Literary life with cute baby

Chapter 246 Withered Leaf Turtle

Grandma said that there are two tortoises living in the small pond. One is the pig-nosed tortoise. This is the earliest aborigine. There are seven of them. Tangtanger used to make friends with the little tortoises of this family.

This year, another family of tortoises, the dead leaf tortoise, is raised. There are only two, one male and one female. They are a newlywed couple.

Tang Shuang lured it out with bait, uh, no, it was Candy who called out affectionately. It was a family of pig-nosed turtles. The whole family was dispatched. Seven small animals swam up and down the water, stretching and contracting, and eating the bait floating on the water.

Tang Tanger stood by the pond, so excited that she couldn't help herself, her face was full of surprises, she kept pointing at a certain one, and happily said to Tang Shuang, "Look! That's Gui Xiaoqi~" "Hey, that's Turtle Five~"

As for the two parents of the Pig-nosed Turtle family, they are Freshman Turtle and Sophomore Turtle, followed by Junior Turtle and Fourth Turtle...

Freshmen and sophomores are a bit bigger than the tortoises of the juniors. This is easy to distinguish, but Tang Shuang can't tell who is the freshman and who is the sophomore. Grandma said that the male is the freshman and the female is the freshman. Two, but the problem is that Tang Shuang can't tell which is male and which is female.

As for how Candy distinguishes them, especially Xiaosan and Xiaosi, they are all the same no matter how you look at them.

Ask if you don't understand, Tang Shuang humbly asked Tang Tanger, the girl tilted her head and thought for a long time, then laughed awkwardly: "Hmph! Anyway, I know each other, and I don't know how."

In fact, it is nonsense.

Tang Shuang: "It's amazing, it's amazing!"

Candy was sitting on a rock by the bank, resting her chin on her face, watching the pig-nosed turtle family eat with relish. The warm sunlight leaked from the treetops, hit the pond, and fell on her body.

Little Pig muttered and began to tell stories to the little tortoises, about the race between the tortoise and the hare.

This is a story that praises the tortoise's perseverance and tenacity. The prime minister was delighted to hear the tortoise's face, so he graciously let the eldest son of the family, that is, tortoise Xiaosan, go to the pond to chat and play with this big man on the shore.

Tangtanger was pleasantly surprised to see the third turtle paddling to the edge of the pond, quickly squatted down, and tried to get as close as possible to the third turtle, touched the back of the turtle lightly with her little hand, muttered, and started the mysterious crossing racial exchange.

Tang Shuang stood aside and did not dare to leave, worried about Tangtang'er's safety, mainly because she was afraid that she would jump into the pond and play with Prime Minister Gui's family.

She can do this kind of thing.

While Tang Shuang didn't disturb Tangtanger and Gui Xiaosan's communication, he also wanted to hear what they were talking about. He was very curious about this kind of mysticism.

So he walked slowly behind Tangtanger like a thief, and heard the little piggy chatting with Gui Xiaosan about the past half a year in a childish voice.

Little Pig asked Gui Xiaosan what they have been doing for the past six months, if there is anything interesting to tell her, and if they have remembered their agreement...

Still have an agreement?What agreement?Tang Shuang was very curious.

Fortunately, Candy didn't keep him waiting for a long time, and the little piglet talked about the agreement again.

"Grandma is sick, she has a lot of white hair, you must remember our agreement, help me keep them well, don't let grandma get sick again, Xiaoshuang said that it is very dangerous for the old man to get sick..."

Tang Shuang: ...

I really can't underestimate children. It's not that they don't understand anything. On the contrary, they actually know a lot. They can see it in their eyes, hide it in their hearts, and just don't say it.

After Tangtang'er finished asking Gui Xiaosan, she began to introduce her events of the past six months. Most of these events were happy, but some were not so pleasant.

When she talks about these things, she will mix many of her own thoughts and thoughts in it.

Tang Shuang listened quietly for a while, and suddenly Tangtang turned her head. He quickly pretended to lower his head to play with his mobile phone, but he was still a step late and was discovered.

Candy pointed at him angrily and said, "You eavesdrop on others!"

