Put a turtle.

Last week, my father sent me a micro-message, saying that he caught a turtle at the door of his residence, which was bigger than a slap and weighed a lot. Then make an appointment to meet at the market on Saturday night, take me back to stay and make soup for the baby.

On Saturday night, my father walked around the market first, intending to sell the turtle, but no one asked, it should be that he didn't sell it. When it was delivered to me, the tortoise was full of energy and struggled desperately. There is a small tail behind the armor, which means it is an authentic young turtle, not a turtle. Dad said this guy hadn't eaten for a week and didn't have time to buy his favorite shrimp and snails, so he was always hungry. Turtles are thick and covered with mud. They should be wild. According to my father, Guizhou people have caught a turtle of the same size before. I think it should be the turtle's companion, or the other half of a male and a female (dad has experience to talk about, but I didn't ask if it was a male or a female). The turtle in my hand probably left Rongjiang to find the companion who disappeared before, and my father happened to bump into it when I climbed ashore. Thinking of this, I suddenly felt pity for this turtle. The tortoise itself is one of the endangered species in the country and is a national protected animal. Turtles have very high medicinal value and are full of treasures. Even so, as a young man, protecting animals is an unshirkable responsibility and obligation.

On the way back to the hotel, I turned a good street and finally found the feed for the turtle. We don't want to kill anything, so we decided to keep it for the time being and then consider releasing it.

Go back to your residence, find a footbath, wash it, drain it, add feed, and then soak the turtle in water. Frightened, the tortoise has been shrinking its limbs and head, which is really a "shrinking turtle".

In the dead of night, the tortoise sticks out its limbs and head, but doesn't like to eat feed, so it is judged as wild. The feed bowl was knocked over, and all limbs struggled to climb the wall of the basin in an attempt to escape from the footbath. Climb to the half, slide down from the bottom of the basin, so back and forth, making a "rustling" sound, which sounds creepy in the middle of the night.

After two days of tossing, my wife couldn't stand the sound of crawling around in the middle of the night, and my baby didn't like this little guy in armor (the baby kept pointing at it and calling it "Aye, Aye, Aye ……" as if it were a dirty stone). So I decided to choose a quiet place to release it this morning.

The location is still on the banks of the Rongjiang River. I chose this place because I hope it can find its own kind and next partner again. It sounds a little sad that the former partner may have become someone else's dish. Fortunately, however, this turtle is lucky. Life did not end with days of hunger and contact with greedy humans, but was reborn. If nothing happens, there will still be years, decades or even hundreds of years.
