Chapter 24: Sugar Gourd
Xiaowa was a little worried, took duckweed's hand and asked, "Sister, but, she... Xiaowa was a little incoherent, after all, it did seem a little difficult for a mortal to solve a monster by himself.
"Don't worry, Sister Jing'er has only been cultivating as a demon for more than ten years, and she doesn't have any demon power. Otherwise, how could I have been in this mirror all along? Hey, he said he couldn't spare me. Duckweed covered her mouth and smiled, with a little more playfulness in her eyes.
The mirror demon hurriedly said, "Yes, I've only been cultivating for more than ten years, but I'm also a demon anyway." I don't know where you are, lady, how capable you are, and how talented you are to do the work of calculating hexagrams and solving disasters for others. ”
Duckweed sighed and said, "Hey, I'm overestimating you, and I can't even see what I am." Maybe you have to cultivate for hundreds of years to be smart. If you have the fate to see you again in the future, don't fall into the lost path again. ”
The mirror demon blushed with anger, but the tears had dried up, and she knew that no matter what, Zhang Xianzhen should not drive her away. She said angrily: "For hundreds of years, I will always love Langjun alone." Unless Lang Jun can live for hundreds of years, I will never fall in love with someone else. ”
Duckweed and Xiaowa are a little speechless, how to talk about love again. Duckweed sighed and said, "I'm afraid it's getting late, so Xiaowa and I have to go back early and go to the West Market to set up a stall early." ”
Zhang Xianzhen hurriedly bowed and saluted, and said very respectfully: "Youlao Niangzi came today, not only to solve the confusion of losing money, but also to solve the infatuation over the years. ”
"You're welcome, you paid, that's what I had to do. Duckweed smiled, turned his head and looked at the mirror demon next to him whose eyes were still a little swollen, "Actually, she is not a demon yet, she is just a piece of artifact for a long time and has spiritual sense." Her heart is very clean, even if she cultivates into a demon in the future, it won't harm you. ”
Zhang Xianzhen nodded and said, "I know, Jing'er ,,, her, and she has been with me for seven years." I was just, and now that I think about it, it's all my own fault. Zhang Xianzhen paused and continued, "I'm not afraid, I know. After all, after so many years, even if it's a dream, something... Hey, I should have found out that it wasn't alone, there were so many differences between the two of them, but I kept lying to myself, it was just a dream. The little lady doesn't seem to be a worldly person, and now that they meet, it's fate. If you need help in the future, please come to me. ”
Duckweed smiled with satisfaction, stretched, took Xiaowa's hand and said, "Let's go, we should go back." Just leave Zhang Gongzi and Jing'er's sister to explain to each other ,,,. Hey, by the way, Sister Jing'er, you made that incense?"
The mirror demon heard duckweed praise her, and spoke for her, a little embarrassed by the rude just now: "I did it, Sister Taojing taught me before." ”
"She also knows you're there?" said duckweed, a little surprised.
The Mirror Demon nodded, "Well, she treats me very well. Moreover, she was the one who kept me by Lang Jun's side. ”
Duckweed smiled and looked at Zhang Xianzhen, whose expression was a little complicated. She knew that she should do a good job in this business, "This fragrance is really good, if you can, can you make some to give to me." ”
Zhang Xianzhen said with a smile: "The lady is polite, just come and get as much as you want." ”
"Okay, then I'll come back often. ”
Duckweed was very satisfied with the little baby's hand and left Zhang Xianzhen's pawnshop, along the way, the vendors were constantly shouting, selling wine, jewelry, and snacks, all huddled together and shouted.
Xiaowa couldn't help but ask duckweed: "Sister, will Zhang Gongzi and that mirror demon be together? They have been husband and wife for seven years." ”
Duckweed covered her mouth and smiled: "Maybe, after all, Sister Jing'er loves him so much." I don't know, though. Maybe Zhang Gongzi will never be able to get out of his heart knot. ”
"Heart knots. The little baby muttered, thoughtful, but her mood was very happy, when she saw an old woman in a gray cloth dress on the corner of the street selling sugar gourds, she couldn't help but excitedly say, "Sister, look." ”
"Sugar gourd? I used to hear Ah Fu talk about it, but I never ate it once. For the sake of Zhang Gongzi's generosity, we made so much money in our first business, so we reluctantly broke the fee and bought a few strings. ”
Xiaowa said helplessly: "Sister, the sugar gourd is very cheap, and it doesn't cost a lot of money." ”
Duckweed asked suspiciously, "Isn't it?
Xiaowa continued to nod and said, "It's just a few pennies a thing." ”
"How many pennies?" duckweed smiled happily as if she remembered something funny, "It turns out that this thing is only a few pennies? I've been deceived for hundreds of years, it's really hateful." When I go back, I won't be able to spare her. ”
Xiaowa was very puzzled and asked, "Sister, who is she? Why did she lie to you? Why can't you spare her?"
"You have too many questions. Where do I start to answer hello?" duckweed scratched the baby's nose with her hand and said with a smile, "She is my best friend." Her name is Ah Fu, and she loves the sugar gourd in this world the most. Every time she came to the world secretly, it was to buy a few strings. Whenever I wanted to taste what it tasted like, she always lied to me that it cost a thousand taels of gold to buy. I kept putting up with it, thinking that this thing was so expensive, and she didn't have a few, and I was afraid that she would get angry if I ate it. Hey, the demon heart is unpredictable. If I knew it was so cheap, I wouldn't have eaten it. ”
"Is Ah Fu also a demon?" asked the little baby very quietly with a smile.
"It used to be, but it was already cultivated into an immortal. Duckweed said lightly, as if a little melancholy, but in a blink of an eye smiled again, "When I meet enough fate in this world, I may become an immortal, and at that time, I can see her again." ”
"Wow. Xiaowa exclaimed, "Is it possible to become an immortal and be immortal?"
Duckweed thought for a moment and smiled, "It stands to reason that it is so. "Duckweed didn't tell Xiaowa that she has lived for 10,000 years, living with heaven and earth, even if she can't cultivate immortals, she will not grow old and die.
"After that, if the little baby dies of old age one day, will my sister still remember me?"
"Yes, I will always remember you, you were the first person I met in the world. Duckweed replied very seriously.
Xiaowa smiled happily, took a string of sugar gourds with duckweed, and walked in the direction of the inn while eating.
The duckweed is still dressed in a long turquoise dress, with bright eyes and bright teeth, shining like spring. She was holding a twelve- or thirteen-year-old girl with clear eyes, eating a sugar gourd and bouncing around asking all kinds of questions.
The sunset is scattered in Gusu in July, the water of the moat is sparkling, and the branches of willow trees float into the river from time to time, intertwining with the river. In the distance, the smoke of the "Zhen Ji Pawnshop" rose and the owner began to cook.
It's just that today's cooking time is longer than usual.
