CH 40.1

“I, what I want to tell is the story and story of the cowherd and the weaving girl.” He was too nervous and stammered to form a sentence.

Next to him Ye Ya pounded the bamboo accompaniment, milkily said, “Hey, this story we haven’t heard.”

？

This accent is just not right!!

Shen Ran didn’t think much, and continued, “Once upon a time… there used to be a man named Niu Lang. He had been living with his brother and sister-in-law, but his sister-in-law, abused… abused him, so he took the old cow out to live. One day, the old cow said that there were fairies by the river who went down to the earth and asked the cowherd to meet the fairies. As long as the fairies stayed here until dawn, they would not be able to go back to the sky.”

The more he speaks, the neater it is, and just as he reached the climax, the sound of bamboo boards stopped abruptly.

Ye Ya tilted her head and looked puzzled, “Can a cow talk?”

Shen Ran nodded, “Yes.”

Ye Ya pinched her nose and began to imitate, “Does the cow go moo-moo?” She imitated the cow vividly, causing the parents in the audience to laugh out loud.

This stopped Shen Ran, and he lowered his eyes uncertainly and said, “Maybe…”

Ye Ya said, “Then the cowherd can understand the meaning of Moo Moo?”

“……”

The air solidifies.

The sound of bamboo boards sounded again, “It’s okay, you keep talking, let’s keep listening.”

Shen Ran breathed a sigh of relief, “Come on, let’s continue.” He didn’t realize that his Mandarin was crooked by the accent at all, “So the cowherd went to the river to watch the fairies take a bath. He fell in love with the smallest and most beautiful fairies.”

Da.

A crisp node fell on the bamboo board, and the sound stopped again.

Shen then stiffened his back and looked at Ye Ya in horror, “What’s the matter?”

Ye Ya had a flat face and an unhappy expression, “Why does the cowherd want to watch the fairy take a bath?” Ye Ya asked, “Fairies take baths that mortals can’t watch!” Mother said that Father can’t look at Yaya when she washed her small leaves, and neither can other male plants!”

What small leaves?

What male plants?

The strange words that jumped out of her mouth one after another confused Shen Ran.

Ye Ya was so angry that her cheeks were bulging. She was a small leaf living in the soil. She occasionally had to turn over the soil. Turning over the soil will dirty her body. At this time, her mother would clean her dirty little leaves and educate her not to let the males look at her body, even Dad. Unless there were special circumstances such as injuries.

“We finally know why his sister-in-law drove him away.”

Shen Ran, who was successfully brought into the Ye Ya’s logic chain, asked blankly, “Why?”

Ye Ya said with certainty, “He must have peeked at her taking a shower!！”

“……?”

Ye Ya whispered, “She was unhappy to be peeked at, but she was embarrassed to tell his brother, afraid of affecting their feelings. She also felt that Niu Lang, a mature adult, was too lazy living dependent upon them, so she abused Niu Lang and wanted him to leave so that he would no longer watch her taking a bath.”

It must be like this.

His sister-in-law is so pitiful.

Ye Ya sighed, the bamboo board was not as active as it had just been.

Shen Ran forgetting to blink, thought about the meaning of her words in a daze and pondered it carefully; it seemed that there was a bit of truth.

Even if it made sense, the story still had to be told.

“Then the cowherd took the little fairy’s clothes. After dawn, the little fairy without clothes stayed in the mortal world and lived happily with the cowherd.”

“The fairy won’t be able to go home, and her mother will be sad.” Ye Ya’s arms hung down, her head drooped down, she stood quietly in place without saying a word, her figure revealed a bit of loneliness.

“Yaya……”

She must have cried.

Shen Ran couldn’t help being nervous. He lowered his head and hurriedly hugged Ye Ya’s head and put it on his chest, “Yaya, don’t cry, I won’t tell the story of the cowherd, I won’t tell it anymore.”

“How can the cowherd make the fairy unable to go home–!” Ye Ya was so sad that she couldn’t help herself, “Mom will miss the little fairy! The little fairy will miss her mother too! How can the cow…cowherd be so mean.” The more Ye Ya spoke, the sadder she became; the more she thought about it, the sadder she became. She couldn’t stop her tears, she pulled the bamboo board upside down, and pulled the red silk Fangjing on it to wipe the tears from her face.

This behavior shocked Shen Ran and Teacher Li on the other side to forget to comfort.

Can bamboo boards be used like this?

When the atmosphere was silent, a sharp voice came from the seat, and Xia Qing jumped up and complained regardless of her mother’s blocking, “Shen Ran, you made Yaya cry! You are the bad guy!!”

“I’m not…” Shen Ran cried aggrieved, “I’m not…”

“Yaya, don’t cry~” Children are creatures that are easily driven by emotions. Looking at the little girl who cried for the true feelings of the story, Xia Qing’s nose became sour and she cried out, “You made Yaya cry-the cowherd is so bad…Wow!”

The little girl sitting in front was so frightened by this voice that her hands shook, and all the Mimi shrimp strips that had just been taken out shook to the ground.

She stared blankly at the shrimp strips scattered on the ground, her brain emptied for a few seconds, then her mouth glanced, her lacrimal glands activated, and tears surged out, “My Mimi–dropped, wow–!”

One cried.

Then two cried.

Three and four cried together.

There were still four or five children left who felt that it was inappropriate not to cry, so they followed the big army howling for no reason.
