"Wow, it's so heavy! Xiao Che, you guys caught quite a lot this morning!"
Jiang Yunshan weighed the bamboo basket and said.
"Dad, actually, it's all Yuanbao's credit that we were able to catch so many crabs. Yuanbao has such a sharp nose that we can just pick up crabs like him."
When Yuanbao heard Jiang Che praising it, it immediately raised its head with a proud and arrogant look.
"Yuanbao is really good. I'll give you some more delicious food at noon as a reward."
When Yuanbao heard that there would be a snack at noon, he immediately broke down and jumped around happily in the yard.
"Dad, I'll leave this rat snake to you. I don't know how to do it."
As he spoke, Jiang Che handed the rat snake to Jiang Yunshan. Seeing such a big rat snake, Jiang Yunshan's eyes lit up.
This is good stuff, especially nutritious.
"Xiao Che, you've got quite a good harvest catching crabs. You've even caught snakes. Leave it to me."
Jiang Yunshan took the rat snake from Jiang Che's hand, and Jiang Lingzhi ran over at this time holding the snake-holding turtle.
"Uncle, there's more than just a snake. Look, there's this one too. They were caught together. I heard someone say this turtle is worth over 10,000 yuan!"
"It's Lingzhi. Your aunt told me about you when I just came back."
"Hey, this looks like a snake-killing turtle, right? Why is there still one on the mountain?"
Jiang Yunshan greeted Lingzhi, and then was surprised to see the turtle in her hand.
“Lingzhi, what did you just say? This gram of snake turtle is worth more than ten thousand?!”
Jiang Yunshan suddenly reacted and asked in surprise.
"Yes, that's what netizens said. They said the price of a pure wild snake-killing turtle is only lower, not higher."
Lingzhi said with a money-obsessed look.
"Hiss, wow, it's worth so much money?!" Jiang Yunshan took a breath and said with regret: "When we were young, there were a lot of these things in the mountains. I even ate them in soup."
"I remember one day a man came to the village and said he could exchange this snake turtle for pots, pans, and other utensils. As a result, all the men in the village, young and old, went up the mountain to catch turtles, but they were all gone in a short time."
"If I had known it was worth so much, I wouldn't have exchanged it for just some useless things like pots and pans!"
Everyone was stunned after hearing this. Jiang Che didn't even know that the Huaxi snake turtle became extinct because of this reason. It was really sad!
"Is Xiao Che at home?"
Suddenly, the old village chief's voice was heard outside the door, and then the courtyard door was pushed open. The old village chief walked in, followed by a lot of people.
The leader was Professor Du Chengyu from the day before yesterday and his two students, while his female student Cheng Yufei was holding a dying red fox.
"Grandpa Village Chief, what are you doing?"
"Xiao Che, it's great that you're home. Weren't there poachers the day before yesterday? We finally found their tracks today. Professor Du and his team found this injured fox in his forest."
"Officer Chen and the others are busy catching poachers. You're the only one in the village with a car, so I'd like to trouble you, Xiao Che, to take the professor and the other two to the town hospital. This fox has been shot, and if we're too late, it might not survive..."
