Chapter 39:
At four o'clock in the morning, the seafood market by the sea has gradually become lively. Sailors on the fishing boats are busy carrying goods. Many merchants who purchase goods enter the market early to choose the freshest seafood.
Before dawn, the sea was gray-blue, and a faint glow in the distance separated the sky and the ocean. With the passage of time, the golden sunlight broke through the thick clouds, and the bright light sprinkled on the blue sea, reflecting in the undulating waves. On the crest of the wave is like a piece of burning flame.
Amidst the plainly dressed crowd, a young man in his twenties looked a little out of place.
Cheng Su dressed very casually today, but even so, his young face was particularly abrupt among this group of middle-aged people, not to mention his temperament that was completely different from the market vendors, which made everyone in the market endured Couldn't stop looking at him.
"Little brother, do you really want to buy so much?"
Cheng Su passed by several stalls with ease, and finally stopped in front of a stall. Without hesitation, he ordered a few kinds of seafood with his fingers and asked the boss to pack them all for him. Get in the car.
The owner of the stall was of course overjoyed, but also a little surprised. He looked at the raw face in front of him and wondered who the other person was. He looked young, and his eyes on seafood were very vicious, and he could tell at a glance. Best seafood here. Cheng Su nodded, and the boss didn't say anything more. He asked someone to help move the seafood to Cheng Su's car, while Cheng Su stood by and watched them busy, not knowing what to think in his mind. He shook his head as if he was amused. Why is he here? Things have to start from yesterday. ... stone? Cheng Su looked at the small stone that Qiao Hao handed to him, and was a little puzzled. He turned to look at the little one in the swimming pool. He thought he was holding something in his hand.
Although he didn't know the meaning of this stone, Cheng Su didn't express the doubts in his heart when he saw how precious Qiao Hao was. He subconsciously weighed it in his hand. .
Chengsu looked down and saw that the small stone suddenly broke into two halves for some reason, half of which lay quietly in his palm, and the other half fell into the water with a thud, and soon sank. to the bottom of the pool.
"I..." Just
as Cheng Su wanted to explain that he didn't do it on purpose, he heard a rushing sound of water before he could speak. When he raised his head and looked at Qiao Hao, he saw that the little guy had already swum out of his old age. Yuan Yuan, who was hiding at the other end of the pool, was staring at him with fear or anger.
Her little baby!
Although her heirloom 1.0 seems to have sunk in the Pacific Ocean and did not come here with her, this heirloom 2.0 was also carefully selected from the many small stones by the roadside after she came here, and now I see it broken into pieces Halfway through, Qiao Mo still felt a little sadness involuntarily.
Qiao Hao's eyes closely followed the small stone that had sunk to the bottom of the pool. She was eager to swim to pick it up, but as soon as she looked up, the killer whale with fierce eyes stared at her on the shore, letting her go. She subconsciously shrank in the water and dared not move.
It's over, she must have made Cheng Suo angry, otherwise how could the other party be so angry that she broke all her little stones?
Qiao Mo no longer dared to imagine the next scene, she covered her eyes regretfully, and she was so upset that she didn't dare to open her eyes for a long time.
After a while, it seemed that he noticed that there was no movement around, so Qiao Mo carefully removed his small paws. The room was empty, except for the green scene in the courtyard that could be seen through the floor-to-ceiling windows, the picture was like It was as if it was frozen, only a wet little sea otter floated on the water, and there was no rustling figure by the swimming pool.
Qiao Hao blinked his eyes suspiciously. After waiting for a long time, he didn't see Cheng Su coming back, so he quickly sank to the bottom of the water and picked up half of the small stones he had left. He held it in the center of his hand with two small paws and looked at it painfully.
Only half left.
Qiao Hao put away the small stone again, and seemed to be lying on the water a little depressed, and couldn't help sighing softly.
...
There was a little light surging in the dark eyes, and he subconsciously put his hand into his pocket, and soon a rough and uneven touch came from his fingertips, that is, he accidentally broke it yesterday.
It was only later that he found out that this ordinary little rock was the treasure of the sea otters, and he felt as if he had knocked over a soy sauce bottle.
At this time, the stall owner just finished helping, Cheng Su sat back in the driver's seat and started the car.
When Chengsu returned home, Qiao Hao was floating on the water and sleeping soundly. In his sleep, Qiao Hao seemed to smell the familiar smell of seafood. She couldn't help but shrugged the tip of her nose and opened her eyes sleepily. .
Great shell!
I saw a lot of fresh shellfish that suddenly appeared on the shore, all kinds of them, which made Qiao Mo dream of returning to the sea. She didn't have time to think about it, so she happily swam over with a splash of water, happily holding a large shell quickly. He got back into the water and didn't show his head again until he swam to the middle of the pool, lying on the water and ready to start feasting.
Then, Qiao Mo remembered the small stone with only half of it left, and the smile instantly froze on his face.
Should I be able to knock it off?
Qiao Mo looked worriedly at half of the small stone in his hand, and tapped tentatively. Sure enough, the large shell in his arms remained motionless, and there was not a single crack.
I don't believe it can't be opened!
Qiao Hao held his own small stone in both hands and tried harder. The calm water splashed all over for a while, and then a voice came slowly: "Bring it."
Qiao Yan sat up holding the shell, and saw Cheng Su sitting casually on the shore, holding a knife in his hand, he opened a clam with a light pry, and when he looked up, he found that Qiao Yan was still in the same place, and suddenly felt a little surprised. Impatiently raised his brows, he urged, "Hurry up."
