"You two have known each other for a long time?"
This time it was Xinwu's turn to be surprised.
"Yes! When I first went to the country, a duck led the way and took me to his shop. He had a big fish shop filled with all kinds of beautiful fish! One of them, the most special one is the "armored" fish with a big blue tail. When I looked too close, one jumped out and stuck to my face. Fortunately, the fish boss helped it out. It’s been taken off.”
Zhou Shukang talked excitedly about the scene at that time. She accurately described the scene at that time without any modification.
But this action of taking it off the "face" made Xinwu very uncomfortable.
In other words, this person who looks a bit "wretched" and smiles evilly has once touched the face of beautiful lady Zhou!
Until now, I haven't even touched her finger a few times! But he touched her "face"!
Thinking of this, Xin Wu secretly got angry with the thin man. His face didn't look good, but fortunately it was dark everywhere, so Zhou Shukang wouldn't notice that something was wrong with his mood.
"Well, that thing is very disobedient and easy to jump out of the tank; especially when it encounters something more beautiful than it, it can't help but come out and compare its beauty with it."
What the owner of the fish shop said was obviously talking about fish, but to Xin Wu, it sounded like he was trying to "please" and "praise" Zhou Shukang's beauty in disguise!
"I'm afraid the tank is not clean and there is not enough oxygen, so that kind of thing jumps out of the tank! It's too far-fetched to say that it wants to 'beauty'! Is it a 'peacock'?"
Xin Wu couldn't help but start to retort loudly.
"It's not a 'guppy'! It's an 'armored fish'! I have raised peacocks at home, and they don't look like that at all!"
Zhou Shukang, a "heartless" and neurotic person, actually didn't realize that the "peacock" Xin Wu was discussing now was not the "peacock" she had in mind!
"Hehe! Yes, yes, in those days, business was not good, and I was too lazy to clean the fish tank. I jumped into the tank because of lack of oxygen. I said the wrong thing, I'm sorry!"
The owner of Shouzi Fish Shop was a "person who had done business" after all. He immediately sensed the meaning in Xinwu's "words" and quickly apologized.
"No? I remember that in your shop, every tank was very clean, and the fish inside were very beautiful. I even carried them one by one to look at them... Hehe, I'm sorry, that day, I was indeed 'Just don't buy it', I didn't help your business, but you helped me, I really should thank you! This 'thank you' was said after so long, and even after traveling so far away to say it, it's really... …What a fate!”
Zhou Shukang then lamented her "reunion after a long absence" and "meeting an old friend in a foreign land", which made Xin Wu's face turn blue with anger.
"Yeah, thank you, thank you beauty!"
The owner of Shouzi Fish Shop is very knowledgeable and doesn't want to say more, so as not to cause Xinwu more displeasure.
However, Zhou Shukang had no intention of stopping chatting. He remembered something again and asked:
"Just now, there was a person in the center of the stage inside. He looked like Hai Xiaolou from the Guo Kingdom! You know Hai Yantian's son, right?!"
The owner of Shouzi Fish Shop was stunned, then nodded and said:
"I know him. Who in the country doesn't know him?"
"So, is this person him? Has he come here too? Why do you want to be a singer? And... forget it!"
Zhou Shukang had a lot of questions, but as soon as he mentioned "taking off his shirt", he stopped. After all, it wasn't Eva who was opposite him.
"It's him. We came together, he... As you can see, except at night, he can come out to perform, but during the day, he is not qualified to be with them. We, who come from the country, are all I don't have this qualification. This 'second group' does not give immigrants from small countries like us who have no prominent background and come here halfway a chance to have their identities recognized. We can only breathe with them for a while here at night. , the same air.”
The owner of Shouzi Fish Shop seems to be very reluctant to talk about this matter. Maybe he still has a "respect" for Hai Xiaolou in his heart; for the upper class in the country, he can only act as a nightclub singer when he comes here. Feel unwilling and ashamed of the despicable treatment!
"Sorry, I talked too much! Are you leaving? Where are you going?"
The owner of Shouzi Fish Shop took the initiative to change the topic, and it seemed that he cherished the "friendship" he had just established with Xin Wu.
"That's right! Then, it's too unworthy of him! The heir to the majesty is not worthy, and he comes here to be a 'second-class citizen'. Really! I wasn't sure just now. If I knew it was him, I would definitely go up and pull him down and leave. This damn place!"
Zhou Shukang was still immersed in the topic just now and had no intention of leaving.
"What about you? How did you get here? We have gone through many tests to meet the standards!"
Zhou Shukang asked again.
"What about me? Just use money! I sold the fish shop and borrowed some money from relatives and friends. I collected enough and gave it to Master Qingshi. He has a way to save us. Here, you see, she, he , and him... we all came here after paying enough money!"
The owner of Shouzi Fish Shop pointed to the other "old, weak, sick and disabled" people who were setting up stalls, named their "fellow townspeople" status, and reported it to Zhou Shukang.
"Then it's money for a lifetime. When you get here, you want to live the same life as them, but it ends up like this? Why don't you go back? You've already lived like this!"
Zhou Shukang waved in a friendly manner to the few "compatriots" pointed out by the owner of Shouzi Fish Shop who were nodding in greetings, and then asked seriously.
"This? Go back? It's not that I haven't thought about it, but we all just think about it. We can't go back to this house. I'm afraid we can only go back and see it in our dreams. Everyone has decided this way: even if it's If you die, you have to die here. Not only will you be looked down upon by others if you go back, but also because we haven’t gone back for too long. We have already been used to the life here. If we go back, we will not be used to it, and we will not be very competitive. We can outperform others and live the same life. If we don’t go down, we might as well stay here. At any rate, when people in our hometown think of us, they envy us in their mouths and hearts. Letting them have more hope can be regarded as our ‘merit’!”
Xin Wu immediately thought of some people for the answer of the owner of Shouzi Fish Shop. This theory sounded familiar, but it was also inconvenient for the moment to tell it to Zhou Shukang in front of an "outsider".
"What about 'Hai Xiaolou'? There's no way he won't go back! He is the future sole heir to the throne of the kingdom, so he can't give up such a big responsibility and just stay here and not leave!"
