30, Dongyang City
Bai Gu clasped his hands in his sleeves, his eyes narrowed slightly, "Before I make a move, I advise you to get out of here, it's good for you and me." ”
The young Taoist suddenly bent down and leaned his face closer to Bai Gu, "Do you want to know where the old guy has gone?" ”
Bai Gu looked up at the young Taoist's inexplicably annoying face, thought silently for a while, and finally stretched out his hand, slammed it hard, and slapped the young Taoist fiercely.
It's all telling you to get out of here, don't you just don't want to see you? Not only did he not leave, but he also leaned his face over, isn't this looking for a fight?
A slap is considered light.
"Oh, what are you doing!" The young Taoist covered his left cheek and said bitterly.
"You like to talk about it, if you don't say it, get out of here."
The young Taoist was full of grievances and sat next to Bai Gu like an angry little daughter-in-law.
It's just about a few meters away.
"The old fellow had an old man who died, and he went to mourn." The young Taoist covered the left side of his face with one hand, and gently patted off the snow on the hem of his robe with the other.
Today's snow is really a bit heavy, isn't it just the beginning of winter? Why is it snowing so heavily, I'm afraid it won't be generally cold this year.
One more padded coat.
"Important to the old guy?"
Old friend? I haven't heard the old guy mention it, but this god can't joke about this kind of thing, right?
Although it is also possible.
This kind of person is underwhelmed.
"How to put it, it's about the same as your relationship with Xiaoxiao, you can understand it this way."
Bai Gu glared at the young Taoist, "Don't call my sister's name nonsense, she doesn't know you well." ”
The young Taoist touched his nose and smiled awkwardly.
"Far away?"
"Huh?" The young Taoist didn't react for a while.
"The old guy went far away?" Bai Gu reluctantly made his words clear.
"Oh, that's true. For you, it's far away, and it's not generally far. The young Taoist thought for a moment, as if he was thinking about the distance between the two places.
"For me?" Bai Gu muttered suspiciously.
The little girl interjected at this time, "Uncle, where did the old man go?" Maybe I've heard of it. ”
The young Taoist immediately got up, trotted away, and sat down next to the little girl, "Dongyang City, where the old guy went, Xiao Baiqiu, you should have heard of it, right?" Poor Dao remembers mentioning it to you before. ”
"Remember, and I've heard of Dongyang City before, it's close to the sea, and I've heard people say that the sunrise is beautiful! I'd like to check it out when I have the chance. ”
As soon as these words came out, even a young Taoist with a loose heart couldn't help but be silent for a while.
A blind man wants to see the sunrise?
What a ridiculous and pathetic fantasy.
What's the difference between this and ice on a soldering iron?
Bai Gu glared at the young Taoist viciously again, warning him to stay away from the little girl, but the tone in his mouth was unusually gentle, "Xiao Qiu, where is this Dongyang City?" Is it really far from here? ”
The young Taoist pursed his lips, and sure enough, he still couldn't believe in the poor Tao.
"I don't know, but I heard that the six cities in the east of the sea belong to the most beautiful sunrise and the most abundant products in Dongyang City, and the city lord is a generation of handsome and unparalleled romance. When he was young, he was a famous genius boy! ”
East? Near the sea?
"Then where does our Yunshui City belong?"
"Yunshui City......" The little girl thought seriously for a while, "It should be in the west, right?" ”
"To be exact, it's the western sea." The young Taoist added.
"Yunshui City? Near the sea? ”
There are mountains all around here, where does the sea come from?
Who to fool!
The young Taoist pointed to the west, "Go this way, over the two big mountains of Dawu Mountain and Wangshu Peak, and then turn over a small mountain range, and there will be a large plain behind you, and you may pass through one or two small towns, and you can see the sea." ”
"So far?!" Bai Gu's eyes widened.
"Do you think that Yunshui City is the sea when it comes out of the city gate? Compared with those central cities, Yunshui City is considered to be near the sea. The young Taoist rolled his eyes.
Bai Gu snorted lightly and did not answer.
He doesn't know much about this geographical information, and he is too lazy to talk about it.
"Yunshui City is near the sea in the west, and Dongyang City is near the sea in the east, oh roar, that's really far away." The little girl waved her fingers and counted the distance very carefully.
"It's just that the statement that Yunshui City is near the sea is still not very accurate." The young Taoist dug up a handful of snow on the ground with his hands and piled it up in one place, "As the old saying goes, the sun rises in the East China Sea, and the twilight in the West Mountain." Whether it's in terms of fortune or topography, this is right. ”
"In other words, Yunshui City is still a backer?" Bai Gu was a little confused.
"Actually, yes. After all, the sea over there is not much of a sea. As he spoke, the young Taoist glanced to the west.
"Is the sea over there small?"
The young Taoist was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said, "When you have a chance in the future, you will find out for yourself." ”
Bai Gu grabbed a ball of snow and threw it at the young Taoist.
The young Taoist jumped, dodged the snow, and sat back on his buttocks, "In terms of topography, the west is high and the east is low. And as the old saying goes, water flows down. Naturally, the world's flowing water converges towards the east, and finally the sea embraces all rivers and flows into the East China Sea. So there is a lot of water in the east and a lot of hills in the west. ”
"What about luck? What's that? ”
The young Taoist couldn't help but glance at Bai Gu, it was really a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, and those who didn't know were not guilty.
He took a deep breath, "To put it simply, the sun in the sky rises in the east and sets in the west, driving the wind of this world to blow to the west. The wind carried the dust with it, and over time, most of the sand and gravel dust in the east was 'moved' by the wind to the west and piled up into the peak mountain range. Fortune coupled with the topography, the east is close to the sea, and the west is close to the mountains, which is correct. ”
"And how do you know?" Bai Gu looked at the young Taoist, his eyes full of suspicion.
