【Chapter 059】 Leper Giant Turtle

The little baby Wang Shaohui is Wang Shaozhang's cousin, who grew up with Liu Zhi, but his surname is active, he doesn't like to study, and he is now in the second year of junior high school in Qingyun Town.

"What monsters can there be in the lake? All nonsense! After listening to Wang Shaohui's words, Liu Rui was a little unimpressed.

"Really, people are watching the excitement by the lake for many days now." Wang Shaohui saw that Liu Rui didn't believe it, so he jumped to his feet in a hurry and said, "Uncle Huaguo asked me to ask you to go down and have a look."

Seeing that the little guy didn't seem to be fake, Liu Rui had no choice but to stand up and push the cart to go to the lake to have a look. If there is anything wrong with the Liu family, it is that there is still more than a mile away from the village, and every time there is something in the village, you have to ride a car down, which is very inconvenient.

"Skipped class again today?" patted Wang Shaohui's head, and Liu Rui seemed to have a smile on his face.

"I knew the words at school, I didn't recognize them, I always wanted to sleep." Wang Shaohui is already accustomed to such a question and answers it indifferently.

The little one's parents went to Guangdong to work, leaving him and his sister to stay at home with their elderly grandparents. He was originally naughty and undisciplined, becoming more and more naughty and mischievous, and it was common for him to skip school and go home.

Wang Shaohui is actually the epitome of many left-behind children, without their parents by their side, grandparents, grandparents and grandparents can't discipline these half-grown children at all, and they have all become wild children. Fortunately, Qingyun Town is located in a remote area, and there are not many miscellaneous things in the society, and the children skip school at most to go up to the trees to dig out birds and go down to the river to fish, but they will not make any trouble, which is also a great luck in misfortune.

"Now I'm a little man, I have to take care of my grandparents and sister." Liu Rui knows that such a half-grown kid has a rebellious mentality if you preach too much, so it is better to encourage him.

"I know!" The little baby just likes to listen to this, and her small breasts are tall.

As soon as Liu Rui stepped on the bicycle, the little baby immediately jumped into the back seat with a strange scream, and the two of them rushed down the yard along the machine farming road, and ran towards Xiaojing Lake at a gallop.

From a distance, Liu Rui saw that many villagers had gathered on the dock by the lake, and everyone was pointing at the middle of the lake, and they didn't know what strange things appeared in the lake? On the surface of the lake, several eagle boats are scattered among them, constantly moving, as if chasing something?

Today, there was a poaching incident in Shangliang Village, and then some villagers found a huge unknown creature in Xiaojing Lake, a series of things stimulated the nerves of the villagers, and everyone put down what they were doing and stood by the lake to watch the excitement.

"Uncle Guohua, which one is this?" Finding Wang Huaguo in the crowd, Liu Rui said with some curiosity.

"When Zhao Laosan cast the net just now, it seemed that he had caught a big guy." Wang Huaguo pointed to the buoys looming on the lake and said: "He tried his best to pull it but couldn't pull it, so the big guy dragged the fishing nets away." ”

Zhao Lao is not much different from Wang Huaguo in the third year, he is a well-known old fisherman in ten miles and eight towns, but he didn't expect him to lose his hand.

"Could it be a big black fish?" Liu Rui looked at the moving buoys on the lake and asked with some confusion.

To say that in Xiaojing Lake, there was also a large black fish weighing dozens of catties, which caused a sensation after being caught by the villagers.

"Probably not, now that the weather is gradually getting cooler, the black fish will hide in the depths of the water at this time, and they will not easily surface the water." Wang Huaguo shook his head.

The blackfish is a ferocious carnivorous fish, and they generally live in deep waters with relatively low water temperatures, and only go to shallow water when the fry hatch in July and August.

"And what do you think it will be?"

"I can't say! There are too many strange creatures in the lake, but they have been rare in recent years. Wang Huaguo said with some hesitation: "I hope it's not that thing." ”

Just as the two were talking, several small boats on the lake had already approached the location of the buoy, and Zhao Laosan, who was closest to him, grabbed the rope on the side of the buoy and pulled it up.

"It's still there!" Feeling that his hand was sinking, Zhao Laosan knew that the guy who had pulled the fishing net away just now had not broken free.

As soon as I heard Zhao Laosan's words, the crowd on the shore was nervous, everyone was a little scratchy, and they all wanted to squeeze to the shore, wanting to see what kind of big guy it was for the first time?

After confirming that the big guy was still in the fishing net, the villager of the boat next to him suddenly threw it, and the fishing net in his hand drew an arc, forming an arc, accurately covering the still churning waters.

"It doesn't seem to be a fish, otherwise it would have broken free for so long." Wang Huaguo's face was a little dignified.

When the two nets were put together, the bottom of the water churned even harder, and even the people on the shore could see it. The villagers on the two boats had no way to go into the water to catch the big guy in the nets, so they could only walk slowly side by side towards the shore, trying to pull the nets to the shallow water before processing.

