Chapter 145 The Quartet Heavenly God Xuanwu is my pet
Take Xiao Xuanwu in his hand and look at it to see that it looks similar to a turtle, a pair of round little eyes are looking at me cutely, there is a row of small and smooth edges and corners on the eyelids, and there is also a row of small and smooth edges and corners on the bridge of the nose, and when the edges and corners on the forehead are divided into three rows until the back of the neck, probably because he is afraid that Xiao Xuanwu will yearn to turn his back when he sees the two small ears of the person
The small face is round and rumbling to look at it is quite rare, it has a mouth that reveals 4 small tiger teeth, and there is a pair of tender green angular turtle shells on the back, in the middle of the turtle shell, there are three rows of transparent scales shaped like mountain peaks, and it is quite soft to touch with your hands, just like rubber, and the whole body is covered with fine scales and thick limbs, especially the two forepaws are unusually thick, there are four finger nails on the forepaw and the cat's, and the four toe nails on the hind paw are similar to the elephant's nails, There is also a transparent scale on the tip of the tail that resembles a mountain peak
Li Yang held Xiao Xuanwu in his hand and shouted excitedly to the bed: Madame-Madame, wake up
Song Shiting and Heng Yan opened their eyes in a daze, and the lazy sheep sat up from the bed: Why don't you wake us up in the middle of the night
Li Yang and the two ladies glanced at their hands: Madam, look, that hatched a baby turtle
Song Shiting's eyes widened and she hurriedly ran over from the bed, Heng Yan also followed closely and walked over quickly, when she saw Xiao Xuanwu, she was both surprised and excited, surprised that this turtle looked like she had never seen before, and she was so excited that she didn't expect that the broken egg could hatch a little turtle
Song Shiting happily held her hands together and asked me to put Xiao Xuanwu on her palm: Sister, you see that this little turtle looks so cute
When I put Xiao Xuanwu on Song Shiting's palm, Xiao Xuanwu was honestly lying on his back on the palm
Heng Yan raised her hand and gently stroked Xiao Xuanwu's forehead: This little guy is quite honest
Song Shiting held Xiao Xuanwu in front of her, and when she saw its cute appearance, she couldn't help but smile like a child: Husband, you should name this little guy
Li Yang saw that Xiao Xuanwu looked cute and cute: Mrs. might as well call it Xuanmeng - nickname Mengmeng
Song Shiting wrapped her fingers around Xiao Xuanwu's belly: You will be called Mengmeng in the future, little guy
Xiao Xuanwu hugged Song Shiting's fingers with his limbs, probably because it was a little cold in the room, Xiao Xuanwu suddenly opened his mouth to reveal 4 little tiger teeth and sneezed, his whole body trembled, and even his little tail was made into a round curl
Song Shiting cleaned up the hatched eggshells on the table, and then replaced the square plate with a clean quilt, put Xiao Xuanwu in the middle of the square plate and covered it with a small quilt, and after a while, Xiao Xuanwu closed his eyes and fell asleep
When I woke up the next day, I opened the small quilt, and I saw that Xiao Xuanwu was opening his mouth and estimated that it might be hungry, and Xiao Xuanwu didn't look as energetic as last night, so I quickly ran to the kitchen and put a bowl of rice, but the rice grains were put in Xiao Xuanwu's mouth and it chewed a few times and spit it out
Song Shiting fed it several times: Does this small family have to be fed meat?
Li Yang heard that it was not impossible to do so, so he ran back to the kitchen and cut a small piece of lean meat, and when he put the meat in Xiao Xuanwu's mouth, it really couldn't bite it, and the meat was turned over and over in his mouth to review Yong, and finally it spit out the meat in its mouth, and the meat didn't eat it, so you shouldn't be a mammal to drink milk
Xiao Xuanwu was listless and opened his mouth to ask for it, Song Shiting looked at Xiao Xuanwu with tears in her eyes, "Little guy, why don't you eat, eat quickly, if it's not something, you will starve to death" Li Yang got dressed, didn't even bother to wash his face, and rode a horse to the ten villages to find milk
When the emperor left Dianke Village, there was a family in the village whose dog had just given birth, Li Yang asked the family for a little dog milk, and in order to express his gratitude, he also gave the family 100 yuan, and asked the family to use the money to buy some delicious food for the dog, and when he went back, he galloped all the way
Li Yang happily returned home with the dog milk: Madam, I ordered the dog milk on the hour, try to see if the little guy eats it
Song Shiting dipped the dog milk with a hairpin and dropped a few drops into Xiao Xuanwu's mouth, and Xiao Xuanwu spit out the dog milk with a chirp, which made the three of them anxious, so Li Yang asked people to invite Gao Yuankui and others to the conference hall, saying that there are many people and strength, maybe they can help me think of something
About half an hour later, Gao Yuan-Li Zuo and others came to the conference hall one after another, and when everyone arrived at Gao Yuan, they asked: Hongting, why is it so urgent to call everyone
Li Yang put Xiao Xuanwu on the table: I invited everyone here to ask you about something, do you know what turtles can eat when they are born
When the people present saw Xiao Xuanwu on the table, they immediately surrounded him, and Xiao Xuanwu looked weaker than just now, and everyone was talking about what kind of play this was, how could they have never seen it before
Gao Yuan looked at Xiao Xuanwu: What kind of play is this, where did you get it?
