My 1995 Small Farm

  Chapter 361 Gimmick, like a joke

  The Lord Turtle appeared again.

  Whether the villagers or Zhou Weijun and Yu Qi'an were all happy and full of surprises.

   Only Chen Ling was a little worried.

   I'm afraid another water monster appeared in the reservoir.

   Immediately, they took Zhou Weijun, Yu Qi'an and others together with the crowd in the village to the reservoir.

  As a result, when we arrived at the entrance of the village, the people on the dam were already full, three floors inside and three floors outside.

   "Good guy, the whole village must have come out to see it."

   Zhou Weijun saw the situation and couldn't help exclaiming that there were too many people.

  Even if there are more young people going out to work this year, there are still quite a lot of people who stay in the village to work in agriculture, no more than the tragic situation of left-behind children and widowed elderly people in the past ten years.

   Ma Wei behind him pulled Chen Ling and said, "I've seen the old turtle here several times in photos and newspapers. It must have finished hibernation and just came out to look for food."

  Chen Ling shook his head: "I don't know, this thing showed up two or three times last year, and it's not usually seen."

  Under normal circumstances, the old turtle will end its hibernation in March of the lunar calendar. After a whole winter of hibernation, the old turtle will be hungry and will come out to look for food. It will be easier to catch the old turtle at this time.

   But the big guys like Garlic are not afraid of the cold at all. Chen Ling has tested it before, and they don't need to hibernate.

  On weekdays, you can hunt big fish at the bottom of the water, and you won’t be hungry.

  Sometimes I also go for a swim in the two big rivers.

   Chen Ling knew all of this.

   In my spare time, I also visit them in the reservoir and feed them food.

   Every time you come to find them, just tap the water on the surface of the water.

   If at the reservoir, it will show up within two minutes.

   If you are not there, there is no response.

  At this time, just as Chen Ling finished speaking with Ma Wei, the crowd burst into exclamations.

   "The Lord Turtle is back!"

Hearing this, Yu Qi'an hastily stood on tiptoe behind the crowd, jumping up, wanting to see the true face of the so-called turtle prince, but unfortunately, there were too many people, and he couldn't get in even if he squeezed in, he was so anxious that he scratched his heart .

   Keep shouting: "Brothers and sisters-in-law in front, you have finished watching, let us watch it too."

  No one pays attention to him, they all want to be closer to Lord Turtle for some luck.

   "Rich, rich, help my brothers, I want to see the old turtle can't see, hurry up and help me, I beg you."

  Yu Qi'an grabbed Chen Ling's hand and jumped straight up, almost kneeling before Chen Ling in a hurry.

He was anxious, and Ma Wei was also anxious. He opened his eyes wide and narrowed his eyes. He pointed to the little boys on the nearby trees and said, "No, let's climb the tree too. This tree is tall and strong. Let's move two stools to step on it." Climb up and you will definitely see it."

  They had heard Zhou Weijun talk about the big turtle here, and had seen the photos. They thought that such a rare thing would be rare for many years, and they didn't expect to see it with their own eyes.

   I didn't expect them to run into each other this time, how can I miss it.

   If you miss it, if you can’t see it again, you will not regret it when you think about it later?

  Watching Zhou Weijun and Wang Jusheng move the chairs, Chen Ling quickly stopped him and said, "No, no."

   Then he shouted to the crowd: "The Lord Turtle has come out, hurry home and get the raw meat, and the red cloth incense paper, and offer an offering to the Lord Turtle."

   When he shouted, the excitement in the crowd stopped for a moment, then turned around and ran home.

  People at this time are emphasizing that the gods and Buddhas must eat their own incense and tributes, so that blessings will be given to themselves and their family members will be blessed.

  So I go back to my own home and prepare it myself.

  After doing this, the originally dense crowd quickly disappeared.

  Only Chen Ling and the others left on the dam, as well as the big boss Tian Hongli who came to inspect the ornamental fish.

   "Brother-in-law, what are you doing to stop us, go back and get incense and candles, goodbye Lord Turtle."

  Wang Zhenzhen had already rushed over with his sister and parents to see the old turtle, and was in a hurry to run home, but was stopped by Chen Ling, so he was in a hurry, afraid that he would not be able to catch up.

   "What kind of worship, our family doesn't do this."

  Chen Ling dragged his sister-in-law's arm speechlessly. The villagers didn't know what was going on, so how could the turtle he let go be ignorant of what was going on.

  This thing raised by oneself, is it still offered as an ancestor?

   Nothing.

   Immediately after speaking a few words with Wang Susu and the elders, they stood quietly on the shore and looked down.

