Chapter 137 There Can Only Be One Salted Fish
The little fox stretched out one of its broken legs comically, its small black eyes looking upwards.
Xinbao's pair of big black eyes also looked down quietly.
The little fox tilted his head, and Xinbao also tilted his head.
Then Xinbao took the initiative to talk, imitating it just now: "Huh??"
The little fox tilted his head again in confusion, and Xinbao continued: "Ah! Ah! Ah!"
The little fox finally seemed to understand something. He opened his mouth and uttered a short sound: "Ah?"
The two of them were yelling at each other, and Yan Xiaolang finally couldn't stand it anymore: "What are you talking about?"
Xinbao, who was having a lot of fun, paused for a moment, and then she said doubtfully: "Wife, it's just a fox, not a fox spirit...it definitely can't understand what I'm saying!"
It's simply a sober moment in the world.
Yan Xiaolang laughed at her and said, "Why did you talk for so long?"
Xinbao put her hands around his ears and whispered, "Xinbao pretended that Xinbao was also a fox nun! He seemed to believe it!"
Yan Shenjue's ears were itching, and he dodged it with a smile, "Really? Xinbao is really smart."
As he was talking, he saw two figures trotting up from below, and shouted from a distance: "Xinbao! Xinbao!"
Yan Shenjue stopped smiling and became that cold and silent person again.
Brother Tang San and Yuan Yaochu ran up. Yuan Yaochu asked, "Why didn't you call me when you went up the mountain? Did you kill a fox?"
Brother Tang San was a little out of breath from running, and he came over: "How come you're still alive? Is fox meat delicious?"
"Shh!" Xinbao hurriedly shushed him, "You can't eat it! It's not edible! He's injured, Xinbao wants to heal him, and then send him away."
"Ah?" Brother Tang San wanted to say something, but when he saw his sister waving her hands at him frantically, he stopped talking and stretched out his hand, saying, "Xinbao, come here, brother will hold you."
Yan Shenjue raised his hand without hesitation and handed him the basket of persimmons. Brother Tang San didn't object and took it. Then Yan Shenjue handed the little fox to Yuan Yaochu.
The little fox was a little agitated, and stared at Xinbao with its pair of black eyes. Xinbao quickly said to it, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Xiaoyuan is also a good person! Xiaoxian can't hold it, so let Xiaoyuan hold it for a while!"
Yuan Yaochu laughed out loud: "Yes, Brother Xiao Yuan is a very good man!"
He was not afraid at all. He tilted the fox's head and looked at it. "This fox is pretty and has long fur. But its feces and urine are very smelly, and its body is also smelly. It cannot be kept at home."
"No, I won't raise him at home," Xinbao shook his head firmly, "I'll call him Elbow when he recovers from his injury. There can only be Xinbao at home!"
"Salted fish?" Yuan Yaochu laughed and said, "What is salted fish? Why is Xinbao a salted fish?"
Xinbao sighed and hung his head in sorrow: "Except for being a little cute, it's useless at all. Just called salted fish."
Pfft! Even Yan Shenjue laughed out loud.
Yuan Yaochu laughed and said, "If that's the case, then am I not also a salted fish?"
"No, you are not," Yan Shenjue said calmly, "A child like this is a salted fish, and an adult like this is Tang Sanshui."
Yuan Yaochu: “…”
He covered his chest and said, "Poison, you have a really poisonous mouth!"
A few people went home chatting and laughing.
Yuan Yaochu found a broken basket and made a nest for the fox. Xinbao followed him happily and waited until he put the fox down before asking, "Xinbao, can I touch him?"
"Okay!" Yuan Yaochu held the fox's mouth and said, "Go ahead and touch it. Don't be afraid. It's okay."
Xinbao stretched out his little hand, touched it carefully, and looked at him with bright eyes: "It's so soft!"
It's really soft. Fox fur is much longer and thicker than dog fur. It feels so smooth and comfortable.
Yuan Yaochu smiled and said, "Of course it's soft, otherwise everyone would want a fox fur coat!"
Yan Shenjue looked at the two people talking and laughing face to face, and felt a subtle unhappiness in his heart, as if his friend had left him and made friends on his own.
Yan Shenjue said calmly: "Second brother, let's go home and change clothes."
"Oh, okay." Yuan Yaochu smelled himself, turned away with disdain, and quickly stood up: "Then what about this fox? It's a wild animal after all. It's not safe to leave it here, right?"
Yan Shenjue came over and said to Xinbao, "Xinbao, I'll take this fox away and bring it back tomorrow morning."
Xinbao thought for a moment and said, "Okay then, you have to take good care of him and feed him."
Yan Shenjue nodded.
Yuan Yaochu was about to move it, but as soon as he did, the little fox became agitated and cried mournfully towards Xinbao.
Yuan Yaochu said in surprise: "This little beast, is he relying on you?"
Xinbao squatted down beside the fox, "Xiaoxian will take you to his house to stay for a while, and you can come back tomorrow morning to play with Xinbao, okay?"
Little Fox: "Ah!"
Yuan Yaochu thought he had reached an agreement and tried to move again, but the little fox started to flutter again. Yuan Yaochu laughed and said, "I really rely on you."
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
As they were talking, they heard the sound of a carriage approaching.
There were still some things in the car. When they arrived at the door of the house, Mrs. Lin got off first and carried two large bags of clothes.
It's September now, and after an autumn rain, the weather is very cool. Children like Xinbao who don't move much have to wear layered clothes, and twins have to wear thicker clothes too, so each person has two sets of clothes, one for the older one.
As soon as Mrs. Lin entered the yard, she frowned and asked, "What's that smell? Did the sesame oil bottle fall over?"
You know what, the smell of fox is really a bit like sesame oil, but it’s not the fragrant sesame oil smell, it’s a stinky sesame oil smell, which is hard to describe.
Yuan Yaochu pointed with a smile.
Madam Lin was surprised and asked, "Why did you catch a fox? This kind of thing stinks and is evil. Get rid of it quickly."
Xinbao said anxiously: "But he is injured!"
She ran over, took Madam Lin's hand, and looked up at her cutely: "Mother, the little fox is injured. Can we let him recover before we go? Please!"
"Okay," Mrs. Lin sighed, "raise it."
She pinched her daughter's little nose and said, "Xinbao, if you want to raise her, then raise her. Mother will do whatever our Xinbao wants."
Yuan Yaochu couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at Yan Shenjue.
Yan Shenjue didn't understand what he meant.
Yuan Yaochu saw Madam Lin go into the house to put away her clothes, then he came over and said with a smile: "Uncle Qingshan and Aunt Lin really love your baby. I have never seen anyone love a child so much."
Yan Shenjue said calmly: "Of course."
No, of course, what does it mean?
Yuan Yaochu sighed, but didn't say much. He said to Madam Lin, "Aunt Lin, although this thing's legs are broken, it is still a wild animal after all. You have to pay more attention to it if you want to raise it."
"Okay," Mrs. Lin said, "Don't worry, it's okay."
"Then we'll leave first. You stink like a fox."
Mrs. Lin smiled and said, "Okay, go ahead."
The two men left, and Madam Lin turned around and said to her sons, "I went to the city today, and heard that the imperial edict had arrived, the one about 'Xiaoxie'."
The second brother said: "It's really fast."
Madam Lin nodded and said, "I heard something. Guess what it is?"
The second brother raised his eyebrows when he thought about it and asked, "Liu?"
Mrs. Lin smiled and nodded.
