Huo Yingjie was stunned. Was this little Xuanxuan telling the story in the Classic of Mountains and Seas?
An ancient god?
A stone statue of a river-guarding beast?
Each one is more outrageous than the other!
Huo Yingjie picked up the little turtle and touched its arms and legs with his hands. The material really looked like stone, but the legs that kept waving showed that it was alive and kicking. It shouldn't be stone!
However, Huo Yingjie was soon relieved. Even a turtle with flesh and blood couldn't talk!
This little turtle could talk, which proved that it must be extraordinary.
"Then tell me, why did you become Tianbao's pet?" Huo Yingjie asked. He couldn't figure out those fantasy things for a while. The most important thing now was to determine whether the little Xuangui had any ill will towards him, and secondly, to know how the little Xuangui knew He Tiantian?
The little turtle's eyes rolled around, thinking about what He Tiantian had just said to it.
"What are you thinking about?" Huo Yingjie asked, "Are you lying?"
The little turtle shook his head and said, "No, no, I was originally in Taoyuan River. Later, the villagers dug the river, and I was uneasy in it. The spell on my body was destroyed by humans. I wanted to take revenge on humans. He Tiantian is very kind. She brought me here from the mountains as a pet."
"Did you speak human words in front of He Tiantian?" Huo Yingjie asked, staring into the little turtle's eyes.
The little turtle shook his head and said, "No, I didn't speak. She treated me as a pet. You are my master, and I want to follow you."
Although it is wrong to deceive the master, He Tiantian treats him very well. It promised He Tiantian and must do it.
Moreover, He Tiantian and the master are a couple, and they will explain it clearly in the future.
As for the snake king, it is indeed difficult to explain, so he can only continue to hide it.
No one likes to see a snake sucking his girlfriend's blood frequently.
In order to prevent the master from thinking too much now, not telling him is the best way to deal with it.
Huo Yingjie listened, but did not speak, but thought carefully about what the turtle said, and then his eyes fell on Zhang Aijun and Li Yunzhong. Having this little thing around him would be of great help to him in his future actions.
"I don't remember who you are, but you said I am your master. How do you judge this?" Huo Yingjie asked curiously, he was most curious about this.
The little turtle said: "That's because Master, you used a drop of blood to draw my consciousness into the stone statue, and our blood is connected.
"Oh!" Huo Yingjie remembered that He Tiantian didn't seem to know that the little turtle could speak before, "Okay, then you will be my pet in the future. Can you still become smaller? I'll put you in my pocket."
The little turtle nodded quickly and said: "Yes, yes."
Soon the little turtle became a little thing the size of two thumbs, and raised its little head: "Master, look, I became smaller, and you taught me this? "
Huo Yingjie was surprised. When will I become bigger or smaller?
"Haha, great." Huo Yingjie said, "You can follow me, but you must listen to me. Can you do this?"
"Yes, yes, you are my master. Xiao Xuanxuan will listen to you in the future." Xiao Xuangui danced with joy, like a child who was spoiled by his parents.
Huo Yingjie looked at Zhang Aijun and Li Yunzhong who were fixed, and said, "In the future, you can't talk in front of outsiders; second, you can't use magic without my permission. Can you do these two points?"
Xiao Xuangui nodded and said, "Yes, Xiao Xuanxuan can definitely do it."
"Well, you can now untie the magic on them." Huo Yingjie said, although he still had many doubts in his heart, but these things obviously cannot be explained in a few words.
In this case, there is a long way to go, and we will slowly understand it in the future.
"In fact, master, we have the same blood, our minds are connected, and we can communicate with each other in our minds. Just like now, we don't need to talk with our mouths, just use our hearts. "The little turtle tilted its head to look at Huo Yingjie, so that they can chat anytime and anywhere without worrying about the people around them.
In fact, sometimes, he envied the Snake King, He Tiantian.
Because the Snake King needs He Tiantian's holy blood, the two have blood fusion, heart and soul, and can speak with their minds.
"Ah?" Huo Yingjie was surprised, and then he tried to speak with his mind, "Then can you hear what I say now?"
"I know, you are asking me if I can hear what you are saying!" The little turtle replied, it really can, it will be a happy little Xuanxuan in the future.
Huo Yingjie also smiled, with Xiao Xuanxuan, he will do many things in the future, no longer need to be passive, can take the initiative.
