"Comrade, in recent years, has anyone in your village caught these turtles?"

！

！ I'll plug in, ask so, I just know and won't say it, if I really know, to say this to you, the other party is not allowed to go in and step on the sewing machine, unless there is a grudge.

"Don't get me wrong, we're just trying to find out if there's more turtle species on the other side of the lake."

Knowing that he had said the wrong thing, the police hurriedly remedied.

"In recent years? Comrade, I don't know about this, I only returned to the village three years ago, anyway, I haven't heard of it during this time. ”

"By the way, more than ten years ago, I often caught soft-shelled turtles, and at that time, the collective organization went to the lake to fish, and occasionally caught one or two, but I don't know if it was a turtle."

"Anyway, the experts will have to wait for a while to come, or I will take you to a place where there are many elderly people in the village to ask, they are in the village all year round, and they should probably know."

"Okay, then Comrade Troublesome will take us over to ask."

The police also felt that if they asked the old people in the village, they might know more about the situation, so they immediately asked Chengxin to take them over.

However, not all four of them went, and the two of the fishery administration stayed behind to take care of the two turtles basking in the sun.

！

Do you need to worry so much? Cheng Xin didn't say much in his heart, and walked towards the village with two policemen.

Although there are people in the village who want to work, there are still some elderly people who can't work and chat and play cards in the village every day.

As soon as Chengxin arrived with two uniformed policemen, whether they were chatting or playing cards, they all stopped.

Everyone was just curious, and the card players weren't worried at all that they were here to gamble.

The kind of situation that I saw on the Internet that I would be detained for playing a game of ten yuan mahjong would not occur at all in Qingshi or even in Sichuan Province next door.

If that's the case, hehe, the prisons and detention centers in the whole country are not enough to close.

"Ahem, the old people stop for a while, these two police comrades came here to ask about the country's protection of animals."

"Think about it, if you know, you can tell the police comrades."

To be honest, Chengxin's words are a bit of a reminder.

Although these elders are all mountain people and have little knowledge, they may have been to the farthest place, which is next to the main city of the town, and they may not have been to the district at all.

】

However, with the strengthening of animal protection propaganda in recent years, we all know that harming state-protected animals is a prison sentence.

So when I heard Chengxin say that the police were here to investigate the country's protection of animals, I knew that there were some things that should not be said, at least in the past ten years.

As for what happened ten years away? I didn't say it, after all, at that time, everything was not protected like now, and the popularization of the law was not in place.

In fact, many people are wondering, are these police officers here to investigate the matter of the golden monkey?

After all, it was brought by Chengxin, and the only protected animals in the village are these two naughty little guys.

After Chengxin finished speaking, the two policemen took their mobile phones and showed the photos of the turtles just taken in Chengxin to groups of elderly people for careful viewing.

"Hey, isn't this the big king on the other side of the lake? I haven't seen each other in years, and I'm quite nostalgic. ”

An uncle couldn't help but say after looking at the photos.

"Uncle, it seems that you know this better?"

The police comrade immediately stopped next to the uncle, adjusted the recorder on his body, and then asked.

"Well, that's for sure, many people in this Wangba Village know it, especially the elderly."

"Can you tell me more about it? The sooner you start, the better. ”

The old man is over eighty years old, and he must know a lot, and he is also useful for understanding turtles, so the police asked the old man to go early.

"Earlier? Okay, no problem. ”

"This Wang Ba, since I was a child, there was this thing in the village, and I ate it several times at that time, and there were not so many seasonings at that time, it was all braised with some bean paste soy sauce~."

The nostalgia that the old man said, wouldn't it be that he hadn't eaten it for a long time, and he was nostalgic for the delicious turtles he had in his childhood?!

The old man began to talk as he reminisced.

But it's a bit too far, starting with when he was a child.

At that time, there was a king in the lake in the village, but this thing was very fishy, and basically no one ate it.

I didn't bother to catch it before.

After the collective organization catches fishing, no matter how big or small, it is basically thrown back into the lake.

It wasn't until the eighties and nineties that the villagers found that this Wang Ba could be sold for more than ten yuan a catty outside.

Since then, the Wang Ba that has been caught or caught has been taken out and sold by the villagers when they are rushing to the market.

After years of arrest, it is becoming more and more difficult to catch the king in the lake.

Fortunately, the villagers at that time were a little superstitious, and they only caught the smaller Wang Ba, and for the big Wang Ba like a basin or bigger, they would basically let it go.

It's not just superstition, it's actually a way to fish without exhaustion.

Not only Wang Ba, at that time, if you caught a big fish of dozens of catties in the lake, the villagers would release them so that they could give birth.

Otherwise, in those hundreds of acres of lake, in that era of frequent fishing, if there were no big fish left, there might not be many fish in the lake.

The super grass carp that Chengxin caught last time may have been caught and released in the same way.

"It wasn't until a few years later that the village stopped organizing villagers to fish collectively, and most of the able-bodied villagers went out to work, and I never heard of anyone catching Wang Ba."

The old man spoke for more than ten minutes before he finished speaking, and Chengxin listened to it very well. Even Su Xue didn't notice when she came over.

It wasn't until he felt someone pushing him and turned his head to look that he found that Su Xue Huying was coming.

"What's going on? What are the police doing here? What Wang Ba? Su Xue looked at Cheng Xin, who came back to his senses.

She was in the office with Hu Ying just now, and suddenly saw a uniformed policeman at the door, and they didn't receive a notice that a policeman was coming, so they came to check on the situation.

"Daughter-in-law, it's like this~~."

Chengxin carefully explained the ins and outs to his little daughter-in-law.

"The king in your pool is a turtle? There are only three first-class protected animals in the world? ”

Su Xue couldn't believe it.

She has always been the same as Chengxin, thinking that they were just two old kings, but she didn't expect that they were still only sitting in prison, and they were so rare.

"Yes, I was startled when I knew, by the way, daughter-in-law, I said that I fell at the beginning of the year, don't say that they have been caught by me a long time ago, otherwise my husband will have to step on the sewing machine."

Cheng Xin leaned into Su Xue's ear and whispered.

"Even so, you've been raising it for two months, are you okay?"

Su Xue nodded to indicate that she understood, and asked casually with a little worry.

"It's okay, I asked just now, I didn't mean it, and after I found out, I called the police in time, as long as there is no man-made injury on the guy at home, it's 100% fine."

Hearing Chengxin say this, Su Xue was no longer worried.

The two women also sat next to Chengxin, listening to the old man and the old lady tell the police comrades about the past.

When the police comrades told the villagers that they had eaten more than 10 years ago and that they would not break the law, an old man also said that he still had a piece of armor left over from the turtle at home, and he took it out to the police at home.

The armor is still small, much bigger than three adult slaps.

In the end, the turtle armor, which had been put for an unknown amount of time, was confiscated by the police comrades, saying that it was used for research.

After an hour of questioning, the police comrades ended their questioning with the villagers.

Back at Chengxin's house, the fishery administrator did not observe the two prime ministers, but sat in the pavilion drinking tea.

After asking, the expert is on his way, and it will take at least more than an hour to arrive.

After looking at the time, it was noon, and seeing that the four of them had no intention of leaving, Chengxin invited them to go to Yigu Street for lunch together.

The four were not polite either.

The specialists will have to wait for the experts to come, and then everything will be done before leaving, if you are polite, will you be hungry in the afternoon?
