Chapter 1175: Rejoicing and Disdaining

The review time seems to be very long, but the exam seems to pass in a flash.

Soon, the students' long-awaited winter vacation arrived.

Students dragging suitcases can be seen everywhere in the school, and for a moment the school is a little more noisy than usual.

Early in the morning of the second day after the exam, Xiao Xiao and his friends boarded the high-speed train to Wei Hai.

The journey was long, but because they were full of anticipation for the divine turtle, Zhang Bo and his companions did not feel very tired.

As soon as I arrived at the station, I stood up immediately with full energy.

Xiao Xiao shook his head slightly.

These guys are so excited now, they just hope they don’t get disappointed when they find out there’s no divine turtle at all.

Familiar station.

And a familiar figure waving at them.

"uncle."

Zhang Bo shouted, trotting over and waving his hands vigorously.

"Hello, uncle."

Xiao Xiao, Zhuge Yun, and Zhao Luzheng all greeted them.

"Hey, hello, classmates."

The dark-skinned middle-aged man smiled brightly, "Welcome to Weihai again."

"That's right, Abo."

Everyone followed Uncle Zhang towards the car.

On the way, the middle-aged man suddenly said, "Uncle Li found the sacred turtle."

"found it?!"

Zhang Bo, Zhuge Yun, and Zhao Luzheng said in unison, with a look of surprise on their faces.

Xiao Xiao also raised his eyebrows slightly.

Did you find it?

The combined voices of the crowd startled Uncle Zhang a little.

Uncle Zhang was stunned for a moment before he found his voice and said, "Yes, it was at noon today."

"I wanted to call you and tell you."

He knew that these children came for the divine turtle that Grandpa Li mentioned.

He understands that young people are curious.

Although he felt that they might have made a wasted trip, he didn't say much.

Even if you don't see the turtle in the end, it's good to just think of it as coming here to have fun.

At least, it won't be in vain.

But thinking that they will be here soon, I don't mind a little more time, so I'll just tell them now that I see them.

……

"Did you catch it then?"

Zhuge Yun asked anxiously.

"Nope."

The middle-aged man shook his head. "How can it be so fast?"

"And when you say you saw it, it was only Uncle Li who saw it."

“No one else saw it.”

The middle-aged man smiled bitterly, "If you want to see that divine turtle, you may be disappointed."

"When Mr. Li first said he saw the tortoise, there was no one around. Although the tortoise he described looked strange, it's hard for the rest of us to say that such a creature really doesn't exist in the world."

"After all, there are many strange creatures in the news reports."

"But this time, Uncle Li was followed by many people."

"Among so many people, only Uncle Li saw the sacred turtle."

"Besides, when Mr. Li saw it, he shouted loudly. The others ran over quickly and didn't see any sacred turtle either."

The middle-aged man did not continue speaking, but the meaning of his words was already very clear.

This so-called divine turtle is obviously just Mr. Li’s own fantasy.

Those who originally thought that Mr. Li had discovered some new species had almost given up hope, and everyone just treated it as a way of fooling around with the old man.

……

"Oh, I'm glad you didn't catch me."

Zhuge Yun muttered in a low voice.

If the divine turtle was caught by the old man, wouldn’t it be difficult for them to see it?

You can't just run into someone's house and say you want to see the divine turtle, right?

Uh..., this seems to be possible.

After all, it's a divine turtle, so it's natural for people to be curious about it, right?
It's just a bit troublesome.

It’s better to watch the turtle that hasn’t been caught.

……

"We're here, get in the car." The middle-aged man got in the driver's seat.

A familiar pickup truck.

Zhang Bo sat in the passenger seat, while Xiao Xiao and others sat in their old seats in the open compartment at the back.

But the last time I came was during the summer vacation, and it was night time. Sitting in the back of the car with the cool breeze was quite comfortable.

This time it was winter, and although it was daytime, the cold wind howled as the car started moving, freezing Zhuge Yun and Zhao Luzheng so much that they cried out.

The corner of Xiao Xiao's eye twitched.

"Old Third, please let Jiu hug me."

Zhuge Yun rolled his eyes and looked at the little white fox with fluffy hair with a greedy look on his face.

It looks very warm.

While asking, the "devil's claws" had already stretched out towards the little white fox.

"Crack~"

A slightly dull sound.

Zhuge Yun withdrew his hand suddenly and wanted to take off his gloves to see if there were any red marks on the back of his hand.

But the cold wind whistling in his ears dispelled his idea.

"Deserved it."

Even though he covered most of his face so his expression couldn't be seen, the curled corners of his eyes and the gloating tone in his voice clearly showed Zhao Luzheng's mood at the moment.

"Ajiu doesn't let anyone touch him except the third brother. It's not the first day you know this."

"But this is a different time."

Zhuge Yun looked at the little white fox with a sad look, who was slightly closing his eyes and acting as if nothing had happened. "Ah Jiu, we have been in the same room for such a long time, how can you be so cruel?"

"Don't we have any roommate friendship at all?"

"No."

Zhao Luzheng answered for the little white fox.

Zhuge Yun: ...

"My heart hurts so much."

He covered his chest, pointed at the little white fox with trembling fingers, and said with a look of deep sorrow, "Ajiu, it's not right for you to treat a fox like this."

"Ouch~"

Zhuge Yun quickly retracted the finger he had extended.

The little white fox's tail "lovingly cared" for his finger again.

"Haha~"

Zhao Luzheng laughed, "Ajiu said don't point your finger at it."

"Is that right, Jiu?"

He looked at the little white fox.

The little white fox swung its tail, acknowledging what he said.

Zhao Luzheng laughed even more happily, "Did you see that, second brother?"

"You are disliked by Jiu."

"Do you still want to hug Jiu?"

"Stop daydreaming."

Zhuge Yun: ...

"Old Third, your fox bullied me."

He looked at Xiao Xiao dimly and complained with confidence.

"You don't care?"

"I think Jiu did a good job."

Xiao Xiao's eyebrows curved, and he touched the little white fox's soft head, "What should I care about?"

"Yes."

Zhao Luzheng seconded the proposal, "We must severely crack down on 'dirty hands' and show no mercy."

"Ajiu is a little girl."

Zhuge Yun opened his mouth, but finally closed it.

What else could he say?
You can't really bother with a little fox.

"Hey~"

He sighed in mock manner, "People's hearts are not the same as they used to be. This fox's heart is not the same as it used to be."

"Okay you."

Zhao Luzheng rolled his eyes and said, "You are the most corrupt person here."

“Why me?
Zhuge Yun protested his injustice, "It's obviously the third brother."

"Why is it the third brother?"

Zhao Luzheng said in a shocked tone, "It's obviously you."
