Bai Gu was sitting on the bench, looking a little reserved.

Mr. Xu brought a pot of tea and poured a cup for Bai Gu, who quickly took it.

While pouring himself water, Mr. Xu asked: "Why do you become so polite after going down the mountain?"

Bai Gu smiled awkwardly and scratched his head, "You are a big shot, I really don't dare to be too presumptuous."

Mr. Xu smiled slightly, without raising his head, "How do you think that I, who sweep snow on Guxue Peak, am a big shot?"

"Just the letter you gave Mr. Wu."

"Have you seen it?" Mr. Xu became interested.

Bai Gu quickly shook his head, "No, no, how can there be any reason to open something halfway if it is entrusted to you? Just based on Mr. Wu's expression when he saw your letter, I guessed about 70% or 80% of it. Also,

The pottery pot you gave me should contain the purple ginseng that Mr. Wu wanted. I went up the mountain to find it. I was able to take out such precious purple ginseng and let the number one in Yunshui City get it with just one letter.

The doctor's face changed drastically, I feel like I'm not an idiot, if I can't see that you are a big shot, then my life will really be in vain."

After hearing this, Mr. Xu burst out laughing, "You can do it, you're not stupid, at least you're much smarter than some people."

Bai Gu also laughed shyly.

It wasn't just these two things that made him truly sure that Mr. Xu was extraordinary.

The most direct one is the Tuoshe ancient snake.

Although he said that before he fell into coma, he saw dozens of thunderbolts hitting the Tuoshen Ancient Snake, when he woke up, there was no trace of the Tuoshen Ancient Snake, and only a mess was left on the ground.

According to common sense, the ancient Tuoshe snake was struck to death by thunder and was reduced to dregs, leaving only traces on the ground.

Bai Gu thought the same way at the time.

But here's the problem.

If the thunder from the sky really killed the ancient Tuoshe snake, what happened to the snake scales scattered on the ground? Could it be that the snake scales are stronger than the whole snake? The thunder from the sky destroyed the ancient Tuoshe snake

, the snake scales are still intact?

Moreover, even if this is true, the snake scales on the ground are definitely not just the ones Bai Gu saw.

How could such a big ancient Tuasa snake have only a few scales?

So, there is only one possibility.

The ancient Tuoshe snake withstood the thunder and is still alive. Those snake scales scattered on the ground are just the fragments of the ancient Tuoshe snake that were bombarded by the thunder, just like when people take a bath, they rub their skin

Cracked out.

Since the Tuoshe Ancient Snake is still alive, and Bai Gu was still unconscious at that time, with the momentum of the Tuoshe Ancient Snake chasing Bai Gu at that time, it is unreasonable for the Tuoshe Ancient Snake not to take the opportunity to swallow Bai Gu.

The ancient Tuose snake not only disappeared without a trace, but also allowed Bai Gu to wake up safe and sound, pick up its scales and sell them for money. Is this possible?

The objects of all these suspicions all fell on the first person Bai Gu saw when he woke up, which was Master Xu.

Mr. Xu, a thin and small old man, if he were an ordinary person, wouldn't he be able to follow Bai Gu and stuff the teeth of the ancient Tuose snake?

For a moment, Bai Gu suspected that Mr. Xu was the Tuoshe Ancient Snake, but he was denied in the next second.

In front of that cave, the Tuoshe ancient snake was present at the same time as Mr. Xu, and the distance was no more than a hundred meters apart. How could they be one body?

Moreover, Mr. Xu seems to have a good impression and attitude towards himself. The Tuoshe Ancient Snake looks like it is bound to kill him. How can these two be one?

Therefore, Mr. Xu is neither the Tuose Ancient Snake nor an ordinary person, so he can only use some kind of ability or magic weapon to drive away the Tuose Ancient Snake, or even use powerful strength!

No matter which one he is, Mr. Xu is an extraordinary person, and he may even be the legendary strong man who can soar into the clouds and ride the mists!

Bai Gu took out a package from his arms, put it on the table and opened it, "Mr. Xu, you said that the tobacco on the mountain is too light and boring to smoke. This is the best and largest tobacco shop in Yunshui City that I have ever visited.

The most powerful cut tobacco I bought, please try it."

Mr. Xu didn't waste any time. He pinched a handful of cut tobacco and put it into his pipe, and started smoking. After taking a few puffs, Mr. Xu chewed his teeth and said, "This is called cut tobacco. The ones I smoked before were simply...

It’s just the air, faded out like a bird.”

Bai Gu scratched his head and said, "As long as you like it, I will often bring this kind of tobacco to you to chat."

Mr. Xu laughed with satisfaction, "You are really good at talking and making people happy."

Bai Gu chuckled.

Even so, Mr. Xu has a sharp eye. The old guy really doesn’t cherish such a well-behaved child like me. He quarrels with me every day. It’s really unreasonable!

Mr. Xu slowly blew out a smoke ring and said, "You must have something to do when you go up the mountain this time, right?"

Bai Gu was a little embarrassed and said quickly: "It's okay, it's okay. I just miss you and want to chat with you."

Master Xu glanced at him sideways, "If you were fine and just came here to chat, why would you stand at the door for so long without knocking?"

"Aren't you afraid that it will be too late and disturb your rest?"

Mr. Xu withdrew his gaze and said, "Forget it if you don't tell me. I can save some worries."

Bai Gu opened his mouth, but still couldn't say anything.

Mr. Xu and I have only met each other a few times. The last time I helped him, I helped him out of grandma's face, which was already the utmost kindness. How could I have the nerve to ask for help this time?

Why should Master Xu help him?

Is it because of my shamelessness? The tens of thousands of taels of gold on my body? Or is it my worthless body and bones?

It doesn't make sense.

Regardless of the fact that Mr. Xu may be, or is, a big shot, and just because Mr. Xu is easy-going and easy to talk to, Bai Gu really wants to make friends with Mr. Xu, just like an old beggar.

It is normal for friends to help each other. The old beggar often helped Bai Gu to tide over difficulties, and Bai Gu would also repay the favor to the old beggar, but the latter only appeared less often.

Master Xu can help him, but what can he do to help Master Xu and return the favor? How about those valuable but worthless shredded tobacco?

Don't be ridiculous, this is impossible even if you think about it!

Even if Mr. Xu said this himself, Bai Gu would feel very sorry in his heart.

The value between the two is simply not equal!

Neither of them spoke, and the room suddenly fell into silence.

The kerosene lamp on the table burned silently, making a "crackling" sound from time to time. The smoke rings puffed out by Mr. Xu were large or small, lingering above the two people's heads, as if they were layers of roofs, helping them block the wind outside.

Snow.

After a long time, Bai Gu sighed and finally said: "Master Xu, actually I..."

Unexpectedly, Mr. Xu stood up directly and said without looking back: "It's already very late. Let's talk about it tomorrow if we have anything to do. You can stay in the same room as before. The quilt, pillows, etc. are still in there. Go to sleep first."
