Chapter Twenty-Six: The Turtle Who Specializes in Piano, Chess, Calligraphy and Painting (Ask for Votes!) )
After saying goodbye to Li Yuhan and Huang Xiaowan, Zhou Xiaochuan pushed his dilapidated bicycle and walked slowly towards the outside of the flower and bird market.
While walking, Zhou Xiaochuan pondered what kind of gift to give to Li Yuhan to be able to call her heart and let her forget the troubles for a while?
Although there are still six days before Li Yuhan's birth, it is not easy for Zhou Xiaochuan to make a gift that Li Yuhan likes in these six days. Because he grew so big, Zhou Xiaochuan never gave gifts to girls. This time it can be said that the eldest girl sat in a sedan chair - the first time. He has no experience at all, and it is strange that he has a bottom in his heart.
"Perhaps...... Can I ask Uncle Zhang for advice? Zhou Xiaochuan remembered the 'sister experience' that Uncle Zhang taught him when he came home from work yesterday, and his eyebrows couldn't help but raise slightly, and he muttered to himself: "Although Uncle Zhang is old, he is a person after all, so he must know what kind of gift can call a girl's heart, right?" And what he said yesterday, although some of them are disrespectful, but if you think about it carefully, there is still some truth in it. ”
Thinking of this, Zhou Xiaochuan no longer hesitated, raised his feet and stepped on the bicycle, preparing to return to the Baiguo community he rented to seek experience from Uncle Zhang. But at this moment, a deep voice suddenly came into his ears: "Hey, boy, wait, don't rush to go." That's right, it's just calling you, a human kid who knows the language of beasts. ”
Zhou Xiaochuan stopped, stepped on the ground with one foot, and turned his head to look in the direction where the voice came from.
What caught his eye was an aquarium shop.
Looking at the hundreds of fish cruising in the fish tank, Zhou Xiaochuan was somewhat dumbfounded. Because he couldn't figure out who was calling him.
The deep voice sounded again: "Where are you looking?" Do you really think I'm as tall as you? Look down, look down a little further......"
Zhou Xiaochuan moved his gaze down as he said, and soon saw the large pot of turtles placed at the door of the aquarium shop.
In a large iron basin covered by fishing nets, there are at least dozens of turtles lying in the middle of it. And among these turtles, there was an old turtle only the size of a fist, who was stepping on the backs of several other turtles, stretching his neck and poking his head out of the hole in the fishing net, blinking a pair of eyes the size of mung beans, looking up at Zhou Xiaochuan.
It should be this old turtle who stopped Zhou Xiaochuan.
Zhou Xiaochuan looked at the old turtle a few times this time, and asked curiously, "Is there something?" ”
The old turtle smiled and flattered face, and said, "Human boy who knows the language of beasts, can you buy me back?" I'm really fed up with this place, living in a cramped environment and not much appetite for food. What I can't stand the most is that Ya still uses fishing nets to restrict the freedom of my turtle body, which makes me, an old turtle who has lived for more than 100 years, even take a walk after dinner and become an unattainable luxury......"
This old turtle is a chatterbox, and once the chatterbox is opened, it will talk non-stop, and it will be said that this aquarium is a prison, and it is the poor prisoner who is imprisoned in this prison.
"Stop, stop, stop......" As a last resort, Zhou Xiaochuan could only interrupt the old turtle's words, otherwise, he really didn't know when the old turtle's 'grievance conference' would end.
"I'm sorry, I already have a dog at home, and I don't plan to have any other pets. You'd better find another master. With that, Zhou Xiaochuan was about to pedal his bicycle and leave.
"Don't be so ruthless, okay? Anyway, I also participated in the war yesterday, and I also sacrificed my life for the party-state...... Well, no, I did it for you. Seeing that Zhou Xiaochuan was leaving, the old turtle suddenly became anxious, stretched his neck to the longest with great effort, and shouted sharply: "Don't worry, I am very good at feeding, I am not picky at all, just feed some leftovers, and my food is also very small, I only eat once a week, and I will definitely not eat you." Most importantly, I'm no ordinary turtle! ”
"Oh?" The last sentence of the old turtle aroused Zhou Xiaochuan's curiosity, he pinched the brakes, turned around and looked at the old turtle again, and asked curiously: "You are not an ordinary turtle?" What does this mean? ”
"I'm a turtle who is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting!" The old turtle raised his head high, with an expression of 'I have knowledge and I am proud', "Just ask, when have you ever seen a turtle as elegant as me?" ”
"No matter how elegant you are, aren't you still a turtle? Can you still become a Xuanwu? Zhou Xiaochuan couldn't help laughing, because he suddenly remembered Stephen Chow's classic line in "Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qi'er", "The overlord of beggars is still a beggar". Besides, how can you, a turtle, be proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting? It's not that I look down on you, but you four little turtle claws, I'm afraid you can't pluck the strings, pick up chess pieces and brushes, right? ”
"I'm theorist! Do you know the theorists? Seeing that he was questioned, the old turtle suddenly became anxious, and hurriedly stiffened his neck to defend himself: "You are right, due to congenital shortcomings, I really can't play the piano and chess with my own hands, and splash ink." However, this does not prevent me from studying the theory of qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, nor does it prevent me from pursuing on the road of art! To tell you the truth, as far as my theoretical level in qin, chess, calligraphy and painting is concerned, it can be called a master! You know, the masters in front of me are all masters in related fields! They are famous not only at home, but also internationally renowned and respected! Let me ask, under their long-term nurturing, how can my theoretical level in qin, chess, calligraphy and painting be poor? ”
Speaking of this, the expression on the old turtle's face became proud: "If you buy me home, it will be equivalent to inviting back a master who is proficient in qin, chess, calligraphy and painting!" As long as you are willing to work hard to learn, under my careful cultivation, you will not be able to become a well-known art master at home and abroad, at least you will be able to make a name for yourself in this art world. You must know that although the name of literary youth is not as popular in today's society as it was in previous years, it can still deceive some ignorant little girls...... How's that, heartbeat, right? Then hurry up! Don't miss the opportunity, don't miss it again! Now, as long as ninety-nine-eight, ninety-nine-eight can bring me home...... Uh, I'm sorry, I learned that line just now when I watched TV shopping last night, and I said it for a while, so don't take it to heart. You can rest assured, although I am a peerless turtle that is rare in a thousand years, my worth is definitely not as high as ninety-ninety-eight. Buying me back is definitely great value for money and will definitely not disappoint you......"