  At this time, Yu Qi'an and the others also saw the true face of the old turtle in the reservoir, and they couldn't help but gasped: "Hiss, I'll be good, the leader of the big turtle is really a turtle prince."

   Ma Wei's squinting eyes were all round: "Oh my god, this is the big turtle that I talked about in my old life. This back is bigger than a pan."

  When they saw giant turtles written in the newspaper last year, they still refused to believe it.

   Now that I saw it with my own eyes, I realized that the newspaper did not exaggerate at all, but the photo made the giant turtle too small.

   It is far from the shock of seeing it with my own eyes.

  On the broad water surface, huge turtles were like oval reefs protruding in the water. Their backs were as black as ink, wide and wide, scattered in the water, slowly swimming from the depths of the reservoir towards the shore.

Illuminated by the afternoon sun, these huge creatures swayed through layers of huge water eddies, rolled the waves stirred by the sparkling water surface, and drove them away from the water surface, as if the mythical tortoise came from afar And close, the scene is extremely shocking.

   Zhou Weijun didn't care about what to say, he quickly picked up the camera and began to capture this rare spectacle.

  And that Tian Hongli stared blankly at the many large turtles in the water, and didn't say a word for a long time.

   "A Ling, don't we really want to bring some tribute?"

  Wang Susu couldn't help asking when she saw that the nearby villagers were kowtowing on the bank with tribute incense candles.

  She also believes in good fortune, and hopes that Lord Turtle can bless her husband and children.

  Chen Ling shook his head and smiled with his son in his arms: "No, I'll just bring live chickens and ducks over later."

  His attention was not on the villagers kowtowing to pay homage, nor on the reaction of Yu Qi'an and others, but was always staring at the garlic and the reeds on the bank.

   "Look, look, Lord Turtle has reached the shore, hurry up and kowtow."

   The villagers were still exclaiming, but Chen Ling knew that Suan Tou swam over to tell him what happened.

  Otherwise, after getting their own admonition, they will not show up in full view without special circumstances.

  Holding his son in his arms, he walked down again, looking back and forth between the reeds.

   After looking at it, the problem was discovered again.

  Green green new reeds grow out of the withered and yellow dry reeds, and in the middle of the reeds there is a grass pit where an unknown creature "lie" out, floating on the water.

  It is like the marks of animals lying out on the haystack in the barn.

  Following this trace and looking up to the riverside, I saw a washbasin-sized soil hole, which was covered by thick decaying leaves and weeds from last year.

   "Sure enough, there is a situation. I don't know what it is. It can live in the water and dig holes."

  Chen Ling lightly frowned and thought: "Is it something like a badger? The fur of a badger is thick and fine, and it is not afraid of water. Besides, I blocked the hole before and then dug it open again. This digging ability is not weak..."

  He was afraid that his thinking would be restricted, so he took this thing as an amphibious thing from the first impression.

   It may also be a terrestrial life, and it can only swim.

   You can’t just rely on aquatic creatures. It’s a mistake to do it for a long time, or it may be completely different.

  For example, a weasel can swim.

   As far as badgers are concerned, I have never heard of them being able to swim, but there are not only pig badgers in the mountains, there may be other small badgers as well.

   "Look how rich and honorable you are, I went down with the baby to talk to Lord Turtle."

   "That's right, this baby is more than a monkey."

   "..."

At this moment, Chen Ling was awakened by the voices of the villagers on the shore. Seeing Suantou and other old turtles watching him quietly not far away, as if waiting for instructions, he shook his head slightly at Suantou, and then rushed to the villagers on the shore Smiling, holding Ruirui and walking up.

   "Ah~ah~"

Seeing him walking up, Ruirui scratched his little hand and groaned, unwilling to leave. This was the first time he saw such a big thing in the water. He didn't know what it was. He just thought it was curious and fun. I have been staring at the garlic and they are watching, and I want to watch it for a while.

   "Be obedient, there are many people now, Dad will take you to see it tonight."

Chen Ling kissed his son's tender face, and returned to the dam to hand him over to Wang Susu, thinking that there was a water monster the year before last, Uncle Nianwai and the others who were close to the reservoir said that it had blue-faced fangs and armor, and it ate ducks one by one. , this description does not match the huge strange fish I found.

  Contact the earth cave on the shore, I'm afraid there really is a second water monster.

   Then come and have a look these few nights and explore carefully.

  The scene of thousands of villagers kowtowing on the dam is quite spectacular.

   It's a pity that Garlic and the others didn't stay for long this time, and they quickly moved away from the shore and disappeared into the vast water waves.

   After the big boss left, everyone was still discussing.

  Especially the three of Yu Qi'an were very excited, they were all in high spirits, holding their arms and discussing non-stop.

