Chapter 17: Turtle Shells

"What?"

Ao Suo paused, unable to think of how to explain the situation to her. He felt that his face seemed to have lost the ability to express emotions for a while, but Ah Qin was in a hurry, and he should probably let her not be in a hurry first.

Ao Suo forced a smile: "I mean he's fine." Don't worry, you don't have to find a doctor for him, he should be fine in the morning. ”

Seeing Ao Suo stretch out two arms towards him, Yuan Qinqin handed the child in his direction, which was originally a very normal action between them, and Ao Suo would naturally take the child, protect it in his arms, and pat him and comfort him like the child's father.

But at this moment, for some reason, Ao Suo's outstretched hand was put down again, and Yuan Qinqin's action of handing the child was only half done. He turned and walked in front without saying a word.

Yuan Qinqin didn't know what was wrong with him, but she was still thinking in her heart that if it wasn't for being too anxious, she should have calmed down last night, at least helped Xiaodouding stabilize her condition, and waited for the morning when there was a doctor in the pharmacy on the street, and then take the child to see when there was someone. She was really frightened by Xiao Douding, who suddenly fell ill.

After tossing and turning home all night, the two and one beast returned to their rooms without saying a word.

Maybe I felt that I was going home, Xiaodouding's burn retreated unconsciously, and when it was time to have breakfast in the morning, I woke up on time, and the first thing I did when I opened my little eyes was to find Aqin's mother to eat, Yuan Qinqin looked at him like this, and her heart was settled, so she first held the child's soft little body and took him to urinate and pee, and solve the physiological problem.

I went to see Maomao again, and the hairy child was tired, and he was sleeping soundly on the broken quilt that grabbed his internal organs.

In the small courtyard in the early morning, several one-person tall flower trees were illuminated by the sun with a layer of hazy light, and the tender yellow light was still shining on the child's body, the child's fetal hair has not been shaved, and this layer of fluff is bright in the sun.

Seeing that the child was not affected by the high fever at all, I felt that the best thing in the world was that the cherished person was still around, this child was her only relative in the world, thinking, she approached the fleshy little face, kissed it, Xiaodouding felt itchy, giggled, and turned her face to hit the drooling mouth towards Aqin's mother's face, and used a kiss full of saliva to express the meaning of "baby loves you too", Yuan Qinqin wiped his saliva in disgust, While looking at this kid who is worried about death with love.

Although the person on the other side was tired all night, he couldn't sleep, and he wanted to come out and go around, so he saw this scene. She loved the child so much, but ....... Just when he was stunned, Yuan Qinqin had already heated the porridge and rice, made a few side dishes, tied an apron around his waist, and set the table with a smile on his face.

Although Ao Suo didn't make fun of her as usual, talking and laughing at dinner, but Yuan Qinqin was a chatter in this relaxed state, as long as she had an audience, she began to talk excitedly.

"I originally planned to open a supermarket here, and I would also call it Qinhui Supermarket. But yesterday I counted the money, probably not enough to put down a shop, but it doesn't matter, I can open a small stall first, and then open a supermarket when I have saved enough. ”

Ao Suo, who was distracted, still tried to listen to her words: "Supermarket, what is that?" ”

"It's literal, supermarket! It is a place where the functions of a grocery store, a stationery store, and a vegetable market come together, and if people want to buy something, they only need to go to the supermarket, and I used to open a small supermarket ....... "I have to talk about it again.

Ao Suo interrupted her: "So you still want to live this kind of ordinary life, right?" ”

"Yes, I told you, I'm just an ordinary person, I want very few things, and I can easily satisfy them. In our country, there are also people who criticize this attitude to life, saying that it is to live like an ostrich or a turtle. But life is short, my life is my own, I always have to use my limited time to do what I want to do. ”

She also smiled and pointed to the small courtyard that was quite warm by herself: "Look, this is the turtle shell that I realized my idea~." ”

"But what if you can't live like this, or if something will set you down a path you wouldn't have thought of."

"Although people change with the situation, I know best what I am, you see, if I can take this child back to my world with me, it would be the best, but if I can't go back, then I can do what I want to do in this world, it's good."

"For so long, my parents probably thought I was dead. So living here may be my ultimate destination. ”

"Well, I see what you mean."

********************

Castle Lord's Mansion.

The servants who sprinkled and swept and served tea moved methodically in the house. Shao Yisong got up before dawn, his dreams have always been chaotic for many years, and he seems to have experienced a lot in his dreams, so he can't sleep well, and when he wakes up and sees everything in front of him, he has to come back to his senses for a long time to know where this is.

Sitting in his workshop, fiddling with some tools in front of him. The workshop was used only by him, but it was very large, with a long table littered with parts and bottles and cans. The house smelled of pine oil and wood chips, and a fine layer of ash fell on the floor.

"My lord, the captain of the guard is back." Before the words of the servant at the door fell, a person hurriedly walked in from the door, holding a bloody left arm, and his feet seemed to be unstable.

