【Chapter 029】 Rare species

When he was a child, Liu Rui's parents were busy with farm work at home all day long, so they put Liu Rui in the Zhang family compound for his grandparents to take care of. In the Zhang family compound, under the huge camphor tree and in the deep courtyard, there are Liu Rui's beautiful and sweet childhood memories.

"Grandma, are you feeding the chickens? Where's my grandfather? As soon as he entered the courtyard gate, Liu Rui shouted at his grandmother.

Liu Rui's grandmother is seventy this year, and she gave birth to Liu Rui's uncle Zhang Zhenguang at the age of fifteen, which is almost unimaginable now. Her silver hair was neatly cleaned up, and her hands and feet were also very nimble, but she was a little hard of hearing, so Liu Rui had to raise her voice.

"Rui'er is here?" Seeing Liu Rui pushing the cart in, her grandmother grinned, full of neat teeth.

"Grandma, this is the dish I picked for you!" Liu Rui put the basket on the stone table in the courtyard and asked, "Did my grandfather go out to talk to others about the ancients again?" ”

"What's the old man reading in there? Pretend to be a college student! Grandma pointed to the hall and said with a smile.

"Old woman, you are talking bad about me behind your back again!" At this moment, a tall figure suddenly appeared at the door of the hall, holding a book and reading glasses.

"It's not rare to talk about you, I'll go get Rui'er something to eat!" The older my grandmother and grandfather were, the more like children they became, and they liked to talk about each other all day long.

Looking at his grandmother's back, Liu Rui had a smile on his face.

"How do you have time to come to me today?" Grandpa put down the book in his hand, looked at Liu Rui's darkened face, and said, "Listen to your uncle, what kind of tomatoes do you want to plant?" Is there a lot of commotion? ”

"Hehe, it's all a small fight, and I'll grow it later and bring it to your old man to taste." It seems that because of the intergenerational relatives, Liu Rui and his grandfather get along very casually, and he and his uncle seem a little depressed.

Zhang Huaizhong used to look forward to Liu Rui being admitted to university, but after Liu Jiahong had a car accident, Liu Rui insisted on going home to farm, and no one listened to him. For this matter, there was a dispute between the grandfather and grandson for the first time, and in the end, everyone still did not resist Liu Rui's bullish temper and went with him.

"Tell me, what's going on today?" Zhang Huaizhong also ignored Liu Rui's hippie smile and asked directly.

"Grandpa, do you recognize this?" Liu Rui stopped being verbose, took out the big white egg from his pocket and put it on the table.

"How old are you to dig out the bird's nest?" Zhang Huaizhong thought that Liu Rui got the eggs he didn't know from somewhere, and he didn't care.

However, when he saw the big egg on the table, his eyes were immediately drawn to it.

After living in Xiaojing Lake all his life, Zhang Huaizhong has seen countless bird eggs and turtle eggs, and he has already developed a pair of sharp eyes. Even if it was an egg that everyone else looked exactly the same, he could tell the subtle differences.

"This is?!" Zhang Huaizhong's hand trembled a little, grabbed the big egg, and looked at it carefully.

This egg was a little bigger than a normal duck egg, but it was certainly not a goose egg, because his shell was not bluish, but white as jade, without any blemish.

"Dig up from the reedy sand?" Holding back the excitement in his heart, Zhang Huaizhong asked Liu Rui.

"That's right, grandpa is amazing!" As soon as he heard his grandfather's words, Liu Rui knew that he knew the origin of these eggs, and said: "It's bigger than the old turtle egg, my father and I haven't seen it, I don't recognize it." ”

"I didn't expect that there is a 'leper turtle' in Xiaojing Lake!" Zhang Huaizhong was obviously a little excited, his face turned red, and his voice became louder.

"Grandpa, what is 'Leper Turtle'" Liu Rui didn't understand a little, why did Grandpa become so excited when he saw this big egg?

"Have you watched "Journey to the West" before, do you remember the old turtle that crossed the river with Tang Sanzang's master and apprentice in the Tongtian River? That's the 'Leper Turtle'! Zhang Huaizhong took a deep breath and regained his calm mood slightly.

The Zhang family has been inherited for more than 100 years and has a large collection of books, and Zhang Huaizhong has been taught by Mr. Xixi since he was a child, and he has considerable attainments in ancient literature. When Liu Rui was young, he followed Zhang Huaizhong and began to familiarize himself with "The Three Character Classic" and "Thousand Character Text", and also began to come into contact with ancient Chinese readings such as "Journey to the West".

At this time, Zhang Huaizhong mentioned it, and Liu Rui suddenly remembered that there is indeed such a huge old turtle in "Journey to the West", but why is the grandfather so excited?

"Isn't it just an old turtle? There are a lot of things in the small mirror lake, can this 'leper turtle' grow as huge as a novel? Liu Rui was a little unimpressed.

"What do you kid know?" Zhang Huaizhong knocked on Liu Rui's head and said: "The dorsal armor of the 'Leper Head Turtle' can grow to more than one meter at most, which is not comparable to the old turtle!" I haven't seen a trace of the 'leper turtle' in Xiaojing Lake for more than 30 years, and I thought they were extinct. ”

"More than a meter?" Liu Rui was suddenly taken aback by the number that Zhang Huaizhong said, it was really a behemoth. Liu Rui thought in his heart, if such a big 'leper turtle' was caught, it would definitely cause a sensation, no wonder the guild was so excited.

"How many eggs were dug up there?" Zhang Huaizhong's mood finally regained his composure and began to ask Liu Rui some details.

"This egg was dug up by our little black dog in the reeds, but I couldn't find the sand pile where the old turtle laid its eggs." couldn't expose the existence of Shennong's space, Liu Rui had no choice but to tell a small lie.

"If you don't find it, forget it." When Zhang Huaizhong heard this, he was a little relieved, waved his hand and said, "Take this egg back and put it on the sand pile by the pond, and see if you can hatch a little 'leper turtle'?" ”

Coming out of the Zhang family compound, Liu Rui kept muttering in his heart, what is this 'leper turtle' that makes the old man so excited?

I remember when I was a child, the old man also caught a baby fish, and he feasted at home, and there was nothing out of the ordinary, which was a national second-class protected animal.

Could it be that this 'leper turtle' is even rarer than the baby fish?

Although Liu Rui has the heart to find out what kind of rare species the 'leper turtle' is, he has no choice but to have a library in the countryside of 2000 to check materials, let alone a convenient computer network.

Speaking of computers, Liu Rui has only touched the computer a few times in high school microcomputer class, and he can't recognize the keyboard, let alone do more work. Now it costs tens of thousands to assemble a computer, and the cost of dial-up Internet access is also very high, so Liu Rui has not yet tried the Internet and Yi Meier, which are incomparably magical in the newspaper.

Thinking of his grandfather's attitude, Liu Rui didn't want to publicize the fact that Xiaojinghu seemed to have found a 'leper turtle', so he muttered for a while and made a decision.

Thirteen large eggs suspected of being 'leper turtles' were neatly buried by him in the sand pile by the space pond, and Liu Rui hoped that these turtle eggs could hatch smoothly and give one more species in the space.

ps: It seems that there are fewer tickets in the past two days, and I also ask the villagers for firepower assistance!
