Chapter 7: Get Out

At dinner, Zhou Xun used the food in his study, and the people were not surprised, so they brought three dishes and one soup by themselves. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

Sweet and sour tenderloin, boiled fish, roasted lettuce with tofu, salted bamboo shoots.

Rice, which is rice with white flowers.

The fish soup is really boiled to the full, with a strong umami flavor and the fragrance of onion juice, which really makes people appetize.

"This crucian carp soup tastes good, Lao Dingtou deserves to be the head of the hotel, and this fish soup is also better than others."

Zhou Xun took a few sips of the fish soup first, praised it, and only felt that it was full of fragrance.

Then he ate in a big gulp, three times and two times, and ate everything, leaving behind the plates and soup bowls that were licked cleanly.

As a family of poetry and book heirlooms, there is a set of rules that have been explored all year round for lying down, such as eating here, Zhou Gui once warned that there must be no grain of rice left and no waste.

The details contain the wisdom and teachings of the predecessors, and they are the true heritage of a family.

Zhou Xun is young and doesn't understand the truth, but he has also developed a good habit of not wasting food under Zhou Gui's coercion and temptation since he was a child.

After dinner, he had some time to fall asleep, and Zhou Xun was free at this time.

So he slipped out quietly, avoiding crowded places, stopping and stopping all the way, and still went around to the ancestral hall.

Seeing that there was no one around, Zhou Xun repeated his old tricks, but borrowed a candle from the ancestral hall, replaced the originally burned candle in the lantern, and grabbed the soft ladder and went down the well.

This time he moved much more neatly, and when he reached the bottom of the well, he found the fallen fire fold, put it in his pocket, and turned around and left.

At this moment he heard a timid child's voice, softly, weakly, echoing at the bottom of the well.

"I'm so thirsty・・・・・・ can I give my saliva a drink?"

Zhou Xun felt a cool breath rushing to his head, and suddenly froze in place.

As the evening approached nightfall, another voice suddenly appeared in the dark dry well, which made him creepy! I'm almost going to shout!

"You can't be afraid, you can't be afraid, people are afraid of ghosts for three points, and ghosts are afraid of people for seven points. The so-called body is not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, and there has never been selfishness in his life! I'm doing it straight, I'm a good man, and I'm not afraid of ghosts! ”

While cheering himself up in his heart, he turned around slowly, instead of turning back directly, Zhou Xun had heard of the saying that there were three fires in the human body, and when he turned his head suddenly, he would temporarily extinguish the two fires on his shoulders, and he was easily confused by ghost illusions, so when he encountered this kind of abnormality, he must not turn back easily.

This time, there was nothing, only the fish, jumping up on the sand, a faint water vapor dragged it, floating in the air, and Zhou Xun looked at each other.

The silver body of the fish glows slightly fluorescent, slightly weaker than the light of the lantern.

The fish was dragging a slender iron chain, and its mouth was open and closed, and it was talking to him.

"Is there any water?"

It was the first time Zhou Xun had seen a talking fish, and he nodded his head with his finger curiously, but was avoided by a beautiful turn of the silverfish.

"My name is Zhou Xun, who are you? Did my father bring it back from the Dragon Palace? ”

The little silver fish drooped its tail in disappointment, and without saying much, hid on the other side of the well. It is very clear that there is no water, and I am not happy! I don't want to talk, I don't want to pay attention to you!

That feeling was easily expressed in its every move.

This fish has become a sperm! It's like a human being!

Zhou Xun seemed to see a three- or four-year-old girl in a trance.

"There's really a young lady's temper! Wait, I'll bring you some water! ”

The little silverfish lay on the sand, motionless, but Zhou Xun knew that it had heard.

Zhou Xun smiled, and he didn't get angry, so he coaxed the girl next door, and always felt that this little fish was like a little girl.

Shaking his head, Zhou Xun climbed up the well.

There is a water tank in the ancestral hall to spare, and someone will be responsible for fetching water to fill it every day, which is ready for fire prevention at any time, and there are several such water tanks.

Zhou Xun easily found a clay pot, filled it full, carefully guarded it, and went down to the bottom of the well.

Then he saw a flash of silver light, and the clay pot had flown out of his hand.

"So fast!"

The clay pot flew in the air, and the small fish flew around the clay pot a few times, and the water inside gushed out on its own, wrapping the small fish, as if it had an extra coat.

Then, it flicked its tail beautifully and slapped it on the clay pot, and Zhou Xun's hand sank, and he caught the clay pot.

Zhou Xun threw away the clay pot indifferently and looked at the scene in front of him in amazement.

When the little fish got such a little water, he got up and played all kinds of tricks with the water, and made all kinds of aquariums, and danced around it; After a while, all kinds of pavilions and figures were demonstrated, which were lifelike・・・・・・

Finally, as if tired of playing, it opened its small mouth and sucked all the water into it, and its small body actually drank the water of the entire clay pot・・・・・・ which was completely unrecognizable from its appearance.

"Dangchang" twice, the iron chain was broken, fell on the sand, broke free from the shackles of the silver fish, turned on the spot, turned into a human form, just like a three or four-year-old girl, wearing a small purple palace dress, with a double bun on her head, jade bracelets wrapped around her hands, and a little water vapor up and down her body.

Zhou Xun was dumbfounded, and when he saw the broken chain again, he wanted to cry without tears.

Seeing that the girl had no intention of leaving, he boldly asked.

"Why are you tied up here?"

"Uncle Zhou did it!"

The little girl with a milky voice, the words are not very clever, and her eyes are flashing.

"You're Uncle Zhou's son, I know."

"My uncle took me away from the fire that night, my grandmother, uncles and aunts were all buried in the fire, my grandfather was also arrested, and I was also taken away by the Taoists.

It was Uncle Zhou who took the risk to save me, so he asked me to change the feng shui for the Zhou family, and I agreed・・・・・・

Although he locked me up, I didn't blame him. ”

Zhou Xu had no idea that his father had really stolen a dragon girl and hid it at home for ten years.

"I just want to sneak back to take a look・・・・・・ I haven't been back for many years, so homesick. Even if it's just a glance・・・・・・ but I don't have a home. ”

Speaking of sadness, the dragon girl cried, and the tears fell on the sand, round and turned into round pearls.

"This pearl - why is it so familiar?"

Ignoring anything else, Zhou Xun picked up a black pearl and took a closer look.

Seeing that Zhou Xun was interested in pearls, Xiaolongnu stopped crying, so she asked curiously.

"Like Uncle Zhou, do you like people's tears?"

Zhou quickly thought of many things and smiled awkwardly.

"That, it's nothing, don't cry casually in the future, it's not good!"

Afraid that Xiaolongnu would ask again, Zhou Xun hurriedly changed the topic.

"My name is Zhou Xun, you haven't told me your name yet?"

Hearing this, Xiaolongnu's face flushed, she glared at Zhou Xun, stomped her feet, turned into a silver light, and rushed out of the well.

"How can anyone ask the name of his daughter's family, Dengzi! Not decent! ”

There is only a sentence as thin as a mosquito, floating in the ears, and it seems that the laughter of the little dragon girl can still be heard.
