Chapter 1: Blue Scales
Today is an exciting day, and I can't sleep at night. The reason is simple, my master is going to have a science class tomorrow, and he will learn "how to make turtle food" in class, and I will definitely get another good dinner.
The owner is a junior high school student named Ah Zhen. At Ah Zhen's hometown fish market, I was found by him in a large basin selling loaches. I think back to that time for a long time, as soon as I was cut open from my mother's egg, I was lifted by a strong hand, and I was caught in the seafood market along with a pile of seafood, and because I was very small, because I was malnourished, and my shell was soft, I stayed with the fish, and I never separated. But I've always been very self-conscious since I was a child, so eventually, a Chinese sturgeon agreed to let me stay in her belly because it was wholesaled away by the people at the town's seafood market, and that's when people picked her up.
But when I excreted from her stomach, I slipped under a bright light, my eyes were awakened by the sun's rays, and then I found that many people were taking pictures and interviews above me, I slowly opened my eyes, it turned out that their target was this Chinese sturgeon, yes, and the owner of this Chinese sturgeon, the owner of the hotel, to conduct an interview. The reason is that the boss sells wild animals - the Chinese sturgeon, a national key protected animal. However, who made this Chinese sturgeon very beautiful, and even grew blue scales on its body, shining under the human camera, so from then on, along with this beautiful fish, I became a star turtle that has been in the newspaper, and the page is introduced: the star Chinese sturgeon and its "community of destiny" baby turtle.
Later, my luck was not so good, the Chinese sturgeon was saved because it was too good-looking, and I was thrown out of a red bucket after the newsworthy value was used. An uncle merchant picked me up and threw me into one of the big basins at his fish market. I may have had a relationship with the container of water, but this time I wasn't as lucky as last time, and I was surrounded by a crowd of loaches waiting to see when they could be bought and when they would be able to burrow into the wet soil of the fields next to the basin...... They even consulted and begged me to make a hole in the plastic with my fangs and help them escape.
The loaches squirmed, but I was like an outlier in them. Because of the language barrier, I had to wait obediently to make way for them to squirm at any time, of course, in this process of "giving way", I also kept practicing my swimming skills, I tried to keep myself floating on the water and not sinking, and eventually, I hoped that someone would come and fish me out.
After waiting for three days, the uncle's fish market seemed to be so deserted, finally, on the fourth day, it was a clear noon, the uncle was smoking next to me, a pair of crisp sound "blue sneakers" stopped in front of the basin, heard the sound I quickly wiped my sleepy eyes, floated up and kept swimming on the water, the owner of this pair of sneakers was a boy, he lovingly hid in front of the basin, asked the uncle who was smoking how to sell the three loaches, and then together with three friends, I was grabbed by him and lifted up, I couldn't move on all four feet, so we were caught in a big black bag with water, and we came to our current home.
I don't know if Ah Zhen read the newspaper with me on it, or if he really likes to eat loaches, but all in all, my fate has taken a second turn since then.
This is how I met my master, Ah Zhen.
