After that, more and more people started finding soft-shelled turtles. Big Mouth Zhao and Qingmu both found one, and even a little fatty caught a regular turtle. 'It seems the black fish eat other fish and shrimp, but they can't get their mouths around turtles and soft-shelled turtles,' Juhua thought. 'That must be how they survived in Tiaozi Pond.'
Of course, all the turtles and soft-shelled turtles they found were given to Juhua.
Juhua released one soft-shelled turtle that weighed just over a pound, but she happily accepted the others, which were two to three pounds each. Meizi, Liu Xiaomei, and Yan busily tied up the iron-like lumps with straw. Little Shitou watched excitedly from the side, grinning as he asked Juhua, "Sister Juhua, can I go eat at Gou Dan's house with you all tomorrow?"