"Oh, oh, alright."
Only then did Qiao Hao come back to her senses, but she was still a little confused.
"Here you are."
Qiao Hao handed the big shell in his arms to Cheng Su, took the clams from the other party's hands, and looked at Cheng Su's expression while eating.
Chengsu sat on the bank with a blank face and opened the shells for Qiao Mo. His movements were a bit rough/brutal, and he was a little clumsy at first, but soon he was able to open the shells with a knife skillfully, and the piles around him suddenly piled up. Shellfish rising as high as a hill.
Perhaps she still has lingering fears about the incident of Cheng Su crushing her own small stone yesterday. Qiao Mo didn't dare to get too close. Every time she got an open shell, she would quickly swim back to the middle of the water and wait until she was finished eating. Swim to the shore and take a new shell from Cheng Su's hand.
Cheng Su looked at Qiao Hao who was swimming back and forth, took a breath, stood up and walked out.
Qiao Hao looked at the back of Cheng Su's departure, and touched his chubby belly with a guilty conscience.
As if she ate a little too much.
Cheng Su went straight to the kitchen. He opened the cupboard and searched for a while, and found a fresh-keeping bowl of a suitable size that could float on the water. Then he took the bowl and went back to the swimming pool. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Qiao Hao trying to eat The knife opened the shell, but her sea otter's claws were too small to do such meticulous work.
Cheng Su's eyes jumped suddenly, he quickly walked back to the swimming pool, took the knife from Qiao Hao's hand, and said indifferently, "Just give it to me."
With that, he pried the knife open just now . He put all the shells into the bowl, put it on the water, pushed it forward with the back of his hand, and the bowl filled with small shells slowly floated towards Qiao Mo.
"Thank you."
Qiao Mo was lying on the water happily, with a small bowl full of cracked shells floating beside her. She only needed to take it out with her claws and eat it in her arms. Go, wait until the bowl is finished, then swim back to the shore and let Cheng Su help him pack another bowl.
Seeing the man in front of him who was knocking on the shell for him without saying a word, Qiao Hao couldn't help holding the bowl in the water and looked at it for a while longer, and suddenly felt that the killer whale didn't seem to be so vicious anymore.
"No thanks."
Cheng Su put the last handful of shells in Qiao's small bowl, and when he looked up, his eyes met Qiao's sparkling eyes that looked at him, and he subconsciously staggered away from himself. He looked at him, pursed his lips, and said, "I'll send the bill to your mobile phone, remember to settle it when you go back."
With a "crash", the big shell in Qiao Mo's hand fell into the water. There were small splashes on the water.
Cheng Su was quick-witted, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he caught Qiao's unsteady shell in the water. He looked at Qiao's stunned face, snorted, and shoved the shell in his hand back into Qiao's hand.
It was only then that Qiao Hao remembered that she seemed to have damaged the door lock of Cheng Su, which was a considerable sum of money.
Qiao Hao took a deep breath, and asked in a trembling voice, "How much?"
Although Chengsu hadn't shown her the bill yet, she looked at the shells piled up like a hill, and then thought about her twenty-five every day. The amount of food consumed by the jins of seafood, the whole otter was like being struck by lightning, and slumped on the water listlessly.
Sure enough, even the cute little sea otter needs to be paid back.
She saw so many people on TV feeding little sea otters, and she thought it was an unwritten rule.
"It's not expensive, if you make your debut, you can earn it back in the blink of an eye."
Cheng Su showed the bill to Qiao Xing, and Qiao Xing almost fainted when he saw the bill, which cost an average of 2,000 yuan per catty. In the past, she stretched out her little paws to calculate, so many zeros were simply astronomical numbers for her who didn't even have five hundred yuan!
God, she became a little sea otter with debts at such a young age!
Although she also received a few resources, it will take a long time for her to actually reach her account. She is still a poor little sea otter, and she has no extra cash to pay Chengsu.
"I don't have any money right now, can I give it back to you after a while?"
As if to prove that what he said was true, Qiao Mo looked around for a while and said, "Do you have a pen and paper?"
Wen Yan, Cheng Su subconsciously touched his pocket, and in the end he only found the handkerchief and pen in the pocket. He couldn't tell what he was doing with Qiao Yan, but in short, Qiao Yan said so, and he handed it over, wanting to see what Qiao Mo was going to do.
I saw Qiao Mo smeared a little ink on his little paw, pressed it lightly on the handkerchief, and a small and beautiful plum print appeared on the handkerchief.
Cheng Su was holding the handkerchief. When Qiao Su pressed her little paw, a warm touch was transmitted to Cheng Su's palm through the slightly cold cloth, and then spread in his body along his palm. Come on.
He suddenly felt a little numb in his arm.
This is a very subtle feeling, and Cheng Su can't tell whether it is uncomfortable or happy, but this feeling makes Cheng Su feel strange and not annoying.
He looked at Qiao Hao, whose eyes were sparkling in front of him, and there was even a question of whether he was the one who was in poor physical condition, otherwise, why would he be here with a little sea otter?
Looking at the unique plum blossom print on the handkerchief, Cheng Su couldn't help holding his breath. His eyes moved, as if he was about to say something. When he looked up, he saw Qiao Hao washing her face in the pool with a frightened face. Small claws stained with ink, but no matter how you wash them, you can't wash them off.
Qiao Hao looked at Cheng Su with a face full of horror, and whispered pitifully: "Wash, can't wash it off."
Cheng Su: ...
Really, it's just a dumb little sea otter.
