Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Rare and Precious Blue Cloud Turtle

"Little thief, where to run!" Yun Yi shouted and pounced, but the black shadow was very flexible, and suddenly got under the cucumber shelf, and fled straight along the cucumber shelf to the depths of the vegetable field, so that Yun Yi was blocked by the cucumber shelf for a while.

"What the hell, such a high IQ!" Yun Yi looked at the black shadow crawling quickly under the cucumber shelf, and quickly leaned down and chased under the cucumber shelf.

The black shadow crawled very strangely, not as fast as a rabbit or a badger, but rather slower, if it weren't for Yun Yi's inability to use it under the cucumber shelf, it was estimated that he would have caught it immediately.

Running around with the black shadow under the cucumber shelf, slowly crawling into the ground, Yun Yi gradually narrowed the distance between him and the black shadow.

"Hmph, I'll see where you're going!" Crawling and crawling, Yun Yi, who approached the black shadow, pounced on the black shadow with a swoop!

"Hmm! Kill me! Yun Yi, who was pressed on the black shadow, screamed in pain, and his chest was ached by the black shadow, he took out his mobile phone and took a closer look after pressing it, and couldn't help but be surprised: "How can it be a turtle!" ”

Under the bright moonlight, the thing Yun Yi was holding in his hand was indeed a turtle with a hard shell, but the appearance of this turtle was different from that of a sea turtle, but like a mountain turtle.

The diameter of the shell of this mountain turtle is about 30 centimeters, and the weight is about 10 catties; Holding the turtle, you can clearly see the turtle patterns on its carapace in the moonlight, which are arranged symmetrically on the turtle's back.

The shell of this mountain tortoise is thick and heavy, and the color is grayish-brown like a mountain stone, and the round shell of the tortoise in the distance looks like a stone.

"Hmm, there are turtles in this mountain, so they should be able to sell for a lot of money, right?" While excitedly holding the mountain turtle and walking home, Yun Yi recalled the news he had seen on the Internet, the meat of the mountain turtle is not only very nutritious, but also has high medicinal value, especially the wild older mountain turtle, the price is even more expensive.

After putting the mountain turtle on the ground, covering it with a washbasin, and pressing it with a heavy object, Yun Yi went to sleep with peace of mind.

At eight o'clock in the morning the next day, after Yun Yi ate a simple breakfast, he carried the mountain turtle to the vegetable field.

In the vegetable field, the eldest girl's father was chasing the farmer's fertilizer for the vegetables with two helpers, and he greeted Yun Yi after he came over, and then noticed the mountain turtle in Yun Yi's arms, so he said in surprise: "Little brother Yun, where did you catch this mountain turtle?" ”

"When I came back last night, I passed by the vegetable field and saw it stealing cucumbers, and I took it with me!" Yunyi proudly handed the mountain turtle to the eldest girl's father, and said a little excitedly: "Big brother, this mountain turtle is valuable, right?" ”

"I haven't seen this kind of mountain turtle either, it may be our specialty green cloud turtle here, but I haven't seen it either," the big girl held the mountain turtle back and forth for a while, and still shook her head uncertainly.

"Brother Miao Xuan, you might as well take Brother Yun and this mountain turtle to Uncle Wang's house, his old man has been hunting in this mountain for decades, and he should recognize this mountain turtle species!" Li Donglai, who also didn't recognize this thing, frowned and said to the eldest girl's father.

"What, Uncle Wang can recognize this thing?" On the way to Wang Laopao's house with the mountain turtle and the eldest girl's father, Yun Yi asked curiously.

"Yes, Uncle Pao is the most famous hunter in Qingyun Mountain in this area of forty or fifty miles, when he was young, he fought tigers, leopards and black bears, and then he slowly stopped when he got old and the government's policy changed." When the eldest girl's father mentioned Wang Laopao, a look of respect appeared on his face, a person as big as him was like this for things decades ago, which shows Wang Laopao's fame back then.

Wang Laopao's home is behind the most lull in Qingyun Mountain Village, next to the forest on the mountain; The courtyard is not built with ordinary mountain people with stones or fences, but is lined up with logs with thick bowls, and the courtyard gate is also a wooden door made of logs, so that the whole yard has a rough style.

"Uncle Pao, are you at home?" The eldest girl's father slapped the log courtyard door a few times, and then pushed open the courtyard door and walked in.