When Shao Yisong saw it, he quickly stood up and said, "Brother Wan!" How did you get hurt so badly! What about the people you brought with you? ”

Wan Zhang didn't answer his words, but bent down and saluted, then took out a letter from his bosom and said with difficulty: "Lord, my subordinates are fortunate not to be dishonored." intercepted the secret letter sent by the inner ghost, but I didn't expect the person they answered to come so quickly, I wanted to catch the person who sent the letter, but I didn't expect him to run away. The brothers couldn't stand it, but fortunately someone pulled out a sword to help......" Wan Zhang looked behind him.

Shao Yisong saw a red figure appear in the morning light, because of the reverse light, he couldn't see his face clearly, but he could also know through the perfect body that this must be a beautiful woman, probably because of the long-term use of the sword, her upper arms looked more well-proportioned and toned.

Wan Zhang introduced the two people: "This is the woman who just saved our brother." Woman, this is our lord, the lord of this commercial capital. ”

The woman in red lowered her head and said, "I've seen the city lord, since the person has been delivered, I will retire first." As soon as the woman came in, Shao Yisong felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity welling up in his heart, as if he had been familiar with the person in front of him for many years, and sure enough, as soon as she raised her head, she revealed a face that impressed her very deeply.

"Is that you?"

"Is that you?" The two men said in unison. Shao Yisong had a voice in his heart and said: It's this girl, it's her.

I always felt that something was missing in my previous life, after seeing her for the first time, I felt a little strange in my heart, and I could basically be sure that this girl must have a deep fate with herself, otherwise why is she always so similar to the person she saw half-asleep and half-awake?

Wan Zhang hurriedly said to Hong Ling: "Woman, I have a reluctant request and want to discuss with the two of you. He looked at Hong Ling, and then at City Lord Shao.

City Lord Shao naturally didn't say anything, he asked gently, "What is the matter?" ”

"Now the guards in the mansion are more or less injured, and it's hard to say that the Shangdu city defense army will be transferred to protect the city lord's mansion, lord, can you leave this woman as the guard of the mansion first. We have all seen her skills, even if it is to deal with the cultivators who use spells, they are all at ease, and with her in the mansion, I can rest assured. ”

Wan Zhang handed him a pillow, almost without thinking, he had already done it, and saluted the girl in red and asked, "Captain Wan said so, then I have to take the liberty of asking the heroine, are you willing to stay in the mansion for a while?" ”

Hong Ling pondered for a long time before saying, "I originally made the four seas my home, so it's okay to stay here for a while, but you have to take care of food and lodging, and there is also a reward to be calculated." ”

I didn't expect her to be so straightforward, and the Shao City Lord said happily: "There is no problem with these. Come, quickly take the chief of the guard and the girl to rest, and call the doctor in the house to go over and heal the brothers. ”

Hong Ling followed the maid through the path she was familiar with, and after seeing the garden countless times, her eyes gradually blurred, and she held the sword in her hand, revealing the white bone joints, suppressing the emotions in her heart.

Then some people hurried past her, and she heard them say to the lord of the city, who had not yet entered the door, "My lord, my lord is not good, there are many wild people in the city!" Hong Ling's face froze.

After Shao Yisong heard the news, he asked, "What's the matter?" He walked towards this side, but he didn't notice that Hong Ling was still on the side of the road, and walked past her. Hong Ling didn't care, and walked two quick steps to follow him.

**************

Yuan Qinqin belongs to the kind of people who say they will do it, and said that they would open a small stall that day, so she bought her belongings, and according to the market conditions that have been investigated these days, she went up to the edge of the city to buy some practical and easy-to-sell small things, vegetables, and food, and transported them into the city.

Unexpectedly, just after transferring to the East Market, Yuan Qinqin almost dropped her jaw for that momentum, isn't that the Xinan people on Huludao? What is this for?

After she broke up with them, she knew that the people of the West may not be able to adapt to the life in the city, and there are not so many spirits in the sea by the "Fengming City", according to their previous living habits, there is no problem in rebuilding the West South Village, catching fish and raising birds, and recuperating. That's exactly what the people of Nannan did.

They didn't know that this was not "Fengming City" but they didn't know where the ancient merchant capital came from, and they rejoiced, using Huludao as a stronghold, spreading to the land around the beach, building houses, and taming the beasts and birds that could be kept in captivity on the seaside.

However, in the end, something happened, they didn't expect that there would be a day when there were no fish at all in the sea, and the animals in captivity were the same, at the beginning there was always a lack of them, and people had a lot of conflicts about this, and later, they simply disappeared.

The food we depend on is gone, and we can't find a cause or solve it. It's even worse than when you complain about the sea.

The life of the people of the West was completely unbearable, so they had to move towards the city over there.

Like when Yuan Qinqin and them entered the city, after a while of novelty, they began to decide to barter, first change something to fill their stomachs, and then say, in the social system of the people of the West, there is not much order, at first glance in this city, like a headless fly, even if the Shangdu people are no longer xenophobic, in the face of these "vulgar and barbaric" savages, their hearts are still more evasive than welcome.

A woman from the West was among the refugees, and saw Yuan Qinqin with sharp eyes. shouted happily: "Aqin Aqin!" At this shout, all the people of the West looked at her and gathered around. The surrounding merchants avoided them one after another, and some even closed their shops directly.

Yuan Qinqin sighed, she didn't expect to meet them again. The people of Nannan are not fishing on the beach, what are they doing here?
