Chapter 9: The Legend of the Turtle

The two of them took their things, Wang Buping carried the turtle and walked down the mountain, chatting about the legend of the mountain turtle along the way, and walked home after a while.

Seeing that grandpa and grandma were all under the tree, Wang Buping hurriedly walked over and put the back basket on the ground, "Grandpa, do you think this is the legendary mountain turtle?" ”

Grandpa heard that the turtle suddenly came to his senses, stretched out his head to look into the basket, but because the turtle was erected, so he couldn't see clearly, so he took out the turtle with his hand, and saw the mountain-like bulge on the turtle's shell, and looked at the arrangement into a mountain character, so he was sure that this was the turtle.

asked Wang Buping: "This turtle you caught from there?" ”

"Right at the reservoir, it ran out on its own, and I saw it like a mountain turtle and brought it back."

At this time, I heard my grandfather muttering, "Isn't it right? Isn't the mountain turtle in the ghost of melancholy? It hasn't come out for decades, why is it there now? And it's a little pack mountain turtle? ”

A series of questions swirled in Grandpa's mind, but Wang Buping couldn't help it, and hurriedly said, "Grandpa, is this a mountain turtle?" ”

"Yes, this is a mountain turtle, but this is a newborn mountain turtle, it's strange, why did it appear in the reservoir."

Wang Buping heard his grandfather say that it was a mountain turtle, and he was so excited in his heart! I finally saw the mountain turtle, the story of the mountain turtle accompanied my childhood, and now I finally see it, but why is it so different from the legend? I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

When I was a child, I listened to stories, and the old people told them at that time.

Legend has it that the mountain turtle was just an ordinary turtle at the beginning, and later cultivated into a great immortal, no day to parade between this heaven and earth, to help mortals, once passing by here, see people open the mountain, very tired, just use the fairy to carry the mountain on the quilt, zuihou was more than the mountain, formed a mountain character on the back of the turtle, zuihou because of the back of too many mountains was tired to death, and its body turned into countless small turtles, the stone mountain on the back, people in order to commemorate the turtle fairy, those illusion turtles called "the mountain turtle".

I heard my grandfather say: "When this mountain turtle grows up, the turtle shell is the size of a millstone, more than a meter high, and the body is bulging like a hill. ”

"Grandpa, is that legend true?"

"That's a lie, this mountain turtle was given by our ancestors. When the fleeing ancestors of our Wangjiazhai came here, because there was a cliff outside, and there was water under the cliff, they could not come, and at that time the mountain turtle was still living under the cliff, and our ancestors found the mountain turtle in the water, and the temperament of the mountain turtle was mild, and the ancestors thought of crossing the river with the mountain turtle, so that our ancestors could live here. In order to commemorate the mythical story made up by the mountain turtle, so that future generations can remember the kindness of the mountain turtle, but later because of the deterioration of the environment, the mountain turtle has migrated to the ghost and sorrowful life, and I don't know how this little mountain turtle ran out. ”

After listening to what his grandfather said about the mountain turtle, Wang Buping wanted to go to the ghost to see the sorrow and take a look, and his grandfather seemed to know Wang Buping's thoughts.

looked at Wang Buping and said, "Buping, do you want to go to the ghost to see sorrow?" Tell you that you must not go to the ghosts, that place is deep in the mountains, there are many wild beasts, even tigers, and some you have never seen, so you must not go, you know? ”

The father next to him and the mother who had just come over suddenly became nervous when they heard that their son wanted to go to the ghost and was worried.

The mother pulled her son to her side and said, "Son, the ghost can't go to that place, you know?" It turns out that some of the people who went on our expedition didn't come back, don't you know? ”

"Mom, I know, don't worry, I won't go, by the way, I also dug up 3 ginseng plants, two of which are still 100 years old, I am going to sell them, just enough to have money to repair the ropeway, and the small one will stay at home to go to the bar." Mom, this is wild honey, I found it in the mountains, you take it to make tea every day. ”

"You kid, that wild bee in the mountains, you dare to touch it, let me see if I have been stung." After speaking, he looked up on Wang Buping.

"Mom, no, I wasn't stung!" Li Yuping saw that her son was really fine, so she took the jar of honey from her son's hand, and told her not to do this kind of thing in the future.

Grandpa was holding the ginseng there, "Yes, it is indeed a century-old ginseng, alas! If it weren't for the fact that the ginseng in the mountains was dug up in order to sell it for money, our village would not have been like this, and later I learned that the price of ginseng was too late. ”

Wang Buping also knew what his grandfather said, when he was a child, people from outside came in to collect medicinal materials, and saw ginseng in the village, at that time the village did not know the value of ginseng, and people outside bought ginseng at a very cheap price, causing everyone to go up the mountain to dig ginseng for a while, and now only ginseng can be found in the mountains.

"Grandpa, should we talk to the old patriarch about this mountain turtle?"

