Chapter 26 26. Turtle’s Injury 2

"There is a rule in the village. If someone catches a rare fish, they must not enjoy it themselves or sell it in the fish market. They must pay tribute to the court for the emperor to enjoy." Tang Bo said.

"The Emperor is thousands of miles away from here, at least, how can he take care of it?" Xiao Mi still shouted.

"Could it be that the place where you and I live does not belong to the Emperor?" Tang Bo sighed.

"I guess this isn't the first time something like this has happened in this village, right?" Liu Mo said aside.

"Yes." Uncle Tang nodded to him and said, "My grandfather and father both had some rare captures and never dared to keep them by themselves."

"You caught the fish yourself, you just ate it or sold it. What does it matter?" Xiao Mi said dissatisfiedly.

"I don't dare, I don't dare." Uncle Tang hurriedly shook his head and said, "If you eat or sell such fish, you will be beheaded..."

"Ah?" After hearing this, everyone was a little surprised.

"Why is it so serious?" Yu'er asked.

"The imperial court has long issued an order. No matter farmers, fishermen or merchants, if they have rare things, they must not hide them privately. They must present them to the government and send them to Jingyue City for the royal use. However, those who violate the rules will be chopped into pieces at the least.

If the hand is heavy, it will be beheaded. No one dares to joke with his own life." Tang Bo said.

"Is there such a thing? The emperor wants to enjoy all the good things in the world without doing anything?" Yu'er was also a little dissatisfied after hearing these words.

Uncle Tang hurriedly stopped Yu'er: "Girl, don't you dare say such nonsense."

"Everything in the world belongs to the royal family. Such laws have existed since ancient times." Qingyi said aside, "It's just that this criminal law is indeed a bit harsh."

"Huh, it's so far here. When we get to Jingyue City, the fish will stink. Let the dog emperor enjoy it!" Xiaomi said with great dissatisfaction.

"Girl, oh, girl!" Uncle Tang quickly grabbed Xiao Mi again, shook his head and said, "Don't ever say that again!"

"What are you afraid of?" Xiao Mi said, "I'm not afraid of that emperor!"

"Xiaomi!" Liu Mo also said something to stop Xiaomi.

There is no need to be afraid when they are around.

But they will leave soon. If they really cause any trouble, how will Uncle Tang's family protect themselves?

"Okay, Xiaomi, it's just a fish. Next time, sister will catch a bigger one for you." Yu'er also said.

"How to catch it? It was so difficult to bring that fish back. We almost died in the sea feeding the fish!" Xiao Mi pouted.

"Yu'er, what's going on?" Qingyi heard that Xiaomi said this again and asked Yu'er hurriedly.

"No, it's nothing, Xiaomi is just exaggerating." Yu'er said hurriedly.

If I want Sister Qingyi to go back and tell her mother, I will never even think about going down the mountain in my life.

"There's no exaggeration. The monster today was really powerful. If it hadn't been for the turtle who saved us, we would have..."

Xiao Mi just kept talking to herself, while Yu'er pinched her hand.

"Oh, it hurts so much!" Xiao Mi shook off Yu'er's hand and shouted, covering her own hand.

"What monster?" Qingyi pushed Yu'er away, pulled Xiao Mi and asked, "What's going on?"

Over there, Youjue heard the word "divine turtle" and immediately stared at Xiaomi intently.

"Xiaomi, don't make a fuss!" Yu'er blinked at Xiaomi.

"Xiaomi, tell sister Qingyi honestly!" Qingyi said to Xiaomi, "Otherwise, our family will not have your chopsticks in the future."

"Ah, this..." Xiao Mi paused, stuck out his tongue to Yu'er, and said to Qingyi, "Actually, when we came back, we encountered a very powerful sea monster! We almost died.

…”

It's rare to have such a wonderful adventure. I'm already full of words, so I can't hold it back.

When Qingyi said this this time, Xiaomi got the golden order, and he happily recounted the thrill at that time, and even more vividly told the story of the turtle saving the three of them.

Hearing Xiao Mi talk about the place where the harpoon pierced the hard back shell of the turtle, You Jue's eyes flashed with light.

"Thanks to the timely appearance of the turtle, otherwise, we might have been in the monster's belly now, or we would have taken advantage of the fish in the sea." Xiaomi patted his chest and said in fear.

"It is indeed thanks to the divine turtle," Tang Bo said from the sidelines. "The village has been offering sacrifices to the divine turtle for countless years. I never expected that there really was such a divine turtle, which saved several of us at a critical moment."

.”

"However," Xiaomi added, "the turtle's injury seems to be very serious, and he lost a lot of blood..."

"The turtle will be fine." Yu'er came up and patted Xiao Mi on the shoulder, comforting her.

"Ms. sir, this..." Qingyi said to Liu Mo.

"It is said that the East China Sea Divine Turtle has cultivated for more than ten thousand years. There should be one male and one female. The cultivation of this turtle is by no means easy. If this monster can hurt it, it will be extremely difficult." Liu Mo said.

"Yeah, I didn't expect that there would be such a powerful monster in the East China Sea." Qingyi nodded.

He pulled Yu'er over, put his arms around her shoulders and said, "Fortunately, thanks to the turtle, otherwise, how would I explain to your mother?"

"Sister Yu'er is also very powerful, thanks to her Snow Mountain Crystal Ice Wheel!" Xiaomi said aside.

"You two are already so powerful!" Qingyi also hugged Xiaomi, "But you are lucky this time. From now on, you will stay with me and don't go to sea again."

"We are lucky and have good fortune, so everything will be fine." Yu'er smiled at Qingyi.

"There are many evil things in the world, and you are so naughty. No wonder your mother is always worried." Qingyi sighed.

"You must not tell my mother about this!" Yu'er said hurriedly.

"What?" Qingyi asked.

"If she knows, I will never even think about going down the mountain again!" Yu'er stuck out her tongue, took Qingyi's hand and said, "Sister Qingyi, you must keep it a secret for me!"

"You haven't learned your lesson yet?" Qingyi shook her head.

"Good sister," Yu'er continued to act coquettishly and raised her right hand again, "I promise, I will be more careful in the future! I will definitely listen to my sister!"

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything." Qingyi couldn't withstand the attack and had to admit defeat.

Yu'er then let go of her hands with satisfaction and said with a smile: "I knew that Sister Qingyi was the best to me!"

"Uncle Tang," Liu Mo said to Uncle Tang, "don't go that far again in the future."

"Yes, it doesn't matter if you catch less fish." Tang Bo also nodded.

The people here were talking to each other, but You Jue was in a daze at the side.

After a while, everyone dispersed.

Qingyi went to prepare dinner, and Liu Mo naturally followed her.

Yu'er was injured and temporarily adjusted her breathing in the house.

Xiaomi took Xiaodong and Xiaobei to play in the yard.

Tang Bo collected the fish caught today so that he could go to the market to sell them tomorrow.

Yu'er just adjusted her breathing and came out of the courtyard. Xiaodong and Xiaobei were helping Uncle Tang clean up the pile of fish, but Xiaomi was nowhere to be seen.

"Where did sister Xiaomi go?" Yu'er asked Xiaobei.

"Brother Youjue asked her to go away." Xiao Bei said.

"You Jue?" Yu'er felt very strange.

This You Jue has always had a cold eyebrow and a cold face.

After the incident between the Tuhe Cave Master and the Living King of Hell last time, he seemed to be less indifferent to himself.

But towards other people, he always behaved like a stranger and never talked with them.

Why did you just call Xiaomi and go out today? Is there anything that you can’t let everyone know?
