The sun sets over the western mountains, and the sky is filled with red flaming clouds.

The breeze blows gently, and the faint fragrance of rice flowers floats in the mountains. Next to the rice flower fields at the foot of the mountains, a small stream meanders.

"Woof woof woof!"

A small native dog with pure black hair barked happily on the shore, and from time to time it would make a 360-degree turn to have fun.

Jiang Xiaoye stood in the stream with his trouser legs rolled up, and suddenly smiled proudly. In his muddy hands, he took out a muddy crab.

The crab raised its claws and opened its claws, trying to make a final struggle, but he skillfully threw it in an arc and fell into the basket on the shore.

The local dog immediately ran over wagging its tail, tilted its head and looked at the harvest in the bamboo basket, and barked, as if threatening the crabs and lobsters inside to be honest.

However, when he saw his little master walking far away in the stream with his bare feet, the local dog hurriedly bit the bamboo basket and followed him, wagging his tail very fast.

"When will I start an outdoor live broadcast? With our technology, I will definitely have millions of fans. I'll find a job, right? Xiaohei!"

Jiang Xiaoye used a shovel to dig out another large, black river clam. He envied those masters who did outdoor live broadcasts and caught fish, and countless people called him 666.

"Woof?" Xiao Hei obviously couldn't understand what his little master said, but as a qualified farm dog, he still wagged his tail cooperatively.

It’ll be fine if you can have extra food tonight. Whatever the little master says is right!

Xiao Hei knew very well that from the big black river mussels, peel the shells and take out the meat, remove the internal organs and clean them, then add the bacon, winter bamboo shoots, green onions and garlic, stir-fry them out, and simmer them in a porcelain pot for an hour.

Not to mention how delicious it tastes, the little licking dog next door, Ah Huang, was so greedy that he cried!

The stream was clear and gurgling. Some small fish swam against the current, but they were frightened by Jiang Xiaoye's appearance and ran around.

Jiang Xiaoye looked at these scattered little fish and knew that it would take at least two years for these little fry to grow up.

When a small fry escaped, a black thing suddenly popped out from the bottom of the stream, swallowed it in one gulp, and then shrank back into the sand.

Jiang Xiaoye caught a glimpse of it, was startled, and then overjoyed.

Although the sudden appearance was short-lived, Jiang Xiaoye was sure that it was the head of an old turtle!

Some old turtles like to live in shallow streams, hiding themselves in the sand with only their mouths and eyes exposed. Once a small fish or shrimp comes close, they will swallow it up in one bite.

Jiang Xiaoye strode over and found what he expected.

The sediment in the creek is very clean, and the outline of the old turtle's body printed in the sediment can be clearly seen.

"Guigui, the outline of this turtle's shell is almost crushed by a small stone. How big is this turtle?"

As if aware of the approaching danger, the old turtle's head continued to shrink into the sand without leaving any trace.

"hey-hey!"

Xiaoye is the most experienced in catching turtles. The turtle is hidden in the mud. All you need to do is find its leg sockets and stick your fingers in. As long as it stays in the water, the turtle will not bite. After being pinched in its hind leg sockets, its head will shrink.

Don't dare to come out after entering the armor.

This kind of catching with bare hands is something most people in the village can do.

Jiang Xiaoye looked at the outline of the mud print and glanced at Xiao Hei. Xiao Hei obviously noticed that Jiang Xiaoye had found the prey. He didn't make a sound and squatted quietly waiting for his little master to fish out the delicious food.

It's time to show off your real skills!

It's a pity that I don't know how to live broadcast, otherwise it would not be a dream to earn 100,000 a month.

His hand reached into the mud and pinched the old turtle's leg. Before he could feel proud, Jiang Xiaoye felt a chill on his back. The old turtle's head lurking in the mud not only did not retract into its armor, but instead opened its mouth and bit fiercely.

Came over.

The sharp teeth flashed with cold light. Why does this turtle still have teeth?

The old turtle probed his head at an incredible speed. Jiang Xiaoye didn't have time to react, so he hit the target.

Feeling a sharp pain in his arm, Jiang Xiaoye screamed and pinched the old turtle's head.

The mouth of a turtle is usually made of two horny beaks, the upper and lower parts, and the bite force is also strong. After biting, it will vibrate hard. This old turtle with teeth...

Jiang Xiaoye felt that he was pinching a piece of hard wood, but the severe pain in his arm made him use more strength. This lasted for three seconds. The old turtle was pinched so hard that he opened his mouth and struggled wildly.

"Damn it!" Jiang Xiaoye cursed. His left arm was dripping with blood and almost had its flesh torn off. If he hadn't reacted quickly, it would have been a disaster.

"Let you bite me!"

Jiang Xiaoye waved his hand fiercely, and the old turtle hidden in the sand was pulled out and hit hard on the shore.

The old turtle was thrown ashore, but he turned over nimbly and crawled quickly.

Jiang Xiaoye stared, feeling incredible, but Xiao Hei reacted quickly. Seeing this situation, he rushed forward and bit the old turtle's head.

A slight clicking sound could even be heard.

