After turning around in the fish market, I finally arrived at the shop that Ling'er said. The shop was small and uncared for, and some live and dead fish were mixed together, giving off a strong stench.

Xing Ruyi covered his mouth and nose and asked Ling'er: "Is this the one?" ”

"This is it! Although I don't know what that turtle is, my mother said that it must not be a good thing. ”

"Where do you start?" Xing Ruyi poked his head and looked inside: "This turtle is originally a thing that represents longevity and auspiciousness, and when you meet this person who can speak, it can be regarded as a kind of auspiciousness." ”

"There is nothing auspicious in this world. My mother said that these are all lies. The more you have a big business, the more bad things you do, and if you don't put in order something to make yourself feel at ease, I'm afraid that you will be awakened by your conscience when you sleep at night. ”

"You're a little girl." Xing Ruyi said, and poked lightly at Ling'er's body: "However, I think what your mother said is quite right." It's just, how do you know if this turtle is not a good thing? ”

"Understood."

said that Ling'er was a little adult, and this bell was still panting. She crossed her hands on her waist and pointed to the door: "Madame is not from our fish market, so naturally I don't know." Before we caught this talking turtle, Uncle Wang was a well-known hard-working person here. He got up early and went out to fish before dawn, and at night, when the sun had sunset, he came back with his lamp, which he was reluctant to pour grease. When he got home, he didn't bother to wash his face, so he hurried to dispose of his fish.

Uncle Wang is not like my father. My father is lazy and careless, and this fish is always mixed and sold together. For as long as I can remember, my mother has always talked about him, but after talking about it for so many years, I haven't seen my father grow up. Otherwise, how could my family's life be so sad.

Uncle Wang is different, Uncle Wang is diligent and careful. The fish he brought back were not only divided according to size, but also according to fat and thin. This small fish has a way of selling small fish, a big fish has a way of selling big fish, and even a dead fish, Uncle Wang has a way to exchange it for money. So, Uncle Wang is the richest person we have here.

But Madame will see what this shop has become now. Ever since he came back from catching this turtle, Uncle Wang has listened to the words of others, hoping that this talking turtle can bring him fortune.

In the first two days, it really attracted a lot of people to watch. But when the turtle opened his mouth, wasn't it that the king in the river had become a fine, and there were many people who watched it, and no one mentioned the matter of buying. Now, although the turtle has been sold, the little money from the sale of the turtle is not enough to fill these holes. ”

Ling'er said, pointing to the stinky fish on the ground.

Xing Ruyi nodded and held out a thumbs up at Ling'er.

Ling'er tilted her head, stunned.

"Sister, this is praising Ling'er. What Ling'er just said is great! Most of the people in the world are like this, always demanding to get rich overnight, and it is better to get up the next morning, and all the silver that can fall from the sky will fall into their own courtyard. ”

"That's nice. If there is really silver in the sky, my father and mother don't have to work so hard. However, it's better not to make a good order, my mother said, money that comes for no reason will cause bad things. As long as our family is safe and sound, life can always be good. Ling'er said, walked to the door, and knocked on the door frame with his hand: "Uncle Wang, it's Ling'er." Ling'er brought a kind lady over, and you want to see your turtle. ”

Ling'er called a few times in a row, but didn't hear any response, so her brows furrowed, and she walked back to Xing Ruyi's side a little unhappily: "Strange, Uncle Wang has been in the shop these days." Aunt Wang went back to her parents' house, and no one could take care of her in this shop. Besides, the doors of this shop are still open. ”

"Perhaps, it's going to the shop next door."

"Ling'er next door also knows, Madame, wait a while, Ling'er will go over and have a look."

Ling'er said, a smile bloomed on her face again, and she slammed out.

Faintly, Xing Ruyi seemed to hear some voices. She focused and listened with her ears sideways, only to find that it was a man's low moan. She stood there and thought for a moment, then walked to the shop.

The shop is obviously more chaotic, but these messes are artificially created in a panic situation. Following the rules of those things scattered, Xing Ruyi went to a small room, and then watched a scene that made her want to laugh but couldn't bear to laugh.

A turtle lying upside down on the face of a middle-aged man. A turtle claw poked down and rushed down the man's throat. Because his mouth was pressed by the turtle's belly, the man couldn't make a sound, and could only whine in a low voice.

It is said that in the battle between the turtle and the middle-aged man, the turtle is obviously at a disadvantage, but for some reason, the middle-aged man seems to be very afraid of the turtle lying on his face, and he doesn't dare to move when he lies there.

Remembering what Ling'er said, this Uncle Wang is also an honest and responsible person, Xing Ruyi couldn't bear to see him being bullied by the turtle all the time, so he stepped forward, pinched the turtle shell with his hand, and lifted the turtle from the middle-aged man's body.

