Chapter 5: Secrets

"Lucky Rat?"

Su Qiqiao was taken aback, "You mean, that big rat is ...... In the Five Elements of the Zodiac? ”

"Well, that's right." Xia Yuxi nodded, also a little surprised, "I didn't expect you to know so much." ”

She hadn't thought anyone in this dark beggar's shelter would know about it.

Su Qiqiao was silent for a moment and nodded slightly, "I also heard a person named Grandma Wang mention it today, and I didn't believe it originally, but ......"

She looked at Xia Yuxi with a look of inquiry.

Xia Yuxi had tears in her eyes and choked up, "This matter, I have to start with my life experience, in fact, my real identity before I came was not a little girl from a poor family at all, but the eldest princess of Dongzhou Haoyue Kingdom, my real name is Shangguan Yuxi." ”

"What!" Su Qiqiao was taken aback, and then quickly covered his mouth with a look of disbelief.

Although she doesn't know what Dongzhou is, and she doesn't know what Haoyue Country is, she now understands that just the three words "eldest princess", Xia Yuxi's identity is definitely more prominent than those rich daughters!

Now, Xia Yuxi no longer hesitates, and in just a few words, she outlined her tortuous and bizarre experience in the past few years.

Originally, Shangguan Yuxi was the eldest princess of Haoyue Kingdom, and she was favored by his father and Shangguan Kuo as soon as she was born.

It's a pity that the good times don't last long, there has been a legend on the Wanli continent, those who get the five elements of the zodiac win the world, and then Shangguan Kuo and his party went out hunting once, Shangguan Yuxi accidentally caught a golden little mouse, and was able to swallow silver money, this amazing magical ability instantly made their father and daughter ecstatic, and then secretly offered up.

However, Dongzhou is not only this country, the other two royal families, the spies of the Donglin Kingdom and the Vast Kingdom accidentally got the news, and they all knew that the Hazy Moon Country got the golden lucky rat, one of the legendary five elements of the zodiac, and directly and secretly joined forces to deal with the Hazy Moon Kingdom, and overnight, the entire country was destroyed, and Shangguan Kuoning died and died on the spot.

It's a pity that the people of the two countries rummaged through the cabinets in the Hazy Moon Country, and even burned the palace, but they didn't find any trace of the Lucky Mouse.

After Shangguan Kuo's death, all his concubines and children were sent to two countries as slaves and maidservants.

And the beckoning rat is on Shangguan Yuxi, the reason why everyone didn't find her is that she has already disguised herself under the cover of Shangguan Kuo and turned into an ordinary maidservant, so she escaped the search and pursuit, and did not enter the palace to bow down to the enemy.

The two countries were not wiped out, and all the little eunuchs and palace maids were released.

She assumed the name Xia Yuxi, fled all the way with the beckoning mouse, she fell from the clouds to hell in an instant since she was a child, she fell from the clouds to hell in an instant, except for knowing some royal etiquette and basic knowledge, she was useless, she walked all the way penniless, exhausted, and fainted.

An ordinary peasant family took her in, Xia Yuxi originally thought that she could settle down, but she didn't expect that the family had bad intentions, lied that she was their daughter, and sold her to Mrs. Zhang for ten taels of silver, and then there was a later story......

"So that's ......" Su Qiqiao listened, gasped, and sighed with a sigh on his face, Xia Yuxi's twists and turns were even more ups and downs than the stories she had told before......

"Later, I took the beckoning rat and begged to make money, and most of the copper plates I earned were fed to Xiaojin." Xia Yuxi vomited quickly, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, but tears were flowing down, after so many years, she finally didn't have to bear so much alone, she was too tired to live alone.

After saying this, her whole person was much more relaxed, and the big stone squeezed by her heart also fell.

“…… You fed all the copper plates you got to that mouse? Su Qiqiao's expression was shocked, she finally understood why Xia Yuxi often couldn't get copper plates for a period of time.

"Are you crazy? You can't feed it yourself, and you're still in the mood to feed it? Su Qiqiao didn't know what Xia Yuxi was thinking, and his face became serious for a moment, "If you die, what's the use of keeping that mouse?" ”

If it weren't for the little beggar around her, as well as her help several times, it is estimated that Xia Yuxi would have been beaten to death by Mrs. Wang! It's hard to protect herself, who knows that she still has the leisure to feed all the copper plates she gets.

Xia Yuxi wiped a handful of tears and nodded, "Of course I understand, so you know, at the beginning, half of the money I got when I came over was handed over to Mrs. Wang, and half was fed to Xiaojin, but after so many things, and after such a long time, the Lucky Rat's appetite is getting bigger and bigger, and he is already hungry to death, so ......"

"Huh." When Su Qiqiao heard this, he couldn't sit still in an instant, and his face was incredulous, "Then isn't it a lucky rat, it eats so much without spitting?" ”

She used to think that Xia Yuxi was a bottomless pit, but now it seems, hehe, the bottomless pit that really eats people and doesn't spit out bones is that mouse!

Xia Yuxi shook his head and smiled bitterly, "When I was in the palace, it ate gold every day, and Xiao Jin's appetite was fattened, and now that it has experienced such a big gap, it can only eat copper plates, and it can barely save its life, and it is not bad if it is not starved to death, I will beg it now not to starve to death." ”

Su Qiqiao was speechless and was silent for a while, "So you fed it with your own family?" ”

"Hmm." Xia Yuxi nodded helplessly, "You should have seen it, because of eating copper plates for a long time, Xiaojin has degenerated into the appearance of ordinary mice." ”

“…… Well, I finally understand why it took my broken silver. Su Qiqiao lost her temper in an instant, what else could she do now?

Thinking of this, Su Qiqiao wondered, it stands to reason that this big mouse has been secretly hiding in Xia Yuxi's bedding all these years, so why didn't it pop out every time she hid money before, and this time she hid money, this guy was impatient?!

Xia Yuxi seemed to understand her doubts, and her face flushed slightly, "Maybe it's because Xiao Jin is inevitably a little excited when he sees silver for the first time in so many years, so he ...... Beside oneself. ”

"Can't help it?" Xia Yuxi rolled her eyes, it was because she wanted to make money!

But in the end, it was because she got a piece of silver today...... Xiao Jin took it away, disrupting her rhythm, and Mrs. Wang found the vegetable bun and beat her severely...... There was a series of accidents later.

After all, all this was caused by this piece of silver!

Su Qiqiao's head is big.

"Squeak." Su Qiqiao was speechless, and the big fat mouse ran over from the wooden window, and then jumped on Xia Yuxi.

"Little Kim." Xia Yuxi smiled lightly and gently touched the fat mouse's head.

Su Qiqiao was stunned for a moment, and then he looked at this lucky rat.

Ordinary gray hair, except for a little exaggerated size, a small bit of golden hair on the head, almost no difference from ordinary mice.

"Squeak." Xiao Jin looked at the bruises on Xia Yuxi's hands, and seemed to feel a little guilty...... Then he hesitated, and after a long pause, he spit out a small piece of broken silver that shimmered with a silvery-white shimmer.

"Huh?" The moment Su Qiqiao saw the broken silver being spit out, his eyes straightened.
