Literary life with cute baby

Chapter 247
The mysterious dead leaf turtle appeared!
Candy was very surprised, opened her eyes wide, but it was not enough, she took off her grandfather's hand, pressed her lower eyelids with both hands, and opened her eyes wide again, but she still couldn't see the dead leaf turtle.

Grandpa signaled Tangtanger to walk gently with him, and the two tiptoed forward three steps, squatting lightly by the pond, right in the pond water at their feet, among a pile of rocks, on a pile of dead leaves, A dead leaf turtle the size of a candy palm lay quietly on its stomach.

Under the instruction of grandpa, Tangtanger finally found this tortoise that was camouflaged to the extreme. If it hadn't just stretched out its head to prey, grandpa would not have been able to find it.

This is a turtle who thinks he is a dead leaf.

Candy said with a smile: "Wow! It's so cute and fun, why is it motionless, isn't it shy?"

Grandpa said it is not shy, it just likes to stay still.

Tangtanger thought for a while and said, "I know! It is the same as Xiaoshuang, it likes to be lazy and sleeps."

Candy asked again: "What was it doing just now? Was it playing with water?"

"It's hunting!"

"Huh? What kind of hunting are you hunting?"

Grandpa looked around and saw a group of small fish swimming among the fallen leaves at the bottom of the water, so he pointed to Candy and said, "The group of small fish didn't find the dead leaf turtle just now, so they swam to it. When the turtle sees a small fish, it stretches its neck, opens its mouth wide, and eats the small fish in one gulp."

Tangtanger looked at the naughty and cute little fish, and couldn't bear to say: "Oh, the dry leaf turtle is a villain, how could the little fish eat them when they are so cute."

After finishing speaking, Tangtang rolled up his sleeves, and wanted to reach into the pond, grab the withered leaf turtle and question it. If he didn't tell the truth, he could not rule out the possibility of beating him up.

Grandpa stopped her, but he didn't dare to let her catch the withered leaf turtle, it would bite and cry children.

Tangtang pouted, a little unhappy, she thought the little turtles were very friendly and perfect little animals, it should be just like what she imagined, but she didn't want to cruelly eat small fish and shrimp.

Grandpa said: "Tangtang, nature is like this. The dead leaf turtle eats small fish, not because it is bad, but because it has always eaten small fish and shrimp. They are born to eat this, just like you, when you are born You need milk, you need to eat, it’s all the same.”

Candy said, "But I don't eat small fish."

You have fish and shrimp for lunch!
But the little girl doesn't understand the biological chain, so she can only explain it in words she can understand.

Candy asked again: "What about the dead leaf fish that grandpa said? Dead leaf fish will never eat small fish and shrimp, right? I'm going to like dead leaf fish."

It's a pity that grandpa said that the dead leaf fish also eats small fish. Like the dead leaf turtle, it disguises itself as a dead leaf, waits for the small fish to swim to it, and then eats it in one bite.

Candy decides not to play with the withered leaf turtle, but to play with Prime Minister Turtle's family.

Grandpa didn't tell Tang Tanger that Prime Minister Gui's family also ate small fish and shrimp.

The small fish and shrimps raised in the pond are food for the little turtles.

Seeing that Tangtanger didn't like it, grandpa stopped talking about turtles, but taught Tangtanger to recognize the small animals in the pond.

For example, the small snails attached to the edge of the pond, they crawl along the pond gently and slowly.

There are also clumsy caddis worms, which float to the surface of the water dragging their small sheaths, climb up the aquatic plants, and then stick their front bodies out of the sheaths.Some of them lie leisurely on the water plants and bask in the sun, and some dive into the bottom of the water and swim to their heart's content.

There is also a lively water beetle, which has a chest wing, shining in the sun, like a mighty general.

There are also a bunch of shining beetles. They are the most cheerful, active and energetic creatures in the pond. They are dancing all day long, which is completely different from the quietness of the turtles.

Of course, the most indispensable thing in the pond is the white-bellied frog.

"Aw~"

"Huh? There are frogs?!"

Candy immediately ran over bling bling, searching for the source of the sound.

The last time I stayed in the woods with Tang Shuang and listened to the singing of frogs all night, but because of the darkness and the size of Aixi Lake, I didn’t even look at any of the frogs. I only heard the sound but not the frogs. It is extremely uncomfortable to be hungry for candies.

The pond at my grandmother's house is very small, and I can see the other side clearly from one side of the bank, so it's not too difficult to find the frogs hiding in it.

Soon Tangtanger found a green-skinned frog in a few wisps of water grass on the bank, and Xiao Niuniu squatted on the bank with a smile, looking at it non-stop, then suddenly stretched out her hand to grab it in the water, trying to catch it out play with it.

But she moved too slowly, and the frog disappeared with a swipe.

Tangtang'er withdrew her hand in disappointment, not reconciled, standing on the bank muttering, her big eyes aiming wildly, trying to find the frog again.

The frog was obviously frightened, and he didn't know where to hide it. No matter how hard he looked for the candy, he never saw it again.

Candy: "Grandpa! Why do frogs like to croak? What are they doing?"

Grandpa took out a handkerchief, helped the little girl dry her hands, and said with a smile, "Maybe he is telling stories to the little turtles, little fish, little shrimps, and little snails in the pond."

"Huh? Why?"

Candy asked with her curious little head held high.

Grandpa touched her little head and said: "Once a little fish met a frog in the pond and asked the frog what it was like on the bank. The frog wanted to carry the little fish to the bank to have a look, but the little fish couldn't leave the water. "

"The frog thought for a while, and said, I will tell you the story on the shore every day. On the first day, the frog told the little fish about a butterfly it met on the shore. The butterfly is so beautiful, not only the little fish likes it, but also the little fish I like shrimp and small snails."

"So, more and more small animals listen to the stories told by the frogs every day. Now all the small animals in the pond listen to the stories told by the frogs every day..."

Tangtanger proudly told her grandfather that she also listened to the story of the frog, and she listened to it all night, with Xiaoshuang, listening to it when she woke up, and listening to it when she was sleeping...

It was agreed to go to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables, but it was delayed for more than an hour because of telling Candy the story of the pond.

When grandpa left with Candy, Candy remembered the presents she had prepared for the little turtles.

Xiao Niuniu ran back to her room and found a toy tortoise from her small bag.

This is a pink inflatable little turtle, only the size of Tangy's palm, with a very big head and a very small body. The eyes are the same as Tangy's, with big watery eyes.

This was bought by Tang Shuang and Tang Tanger, and the style was chosen by Xiao Niuniu herself.

Candy puts the little pink turtle into the pond, splashes water and pushes it to the little yellow duck in the middle of the pond.

She released this little yellow duck during the Spring Festival last year, and this year she released a little pink turtle. The small pond at grandma's house is really getting more and more lively, full of childlike fun.
