"Tyrant! Overbearing! With a smile, he wanted to rush out of the weeping flower door.

The guards at the door joined hands to form a human wall, just not letting her go.

"Sister Xiaoxiao, this is the general's order, he is afraid that something will happen to you, you must not leave here, once you go out, you may be caught by the prince. Before Uncle Qian was captured by the prince and beaten half to death. If you go out and get caught, we can't save you. Jin Ning rushed over and explained vigorously.

"If I don't leave the General's Mansion, you can't lock me up in such a small courtyard!"

"This yard is not small. Many young ladies are like this, and they will not take half a step out of the door of the hanging flower at all. ”

Looking back with a smile, this yard is indeed not small, there are rockeries, ponds, and a small building, but it is surrounded by high walls, and no one lives with him, so what is the difference between it and a prison cell?

"I'm not a young lady, I ask to see Banyue and reason with him in person!" Smiling and angry.

"Sister, it's temporary for you to stay alone here, Uncle Qian has already helped you find the maid."

There has never been a maid in the General's Mansion, so I can only go outside to find it.

"I don't need to be served, I don't need to be accompanied, I just need to be able to move freely! Brother, if you are really good to me, take me to see Banyue. ”

Jin Ning couldn't bear it, took a step, and said, "Then you wait, I'll see when he has time." ”

"Hurry up!" With a smile, she stopped fighting and turned back to the courtyard.

She walked boredly, and unconsciously came to the edge of the pond, and Mu Ran found that many golden fish swam out of the water, gathered together, and stirred the inky blue water into a golden yellow.

"Wow, that's beautiful." She was pleasantly surprised.

These fish have large scales, two whiskers on each side of the palate, and two flank scales on both sides of the body from head to tail, with cross-stripes and small black dots on them, like decorative bands embedded in the body.

Xiaoxiao asked in ventriloquism: "You are very beautiful, what kind of fish are you called?" ”

The fish seemed to be frozen suddenly, stopped there, and then scattered and dodged, hiding under the lotus leaves, and then poking their heads out.

One of the leading carps asked, "Who are you and where are you?" ”

"I'm on the shore."

"Aren't you human? Why do you say what we say? The voice was surprised.

"I'm not human, I just look like them." With a smile, "With you, then I won't be alone." ”

With that, she took off her coat and jumped into the pool for a swim.

The fish were very curious, and followed her from a distance, but they were always vigilant and did not dare to approach.

When he was tired of smiling, he saw a large oval stone at the bottom of the pool, so he leaned on it to rest, and before he knew it, he took a nap.

Sleeping underwater is much more comfortable than sleeping in a bed.

A head slowly poked out from under the stone, and the neck stretched longer and longer. The face is square, the nose is raised, revealing two small round eyes, the eyes are sunken, and in the two slender eyes that are oblique, the black eyeballs are turned up, showing a cold appearance, and the mouth is very wide, accounting for the width of the whole face.

Although its movement was very small, Xiaoxiao still felt a slight vibration in her back, woke up, opened her eyes, and Mu Ran saw an ugly face in front of her, staring at her with two eyes without emotion, startled, and rolled over and swam away.

That head was also scared back into her shell.

Only then did she see that it was a turtle, and the concentric circles on the shell were blurred, and it was impossible to tell its age.

Judging by the antiquity of its shell, it is estimated to be more than 20 years old.

Judging from the thickness of the tail and the shape of the body, it looks more like a female.

"What shall I call you, Aunt Turtle or Grandma?" Asked with a smile.

Hearing that she could speak like a fish, the turtle poked its head out again, looked at her coldly, and said, "Little hairy boy, you should be from the sea, right?" ”

"You're so powerful, do you know who I am?"

"Sharks."

"I'm a merman? How do you know? ”

"About 800 years ago, I saw one. However, she died a terrible death. ”

Lived so long? This grandma is grandma's grandma's grandma!

Xiaoxiao asked curiously, "How did the merman you said die?" ”

"The people who grabbed her shut her up in her room every day, smoked her eyes with chili peppers, made her cry incessantly, and turned her tears into baskets of pearls. After she was blinded by crying and could no longer shed tears, she was skinned alive and her skin was made into a shark coat. Her body was boiled into everlasting lamp oil. ”

These words made Xiaoxiao's whole body flutter when she heard it, and the milky white close-fitting shark clothes on her body looked extremely bloody.

"If I'm a merman, why do I wear the skin of my compatriots? So you must be mistaken, I'm not a merman, am I? ”

"You don't even know who you are?"

Knocking on his head with a smile, he really couldn't think of something, and after he rushed to the sea with the earth-shattering column of water, he began to be a little confused, remembering some things, and forgetting many problems related to himself.

"I believe what you say, so why do I have a shark coat on me?" asked with a smile and confusion.

"This shark coat was passed on to you when your mother gave birth to you, evolved from the clothes in her body, grew up as you grew up, and accompanied you for life, which is equivalent to your protective clothing."

Han Xiao was relieved, approached the thousand-year-old turtle, touched her stone-like rough shell and said: "I didn't expect such a small pond to hide dragons and crouching tigers, and there is a well-informed grandmother like you." ”

"Don't underestimate this pond, it has existed since the beginning of heaven and earth, it is a natural living pool, the bottom of the pond is connected to the underground river, and the underground river leads to the sea."

"No wonder my pool water is very fresh and tastes good."

"This is not where you should be. Let's go, little hairy boy, and go back to the sea. I don't want to see a second tragedy happen. The turtle persuaded.

"But I haven't seen enough, what a pity to just leave."

"Curiosity kills." Turtle warning.

The words pierced into Xiaoxiao's head like a needle, awakening one of her sleepy memory cells, and another voice seemed to say the same thing, but couldn't remember who said it.

"Humans are terrible, and I just got ashore and got into trouble." She muttered.

But perhaps because she was too young, curiosity still prevailed over fear, and she didn't want to turn around and go back.

"You come to the world of humans, you will get nothing but experience their cruelty, it is better to go back and enjoy the life of the merman that should belong to you."

"Let me think about it." Although she said this, she didn't have the slightest idea of going home. I haven't walked around the streets of the capital yet.

"Smile!" Above the water, Jin Ning's anxious shout suddenly came, "Smile!" ...... with a smile."

Then he also joined Banyue's voice: "Smile! ...... with a smile."

Soon, there were two plops, and someone should have dived.

"Grandma Turtle, I'll talk again next time." With a smile, she opened her arms, caught the water between her feet, and swam to the surface.

The turtle pursed his lips and said in the back: "If you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer in front of you." ”

Xiaoxiao didn't answer, she was thinking it was funny.

------------------------

Jin Ning went to find Ban Yue, and Pan Yue decided to come and explain the reason to Hanxiao himself.

The two of them came to this backyard and searched every corner, but they didn't see Xiaoxiao, and finally saw Xiaoxiao's clothes and soft cloth shoes by the pond.

I saw that the lotus flowers covered half of the pond, and there was no figure.

They shouted for a long time, but there was no answer.

The more Pan Yue thought about it, the more frightened he became, although the pond was not big, the water was surprisingly deep, and ordinary people had to float to the surface of the pond to breathe if they couldn't swim to the bottom of the pond at all.

Even I have never reached the bottom of the water, only know that there are many aquatic plants growing at the bottom of the water.

Didn't you smile and get entangled in aquatic plants and have an accident?

He hurriedly jumped into the water and searched around. Jin Ning also jumped into the water after him.
