Chapter 241
"Can it move?"
The child looked at him in confusion and poured the water in his hand.
Zhang Fengci pointed at the dish and said excitedly, "Look, look, it's moving. It's moving like this."
The child lowered his head, stretched out the branches and leaves of the vegetables to collect the water, shook them slightly, and seemed to be in a good mood.
"They have always been able to do this, but it's becoming more and more obvious. Sister Xi said this is normal. They've been away from becoming spirits for at least a hundred or eighty years."
"Oh, that scared me. You pulled out so many, did you eat them all?"
Zhang Fengci asked casually.
Child:……
"No."
"I'll give you half, and give me the rest."
"Oh……"
Eunuch Zhang is as stingy as ever.
Child: "I didn't spend the money, do you still want it?"
He hesitated for a moment, then waved his hand with a dull look: "Forget it, I'll give it to you."
"Thank you."
"You're welcome. Get to work."
He probably felt a little distressed, but that money had nothing to do with longevity, so he didn't care much.
During breakfast, Pumpkin came over to join in the fun. Eunuch Zhang gave it some dried fish and said, "I haven't seen it for several days. Where did you go, cat?"
"Aunt Yu said it was at home and would sniff me every once in a while to see if I was still breathing."
"So well behaved, Pumpkin is such a good cat."
Zhang Fengci held the fat cat in his arms and praised it highly. He also asked Uncle Li Er to cook meat for it and laughed at the stingy child.
"I was going to give it some leftovers from the big kitchen."
The child is not stingy, he just doesn't want to spend money that can be saved.
Pumpkin yelped, as if complaining, causing Zhang Fengci to roll his eyes at her again: "Just pick it up, why are you giving so many excuses?"
He likes this big fat cat and is willing to spend money to feed it better food.
Pumpkin probably liked him too. Before the chicken entered his mouth, he stayed close to him. After he finished eating, he jumped onto the roof and lay down in a high place to bask in the sun.
The child looked up at the sky and thought of the monster egg and the snake that were destined not to be together.
The former had no connection with her, and the child even suspected that it had rolled away on its own.
The latter inevitably made her feel pity.
"Eunuch Zhang, tell me, if I keep forgetting to feed the snake, will it get angry?"
"If I starve you every day, will you be angry?"
The answer is clear.
Child: "Just let it give birth. It won't give birth to anything else if I leave it out in the sun. If I let it go, I won't be able to see it again."
"Then, when you are reincarnated, one day you are suddenly killed by a snake demon. You don't know why, you just die, but you don't know how much effort it has put in to avenge you."
Zhang Fengci became very excited when he talked about this. With just a few words, he made the child feel the overwhelming malice...
"No matter how hard it tries, I can't just die right?"
"Of course not. It would have to put you in a whole jar and torture you. Do you know there's a punishment called bone drunkenness? But I think you two aren't that serious. It could come up with a punishment called starvation jar, which would put you in a big jar and starve you..."
Seeing how happy he was, the child started to doubt him. "Actually... you're the snake demon, right? Did you take advantage of Eunuch Zhang's inattention and possess him?"
Zhang Fengci: ...
"Don't talk nonsense. I can't just give it some advice out of enthusiasm."
"Aren't you on my side? Why are you giving it advice?" The child was incredulous.
Zhang Fengci: "Because I have a kind heart."
Child:……
"I once saw you reaching into a beggar's bowl on the street."
Zhang Fengci touched his nose and said, "Yes, I gave him money."
"Stop talking nonsense! You have nothing in your hand. The beggar just said 'kind-hearted master' and then he yelled 'Don't steal my money!' He ran away swearing and muttering about wicked people getting punished. I heard it clearly!"
The child almost pinched his ears to tell him that these ears are not just for decoration.
That time is still very fresh in his memory. Zhang Fengci had drunk a little wine and his mind was empty. A bowl of money happened to be handed to him. He subconsciously stretched out his hand, feeling a little disgusted in his heart, because it was all copper coins and it was not easy to take.
"Where did you see it? Why didn't I see you?"
The child also touched his nose and said, "Ah, that, I ran away."
There was no curfew that day and the streets were bustling.
She ran away to play, afraid of being caught and scolded by him, so she wanted to avoid him. At that time, many people cast contemptuous looks at her. The child thought that it was a look she earned with her own ability and she should enjoy it alone, so she ran away. She ran very fast and reached home in the blink of an eye, but Aunt Yu still could see that she had gone out to play.
Zhang Fengci knew what was going on without her even having to explain.
"How dare you criticize me? I'm not kind, but you're not fair. You just run away faster than a rabbit when you see something going on."
He then sighed with emotion, "You didn't run away even after seeing a ghost, and you even went back to help..."
The child pricked up his ears and asked curiously, "Are you going to praise me?"
"What a fool."
Before she finished speaking, Zhang Fengci finished his words.
Praise her? What's there to praise? You'll get addicted to it after you praise her. It's good enough if you don't give her a slap in the face.
Zhang Fengci thought the same as Aunt Yu on this matter.
Not proud of her at all.
When Yundou heard her talk about how brave and fearless she was, she couldn't believe it and asked her if she had been kicked in the head by a donkey.
Instead, it was those irrelevant people who praised her.
Praise her for being a good person.
But the child lost interest and was not happy to hear their praise.
I have been honest for quite some time.
Ten days later, Aunt Yu took her to worship Buddha.
I didn't want to take her with me originally, but fortunately Aunt Yu didn't dare to release the poisonous snake.
So the child happily carried the jar and set off.
When the poor snake saw the daylight, it didn't dare to crawl out for a while, for fear that it would suffer new torture once it went out.
It took a long time before it tentatively stretched out the tip of its tail, then swam out of the jar slowly in a backward posture. Seeing that no one stopped it, it ignored everything and crawled away immediately.
The child quickly reached out and grabbed it.
The snake shed tears: I knew she wouldn't let me go.
Child: "Why are you in such a hurry? You don't even want the things anymore?"
The snake hissed: Tell me, did I forget the iron pot or the kitchen knife? How are you going to eat me?
The child took out its magic pill, opened its mouth and stuffed it in.
I was caught off guard and almost knocked out its fangs.
But... I'm back!
The snake never thought that its big baby would come back one day. It was so happy that it couldn't even knock out all the teeth, let alone pull them out.
Come on in, even if it chokes me to death.
The snake opened its mouth excitedly and cooperated very well.
The child took it a little further away, and when he had almost done so, he rolled it up into a ball and threw it into the water: "Go, you are free."
He turned around and asked Aunt Yu, "Do you think it wanted to bite me just now? Will it retaliate against me?"
Aunt Yu: "Alas, I told you to kill him long ago. Don't let it cause any trouble later. Now sprinkle more realgar powder around the house."
They walked away as they talked.
The snake poked its head out of the water and glared at their backs fiercely: "You're still seeking revenge? You think you're such a sweet thing! If I bite you, I'll become immortal! I don't even want to see you in my next life! If I had known I'd have to be locked up for so long if I tried to bite someone, I wouldn't have bared my teeth at you even if they broke."
A proud and stubborn snake has fallen, and now it is a flexible snake!
It swam quickly in the water, heading in the opposite direction of the child, and left without looking back.