"Wow, such a big yellow dog!" Yun Yi also walked in with the mountain turtle in her arms, but she suddenly felt that something was wrong when she walked forward, and she was startled when she turned around: a big yellow dog was following his ass unhurriedly!

"It's okay, big brother, Huang Hu is very smart, don't bite the people in our village!" The eldest girl's father gently patted Yunyi's shoulder, and then said to the big yellow dog that was one meter high: "Yellow Tiger, don't follow behind the guests, crawl on the side!" ”

The big yellow dog, which was more than a meter tall, shook its head, walked back to the nest behind the courtyard gate with a slow pace, and dozed off with half-closed eyes.

"Rhubarb used to be the best dog in the village, and my rhubarb is from it, it is very human!" The father of a big girl who doesn't like to talk looked at the yellow tiger lying lazily in the kennel, and said with a look of appreciation on his face.

"Ha, bolt, little brother, how did you think of my little broken yard today!" Wang Laocano, who heard the voice, walked out of the kitchen on the roof of the mud and straw, shook the blood on his hand and looked at Yun Yi and the eldest girl's father with a smile.

"Uncle Pao, last night Brother Yun caught a mountain turtle in the vegetable field, I can't recognize the species, it's not until you have been in the mountains for most of your life, you have seen a lot, and I specially asked you to take a look!" The eldest girl's father looked at Wang Lao Pao respectfully, and handed the mountain turtle held by Yun Yi to Wang Lao Pao with both hands.

"Hmm... This is the blue cloud turtle! Wang Lao Pao casually took the mountain turtle handed over, looked at it casually, but exclaimed in surprise, and hurriedly looked at the mountain turtle in his hand a few times, before looking at Yun Yi excitedly and said: "Little brother, where did you catch this green cloud turtle in the vegetable field?" ”

"Yes, it ate cucumbers in the field last night..."Seeing that Wang Lao Pao was so excited, Yun Yi was surprised and explained in detail what happened last night.

"Little brother, you're really... What a blessing! Wang Laopao sighed, patted the shell of the Qingyun Turtle in his hand with emotion, and looked at Yun Yidao.

"Uncle Pao, isn't this Qingyun Turtle very precious?" Looking at Wang Laopao's emotional look, Yun Yi said tentatively.

"It's really precious, I heard before that this green cloud turtle is a tribute to the emperor!" After hearing that Wang Lao Pao confirmed that it was a Qingyun Turtle, the eldest girl's father on the side looked at Yun Yi with a puzzled face, and said with some excitement: "I heard that when there was an emperor, if you catch a Qingyun Turtle, you can be given a petty official by the emperor, do you say that it is not precious?" ”

"Yes, the bolt is right!" Wang Lao Pao nodded, put the Qingyun Turtle on the ground, took off the long tobacco pouch and pot from his waist, filled it with tobacco leaves, took a deep breath, looked at the ground and still shrunk into it and refused to come out as a turtle and head, and said: "

This Qingyun turtle is a specialty of our Qingyun Mountain, and there is no other place except Qingyun Mountain; Legend has it that during the Ming Dynasty, there was an emperor who did not lift the problem, once when he traveled to our Qingyun Mountain, a local prefect of Qingyun Mountain prepared the Qingyun Turtle soup for the emperor, and the emperor did not lift the problem that night, it is said that even the three daughters did not fall.

Later, when the emperor returned to the palace, he brought a lot of Qingyun turtles back to the palace, and designated the Qingyun turtle as the queen, and no one was allowed to hunt and kill them without authorization.

Speaking of our Chinese ground, there are policies and countermeasures, and those officials and wealthy businessmen all use high prices to catch green cloud turtles here, and there are not many young green cloud turtles that are about to become extinct in the Ming Dynasty.

Later, the Ming Dynasty was over, and when the Qing Dynasty was established, this Qingyun turtle was also rare to see for a few years, so after the emperor of the Qing Dynasty heard about the Qingyun turtle, he made a holy decree, saying that whoever caught a Qingyun turtle would be rewarded with a nine-grade petty official; Therefore, this green cloud turtle also has a name called the Nine Rank Turtle..."

Wang Lao Pao smoked the pot with long eye bags, squinted at the Qingyun Turtle on the ground and still didn't dare to come out, and slowly told the story about the Qingyun Turtle he heard when he was a child.

"That's... This blue cloud turtle is so rare, have you ever seen it? The eldest girl's father looked at the gray green cloud turtle on the ground, and suddenly asked suspiciously.