"Great, Xiao Xuanxuan." Huo Yingjie smiled, "By the way, why are you called Xuanxuan? "
Little Turtle was confused and scratched his head, saying: "I am a whirling turtle. My master saved me and named me Little Turtle."
Huo Yingjie felt a chill. He couldn't stand such a cheesy name. He said: "The name Little Turtle is not used for the time being. Let's restore your real name and call you Little Turtle. How about that?"
"Okay, okay!" The little turtle danced with joy. In fact, it didn't matter what it was called. The key was that it could be with its owner.
Putting aside the fact that the little turtle could talk, which was so scary, this little thing was quite cute in other aspects.
Huo Yingjie pointed at Zhang Aijun and Li Yunzhong, and told the little turtle to let go of the two people.
"Okay, okay." After the little turtle finished speaking, its little claws grabbed in the air a few times and then untied it.
Huo Yingjie carefully observed Zhang Aijun and Li Yunzhong.
"Yunzhong, your cooking skills are really good today." Zhang Aijun said, "I have never eaten such delicious rabbit meat."
"Haha, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. I will go to the river to catch some fish tomorrow." Li Yunzhong said, "I will cook fish for you."
"Okay, let's go together then." Zhang Aijun smiled. He came here to perform a mission, but in fact he was on vacation with Huo Yingjie. "By the way, Comrade Huo, do you like it? If you like it, let's make more."
Huo Yingjie smiled and said, "I like to eat West Lake vinegar fish, and I can make it."
"Okay, then I will catch more." Li Yunzhong smiled, "There should be no hostile forces in this village. This mission is just to take a vacation."
"Pah!" Zhang Aijun hit Li Yunzhong on the back of the head. Although this is the fact, you can't say it out.
"It's okay, we're all family." Huo Yingjie smiled, "Originally, this is a rural area with simple folk customs, not those chaotic borders. I'm here for a holiday, so you should just treat it as a holiday."
As for those hostile forces, they can't get his information for the time being. After all, he's growing too fast, and no one would have thought that a young man under 20 years old would have such achievements.
At the same time, Yan Jing's grandfather is probably covered up, so he's still safe for this year.
As for the future, that's not certain.
Huo Yingjie is easy to talk to, and Zhang Aijun and Li Yunzhong also appreciate Huo Yingjie's character.
In the middle of the night, Huo Yingjie kept chatting with the little turtle with his mind.
When Huo Yingjie fell asleep, the little turtle began to practice. Absorbing the divine power from Huo Yingjie was twice as effective as usual, which made the little turtle very happy. Maybe one day, it can also turn into a human form and stand with its master openly.
Huo Yingjie got up in the morning and felt refreshed.
This puzzled Huo Yingjie. He chatted with the little turtle last night and didn't go to bed until two o'clock in the morning. Now it's only half past five, and he's awake. He doesn't feel sleep deprived at all. Instead, there's a surge of power in his body.
It's like taking a tonic pill.
Actually, it's not right!
How to say it?
Anyway, Huo Yingjie couldn't describe his feelings now, but he was sure that his body contained huge power and endless energy.
When Huo Yingjie went up the mountain to work with He Tiantian today, he was more efficient than yesterday.
"Brother Yingjie, you worked yesterday, aren't your arms and legs sore today?" He Tiantian asked in surprise. When she first started working, it took her several days to get used to it.
Huo Yingjie was also very surprised. His arms and legs were a little sore last night, but now he's not used to it at all!
"Haha, it's okay, you'll get used to it." Huo Yingjie said, "I'll help you for a while, and when we finish the task, we'll go fishing together."
"Okay!" He Tiantian smiled. She likes to catch fish and eat fish even more.
At around ten o'clock, He Tiantian said to Aunt Liu, "Aunt Liu, I have a lot of grass here, I'll send it down first."
"Go, go." Aunt Liu laughed. Four people worked on He Tiantian's side, and only one labor point was recorded. It was too cost-effective.
Even if He Tiantian wanted to leave early, it was okay. After all, her partner was here, and she couldn't work all the time.
"Thank you, Aunt Liu." He Tiantian thanked him. The group went down the mountain, handed in all the grass they cut today, borrowed the fishing net here, and went to the stream on the other side of the dark river to catch fish.
It's just that the water here is a bit fast, there are fish in it, but they are all small fish.
