Chapter 39 How could there be such an unlucky person?
Jingzhen also walked over and squatted next to Baoya: "Yeah."
"But the one I brought back was fine." Baoya looked surprised. "How could it die?"
"Because this unlucky kid was walking on flat ground and fell, these river clams hit the stone steps and their shells were broken." Nan Xuan said from the side.
“……?”
Baoya's eyes widened in surprise: "Brother Xiaojing is very skilled, how could he fall flat on his face?"
The last time Brother Xiaojing took her to the top of a tree, she flew up with just a tap of her toes.
"Because he is unlucky." Nan Xuan imitated Baoya's speech and squatted down beside the two of them.
"Master!" Jingzhen puffed out his cheeks and glared at him.
"Hahaha, what's there to hide? I think this little girl is just the opposite of you. She's lucky." Nan Xuan said as he pinched Baoya's little face.
After hearing what he said, Baoya also became curious: "Then tell me about Brother Xiaojing."
Then he looked at Jing Zhen who was standing beside him: "Brother Jing, I will never laugh at you."
Jingzhen still puffed up his cheeks and glared at Baoya and Nanxuan.
Yun Chenglu interrupted, "It's okay. Actually, I can be unlucky sometimes. One winter, it snowed heavily and the ground was frozen. Big Brother, San Ya, and Si Ya were all fine when they passed by, but I fell flat on my face!"
"Pfft," Nan Xuan laughed, "You might have almost gotten there. When our Jingzhen was a child, he wanted to eat water chestnut cake. The servants at home prepared it and brought it to the door. But the maid tripped and the whole plate of water chestnut cake rolled all over the floor."
"We went out to see the lanterns on the fifteenth day, but the carriage wheel broke that very night. Whenever Jingzhen wanted to go to the Spring Dynasty's tea and poetry gathering, it would rain. And these koi, I feed them all myself, but I let this unfortunate kid feed them for two days, and two of them died."
Baoya: ...
Yun Chenglu: ...
How could there be such an unlucky person?
Jingzhen on the side glared at Nanxuan angrily, then stood up and left in anger.
Baoya quickly chased after him: "Brother Xiaojing, don't be angry, I will share my good luck with you."
Jingzhen stopped walking as she pulled his sleeve, staring at her with a stern face.
Baoya blinked her eyes like purple grapes: "Besides, last time I fell into the cave, you didn't have any bad luck. Instead, I was the one who was more unlucky."
Jingzhen: ...
This silly little girl seems to have some misunderstanding about bad luck.
He fell from such a high place without any injury and even found a big river clam in the Lingquan Pond. How unlucky was he?
On the contrary, he wanted to bring the clams back to raise them, but he ended up breaking the shells and the clams died.
However, when he was with Baoya, it seemed that nothing bad happened.
"I don't want your luck." He said with a stern face.
"Then I'll come and play with you often," Baoya said seriously, "that way, you won't be unlucky again."
“…”
Nan Xuan looked at the two children, one tall and one short, one with a stern face and the other smiling, which was very interesting.
He went into the house, took out a plate of snacks and placed it on the stone table in the courtyard, and called the three children: "Come and eat. It's getting dark. Let Jingzhen take you home later."
When Baoya heard that there was food, her eyes lit up and she pulled Jingzhen to run to the stone table.
Yun Chenglu felt helpless when he saw her little foodie look.
There were several kinds of exquisite snacks on the plate that Nan Xuan brought to them, such as red bean cake, peach blossom cake, Ruyi cake, and jujube paste cake, which dazzled Baoya.
As soon as she tasted it, she found it was extremely delicious. Baoya had eaten half a plate of pastries without realizing it.
When she came to her senses, she sucked her little finger and blushed.
I ate too much accidentally, and Brother Xiaojing and Second Brother didn’t get to eat much.
However, no one argued with her about this.
Nan Xuan watched her finish her meal with a smile, tapping his fingers on the table: "After you eat my food, you have to help me with some work, little girl."
"What are you going to do?" Baoya looked innocent, completely unaware that she was being tricked.
Jingzhen glared at Nanxuan and said to Baoya, "Don't agree to him, he will bully children."
Baoya suddenly laughed: "Brother Xiaojing, you said a lot of words at once."
Jingzhen: ...
He was really going to be pissed off to death by this silly little girl and his master.
At this time, Nan Xuan had already carried out a small backpack from the bamboo house and showed it to Bao Ya: "Here, five large river clams. I got them with great difficulty. Jing Zhen, I am worried about them, so you can help me raise them. When they produce pearls, you can give me half of them."
"So good?" Yun Chenglu looked at him in disbelief.
"Because river clams are difficult to raise, there are too few people who know how to do it. Since you were able to keep the previous one alive, these should be able to do it too."
Baoya thought about her brother saying that he would come home during his break and teach her how to raise river clams, so she nodded happily and said, "Okay!"
However, she took a look into the basket, picked one out, touched the clam with her little hand, and handed it to Jingzhen: "Brother Jing, I want to raise it with you."
Jing Zhen held the large river clam in both hands, frowning: "But I can't raise it well."
"It's okay. I just gave it good luck, so it won't die." Bao Ya said seriously, "My eldest brother said I can feed them soy milk, a little every five or six days. He will be back in a few days and will teach me how to raise river clams. When I learn it, I will teach you."
For some reason, Jingzhen looked at the big river clam with a shiny shell in his hand and actually felt that he should be able to do it this time.
He nodded and said, "Okay, then we'll raise it together."
Nan Xuan reached out and patted Jing Zhen on the shoulder: "You must do your best and don't embarrass your master."
The backpack filled with four river clams was still a bit heavy, so Yun Chenglu took it and carried it on his back.
It was getting dark, and Nan Xuan sent Jingzhen to take Baoya and Yun Chenglu home, while he went to cook.
After leaving the peach forest, there was a strange bamboo forest shrouded in mist. Jingzhen picked up Baoya and asked Yun Chenglu to follow him closely.
I was unwilling to fall behind, so I ran in front of Jingzhen to lead the way.
Jingzhen accompanied the two of them to the village entrance. After watching Yun Chenglu and Xiao Baoya slowly walk away, he turned around and walked back with Gu Wang.
Unexpectedly, before he took a few steps, he heard a "howl" behind him. It was a childish and clear voice, imitating the howl of a wolf.
He stopped and turned around. Baoya lay on Yun Chenglu's shoulder, stretching out her little hands to say goodbye to him.
He was stunned for a moment, then imitated Baoya and howled "Awoo" in response.
The lonely king looked up at his little master and was about to open his mouth when Jing Zhen grabbed him and took him away.
When Yun Chenglu took Baoya home, Zhao Zhilan was already looking out the back door worriedly.
Seeing the two people walking towards me briskly, my heart finally settled down.
"You naughty boy! Where have you been going with your sister?"
Yun Chenglu chuckled and dodged her kick: "Grandma, let me tell you something. Baoya and I have seen a paradise on earth."
"What peach garden?" Zhao Zhilan didn't understand.
"It's a really great place." Baoya blinked and moved closer to Zhao Zhilan. "I can only tell grandma. Let's go home and talk about it."