"Yes, if you don't say it, grandpa has forgotten, quickly put the mountain turtle in the back basket, let's go to see the old patriarch, I have seen the mountain turtle, they haven't seen it yet."

The two of them took the mountain turtle and hurried to the old patriarch's house.

When I arrived at the old patriarch's house, my grandfather and the old patriarch told the old patriarch about the mountain turtle, and the old patriarch hurriedly asked Wang Buping to release the mountain turtle, and the old patriarch looked at the mountain turtle and reflexively entered the back room, and saw the old patriarch take out a wooden box, which said the genealogy of Wangjiazhai, the old patriarch opened the box, and Wang Buping saw that there was an old book inside.

The old patriarch took out the book, turned the first page and read it, and after reading it, he pointed to the mountain turtle with excitement and said: "As remembered in the genealogy, this is the mountain turtle, it seems that the ancestors were rescued by the mountain turtle." You don't know, this genealogy records that our ancestors fled with all their clansmen because they were killed by the emperor at that time, and when they fled to the edge of the cliff outside, because there was no way out, and there were officers and soldiers chasing after them, when the officers and soldiers were about to arrive, the mountain turtle appeared, and crossed the river with the clansmen, and our ancestors were saved. However, there is no genealogical record of when the turtle disappeared from the cliff in front of the mountain. ”

"Grandpa, what about myths and legends?"

"Those are the same as the legends, they were made up in order to let future generations remember the mountain turtle."

"Then what is this mountain turtle going to do?"

The old patriarch also felt that it was difficult to do when he looked at the mountain turtle, and then looked at Wang Buping, as if he had thought of something, and said: "Since you brought it back, it is related to you, so you can take it back and raise it well." It is recorded in the genealogy that it eats fish, and you just feed it some fish every day. ”

Wang Buping listened to the words of the old patriarch and thought about it, it may be a good prospect for future development, which can attract many people to come and see.

Wang Buping said goodbye to the old patriarch with his grandfather, went home for dinner, asked his father to put away the ginseng, and told him to go out in a few days to sell the ginseng and build a ropeway.

Returned to the small courtyard on the mountain, looking at the mountain turtle, Wang Buping didn't know where to put it, think about it or receive it in the space, enter the space and see the wisdom fruit, it is better to pick one for the mountain turtle to eat, think of it, Wang Buping went to the shining tree to pick one, and saw that there were only 6 fruits on the tree, Wang Buping didn't know when he could upgrade the space.

He took the fruit and handed it to the turtle, and when he saw that the turtle seemed to know that the fruit was a good thing, he ate the fruit at once, and he didn't move.

Wang Buping knew that he was evolving, and he no longer paid attention to it, looking at the vegetables in the space, there was still a large open space in the space, Wang Buping didn't grow anything, he was too busy these days, so he could only take some time to take care of those reclamation haode, but he received a lot of vegetables, fortunately, the space can quickly decompose the straw, otherwise Wang Buping didn't know what to do with the straw.

After getting the space in the space, Wang Buping took out the newly bought computer, forgot about it for the past few days, turned on the computer, and boarded the wireless.

Wang Buping is ready to log on to QQ, to see if there is anyone, just boarded, I saw QQ flashing, it turned out that a few good buddies asked Wang Buping why he didn't log on QQ, call his mobile phone number and was told to cancel it, Wang Buping hurriedly told everyone that he is now back in his hometown, the mobile phone number has changed, and he forgot to send a text message to everyone, chatted with a few good buddies, and invited them to his hometown to play, they all know that Wang Buping's hometown is in an unpolluted mountain, so he said that he was going to come over to play on vacation, Zuihou Wang Buping also posted about his number change in the group.

After retiring from QQ, Wang Buping thought that his future development would be to green vegetables and tourism, so he took out his camera and prepared to post the photos taken today on a relatively famous travel network, and registered a name called "I am in my hometown".

I opened a post.,Spread all the beautiful scenery I photographed.,I turned off the computer and prepared to sleep.,I'm tired to death today.。

But he didn't know the post he sent, the bar owner is a travel friend, every day to see if there is any fun in the sticker, when I saw Wang Buping's post, I think the scenery is good, I looked down, when I saw the mountain turtle, I was immediately excited, I haven't seen such a turtle, immediately put the sticker on the top, there are a lot of familiar with the bar owner, look at the bar master top of the sticker, all ask the bar master what is fun, the bar master let them go in and see for themselves.

One by one to see the sticker, when I saw the magical mountain turtle, I asked the lord where this place is, to see the magical turtle, anyway, the scenery there is not bad, by the way.

Mr. Wang didn't know that his post had gone viral, or that the photo of the turtle on his post had been circulated to each other a few days later, and had caught the attention of some biologists.

By the time he found out, there were already a group of travelers looking for him, which was also the first batch of tourists that Wang Buping brought to Wangjiazhai, and it was this group of tourists who brought hope to Wangjiazhai.

Wang Buping was thinking about going to his grandfather tomorrow to talk about raising and breeding.
