Bai Gu thought for a while, but still didn't know where to go.

Ant Hall does not have Mr. Tang's storytelling field today, and I can't listen to storytelling. The old beggar is not in the city either, so there is no way to play with him.

It's boring.

Bai Gu let go of his fist and put his hands into his sleeves.

In other words, he had to hurry up at this time to find a way, find an opportunity to change some food, and get home before dark, so as to ensure that Bai Xiaoxiao would not be fainted from hunger. You can also go home early to play with Bai Xiaoxiao, so that she will not be afraid at home alone.

Bai Xiaoxiao has been timid and afraid of the dark since she was a child.

And now, Bai Gu has money, so he doesn't have to worry about eating and drinking, and he no longer has to worry about eating and working hard.

However, Bai Xiaoxiao was lying unconscious in the Changzhou Pharmacy, and there was no need to go back to accompany her earlier.

It seems that now, Bai Gu has nothing to do.

Bai Gu raised his head slightly, and a snowflake fell on the tip of his nose. Before Bai Gu raised his hand to sweep it away, it had already melted, leaving only a little coolness.

Bai Gu stretched out his hand and touched the tip of his nose, thinking of someone in his heart.

You can go there and check it out.

"What do you want to drink?" The young man trotted and came to a man in a moon-white robe.

The man looked around, and a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes, "Where is your private room?" ”

"Upstairs, the second floor is elegant, the third floor is spacious, how many floors does the guest officer want to go to?" The young man grinned.

The big money is coming.

"The higher, the better." The man glanced at the wine list and was slightly surprised, "There is Yuzhu spring saliva here?" ”

"Yes, we have ten years of brewing, decades of brewing, and a hundred years of brewing here, and the guest officer wants that?" The young man smiled even more.

This, this, this...... That's definitely a lot of money!

Yuzhu spring saliva is one of the best wines in the nine halls, and the price is not low.

This must be served, and maybe there will be a tip!

The man's brows furrowed slightly, "Don't talk nonsense, the longer the better." ”

With that, the man went straight upstairs.

The young man hurriedly asked people to follow, and he went to the counter to place an order for wine.

Not long after the man sat down, the young man came in with a blue and white swimming fish pot.

"Guest officer, this is a two-hundred-year-old Yuzhu spring saliva brew, please use it slowly. There is a maid outside the private room, and you can call her if you have any other needs. The young man put down the flask and left with a sense of humor.

The man poured himself a glass of wine, took a sip, and immediately frowned.

Just then, there was a knock at the door.

"Come in." The man threw down the cup vigorously, his tone full of impatience.

Pushing the door in, it was a man in a green shirt.

The man in the green shirt smiled, and took out a jade-inlaid cloud pot in his hand as if by magic, "The subordinates are not sensible, and they can't take the wine on the table to fool the seniors, the seniors forgive me." ”

The man in the robe just glanced at it, and his face softened a little, "A little bit of eyesight." ”

"Be careful, as long as the seniors don't dislike it." The man in the green shirt still smiled, but he just stood at the table and did not sit down.

Or rather, don't dare to sit down.

The man in the robe glanced at the man in the green shirt, and then at the cyan gourd on the latter's waist, and smiled meaningfully, "You wine gourd, not bad." ”

"The seniors have won the prize, it's just improvised." The smile on the man in the green shirt deepened, "Then I won't bother the seniors." I'm in the tavern, and if you need it, you can just call me. ”

The robed man nodded, and drank to himself.

The man in the green shirt didn't care, put away the pot of 200-year-old jade bamboo spring saliva and withdrew from the door.

There was not even a sound of the door closing.

The man in the robe looked out the window and drank all the wine in his cup, "This Yunshui City is really interesting, this trip is not a loss." ”

Wu Lao pushed the door and entered, walking straight to the seats in the reception area.

A purple-robed middle-aged man with slightly frosty temples immediately stood up and bowed to Elder Wu with a smile, "Elder Wu, I have admired my name for a long time. ”

After Wu Lao sat down, he just waved his hand, his face full of impatience, "Don't talk about these things that you don't have, just say if you have something to say, if it's okay, I still have patients, and I have to be busy." ”

The purple-robed man didn't care about Wu Lao's words, and said unhurriedly: "This visit is to discuss with Wu Lao on important matters. ”

"I don't seem to have anything to do with you, do I?"

