Chapter Twenty-Seven: Master of Art + Master of Divination = Turtle?
The old turtle's posture of stalking his neck and waving his limbs at the moment is really like those hysterical hosts in TV shopping.
Zhou Xiaochuan didn't believe what Lao Turtle said at all, he shook his head with a smile and said, "I'm sorry, I don't have any plans to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and become a literary and artistic youth." You, let's find someone else to buy you. Anyway, you have such a skill, and I'm afraid that no one will? You know, in today's world, there are many people who want to hire a tutor for their children......"
The old turtle had a lonely expression on his face, and said with a sigh of emotion: "Those other humans don't know the language of beasts like you, how can they know my skills?" What's more, they came here to buy all these little turtles who didn't know any, and they wouldn't even look at me, an old thing. Hey, as the saying goes, 'Maxima often exists, but Bole does not often have'. Han Yu's words really hit my heart. Confidant......"
Zhou Xiaochuan didn't have time to accompany an old turtle here to sigh 'Huai Cai is not met', he rode a bicycle and left: "You just sigh slowly, I have to go." ”
"Wait-" Seeing that Zhou Xiaochuan was really going to leave this time, the old turtle hurriedly offered the final trick: "I saw you frowning just now, but you are worried about what kind of gift to give to Li Yuhan next Saturday?" If you buy me home, I'll give you ideas, ideas, and a gift you can make for a gift she loves! ”
Zhou Xiaochuan squeezed the brakes hard, causing the bicycle that had just started to 'creak' to stop, looked back at the old turtle, and asked in surprise: "How do you know that next Saturday is Li Yuhan's birth?" ”
"I pinched my fingers and figured it out!" The old turtle had a divine stick expression of 'the mountain turtle has its own trick', and said unashamedly: "Do you know how those ancient wizards and Taoist priests divined? It's all about divination using the shell of our turtle! So we turtles are born with a talent for divination. If you buy me home, not only do you have an art master to nurture your artistic cells, but you also have a master diviner for you. This kind of business is simply a bargain for others! ”
Zhou Xiaochuan didn't believe what the old turtle said, because he found that when the old turtle was lying, the mung bean-sized eyes would turn straight up. He sneered and snorted as a threat, "Oh? Do you have a talent for divination? Wouldn't it be better if I just peeled off your tortoise shell? Alright, don't talk nonsense with me here, let's be honest! ”
"Strip ...... Shelling? Do you need to be so cruel? Be careful I go to the Animal Defenders Society to sue you! Although the old turtle had a hard mouth, he was still taken aback, and he didn't dare to lie anymore, so he replied dejectedly and honestly: "Actually, it's like this: as early as half a month ago, Shazi began to expropriate in the flower and bird market on the grounds that Li Yuhan was coming. Even I, an old fellow, were forcibly taken away from a week's worth of rations. Fortunately, I was hungry, otherwise I would have starved to death. ”
"Uh......" Zhou Xiaochuan really didn't expect the answer to be like this, so he couldn't help but shake his head and laugh: "This sand really has the style of an underworld boss." Then, he looked at the old turtle's gaze, and he also became eager: "What, you old turtle, is there really a way to help me make a gift that Li Yuhan likes?" ”
"Of course!" The old turtle held his head high, and shamelessly boasted to himself: "I have lived for hundreds of years, if I can't even get a little girl, where can I have the face to continue to live in this world?" Don't worry, under the guidance of me, the love saint of the turtle, I said that I made up a gift that satisfied Li Yuhan, even if I wanted to capture her heart, it would be a piece of cake! ”
Seeing that the old turtle was full of confidence, Zhou Xiaochuan nodded and said after a little groaning: "Okay, since you are so capable, then I will buy you and raise you at home." Even if you lie to me, I will only lose a dozen dollars. ”
The old turtle was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly promised: "Don't worry, I definitely didn't lie to you, I am definitely worth the money!" ”
Zhou Xiaochuan beckoned the owner of the aquarium shop out, raised his hand and pointed at the old turtle and asked, "Brother Zeng, how did you sell this turtle?" ”
"What, Xiao Zhou, do you want to buy a turtle? Which one do you like? "The man who is called Brother Zeng is a wealthy middle-aged man in his early forties, whose full name is Zeng Wende. He walked out of the aquarium shop, looked at the old turtle pointed by Zhou Xiaochuan, and couldn't help laughing: "I thought what turtle you wanted, it turned out to be this old turtle?" He immediately reached out and lifted the fishing net covering the big iron basin, quickly picked up the old turtle and tied it with a rope, stuffed it directly into Zhou Xiaochuan's hand, and said, "I don't want money, I'll give it to you." ”
"What's so embarrassing about that? How much should I give you. Zhou Xiaochuan said and was about to take out his wallet.
Zeng Wende waved his hand to stop him: "Hey, I said that if you don't want money, you don't want money." This old turtle has not been favored by customers since he came to my aquarium shop. And it is also very naughty and active, often biting the fishing net and leading a group of turtles to stage a 'collective prison break' scene, which makes me dizzy and headache. If you can take it away, it will be a big burden for me, and I can't be happy before it's too late, so how can I take your money? ”
Zhou Xiaochuan is not a hypocritical person, seeing that Zeng Wende really refused to accept the money, he smiled and thanked him, and casually put the old turtle into the dilapidated crate of the bicycle.
Zeng Wende reminded again: "This old turtle is very naughty, after you bring it home, you have to be careful not to let it slip away or damage the contents of your house." It can be seen that he has suffered a lot from this old turtle.
"I see, thank you Brother Zeng for reminding me." After thanking him again, Zhou Xiaochuan got on a bicycle and left the flower and bird market with the old turtle in the basket.
Along the way, the old turtle looked very excited, lying in the car crate and stretching his neck, squinting slightly to feel the oncoming cool breeze, and shouting vigorously in his mouth: "This is the air of freedom, how intoxicating!" Wow, I suddenly have a poetry interest and want to write a poem......"
After listening to the poem recited by the old turtle, Zhou Xiaochuan finally believed that it was extraordinary. After all, in today's world, there are not two turtles that know how to compose poetry, right? What's more, the poems made by this old turtle are full of ancient style and beautiful rhyme, which is far from being comparable to modern poems such as 'Pear Blossom Style'. It's a pity that except for Zhou Xiaochuan, no one else can hear what this old turtle said at all. Otherwise, just with the gimmick of 'Poetry Turtle', it is enough to attract tens of millions of people to come and watch, and at that time, he will be able to receive hand cramps just by charging the ticket money, right?
Zhou Xiaochuan did not go home directly, but first went to the vegetable market to buy a roast duck. This thing was the reward he had promised to the rats, and he didn't want to be remembered by the rats for breaking his promises.
