Chapter 143 Digging out a Big Turtle

More than a dozen young men worked for Zhang Taiping, and none of them cheated, cheated, or cheated. Zhang Taiping supplied cigarettes and tea every day. The villagers were honest and honest. They felt that the wages were a lot and they still had cigarettes and tea. They all worked very hard. , More than half of it was dug in just five days, and it seems that the digging will be completed in less than ten days.

Wang Peng and Zhang Taiping had been outside for a period of time before, and he knew how to get along with punks and young people best. In two or three days, he got mixed up with a few boys who drove excavators.During the break in the middle, Wang Peng was spanking and chatting with Wu Gang, when suddenly an eagle crowed in the sky.

Wu Gang looked up at the eagle spreading its wings in the sky and asked in surprise, "What is that? Is it an eagle?"

Wang Peng said triumphantly: "It is an eagle, but this eagle has been tamed. Who are you who tamed this eagle?"

Wu Gang had an idea and said hesitantly: "Could it be a handsome guy?"

"You guessed it right. Last winter, I don't know that goddamn man shot and wounded the eagle's wings. Fortunately, he was tamed after being rescued by the elder brother. Now his name is Xiaojin."

Wu Gang looked enviously at Xiao Jin who was circling and gradually falling towards Zhang Taiping's room.Not to mention in the city, in the countryside, many people are already proud of owning a mighty big dog. As for taming an eagle, it is just a matter of thought, and few people can do it.It is the dream of every man who has lived in the mountains to lead the dog.

"It's still holding something in its paws." Xiao Jin lowered his head and said to Wang Peng after Wu Gang saw clearly.

As if the eagle was his own, Wang Peng said with great honor: "Well, Xiaojin basically doesn't need big brother to feed him, he forages for food by himself, and he can catch one or two prey. I think it looks like a rabbit, you guys are lucky today, sister-in-law's stewed rabbit meat is the best."

The two parrots that had mysteriously disappeared for a few days also appeared, flying around the heads of the crowd and shouting "eat, eat".

The villagers who heard it all laughed, saying that what these two guys said could not be taken seriously.

Wu Gang asked in amazement again: "This bird can speak human language? This bird can speak human language." It was obviously shocked and a little emotional.

Wang Peng said with a little contempt: "This bird is called a parrot, and it can talk a lot, and it is also raised in the eldest brother's house."

"It's also in the handsome guy's house?" Wu Gang was really convinced by Zhang Taiping that he could raise so many extraordinary animals.

When eating at noon, the boys were very fond of Xiao Jin standing on the roof, but they didn't dare to get too close to him, throwing the meat in their bowls from a distance.It's just that the proud Xiao Jin squinted his eyes and stood on the eaves, ignoring the things thrown over him.At home, Xiaojin can only eat what Zhang Taiping personally feeds, let alone these strangers.

Ten mu of land is not a small amount, and the soil dug up by three meters will almost cover the northern half slope of the barren mountain in the south.

On the ninth day, it was almost over, and there was only half an acre of land near the foot of the barren hill.It's close to a barren mountain, and there are a lot of rocks underneath, so it's not as easy to dig as it was a few days ago.When digging to a depth of two meters, the soil underneath became wet.The old village head who has been wandering around as a free supervisor went over and looked at it and said that there is a source of water below.

He said to a villager next to him, "Go and call the commander."

After Zhang Taiping came over, the old village head asked: "Water may be dug out here, are you going to dig?"

Hearing that water can be dug out, Zhang Taiping was overjoyed immediately. It would be the best thing if there is a living water source under the pond: "Dig it, why not dig it, wouldn't it be better to have a water source, the pond must have a water source. good."

The village head said: "Let's dig, but now we can't dig here first, we need to clean up the other places first, otherwise the water will flow everywhere, and it will be difficult to work elsewhere."

Zhang Taiping nodded, and the excavator went to dig elsewhere first.It was not until the evening that all the other places were dug and connected with the southern hillside. When the pond was filled with water, it could overflow directly to the foot of the hill.Only the small piece where there might be a water source was not in a hurry to dig at night.

Early the next morning, after light, the digging began.When we dug to a depth of three meters, the soil was indeed more humid, but there was no water yet. When we dug to a depth of four meters, it was not as wet as it was when we dug to a depth of three meters.The young man who was digging stopped and waited for Zhang Taiping's opinion.

Zhang Taiping thought for a while, when the land was three meters wet, it meant that there was a water source, but when it was four meters, it was not as wet as when it was three meters, which meant that the water source was not directly below.He fell into the four-meter-deep pit and touched the surrounding soil walls. When he got up, he said to the young man who was digging, "Just dig in the direction of the barren hill from the depth of three meters."

Sure enough, his guess was correct.The more you dig into the mountain, the wetter the soil you dig out, and when you dig in a distance of two meters, a little water starts to seep out.