"That's true. However, there is indeed something important here today. ”

Wu Lao's face was expressionless, "Said." ”

"This visit is to ask Wu Lao for a person, a ......"

Before the purple-robed man finished speaking, he was interrupted by Wu Lao raising his hand, "Impossible, don't even think about it." ”

"Old Wu, don't you refuse so quickly, don't you want to listen to the conditions given here?"

"Okay, bring me that thing from yours, and I'll think about it."

The purple-robed man's face changed, "Impossible!" Old Wu, this is difficult for a strong man! ”

Wu Lao sneered, "You can't show sincerity, this is your attitude towards talking about things?" ”

The purple-robed man's face was obviously not very good, "Elder Wu, I respect you for your high morality, so you are so good-natured, otherwise you ......"

"Or else? How else? Do you still want to rob people in my hands? Do you think about it, where is this and who am I?! ”

As he spoke, an extremely powerful momentum rose up in Old Wu's body, like an angry lion.

The purple-robed man's face became more and more ugly, and he forgot that this was the other party's territory.

What's more, the other party is......

The purple-robed man waved at Wu Laoyi, "I'm sorry Wu Lao, I'm out of shape." ”

Wu Lao sneered and did not answer.

The purple-robed man took a deep breath and sighed lightly. He knew that he had just said the wrong thing, and there would definitely be no way to talk about it today, and it would be useless to talk about it again.

He had no choice but to bow his hand to Wu Laoyi and apologize: "Wu Lao, I lost my words today and offended you." Please wait until you go back next time to rethink it, bring enough sincerity, and come back another day. ”

Wu Lao snorted and responded as a response.

"Say goodbye below."

When the purple-robed man walked to the door, Wu Lao's voice came from behind, "Go back and think clearly, what do you want to talk about, and who you want." Also, don't you think, I don't know who that person is, do you? ”

The purple-robed man was stunned for a moment, his body visibly tensed, and then as if he thought of something, he immediately walked away quickly.

Wu Lao sat on the Taishi chair, with a smile on his face, a leisurely expression, and closed his eyes to recuperate.

——————

Bai Gu carried a small oiled paper bag and stood under a banyan tree that was not very tall, but large enough for one or two people to shade.

Under the tree, a little girl sat on her knees, holding a very worn lute, one of which had broken strings.

When the little girl heard someone coming, she raised her head and looked around, but she didn't notice that Bai Gu was standing in front of her.

If you look closely, the little girl's eyes are only the whites of the eyes!

Blind in both eyes!

Bai Gu stepped forward, put the oiled paper bag beside the little girl, and said softly: "It's me, Bai Gu." ”

The little girl smiled, but there was some inconspicuous disappointment, "Big Brother Bai, it's you!" ”

"Well, I bought you some buns, let's eat them."

Bai Gu naturally sat next to the little girl, and the latter did not resist, reached out and touched the oiled paper bag, picked up a bun and ate it.

She was really hungry.

Bai Gu looked at the little girl with mixed feelings.

In fact, Bai Gu and the little girl are not familiar with each other, but they have only met a few times. The one who "bridged the line" between them was an old beggar.

The old beggar wanders around this Yunshui City every day, and it is not unusual to meet the little girl.

But the old beggar seemed to be very interested in the little girl, or rather very interested, and ran to her when he had time, chatting with her and making fun of her, and passing the time. The little girl was also very fond of the old beggar, and every time the latter came, she was delighted.

Bai Gu once came to chat with the old beggar, and the old beggar was about to play with the little girl, so the two went together.

After coming and going, Bai Gu and the little girl also got to know each other.

The old beggar said that the little girl was under the banyan tree before he met her. And those eyes, too, I heard that they have been blind since childhood.

It was because of these eyes that the little girl was abandoned here by her parents at a very young age.

Another hard-working child.

This was Bai Gu's first thought at that time.

In fact, Bai Gu also wanted to take the little girl home.

He grew up beside Mrs. Bai since he was a child, and under the influence of his ears and eyes, he also became soft-hearted, and he couldn't see the children who were abandoned being cold and starving outside.

I want to do my best to help them, but I also don't want the tragedy that happened to me to happen to others again.

If it has already happened, then stop the tragedy from happening.

But the little girl refused.

She just wanted to wait here, she didn't want to, she didn't want to go anywhere else.

