It's common knowledge that turtles can swim.

However, it is not common sense that not all tortoises can swim, and the name tortoise is known as a fact that they are not good at water, and most tortoises are landlubbers.

Leopard tortoises are different, they can store some air in their lungs, so that after entering the water, they will float on the surface of the water and drift with the current, occasionally some old tortoises touch the doorway to swim, and they will use their limbs to pull twice when drifting, and the effect is often good.

The river meanders for dozens of kilometers and eventually flows into other rivers into the wetlands, so if the leopard tortoises drift down the river, they will eventually run to heaven.

He quickly fished up the turtles that had entered the water, and then quickly went back to find a gauze net to intercept in the river, but he could not let them leave his territory.

It's all paid for!

Spend money to buy it!

As he expected, he found that the turtles had grown in size, as he had expected, healthy leopard turtles had good appetites and large appetites, and the grass by the river had abundant buds and leaves, so they must have grown very quickly.

However, the grass leaves lack calcium, and tortoises mainly grow carapaces, and calcium is very important.

This is not good, he has to give calcium to the little turtles.

Dogs and cats can be fed calcium tablets to supplement calcium, because their demand is not large and easy to control, calcium tablets have no effect on tortoises, one is that they need a lot of calcium during the whole stage of growth, and the other is that Yang Shubao raises many turtles, and he can't feed calcium tablets one by one.

So he pondered, this has to get some stones by the river, any limestone, calcite, dolomite, marble, leopard turtles will take the initiative to gnaw stones.

It is not difficult to find stones, especially since there are mountains further southwest of his territory, which are the tentacles of the Longshan Mountain Range.

The Longshan Mountains, also known as the Drakens, are famous mountains in Africa, which start from the vicinity of the Tropic of Cancer in eastern South Africa and extend to the southeast of the Eastern Cape, with a slight arc and a stretch of about 1,200 kilometers, which is very spectacular.

The terrain on Yang Shubao's side is dominated by grasslands and desert grasslands, and the undulating mountains are often very small, they can only be called hills, and strictly speaking, they are not part of the Longshan Mountains.

But a hill is also a mountain, and if there are stones, it will do.

After hanging up the gauze net, Yang Shubao went to find Nicole, and he asked, "Hey, beauty, where did you buy the iron gauze here?"

Nicole nodded, "You do need some protective gear, I heard about you, the Iron Beast guys are eyeing you, right?"

Yang Shubao wondered: "How do you know?"

"Guess?"

"Richard's big mouth told you?"

"Guessed wrong. ”

Yang Shubao was even more puzzled: "To my surprise, it wasn't Richard's message?"

Nicole couldn't help but laugh: "It's really from Richard, but I know it from Ariel, he told Ariel, and Ariel told me." ”

Ariel is the proprietress of the town's supermarket, and she is also an eight-witch.

Seeing Yang Shubao's angry expression, Nicole turned her head and pointed to the refrigerator and shouted, "Joaquin, go get a bottle of iced tea." ”

The big golden retriever, who was lying on the ground playing with the ball, immediately got up, wagged its tail to bite the handle of the refrigerator door to pull it away, and then ran back with a packet of yogurt in its mouth.

Yang Shubao picked it on his toes: "Why did you become stupid? I want iced tea, tea, not yogurt!"

Joaquin cracked his mouth silly and continued to wag his tail.

Nicole doted on it and smiled: "It's not stupid, it wants to drink yogurt." ”

As she opened the milk pack, the big golden retriever jumped up excitedly.

"Let's go get the iced tea first, it's this kind of tea. Nicole showed it the plastic bottle in front of her, "Go get it for me, and then you can drink yogurt." ”

She took the opportunity to hand the bottle to Yang Shubao: "This is Nicole's brand iced tea, the bottle I bought myself and brewed the tea myself, and the taste is not bad." ”

Yang Shubao praised: "You are really ingenious. ”

Nicole was so fond of listening to good words that her eyes were gone, and the old man who was pruning the branches next to her shook her head.

This time, the big golden retriever came to pinpoint it, and it took out a bottle of iced tea from the refrigerator.

Yang Shubao was surprised: "It's smarter than I know." ”

He was wary and had to go back and tell John that he couldn't make the animals too smart, that the chickens were afraid of being famous, and that the pigs were afraid of being strong.

Nicole didn't think much of it, she poured the yogurt into the big golden retriever's rice bowl and said, "Of course it's smart, I posted a video of it on FB, and many people came to like it." But there are smarter ones, there is a border herd in Russia who can do arithmetic, and there is a golden retriever in Brazil who can draw, and of course Joaquín is the most attractive one. ”

As soon as Yang Shubao heard this, he was relieved, this golden retriever seemed to be not too smart.

Nicole helped him contact the gauze, and Yang Shubao chose polyethyl material, the iron gauze is not waterproof, and the polyethyl mesh is not as strong as the iron gauze, but it is better than waterproof.

Yang Shubao asked again: "If I want to go to the southwest mountain, is there a small road nearby? ”

Nicole took his hand and said, "Follow me, I'll tell you." ”

The soft, warm little hand suddenly held his big hand, and Yang Shubao's heart beat faster.

Rough man, understandable.

The old knight's face became unsightly, and the scissors were aimed at Lao Yang.

Nicole pulled him out and let go of her hand to the southwest: "You can see that there is a junction there after a while, follow this intersection to the west to reach the town of Nongoma, and then you drive straight south to the foot of a mountain, do you want to climb the mountain?"

Yang Shubao's attention had already shifted, he looked at the girl's hand and said casually: "Oh, no, I want to get some stones, granite, limestone and the like." ”

Nicole turned her back and said, "You need some rocks and decide to look for them in the mountains? ”

"I need calcium-rich stones, you may not know, I have some leopard tortoises on my territory, and they need calcium supplements," Yang said. ”

"Then you should need Odova. Nicole nodded earnestly.

"Odova?"

Nicole nodded again and confirmed, "Yes, Odawa, Kenyans like to call them that, and many of their women there like to eat Odua." This soft stone should not enter the human stomach, but it is really rich in calcium, and it should be very suitable for calcium supplementation for baby turtles. ”

Yang Shubao suddenly became interested: "Where do I have to find or buy this?"

"You're lucky, there's this stone in the basin where the Tail River enters Lake St. Lucia, but it shouldn't be too much, and Odowa can be used as a commodity, and people used to mine it here and send it to Kenya for sale," Nicole said. ”

After receiving these answers, Yang Shubao was grateful, and he smiled dryly: "I still have a question, where is the interface from the Tail River to Lake St. Lucia?"

Nicole said, "You have to go south first, turn southeast at the second junction of the town, and then pay attention to the roadside woods, there is a path next to the third forest...... It's a bit unclear, so I'll let Mr. Chivalry take you. ”

The old man's voice sounded from inside the house: "No, I'm not free. ”

Nicole shrugged and said, "Well, that's the only way I'll take you." ”

The old man immediately changed his words: "I have free time this weekend, and I will take you there on the weekend." ”
