Chapter 370 Your Highness, something terrible has happened!
Xiao Xixi squatted in front of a small stall.
She stared at the little turtle in the pottery basin and asked curiously, "How long can your turtle live?"
The stall owner was an old man who was puffing on his pipe. Upon hearing her question, he exhaled a puff of smoke and spoke calmly.
"That depends on you. If you take good care of it, it can send you away."
Xiao Xixi: “…”
This old man speaks in a very witty way.
She asked about the price again.
The old man asked, "Which one do you want?"
Xiao Xixi pointed at the smallest turtle and said, "Let's take this one."
"Looking at the way you are dressed, you don't look like a poor person, but why are you so stingy when buying things? You have to buy this small turtle instead of the big ones."
Xiao Xixi said: "The small one looks cuter and is more convenient to carry."
The old man said slowly, "Since you are such a lovely girl, I won't bargain with you. You can take this turtle for eight cents."
Xiao Xixi immediately took out eight cents and gave it to him.
The old man tied up the little turtle with a straw rope and handed it to Xiao Xixi.
Because it was frightened, the little turtle's head shrank inward, and only a round turtle shell was left in Xiao Xixi's hand.
Xiao Xixi ran to find the prince.
"Your Highness, this is my birthday present to you! Do you like it? Are you surprised?"
Luo Qinghan: “…”
He looked at the little turtle in her hand with an expressionless face. He was quite surprised, but he didn't like it at all.
"It's my birthday and you gave me a turtle? What do you mean by that?"
Xiao Xixi defended herself, "This is not a turtle, this is a tortoise! The turtle represents longevity. I gave you the turtle because I hope you can live a long and healthy life."
Luo Qinghan: "There are many things that represent longevity. Why did you have to choose a turtle? This thing is so ugly. I don't want to keep it."
"Come on, I've already bought it, so don't reject my kindness. Besides, you've already promised me that no matter what kind of gift I buy, you can't refuse it. Are you going to go back on your word?"
Luo Qinghan regretted it very much.
He shouldn't have agreed to her just now.
There was no way this woman could choose a normal gift for him.
Her brain circuits will never be normal!
Xiao Xixi forced the little turtle into his hands and said with a bright smile: "Your Highness, please touch it. Look how cute it is!"
Cute as hell!
Luo Qinghan really wanted to throw away the turtle in his hand, but when he thought that it was the first serious gift Xiao Xixi gave him, he hesitated. If he really threw it away, Xiao Xixi would definitely be angry, right?
What if she gets angry and never gives him any gifts again?
In order to get more gifts in the future, Luo Qinghan had no choice but to accept this ugly gift.
He said with a wooden face: "It's too troublesome to hold this turtle. Let's find something to hold it."
Xiao Xixi nodded in agreement: "Well, let's go buy it a small nest!"
She happily took the prince to a nearby porcelain shop.
After careful selection, Xiao Xixi picked out two porcelain basins from a pile of porcelain. She couldn't make a decision, so she turned to ask the prince.
"Which porcelain basin do you think is more suitable for Xiaohan?"
Luo Qinghan: "Who is Xiaohan?"
Xiao Xixi: "Of course it's the turtle in your hand. I just gave it a name, Xiaohan."
Luo Qinghan: "Are you implying something about me?"
"No, I just picked it randomly. If you don't like it, we can change it. How about Xiaoqing?"
Luo Qinghan looked at her expressionlessly, his eyes chilly.
Xiao Xixi: "From your expression, you probably don't like this name, so why not change it to Xiao Hanhan?"
Luo Qinghan: "Come here."
Xiao Xixi stepped back and looked at him warily: "We are outside, you can't hit people, domestic violence is wrong!"
Luo Qinghan: "I'm not going to hit you, I just want to have a good chat with you."
Xiao Xixi slowly moved over: "What do you want to talk about?"
Luo Qinghan grabbed her neck and said coldly, "I think this turtle looks a lot like you, so why not call her Xiaoxi."
Xiao Xixi wanted to refuse.
Luo Qinghan leaned closer to her and whispered in her ear, "Don't you like the name I gave you? If you don't like it, then you won't have any meat dishes tonight."
Xiao Xixi: “…”
She was held by the scruff of fate and had no power to resist, so she could only choose to surrender.
She cried and said, "Then, let's call her Xiaoxi."
Luo Qinghan was satisfied and let go of her neck: "That's good."
He poked the turtle with his slender fingers. The turtle lay on the table pretending to be dead. It refused to move even after being poked, and its whole body exuded a lifeless and decadent atmosphere.
Luo Qinghan said: "It really looks like you."
Xiao Xixi said aggrievedly: "Please don't emphasize this point anymore."
Even if she is a salted fish, she doesn't want to look like a turtle! That would be so ugly!
Luo Qinghan asked: "Have you chosen Xiaoxi's nest?"
Xiao Xixi regretted it very much. If she had known that she would be dragged into this trouble, she should not have been so naughty just now.
She placed two porcelain basins in front of the prince.
"I've picked these two, which one do you think is better?"
Luo Qinghan: "They're both good, let's buy both."
The boss, who had been standing by pretending to be a background board, finally found a chance to speak.
"You have a good eye, young lady. These two porcelain basins are both top-quality products in our shop. The one on the left..."
Luo Qinghan interrupted his chatter: "Just tell me the price."
The boss smiled awkwardly and said, "Two porcelain basins cost two coins in total."
Luo Qinghan took out a piece of silver and gave it to him.
The boss weighed it and found it was exactly two cents. He smiled and said, "I'll pack it for you right away."
Xiao Xixi only asked him to help pack one porcelain basin, wash the other one with clean water, and then put Xiao Xi in it.
Xiaoxi lay motionless in the porcelain basin, continuing to pretend to be dead.
Xiao Xixi poked it, but there was no response.
She asked, "Is Xiaoxi hungry?"
Luo Qinghan: "Maybe."
"What do turtles usually eat? Do they eat meat?"
"Maybe."
Both of them are novice turtle breeders and they have no experience at all.
They turned their heads and looked at Xiao Lingfeng who was following behind them.
Xiao Lingfeng immediately said: "Don't ask me, I just don't know!"
There was no other choice, so they took the little turtle to find the stall owner who was selling turtles and asked him for advice on how to raise turtles.
The stall owner did not keep anything to himself and told them everything he knew.
Xiao Xixi forgot what he said after hearing it, but fortunately there was the prince who had a photographic memory and he had memorized everything the stall owner said.
The two were just about to get some food for Xiaoxi when they met a Yulin Guard on the way.
As soon as Yulinwei saw the prince, he knelt down and spoke excitedly.
"Your Highness, something terrible has happened!"
Prince, your elder brother has been captured by a monster!
If you want your elder brother to be safe and sound, use your monthly ticket to redeem him!
