Turtle, where did the turtle come from in this mountain?

Fu Wan and the others felt strange and walked forward quickly.

I walked to Fu Ling and saw that there really was a turtle.

There was still a lot of dried mud on the turtle's back, but the lines on its shell were still clearly visible. Fu Wan even saw a few cracks when she got closer. A mountain turtle, I encountered one in my hometown this year. "Where did this turtle come from on this mountain road?"

Fu Ming couldn't help but feel strange. Their current location was quite a distance from the river. Even for a person, it would take more than ten minutes to walk there.

Not to mention this turtle, it would take a long time to crawl just relying on its four short legs.

"Judging from its appearance, it should be a mountain tortoise. It probably came out to bask in the sun because the weather was nice."

Ye Lin squatted down. The turtle, which had just poked its head out, retreated in fear. The shell looked bigger than his palm, so the turtle must be quite old.

"Mom, this turtle looks like Fugui. Will it eat small fish?"

Fu Ling squatted beside and watched for a long time. The turtle looked somewhat similar to the sea turtle itself. The little girl immediately thought of Fugui, whom she had not seen for a long time.

Seeing that there was no pond here, the little guy started to worry about what the turtle would eat.

You know what, Fu Wan was really stumped by this question.

You have to ask Ye Lin what the turtles in the mountains eat.

Ye Lin also looked at the surrounding environment, thought for a moment, and then expressed his guess.

"The mountain tortoise probably eats straw and peas in the fields, and insects on the road as well."

Wild animals in the mountains generally eat a variety of foods. As long as it is not poisonous and can satisfy their hunger, they will basically try it.

When Fu Ling, Qin Mingzhu and other children heard this, they immediately became excited.

He immediately picked out a few small fish from the bucket and placed them in front of the turtle. The turtle obviously smelled the fishy smell. After waiting for a few seconds and seeing that Fu Wan and the others had no intention of hurting it, it slowly stuck its head out of the shell, then picked up a small fish in its mouth and ate it.

Seeing the turtle eating the fish, the children were excited again, but they didn't dare to move too much, otherwise they would scare the turtle.

"Okay, let's go back quickly. If we keep going on like this, the fish in my hand will be dead!"

Being used to seeing animals in the mountains, Ye Lin naturally found mountain turtles not so strange.

People in the mountains are superstitious and believe that these things are usually spiritual. If you see them on the road, you have to avoid them.

Since it can neither be eaten nor sold, Ye Lin is naturally more concerned about the big black carp in his hand.

"Okay, let's go back!"

Fu Wan pulled Fu Ling, Qin Mingzhu and others forward. The children kept looking back with longing even after they had walked a long way. Fu Wan couldn't help but look back. The mountain turtle was still lying there eating the small fish that fell from the sky. It was so delicious, one bite at a time.

"Brother A-Ling, whose longevity tomb is that over there?"

Fu Wan rarely took this route, and had only been to Qingshan Village a few times during this period, so naturally she didn't know much about these things.

"Oh, over there! That's the tomb of Ye Liuzi's grandparents."

At this point, he couldn't help but sigh, "Don't mention it, those two old people are over 90 years old, and they are among the oldest in our village."

When Fu Ming heard this, his face immediately became strange.

He quickly walked over to Fu Wan and whispered, "Awan, do you think that mountain tortoise lives in the tombs of those two old people?"

Fu Wan instantly got goosebumps on her back. She thought about the location where the mountain turtle had just appeared. It was right behind the longevity tomb.

The so-called Shoufen is also a kind of tomb. The only difference is that Shoufen is a tomb built and erected with a tombstone while the elderly are still alive.

This kind of longevity tomb is usually built by choosing a location when the elderly person reaches the age of 60. The younger generation will also hire someone to build it, and will also invite relatives, friends, and fellow villagers who help to have a drink.

Moreover, the inscription on this kind of longevity tomb is different from the inscriptions on other tombs. It was when Fu Wan saw the two words "Shou Yu" on the tombstone that she realized that that was the empty longevity tomb.

Ye Lin was not far from Fu Wan, so he naturally heard what Fu Ming said.

He thought for a moment and said, "Don't tell me, it's really possible."

Although mountain tortoises like to come out to bask in the sun occasionally, their habitats are generally dark and damp caves.

"Maybe this is also the reason why those two old people lived so long?"

Fu Ming added another sentence. Although it sounded absurd, it did make some sense.

The turtle itself is a symbol of longevity.

"Forget it, whatever it is, if it really is that magical, Lingling and the others just fed it a lot of small fish, so won't the turtle thank them later?"

Fu Wan said this casually and even laughed at herself.

Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu didn't understand what the adults said, so they simply let go of Fu Wan's hand and ran ahead with Ye Zhenxing and Ye Xiaofeng.

As soon as the group entered the village, they attracted the attention of the villagers.

"Hey, A-Lin, where did you get this big bluefish?"

A young man immediately came over, his eyes glued to Ye Lin's hand, and he was reluctant to leave.

As for Fu Wan and Fu Ming, they were just treated as background members.

"We caught them in the river. Brother, if you want to eat some, come back to my house and I'll cut off a tail for you."

There was a reason why Ye Lin was so generous. The person who came over was none other than his next-door neighbor.

When he is not at home, this elder brother helps his family a lot.

"Look at what you said. How could I possibly covet your fish tail? I haven't eaten since last night. I'm just waiting for your lunch tonight!"

Ye Lin couldn't help laughing when he heard this. What do you mean he didn't eat last night? He saw this guy squatting at the door this morning, drinking a bowl of porridge.

"Not much more to say, the fish is almost dead. Come over early for lunch!"

After Ye Lin said goodbye to the elder brother, he walked quickly home.

Fu Wan and Fu Ming did not fall behind. The group walked quickly. Even if there were villagers on the road who wanted to see the fish, Ye Lin refused them on the grounds that the fish were about to die.

But this could not stop the villagers from wanting to watch the fun. Not long after, Ye Lin arrived home, and there were villagers gathered at the door to watch the fun.

The Ye family yard was also very lively at this time. As soon as Ye Xiaocui and Fu Lao Da arrived, they immediately rolled up their sleeves and joined in helping with cooking.

Ye Xiaocui followed Li Chunhua to pick and wash vegetables, while Boss Fu helped to clean up the wild rabbits.

Chen Guifang also had a day off today, but she didn't just sit there doing nothing. She washed vegetables and dishes and couldn't stop at all.

As for Ye Jun's wife Liang Cuifen, she was also quite pregnant and was sitting next to him with a big belly. She wanted to pick some vegetables as a token of her respect, but Li Chunhua refused and asked her to watch from the side.

She didn't refuse much, as Ye Jun asked her to come and help.

It was at this time that Ye Lin and his companions entered the yard in a mighty procession. As soon as they came in, everyone in the yard subconsciously looked up to hear the movement.

The next second, everyone was shocked by the big blue carp.