Li Yang waved his hand and brought everyone to his side: You still remember the Xuanwu egg I got back from the ancient tomb before
Yuan Kui looked at Xiao Xuanwu with a look of surprise: Could it be that this little guy is Xuanwu, one of the ancient gods of the Quartet
As soon as this statement came out, the people present were all dumbfounded, the ancient period was thousands of years from now, more than 10,000 years or even 10 tens of thousands of years, according to legend, the ancient gods of the four directions were the left green dragon - the right white tiger - the upper vermilion bird - the lower Xuanwu
The green dragon is also known as the dragon is one of the most terrifying and boundless beasts of ancient demons, is the guardian of the gods of the four directions, also known as the god of the East, it is said that the green dragon is thousands of feet long, the body is huge - the whole body is turquoise - the head is like a unicorn - the tail is like a fish's tail, the green dragon can be big and small - can be born and hidden - lurking in the waves and flying between the universe, and the dragon is the embodiment of morality is a symbol of royal power, with supreme power
The white tiger is the god of the West - it looks like a tiger with a huge body, several feet high, the so-called dragon has rain and tiger has wind, saying that with this guy's wings will inevitably be stormy, the mythical beast white tiger is the master of the western sky in ancient times, also known as the god of killing, with a variety of divine powers to ward off evil - punish evil and promote goodness - fortune blessing - tie the knot
The Vermilion Bird, also known as the Vermilion Bird, is said to be able to control all things in the world, is the god of the south in ancient mythology, is a sacred bird of fire of the five elements, because it is red all over the body, so it is called the Vermilion Bird, the legend is that the Vermilion Bird is an immortal and immortal existence, even if it has to be turned into ashes in the flesh, as long as the conscious fire is ignited, it can be reborn in the fire
Xuanwu is also called Xuanwu is a spiritual creature composed of turtles and snakes, and it is also the most terrifying and boundless magical beast, Xuanwu Bagua is Kan Five Elements belongs to the water dwelling in the North Sea on behalf of the northern seven houses, the turtle has a long life, so Xuanwu has become a symbol of immortality, and the underworld is also in the north, so it is the god of the north, and Xuanwu can have the divine power of predicting good luck and evil through meditation
If the little guy in front of him who looks like a turtle is really Xuanwu, then the whole world will be shocked, as the so-called Pifu is innocent and guilty, this may not be a good thing for the Li family and Alan County, and those who have ill intentions will definitely want to get it by any means, at this time, everyone's expressions when they look at Xiao Xuanwu have changed from surprise to uneasiness
But the words of the Taoist of Guanshan dispelled everyone's uneasiness: the ancient gods of the four directions are just an ancient legend, and the book recorded and carved on the stone wall is a turtle with a snake wrapped around its back, but this little guy is not the same as the Xuanwu totem painted in the book and carved on the stone wall
Gao Yuan: What the Taoist Guanshan said is right, a few years ago, I went to the Taoist temple to seek blessings and saw the Xuanwu statue, as the Guanshan Taoist said that the Xuanwu statue is like a big turtle with a big worm wrapped around its body
Li Long: So what kind of play can this little guy who looks like a turtle do?
Guanshan: This little guy is probably a rare species among turtles, and don't fishermen often catch some strange and never-before-seen marine fish in the sea?
