066 Old turtle
So beautiful......
If this is made into a water world club with adventure climbing, it will definitely attract a large number of customers.
Ye Xue sighed.
"Mr. Gu, you might as well turn the small farm outside into a farmhouse, combined with this underground hot spring, the income is definitely quite large. ”
"Farm stay?"
Gu Ren smiled and didn't speak. The income of an ordinary farmhouse for a year is not as high as the income of selling a scorpion once.
"Uh, I almost forgot about it, Mr. Gu is a rich man and does high-end business. ”
Ye Xue stuck out her tongue.
"Hehe, it's almost time to observe, it's time to go out. ”
Gu Ren was worried that an accident would happen after a long time.
"Good. We can talk about this project and develop it together with our Fairview Outdoor Club. I picked up a rock and went back to test the composition. ”
Ye Xue's body coordination, as well as the strength of her wrists and arms, are very large, and she can actually hold the rope with both hands and move upwards, worthy of an outdoor sports expert. She turned up a few times, and reached the dome, and with a swing, she grabbed a rock, and buckled some scraps with her dagger, wrapped them in paper, and put them in her coat pocket.
“OK!”
Ye Xue cleaned up towards Gu Ren, meaning that he could go up.
Gu Ren shouted to the top, and Ye Xue's rope moved up and quickly went up.
Just as Gu Ren was about to go up, he suddenly vaguely saw a black head popping out of the north corner of Xiaotan, very similar to a water snake.
He was shocked, if there was a water snake here, it meant that there was a second, a third, or even a snake nest.
They have a taboo against snakes in Huangshi County, believing that snakes are the embodiment of dragons. Whoever catches a snake and cannot be killed, let it go.
Just when Gu Ren was suspicious, a basin-sized black turtle back surfaced.
"Old turtle?"
Gu Ren recognized the creatures in the water.
"It's bigger than a basin...... It doesn't work!"
Gu Ren muttered.
There were no turtles in the ravines, and there were very few turtles. There is a small stream in the ravine, and in the summer the stream is still dry, and fish and turtles cannot survive. Occasionally, someone caught an old turtle at the exit of a ravine, but it was small, only the size of a baby's fist. Now it is really unexpected to see such a large volume of old turtles at the bottom of this Zoumaliang Beach, at least twenty or thirty catties.
You must know that generally the turtle can only reach one pound at the age of about four or five, which is more than twenty or thirty pounds of old turtle, and the age is likely to be seventy, eighty or even more than one hundred.
The turtle poked its head out, took a few breaths, and prepared to dive into the water again.
"Brother Aren, let's pull you up now?"
Lei Zi above shouted.
"Don't worry, you can find a mesh bag for potatoes, I found an old turtle under here, and I want to catch it. ”
Gu Ren shouted upward.
"Wow, there's an old turtle? Okay! I'm going to look for the bag." ”
The people above were pleasantly surprised.
"I have fishing nets in my car, so I don't have to look for a mesh bag. ”
Su Xiao's voice came from above.
"The fishing net is good, then hang the fishing net for me. ”
Gu Ren was also worried that the gauze bag was not good for catching the old turtle, and now that Su Xiao said that there were fishing nets, wouldn't that be right.
Soon, the fishing net was hung down, Gu Ren ripped open the fishing net, stared at the old turtle in the water, let the upper control the position, and waited for the opportunity to cast the net.
This old turtle was very cunning, and seemed to understand what Gu Ren said, and after diving into the water, it lurked in the corner, not moving, looking like a stone from a distance.
After waiting for a long time, the old turtle still didn't move, as if it was asleep.
A smile appeared at the corner of Gu Ren's mouth, do you really think I can't do anything about you? I just don't want to get my clothes wet. Since you don't want to be caught by me, I'll go into the water to catch you, and by the way, grab a bucket of loaches to appetize.
