Chapter 67 Money Turtle

"Okay, the four-legged snake has already run away!" Zhang Xiaoran stroked Xu Qianqian's hair, the soft and smooth feeling fascinated Zhang Xiaoran.

"I hate it. If you touch someone's head, you won't grow taller." Xu Qianqian said to Brother Xiaoran.

"Hehehe..."

Zhang Xiaoran smiled, and continued to take Xu Qianqian forward in the mountains, and found a few pheasants in the bushes. Speaking of pheasants, Zhang Xiaoran really ate a lot when he was young.

Zhang Xiaoran's father was a good hunter, and almost every month he could kill a few pheasants to feed the family. Fortunately, pheasants were not a protected animal at that time.

But now it's gone, the pheasants have become national protected animals, so they can't move anyway.

The previous era of relying on mountains to eat mountains has passed. Now not only the wild animals on the mountains are mostly protected animals, but also some weeds and wild flowers that can be seen everywhere before have become protected plants. You can't even cut down the trees you planted without authorization. .

Now I live in the mountains, and I can only grow and grow food by myself, but I dare not think about the mountains. If it is not good, it may break the law.

After all, how do ordinary people know so many protected animals and plants, not afraid of [-], just in case, if they dig up a few weeds and turn out to be protected plants, they will be imprisoned, fined, or even sentenced to death. , The robbery is even more serious.

"Brother Xiaoran, look at those bamboo chickens, they are so beautiful!" Qianqian pointed to a few pheasants walking leisurely not far ahead.

There are two big bamboo chickens, one male and one female, and there are six or seven small bamboo chickens beside them. It is obvious that the bamboo chickens are from a family, a very warm family.

Bamboo chicken is also known as "mud slippery", "bamboo partridge" or "flat pot". It belongs to Galliformes, Phasianidae, and male bamboo chicken is aggressive by nature.

Bamboo chicken not only has beautiful feathers, but also has a unique taste. The bones are thin and the meat is thick, the meat is tender and delicious, and it is rich in nutrition.Bamboo chicken is sweet in taste and warm in nature. It can nourish the mind, strengthen the brain and improve the mind. It is really the best of the mountain.

Bamboo chickens are not very afraid of people. If they are not disturbed, they can look for food or fight within a visual distance of 3 to 5 meters from the human body.

Bamboo chickens often move in groups in mountains, shrubs, grasses, bamboo forests and other places, ranging from 3 to 5 or more than 10, and often march in a single formation.

In summer, they mostly move on the mountainside and the top of the mountain, and in winter they move to the foot of the mountain, by the stream and in the jungle to forage. At night, they line up on the horizontal branches in a string close to each other to keep warm. If a certain bamboo chicken falls due to illness or other reasons, the other Bamboo chicken will squeeze over to fill its empty spot.

Bamboo chickens feed on weed seeds, vegetable leaves, shoots, granular fruits, and smaller insects.

There are fewer bamboo chickens now, because outsiders come here to buy more. Coupled with the hunting and killing of people, the current bamboo chickens have reached as much as hundreds of yuan.

But now the bamboo chicken has also been included in the catalog of wild protected animals, and it is illegal to kill it.

So if you want to go hunting in the mountains now, you must first memorize the catalog of wild protected animals, otherwise you may break the law if you are not careful.

Of course, if you can stop hunting, don’t go hunting. Now there are only a handful of wild animals on the mountain that are not protected.

Some people even caught a wild rabbit in some places, and they were caught in the name of poaching, and they were fined a lot of money.

Seeing Zhang Xiaoran and Xu Qianqian approaching, the group of bamboo chickens spread their wings and flew away.

After walking for a long time, they saw a stream in front of them, which was cool and refreshing. Zhang Xiaoran and Xu Qianqian walked over to drink the water with their hands.

The stream water in the mountains is unpolluted, and it tastes cool and sweet, much better than the mineral water in the city.

"Uncle, I can't walk anymore!"

Xu Qianqian sat on a stone by the stream, looked at him pitifully and said.

Now Xu Qianqian regrets that she proposed to climb the mountain. I had so much fun playing with Brother Xiaoran yesterday, I haven't recovered my physical strength yet!

It was only halfway up the mountain, and my legs felt weak.

"are you tired."

Zhang Xiaoran looked at Xu Qianqian who was out of breath and said.

In the early morning of late autumn, the temperature in the middle of the mountain is not high, even a little low. It can be said that it is cool, but Xu Qianqian's face is covered with sweat, and she is tired all the way.

It seems that I have to get some nutritious food for her.

Ever since they were engaged to live together, as long as her relatives didn't come, Zhang Xiaoran felt uncomfortable if she didn't exercise six or seven times a day in the morning, afternoon and evening.

It's really hard for Xu Qianqian to bear such a heavy workload every day.

"Ah."