Li Yang: I have exactly the same opinion as the Taoist Guanshan Daoist
After all, Xuanwu is just a legend that has been circulated for a long time, and no one has ever seen it with their own eyes, and there is no record in the ancient books that anyone has seen Xuanwu with their own eyes, if it weren't for the fact that he inadvertently communicated with Xuanwu's Yuan Shen in the ancient tomb before, he wouldn't know that the little guy in front of him was Xuanwu
At first, he thought that the basalt egg was a fossil and looked very good, so he brought the basalt egg back and thought about it as an ornament, but no one thought that this egg really hatched into a small Xuanwu, like this strange thing can be concealed for a day or two, but after a long time, there will always be a time when you can't hide it, the more you hide it, the more eye-catching it is, and want to hit it, then simply don't hide it, so that everyone knows that no one will fight it
Li Yang: This little guy was hatched last night, and it hasn't eaten rice-meat-milk until now, but it just doesn't eat it, so I invited everyone over in a hurry, and asked if you know what the newly hatched baby turtle can eat
Gao Yuan: If you don't say I haven't paid attention to this before
Yuan Kui: Hongting, why don't you go to Xilan Village and Lanxi Village to inquire, the fishermen there often go out to fish and are close to the sea, maybe they will know about it
Big Cow: Children at the beach often go to the beach to play, and pick up the freshly hatched baby turtles to raise at home
Li Yang: yes - I'll go to Lanxi Village and ask
Da Niu: Young Master, then I'll go with you
Gao Yuan: There's nothing else, so let's go back first
Li Yang hurriedly got up and bowed his hand to the brothers: I have to work for the brothers
After everyone left, Li Yang hurriedly sent Xiao Xuanwu home to be taken care of by Song Shiting, while he himself rode a horse with Da Niu to the beach near Lanxi Village, which was about 90 miles away from Alan County
It was very windy on the sea today, and the clouds in the sky were floating faster, and it was going to rain, and a dozen fishermen were busy pushing their fishing boats to the beach, and a few women and a group of children were busy packing up their nets on the nearby beach, and they found a tree and tied their horses to it and walked towards the fishermen
When Li Yang and Da Niu helped the fishermen push the boat to the beach and push the next one, Li Yang and the fishermen chatted: How is the harvest today, brother?
The fisherman sighed lightly: No, the wind just went out to sea, and we came back when we saw that the weather looked like it was going to rain, and today we caught more than a dozen sea fish and some shrimp in vain
Li Yang: My brother may catch more fish next time he goes to sea
The fisherman smiled slightly: "To borrow your auspicious words, our fishing boat is too small to go too far, and if it goes far, it may blow there in a windy day."
Li Yang: Brother is insisting on it, I heard that a dock will be built near here next year, and then you can change to a big boat to go to sea to fish
Fisherman: Even if we do, we won't have enough money to buy a big boat
Li Yang: Brother, this is not necessarily, maybe it won't cost much to change the big ship
Fisherman: If that's the case, thank goodness
When the last fishing boat was pushed ashore, the fisherman handed me and the cow the water bottle he had brought with him: thank you, you two, come and take a break for a while
Li Yang shook his hand: Brother, I want to ask you about something
Fisherman: Say it
Li Yang: Brother, my wife picked up a baby turtle on the beach yesterday, and when she went home, she fed it rice, meat, and milk, and it didn't eat it
Fisherman: You are asking the right person, my children often pick up the baby turtle to raise at home, just hatched baby turtle you will give egg white - if there is no egg at home, don't get the egg, wait for it to be a little older for a month or so, you will cook the egg for it to eat, the baby turtle is afraid of the cold, you don't let him freeze on the line
Another fisherman: When it's older, you can also feed it some greens, cabbage-pumpkin-celery-cucumber and the like, if you have time, catch some shrimp for it, the turtle is willing to eat, if you can't catch it, you can come here as soon as it gets dark, if we catch it, we will give you some and it will not be in the way
In a fisherman: centipede-earthworm should also eat it, and if the baby turtle is fine, you can put it in the sun to dry
Li Yang was happy when he heard this: Thank you brothers
Fisherman: It's okay - we all raised it when we were young
Li Yang: I want as many fish and shrimp as I caught today
As soon as the fishermen saw that there were more than a dozen sea fish and some small shrimp in the frame, they picked up the fish frame and stuffed it to Li Yang: It's all worthless sea fish and shrimp, you can take it and eat it
Li Yang: How can this work, my brother is not easy to catch, I can't ask for it in vain