When Gu Ren let the rope be placed close to the water, he first took off his pants and jacket and tied it to the rope, then carefully untied the rope and fell into the pool with a pop.
Hearing the sound of water above, he thought that something had happened to Gu Ren, and let out an exclamation. Gu Ren got out of the water and told them that he had jumped in. The people above breathed a sigh of relief.
The water temperature in the pool is not very high, nor is it very low, about 35 degrees, which is very close to the normal body temperature of a person.
Gu Ren swam towards the old turtle with a fishing net, and the loach in the water felt the foreign object pouring in, and swished in all directions.
The old turtle also sensed the movement and moved its position silently.
"You can't escape!"
Gu Ren slowly pulled the fishing net open, pretending to go east, but in fact the fishing net was thrown to the west. Aiming at the old turtle, when it is three or four meters away, it suddenly exerts force. Rush up with a whoosh.
The old turtle in the water also fled westward with a swish.
With a bang, the old turtle was not crooked or biased, and it just got into the fishing net.
"Hahaha, you've been fooled!"
Gu Ren laughed, pulled the fishing net, and looked at the struggling old turtles inside, as well as dozens or hundreds of live loaches.
"Drop another rope down!"
Gu Ren shouted at it, and a rope was thrown down. He tied the net to the rope on which he hung his clothes, and then tied himself with another root.
Soon, a man, a turtle and a net of loaches were pulled up.
On the wide flat ground, the old turtle was thrown on the ground, shrunk its head and feet, and did not move and pretended to be dead. Dozens or hundreds of loaches were packed into buckets and taken to the old house, and everyone must have eaten them for dinner.
"It's huge!"
Ye Xue sighed, she grew so big, it was the first time she had seen such a big old turtle.
"Cher, did you say it was male or female?"
Su Xiao reached out to grab the old turtle's tail.
"Don't move!"
Gu Ren hurriedly reminded.
"Turtles are very aggressive amphibians, seemingly harmless to humans and animals, and they can move their mouths, but they are ferocious. The bite force of its mouth is much greater than that of a tortoise, and even its own kind will be killed after a certain amount of hunger. This old turtle is so big, it can really hurt people. ”
"Well, what Mr. Gu said is very correct, this turtle is indeed very aggressive, Xiaoxiao, don't touch it. ”
Ye Xue also knows a lot about turtles.
"This turtle has so many spots on its back, it can't be a turtle, right?"
Ye Xue looked carefully.
"What is a turtle?"
Gu Ren, Su Xiao and the surrounding crowd all looked at Ye Xue curiously.
"The turtle is also a kind of turtle, but it is very precious, and the 'water giant panda', which is more endangered than the Chinese sturgeon, is only four known to survive in the world. Two in Suzhou Zoo and two in Hoan Kiem Lake in Hanoi, Vietnam. ”
Ye Xue is very professional.
"Isn't that an internationally protected animal? Do you have to hand it in? I still wonder if Brother Ah Ren can eat a bite to replenish his body after he slaughters it. ”
Leizi said nervously.
"Probably not, the little turtle we caught here before also has spots on their backs. If all of them were turtles, there wouldn't be just four. ”
Gu Dashan said with a smile.
"In this case, it is an ordinary Chinese turtle. Mr. Gu, there are a lot of animals in our club, and I also like this amphibian reptile very much, can you sell this Chinese turtle to our club? I am willing to pay 50,000 yuan!"
Ye Xue looked at Gu Ren with a somewhat blazing gaze.
"Wow, fifty thousand!"
Leizi and others exclaimed, such a turtle sells for 50,000 yuan, which is enough for them to earn for a few years.
"Gu Ren, you sell it to me, I'll give you 100,000! ”
Su Xiao's gaze was also very hot, even if this kind of old turtle was slaughtered and sold for meat, it could sell for hundreds of thousands......
"One hundred thousand?"
Gu Dashan was moved, and the few people in Leizi were even more staring. Such an old turtle can be sold for 100,000?
