Chapter 392 The Running Turtle

The weather is nice today; even though it's already evening, the temperature is still in the teens.

Many people were taking a walk by the artificial lake after finishing their meals.

That ancient turtle is probably the restaurant's living advertisement; the restaurant values ​​it highly and even renovated a pavilion for it.

The pavilion has an artificial hill and many smooth, large stones. It is surrounded by a wooden fence with a sign that reads: "Please enjoy the view respectfully."

When Qiao Qiao and her group arrived at the pavilion, the previous group of visitors had just left.

Wang Chun pulled Qiao Qiao along and ran quickly, excitedly shouting as they ran, "Sister, look, the thousand-year-old tortoise is right there, right there!"

Qiao Qiao looked in the direction he was pointing and indeed saw a huge brown object sitting on several large pebbles.

Perhaps because she was facing away from them, she could only see a large brown tortoise shell and a short, small tail; she couldn't see anything else.

However, it must be said that this turtle is really big. Qiao Qiao estimated that the diameter of the turtle shell was about 1.2 meters.

It can carry at least three or four of them.

This was the first time Qiao Qiao had ever seen such a large turtle.

Her eyes lit up as she looked at the big turtle, and she even smacked her lips involuntarily.

Thinking to myself, this turtle is so big, if I made it into a turtle hot pot, I'd have to eat it for several meals, right?

If the whole family eats together, it will probably take two or three days!

Last year, when the fish were distributed after the pond was drained in Qiaojia Village, the little turtle that Qiao Changdong caught for her was so small that it wasn't even enough for her to eat by herself.

In the end, she didn't eat it, but instead kept it in a broken vat in the yard. She didn't know if it had grown a bit bigger now, or if it would be big enough for her to eat when she got back.

To be honest, even though Yan Liti had hired two chefs from Baoyi City to cook for her according to her tastes, she had been in Kyoto for so many days.

However, there are still some differences in taste between Baoyi City and Hongfeng Town.

Qiao Qiao really missed the meals her aunts used to cook.

For example, she wanted to eat something like dry-pot spicy rabbit, and the chef made it for her last time, but she always felt that something was missing.

Although Grandma Qiao and Qiao Xiaoyun had both lived in Kyoto before.

However, one of them was sick, and the other didn't cook much at home before, so Qiao Qiao hadn't been able to eat authentic hometown flavors for a long time.

I really want to.

The kind of food that gets more and more tempting the more you think about it.

Thinking of this, Qiao Qiao couldn't help but lick her lips again.

No one noticed the gasps of surprise from the people standing behind her.

When she snapped out of her reverie, she realized that the large turtle that had been facing her had somehow turned around and, contrary to common sense, was running towards her on its four short legs.

Yes, that's right, running!

A turtle is actually running!

Four chubby, short legs, running and leaving afterimages!

Just as the giant tortoise was about to rush up to Qiao Qiao, stretch its neck, and open its mouth to try and snatch her through the wooden railing, Qiao Qiao was picked up by Qiao Changdong, who was even faster from behind.

Qiao Changdong was terrified.

Even after I hugged Qiao Qiao, my arms were still trembling.

He never imagined that his daughter's situation had become so 'dangerous' that even a turtle wanted to bite her!

The giant tortoise, having failed to catch Qiao Qiao, stared at Qiao Changdong with its two egg-sized, pitch-black, skull-like eyes.

Even if it's a turtle, or even just an old turtle with no expression.

But Qiao Changdong still felt that he saw anger in its eyes.

It seems to be an expression of dissatisfaction with his behavior just now.

Then, in the next second.

"Sizzle!"

Then the old turtle opened its mouth, and a stream of water the size of a baby's wrist sprayed towards him.

Qiao Changdong frowned, raised his arm to cover his daughter in his arms, and took two steps to the side.

Then the stream of water sprayed onto Wang Chun's face, who was standing behind him.

Whether it was because Wang Chun wasn't standing properly or because the pressure of the water was too great, as soon as it hit him, Wang Chun couldn't help but take two steps back and then sat down on the ground with a thud.

The water flow then becomes a continuous irrigation from the beginning.

"???" Wang Chun was drenched from head to toe, instantly turning into a drowned rat.

Even after the water flow was withdrawn, Wang Chun still looked bewildered.

He reached out and wiped his wet, dripping face.

I have absolutely no idea how any of this happened.

The others were also stunned, because it all happened so suddenly and in such a short time, only about five seconds.

Except for Qiao Changdong, who instinctively reached out and scooped Qiao Qiao into his arms, everyone else was still in a daze.

Yan Liti was originally walking at the very back, but when she realized what was happening, she quickly came over and helped up Wang Chun, who was still sitting on the ground, soaking wet. She took off her coat and draped it over him.

He instructed Wang Sheng, "Has this turtle gone mad? Xiao Sheng, quick, take your brother back to the private room first, then call the restaurant manager over."

When Yan Liti gave the instructions to Wang Sheng, the tortoise over there had not yet stopped its 'attack'.

Seeing that Qiao Changdong had picked up Qiao Qiao and seemed to want to leave immediately, she was so anxious that she kept banging her head against the railing, which was as if it were made of rubble, and a dent was instantly punched into it.

"Crackling and popping." The continuous sound of wood breaking rang out, quickly attracting the attention of others.

The others were also startled when they saw the tortoise's berserk behavior.

What happened?

"Has this turtle gone mad?"

"Run! That turtle is huge! It might be a monster and want to eat people!"

"..."

A chorus of screams erupted.

Seeing that the railing was about to be broken, Qiao Changdong thought of how fast the old bastard had rushed towards his daughter. He couldn't care about anything else for a moment. He grabbed Qiao Qiao with one hand and pulled the still-unresponsive Wangwang by the scruff of his neck with the other and ran away.

Sure enough, the old turtle crashed through the railing and started running across the ground, its short, fleshy claws scrambling.

"..." others.

The others marveled at how fast the tortoise could run, and then ran towards the restaurant entrance.

But soon, the others stopped running.

Because others noticed that the old tortoise only chased after the young man carrying a little girl and showed no interest in anyone else.

Qiao Qiao, who was being carried by Qiao Changdong and chased after him while looking back over his shoulder, felt inexplicably guilty.

I wondered, could this old turtle really have become a spirit?

Did she know that she was just about to turn it into a dry pot turtle?
