The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Hu Er fetched a bucket of water from the well, found a basin and washed the melon. With a swing of his knife, he cut the melon into several pieces. "My Lord, please eat."

He picked up another melon and cut it open.

"What kind of dishes does the Marquis like to eat? Can you buy a chicken and cut some meat?" He spent all the copper coins in his family but couldn't buy much.

Wan Lianxing said, "Please sit down and talk to me. If you really want me to stay for dinner, please cook some sweet potatoes for me."

Hu Er said, "That won't do. I have to entertain the Marquis well."

Wan Lianxing said, "If you don't listen to me, I won't eat this melon and will go straight up the mountain to find my nephew."

Hu Er hurriedly handed the melon to Wan Lianxing and said, "I'll listen to you. Don't leave."

"Then sit down."

"to make."

"What are my nephews doing in the mountains?"

Hu Er said, "Your nephew's wife asked someone to take a rope and measure everywhere and mark everywhere. I don't know what she did. When people asked her, she didn't tell them, but everyone said it was a good thing."

Wan Lianxing asked, "Why didn't you go to work at the sugar factory?"

Hu Er smiled innocently: "There are too many people, and I can't get any work."

When Wan Lianxing heard this, he thought that this was indeed an honest man.

"Then you can wait a little longer and go to work in the mountains."

Hu Er smiled and said, "I don't know if I can get the job this time. There are so many people watching, and everyone wants to get a job."

Wan Lianxing thought, if this guy couldn't do the job at the door of this house, he must be too honest, or to put it bluntly, a bit of a bear.

While the two of them were chatting, Qiao Rong took Cheng Youning and his brother out, "Young Master, I'll take you around our village. There is a river in our village, and there are clams in it."

"mussel?"

"Haven't you ever seen a river clam, young master?"

Cheng Youning shook his head and said, "I don't know what you are talking about. Let's go and take a look." Cheng Youning kept looking around the village. He couldn't tell how big the village was. Every house was very shabby, and they all looked similar to Qiao Rong's house, desolate and dilapidated. There were few people along the way, and everyone who saw him called him "Young Master."

By chance, I met Miss Banana's mother on the road. She was looking for Banana everywhere, looking a little anxious, and cursing Banana to herself.

Qiao Rong whispered, "Sister Bajiao, are you going to be upset?"

Cheng Youning asked: "What do you mean by being unable to think clearly?"

Qiao Rong explained it to him, and Cheng Youning's face became a little nervous after listening to it. "Did I say something very harsh just now?"

Qiao Rong said, "It's a bit heavy. You said Sister Bajiao is worse than a maid. She must be angry."

Cheng Youning said: "I feel like I didn't say anything, and I didn't say anything wrong. Could my few words really make her commit suicide?"

Qiao Rong comforted Cheng Youning and said, "Young Master, don't think too much. It should be fine."

Under the guidance of Qiao Rong, several children came to the river. Qiao Rong saw at a glance that the person standing on the broken boat in the river was Bajiao, who was staring blankly at the river.

"Sister Banana."

Cheng Youning also saw it. In a hurry, he stepped on the water and got into the boat. Bajiao turned around and saw a child on the boat holding her clothes. It was the child who had just talked to her. This was the middle of the river. When did another person appear on the boat? Her expression was as if she had seen a ghost. She lost her balance and fell into the river.

Cheng Youning's hand that was grabbing the corner of her clothes suddenly felt empty. He leaned on the edge of the boat and shouted to the banana tree in the river: "Hey, don't die, I didn't mean it, I apologize, please come up." Cheng Youning knew that although he could swim, his small body could not save an adult who was several times bigger than him even if he went into the water. He might even drown together with her.

Fortunately, Bajiao knew how to swim. She was already standing in the river, with the water just above her waist. Cheng Youning realized it was a false alarm. The water was so shallow and the river was not wide, so it would not be easy to drown someone. His worry just now was obviously a bit unnecessary.

Bajiao asked Cheng Youning: "How did you get on the boat? I was scared to death."

Cheng Youning moved the corner of his mouth and looked behind him. Qiao Rong had already rowed a small bamboo raft over. The bamboo raft and the boat were already close together. "I... I just came here on a bamboo raft, and got on the boat when you weren't paying attention."

At this time, Qiao Rong's anxious voice sounded: "Sister Bajiao, are you okay? Why did you jump into the river?"

Basho said, "I didn't intend to jump into the river. I was just frightened when I suddenly saw this young master appear on my boat. I took two steps back and fell off the boat."

Qiao Rong felt relieved after hearing this.

Cheng Youning asked again: "Weren't you trying to commit suicide just now?" He wanted to know how much he had to do with the banana falling into the river.

Basho said, "No, I fell into the water just now because I was scared by you."

"Oh, you were on the boat?"

Basho said, "I am in a bad mood."

Cheng Youning said: "Did I say something that hurt you?"

Bajiao said, "No, I was angry with my mother for making me go to the Marquis and embarrass myself."

Only then did Cheng Youning feel completely relieved.

Qiao Rong said, "Sister Bajiao, your mother is looking for you everywhere."

"Let her find it."

"Sister Bajiao, are you okay?"

"The river is so shallow, what are you afraid of? But what are you, a child, doing here with the young master? What if they fall into the water?"

What Qiao Rong wanted to say was that Cheng Youning's light ability allowed him to move freely on the lake, so there was no need to worry. However, the Wan family naturally did not allow anyone to tell anyone about his ability at such a young age, just like children should not wear jewelry.

"I'll show the young master the clams. My young master has never seen one."

"You have to go into the water, and you have to have good eyesight."

Qiao Rong threw his brother onto the boat, then lay on the bamboo raft and looked into the water. Cheng Youning also looked into the water like him, although he didn't know what Qiao Rong was looking for.

After a long while, Qiao Rong called out, "Master, I saw it, but we have to go into the water to fish it out."

Cheng Youning said, "Then go down." He wanted to see what the clam looked like.

Soon Qiao Rong fished out two clams from the water and threw them onto the boat. Before Cheng Youning could touch them, Qiao Rong's younger brother snatched them away and held them tightly without letting Cheng Youning see them.

Qiao Rong had no choice but to search in the water again.

Fortunately, Qiao Rong found two more, but they were snatched away by his younger brother again. "Brother, give one clam to the young master."

This thing is not easy to find. The children in the village go to the river to touch it every now and then, but there are not many clams left in the river.

Qiao Rong's brother protected the clams very tightly, "Don't give them to me, they are all mine."

Cheng Youning said, "I see what it looks like, come up." Cheng Youning had seen this thing before.

Qiao Rong insisted on going into the water to fish out two river clams for Cheng Youning, as once the clams were in his brother's hands, it would be difficult to keep them.
