"You're already a little gold digger yourself, everyone else would love to scrape a layer of gold dust off you, so why are you still greedy for money!" Lang Xuan lectured the little gold digger.
Linlin smiled, which did not affect the interaction between the human and the turtle.
He walked to Lang Xuan's dressing table, opened a drawer, and pulled out a handful of gold and silver ingots.
Lang Xuan, who had been secretly watching him with her eyes, said, "..."
They even knew where she kept such small things.
"What's wrong?"
She looks just like a little fox who wants to get close to people, but is also afraid of getting hurt.
"You must have been secretly watching me to find out where I hid things."
Lang Xuan accidentally blurted out what was on her mind.
Linlin smiled and said, "Yes, I often steal glances at you. Mainly, because you get shy if I look openly."
Lang Xuan blushed, but her eyes Jingjing with joy.
She exclaimed almost gleefully, "Then we're even!"
She no longer needs to feel guilty.
Linlin:"..."
If there's anyone in this world he can never truly understand, Lang Xuan is definitely one of them.
How can he possibly keep up with her thought process?
"No need to even things out, I'll let you look, look all you want, be completely open about it."
You can look wherever you want, it's fine.
It's best not to touch, but you can look all you want.
Lang Xuan was defeated once again.
Linlin had already come over with the gold and silver ingots, brushed aside the pearls, and scattered the gold and silver ingots around the little golden tortoise.
The little golden tortoise looked at gold and silver as dirt, with a look of disgust.
Brushing aside the "dung," it continued to rest against its pearl.
Lang Xuan looked at Linlin in confusion.
He must know what's going on.
If you don't know, it's because he's been too tired lately.
For example, when I'm tired, I can get very confused.
Linlin met her eager gaze, cleared her throat, and said, "I guess it's because the little golden turtle also comes from the water? And pearls are produced by oysters, so perhaps there's a sense of familiarity?"
Because we're all aquatic?
Who knows, maybe our ancestors were friends underwater?
This explanation made him laugh.
He simply couldn't be as convincing as Cui Xiaoqiu when he lied through his teeth.
Lang Xuan nodded. "Then that makes sense, it must be like that."
Now that the little golden tortoise has been found, Linlin is relieved.
As for liking pearls, so be it; it's not like you're eating them.
Even if they ate pearls, it wouldn't be impossible to afford it.
This is all the hobbies Lang Xuan has.
The matter of finding the turtle has finally been resolved.
Lang Xuan is very fond of the little golden turtle, but blindly idolizes Linlin.
She thought Linlin's explanation made sense, so she had someone find some pebbles, pretty seashells, and some dried, beautiful starfish for the little golden turtle to play with.
As a result, the little golden beetle was very disgusted and wouldn't even look at it.
Lang Xuan: She must have made a mistake.
If it wasn't born by the sea, then it might be from freshwater?
So she tried putting the little golden turtle into the pond in the mansion, but it almost drowned.
Lang Xuan was greatly frightened and ran to find Linlin.
Have you ever heard of a turtle that can't swim?
Linlin: "I've heard about it now."
But that doesn't seem so surprising. After all, looking like that is strange enough, and the rest doesn't seem so hard to accept.
"It's so pitiful."
"Can you swim?" Linlin asked.
Lang Xuan: "... No. But, but I'm not a turtle!"
"This species probably can't swim at all."
Regardless, Lang Xuan still felt that Xiao Huai Huai's inability to swim was a congenital disability in the turtle world, which was truly pitiful.
So Lang Xuan dug up a few more worms to feed it.
Linlin was busy making arrangements to deal with the Oirat, while Qu Nian, Cui Xiaoqiu, and Yanran went over there to dig up graves.
I don't know what difficulties they've encountered, but progress over there is very slow.
Lang Xuan felt that she couldn't just stay in the mansion doing nothing all day, so she decided to walk the tortoise. One day, after getting Linlin's permission, she took the little golden tortoise to find Yanran.
She never expected to be able to help at all.
She knows her own limitations.
But she swore she didn't mean to cause trouble!
She was holding the Xiao Huai very carefully, but somehow the latter slipped away and disappeared without a trace.
Lang Xuan was anxious and flustered, but she was too embarrassed to ask the group of people who were working so hard to help her find her pet turtle.
Finally, Yanran noticed something was wrong with her and asked a question, then called out to everyone, "Alright, everyone, take a break."
This damn thing is impossible to dig up!
Was it made with diamond?
So many people are working hard every day, but there's been no progress.
Yanran is so irritable right now that she wants to blow up the grave with gunpowder.
But blowing up graves is easy; if the treasures are gone, there's nowhere to cry.
"I brought a little golden tortoise with me today," Yanran took the blame, "And it disappeared in the blink of an eye. Everyone, look around, it's a shiny little golden tortoise, and it's not small either. If we find it, we'll slaughter a lamb, roast it, and have lamb soup tomorrow!"
She got along well with everyone, and no one was afraid of her.
Many people felt that she and their younger sister were not much different, and thus had a bias towards her.
So when Yanran said she was looking for the little turtle, everyone teased her, but that didn't stop them from helping.
Lang Xuan felt very embarrassed and thought to herself that she must pay for everyone's meals tomorrow.
But she was also worried about the little golden turtle.
It was all her carelessness that caused her to lose the little golden turtle.
Suddenly, Lang Xuan had an idea.
She said to Yanran, "Tell everyone to stop looking and go about their business. Just find someone close to you to go back and get my things."
"What are you getting?" Yanran asked curiously.
"Pearl!"
Because no matter where Lang Xuan hid the pearls, the little golden turtle was always eager to try them out.
It seems that for the little golden tortoise, pearls are the ultimate delicacy, and the kind of fragrance that travels for miles, allowing it to find them simply by smelling them.
Since we can't find it, let's lure it back.
"Alright then." Yanran found someone to go back and deliver the message, and then continued to discuss the grave-digging matter with the others.
Lang Xuan couldn't offer much help, so she just stood quietly to the side, watching Qu Nian discuss things with Cui Xiaoqiu in a state of unease, and watching Yanran join the guards in swinging hammers at the hard, iron-like ground.
Yanran the hammer down, and her hand on her thumb and forefinger stung painfully.
Cui Xiaoqiu caught a glimpse of this out of the corner of her eye and came over, saying, "Don't do it yourself anymore, take it slow."
Yanran let out a long sigh, rubbed her hand, and joked with a wry smile, "If this keeps up, I'll have no choice but to write back to the capital and borrow Little Tangyuan!"
That little guy, he punched a hole in every time!
Jokes aside, we still have to get to work.
Cui Xiaoqiu had already discussed with Qu Nian that they should try using a small amount of gunpowder first. They needed to at least blast open this layer before they could advance, and they couldn't waste time at the beginning.
Lang Xuan listened quietly beside her, silently praying that they would find it.
Yuwen Duo said that this item was of great importance to the Empress, and that Heaven should surely bless her.
Oh, and I need to get Xiao Huai back soon.
This little thing is driving her crazy.