   "Old Ma, you often tinker with old things. Tell me, have you ever produced something like this before?"

"It must have happened, so there is no need to ask? Among other things, the Yellow River has a giant turtle. I have heard people say it, and it sounds like the story in Journey to the West. People say that the giant turtle will make waves and attack it. Turn over the passing boats, so when there are boats passing by, they all dare not speak loudly when they hear unusual movements in the water, for fear of disturbing the giant turtles at the bottom of the river."

Ma Wei gestured with his hands, then glanced at the direction of the reservoir, and said: "But Fugui and the others in the reservoir, this is the first time I have seen such a big turtle in real life. I used to read books, or just read books. I've heard people say that the leading giant turtle is so big, its back is black and thick, like a big iron stone, it looks like an old turtle, and it can't get to this shape in hundreds of years."

  Speaking, Ma Wei looked at Zhou Weijun: "Old Zhou, tell me, do you dare to use this thing to make a movie?"

   "No no no, I dare not."

  Zhou Weijun shook his head like a rattle: "I don't even do shows. The big turtle in this reservoir is as big as a monster. In a few years, he might really be a turtle prince."

   This remark caused everyone to laugh: "Come on, you old feudalist, you are superstitious to the point of confusion. You are also a director, and the villagers in Fugui Village will laugh at you after hearing this."

"Oh, don't tell me, we really have to worship the gods in filming. For example, when you film Journey to the West and the Three Kingdoms, in addition to the opening ceremony, you have to burn some paper and burn incense sticks for them. It's like worshiping Guan Gong before singing and acting in an opera..."

   Zhou Weijun said with a serious face.

In the middle of his speech, when he saw a person walking towards them, his expression changed. He quickly lowered his voice, turned to Chen Ling and said, "Here, look, Fugui, that second-hand trafficker is here. If you have anything to do, don't talk to him for a while." To be honest, this old boy has a lot of eyes at first glance."

   Chen Ling saw that it was Tian Hongli walking over.

  Tian Hongli came here not for anything else, but to order the next batch of ornamental fish.

   Not only did it belong to Chen Ling's family, but he also planned to take care of everything in the village.

   It was Suantou and the old turtles who shocked him a lot.

  He suspects that such a large giant turtle can be raised here because of the special water environment.

  Just now, listening to the conversation of the villagers, he also heard that there was a giant turtle fighting monsters last year. It seems that there are water monsters in this reservoir.

   Immediately, he was in no mood to think about the potion from Chen Ling's family anymore.

   On the contrary, they feel that the people in their village are guarding an undeveloped treasure land.

   There are such things as giant turtles and water monsters.

  The fish raised here must be incredible.

   Not to mention, science and popular science were not developed at this time, and there were very few programs like this on TV stations.

   At this time and even a few years after the millennium, there was even Qigong on TV.

  So people don't think of water monsters as some big fish that have lived for a long time. Many times, the first thought is only about gods and monsters.

  Plus the fish here is really good.

  The fish fry raised by the villagers alone are quite enough.

  Tian Hongli thought about it, but with the fish's appearance, he was not at a loss.

  Simply take all the next batch of ornamental fish from them here, and when the time comes, use the gimmick of the giant turtle to sell it, and publish it in the newspaper again to try to sell it.

  Aquarium fish raised in places where giant turtles and water monsters have been found.

   Not only is it beautiful, but it can also bring some blessings when you buy it back and keep it.

  Tian Hongli has already thought about it. If this ornamental fish can sell well, it will not only be an ornamental fish, but he will also have to take out the aquatic products here.

   At that time, it is said that eating can live longer.

  The more Tian Hongli thought about it, the more excited he became, and his ambition was instantly ignited.

   "The next batch will be sold to you. I have no problem here. You can talk to other villagers yourself."

   Chen Ling learned that he wanted to collect fish, but he didn't say anything else. Anyway, whoever sells his own fish is not for sale.

   "No, Boss Chen, I have something to clarify with you. I can't collect this fish myself. You still have to send someone to deliver it. But I can pay the deposit first, and I can also pay for the shipping fee."

  Tian Hongli had his own agenda, he was afraid that he would send a car to collect it, and if Chen Ling didn't add the medicine, the survival rate would not be guaranteed, so he said so.

   "Okay, then let Bo Ming give it to you."

  Chen Ling didn't say anything else, just pouted his chin at the little sheep, and stopped by Zhou Weijun, Yu Qi'an and others to Wang Jusheng's house.

  His posture made Zhou Weijun and Ma Wei laugh at him for doing business too casually, just like a joke.

  Yu Qi'an was full of envy along the way, and his life was too cool.
