"Hahaha……"
Tian Zhuo couldn't help laughing, shaking his head and sighing from time to time.
Zizhu and Mei Lan looked confused, and felt a little offended in their hearts.
"Hey! Are you crazy? What's so funny?"
After Tian Zhuo tried hard to hold back his laughter, he choked and coughed several times before he completely stopped laughing. But the smile on his face still lingered, and there were still tears from laughter in the corners of his eyes.
Waving his hand, he did not answer Zizhu's question. He only smiled jokingly and continued what they had left unfinished, saying:
"Not only does that thing look ugly, but the food it eats is even more...heh, if you don't even look at it, I'm afraid you will frown when you hear it, your ears will be dirty, and your appetite will be lost for a few days."
When the young man finished speaking, a mocking and playful smile appeared on his face.
But the smile disappeared in an instant, and the words in his mouth did not stop.
"However, it has a pretty nice name. And to say the least, it's quite appropriate, right?"
The two girls were already frowning when they heard this, because they didn't know what this guy was going to say after going around in a big circle. Not to mention, seeing through the meaning behind these words.
Zizhu had a straightforward temper. After hearing this impatiently, he choked and said:
"Speak directly if you have something to say, what are you talking about?"
Tian Zhuo shrugged his shoulders, but this time he was good-tempered and did not confront Zizhu. He just smiled and expressed his true feelings readily.
"The thing you are talking about is also called a frog. Maybe because it crows like a chicken? But I think it is more likely that they eat almost the same things."
Zizhu's mind hadn't turned around yet, she just stared at the young man in front of her, angrily resenting his disrespectful attitude towards her.
Mei Lan was attentive, and although she was confused the moment she heard these words, she felt blessed in the blink of an eye.
Green, wet things, frogs, they all eat the same thing, chickens...
Suddenly her face turned pale, and she could hardly restrain her lips from trembling as she asked in a harsh voice:
"You mean, the white meat strips just now..."
When Tian Zhuo heard this, he instantly showed his crooked but white teeth, smiled heartily and nodded:
"Yes, that's frog meat."
Seeing that the little girl was so shocked that her eyes suddenly lost focus, and she kept mumbling, "But that clearly looks and tastes like chicken," he also stroked his chin, thinking, and nodded after thinking:
"Well, don't tell me, they seem to have similar tastes and similar colors."
The young man is living in a hurry every day, with new things coming one after another, which makes him overwhelmed. Not only do he have to learn to do things throughout the day, but he also misses a little homework under the insistence of his master. His life is even more tiring than before.
With the spinning top spinning like a top, where can I have such free time to recall the past and appreciate the present?
Because of this, while he was thinking and talking, he suddenly couldn't help but sigh with a smile:
"When I didn't follow Master before, I had guessed that maybe the name Frog was because the meat tasted like chicken. I even comforted myself."
Because he was too emotional for the moment and fell deeply into memories, when he finished speaking, he was shocked to realize that he seemed to have missed something, and he didn't know how the two people listening to him would look down on others.
But when he instinctively looked up, he couldn't help but was stunned and blurted out:
"Where are the people?"
Mei Lan, who was originally standing opposite, was no longer visible. Only Zizhu, who was two steps away, was staring at him with an evil look on his face.
Although he still maintained the sitting position on the ground as he had just entered the alley, the moment Tian Zhuo met the other person's eyes, he alertly and instinctively took a big step back.
But this move seemed too cowardly. After the young man realized what he had done in the next moment, his face suddenly turned red, and he turned his head awkwardly, not forgetting to change the subject in a hasty manner:
"Where is your sister? Aren't you afraid that I will do something bad to you?"
Zizhu naturally noticed Tian Zhuo's actions, but he only looked sideways at the person in front of him and said perfunctorily:
"Am I afraid of you? Ask Mei Lan, she was so disgusted by you that she ran inside."
As she spoke, she turned her head to indicate the deep alley behind her, then frowned and asked:
"Is the dish we just ate really the meat of that thing?"
Zizhu asked this question too suddenly, and her tone was surprisingly calm.
When Tian Zhuo heard and reacted, he turned his head unconsciously out of surprise and stared at the girl standing on the stone steps in the corner with one hand on her leg and one leg stretched out.
He couldn't tell for a moment whether this was the "silence" before the storm, or a pretense.
After staring for a while, Zizhu finally reacted when Zizhu frowned impatiently and stared back fiercely, nodded and said:
"Ah! Well, yes."
After that, Tian Zhuo couldn't help but be curious and asked.
"...You don't feel anything, uh, special?"
He knew that he didn't express what he meant, but at the moment he really didn't know how to express the strange feelings and doubts in his heart.
Sure enough, this stupid question was met with another big eye roll and a fierce glare. But to his surprise, in addition to warning and disgust, he also received other responses.
"According to what you said, isn't that food similar to what chickens eat? Except that it seems to be slippery and annoying to the touch, there's nothing wrong with it."
When Zizhu said this, he had a strange and uncertain look on his face.
After hearing this, the young man obviously didn't believe it. He looked at Zizhu more and thought she was a strong person trying to show off her strength.
Because of this, the habit developed by spending time with Zizhu these days - the instinct to take advantage of others and identify the opponent's weaknesses "steadily and ruthlessly" was triggered again.
"You just have a tough talk. If you have ever seen a live frog in the field and seen it eating, it's probably..."
When Zizhu heard this, his eyebrows instantly stood up, and he chuckled with a disdainful expression:
"Oh, what's the big deal? I just eat bugs in the fields. I followed the princess and even ate real bugs! Are you afraid of eating bugs? Don't look down on people!"
"ha?!"
This sentence really shocked Tian Zhuo.
He had a look of astonishment on his face, and his whole body froze, and then he shook his head and finally came back to his senses. I couldn't help but secretly rub and smooth the goosebumps on my hands, but the man's eyes were full of admiration, and his attitude was very sincere and he asked:
"Have you really eaten bugs?"
Zizhu had regained his composure at this time. He glanced sideways at Tian Zhuo and hummed:
"Forget it if you don't believe it. So what if it's true or false?"
Tian Zhuo held it in for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said:
"What you are going to say is true, I will respect you from now on," Hao Han.
But before the last two words were uttered, Zizhu had already lifted his lips and smiled. He turned around happily and looked directly at the young man, smiling and saying:
"Okay! This is all what you said. I will take you to eat bugs some other day, and then you will be obedient to me."
At this time, a scream suddenly came from the alley, interrupting their conversation.
Zizhu and Tian Zhuo were both startled, and after looking at each other for a moment, they almost simultaneously raised their legs and ran towards the direction of the sound.
Meilan!
She is alone in this alley now!
…
In Room No. 1 of Tianzi at Fulai Inn, during the time when Feng Changshi was "scared" by Han Qinglan and their eyes met again, Princess Danyang had taken the opportunity to scan around the room.
As her eyes passed through a few treasures, her brows bulged and furrowed more and more tightly.