Xu Qianqian nodded in response.

Xu Qianqian herself didn't expect to be so tired. She hadn't finished half of the journey yet, and she was too tired to walk.

Xu Qianqian is really blaming herself now, since she followed Brother Xiaoran, her life has improved and she has started to be pampered. After climbing the mountain for a while, she no longer has the strength.

How can I serve Brother Xiaoran in the future!

"Qianqian, I'll carry you on my back."

Zhang Xiaoran unbuttoned his backpack, then squatted down in front of Xu Qianqian, and said to Xu Qianqian.

Zhang Xiaoran could tell at a glance that his little daughter-in-law simply didn't have the strength to go on.

"No, brother Xiaoran, you will be very tired then."

Xu Qianqian shook her head and said.

She was still carrying a backpack on her back, and she was also very tired to help her along the way. If she had to carry it on her back, Xu Qianqian was really worried that brother Xiaoran wouldn't be able to bear it.

"Hehe, your man is very strong, and he has no problem walking with you on his back."

Zhang Xiaoran said with a smile.Apart from the difficult road, Xu Qianqian's weight really didn't put any pressure on Zhang Xiaoran.

"Brother Xiaoran..."

Xu Qianqian felt very happy.

"Hey, come up quickly, I can hurry up without you." Zhang Xiaoran turned her head and said to Xu Qianqian.

"Ah."

Xu Qianqian replied, lying obediently on Zhang Xiaoran's body.

"Take it."

The wooden stick in Zhang Xiaoran's hand was handed over to Xu Qianqian. After all, she was carrying a person on her back, and one of the two hands must support her woman's hip.

"Hold me tight." Zhang Xiaoran confessed to Xu Qianqian.

"Brother Xiaoran, it's done."

Xu Qianqian said while lying on Zhang Xiaoran's body.

Lying on her man's body, Xu Qianqian felt extremely warm and extremely happy.

"Let's go."

Zhang Xiaoran held Xu Qianqian's hips, carried Xu Qianqian on his back and walked towards the top of the mountain easily against the mountain wind.

Now Zhang Xiaoran's physical fitness is much higher than that of ordinary adult men, Xu Qianqian's weight is not a problem for him.

After walking for a while, there was a piece of "wild strawberry" on the side of the road, bright red in color, the small fruit was as big as the tip of a thumb, and there were many small particles like bug eyes on it.

Zhang Xiaoran picked some, washed them with mineral water, and handed them to Xu Qianqian. This "wild strawberry" tasted sweet and sour, and had an excellent taste.

When Zhang Xiaoran was young, he often picked this kind of "wild strawberry" to eat, but in the past, this kind of "wild strawberry" basically didn't mature until September or October. I didn't expect that it was almost November now, and there were still people on this mountain. This "wild strawberry".

"Really delicious."

Xu Qianqian ate a few and thought it tasted very good.

As a child who grew up in the mountains, Xu Qianqian naturally ate wild strawberries, but most wild strawberries matured in July and August. Although they tasted sweet at that time, they still had a green taste.

But now the wild strawberries picked by brother Xiaoran don't have a green taste, they are sweet, very sweet, and they are fully ripe wild strawberries.

"It's delicious, Brother Xiaoran, you pick more, we'll eat it on the way."

After eating a few "wild strawberries" in a row, Xu Qianqian couldn't help but happily said to Zhang Xiaoran.

Xu Qianqian smiled, her teeth were shining and white, even with some red fruit pulp on the corners of her mouth, she was still so charming.

"This is a raspberry, not an ordinary wild strawberry. This small piece is on the side of the road and is usually eaten up by tourists passing by. Fortunately, we came early today."

Zhang Xiaoran plucked all the remaining wild strawberries in three or two strokes, there were only more than 50 in total, it looked like a lot, but it was a pity that it was a little bigger than soybeans, and it was only three or four strawberries in total.

After picking, Zhang Xiaoran grabbed Xu Qianqian's white and tender slender palm, and put all the freshly picked wild strawberries into her hand.The palms are soft and tender.

His daughter-in-law's hands were very smooth to the touch, and Zhang Xiaoran felt that he could never get enough of them.

"Hehe, brother Xiaoran, are you reluctant to give it all to me?" Xu Qianqian smiled and looked at her man jokingly.

"How is it possible? You are my wife, why would I be reluctant, let's continue on the road." Zhang Xiaoran carried Xu Qianqian on his back and walked towards the top of the mountain again.

"Okay, let's go to the Great Deep Pool!" shouted the children.

"Brother Xiaoran, look quickly, there is a big puddle over there!" Xu Qianqian who was lying on Zhang Xiaoran's back pointed to the front and said excitedly.

Zhang Xiaoran also saw the big water pool, which had a size of six or seven acres of land.

