"Uh, what is this?"
The old Daoist squatted beside the pit and looked down.
The part of the old turtle's consciousness in the tortoise shell man's body had already left his body because he wanted to possess boss Zhou. Now, it must have been reduced to a meal.
However, the tortoise shell man's main body was still here. The pit was caused by the previous explosion. There was already some liquefied liquid inside, and now there seemed to be some underground water seeping up, forming a large puddle.
The tortoise shell man's body began to shrink. Yes, he did not expand while floating in the puddle, but he actually began to shrink.
The little monkey squatted beside the old Daoist's feet and looked at the turtle below. From time to time, it reached out tentatively, as if it wanted to touch it.
"I say, what is this thing?"
The old Daoist asked Xu Qinglang, who was standing beside him.
The boss's body was placed on the straw bed. The little boy stood beside him as a protector. On this point, the little boy did not need anyone to instruct him.
Yingying did not come back. Anyway, the matter was over. After hearing from the black girl that the boss had been possessed by the old turtle, Xu Qinglang and the little boy did not panic. Although the boss was not awake now, he was probably inside talking about development plans with the big boss. There should not be any danger.
Therefore, no one went to inform Yingying, lest she rushed back in shock when she received the news.
"A turtle, or a human turtle?"
Xu Qinglang organized his words. In fact, this guy should be similar to him. He could be considered a "human" who had inherited part of the siren's power. However, he had a certain amount of initiative on his side and had a seal that he could control. As for the other "Human Walkers", they might really just be puppets.
"Si Guoyi!!!"
The old Daoist let out a Japanese exclamation,
He pointed at the tortoise shell man below,
He said,
"Could this be the legendary... Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle?"
Xu Qinglang knew that the old Daoist was playing tricks and was happy to cooperate with him. He said, "Yes, his name is Da Vinci."
"Hehe, look, it's getting smaller again."
Streams of dark green liquid kept dripping out of the tortoiseshell man's body. Following that, his body also kept shrinking. Slowly, he actually became the body of a teenager. However, the extent of the tortoiseshell's shrinking was not obvious, so he looked very strange.
Deadpool was replanted in the ground by Black Chick and closed his eyes.
But beside the puddle, there was a yellow flower blooming. He had actually been watching the situation in the puddle.
"What about this turtle?
If we want to raise it, we'll have to get a huge water tank or something. Our bathtub won't be able to hold it. Tsk, tsk. Boss, you're going to spend money again. "
"Just cook it and eat it," Xu Qinglang said nonchalantly.
"I can even tell that it's a human form. How do I eat it?"
"Chop them up and make them into dumplings. If I don't say anything, you guys will definitely enjoy it."
"Are you a devil?"
"Don't worry. He was the one who gave me that fish. Tell me, how much Old Zhou hates him. When Old Zhou wakes up, he'll be there."
"Well, that's true. Even if a truck crashed into the bookstore's front door, the boss probably wouldn't be as angry as he is now."
The old priest stood up,
It seemed that he had been squatting for too long.
His feet were a little numb.
His body swayed as he stood up.
If it weren't for Xu Qinglang's quick reflexes, the old Daoist priest might have fallen into the ditch.
"Be careful."
"Hehe, it's okay. It's okay."
The old Daoist priest took a deep breath.
He pretended to sneeze.
He took out a square handkerchief from the cuff of his Daoist robe.
"Achoo!"
"Phew..."
He wiped his nose hard.
Then, he quickly folded the handkerchief and held it in his hand.
The little monkey beside him looked at the old Daoist in a daze. The old Daoist reached out and rubbed its little head.
"I say, if this guy shrunk a little more and raised it in a big fish tank, it would feel pretty good. Anyway, this thing can't be eaten. It's fine to keep it as an ornamental pet.
Oh right.
Can this turtle lay eggs? "
"I'm not sure."
Xu Qinglang shook his head. "If I didn't come to the bookstore, I might not have come into contact with so many strange ingredients in my life."
"If it can lay eggs, then keep them. If it can lay eggs, then forget it. If it can lay eggs, then wake up in the morning, crack two turtle eggs, and make egg soup or egg fried rice at night. That's also very beautiful. Very beautiful!"
"Gulp!"
Just as the old Daoist finished speaking.
A string of bubbles suddenly emerged from the turtle man's shell.
Then.
A green egg bigger than a goose egg floated out.
"..." the old Daoist.
"..." Old Xu.
In the mud.
The death attendant with his eyes closed.
His expression relaxed a little.
Xu Qinglang squatted down by the waterhole.
The old Daoist also squatted down again.
"Damn it, it really laid eggs?"
"What a terrifying desire to survive. It actually forced the male turtle to lay eggs."
The old Daoist looked at Xu Qinglang in surprise and asked,
"Are there male and female turtles?"
"Yes. Generally, it depends on the thickness of the tail. The male turtle's tail is thicker, while the female turtle's tail is thinner and shorter.
"Also, whether the abdomen is caved in. The male turtle has an obvious caved in, while the female turtle is flat.
