Chapter 1342 Ah Jiu’s request
"No wonder the children want to take it. My old lady likes these pearls very much."
Grandma Xiao's eyes exclaimed, "So beautiful."
Xiao Xiao stretched out his hand in front of grandma.
Up close, the pearls are flawless and radiant.
The Xiao family’s grandma clicked her tongue.
After a while, he looked up at Xiao Xiao and asked, "What are you doing?"
"What are you doing so close?"
"My eyesight is fine."
"Besides, I also have this pearl."
Grandma Xiao pulled the red thread around her neck, "Isn't this the pearl in the amulet you gave grandma before?"
"Keep these pearls yourself."
"Grandma, you can take more if you like."
Xiao Xiao's eyebrows arched, "I have a lot more there."
"Keep a lot of them well."
The Xiao family's grandma glared at Xiao Xiao slightly, "Grandma, it's useless to take more."
……
Xiao Xiao smiled slightly and put the pearl away.
"What's going on?"
Father Xiao asked for details, "Why did the child take away the pearl?"
The kid Xiaoxiao said that these pearls belong to the fish in the pond, which means... "These pearls are at the bottom of the pond, right?"
"Yeah."
Xiao Xiao nodded, confirming Father Xiao's guess.
Then he briefly described the whole story.
"Oh, what a coincidence."
Grandma Xiao couldn't help but laugh, "That child is destined to have this pearl."
"He can touch it this way."
"No."
Xiao's mother also raised her eyebrows.
"As long as the child didn't do it on purpose."
Grandpa Xiao ended the topic, "Okay, it's time to work."
"Don't keep your guests waiting."
……
Xiao Xiao returned to the yard.
Walking to the foot of the white plum tree, the plum girl stood by the pool, holding her skirt and saluting, "Master Xiao Xiao."
"Plum Girl."
The corners of Xiao Xiao's mouth curled up.
He turned his head as if he was aware of it, and the beaded fish emerged from the water.
Not far away, Red Rooster also poked out his head.
……
"Pearl fish."
Xiao Xiao squatted down, looked at the hesitant look on the beaded fish, smiled and stretched out his hand.
Three round, snow-white pearls sparkled on the open palm, creating an increasingly hazy but brilliant halo under the warm spring sun.
Mei Nu pursed her lips slightly, revealing a faint smile.
Then, its figure slowly disappeared into the plum trees.
……
“Tweet~tweet~tweet~”
Mr. Xiao Xiao is so amazing~
Lin flew up and down next to Xiao Xiao, very happy.
The baby spoon circled Xiao Xiao's hand.
The eyes that looked at Pearl were sparkling and radiant.
……
"Master Xiao Xiao, thank you."
The beaded frog fish suppressed the surprised expression on its face, and narrowed its four eyes into slits.
"You're welcome."
Xiao Xiao shook his head slightly, "As a landlord, you naturally have to ensure the safety of your tenants' property."
Um?
The beaded fish tilted its head, with a dull expression on its face.
It doesn't quite understand the meaning of Master Xiao Xiao's last sentence.
Looking at the cute bead fish, the smile in Xiao Xiao's eyes deepened a bit.
He withdrew his outstretched hand and put the pearl into the water.
Just when he was about to put the second one-
"Master Xiao Xiao, please wait a moment."
The bead fish stopped him.
Xiao Xiao closed his fingers slightly and held two pearls in his hands.
He looked at the Pearl Fish inquiringly.
But he found that the pearl fish was swimming in front of him with the first pearl he just put in on its head.
"Master Xiao Xiao, these pearls were originally given to you."
Xiao Xiao was confused, and Pearl Fish was also a little confused, "Master Xiao Xiao, don't you want pearls?"
"I want it."
Xiao Xiao looked at the pearl in his hand, and the smile in his eyes rippled.
"They are very beautiful." However, the improvised explanation he had given to the elderly and children inspired him, "Just put the pearls at the bottom of the pool."
"You can give it to me when I need it."
"Okay."
Mr. Xiao Xiao has no objection to how he wants to make the beaded fish.
……
Seeing the pearl sink into the water, Xiao Xiao slowly got up.
"Next time a stranger comes into the yard, you can find a way to notify my family."
"Make some noise or something."
Xiao Xiao thoughtfully said, "This way similar situations will never happen."
"But-"
Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "After this time, my family will be more careful not to let the previous guests enter the yard by mistake."
"You don't have to worry too much."
"If the stranger who enters the yard does not do it unintentionally, that's fine. If he has other intentions-"
"I don't mind if you scare him."
Others will only think that the uninvited person is just a guilty conscience.
……
"嘤嘤~"
Yingshao's eyes lit up.
Just like it used to hit humans with fruit, it was very interesting.
Xiao Xiao stretched out his hand and flicked Yingshao's forehead, "Just don't go too far."
"嘤嘤~"
Yingshao nodded obediently.
……
Xiao Xiao shook his head slightly.
The monsters in the yard are the most noisy, no, Jian is also noisy. It should be said that the one who knows the most mischief is Yingshao.
He is also used to pretending to be innocent and being cute.
Wait, speaking of pranks...
Xiao Xiao looked at the pool under the sycamore tree.
In fact, the fish is no less generous.
The mountain where the fish lives is still rumored to be haunted.
He was also frightened by the stingray at first.
After all, the fish was the first monster he encountered or saw.
……
Xiao Xiao walked to the sycamore tree.
He crouched down and said, "饥饮鱼."
"Giggle~"
"Giggle~"
Two gurgling fish came out of the water one after another, their mouths widened, and their childish voices were a bit sharp and ethereal, and there was a bit of weirdness for no reason.
A bit... like the laughter of a ghost doll in a horror movie.
Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.
If a person who breaks in hears such a sound for the first time... he will definitely be frightened.
Xiao Xiao felt a little sorry for the unfortunate guy.
Therefore, the necessary vaccinations still need to be taken.
"You should also stop in moderation."
"Don't be too scary."
"Don't show up if you see my family following you."
"Giggle~"
"Giggle~"
The two fish nodded and started chasing each other's long bird-like tails.
"Giggle~giggle~"
……
The sky is getting a little hazy.
Xiao Xiao looked at his watch, it was a quarter past four.
It's still early.
He did not have dinner at home. After saying hello to the Xiao family, he set off back to school.
……
The alley is quiet.
There was a faint noise in the distance.
"Master Xiao Xiao."
The little white fox turned to look at Xiao Xiao, his rose-red eyes particularly bright and bright in the dark alley, "You used me as an excuse just now...should you express your gratitude?"
"What do you want?"
Xiao Xiao is very good.
The little white fox narrowed its slender fox eyes and grinned, "Let's fly a few times in the air."
"Hiss~"
White Snake couldn't help but poked his head out, his bright red vertical pupils flashing, revealing a bit of heartbeat.
