portable space

As soon as she woke up in the morning, Fan Ming found that the big turtle was missing. She ran to Zhang Taiping and the old man who were doing morning exercises and said hurriedly: "The big turtle is gone and the rope is untied."

The old man didn't know why and looked at Zhang Taiping.

After Zhang Taiping finished practicing his boxing, he put away his hand and said, "I put it into the water last night."

The old man didn't have any objections to Zhang Taiping's approach. Although the longevity turtle was valuable, it was an external possession after all, and it was no big deal if he let it go.

Fan Ming was puzzled. He tilted his head and asked, "Why did you put it in the water? What if it escaped from the hole in the ground again?"

"I can't escape. I've blocked the place with something. Only water can flow out, but the big turtle can't get in." In fact, Zhang Taiping had blocked some holes there, but he was just confident that the water wouldn't escape because the turtle was stuck in the space.

I just wanted to leave, but I couldn't tell her so blatantly, so I made up an excuse casually.

Fan Ming was relieved: "Does that mean it's still in the pond?"

"Yes." Zhang Taiping nodded. Fan Ming turned around and ran out again.

After Zhang Taiping practiced boxing and kicking, he took a cold shower and went outside. The whole wasteland had changed drastically. After a night of filling, the pond was now mostly filled with water, but it was a little turbid and the bottom of the pond could not be seen.

The pond that covers one third of the wasteland is very monotonous now. When the temperature gets a little warmer in a while, trees or flowers can be planted around it, and it will be a good place in summer.

Fan Ming was looking around the pond, constantly breaking off a piece of steamed bun from his hand and throwing it into the water. However, he was looking for the big turtle and wanted to use the steamed bun to lure the big turtle out. Yaya and several others were following behind him.

As a boy, he kept throwing pebbles and other things to frighten the turtle.

Zhang Taiping didn't find it funny. Although the turtle looks kind and moves slowly and cannot effectively hunt for food, just like a herbivore, everything is just a performance on land; it is a genuine carnivore, and it is a carnivore in the water.

Its swimming speed is no worse than that of ordinary fish, and its head is as fast as lightning. Few small animals such as fish and shrimps can escape it, so it doesn't have to worry about food at all in the water.

Squatting on the edge of the pond, Zhang Taiping put his hand into the water and secretly put some space spring water into the pond water. The spring water spread around, and soon he heard the sound of water breaking, and the Fushou turtle was holding a big shell.

The child emerged from the bottom of the water, sucked in the water that Zhang Taiping had just put in, and then chased the spreading spring water nearby. Animals are more sensitive than humans. Although they cannot see it, they can sense it.

Fan Ming and the boys and girls who were still wandering around the opposite side saw the big turtle emerging from Zhang Taiping, and they all ran over.

"It really didn't escape. How did you call it out? It didn't come out no matter how I called it." Fan Ming ran over and asked Zhang Taiping breathlessly.

"Pat the water and it will come out." Zhang Taiping said casually.

I don’t know if Fan Ming believed it or not. Anyway, he didn’t dwell on this issue anymore: “Now this big turtle belongs to our family, right?”

Zhang Taiping looked at the Fushou Turtle in the water, smiled, nodded and said, "That's right, what's the matter?"

"Since it is now a member of our family, it must have a name."

"Oh? What good name did you think of?" Zhang Taiping asked with a smile.

"The stone, its whole body is gray-green, not much different from the color of the rock, and when it was first dug up, people regarded it as a big stone, so it is called a 'rock'. Hehe, how about it?

?”

Zhang Taiping nodded. The name is just a mark, as long as it can be distinguished. And since she is so interested, she should be called by this name.

Yaya broke the steamed buns in her hand into pieces and threw them next to the rock, but the rock was not interested at all. It just raised its head and stared at Zhang Taiping. Zhang Daping laughed and cursed: "You are really greedy."

No spring water was added to the pond water.

At this time, a boy who was two years older than Yaya asked: "Uncle handsome, can this turtle have a hunchback on its back?"

Zhang Taiping said jokingly: "Yes, do you want to stand on it and try it?"

The boy shook his head like a rattle: "No, no."

Ah Huang and the lion ran from the yard to the edge of the pond, roaring at the rock. When Zhang Taiping tied the rock to the tree yesterday, the two of them screamed and pounced on it when they saw the huge rock, but the rock saw the opportunity quickly.

The whole body was shrunk in the shell, and the two big dogs pounced on it, but they couldn't do anything. The big turtle shell was harder than a stone, and it couldn't be bitten. It was really a tiger with no way to bite it. Now.

The rocks are in the water, and the two dogs can't do anything.

Seeing that Zhang Taiping no longer released the space spring water and that the two dogs came again, Rock sank into the water and disappeared.

