Chapter 1197 The Woman's Question
"Ask you to help him catch the turtle?!"
Zhang Bo, Zhuge Yun, and Zhao Luzheng said in unison, with a look of surprise and a sense of matter-of-factness on their faces.
"Tsk tsk, you have good vision."
Zhuge Yun whispered, "Although this old man is old, his mind is clear, right?"
"Isn't it?"
Zhang Bo also lowered his voice.
"Third brother-"
"You refused?"
Zhao Luzheng approached Xiao Xiao and asked softly.
An obvious fact.
If he hadn't been rejected, why would Mr. Li have stayed in the house?
Just like what the woman said just now, "Old Li is hiding in the house like this, as if he has suffered some kind of blow?"
It's a real blow to have your request rejected.
"Ah, Xiao Xiao, did you see the Divine Turtle?"
Aunt asked in surprise.
Otherwise, why would Uncle Li ask this child to help him find the sacred turtle?
But, the turtle.
It turns out it really exists?
Isn’t this Uncle Li’s own imagination?
"Yes, Xiao Xiao saw the divine turtle."
Uncle Zhang recalled the scene at that time, "At that time, Abo and the other kids called him that."
"Hey, Abo, have you seen the turtle?"
Uncle Zhang asked with great interest.
He was right to initially think that the Divine Turtle was fake.
However, since there was a second person besides Uncle Li who saw the divine turtle, he almost believed in its authenticity.
He felt a little pity.
Those who had helped Uncle Li find so many divine turtles had not seen the divine turtle that Uncle Li mentioned, but this kid saw the divine turtle as soon as he arrived.
Sometimes, it's really hard to tell what a person's luck is.
"No."
Zhang Bo spread his hands, "When we went to look, there was nothing left."
"Hey, I also want to see how magical the so-called divine turtle is."
Zhuge Yun's facial features were wrinkled and his tone was resentful.
Zhao Luzheng also shook his head.
Sure enough, he had thought too well at the beginning.
As a result, even if the divine turtle appeared in front of him, he still couldn't see it.
Will there not be a second time for what I saw that time?
Zhao Lu was feeling quite depressed.
"Didn't you see it?"
Uncle Zhang was stunned for a moment, then he laughed out loud, "Haha, good."
"This way, I, your uncle, will feel much more balanced."
"Otherwise, we were on the same ship, and you all saw it, but I was the only one who didn't see it. Isn't that too pitiful for me?"
"Haha~"
"What are you talking about?"
Auntie hit Uncle Zhang's arm in anger and said, "You're still picking on those kids."
She looked at Xiao Xiao, with some emotion on her face, "It turns out that Xiao Xiao saw the divine turtle."
"I thought you came here for nothing."
“I’ll be disappointed.”
"This is just great."
"Even though only one of you saw it, I have achieved the purpose of this trip."
"That-"
Aunt pursed her lips and asked hesitantly, "Did you agree to Uncle Li's request?"
She glanced at the door which was still silent, and what she was thinking was different from what she asked.
really.
"No."
Xiao Xiao shook his head.
No one was too surprised.
After all, no one present is stupid.
Uncle Li, who did not leave the house, explained everything.
".Why?"
After waiting for a while, seeing that Xiao Xiao seemed to have no intention of explaining, the woman spoke, breaking the quiet atmosphere in the room caused by Xiao Xiao's previous answer.
"Why don't you help Lao Li?"
The woman looked at Xiao Xiao with an overly sharp gaze, with a hint of accusation in her eyes.
"Hey, Xiao Wang, don't worry."
The aunt immediately reached out and patted the woman's arm. "Xiao Xiao must have his own reasons for doing this." "Why would he refuse the plea of an old man who has one foot in the coffin?"
The woman's tone was still somewhat aggressive, "Old Li ignored his own physical condition and insisted on leaving the hospital and came here in person to ask for your help."
"I think you can see his sincerity."
"Besides, Lao Li never lets anyone work for nothing."
"He will pay you a satisfactory fee."
"Given his current situation, he will agree even if you ask for too much."
"After all, you are the second person besides him to see the turtle."
Before coming here, she had never understood why Lao Li was so insistent on meeting this young man?
Even though he was her savior, the sense of urgency still made her feel a little strange.
But after listening to their conversation just now, she understood.
It turns out that this young man is Lao Li's last hope for survival.
Since the divine turtle that Lao Li mentioned really existed, then what he said about his illness being cured by eating the meat of the divine turtle might not be nonsense.
"I don't understand, what's your reason for refusing?"
"Tell me, why?"
"Xiao Wang."
My aunt opened her mouth and called out, but nothing else happened.
It's not that she doesn't understand the woman's feelings at the moment.
but
Auntie couldn't help but look at Xiao Xiao with an inquiring look.
"Xiao Xiao, if you're worried that you can't find it by yourself, your uncle Zhang will help you."
"He can also call other people to go out to sea with you."
"I won't let you look for the turtle by yourself."
"Besides, we still need someone to steer the boat."
Aunt smiled.
"Boy, as long as you say the word, Uncle Zhang will do whatever you want."
Uncle Zhang looked cheerful and had a loud voice.
"Thank you."
Xiao Xiao raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "But, that's not the reason."
"The divine turtle saved Mr. Li's life."
Xiao Xiao's words stunned Uncle Zhang, Aunt Zhang and the woman.
Zhang Bo and his companions were not surprised at all.
Xiao Xiao told them about this when they were on the boat.
They also talked about it.
“It’s a real hassle.”
Zhuge Yun complained vaguely.
"What do you mean?"
Uncle Zhang frowned, "Xiao Xiao, didn't you save Uncle Li?"
"If it weren't for the divine turtle, the Mr. Li I found would have been a corpse."
Xiao Xiao didn't say anything specific.
"The divine turtle is Mr. Li's savior."
"That's it."
Auntie murmured, "Did the divine turtle save Mr. Li?"
She smiled bitterly, "It's really hard to catch it now."
The woman's lips moved a few times, as if she wanted to say something, with a look of hesitation on her face.
"It would be ungrateful to arrest your savior."
Noticing the woman's expression, Uncle Zhang took on a serious expression and spoke in a deep tone.
"According to Xiao Xiao, if it weren't for the divine turtle-"
"Uncle Li died in the sea a long time ago."
"He is alive now, all thanks to that divine turtle."
".I know."
The woman said in a low voice.
Hoarseness.
"But."
"The flesh of the sacred turtle is not a panacea."
Xiao Xiao said, "Even if you eat the meat of the divine turtle, Mr. Li's illness will not be cured."
"how do you know?"
The woman asked back quickly.
There was a hint of doubt in his eyes.
ps: Thank you Lu Youyou, Cat and Pas for the rewards (*︶*)!
