Chapter 1342 Ajiu's Request

"No wonder the child wanted to take it. I, an old woman, like this pearl very much."

Grandma Xiao admired her eyes and said, "So beautiful."

Xiao Xiao stretched out his hand in front of his grandmother.

When viewed up close, the pearls are flawless and naturally lustrous.

Grandma Xiao clicked her tongue.

After a while, he looked up at Xiao Xiao, "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 string around her neck and said, "Isn't this the pearl in the amulet you gave me before?"

"Keep these pearls for yourself."

"Grandma, you can take a few more if you like."

Xiao Xiao's eyebrows curved, "I have a lot more."

"There are many, so keep them well."

Grandma Xiao glared at Xiao Xiao and said, "It's useless for Grandma to take more."

……

Xiao Xiao smiled slightly and put the pearl away.

"what happened?"

Father Xiao asked for details, "How could the child take the pearl away?"

Xiaoxiao said that these pearls belonged to the fish in the pond, which means... "These pearls are at the bottom of the pond, right?"

"Ah."

Xiao Xiao nodded, confirming his father's guess.

Then he briefly recounted the whole story.

"Oh, this is really a coincidence."

Grandma Xiao couldn't help but laugh, "That child and this pearl are destined to be together."

"This way he can touch it."

"No."

Mother Xiao also frowned.

"It's good that the child didn't do it on purpose."

Grandpa Xiao ended the topic, "Okay, time to work."

"Don't keep the guests waiting."

……

Xiao Xiao returned to the yard.

Walking under the white plum tree, the plum girl stood by the pond and bowed, "Master Xiao Xiao."

"Plum girl."

Xiao Xiao's mouth curled up.

He turned his head as if he had sensed something, and the pearl fish floated to the surface of the water.

Not far away, a red carp also poked out half of its head.

……

"Pearlfish."

Xiao Xiao squatted down, looked at the hesitant look of the pearl fish, and stretched out his hand with a smile.

Three round, snow-white pearls sparkled on the open palm, emitting an increasingly hazy but dazzling halo under the bright spring sun.

Mei Nu pursed her lips slightly, revealing a faint smile.

Then, its figure slowly disappeared into the plum tree.

……

“Chirp~Chirp~Chirp~”

Master Xiao Xiao is really amazing~
The pigeon flew up and down beside Xiao Xiao, looking very happy.

The baby spoon circled around Xiao Xiao's hand.

Pearl's eyes were sparkling and shining.

……

"Master Xiao Xiao, thank you."

The pearl fish concealed 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, I naturally have to ensure the safety of my tenants' property."

Ok?
The pearl fish tilted its head, with a dull expression on its face.

It didn't quite understand what Lord Xiao Xiao meant by the following words.

Looking at the cute and silly beaded fish, the smile in Xiao Xiao's eyes deepened a little.

He withdrew his outstretched hand and dropped the pearl into the water.

Just as he was about to place the second one -
"Master Xiao Xiao, please wait a moment."

The pearl fish stopped him.

Xiao Xiao closed his fingers slightly and held the two pearls in his hands.

He looked at the beaded fish inquiringly.

But he found that the pearl fish swam in front of him with the first pearl he had just put in on its head.

"Master Xiao Xiao, these pearls were originally given to you."

Xiao Xiao was puzzled, and the pearl fish was also a little puzzled, "Master Xiao Xiao doesn't want the pearls anymore?"

"need."

Xiao Xiao looked at the pearls in his hand, and ripples of smile appeared in his eyes.

"They are very beautiful." However, the improvised explanation he had made up earlier for the old man and the child gave him inspiration, "Just leave the pearls at the bottom of the pool."

"Just give it to me when you need it."

"Ok."

Lord Xiao Xiao had no objection to how he wanted to cook the pearl fish.

……

Watching the pearl sink into the water, Xiao Xiao slowly stood up.

“Next time a stranger enters the yard, you can find a way to notify my family.”

"Make some noise or something."

Xiao Xiao thought for a moment, "This way similar situations won't happen again."

"but-"

Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "After this incident, my family will be more careful not to let the guests in front enter the yard by mistake."

"You don't have to worry too much."

"It would be fine if the stranger who entered the yard had no intention, but if he had other intentions-"

"I don't mind if you scare him."

Others will just think that it is an uninvited guest who is just feeling guilty.

……

"嘤嘤~"

Baby Spoon's eyes lit up.

It's just like how it used to throw fruits at humans before, which is very interesting.

Xiao Xiao stretched out his hand and flicked the baby spoon's forehead with his fingers, "Just don't go too far."

"嘤嘤~"

The baby spoon nodded obediently.

……

Xiao Xiao shook his head slightly.

The monster in the yard is the most noisy. No, the pigeons are also noisy. But the one who is best at playing pranks is Baby Spoon.

He is also good at pretending to be innocent and trying to please others.

Wait, speaking of pranks…

Xiao Xiao looked at the pond under the phoenix tree.

In fact, the mullet is not much different.

There are still rumors that the mountain where the oysters live is haunted.

He was also scared by the mullet at first.

After all, the oyster was the first monster he encountered or saw.

……

Xiao Xiao walked under the paulownia tree.

He squatted down, "Yuyu."

"Giggle~"

"Giggle~"

Two giggling fish poked their heads out of the water one after another, their mouths wide open, and their childish voices were a bit sharp and ethereal, with a hint of weirdness for no reason.

It's a bit like... the laugh of a ghost doll in a horror movie.

Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.

If someone who broke in heard such a sound, he would probably be scared.

Xiao Xiao even felt a little sympathy for the unlucky guy.

Therefore, necessary vaccinations still need to be given.

"You also have to stop in moderation."

"Don't be so scary."

"If you see any of my family members following you, don't show up."

"Giggle~"

"Giggle~"

The two mullets nodded and started to playfully chase each other's long bird-like tails.

“Chuckle~Chuckle~”

……

The sky was getting a little dim.

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 very quiet.

There was a faint sound of noise coming from afar.

"Master Xiao Xiao."

The little white fox turned to look at Xiao Xiao, his rosy red eyes were particularly bright and brilliant in the dark alley, "You used me as an excuse just now... shouldn't you express your gratitude?"

"what would you like?"

Xiao Xiao is very sensible.

The little white fox narrowed his long and narrow fox eyes and grinned, "Let's fly a few circles in the air."

"hiss~"

The white snake couldn't help but stick out its head, its bright red vertical pupils flashed, revealing a bit of excitement.
