Chapter 36 White Crane Boy: I will always remember your life-saving grace!
"No, sister!" Xiaoqing held the two big fat cranes' necks tightly.
She thought to herself, I'm going to eat these two cranes today!
"Such a fat crane, don't you want to taste what it tastes like?"
Xiao Qing blinked her eyes and said coquettishly, "If their owner comes looking for them, the worst that can happen is that I will just have to pay them back!"
She thought of Xiaobai's cooking skills, and the image of the crispy and fragrant crane meat came to her mind.
The mouth secretes saliva uncontrollably.
Gudong!
She swallowed.
It was early in the morning, and it was time for dinner. These two cranes were the perfect way to fill her stomach!
After saying that, she carried the crane and walked towards the chopping board.
The two cranes flapped their wings wildly.
At this moment, they felt extremely desperate.
Whenever they had the slightest thought of resistance, they would feel the sword's awe-inspiring force piercing their souls, causing them pain as if their souls were being torn apart.
If they don't resist, they will be eaten!
These are no ordinary cranes.
They are the twin white crane boys from Kunlun Mountain, and they are well-known in the spiritual world. Usually, all the immortals who come and go are polite to them.
But today it has fallen to this point!
In the blink of an eye, the sharp kitchen knife was within reach, and even the small spots on the blade were clearly visible.
The two white crane boys were filled with grief.
The world is so vast, why can’t I see a way to life, but only the word death?
Who will save us?
At this moment, the voice of a living Bodhisattva sounded again: "Xiaoqing, listen to your sister's advice and let them go."
"Sister!" Xiaoqing stopped.
"Isn't it just eating two cranes?" She turned and looked at Xiaobai, her face full of confusion.
Xiaobai didn't mean to embarrass Xiaoqing. She explained, "Anyone who can raise cranes in the city must be of extraordinary status. And he raised these two cranes so fat. It must be because he loves them so much that he feeds them often."
Xiaoqing frowned.
She was only thinking about eating and didn't think about it too much.
In this case, eating the two cranes might cause trouble for her sister.
But she couldn't bear to let it go.
After all, it is rare to see such fat cranes.
"Since it is someone else's favorite thing, we should not destroy it." Xiaobai paused, "Sister will make it up to you and make you roast rabbit meat at noon."
"Okay?" Xiaobai said gently.
Listening to Xiaobai's voice, Baihe Tongzi felt like he was hearing the sound of nature.
Xiaoqing didn't answer.
She pursed her lips, a fierce struggle in her heart.
Rabbit meat or crane meat?
It seemed as if there was a scale in my heart, with the crispy and fragrant crane meat on the left, and the sizzling rabbit meat and the worry about trouble on the right.
The balance swung, and she hesitated.
At this moment, she thought of the rabbit monster she met a few days ago, so she added another weight on the rabbit meat side.
"Okay." Xiao Qing gritted her teeth and said, "I'll release the two cranes back to the pond, and we'll have roasted rabbit meat for lunch. I'll catch the rabbits."
"Yeah." Xiaobai smiled and nodded.
At this time, Xiaoqing's hand loosened a little.
Flutter!
The white crane boy broke free from Xiaoqing's clutches and flew to Xiaobai's feet, their hearts filled with joy of surviving a calamity.
Xiaobai squatted down and looked at them carefully.
Four words burst out from her heart
What a fat crane!
Xiaoqing's description is just right.
If the big drum outside the yamen grew wings, it would look similar to these two cranes.
The White Crane Boy rubbed his head against Xiaobai, feeling grateful.
I will always remember your life-saving grace!
If the fairy comes to Kunlun Mountain to play one day, we two brothers will protect you!
The words of gratitude turned into a few cries of grief.
"Wow! Wow!"
Xiaobai's head was buzzing with the shock.
Xiaobai smiled faintly, she could feel the kindness of the White Crane Boy towards her.
She reached out and stroked their fur.
The white crane boys squinted their eyes in comfort. They nudged Xiaobai's legs with their heads and wanted Xiaobai to touch them a few more times.
Suddenly, Xiaoqing's ruthless iron hands grabbed their throats.
Their bodies suddenly left the ground, and their short legs swung fruitlessly in the air, looking extremely helpless.
Xiaoqing carried the White Crane Boy and walked out of the courtyard.
"Go!"
She grabbed the White Crane Boy's neck, swung him in the air, and then threw him with all her strength.
No arc thrown.
Because the white crane boys were too heavy, they fell into the water before they flew far, making huge splashes.
It was like two rocks falling into the water, losing their balance and rolling around in the water.
It looks both funny and pitiful.
"What a pity! This is the first time I've seen such a fat crane."
Xiao Qing looked at the "crane ball" rolling in the water reluctantly, muttering: "My sister is kind-hearted. I will let you go this time. If you are caught by me next time, you will not be so lucky!"
Hearing this, Baihe Tongzi was terrified.
They flapped their wings frantically, trying to regain their balance, and swam to the center of the pond as if running for their lives.
After breakfast, the aroma of food lingered in the yard.
"Madam, let me do it." Xu Xian grabbed Xiaobai's hand, took the dishes and chopsticks from Xiaobai with a smile, and then walked towards the canal in the corner.
Xiaobai followed him and said gently, "Sir, thank you for your hard work."
Xu Xian didn't take it seriously. He smiled and replied, "It's not hard. Xiaoqing licked the dishes clean. I just need to rinse them."
Not far away, Xiaoqing tilted her head.
She vaguely felt that there was something wrong with Xu Xian's words, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.
"Sister, I'm going to catch rabbits!"
Xiaoqing walked out of the yard.
She recalled her experience of fighting with the rabbit demon. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and her teeth unconsciously began to gnash.
That rabbit monster is so abominable, I must catch it today and use it as a snack for my drink!
"Be careful!" Xiaobai said with concern.
She thought that Xiaoqing had learned sword skills in her dream and her abilities had greatly improved, so nothing unexpected should happen.
"Got it!" Xiao Qing waved without even turning her head, "I'll be back before lunch!"
Xu Xian raised his head and glanced at Xiaoqing's back.
He washed the dishes and put them in the cupboard, then took out a small medicine box from the house.
"Madam, I have to go out for a while as well." He hung the small medicine box on his shoulder, "Mr. Wang asked me to check up his mother."
Xiaobai nodded gently and said softly, "I'm at home, so don't worry, sir. Remember to come back for lunch."
Xu Xian came over and hugged Xiaobai gently.
He sniffed the fragrance on Xiaobai's hair, then raised his head and kissed Xiaobai on the cheek.
"The neighbors know that I'm getting married, so they haven't come to bother me these days."
He looked serious and told Xiao Bai, "I'm going to Wang Yuanwai's house and will be back as soon as I'm done. If my wife encounters any trouble, you can ask someone to invite my brother-in-law to come."
"Yeah, I know." Xiaobai felt the residual warmth left by the kiss and his face turned slightly red.
Xu Xian said goodbye to Xiaobai and left the yard.
He walked towards Mr. Wang's house.
Mr. Wang's mother had just recovered from a serious illness. Mr. Wang didn't trust anyone else and was only willing to ask him to see her.
But when passing by a small alley, he walked in and disappeared.
