and he couldn't help frowning.

He went in and out of the Happy Building, and he didn't dare to compliment him when he went into the water, and he always felt that it was not very clean to eat.

Gu Bai and Hook didn't bother to greet him.

They threw off their arms and ate with hot air, and the juice flowed between their mouths.

After Gu Bai swallowed a bowl, "Whew, cool!"

He asked the stall owner to bring another bowl, and when he looked back, he saw the scholar staring at them, ready to move.

"Why don't you come some?" Gu Bai asked him.

"Taste it, it's delicious. Gu Bai strongly invited him.

The scholar's throat squirmed.

He was originally very worried in his heart, but when he saw Gu Bai and the hook gobbling up, his index finger couldn't help but move.

Especially Gu Bai, who is long and chic, graceful, and soft as jade.

Such a humble son is not shy about it, and he has no reason to shy away.

So the scholar said cautiously, "Then, I'll come, come some?"

"Come on!"

Gu Bai greeted the stall owner and served it to the scholars.

After a while, the two of them turned into three people.

Under the dim light, the heat coming out of the stall drifted into the rain curtain, which was exceptionally warm.

"Whew, it's delicious, it's delicious. ”

The scholar beckoned the stall owner to bring another bowl.

His soaked body was no longer so cold under the moisture of boiling.

"It's delicious. Gu Bai was proud, "This is the best stall I've ever eaten." ”

"Uh-huh. ”

The hook nodded.

"Our son is the most particular about eating, and if this can come out of his mouth, it means that it is really delicious. ”

The scholar was curious, "Childe is very particular about eating?"

"That's it. ”

Gu Bai was proud, "It's not that I'm boasting, in the entire Yuhang City, there is no food I don't know." ”

"That Happy Building..."

As soon as the scholar spoke, Gu Bai interrupted him and beckoned, "Come, eat, eat." ”

Gou Zi glanced at the scholar, "You don't open any pot, do you think our son is a person who can afford to eat happy buildings?"

"You talk a lot. ”

Gu Bai pressed the head of the hook into the bowl and told her to eat quickly.

The scholar scratched his head, hurriedly brushed the topic over, and chatted about Gu Bai's livelihood.

Gu Bai did not shy away from this, and bluntly told him that he was copying books.

He also told the scholar the location of the store, "If your classmates and friends have something to read, remember to find me." ”

"Definitely, definitely. The scholar agreed, but he was a little lacking in confidence.

The scholar soon reported himself to his home.

His surname is Li, his name is Fuyou, and he is now studying at Xiqiao Academy, the only academy in Yuhang City.

Gu Bai nodded.

Those who study at the academy are either rich or expensive.

This scholar is also named Li Fuyou, doesn't this tell him that he is very rich?

Gu Bai didn't care about it at the moment, and beckoned the stall owner to continue.

After eating the stall owner's ingredients, the two of them had a round belly before they said goodbye to Li Fuyou.

They wore oil-paper umbrellas, slowly moving back, burping from time to time.

At this point, the night was late.

There was no one on the road, only the sound of drizzling rain.

The two chatted and joked, when they were about to get to the bookstore.

Meow.

A cat suddenly fell from the tree next to him, put down the thing in his mouth, and barked at Gu Bai.

This cat was dressed in black hair, Gu Bai had fed it during the day, and recognized it as Grandma Yu's cat.

"Old Hei, in the middle of the night, what are you doing here?" Gu Bai asked.

The black cat didn't answer, but barked a few times behind Gu Bai.

Gu Bai and Hook turned their heads in unison.

Behind them was empty, and no one was in sight.

The two of them turned around.

"Ahh

The hook was frightened and stepped back, while Gu Bai retreated faster.

In front of them, one step away, where the black cat was standing, a figure appeared at some point.

"What are you shouting, at such a young age, you have such a small guts. The figure looked up tremblingly.

Her voice was hoarse, full of vicissitudes, and there was a sense of evil.

However, when Gu Bai and Gou Zi heard this voice, their hearts relaxed.

"Oh, Grandma Yu, you scared me to death. The hook patted his little chest.

Meow.

The black cat comes out from behind Grandma Fish's legs, as if mocking the cowardice of the hook.

"Grandma, it's so late, what are you doing when you come out?" Gu Bai asked.

"Collect the fish. ”

Grandma Yu said, bent down to pick up a fish under her feet, and threw it into the bucket on the side.

Gu Bai took a look, and there was a splash of water in the bucket from time to time, obviously there were a lot of fish.

"Come out in the middle of the night to catch fish?" Gu Bai wondered.

Yuhang City is rich, and you can catch many fish by picking up a small river at will.

Therefore, it is not uncommon for the fish grandmother to catch fish from the river, but it is unusual to catch fish at this hour.

Not to mention that water ghosts are particularly active at night, but if the river embankment is slippery, you should not come to fish at night.