The old turtle couldn't die anymore. His neck was almost broken by Jiang Xiaoye, and his head was bitten into pieces by Xiao Hei.

"What the hell? Is this a spirit?"

This was the first time Jiang Xiaoye had seen a turtle with fangs.

Xiao Hei seemed to be sucking, making threatening sounds from his whining mouth. Jiang Xiaoye thought at first that Xiao Hei was afraid that the turtle would not die and refused to let go, but he soon realized that something was wrong.

Xiao Hei seemed to be drinking something.

"Xiao Hei, what are you doing?" This guy can't suck blood, right? This dog can suck blood?

Xiao Hei quickly let go of his mouth, and the old turtle's head was bitten to bits.

"Woof woof woof!"

Xiao Hei barked several times at the threatening dog of the dead old turtle, wagging his tail and came up to have fun with Jiang Xiaoye.

"You bitch, Gungungun, didn't you see that I was hurt? What is this?"

Jiang Xiaoye kicked the old turtle, and when the old turtle's body was turned over, he didn't expect to find a strange-looking jade plaque on his abdomen.

Jade? Hetian jade? Antique?

He was still gritting his teeth in pain, but now he squatted down directly.

After careful observation, we found that the jade tablet was green all over, and the carving was extremely simple and exquisite. It was a landscape pattern surrounded by clouds and mist. I couldn't figure out how it was attached to the old turtle's abdomen.

Jiang Xiaoye stretched out his hand and carefully peeled it off a few times, and finally peeled off the jade plaque.

The jade tablet is small and exquisite in the hand, in the shape of an oval, with more than a dozen incomprehensible runes engraved on the back, like oracle bones.

"Damn it, if you get rich, it's not really an antique, right?"

Although Jiang Xiaoye didn't understand the ancient jade market, he had seen related news on the Internet. It was common for a piece of Hetian jade seed pendant to be sold for tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands or millions.

"Hey, why is the blood on my hand disappearing?" The wound on the palm of the hand bitten by the old turtle was dripping with blood, but Jiang Xiaoye suddenly discovered that the blood stains were disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

His hair suddenly stood up. Is this jade sucking blood? Before he could react, the light flashed and the jade plaque disappeared, as if it had never appeared.

Jiang Xiaoye's hands shook and he sat down on the ground in fright.

The breeze blew by, and a layer of cold sweat broke out all over my body.

"Let's go home!"

After a long time, he put on his slippers, lifted up the bamboo basket, glanced at the strange dead old turtle on the ground, gritted his teeth and threw it into the bamboo basket.

"Woof woof woof!" In the fading sunset, a person and a dog ran quickly towards home.

In the evening, a simple farmhouse at the foot of the mountain.

Under the tall osmanthus tree, Jiang Xiaoye and his family had dinner around the stone table.

Jiang Xiaoye drank the old turtle soup deliciously. After drinking several bowls in one breath, he still felt extremely delicious and felt comfortable all over.

"Eat more meat. This turtle is so big. It's a pity that it's dead. Otherwise, it would be fine to sell it for a few hundred yuan." Father Jiang Yunshan drank some wine and ate old turtle meat.

"A few hundred yuan? I would have sold it to buy a few kilograms of meat." When my mother Li Lan heard this, she glanced at the old turtle in the small basin with some distress.

"What do you know? This nutritional value is very high. Eat it all quickly and don't waste it. Xiaoye, drink less soup and eat more meat."

This is an old turtle that has been wild for at least several decades. If it were sold, it would cost thousands of dollars, right? Jiang Xiaoye didn't say this, otherwise his mother would be so distressed that she would not be able to sleep.

Xiao Hei squatted under the stone table, eagerly waiting for his little master to throw bones into his dog's plate. This turtle really had a lot of bones, and his tail was wagging wildly as he ate them.

In the end, the old turtle was eaten by the whole family and no meat was left. They even drank the soup without any waste. The only thing left was the complete turtle shell.

"Let's go for a walk, take a walk outside, and take a look at the fruit trees in the orchard." Jiang Yunshan felt like his whole body was getting hot, and couldn't help but praise: "This old turtle is really tonic."

Jiang Xiaoye was different. He felt sleepy after eating. After washing, he was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes. He went back to the house and lay down.

"Get out of here. If you dare to run into bed, I'll kill you."

Jiang Xiaoye glanced at Xiao Hei who was hiding under the bed, threatened him fiercely, and then fell into a deep sleep.

…

Surrounded by thousands of green mountains, green stones are wrapped with ivy.

In an inconspicuous and dilapidated mountain temple, incense smoke curled up, edifying the statue of a mountain god that was less than one meter tall.

The mountains were shrouded in clouds and mist, like a fairy spirit, and an old man holding a sword walked slowly over. He had white hair and a face like a baby, and his skin was like that of a baby. His clothes were also extremely weird.

The mahogany sword in his hand was used as a crutch.

With a gourd pendant hanging on her head, wearing silver ancient clothes, and a jade plaque hanging around her waist, she walked to the edge of the cliff and looked up at the sky.
