In the carriage, Bai Gu and Wang Xizhou sat opposite each other, while Bai Xiaoxiao lay on the stool in the middle, sleeping soundly.

Bai Gu had already taken the shabby quilt brought out from home and covered Bai Xiaoxiao with it, so that she would not catch a cold.

Wang Xizhou swept the old quilt with his afterglow, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart.

The person in front of him is obviously generous, and he is also a person who is not an ordinary cultivator, even if he doesn't have much money, but his life on weekdays should not be poor.

But this man's clothes are really not ...... Regular, old clothes, patches everywhere. The material of the clothing is not a good fabric, but the cheapest coarse cloth, just touching it will feel like a scratch, let alone wearing?

Add to that the worn, thin quilt, it's going to be ten years, right?

And this sister, although she is young, the cotton clothes and pants on her body, and even the cotton shoes and socks are brand new. Although it is also due to malnutrition, it is much shorter than children of the same age, but it is also white and clean, not thin.

What's going on?

Bai Gu noticed Wang Xizhou's gaze and smiled, "Brother Wang has doubts, you can say it, it's not honest to always hide it." ”

Wang Xizhou no longer hid his words, and asked directly: "Xiaobai, you have practice, and money shouldn't be a big problem." There are many dignitaries and nobles in the city who are very welcome to cultivators, as long as you are willing to go to their mansions to sit down, I believe that there will be a good monthly payment. But why do you make people feel that you are rich for a while, and you feel that you are a boy in the alley for a while? ”

Bai Gu smiled, "I thought it was a big deal, but it turned out to be this." Brother Wang, to tell you the truth, I am not only the rich person you say, but also the boy in the alley. ”

Wang Xizhou was even more puzzled, "Why do you say that?" These two can't seem to coexist, right? ”

"It depends on Brother Wang, what judgment conditions you want to use to treat me." Bai Gu smiled as he took out two fried small fish and handed one to Wang Xizhou, "If you talk about money, I can be considered a ...... now Half a rich man. Not long ago, I made a trade and made some money, which can be regarded as improving my life a lot. In essence, I'm still the same alley boy I used to be. ”

Bai Gu smiled bitterly, "I run between Yunshui City and Lingding Alley every day, and I try my best and rack my brains for a little food. I can wait for a bowl of glutinous rice on a snowy day in front of someone's house. You can also kneel on the ground and beg for a copper plate, kowtow until your head breaks your blood, and your head is sprinkled with urine. Anyway, in order to survive, I used to do everything. It doesn't matter how I am, but I do so much just to live and feed the little. As long as Xiaoxiao can grow up safely, I will have no regrets in my life. ”

As he spoke, Bai Gu looked at Bai Xiaoxiao who was sleeping with gentle eyes.

Wang Xizhou nodded at this time, somewhat understanding Bai Gu's approach, "But why don't you spend some money and clean yourself up?" It shouldn't cost much, right? ”

Speaking of this, Bai Gu couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "I don't like to clean up after myself, and I feel that it's very comfortable now, so I don't need to change it." If I had changed, I wouldn't have used to it. ”

Wang Xizhou was dumbfounded, but he also expressed understanding.

Wang Xizhou thought for a while, "Is it a deal with those two?" ”

Bai Gu laughed, "They? No, the medicinal herbs I sell are a deal with Wu Lao. If I make a deal with them, I'm afraid I won't get that much money. ”

Wang Xizhou raised his eyebrows, "Old Wu? Is it the one from Cheung Chau Pharmacy? ”

Bai Gu nodded.

Wang Xizhou took a deep breath, "Is it the one who made the deal with you personally?" ”

Bai Gu frowned slightly, but still nodded.

Wang Xizhou's heart instantly set off thousands of waves, and he was extremely shocked.

Even if he has practiced for decades and experienced countless life and death moments, dangerous places, and dangers, they can't compare to the impact that Bai Gu said at this moment.

Other people don't know, that's because there are some things that they don't know at the same level as they do.

But he is different.

As one of the Shanshui Fang, who is not high on many levels, but has walked through many places where even high-level Shanshui Lang has never set foot in Shanshui Fang, Wang Xizhou is actually in Shanshui Fang, whether it is a branch in Yunshui City, a branch in other places, or a headquarters, his status and reputation are not low. Even many high-level landscape langs, when they set off for some dangerous mountains and rivers, they had to go out of their way to find Wang Xizhou, invite him to a meal, and ask him for some experience, otherwise they would not feel at ease.

It is also because of this that Wang Xizhou can know many things that he should not know at this level and level.

The business of Shanshui Fang is very large, and the business of ordinary people and cultivators is done, and even information can be bought and sold here, and many things are not considered secrets in Shanshui Fang.

In addition, Wang Xizhou has traveled a lot of places, and there are not a few secrets he knows. The two are one, and Wang Xizhou can be said to be a secret treasure trove that moves.

Wang Xizhou knows not half of the many secrets in this world, but there are twenty-three out of ten.

As for Wu Lao's identity, Wang Xizhou naturally knew it.

The big doctors of the Changzhou Pharmacy in various places, the big bosses behind the scenes, these are just small names, or in other words, just a cover-up.

When Wang Xizhou knew the identity of Wu Lao, he was so shocked that he sat in his chair for a whole day, unable to believe it.

Now that the person in front of him said that he made a deal with Wu Lao, or did Wu Lao himself preside over it, how could this not surprise Wang Xizhou?

Wang Xizhou's Dao heart, which was born and died and was as solid as a rock, couldn't help but be in a trance for a moment at this time.

The ...... in front of you How can he be......

Bai Gu saw that Wang Xizhou's expression was different, so he asked, "Brother Wang, is there any problem?" But it doesn't hurt to say that. ”

Wang Xizhou quickly sorted out his thoughts and asked cautiously: "Xiaobai, do you have elders in your family who know Wu Lao?" Or does your master know Wu Lao? ”

Otherwise, you will be one...... How could a young man in the alley have a relationship with Wu Lao?

A hint of strangeness flashed in Bai Gu's eyes.

This Wang Xizhou asked a little too much, right?

Could it be because of Wu Lao?

However, Bai Gu still said calmly: "It is an old doctor in my alley, he had several relationships with Wu Lao in his early years, and Wu Lao also gave him a few medical books and took him on the road of healing. I got something and wanted to exchange money, so the old doctor asked me to go to Mr. Wu and try my luck. As for my master, don't mention it. ”

Wang Xizhou was stunned, and then realized that he had lost his temper, and hurriedly changed the topic, "Xiaobai, no matter how bad your master is, it is also you who have performed the apprenticeship ceremony, proving that the master worshiped by heaven and earth should not be so disrespectful." ”

Bai Gu tugged at the corners of his mouth, "It's okay to pick the door again, and you don't treat your own apprentice as a drunkard." ”

Wang Xizhou smiled slightly, "Then your master is a lover and has a lot of personality." ”

Bai Gu threw a fried fish into his mouth, "Brother Wang is worthy of being a scholar, and his words are good." ”

"After the award, the sea of books is endless, the journey of life is hard, Xizhou is just a short walk, and there is still something to go after."

Bai Gu nodded, deeply agreed.

Indeed, there is still a long way to go.
