Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Promise of Exchange
When he glanced at Zhu Xi, who was shocked, Sheng Zijun didn't pay much attention to what kind of state of mind she was, and now his mind was full of the origin of this baby snow clam.
"Aunt Niu, where did you find this snow clam?"
"This morning, the iron pillar at the head of the village went into the mountain to cut wood, and when I passed near Bilong Pond, I saw this little thing lying on the rock. Didn't you treat Tiezhu's father for a leg disease? Knowing that you have been looking for the whereabouts of the snow clams, the kid Tiezhu has solid eyes, and he tossed in the snow water for a long time on a cold day before he caught this little thing. ”
reciprocated with peaches, Sheng Zijun didn't expect that his good deeds on weekdays would actually get good fortune! Obviously, it was too unexpected.
"Brother Tiezhu isn't frozen, is he?!"
Feeling that she was an outsider, she seemed to be talking a little more, and when she talked about this kind and unkind thing, Aunt Niu hurriedly waved her hand to let Sheng Zijun feel at ease.
"It's okay, it's okay, a young man as big as an iron pillar, his body is sturdy! Where will it freeze. When he brought the clams, he asked me to tell you that if Dr. Sheng needs help, just let him know. ”
"Thank you Brother Tiezhu this time. I'll go back and take a look at him, and by the way, I will send his father some analgesic ointment, which can be regarded as repaying Brother Tiezhu for helping me so much. ”
replied to Aunt Niu with a human touch, and Sheng Zijun turned his head happily to look at the snow clams in the bamboo cage. Bilongtan?! Since Brother Tiezhu caught the snow clams in this annex, there must be snow clams near Bilong Pond, and Sheng Zijun is also thinking about picking a suitable weather in the past two days and trying his luck near Bilong Pond in person.
"Aunt Niu, I think if the weather is suitable in the past two days, I will bother Uncle Niu to lead me into the mountains to the vicinity of Bilongtan to have a look, I don't know if it will cause you trouble?!"
"Doctor Sheng, what are you talking about? You are the great benefactor of our family, how can running errands be considered trouble, you just ask. ”
Sheng Zijun carefully lifted the bamboo cage, put it back into the wooden basin filled with snow water, and said to them in a rigorous tone: "It's not that I'm in a hurry, it's that spring will start in another month, and when the weather warms up, it will be even more difficult to find snow clams." I think this time is the time for snow clams to come out of the burrow and reproduce, and I must seize this opportunity to find a few more in order to configure good medicine to treat Xiaomei. ”
As soon as she heard about Niu Xiaomei's condition, Aunt Niu was even more obliged, nodding her head and responding: "Okay, okay, I'll tell you Uncle Niu when I turn around, let him hurry up and prepare." ”
Zhu Xishi, who had been in a wait-and-see state before, walked to the wooden basin with a little doubt after listening to Sheng Zijun's explanation of the medicinal properties and living habits of snow clams, and then carefully looked at the snow clams in the bamboo cage, and turned around and asked Sheng Zijun on the side.
"Is this snow clam female or male?!"
"Female. You can see that it has a pink color on its cheeks, which is characteristic of adult female snow clams. Male clams, on the other hand, are larger than females and do not have this pink color on their gills. ”
After listening to Sheng Zijun's explanation, Zhu Xishi nodded with understanding; And Sheng Zijun seemed to be unable to hold back his interest when talking about snow clams, squatting down and leaning next to Zhu Xishi, looking at the snow clams happily, and continued to add with great interest.
"This female snow clam is even rarer than the male snow clam, and it is fortunate that there is usually one female snow clam out of ten snow clams. My master once said that during the breeding season of snow clams, the oil sacs on the back of female snow clams secrete a special fragrance that attracts males to come and reproduce. If you don't believe me, you can get closer and smell the strange fragrance of this female snow clam. ”
Zhu Xishi, who was skeptical, leaned his head closer to the bamboo cage according to what Sheng Zijun said; Sure enough, a faint fragrance poured into my nose! Zhu Xishi's face was also full of surprise, this little thing was indeed incredible.