Zhang Taiping waved his hand and said, "Just follow here and dig in until a big water hole is dug out."

This is an old man next to him who also watched the excitement and said: "This is going to be dug into the mountain. It is best for the commander to pay respect to the mountain god before digging, so as to avoid any accidents."

The digging boy looked at Zhang Taiping and followed his orders.The village head next to him and several other people are also in the group Zhang Taiping, it is better to sue the mountain god first.

Some customs exist because of their origin and culture, and Zhang Taiping didn't want to violate them, so he said to the young man, "Then wait a moment and worship the mountain god." Then he went to prepare things himself, such as incense and firecrackers.

After worshiping the mountain god, most people in the village felt relieved and dug several meters deep into the mountain. The water inside could already flow out. At this moment, they heard the iron claws of the excavator clinking On to the hard stuff.

The young man said: "Maybe he dug into the big rock inside." The young man continued to dig in a few times, as if he had dug through the stone wall blocking the groundwater, and the groundwater gushed out.

The old village chief watched from the side and said: "The water hole is not small. I don't think there is any need to divert water from the river to the pond. The groundwater is completely enough."

Just talking, the village head suddenly let out a "huh", because the water that was still turbulent just now suddenly subsided.Looking inside, I saw that the gap where the water was still leaking just now was blocked by a textured pebble.

The young man who was digging said: "It's okay, it's just a stone blocking the water hole, just dig it out." He said and controlled the iron claw to dig up the big stone and pour it on the rare earth that was dug up by pushing it next to it.Sure enough, it was the stone that blocked the water hole, and the water immediately returned to its previous state after being dug out.

Everyone was praising this Shuiyan, congratulating Zhang Taiping one after another, but they heard a scream behind them.

Zhang Taiping was startled, it was Fan Ming's voice, he quickly turned around and ran to Fan Ming's side, only to see her sitting on the ground, pointing at the big textured rock with her fingers in horror superior.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Taiping asked while helping her up.

"It, there's something in it." Still looking terrified.Just now everyone was looking at the spring, and she felt that the stone with patterns was interesting, so she wanted to observe and observe, but unexpectedly saw a scene that shocked her, the stone was moving

Zhang Taiping was surprised, how could there be something inside a stone, he squatted next to him and observed carefully, his expression gradually became serious after careful inspection, the texture on it was not chaotic, but seemed to have a plan, just thought He wanted to rub off the sand on it with his hands and take a closer look, but suddenly felt something protruding out of the "stone" like lightning, he quickly retracted his hand, and the thing protruding out of the lightning came out of the "stone" calmly. Shrunk in again.

"Good guy!" Zhang Taiping couldn't help shouting.What kind of rock is this? It is clearly a turtle.When it was dug up, it was mixed in the thin sand and the real appearance could not be seen clearly. Moreover, it was dug out in the mountain, so people thought it was just a big rock with texture. No one would think it was a turtle.

Zhang Taiping's shouts attracted the villagers, and they all gathered around, staring at this special "stone" curiously.

The village chief asked, "Marshal, what's the matter?"

"It's not a rock, it's a turtle." Zhang Taiping replied.

"Turtle?" "Why did the tortoise run into the mountains?" Everyone felt incredible.

Wang Peng wanted to go forward and poke with his right hand, Zhang Taiping hurriedly said: "Be careful of being bitten." Just kidding, the speed of that head sticking out was as fast as lightning, it was on Zhang Tianping, if it was on someone else's body, he would be sure to hide If you don't open it, not everyone can touch it.If he was bitten by a turtle and his hand was pulled into the shell, it would be a bit intrusive to think about it, so Wang Peng smiled sarcastically and dared not go forward.

Zhang Taiping took a shovel from the side, and picked out the "stone" as big as a millstone from the sand, and it really wasn't as heavy as a stone.Now everyone can see clearly that this is really a tortoise shell, but the rest of the parts are shrunk inside the tortoise shell, so it can't be seen clearly.They all sighed how such a big tortoise got into the ground.There is little water in the north, and it is not easy to meet a little turtle, let alone such a perverted big guy.

Scooped a basin of water and poured it on the tortoise shell as big as a millstone. Its head came out and shrank back in. It was really a tortoise shell, a good place to defend the tortoise.

The sand on the back was washed away, and the texture became clear. The color of the turtle shell was similar to that of the rock, giving people a sense of simplicity and vicissitudes, which must have been formed after a long time of carving.Zhang Taiping vaguely feels like a seal character, but the people here don't have much research on ancient Chinese characters, and they can't see anything.

The old village head said: "Invite the two old men here."

Everyone in the village knew who the two old men were referring to, and a few half-grown boys scattered in a hurry, but they went to call someone.