Her parents had let her stay here, and they would come back to her when they were away for a while. She was very obedient and stood in place, waiting for her parents to return.

But years have passed.

The little girl was still waiting, but her parents were gone.

In the past few years, the little girl did not dare to leave the vicinity of the banyan tree, for fear that her parents would suddenly come back to pick her up, but she was not here and passed by her parents.

So when Bai Gu offered to take her home, she decisively refused.

But a little girl, who has nowhere to go and just wants to stay where she is, food, clothing and shelter have become the biggest problem.

Living and wearing are very easy to solve.

At the foot of the banyan tree there are two roots stretched out, forming a mouth with the trunk, just enough to accommodate a person to lie down, and the little girl sleeps under the banyan tree every night. As for dressing, the little girl took the torn quilt and torn clothes she picked up from the garbage heap to make mattresses, quilts, and clothes, and she could make do with it.

It's just that eating gives people a headache.

The little girl stayed under the banyan tree every day, and sometimes she played the worn-out pipa in her hand to relieve her boredom. Usually the food basically depends on the alms of well-meaning passers-by, sometimes it is a small bun, sometimes it is a few copper plates, sometimes it is a bowl of rice that is about to go rancid.

But this is not often, more often the little girl is starving, sometimes not drinking a drop of water for three days.

The best weather for little girls is rain and snow. Because of the rain and snow, she didn't have to pray or beg for alms, at least without worrying about going hungry.

She gathers the rain and snow from the ground.

She doesn't take the initiative to find food, and naturally she doesn't ask for charity from others.

She just wanted her parents to come back and take her home.

As for the rest, she didn't think it mattered.

These Bai Gu all knew, and both he and the old beggar had a headache for the little girl's stubbornness.

He is not very old, but his temper is quite strong.

I'd rather starve to death and die of thirst than leave the banyan tree for half a step.

The old beggar was angry with the little girl because of this, and gave the little girl a bastard name.

In vain.

All wishes and desires are in vain.

But the little girl didn't care about it, but was quite happy. Because when her parents left, although she already had a name, she still can't remember it.

Isn't it fun to have a new name now and it's easy to remember?

And begging in vain, isn't it white in the world, asking for something? What a moral implication!

Bai Gu and the old beggar were completely silent by the little girl.

Bai Gu is because the little girl is not very old, and she refutes people's words one by one, and she is so educated, is she a daughter from a big family?

The old beggar was simply silenced by the little girl's misinterpretation of his original meaning. At the same time, it was also because his original intention of naming the little girl was too bastard, but the little girl understood the name with a beautiful interpretation, which made him feel bad in his heart.

It was then that the old beggars came to the little girl more often.

For nothing else, the old beggar just wanted to accompany the little girl and wait for her parents to come back, so that she would not be so lonely.

Of course, I was also afraid that the little girl would be hungry without food.

Now that the old beggar has left Yunshui City, let him bear this responsibility for Bai Gu.

After all, he couldn't see the little girl waiting for her parents and starving and cold, and he couldn't stand by while knowing that there was such a situation.

The little girl nibbled on the bun and didn't look up, as if she didn't need to, didn't need to look up, "Big Brother Bai, where is the old man?" He hadn't been here for days. ”

Bai Gu looked at the sky, "He left, left here, and went to a very distant place." ”

"Far away? Where? Did he say it? ”

"No, he was in a hurry, and I didn't go into the city at the time, so I didn't meet him." Bai Gu shook his head, his eyes full of regret.

It's a pity, otherwise I could have asked the old guy to give me a meal when he was leaving.

Tsk, what a pity.

"I also thought that if Big Brother Bai knew where the old man went, my parents would take me home in the future, and I could go to see the old man." The little girl finished eating the buns, holding her cheeks with both hands, yearning for a better life after her future parents came to pick her up.

Bai Gu smiled, "There will be that day, I believe that day will come soon." ”

The little girl turned her head and smiled, "It's so good, when I go back, Big Brother Bai will come to my house often to play!" ”

"Okay, I'll go when I have time."

The little girl said that her home in Fuhecheng is a very beautiful and happy place, and she must visit her house when she has time.

Bai Gu also learned from the little girl, holding her cheeks with her hands, smiling, but her eyes were full of complexity, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

At this time, a voice broke into the ears of the two.

"What are you bothering about, two? Do you need to be informed by the poor road? ”