Yaya gathered a bunch of boys and the little girl watched it interestingly. Unexpectedly, Ah Huang and the lion scared the rock away after they arrived, and angrily pulled the ears of the lion and Ah Huang. When the two dogs saw their little master, they got angry and lay down.

He was squeaking on the ground, but he didn't know where he was wrong, and the expression on his face was quite aggrieved.

When a group of children saw that there was no big turtle to see, they went elsewhere to play.

At noon, a guest came to the village. He was led by the village chief to Zhang Taiping's house. This was a middle-aged man in his thirties, dressed elegantly and like a successful person. When he came, he was very polite.

Driving a car, there was a man with a scar on his face next to him, who was just a little groveling to the middle-aged man, and followed timidly by a young man from the village.

Zhang Taiping searched his memory to make sure that he did not have this person in his mind. He was a little surprised as to why he was asked by name.

After the middle-aged man arrived at Zhang Taiping's yard, he scanned the yard and pond, stretched out his hand and said, "My name is Fan Qiang. I heard that Mr. Zhang dug out a Fushou turtle yesterday and came to visit it."

Zhang Taiping shook hands with him, and then he understood the purpose of this group of people. The young man in the village behind must have told the news to these two people, otherwise they would not have known it so quickly. Zhang Taiping glanced at the young man at the back.

He smiled and said to the middle-aged man who called himself Fan Qiang: "What's wrong with this? It's a trivial matter." He originally had the idea of ​​raising this longevity turtle to attract people from outside, but now someone came and asked to visit.

Of course Zhang Taiping was happy. But the young man who he glanced at shrank his neck and stood back, further away from Zhang Taiping.

A group of people came to the pond. It had just been dug yesterday. There was no construction plan for the anniversary. It was as simple as a pool of water accumulated in a hole on the ground, with no ornamental value. Fan Ming and Xing Rushui heard that someone

I came to watch the lucky turtle, and I came out of the village house to see what was going on. Scarface was shocked when he saw the two girls, his eyes were unconcealed, but he restrained himself when he remembered that there were still middle-aged people standing next to him.

.Although the middle-aged man Fan Qiang was also surprised that there was such an outstanding woman in the small mountain village, his eyes were just surprised and there was no unnecessary expression.

Fan Ming was quite disgusted by the look in the scar-faced man's eyes. He frowned and shrank away from Xing Rushui, and a cold light flashed in Xing Rushui's eyes.

Zhang Taiping put his hand into the water and used space to lure the rock up. Sure enough, the rock surfaced after a while. After swallowing the space spring water that Zhang Taiping put in the pond, it floated there and looked up at everyone. It was now interested in people.

Not so scared anymore.

After Fan Qiang saw the rock the size of a millstone, an expression of joy flashed on his face, and then he squatted down and looked at it carefully for more than ten minutes, mostly studying the patterns on the back of the rock, and also took out his camera to take a few pictures

photo.

After working like no one, he stood up with a sigh of relief and said, "I wonder if Mr. Zhang has any idea of ​​selling it?" Without waiting for Zhang Taiping to answer, he added, "The price is negotiable, and you will definitely be satisfied."

Zhang Taiping shook his head and said: "I have no idea of ​​selling it yet."

"Five hundred thousand!" Fan Qiang said confidently.

Zhang Taiping frowned and said, "You can visit it, but if you want to buy it, don't tell me."

Fan Qiang also frowned: "One million!" He directly doubled the price. In his opinion, the reason why Zhang Taiping didn't sell was because he was waiting for a price. One million for a rural person is an astronomical sum.

Numbers. It’s not that he looks down on the countryside or farmers, but the height of a person determines the scenery he sees. Moreover, this is almost like an unexpected amount of money from winning a lottery. It should be difficult for a rural person to refuse one million.

Temptation. This has nothing to do with looking down upon, but a kind of confidence.

Zhang Taiping smiled and shook his head without saying anything.

"Two million!" Fan Qiang continued to bid. In his opinion, the big man didn't relent because he had a big appetite, and this Fushou turtle, or to be precise, the contents of the Fushou turtle's body were very important to him, and it didn't matter.

I patiently increased the price little by little and doubled it again.

Zhang Taiping was so angry that he ignored him and turned to the village chief and asked: "Have you had lunch, uncle?"

The village chief was so shocked that he was speechless at the price Fan Qiang offered. Just yesterday, he was just a man. This big turtle was worth ten or twenty thousand at most. He would never have thought that it was his imagination.

A hundred times as much. But at this price, Zhang Taiping must have a deep meaning for not taking action yet, so he didn’t say anything about just watching the changes. When he heard Zhang Taiping’s question, he replied numbly: “I just ate it.

"