As if sensing that his situation was not good, the prey under the water moved even more frantically, and it was evident from the straight ropes of the two fishing nets that it had done its best. Unfortunately, its opponent was a human, and no matter how much it struggled, it could not stop the boat from slowly approaching the shore.

As the boat got closer to the shore, the crowd became more and more intense, some said it was a big fish, some said it was a water monkey, and some young people were talking about it as a water monster with great interest.

After the two small boats docked, Zhao Laosan commanded his sons and brothers to pull the fishing nets, pull the prey to the shallow water, and finally get it to the shore.

Originally, Liu Rui thought that the big guy in the fishing net would have such a violent struggle, but maybe he ran out of strength, maybe he accepted his fate, this big guy let people carry him to the shore, and things went a little unexpectedly.

In the messy fishing nets, there was a behemoth lying on his stomach, Liu Rui and Wang Huaguo just glanced at it, and shouted in unison: "Leper turtle!" ”

The two looked at each other, and said at the same time: "You also know that this is a leper turtle?" ”

The two were silent for three seconds before laughing together.

"Otherwise, why do I think we are in love?" Wang Huaguo patted Liu Rui on the shoulder and said, "It was the old man who told you that there is a 'leper turtle' in Xiaojing Lake, right?" ”

Zhang Huaizhong is the best hunter and fisherman in the entire Qingyun, and he knows what kind of rare species there used to be in Xiaojing Lake. As his eldest grandson, it is normal for Liu Rui to know some secret information from the old man.

"Grandpa told me that in the information you gave me in the afternoon, there is also information about the 'leper turtle', which is a national first-class protected animal, and the number is smaller than that of the giant panda!" Liu Rui, who stopped laughing, said a little seriously: "Last time, I found their eggs in the reeds, but this time, since so many villagers have found them, we have to think about it in the long run." ”

"Less than a giant panda?" Wang Huaguo was taken aback!

The giant panda is a national treasure, Wang Huaguo knows it, but the number of 'leprous turtles' is actually less than the national treasure, so to what extent?

When Wang Huaguo was a child, he could often see the figure of the 'leper turtle' on Xiaojing Lake, but since the 60s, they seem to have disappeared from people's sight.

"There are only a few zoos in the country that have four or five 'leper turtles', and there have been no wild living individuals in China for decades, do you say it is precious?" Liu Rui could only try his best to make the matter as serious as possible to attract Wang Huaguo's attention.

"So what do we do now?" Wang Huaguo scratched his head a little, such a rare protected animal appeared in Shangliang Village, and he didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse.

"This matter has to be reported, and it's not our turn to deal with it!" Liu Rui pointed to the 'leper turtle' lying on the ground, and said: "The top priority now is to stop the villagers from stewing it in the pot first!" ”

"Stewed?" When Wang Huaguo heard this, cold sweat came out.

Today's hapless wildlife dealers and poachers are just some of the common second-class protected animals, and it is estimated that they will be sentenced for several years. If this big guy, which is less than the number of giant pandas, is stewed and eaten, let alone shot, I am afraid that the people present will not be able to escape from ten or eight years in prison.

Thinking of this, Wang Huaguo's hair exploded, and he hurriedly opened the crowd of onlookers and shouted: "It's all scattered, scattered!" Nothing to see! ”

"Old branch secretary, such a big old turtle, let's take it back and stew it, so we can make up for it!" Some activists in the crowd said with a smile when they saw Wang Huaguo squeezing into the crowd.

"I'm afraid of going to prison!" When Wang Huaguo heard such a witty remark, he said loudly: "Did you see those unlucky guys this year?" This old turtle is a national first-class protected animal, and it will lose its head if you eat it! ”

Hearing Wang Huaguo say this, the crowd was obviously a little loose, but everyone was more curious, and surrounded the open space where the 'leper turtle' was located.

"Old branch secretary, we caught it ourselves, don't we break the law?" Hearing Wang Huaguo say this, Zhao Laosan was a little anxious.

"No matter how you got it, you can't eat or sell this 'leper turtle', give it to me! I went back to the village committee to receive 200 yuan, which was regarded as compensation for the fishing nets. Wang Huaguo, who was a little anxious, didn't care about what to say to Zhao Laosan, so he gave the order directly.

Zhao Laosan, who originally wanted to fight again, saw that Wang Huaguo's face was not very good, and when he heard that there was still a compensation of two hundred yuan, he died down.

"Hurry up and get it out, and then ,......" Zhao Laosan turned around and asked Wang Huaguo: "Where is this old turtle going to move?" ”

"Where are you moving to?" Wang Huaguo was stunned for a moment.

As soon as I saw that the forelimbs of the 'leper turtle' were entwined in fishing nets, it was already bloodstained, and now was definitely not the time to release them.

That's a problem.
