Extra 1: Turtle

Xing Ruyi is going crazy!

In broad daylight, she actually lost her father-in-law, and it was because she wanted to buy the osmanthus cake she was holding.

She looked at the people coming and going in the market, and took a heavy bite on the osmanthus cake with some regret.

Three days ago, she had woken up from her slumber. When she opened her eyes, she saw a haggard fox who was almost about to grow green stubble sitting in front of the bed and looking at her. It wasn't until she pinched his face with her hand that he came to his senses and took her into his arms.

That hug was really strong enough, and it directly squeezed out the little air left in her chest. She rolled her eyes, feeling that she was almost about to become the first poor person in Qingqiu to be embraced to death by her father-in-law. Fortunately, the fox knows to stop the loss in time, otherwise it would not be her standing here in a hurry, but the fox looking for something to continue.

Seeing that Xing Ruyi first looked around anxiously, then took a bite of osmanthus cake and stood in a daze, and the little shopkeeper who sold osmanthus cake kindly called her and pointed to the right.

"Madam, your father-in-law seems to have gone over there just now."

"Thank you! Thanks a lot! ”

Xing Ruyi came back to his senses, thanked him repeatedly, and took out a few copper plates and handed them to the little shopkeeper.

"Well, this is the money to buy osmanthus cakes."

The little shopkeeper smiled and pushed back: "Madame forgot, the money for this osmanthus cake has been paid for by your father-in-law just now." ”

"Oh." Xing Ruyi smiled awkwardly, and with an idea, he forced the money to the young man: "The shopkeeper misunderstood, this is not the money to pay for this piece, but I think your osmanthus cake tastes very good, so I want to buy another piece." ”

The little shopkeeper rubbed his hands busily and took over the copper plates: "So that's the case, I misunderstood Madame." This is your osmanthus cake, take it. ”

"It's big!"

"The extra ones I gave to my wife. Isn't Madame looking for your husband? I guess I'm going to the fish market over there to see the excitement. "After doing two orders of business in a row, the shopkeeper's mood is also very good. This mood is good, and there are naturally more words. As he spoke, he also pointed out a specific direction to Xing Ruyi with his hand: "Madame, I don't know, the little brother who fished caught a rare thing the day before yesterday. ”

"What is it?"

"It's always a turtle."

"I thought it was something new, could it be that there are very few turtles in our river or there were no turtles in the past?"

"If it's an ordinary turtle, it's not fresh." The little shopkeeper shook his head: "This turtle can speak." ”

"I've seen a talking bird, but I haven't seen a talking turtle. The shopkeeper is busy, I will also go to see the excitement, and by the way, I will find my lost father-in-law. ”

"Madame is really good at laughing, how can you get lost as a big living person, it is possible that you have been abducted. After all, he was born handsome. ”

"Hey! I'm worried about that, too. ”

Xing Ruyi sighed lightly as she spoke, left the stall with the shopkeeper's kind smile, and walked towards the fish market.

When she first woke up, she asked the fox how long she had been asleep.

The fox said, "Three days! ”

She looked at the new green stubble on his chin and didn't believe it. It's not that she and the fox haven't been in the same place, not to mention three days, that is, thirty days, without eating, drinking, washing or changing, and the fox can't toss himself into that kind of sloppy appearance.

Later, she learned that the three days in the fox's mouth were the three days of Qingqiu. Converted into a human calendar, it is a full three years. It was only then that she realized how heavy Chang Tai's sword that stabbed her was. The reason why she had no consciousness in the reincarnation wheel was because of the spell, and after she walked out of the reincarnation wheel, she collapsed in an instant. At that time, even if she didn't mention it, the fox would take her to Qingqiu.

After waking up, she had no interest in Qingqiu, which she was thinking about, but missed her days in the world more and more. The fox saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart, and quietly brought her out when he found an opportunity.

Xing Ruyi was timid, neither daring to go back to Luoyang to see his rouge shop, nor willing to go to Yunjiaji, for fear of touching the scene. The fox left her alone, and chose a lively town in the mortal world at random and landed. That thought that after only a few moments, the fox was gone.

Xing Ruyi bit the osmanthus cake in his mouth, and held a bag of hot ones in his hand, and squeezed into the fish market.

After only two steps, I felt that the osmanthus cake in my mouth was smoked by the fishy smell here. She frowned, planning to find a place to throw away the osmanthus cake.

"Madam, don't you want the osmanthus cake in your hand? Can you give it to me? ”

A pair of small, mud-stained hands reached out to her.

"My name is Ling'er, that's my younger brother, and my nickname is Doudou. My father is a fisherman, my mother is a fish seller, and my brother and I will also help my mother sell fish. However, our family was so poor that we didn't have enough money to buy rice and grain. My brother was greedy and always wanted to eat osmanthus cake, but my father wouldn't let me buy it, and my mother said she couldn't afford it. So madam, if you don't want the osmanthus cake in your hand, can you give it to my brother? ”

The soft and glutinous voice, coupled with the words that were neither humble nor arrogant, sounded a little distressing, so that Xing Ruyi instantly had a good impression of the little girl in front of her who was combed with a double bun and a pair of big flickering eyes. Coupled with her name, Xing Ruyi instantly thought of the bell that called her aunt back then, and her heart softened all of a sudden. She squatted down and looked at her at eye level: "Can you tell my sister, how do you know that your sister doesn't want the osmanthus cake in her hand?" ”

"Can I say that?"

