Chapter 3 The Life-Saving Turtle

Zhong Sheng, where are you? Have you met Zhong Sheng? Cai Mao came here and still kept shouting, her face full of melancholy.

The group of people who were looking around for something, some of them looked back at him, as if they wanted to answer something, but they didn't answer.

Cai Mao vaguely heard a voice answering him, Dad, I'm here. But he didn't see anyone, it was clearly Zhong Sheng, a girl's voice, he was very familiar with. A stone pressed against his heart seemed to be overturned, and a shallow smile overflowed in his tearful eyes.

Suddenly, the line of people who were watching something spread out, and he found Zhong Sheng, his daughter sitting on the beach, soaking wet, including her jet-black hair, and cumulonimbus clouds floating on her cheeks. There was a large turtle beside her, with a bulging back like a rock.

Cai Zhongsheng put one hand on its back, and the other hand lifted the bangs in front of his forehead. Seeing Cai Mao coming over, she stood up and said, Dad, your daughter escaped death, if this turtle hadn't saved me, I would have fed the fish and turtles in the sea a long time ago.

Suddenly, Cai Mao had walked in front of him, he looked at his children, and then at the turtle, and then he understood that many people were gathered here to watch the strange and lively.

Cai Zhongsheng pointed to the big turtle and said, Dad, it is my life-saving turtle.

Cai Mao asked her what happened last night, and as if she had woken up from a nightmare, she told the thrilling details that were still in her mind:

When her boyfriend Liu Sanjun left her last night, he said that he would get her a chicken to stew vermicelli on the boat, but he didn't return at 10 o'clock in the evening.

Suddenly a strong wind blew on the sea, and the waves crashed on the shore, and pulled the hook of the anchor chain of the large wooden boat where she was resting on the shore. The big wooden boat was hit by the waves to the sea farther and farther away from the coast, Cai Zhongsheng saw that the situation was not good, and planned to save herself, she came out of the cabin and grabbed the wooden oar on the bow of the boat and wanted to turn around and row to the shore, but before she could stand on her heels, a huge wave of a certain height swooped in, overturned the wooden boat, and Cai Zhongsheng was then thrown into the sea.

She fluttered, her body still sinking into the water. Although Liu Sanjun once taught her to swim, she didn't learn home, and she still didn't float or sink like a bang in deep water.

Cai Zhongsheng thought that she would definitely drown, and just as she was choking on the salty sea water in her throat and struggling weakly, she suddenly felt something hard like a shell lifting her sinking body out of the water. She closed her eyes and was afraid to look, very frightened, afraid that the monster would eat her.

But the monster carried her on her for a long distance in the turbulent sea, but it never meant to hurt her.

After spitting out the sea water that had choked into her stomach, she boldly stretched her side body and relaxed it, and threw herself on the hard shell.

On this dark night when the wind and tsunami were blowing, she couldn't see what this monster was, and she didn't know where it was going to carry itself, and she still had some confusion in her heart.

In the early hours of the morning, the sky slowly brightened, and she saw clearly that it was a large turtle that roamed among the crests and valleys of the sea that carried her.

She was also surprised to find that the left side of the turtle's back was engraved with the words "Liang Xiuying released", as if she understood something, so she tapped the turtle's back with her hand and said, Grandpa Turtle, thank you for saving me, I think you saved me to repay your kindness, I see that the name engraved on your back is not my Cai Zhongsheng, you repay the wrong object. I tell you, you don't regret throwing me in the sea!

The turtle stood still, twisting its long, scaly neck to look at her for 30 seconds.

Cai Zhongsheng was so frightened that he kept chanting, Grandpa Turtle, although I am not the one who released you, you must not overturn me into the sea and ignore it, if you don't care, I will drown, because I can't swim...... The turtle retracted its neck, and instead of lifting Cai Zhongsheng off his back, he continued to carry her on the sea. The wind and waves here are calm, the sea is like a mirror, and the rising sun in the distance is like a golden turtle carrying the clouds in Cai Zhongsheng's view; Bathed in the light it sprinkled on the blue sea, Cai Zhongsheng felt extremely warm.

When she saw that the turtle still had no intention of harming her, she said, "Grandpa Turtle, you will do your good deeds to the end, and send me to the coast!" I don't want to play in the sea anymore.

Hearing her say this, the turtle turned around and swam from the vast sea to the golden coastline, and just like that, Cai Zhongsheng was sent to the shore by the big turtle.

When Cai Mao heard this, she immediately knelt down, kowtowed three times to the big turtle that was docked next to Cai Zhongsheng, and kept saying: Thank you, help the turtle, help the turtle, if it weren't for your grace, my daughter would have suffered an accident last night! Many of the onlookers were amazed.

A young man wearing a sea soul shirt took out a piece of money from the purse of his denim shorts and grabbed it in his hand, and when he saw Cai Mao standing up, he also knew that he and the girl who was gratefully stroking the life-saving turtle were father and daughter, so he gently touched Cai Mao with his elbow: Alas, can this big turtle be sold to me, tell your daughter that I am willing to pay.

Saying that, he lit up the coin in his hand in Cai Mao's eyes and told him that he could sell it for a full thousand yuan? Cai Mao was stunned, Cai Zhongsheng shook his hand back and forth, and said resolutely, No, you just spend 10,000 yuan, and this life-saving turtle will not be sold.

The crowd was silent. The young man said regretfully, "If you don't sell it to me, you will get a good prize if you send it to the zoo yourself."

Cai Zhongsheng sneered at him, and said in a crisp voice, I can't do that kind of thing that forgets profit, even if the zoo adopts it, it will lose its freedom, how can it live freely in the sea?

Cai Mao agreed with her daughter's opinion, and also said that it could not be sold, and emphasized that it saved my daughter, and maybe it will save others, so it can be seen that it is a turtle and must be put back into the sea.

Cai Mao actively responded to her father's proposal, and immediately approached the big turtle and said, you go back to the sea, I, Cai Zhongsheng, will never forget your life-saving grace.

The big turtle willingly stretched out its neck that was retracted into the turtle shell, and looked at Cai Zhongsheng for a full minute, as if to say goodbye to her.

At this moment, some onlookers wanted to catch the big turtle and showed their eagerness to try. Cai Mao stood firmly, raised the hoe he brought above his head, his eyes were horizontal, and he said cruelly, if anyone catches this big turtle that saved my daughter's life, my hoe will not recognize people.

Cai Mao's words made those restless people dispel their thoughts and stand still at all.

The big turtle also seemed to realize the danger of this situation, and did not dare to stay for a long time, quickly turned its bulky body on the beach, stepped on all fours, stretched out the faucet as exquisitely **, and climbed straight into the sea, looking like a small buffalo moving forward in waves, swimming a few meters away from the water, and then disappeared into the water.