I didn't expect that there was such a big pool hidden in this mountain, but it was normal after thinking about it. After all, there is a big stream in this mountain, and there is Luoxia Lake at the bottom of the mountain. It is normal that there are several big pools on it. .

"Brother Xiaoran, look quickly, then...is that a turtle, what a big turtle?" Xu Qianqian got off Zhang Xiaoran's back, pointed at a spot in the water pool and shouted excitedly.

Zhang Xiaoran's eyes followed the direction Xu Qianqian pointed, and saw a big golden turtle swimming in the water of the deep pool, leisurely and not happy.

"Money turtle?"

Now Zhang Xiaoran's spirit came, and he lost all tiredness immediately.

Zhang Xiaoran had seen the video of the money turtle on Douyin, so he recognized the golden turtle as the money turtle at a glance. He really didn't expect that he was so lucky to meet the money turtle.

The money turtle is also called the third-line box turtle, also known as the money turtle, golden-headed turtle, and red-bellied turtle.It mainly preys on aquatic animals such as snails, fish, shrimps, and tadpoles in the water. It also eats young mice, young frogs, scarabs, snails, and fly maggots. Sometimes it also eats pumpkins, bananas, and young stems and leaves of plants.

The whole body of the money turtle is a treasure. It is not only delicious in meat, but also has the effects of nourishing yin and reducing fire, nourishing heart and kidney, and strengthening bones and muscles. It can treat bone tuberculosis, joint tuberculosis, chronic osteomyelitis, rheumatic arthralgia, disease, and chronic cough. , metrorrhagia, vaginal discharge, nocturnal emission, sore throat embolism, is a precious medicinal material.

This kind of wild money turtle is very valuable, picking it up is like picking up a big ingot.

What's more, this wild money turtle is as big as a washbasin.

Watching the money turtle swimming, Zhang Xiaoran thought to himself that he didn't bring any fishing gear, and wondered how to catch the money turtle.

Zhang Xiaoran didn't want to catch the money turtle and sell it for money, but wanted to keep the money turtle in the pond outside his yard.

Raising money turtles at home is a good sign of many talents and blessings.

"Brother Xiaoran, this turtle is so big, it's still golden in color, what kind of turtle is it?" Xu Qianqian asked curiously as she looked at the money turtle swimming slowly by the pool.

"Keep your voice down, that's a money turtle. Such a wild money turtle is very valuable." Zhang Xiaoran said in a low voice.

I'm afraid that if the sound is too loud, if the money turtle runs into the pool and sinks into the bottom, it will be troublesome, and it will be almost impossible to catch it.

"Then...then let's catch it?" Xu Qianqian's eyes lit up when she heard that the money turtle was worth a lot.

"Okay, just stay here and don't move, I'll catch it." Now that he has met it, it is naturally impossible for Zhang Xiaoran to let the money turtle go.

From now on, the money turtle will be the mascot of my town house.

Zhang Xiaoran took off his coat and tied his clothes to the wooden stick. After a few minutes, the simple fishing net was ready. Zhang Xiaoran lay down by the pool and used the self-made fishing net to carry the turtle.

"Great, I caught it." Xu Qianqian ran over excitedly.

"Brother Xiaoran, I'll hold it."

Xu Qianqian was so excited that she stretched out her hand to hug her, but Zhang Xiaoran quickly grabbed her hand and reprimanded her: "You are really brave, be careful that it will bite off your fingers."

Hearing Zhang Xiaoran's reproach, Xu Qianqian quickly withdrew her hand,

Brother Xiaoran was right to blame, because if he was bitten by a turtle, he might even break his fingers, and even if he did not stop, he would still be half dead from the pain.

As soon as I was happy, I forgot that this tortoise can bite people, and the kind that bites very hard.

"Brother Xiaoran, this tortoise is so beautiful, it's a pity to sell it." The more Xu Qianqian looked at the golden tortoise, the more she liked it, and she was reluctant to sell it.

But this money turtle is very valuable, if it is not sold, Xu Qianqian feels that it will be a big loss.

It's hard to choose.

"We don't sell this money turtle. We keep it in the pond outside the yard as the mascot of the town house. Wife, please give this turtle a name." Zhang Xiaoran said with a smile.

"Okay, okay!" Xu Qianqian said excitedly.

From now on, this beautiful golden tortoise will be my family's pet, with the same status as "Wangcai". What name should I marry?

Xu Qianqian thought for a while and said, "Brother Xiaoran, why don't we call it 'Wang Yun' and be of the same generation as 'Wang Cai'?"

"Lucky?"

Although this name is not very easy to pronounce, it has a very good meaning, and it fits the name of the mascot of the town house.

"Okay, from now on it will be called Wangyun." Zhang Xiaoran nodded in agreement.

Tie the two hind legs of the money turtle with a straw rope and hang it on the backpack to prevent it from running away.
