Chapter 239: The Yellow River Tortoise
Yu Lina and I have lived on the edge of the Yellow River since we were children, so naturally we have both heard the legend of the Yellow River tortoise.
As you can guess from the name, since it is called a "tortoise", it must be very large. As for how big it is, there are different theories, as very few people have actually seen this river turtle.
I don't know if I've seen it with my own eyes, but I heard about this incident in a nearby village a few years ago:
It was the first day of winter, and the men of the village went to the dried Yellow River stall to "Shangfu" (a local dialect, that is, every winter, according to the head and age of the person to do voluntary labor, basically digging a ditch), digging and digging, a bottomless pit suddenly appeared on the river beach, and the heat was constantly bubbling out.
It's winter! The people around felt the warmth from inside the pit.
Everyone wondered, what would be in this cave?
There was a brave one, relying on his good water quality, he found a rope to tie around his waist and asked someone to help send him to the pit.
A few minutes later, the man let out a hoarse cry.
"Pull me up! Pull me up! There was fear and panic in his voice.
After three times and five divided by two, after pulling him up, this person's face turned pale, and he was probably frightened. When others asked him what was in the pit, he shouted three times in a row, "a big turtle".
According to his description, the village elders concluded that it was the Yellow River tortoise.
In fact, the legend about the Yellow River tortoise has existed for many years, and it has been passed down from generation to generation, and no one can tell whether it is true or false.
Yu Lina suddenly said the Yellow River tortoise, and I also felt very puzzled, and said in my heart: Has she seen it?
After thinking about it, it was better for us to go to Ningxia with a mission this time, so I immediately collected my curiosity, closed the window, and closed the curtains casually. Yu Lina realized what she was wearing, was slightly embarrassed, and asked me in a low voice if I would also go to wash.
I wanted to wash, but I was worried that Yu Lina would see that the wall of the bathroom was glass, so I quickly turned on the light, and while she was not paying attention, I tightened the curtain seam of the glass wall of the bathroom, and then began to take a shower and change clothes.
The hot water rushed to the body, and every cell in the body gave off a comfortable feeling.
After taking a shower, we each fell asleep in the same bed for a while, and dimly heard a few strange sounds outside the window, mixed with the sound of many people shouting trumpets. I didn't care, I rolled over and went back to sleep.
I'm dreaming of marrying a daughter-in-law! Suddenly, I felt someone pulling my arm. Well? When I opened my eyes suddenly, I saw Yu Lina bent over in front of my head, looking at me in a panic.
"You...... You? I didn't even say two "you", but I didn't say anything else.
"Xiao Zhen, I always feel that someone sneered outside the bed......"
As soon as I heard her words, I didn't feel sleepy for a second, and her expression didn't look like a joke! But this is a thirteen-story building, at least forty meters above the ground, and people can't fly, how can they talk outside!
"Listen...... It's the voice, like an old man......"
Yu Lina pointed out the window and said.
I couldn't help but laugh out loud all of a sudden, where is this person laughing! Obviously, the wind blows into the cracks of the window, and the sound it makes is a physical phenomenon, probably I just closed it casually, and the window was not closed tightly!
I explained in a few words, then got up and pulled the window closer, and by this time the sun was already shining outside, and I saw through the gap in the curtain that there were many people gathered around the Yellow River a few miles away, staring at the two boats.
The things in the river seemed to be pulled up and were in a boat, and I couldn't make out what the black stuff was because of the angle.
After a few more glances, I still warned myself not to do much.
I was about to sleep for a while and continue the dream of marrying a daughter-in-law just now, but when I turned around, I saw Yu Lina staring at me with big eyes, a pair of watery eyes full of affection.
I coughed and asked her, "Or sleep a little longer?" ”
Yu Lina smiled and said, "Don't sleep, the children of ordinary people's families don't have the habit of sleeping during the day!" ”
I looked at my watch, it was already half past seven, and I called Li Xiaobai.
"Let's go to the third floor for dinner!"
After a pause for a few seconds, Li Xiaobai's lazy voice came from the phone: "You guys go eat first!" We still want to sleep again! ”
Before I could reply, the phone hung up.
"Let's go eat!" Yu Lina said softly.
I'm going to save trouble, just wear a shirt. Yu Lina still has to change her clothes, so she can't run down in her nightgown! At least in the countryside, she can't accept it ideologically.
"Xiao Zhen...... You turn around, and I ...... I'm going to change my clothes! ”
Yu Lina said shyly.
I was "ordered" to turn around, and she added, "Maybe turn around and peek!" Otherwise, I'll shout to catch the scoundrels—"
Men are inexplicably excited when they hear a woman changing or undressing, perhaps this has been written into the genes of male animals.
"Alright!" After a burst of Suosuo's voice, Yu Lina said softly.
Looking back, Yu Lina suddenly saw a light in front of her, Yu Lina put on the newly bought pink sweatshirt, she was simply a sunny girl, with slender legs, graceful posture, and graceful figure......
When we arrived at the restaurant, it attracted a lot of people's attention.
"This girl is pretty......"
"The inappropriate model is blind to this figure......"
"This man is ......"
Yu Lina has been smiling, and the woman is the one who pleases herself!
Breakfast is buffet style, one egg per person, and the rest is optional. Since I took the dragon egg, I have also grown in the amount of food, and in the face of a beautiful woman, I let go of the big meal, and the laughing Yu Lina almost squirted out a mouthful of porridge.
"Let's go out for a walk! It's my first time in Jinan City! ”
Yu Lina asked me with a smile while wiping her mouth with a tissue.
"Good! I...... It's also my first time here......" I replied casually.
In fact, this is the second time, and the last time was also on the way to Ningxia.
Out of the hotel building, Yu Lina said that she wanted to go to the river, so we went around to the back of the hotel.
As soon as I rounded the hotel building, I saw several people from different directions, pouting and running forward, all aiming at the Yellow River.
"What are you looking at? Let's check it out! Yu Lina pointed ahead and shouted.
We trotted along with these people, and soon saw the group of people watching things around the river, and there were more people at this time, looking at at least hundreds.
Look at the two boats parked in the river, both are big ships, and the hull is written with eight big characters "Shengli Oilfield - PetroChina". On one of the boats, there was a huge turtle lying on its stomach, probably because of fear, and its entire limbs and head were shrunk into the turtle's shell.
As soon as I saw such a big turtle shell, I sighed in my heart, there is enough to have a rural Eight Immortals table (the general side length is one meter five) big, in fact, I have seen a turtle bigger than this, the first time was to throw the third Yellow River ancient bell into the Yellow River, a huge turtle appeared, the second time was in the ancient tomb under the Yellow River, saw the turtle engraved with words on the shell.
Could it be that both of them are Yellow River tortoises?
From a distance, I saw a symbol in the center of this turtle shell, a look is artificially carved up, coincidentally this symbol I happen to know, before in the ancient tomb of Linxian found that there is this word on the stele, it is a "Ji" word.