"When turtles mate, they use the male top and female bottom posture. In order to prevent them from sliding off the female turtle's shell during mating, the male turtle's abdomen is slightly caved in, which happens to be able to catch the protruding back shell of the female turtle. However, the female turtle doesn't need this kind of structure, so the abdomen is flat."
The old Daoist widened his eyes and looked at Xu Qinglang a few more times.
"Old Xu, didn't you say that you've never cooked with turtles before? How do you know so clearly?"
"I've cooked turtles before."
"Oh..."
It seemed to make sense.
The old Daoist took out a cigarette and placed it on the tip of his nose to sniff it. He said regretfully,
"It's a pity that there's only one egg. Although it's a little big, it's not enough to eat. It's not even enough to fry rice."
"Gulp!"
Another egg..,
It rolled out from the lower edge of the turtle shell.
“OHH！！！！”
The old Daoist excitedly pointed at the egg floating above the puddle.
Xu Qinglang rubbed his forehead, speechless.
In the distance, the death attendant, who only had his head left outside in the mud, sighed softly.
Phew..
"Dong!"
The black girl knocked on the death attendant's head,
The death attendant opened his eyes,
The black girl pointed at the death attendant's face,
A barrage of scolding came down on him.
However, this scolding only moved her mouth and did not make a sound.
The death attendant smiled foolishly and closed his eyes again.
The black girl curled her lips and was too lazy to "Scold" anymore. She turned her head and looked at the puddle.
Now this brother-in-law knew how to be cowardly and afraid?
Why couldn't he have known better earlier on?
Wouldn't it be better to just go to his door and kowtow?
In any case, his boss seemed to have the dream of opening a zoo. It didn't matter if he had one more.
Now..,
Not only did he scam his brother,
He now had to work hard to lay eggs there in order to survive,
Why bother?
Why bother?
However, human needs and greed were endless, and human demands on nature were also unrestrained. This point was clearly reflected in the old Daoist.
"Well, two won't do either. It's not enough. Three seems to be about right."
After the old Daoist finished speaking,
He was still looking forward to it,
But he waited and waited,
Another egg didn't come out from the ground.
Can't hold it in anymore?
Sigh..,
A little disappointed.
Although the death attendant on the other side of the mud had his eyes closed, he gritted his teeth. He could feel his brother's efforts. He was here, and he was also cheering for his brother!
The death attendant didn't know how to lay eggs, but he felt that it would be over if he worked hard.
Finally..,
Under the "Concerted efforts" of the brothers..,
"Gulp!"
The third egg came out. However, this third egg was one-third smaller than the previous two eggs. It should have reached its limit.
"This relationship is good. Laying eggs every day is enough."
The old Daoist stroked his goatee,
"This is what it means to live in seclusion. Even though we live in the city center, we will soon be able to take care of our daily necessities. Previously, we had a source of vegetables and fruits. Now, we have a source of eggs. In a while, we can capture a few pig demons or ox demons. There's no need to buy meat.
"In the past, I thought that the boss always liked to bring things home and thought that he didn't know how to live. Now that I think about it, I really blamed the boss wrongly. This is the rhythm of opening a small farm."
"Don't think too much. Do you want to eat eggs?"
"Yeah, how fresh is this."
"Don't you think it's disgusting?"
"What's so disgusting about it? When the chicken farmer took the eggs from the chicken nest, the eggs were still sticky with chicken feces."
"But it's useless if you want to eat it. The boss definitely wants him to die."
"Sigh, that's true."
The old Daoist smacked his lips,
Between his own desire for food and the boss's personal likes and dislikes,
He knew,
It was definitely the latter, and it was definitely the upper hand.
"Boss, you're awake?"
The little boy's voice was heard.
The old Daoist and Xu Qinglang, who were squatting by the waterhole, turned around together and saw Zhou Ze standing up and walking over.
"Boss, are you alright?" The old Daoist immediately greeted him.
Zhou Ze looked at the old Daoist,
In his gaze,
It was somewhat complicated,
This complicated gaze made the old Daoist feel goosebumps in his heart.
In the past, every time he went out with the boss, when he ate something wrong or encountered something, the boss seemed to have this gaze.
"Old Zhou, this guy is still breathing."
Xu Qinglang pointed at the turtle shell man in the waterhole, meaning to ask Zhou Ze to take action and finish him off as soon as possible so that he could clean up the place.
"I just heard the old Daoist say that he wants to eat turtle eggs?"
"No, no, rumors, nonsense, impossible!"
The old Daoist quickly waved his hand to deny it.
"Since you like to eat turtle eggs, keep him to lay eggs. Go find a... Oh no, Old Xu, it's been hard on you. Go find a big fish tank and help the old Daoist raise it."
Although Xu Qinglang felt that it was a little strange, he still nodded in agreement.
"This... this..." The old Daoist rubbed his hands in embarrassment. "How can I do that, Boss?"
Zhou Ze walked in front of the old Daoist, and the old Daoist stood up silently.
Boss Zhou placed his hand on the old Daoist's shoulder and gently patted it,
He said softly,
"Old Daoist."
"Ah, yes. Boss, what do you want?"
"Eat something good."
