"Isn't that amazing? This kind of turtle is good for your health!"
Chen Hong smacked her lips, feeling her stomach rumbling with anticipation.
This turtle was wild and untamed. Chen Hong held it tightly, and it stretched out its long neck as if it wanted to bite someone.
"Mom, be careful! This turtle is fierce! It's stretching its neck out, trying to bite!"
Chen Hong laughed heartily: "It is quite fierce, but it can't bite me."
Son, it's fine to look at this turtle from a distance, but whatever you do, don't touch it.
It bites very hard; it can bite off a person's finger in one bite.
They're fiercer than sea crabs, and once a turtle bites, it won't let go—they're incredibly difficult to deal with.
Fearing that Yu Yang might not know his own strength and get hurt by the turtle, he broke off a branch about the thickness of a little finger from the shore and held it out in front of the turtle.
The turtle, which had been lazily lying in the bucket, suddenly moved, grabbed the branch in its mouth, and snapped it in two with a snap.
Yu Yang was startled. He took the branch from his mother and examined it. Sure enough, it had been bitten off.
"Mom, this turtle is really strong! It can bite through such a thick branch. It's so fierce!"
Don't catch turtles anymore, it's too dangerous. They hide in the mud and are hard to find!
Chen Hong shook her head. She had finally figured out the trick to catching turtles and had only just gotten the hang of it. How could she give up so quickly?
As she walked towards the mudflats, she said to Yang, "Don't worry, Mom knows what she's doing!"
While the weather is still warm and the turtles haven't hibernated yet, I'll catch two more, take them home to raise, and stew them for winter nourishment.
When your father comes, give him one too. Make soup with it when you get home; it'll be good for everyone's health.
Chen Hong crouched down and intently scanned the turtle's silhouette in the shallow water.
The turtles would surface to breathe every half hour, so there must still be turtles inhabiting and foraging on this mudflat.