I don't know if it's because of this strange fragrance that wakes up my mind, or if Zhu Xishi's brain turns too fast, suddenly the surprise on his face condensed, his eyes were extremely bright, and he turned his head and asked Sheng Zijun with a face.
"Do you want to catch more clams?!"
"Miss Zhu, aren't you talking nonsense?!"
Can you not want to? Dream it!
"I've got a way for you to catch more clams; But before you can do that, you have to promise me one condition. ”
When Sheng Zijun, who was full of suspicion, looked at Zhu Xi beside her in surprise, her serious round face was full of confidence, and she seemed to be really sure of catching more snow clams. After repeatedly looking at Zhu Xishi's serious and strict face back and forth a few times, he finally couldn't resist the curiosity in his heart and asked her.
"What conditions?!"
The corners of Zhu Xishi's mouth hooked, and his smile looked cold, but he was extremely confident: "What else can I ask of you?!" Doctor Sheng, you know it well, don't need me to disturb your ears more often. ”
As soon as his heart "chuckled", Sheng Zijun suddenly understood what the conditions Zhu Xishi said: to become thin and beautiful! When it comes to principled issues, Sheng Zijun's face is naturally not good-looking.
"Why are you still clinging to it! If you say no, you can't. ”
probably had guessed that Sheng Zijun had such a reaction in advance, and Zhu Xishi's face didn't fluctuate much, but the cold smile on the corner of his mouth suddenly turned into a cold snort.
"Then we don't have anything to talk about, Doctor Shan."
Without the slightest hesitation, Zhu Xishi stood up and walked calmly out of the kitchen, no longer making it difficult for a strong man.
"Wait!"
Before Zhu Xishi could take the third step, there was a sound behind him. And in front of Sheng Zijun, who couldn't see, Zhu Xishi's previous indifferent smile had a warm color, and it should be said that he had the upper hand.
She won the bet! The bet is that snow clams are Sheng Zijun's treasure.
"What else does Doctor Sheng have to say?!"
Putting away his pride in winning the ticket, Zhu Xishi turned his head casually, and asked Sheng Zijun who kept him without saltiness.
"Do you really have a way to catch more clams? Miss Zhu, don't take it to find fun, some big words can't boast! ”
Looking at Zhu Xishi's confident look, Sheng Zijun's heart is tickling like a cat's paws! If she really has any good idea, she will lose a lot if she misses the opportunity!
"Since I dare to say it in the past, I am not afraid that I will not be able to honor it! But for now, it depends on your sincerity, Doctor Shan. ”
It's hard to ride a tiger, and it's a dilemma! Sheng Zijun, who was pounding in his heart, clenched his small fists, and spun in place in a chaotic manner, while looking at the shrouded snow clams from time to time. Principle or Snow Clam is desperately competing in his heart at the moment, which is more important? Apparently one head two big.
"Doctor Shan, why do you have to be so distressed?" Zhu Xi, who was in peace, looked at Sheng Zijun, who was difficult to choose, and couldn't help but add fuel to the fire: "What's so embarrassing about this matter, no matter whether I succeed or fail in asking for Dr. Sheng, there is no loss for you." Besides, every qiē was my Zhu Xi's willingness, and it had nothing to do with Dr. Sheng. If Dr. Sheng is afraid that he will cause some trouble for helping me and affect your reputation, I can make a life and death contract with Dr. Sheng in the past to promise not to implicate you in the future. ”
The steps have been paved for Sheng Zijun in the past, and it depends on Sheng Zijun himself whether he can go down or not. The words have already been said to this point, if Sheng Zijun still insists, then Zhu Xi has nothing to say and accepts her fate.
After a few hesitations back and forth, Sheng Zijun's eyes finally fell on the snow clam in the bamboo cage. Swallow it hard to give yourself courage, and break the rules to break the rules! Sheng Zijun raised his head sharply and replied to Zhu Xishi.
"Okay, I promise you. As long as your method can be successful, my Sheng Zijun will be reborn for you! ”
"A gentleman's word!"
"Whip the horse!"
Zhu Xishi and Sheng Zijun seemed to have a tacit understanding, and at the same time flashed their palms and struck them in the air, giving out a crisp applause! And the hands of the two, as they had promised, were clasped together.