Tang Shuang: "I didn't." Seeing her innocently with big eyes, she couldn't tell a lie, so she said, "I heard a little bit, I'm sorry, I'll walk away."

"Humph!"

Seeing that Xiaoshuang had gone far away, Tangtanger turned around and continued chatting with Gui Xiaosan, but within ten seconds, she repeated the same trick and suddenly turned her head to see if Tang Xiaoshuang was eavesdropping again.

However, Tang Shuang was still far away. He was picking up the broken branches nearby. The wind and rain last night seemed a bit heavy. Not only did many flowers and leaves fall on the ground, but many branches were also blown off.

Tangtanger then continued to chat with confidence...

I don't know how long it took, grandpa came to ask her if she wanted to go to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables together.

Tangtanger looked at his grandfather, at the little turtle at his feet, and at the Prime Minister Turtle's family paddling around in the pond, what should we do?She was reluctant to do both.

"Grandpa, Grandpa, can you wait for Candy for half an hour, I want to say goodbye to Prime Minister Gui's family."

Grandpa asked suspiciously: "What is Prime Minister Turtle?"

Tangtanger pointed to the big tortoise in the pond and said, "It's the big tortoise, Xiaoshuang taught me."

Tangtanger asked again: "Grandpa, grandma said there are other little turtles in the pond. Where are they? Why didn't I see them?"

"Hide it, do you want to see it? Shall we look for it together?"

Immediately, the two of them went around the pond looking for the dead leaf turtle.

Withered leaf turtle, as the name suggests, resembles a dead leaf, and likes to stay still, much quieter than the pig-nosed turtle.

Tangtang'er heard that another family's tortoise was like a leaf, and she was stunned for a moment. A tortoise like a leaf is too strange. She has never seen or heard of it.

"Why does it grow like a leaf?"

Uh, this question is too professional, but it doesn’t bother my grandfather. He has taught nature and usually likes to read books of this type.

The two dead leaf turtles in the pond were bought by my grandfather, so I have some knowledge about this turtle species, so I explained it to Tangtanger in detail.

One old and one young, holding hands, while explaining, while walking slowly around the small pond.

Tang Shuang wanted to disguise herself as a child's paper, and also leaned beside her grandpa to listen to the lecture, but as soon as she walked over, she was glared back by Tang Tanger. Little Zhuzhu has a big heart, and at this time she just wants to dominate grandpa by herself. I don't want to share it with him.

Grandpa said: "Tangtang, in fact, there are not only turtles that look like dead leaves, but also fish that look like dead leaves."

Tangtanger held her head high, eyes full of surprise, she never expected that nature would be so wonderful, there are turtles that look like pig noses, turtles that look like dead leaves, and small fish.

"Are the tortoise and the little fish a family?"

Grandpa: "Of course they are not a family. One is a turtle and the other is a fish. They are not the same species."

A new question came, Tangtanger asked: "I look the same as my sister, my sister looks the same as my mother, my mother looks the same as my grandmother, we are a family, so why are the turtles and Xiaoyu not the same family?" people?"

Grandpa thought for a while and said, "This is the magic of nature. Although they all look like dead leaves, the dead leaves they resemble are different."

As he said that, grandpa picked off a leaf from the peach tree beside him, and a leaf from a vine entwining the peach tree, handed it to Tangtanger, and said, "Tangtanger, look, are these two leaves different?" .”

Candy held it in his hand, and looked at it carefully. When Grandpa saw this, he patiently explained to her the differences between the two leaves...

The two stopped and went, walking around the small pond for countless times. There are a hundred thousand reasons for Candy. There is endless curiosity in the melon seeds in her little head. Normally, no one can explain to her in Old Tang's house. , and only grandpa, who has a wealth of knowledge, is super patient, and enjoys it.

Just as the two were chatting about whether the little ant would sleep at night, there was a sudden popping sound in the small pond, and there was a splash of water...

Candy stared closely at the place where the water splashed, and said, "There are little fish!"

However, she did not see the little fish.

"Little fish?"

Grandpa smiled and said, "Didn't you, Tangtang, always want to find the withered leaf turtle? It was the withered leaf turtle that was hunting for food just now."