The turtle stared at Xing Ruyi with a pair of small black eyes, and the middle-aged man lying on the ground actually kept his status quo and howled loudly.

Xing Ruyi had a headache, I don't know if it was because he inadvertently broke in, which ruined the good thing of this person and a turtle. She reached out and poked the turtle's head and asked, "Are you the talking turtle?" ”

The turtle glanced at Xing Ruyi, and his head subconsciously wanted to shrink into the turtle shell. Xing Ruyi was not in a hurry, stretched out two fingers, and clamped them around its neck.

"I heard that Uncle Wang has already sold you. The buyer is a fortune teller who can do turtle divination. Counting the hours, it's almost there. As for you, it's useless to shrink into a turtle shell, because the fortune teller must have a way to get you out. What will happen to this turtle without a shell? Is it burned into a vegetable, or boiled into a soup? ”

"Say no more! I want you to stop talking! ”

The turtle's four feet were swaying in the air, its mouth opening and closing, and it actually spoke human words.

"Willing to speak?" Xing Ruyi flicked the turtle's head: "Tell me, how did you get stuffed into this turtle?" ”

"You—" The turtle looked at Xing Ruyi, trying to widen the turtle's eyes.

"What am I?" Xing Ruyi put the turtle on the ground, then looked at Uncle Wang, who was still lying down, and asked, "Uncle Wang, are you injured?" ”

"Girl?"

Uncle Wang wiped his tears and looked at the turtle at her feet with some fear.

"Ling'er brought me here. She called you at the door several times, but she didn't hear the answer, so she went to the neighbor to look for you. I was standing in the courtyard, but I vaguely heard someone moaning, so I took the liberty of coming in to take a look. Coincidentally, I met you, Uncle Wang. Well, can I talk to this turtle alone? Uncle Wang rest assured, after the chat, I will return the turtle. ”

"No need to pay it back! No need to pay it back! Uncle Wang waved his hand in horror, and then realized that he had promised this turtle to sell it, and then changed his words: "I mean, I know who Madame is." It was the kind woman that Ling'er had just said. Actually, I heard the bell call me. But this beast was lying on my face at that time, and I just wanted to say yes in my heart, and I couldn't open my mouth. ”

"Brute! Who do you say brute! ”

The turtle probed its neck and opened its mouth to bite Uncle Wang's trouser leg.

Uncle Wang was frightened, and immediately hit the ground and rubbed back.

"Hmmm! Don't be scary! Xing Ruyi held down the turtle shell, and the turtle opened its mouth, but it could only helplessly pull the soil on the ground in place.

Uncle Wang looked at Xing Ruyi, and then at the turtle on the ground, exhaled heavily, sat up, wiped the cold sweat on his head, and said a little weakly: "Madame wants to ask it something, just take it out and ask." I can't mess with this thing. If I hadn't promised that gentleman before, I would have given this turtle to Madame. Now...... Mrs. Lao, when the gentleman comes, give him the turtle directly. It doesn't matter how much you want. ”

Xing Ruyi smiled, thanked Uncle Wang, pinched the turtle shell, and took the turtle to the open space in front of the shop. At this time, it was almost noon, and there were no more customers in the fish market. The shopkeepers even seized the time to cook and eat, which just gave Xing Ruyi the opportunity to talk to the turtle.

In order not to scare others, Xing Ruyi still chose a corner with a relatively small back and put the turtle on the ground.

"Say, Mr. Turtle?"

"What do you want me to say?"

The turtle was a little reluctant, and even a little annoyed, and naturally had no good temper in the face of the punishment.

"Tell me why you became a turtle, of course." Xing Ruyi squatted down and poked the turtle's head with his hand again: "There are six realms in this heaven and earth, and only those who have done bad things in their previous lives will be punished and fall into the beast path. Obviously, you are not among them, because you are not speaking turtle language, but human language.

I've seen this human-speaking animal, too. But this kind of thing, mostly called a demon or a monster, has to be cultivated for at least one or two hundred years. But what about you, Zhou doesn't have a trace of mana up and down, and his anger is so heavy, he is not a cultivator at first glance.

This is neither a beast path that has been punished and fallen, nor is it a little turtle that has cultivated into a spirit, and can speak human language, so it is only possible to give birth to one. It's your soul that has been stuffed into this turtle.

Supposedly, there is nothing wrong with being a turtle, at least it will live longer than most people, and if you are lucky, it is not difficult to live for thousands of years. But you're just a tortoise. This turtle, as far as I know, needs to be burned day and night with fire to perfectly remove the shell and finally make it into an artifact of divination. ”

Xing Ruyi said, pounding on the turtle's shell: "You, you, what did you do to be punished like this?" ”
