Chapter 172 Cold and Warm
In the next few days, Bai Shu hid in Ling Wen'er's house, and he didn't even go back to Guanchao Xiaozhu. Except for taking the time to go down the mountain to see if Liuli had a good meal, he rarely even went out of the house.
However, every night, Bai Shu would go to Tianmen to sit for a while and take a look at the sea.
Sometimes Bai Shu also wondered what it would be like if he was sitting on the cliff coffin of Ru Yuan Cliff and watching the sea.
In a blink of an eye, a few days passed. The Sword Sect had selected sixteen disciples who were about to participate in the discussion of the four sects, and Ye Taoling was naturally among them.
Bai Shu also returned to the team and packed his luggage and prepared to go to Taixu Temple with the disciples of the Sword Sect. Everyone had long talked about Bai Shu's elusiveness and was too lazy to ask questions. Only Yuan Youqing said a few words from time to time, and they were thinking about him, but he always played with missing words.
Early that morning, when Bai Shu and others were preparing to go down the mountain as planned, suddenly a disciple of the Sword Sect came to inform the disciples of the Sword Sect that something had happened to the team going to Taixu, and it would take a few more days to delay.
Xu Muling immediately decided not to wait much, because after returning to Taixu Temple, everyone also needed to participate in the selection of disciples shortlisted for the four sects of Taoism, but time was too late.
So everyone bid farewell to the Sword Sect, went down the mountain, and took the horses back. The horses who had been resting in the Sword Sect for several days not only did not regain their energy, but instead seemed a little listless because they could not adapt to the climate at the beach.
Only Luo Shilan's glaze looks a little more energetic. These are all horses from Taixu Temple. They eat well on weekdays, but usually there will be no problems after one round.
The city closest to the Sword Sect is Dingcheng. Yes, it is Dingcheng that Ye Taoling said to destroy with one sword. According to legend, there is a large tripod passed down from ancient times in Dingcheng, hiding wind and gathering energy.
As soon as everyone set out on the road, they didn't have to enter the city and walked south bypassing Dingcheng.
In winter, the weather is getting colder and the road is getting harder to walk. There were many places where you could sleep in the open air, but at this time, you can't live at night.
Xu Muling had to plan to take everyone to the road. In some large deserted places, he had to ride a horse for a whole day. He had to walk slowly and even had to walk some night roads. When he encountered the wilderness where he could not walk out for less than a whole day, he would have to rest for one more night if he didn't have time to go.
The way home was a bit difficult, but the disciples did not complain at all. At this time, the fourteen people in the entire team were already very familiar with each other and became good friends.
However, Xiao Yurou and Bai Shu were always "respecting each other as guests", polite, not joking, no conversation, and no intimate actions.
Half a month passed in a flash, and everyone had already arrived from Luo State to China. Bai Shu saw the vast mountains at the junction of Hualuo, but no one was leading him at this moment, and he could not find the mountain that the sect leader picked up Ling Wen'er, and he had no time to go in and take a look.
After most of the wilderness, everyone had already arrived in Gupei. After Gupei, they would be one big city next to another, and they were also the last place where everyone could stay in the wilderness.
The north wind blew tightly this day, and before the sky was dark, there were scattered snow. Bai Shu and others entered the only small inn in Gupei next to the snowflakes.
Xu Muling smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just suddenly remember it and just ask casually."
There are not many people in Gupei. Apart from the disciples of Taixu Temple, there are only a few individual guests left. They are divided into three tables to sit down, and the dishes they ordered are delivered in a short while.
"Master, this is your wine. I just gave you warmth." The waiter specially delivered the wine to Bai Shuwen.
Xu Yao was immediately dissatisfied with alcohol since he was a child and he also had the habit of drinking warm wine in winter. However, there were so many people in the store, only Bai Shu had the only one who drank warm wine.
"How do you do business? Why don't I give me the cold ice fangs?" Boss Xu Yao was unhappy.
The waiter glanced at Bai Shu and said nothing.
Bai Shu handed the wine pot to the waiter and said, "Give it a drink first, I can drink it cold."
The waiter did not receive the wine pot and turned to Xu Yao and said, "Wait a minute, I will give you warm wine."
Xu Yao touched his nose and was embarrassed to say anything more.
Xiao Yurou sat next to Bai Shu. She was so anxious that she could not eat well and sleep well that she could not get enough food and could not get enough sleep. She suffered from a cold again. At this moment, she had a runny nose and felt a little drowsy.
Bai Shu felt a little sorry for Xiao Yurou, so he took out a handkerchief and wiped her nose, and said, "Eat a good meal first, and go and rest when you are full, don't sleep here."
Xiao Yurou was wiped with a handkerchief by Bai Shu, and she was a little stunned. Her groggy mind made Xiao Yurou's spirit a little dazed.
When she was sick, Tang Xiangwan took care of her in this way.
Xiao Yurou ignored Bai Shu and felt a little thirsty. She held the wine pot and wanted to drink.
Bai Shu stopped her and said, "The soup will come later, don't drink."
Xiao Yurou held the wine pot and refused to let go. As the two fought, the wine spilled out of the wine pot, wetting Bai Shu's sleeves.
Xiao Yurou threw down the wine pot and suddenly said angrily: "Whoever wants you to care about me? If you want to care about me, you have to care about everything. You are hot and cold to me. Why should I listen to you?"
Xiao Yurou was polite to Bai Shuke for several days, but suddenly became furious.
Bai Shu silently wiped the wine from his sleeves and said nothing.
Xiao Yurou poured herself a glass of wine angrily and drank it all in one go.
Bai Shu did not continue to stop Xiao Yurou, but he also started drinking, and he drank faster than Xiao Yurou. The half pot of wine reached the bottom, and Xiao Yurou had only drunk two or three cups.
But these two or three cups were enough to make Xiao Yurou's face turn red and she entered a dizzy state.
No one can understand the relationship between Bai Shu and Xiao Yurou, sometimes like father and daughter, sometimes like husband and wife, and more often like brother and sister.
Bai Shu, a smart person, always treats Xiao Yurou silently.
The north wind was still blowing outside the window, bent the white grass all over the ground, and the snow fell on the ground, making it impossible to accumulate climate, just like a thin layer of silver frost covered the ground, and the cold moon gathered in the inn, and the fire inside the room seemed a little dark. The whole room was filled with the sound of bowls and chopsticks colliding, and no one spoke again.
