Bai Xiaoxiao's final decision surprised Wu Lao.

She didn't want to follow Wu Lao back to the hospital, nor did she need Wu Lao to come over every day to deliver food.

"There are still some naan cakes at home, I boil some water to eat, and I can eat them for many days! Old Wu, you don't have to run around every day, you are troublesome and tired. ”

Wu Lao thought for a while and took out a small iron box, "There are some cakes in here, you eat them first, I'll bring you some in two days, and by the way, tell you about your brother's situation, how about it?" ”

Bai Xiaoxiao originally wanted to refuse, but when she heard the news that Elder Wu would bring Bai Gu, she had no choice but to nod and agree.

"Then I'm leaving, aren't you scared to be home alone?"

Bai Xiaoxiao shook her head, "Since my brother was a child, he was going to go out to find food, and I was home alone." Before I was six years old, my brother couldn't rest assured of me, so he kept going out with my brother to find food. Later, when I was six years old, I could take care of myself alone, so I let my brother leave me at home alone, and my brother went out to find food alone. ”

Bai Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment, but continued: "I am my brother's oil bottle, he took me out to take care of me all the time, and he will find a lot less food." He often gave me the little food he wanted, and he was hungry. I stayed at home, so that my brother could go all out to find something to eat, so that my brother and I could both have something to eat. ”

The more Bai Xiaoxiao spoke, the quieter her voice became, and her head lowered.

Wu Lao only felt a little sour in his throat, and his face was a little sad.

Wu Lao had no idea that a ten-year-old girl could already know so much and think so much, which he had never imagined before.

When I was ten years old, I still seemed to be playing in the mud under the big tree in front of my house, right? At that time, I would have thought so much.

When the sky is over, you should think about what you will take in the school exam, what rewards you will ask your parents for good grades, or where the kites in the sky will fly, which fish in the stream will be fatter, and when will they grow taller?

Sitting on the embankment every day and thinking about when you will grow up and thinking about when you will grow up in a dilapidated wooden house are two different things, and there is a difference between cloud and mud.

The same sugar gourd, the former can be eaten every three or five times, and you can get tired of eating it. The latter may only be able to watch and smell the taste for the rest of their lives, because it is a meal, or even a day's meal.

That's life's money, it's hard to come by, but it can't be wasted on this kind of dispensable pastime, it's important to fill your stomach.

Wu Lao remembered a book he once read, which said that the children of rich families were precocious, and they would be praised as sensible and talented, and they would be trained as successors as early as possible, so that they could enjoy glory and wealth as soon as possible. As for the poor families, they just suffered earlier.

It is better to be sensible early than to be sensible late, and you can suffer less hardships and less sin.

Wu Lao thought that Bai Gu and Bai Xiaoxiao grew up by eating hundreds of family meals, but looking at all this in front of him, and what the old beggar once said, I am afraid that it is much more cruel than imagined.

"Hundred family rice? You think too much, wild dogs grab in their mouths and eat it, Xiaobai hasn't done it before! ”

Wu Lao sighed, "You're home alone, aren't you really afraid?" ”

Bai Xiaoxiao thought about it very carefully, and still smiled embarrassedly, but her tone was full of depression, "At the beginning, I was still young, and my home was dark, so I was really afraid, and I often hid in the quilt alone and cried secretly." The kids in the alley often play together, and when they run past the door, they laugh a lot, and I want to join them in playing. But I was afraid that I would run too far and find my way home. I'm even more afraid that when my brother comes back, he won't see me, and then he is very anxious and looks for me everywhere. My brother is already very tired from going out to find food every day, and I don't want him to make himself more tired because of my playfulness. ”

Bai Xiaoxiao suddenly perked up, "It's different now, I've grown up!" I can help my brother with some things now! When my brother comes home, I can boil a pot of water in advance, and he will have water to drink as soon as he gets home! When my brother is sick, I can run and call Grandpa Liu to come and see my brother! I can do a lot of things now, and I can make it a lot easier for my brother! ”

The more Bai Xiaoxiao spoke, the more energetic she became, and her little face was full of happiness from the bottom of her heart.

Wu Lao also had a kind face and listened very seriously.

The suffering and beauty of the world are all in one, which is rare and rare.

"I knew it was you." Xu Ye, who was dressed in sackcloth, stopped the broom in his hand and raised his eyes to look at the door.

Old Liu put his hands behind his back, and his voice was a little hoarse, "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and untie the enchantment." ”

The white-robed Xu Ye suddenly appeared in the small courtyard, forming a three-legged stand with Lao Liu Tou and Mai Xu Ye.

Old Liu Tou sneered, "What, want to fight two against one?" It's just two dying people who are divided into gods, and if you want to die, just try. ”

Mai Xu Ye smiled and said: "It's all old people, so don't be so angry." ”

The white-robed Xu Ye glanced at the two of them, "You can fight if you want, I'm not interested." ”

Lao Liu Tou's tone was still stiff, "Hurry up and untie the enchantment, don't delay things." ”

Mai Xu Ye just smiled and didn't speak.

The white-robed Xu Ye pinched a fearless seal, and the lotus reclining Buddha crown above his head flashed with a touch of light, and then shook his head, "The two of us are just urging the light barrier, and there is no way to know the solution." ”

Old Liu frowned, "What do you mean?" ”

"The two of us just tear off the thin line that triggers the mechanism, and we won't open it." The white-robed Xu Ye said indifferently.

"Bai Yi?" Old Liu's brows tightened.

"It's her, it's not her. She's just an important link. The light barrier cannot be lifted unless the caster does not use it, so you don't have to think in vain. ”

Mai Xu Ye smiled suddenly, "It's hard to come here, come in and sit down, pinch and then leave?" ”

"Can you be so kind?" Old Liu Tou snorted coldly.

"It's the same race, so I can afford to have a meal." Mai Xu Ye is still smiling.

Old Liu Tou sneered: "What kind of clan, don't put gold on your face, half-human, half-ghost thing, also deserve to be called the same clan as me?" ”

The white-robed Xu Ye immediately counterattacked: "It's just a little bird, what is arrogant?" ”

Lao Liu's face was like frost and he stopped talking.

Old Liu Tou didn't move, but a majestic momentum rose from him, a bird's cry resounded in the sky, and gusts of wind were set off in the small courtyard.

A group of birds and beasts that only saw the body and did not see the edge rose in the air, and the trees and snow behind Lao Liu Tou were swept away and razed to the ground.

Mai Xu Ye sighed lightly, "You have to fight at every turn, people are not old, what are you doing so irritable." ”

The white-robed Xu Ye stretched out a hand and slowly pressed down towards the void in front of him, and a Buddha light rose to the sky, turning into a winding and coiled giant snake law phase, with purple and golden eyes.

Seeing this, Mai Xu Ye had no choice but to put his other hand on the broom, and his hands were on the ground with the broom. A white spiritual power exploded, turning into a snow-white giant snake that covered the sky.

One bird and two snakes, three-legged, facing each other from afar.