The fisherman pushed Li Yang with his hand: Okay, don't postpone it, let's take it and eat it, we have to do other work
Li Yang glanced at the big cow: the big cow
Da Niu took out a money bag from his arms and handed it to the fisherman: Brother is more or less of our heart, if you don't have too little, it's like that
The fisherman stuffed the money bag back into the hands of the big cow: these fish are not worth a few dollars, so take them back and eat them
Li Yang: It's not easy for my brother to go to sea, and you can use the money to buy some wine and food, which is also a part of our brother's heart
After saying that, the two turned around and left, the fisherman looked at the back of the two gradually moving away, and showed a smile of relief on his face, and when he got home, Li Yang first made an egg according to what the fisherman said, knocked the egg on the table, and then poured the egg white-egg yolk into the bowl
Song Shiting put a little egg white with the tip of the spoon and put it to Xiao Xuanwu's mouth, it is estimated that Xiao Xuanwu was hungry and the egg white was just sent to his mouth, and he bit the spoon in one bite and couldn't wait to eat it with the spoon, Song Shiting saw this and dragged the spoon out of Xiao Xuanwu's mouth, and Xiao Xuanwu swallowed the egg white in a few strokes
Song Shiting shouted excitedly: Sister-look at the little guy and it's eating
Heng Yan stared at Xiao Xuanwu: Great, the little guy is saved
Song Shiting took Xiao Xuanwu in her hand and fed it one bite at a time, Xiao Xuanwu was quite able to eat and made an egg, after putting the little guy down, it got up on the table, and when it climbed to the table, Song Shiting would grab Xiao Xuanwu and turn him in a direction, and when he climbed to the other side, Hengyan was adjusting a direction for it, and after repeating it a few times, Xiao Xuanwu crawled and fell asleep on the table
The little guy slept quite dead, grabbed it from the table, put it on the square plate on the head of the bed, it didn't even wake up, afraid that the little guy was cold, Song Shiting specially covered it with a small quilt, Li Yang married Song Shiting and Hengyan home for more than two years, it is said that he should be a father, but the two ladies are still in the stomach, and the arrival of Xiao Xuanwu is undoubtedly a new member and a joy for this family
Seven days have passed in a blink of an eye, Xiao Xuanwu has to eat three raw eggs every day, as long as it is hungry, it will open its mouth to people, and after eating and playing for a while, he will fall asleep like a child, but Xiao Xuanwu still looks listless and has no spirit before birth, Li Yang suspects that Xiao Xuanwu may be related to a crack in the eggshell before hatching
Waiting for the next day, Xiao Xuanwu began to stop eating again, and kept lying on the square plate and didn't move, Song Shiting and Hengyan were also on fire because they couldn't even eat, and the next morning Li Yang just came together and saw Xiao Xuanwu open his mouth and exhale vigorously, Li Yang suddenly chuckled in his heart, he felt that Xiao Xuanwu might not live long
You can't just look at the little guy and do nothing, it's already like this, and you can only use a dead horse as a live horse doctor, so Li Yang grabbed Xiao Xuanwu and patted it on the back with his hand, I don't know if this method can save Xiao Xuanwu, but as far as I'm concerned, I really tried my best, and after a few shots, Xiao Xuanwu still exhaled vigorously, so he increased his strength a little more
After about 30 strokes, Xiao Xuanwu finally took a breath, Li Yang also slowed down the speed of the beat, and saw that Xiao Xuanwu's breathing returned to normal, Li Yang's hanging heart finally landed, and he couldn't eat much when he fed the little guy, and his little head was even weak to crawl
By noon, Xiao Xuanwu was already dying, Song Shiting looked at Xiao Xuanwu lying in Hengyan's arms and cried sadly, Li Yang picked up Xiao Xuanwu from the table and put it in his hand and walked outside the house, he looked at Xiao Xuanwu with tears in his eyes: Little guy, don't die
At this time, the head of the mountain view road ran over with great interest, and he shouted there vigorously from a distance, "The East Family-The East Family Poor Road finally knows"
After getting closer, he was out of breath: The owner of the poor road knew how to refine the Great Gold Pill
Li Yang invited Guanshan to sit down in the pavilion in the courtyard, Guanshan took out a piece of jade coffin spirit from the cloth bag he carried and put it on the stone table, Li Yang casually put Xiao Xuanwu on the stone table, Guanshan Taoist soaked the strong golden pill in water, he recognized several of the Chinese medicines, and this jade coffin spirit was one of them, he wanted to try to refine the strong golden pill
Just when the two were talking, Xiao Xuanwu actually climbed next to the jade coffin spirit by himself and bit it, even if he bit it, he couldn't bite it, but it still refused to let go