"Master, let me go down. I'll drive out the big fish at the bottom of the underground river." The little spiral turtle said. If the master wants to eat, it, as a little follower, naturally has to help.
Before Huo Yingjie agreed, the little spiral turtle had already jumped into the water, swam upstream, and entered the underground river in the cave.
The little spiral turtle had intelligence. After recovering its original form, it was the king of the water. When it reached the bottom of the river, it stirred and drove out many big fish.
These fish all flowed in from the big river dozens of miles away on the other side of the mountain, and they couldn't get out. They stayed in it for many years, and each one was very big.
Huo Yingjie asked people to pull up the fishing net quickly, and small fish fell into the fishing net from time to time.
Zhang Aijun and Li Yunzhong didn't see the little spiral turtle, but He Tiantian did.
So Zhang Aijun and Li Yunzhong didn't think highly of Huo Yingjie's method, but He Tiantian was not worried at all, just waiting to eat fish at noon.
After a while, an unusual sound came from the cave, but it was not abrupt in the water.
Others didn't notice it, but He Tiantian did.
Just then, a lot of black things swam out from under the water.
Her fishing net was at the narrowest part of the downstream, which was also three meters wide. Zhang Aijun and Li Yunzhong were almost dragged into the river by so many fish.
He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie supported each other and finally pulled the fishing net.
"How do we collect the net now?" He Tiantian asked, "Look at those fish jumping around!"
There were already dozens of fish in the fishing net, and dozens more swam over from behind.
"Li Yunzhong, hold on for two minutes, I'll call someone over." He Tiantian said, there were too many fish, and the four of them obviously couldn't handle it.
Li Yunzhong said, "Okay, I can hold on."
When Li Yunzhong was ready, He Tiantian ran away and said, "Come on, there are still many fish in the river, get the tools out to catch them."
The stream was not far from the animal husbandry team. When He Tiantian ran to the door, she ran into a group of people who had just returned from cutting grass on the mountain.
"Hurry up, there are a lot of fish in the river. We can't catch them with a few people. Call others to get tools." After saying this, He Tiantian ran back quickly. Comrade Li Yunzhong was still struggling to hold on!
He Tiantian ran back and hurried to help pull the fishing net.
Li Yunzhong's forehead was full of sweat. If He Tiantian didn't come, he probably wouldn't be able to hold on.
After a while, Xiang Rong, Zuo Li, and Aunt Liu hurried over with baskets to help.
Zuo Li was very skillful. He made a net bag with a worn-out fishing net and tied it to a bamboo pole. He could catch several fish every time he cast a net.
Everyone didn't have time to pick it up, so they just dumped it not far away. Fish out of water can't jump for much time.
With the fishing net blocking it, most of the fish were caught half an hour later.
There were also dozens of fish in the last fishing net.
Everyone was busy just now and didn't pay attention.
Now that I can take a breath, I can see clearly that most of the fish on the ground are black fish and carp. The small ones weigh four or five kilograms, and the big ones weigh seven or eight kilograms, and there are also more than ten kilograms.
The fish that were caught first are no longer jumping around. The fish that were just caught are full of energy and jumping around.
"What should we do with so many fish?" He Tiantian asked. Looking around, there are probably hundreds of them.
There won't be enough to share with other villagers.
It's better not to share, because they dare not keep them for themselves.
Zuo Li thought for a while and said, "Let's call Village Chief Qi to share. We caught the fish, so we will get more."
"That's fine." He Tiantian agreed.
"Then I'll call Village Chief Qi and ask him to come over." He Tiantian smiled. She didn't care about these fish. Li Yunzhong had already put a few big fish in the backpack.
Aunt Liu took two, the animal husbandry team kept ten, and the rest were distributed to the villagers. They might still get some when the time comes.
Everyone got the benefit, and no one would tell anyone.
After countless proofs, Aunt Liu would never tell anyone about these benefits, and everyone was relieved.
When Village Chief Qi came, he led people to pull the fish to the entrance of the village branch. After doing the statistics, each family got one. Those with more people got a big one, and those with fewer people got a small one. Every household got one, and the villagers didn't say anything!
Village Chief Qi praised the fishermen in public, and this year's advanced people gave them priority.
Everyone saw that they could get fish there, so they went there often, but there were no small turtles, so the villagers could only catch some small fish.
