Chapter 258 Old Turtle

 The fish, loaches, etc. in the ditch were originally public property. When they were about to dry up, the team leader organized people to fish for them. The remaining ones can be caught.

Li Jing ignored the other captured babies and told Jiang Xiaoya not to go into the pit, but to go down alone.

The mud was very deep, so Li Jing didn't knit her trousers, so she just took off her shoes and stepped in.

There were indeed many loaches and very small crucian carp in the ditch that was less than knee deep. Li Jing took the small bucket she had just made and pushed it into the ditch. When she picked it up again, there were four or five small crucian carp. Into the bucket.

Li Jing picked out the crucian carp and threw it onto the waterless mud before continuing to catch it.



The small water ditch that has been caught and the water is too shallow. There is no big goods, but it is an unexpected surprise to catch a small old man.

When Li Jing dug the old turtle out of its muddy nest, several children who were struggling to catch it were a little far away from her and ran over to take a look, shouting and screaming.

Be it fish, loach or eel, they are not uncommon. Although Li Jing caught enough, they only made a few children envious. Only such big old turtles were not seen by the children very often.

 “This is an old turtle, a turtle, so big...”

 “There is actually an old turtle hiding in our pit.”

 “My mother said that Lao Turtle is an old god.”

 “Your mother lied to you!”

This old turtle retracted its head after being pulled out by Li Jing.

Several children came over to take a look. Li Jing did not stop them, so they turned the old turtle over and over. The old turtle quietly peeked out and retracted when touched. It was very funny to shrink back and forth.

Jiang Xiaoya was watching quietly on the shore. She was not interested in the old turtle she caught. She kept holding her chin and watching Li Jing busy at work.

Li Jing caught a lot of loaches, and when they had enough to eat, he stopped. He threw the crucian carp, loaches, and eels on the mud and put them all into the bucket, and finally went to pack the old turtles.

"I took this thing away. If you want to eat it, let your parents catch it."

　　　…”

The children stopped poking and patting the old turtle and looked at Li Jing in unison, each one dumbfounded.

eat?

Li Jing walked over with one foot deep and one foot shallow. The children pushed each other and I pushed each other. Li Jing didn't care what kind of look they made. She picked up the old turtle and threw it into her bucket.

The "thud" sound of a heavy object falling to the ground made several children stare at Li Jing. Li Jing was puzzled and asked: "What?"

One of the babies was Xiao Shitou. Seeing Li Jing's face full of confusion, he said weakly: "Auntie, the old turtle needs to be released and cannot be eaten."

Li Jing blinked, "Who said that?"

Li Jing doesn’t quite understand that old turtles can’t eat it. Why can’t they eat it?

“My grandma and others said that the old turtle is a mascot and cannot be killed.”

“Yes, yes, my grandma said that when she saw this, she even asked me to kowtow.”

 “This is the old god.”

 The kids talked to each other, which made Li Jing frown slightly.

This stuff is very filling when stewed in soup. Wouldn’t it be too wasteful to catch it and not eat it?

Xiao Shitou saw that Li Jing didn't seem to give up the idea of ​​eating the old turtle, so he said something weakly.

“Auntie, if you are known to eat old turtles, you will...”

Before Xiao Shitou finished speaking, Li Jing understood what he meant.

If someone really found out that she ate the mascot, the whole village would look at her strangely and distance themselves from her.

Li Jing said "hmm" thoughtfully, "I don't want to eat it, I'll take it back and keep it."

 As for whether it is really necessary to raise it when you bring it back...

 Let’s take it back first and then talk about it.

Li Jing carried the bucket and called Jiang Xiaoya to rush home.

Not long after she left, word spread that she wanted to eat the old turtle.

 There are really no secrets in the village.