Well, I still don't believe in the poor road.
What about the trust between people?
The young Taoist was full of grievances, "Just read a few more books and walk a few more steps, what a simple thing." ”
Bai Gu stopped and twisted his head to the side.
When she was a child, Mrs. Bai wanted Ding Bo, the only scholar in Lingding Alley, to teach Bai Gu to read and write, so as not to know a single word in the future.
But Bai Gu was still young at the time, greedy for fun, and liked to run around, so he didn't have the heart to study at all. I just went to Dingbo's house for an afternoon, and I didn't go again.
Mrs. Bai didn't force it, so she let Bai Gu play, and when he wanted to study, let Ding Bo teach him.
Later, when Mrs. Bai died, there was only one child left in the family, Bai Gu, who was tired and tired every day for food, so how could she have time to study?
Later, Bai Gu took in Bai Xiaoxiao, and life became even more embarrassing. Even Bai Xiaoxiao sometimes can't eat, let alone Bai Gu? In this case, reading? Can it be eaten as a meal? If it can be eaten as a meal, Bai Gu will definitely be the first to rush up and pick up a few books and go home to eat with Bai Xiaoxiao, without hesitation.
Besides, reading books costs money.
The money for books, the remuneration for teaching, the tuition fees for the school, aren't these all money?
Two little guys who are about to starve to death, how can they have the heart and time to study?
If you have to do your best to persevere just in life, you won't have the energy to do or think about other things.
As for going out for a walk?
Do you want to starve to death on the road to another country?
If this is the case, Bai Gu would rather die in Lingding Alley, in the Bai family, or in front of the grave of the old lady Bai.
In this way, at least the leaves fall back to their roots, and they can always be by Mrs. Bai's side.
Therefore, Bai Gu's current knowledge comes from the words of the people around him and the storytelling of the ant hall, and the farthest place he has walked is only Bai Yuwu, which is slightly farther away than Gu Xuefeng.
But now.
After selling the snake scales of the ancient snake, Bai Gu had 30,000 taels of gold.
Rich.
It's different.
Bai Gu now only thinks about Bai Xiaoxiao's injury and wakes up early, so that his money will be useful.
Buy a big house for Xiaoxiao, buy delicious food for Xiaoxiao, and buy thick clothes and quilts for Xiaoxiao.
Hehe, it's fun to think about.
As for whether Xiaoxiao wants to go to the school to study, it is all up to her whether she wants to or not, and she does not force it.
When it comes to reading, I'm at this age, so I won't toss around, at most I can buy a few Zhiwei novels and come back and read them.
Occasionally, I go to the ant hall to listen to a few storytellings, tsk, life is like this, satisfied!
The little girl poked Bai Gu with her finger, "Brother Bai, my house seems to be not far from Dongyang City, if you want to go to Dongyang City to find the old man in the future, can you take me with you?" If my parents hadn't come back by then. ”
Bai Gu sorted out his thoughts, a warm smile appeared on his face, and he stretched out a hand and touched the little girl's head, "Yes, then you have to rely on Xiaoqiu to show the way, you Brother Bai and I don't know the way." ”
"Okay, okay, this is on me!" The little girl's eyes narrowed with a smile like two crescent moons.
The young Taoist ran between Bai Gu and the little girl, stretched out his head, and smiled hesitantly, "Then when the time comes, I will also bring the poor road, the poor road also knows the road, and I know many people, maybe I can save a lot of money along the way." ”
Bai Gu turned his head sideways and glared at the young Taoist, who shrank his neck in fright, thinking that Bai Gu was going to beat him again.
"I'm afraid most of them are enemies, I don't want to be implicated and be chased and cut down by a bunch of people." Bai Gu put away the oily paper bag and prepared to throw it away when he left.
It's not good to litter, so don't bother the snowmovers on the streets. People are already very tired from their daily work, and it is not good to cause them trouble.
It's just a matter of effort, which doesn't require much effort, and can reduce the burden on others, so why not do it?
"Who, who said it! How so? Although the reputation is good, there are good and bad, but the reputation of the poor road is still okay, not so bad! "The young Taoist was a little angry.
"Not that bad? Does that mean it's not that good? ”
"Little Bai Gu, Poor Dao tells you, don't learn from the old guy, that bad old man is very bad!"
Bai Gu didn't pay attention to the young Taoist anymore, took out a few copper plates from his arms, and put them in the little girl's hand, "Xiao Qiu, you can take these copper plates, if you are really hungry, take them and exchange them with passers-by for food." It's too cold, you are here alone to pay attention and take care of yourself. ”
"Good!" The little girl smiled and put the copper plate away.
Bai Gu glared at the young Taoist again, who was staring at the little girl's hand that had just put away the copper plate, and her eyes were about to fall out.
Bai Gu pointed at the young Taoist and warned him not to go too far.
The latter grinned, "Poor Dao will go first, Xiao Bai Gu, Xiao Bai Qiu, don't think too much about Poor Dao." ”
As he spoke, the young Taoist raised his hands, got up and strode away.
Bai Gu spat at the figure of the young Taoist, and then touched the little girl's head again, "Then I'll go first, please be careful alone." ”
"Uh-huh."
Bai Gu slowly got up and walked back the way.
The heavy snow soon submerged Bai Gu's figure.
The little girl stretched and prepared to go back to the nest under the banyan tree to rest.
At this time, a voice came into the little girl's ears, a very familiar feeling of cheapness.
"Xiaobai begs, do you want to have a hexagram? It works......"
