Chapter 120 - Giant Turtle
The food base that Fu Ye had helped to obtain was in the city. It was a little far away, and it would take them three hours to drive there. There was also a traffic jam in between.
Lu Xiaocha sat in the car, bored. She hugged a soft pillow and rested her fair chin on the window.
The girl’s black hair was thin and soft, her face was exquisite and fair, and her mouth was bulging from eating something. Her eyes were especially clear and bright, and she looked like a little squirrel.
A boy with blue-dyed hair in a sports car next door put his arm on the door and whistled at her, thinking he was handsome.
“Het pretty, add my contacts.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Beifeng and Lu Beichen, who were sitting beside Lu Xiaocha, and Lu Beilin, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, rolled down the window. Three pairs of fierce eyes stared at the blue-haired youth.
The young man shut up.
He silently withdrew his gaze and his flippant movements, instantly terrified.
When the car in front moved, he hit the gas and bolted.
F*ck! Just now, he had the illusion that he was surrounded by wolves. He broke out in cold sweat.
The Lu brothers took the opportunity to educate their sister.
“Xiaocha, did you see that? If you meet such a person in the future, ignore him.”
Lu Beifeng said, “If necessary, you can beat him up. As long as he’s not dead, our Lu family can afford the medical fees.”
Lu Beichen: “… This is too cruel. We just need to kick his lower body.”
Lu Beilin & Lu Beifeng :”…”
Who was the cruel one? With their sister’s strength, she would destroy them.
Lu Xiaocha nodded seriously. “Yes, yes, I’ll remember that.”
Three and a half hours later, they finally reached their destination.
There were still people guarding here. Lu Xiaocha took out her ID card and the guard checked it before letting her in.
This private food base was indeed huge. The land stretched as far as the eye could see.
The staff member from the previous base introduced them. “Due to the change of ownership here, the food preparation for planting has also been suspended. Currently, only the rice area is full. The rest is up to you…”
The land was all good quality black soil and could grow most crops.
Lu Xiaocha looked at the rice area. The neat green and oily rice was growing well and looked very good.
At least, Lu Xiaocha was smiling so widely when she saw so much rice.
“Do I own all the rice here?”
The staff member nodded. “The rice here was also under your name when the property rights were changed.”
Lu Xiaocha really wanted to thank Fu Ye for getting her such a good gift.
As for the rest of the vast land, she planned to use it to grow high-quality sweet potatoes, potato corn, and soybeans. In addition, she wanted to plant various fruit trees on the mountain.
“Neigh ~”
Andre, who had been following them, felt that if it didn’t make a sound, it would almost disappear.
Where’s its pasture?
Lu Xiaocha’s face immediately fell. “We still have to make a pasture.”
Lu Beilin rubbed her head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. “We can make the pasture bigger. Not only can we raise Andre, but we can also raise cows and sheep.”
Lu Xiaocha’s eyes lit up again. Cow = milk, sheep = meat!
‘I can have that.’
And so, safely, Andre was kept.
There were no cattle or sheep here before, so the pasture needed to be redesigned. Moreover, it would take some time for the pasture seeds to grow.
After discussion, Andre was first placed in the racecourse and would be picked up when this side was done.
There was a natural lake here, and irrigation was very convenient. Besides, there were fish in the lake.
“Previously, there were quite a lot of fish here, but for some reason, there are fewer and fewer fish in the water recently. Whether you want to continue throwing fish in is up to you.”
Occasionally, some fish could still be seen in the lake. It was the season for lotus flowers to bloom, and there were lotus flowers in the lake.
Since there was nothing to do now, Lu Beilin suggested fishing on the boat, and everyone agreed.
There were fishing tools and boats. It was a big place here. Andre let itself go and ran. When it got tired of running, it would come back and eat the fodder.
“Is this edible?”
On the boat, Lu Xiaocha stretched out and picked a lotus flower.
The brothers were speechless.
Other girls: This lotus flower is so beautiful.
Lu Xiaocha: Is this thing edible?
“The lotus seed pods can be eaten, raw, and slightly bitter. They can also be made into lotus seed soup.”
“And the lotus roots at the bottom can also be eaten. If you like, go back and get some lotus roots. Forget about the ones here.”
Lu Xiaocha nodded. “The boat is pointing that way. I see several lotus pods.”
If it could be eaten, then she could not let it go.
After plucking several lotus pods in a row, she sat in the boat and peeled them to eat.
It was fragrant and crispy. It was indeed a little bitter when she first ate it, but it was within her acceptable range.
When the crew holding the boat saw that she liked it, they couldn’t help but say, “There are crayfish in this lake.”
When she heard about the crayfish, her eyes lit up.
“Good food!”
Previously, she had gone to Fu Ye’s house to eat crayfish. Thinking about it now, she was drooling.
The only drawback to fragrant crayfish was that there was so little meat.
“You can also fish for crayfish.”
The staff member demonstrated. Fishing for crayfish was quite easy. All they needed was a thin line and bait. It didn’t take long for them to realize that there were several crayfish hanging on it.
Lu Xiaocha pulled the lotus seed pod aside and placed it properly. She took the line and tied the bait seriously before putting it down.
She lay on the edge and waited for a while. When she lifted it up, she felt a strong resistance.
“What’s going on? Are crayfish that heavy?”
She pushed harder, and a large shadow appeared in the lake.
“Hiss… What’s that!”
The people on the boat were shocked. Before they could react, their ship was overturned by a powerful impact.
“Girl, what have you caught!”
The moment the boat capsized, Lu Beifeng’s pupils constricted.
Plop…
There was the sound of something falling into the water. When Lu Xiaocha held her breath and swam to the surface, she saw a huge thing swimming past her.
Following her line of sight, that thing opened its mouth and bit in the direction of her third brother.
Her pupils contracted. Almost without thinking, she wrapped her hands around the huge body in front of her.
It was a turtle about the size of a boat. It opened its mouth to bite someone, but in the next second, its body could not move.
Before it could twist its neck to see what was going on, the entire turtle flew out of the water.
Lu Xiaocha swam out of the water and took deep breaths. It was too tiring to swim in the water.
The big turtle soared into the air and smacked into the water again, causing a huge splash.
“F*ck! I was almost done for!”
Lu Beilin quickly swam away and looked at the thing that fell with lingering fears and shock.
“What is this!”
No one answered his question. Other than Lu Beifeng, the others were also very confused.
The giant turtle in the water struggled for a while and tactfully sensed that it might have kicked an iron plate. The moment it fell into the water, it wanted to escape to the bottom of the lake.