"Absolutely."

"Madame is not angry?"

"Sister is not angry!"

"Actually, there is nothing. In the past, there were also wives who bought osmanthus cakes to come to the fish market to choose the small, beautiful fish that could be used for ornamentation. They said that the fishy smell here was so stinky that they even dyed the osmanthus cake with them, so they would throw it away. ”

"Did you ask them before?" Xing Ruyi's question was originally unintentional, but she could see the hidden pain in the little girl's eyes, she actually blamed herself a little, and hurriedly handed the osmanthus cake to the little girl, and said: "Sister is unintentional, if you don't want to answer, don't answer again." ”

"Madame is a good person, but it doesn't mean that the lady who came here is a good person." Ling'er said and took the bag of osmanthus cakes: "Ling'er also asked the lady next to her before, but they either pretended not to hear, or they didn't want to take care of Ling'er when they heard it, and some would deliberately throw the osmanthus cake into the sewage in front of Ling'er." Of course, there are also some curses. However, Ling'er never replied, nor did she resent. As my mother said, those osmanthus cakes didn't belong to us in the first place, and those ladies threw them away if they were willing to give them. Ling'er, just ask a few more ladies, and you can always meet kind-hearted people. ”

Ling'er said, with a shy smile.

"Mother is right, today, Ling'er met the kind lady in her mother's mouth."

Xing Ruyi didn't know what to say, she just reached out and helped Ling'er comb the broken hair on her forehead.

"These osmanthus cakes have a fishy smell and are no longer delicious. Why don't I buy another one for you and my brother? ”

"No, you don't! No! Not really anymore! Mrs. can give this bag of osmanthus cake to Ling'er, and Ling'er is already grateful. Ling'er first waved her hand anxiously, and then bowed heavily with Chong Xingruyi: "Madame, have you forgotten?" Ling'er and her younger brother are both children of the Yu family. These fishy smells may be a little unpleasant for a delicate lady like you, but Ling'er and her brother are used to it. If you don't have these fishy smells when you eat, you won't get used to it. ”

Ling'er said, looked at Xing Ruyi's outfit, and then asked, "Is Madame also here to sell fish?" Is it to buy the kind of fish to eat, or to watch the fish. The uncles and uncles in this fish market are all familiar with the bells, and they also know whose fish is the most delicious, whose fish is the most beautiful, and whose fish is hidden. Ling'er took her wife to buy it, and she could make the price the most affordable. ”

"Ling'er is so good, but my sister is not here to buy fish." Xing Ruyi said, and went to the court: "I heard from the shopkeeper who sells osmanthus cakes that there is a talking turtle in this fish market, and my sister thinks it is fresh, so I want to come and have a look." Does Ling'er know whose house the turtle is? ”

"I know, I know, the turtle was brought back by my father to Uncle Wang." Ling'er nodded again and again: "Madam, don't look at Uncle Wang as an old fisherman, he is stronger than my father, but he is timid." The turtle was originally going to be sold to rich people for them to do good deeds, but when it was caught, it opened its mouth and begged Uncle Wang to spare his life. Uncle Wang, he was almost scared to death. It was my father's courage that he was able to catch the turtle. However, it is still placed in Uncle Wang's house. ”

"Can Ling'er take my sister over to have a look?"

"Yes, yes, but Madame is going, if you just want to listen to that turtle, I'm afraid you will be disappointed."

"Why?"

Ling'er shook her head: "This, Ling'er doesn't know." I only know that when the turtle was first brought back, it was indeed able to speak. Another gentleman who is literate and hyphenation said that when he passed by the fish market, he heard the turtle reciting a poem. But later, the turtle refused to speak, whether it was Uncle Wang teasing it, feeding it with something, or beating him with something, he refused to speak, and in recent days, he has shrunk into the turtle's shell and refused to come out. ”

"In that case, it's also a turtle with a lot of personality."

"What is personality?" Ling'er asked, holding up a small face.

"Personality, personality is different, just like Ling'er, it is different from other children in this fish market."

"That lady has a lot of personality, too." Ling'er turned her face sideways and added, "Madam, do you still want to see the turtle?" If we go, we'll have to do it as soon as possible. Ling'er heard from her father that after noon, the turtle was going to be bought. ”

"Somebody wants to buy that turtle?"

Ling'er nodded: "Well, I heard that he is a fortune teller." I came to the fish market twice and said what kind of rare thing this turtle is...... It's a rare tortoise, so you have to buy it back. Uncle Wang saw that the turtle refused to speak again, and he was worried that he had no choice, so he saw that someone offered money to buy it, so he sold it. ”
