The scenery of Baishi Haizi Lake is beautiful. In normal times, it is as quiet as a mirror, and like a person's deep eyes, silently watching every guest who comes from afar.In spring, both sides of Haizi Lake are dotted with lush and bright wild flowers, like wearing a gorgeous long skirt; in summer, the vegetation beside Haizi Lake is luxuriant, and foxes and squirrels scurry in the grass, disappearing in the blink of an eye. in front of tourists.In autumn, Haizi Lake is like a well-ripe fine wine, exuding a charming aroma from afar; in winter, Haizi Lake is a paradise for migratory birds, and many birds who come to spend the winter have found their own paradise in this paradise. shelter.There are many legends about this place.It is said that Haizi Lake was originally an ordinary lake. A beautiful fairy passed by here and felt too tired, so she bathed in this lake.Since then, this place has been tainted with fairy spirit. Not only is the lake beautiful and clear, but the animals that depend on the lake water have also undergone strange changes. However, after so many years, no magical animals have really appeared. In 1999, fishermen in Haizi Lake discovered a three-headed turtle and two giant red goldfish with scales larger than copper coins. Local people discovered that the seemingly calm Haizi Lake may also hide many secrets, waiting for people to explore and learn. Find.

In 2001, Mr. Feng, a retired old teacher, was 68 years old.This sixtieth old man is healthy and energetic. He doesn't like to eat, smoke, drink, play chess, and he doesn't like to travel. His only hobby is raising goldfish.For him, the world is big, and nothing is as important as the few goldfish in his fish tank. One day, an old friend of his, Lao Huang, came to visit Mr. Feng. The two sat on the sofa and chatted after dinner. Mr. Feng was like a goldfish who never left him.Lao Huang struck while the iron was hot and asked, "Since you are so keen on goldfish, tell me a story about goldfish."

Mr. Feng's enthusiasm was obviously aroused, and he replied cheerfully: "Then let me briefly tell you about the history of goldfish. The species of goldfish first originated in my country, and it is the earliest species in the history of ornamental fish in the world. There are many varieties of it, and the colors are also colorful, including red, orange, purple, blue, ink, silver white, streaky, etc. At the same time, goldfish are mainly divided into four types: Wen type, grass type, dragon type, and egg type. According to related data, the longest known ornamental goldfish can live up to 25 years. However, the average life span of goldfish is much shorter. 30 cm. Breeders in different regions divide goldfish into tiger head, lion head, goose head, tall head, hat head and toad head according to the shape of goldfish head... There is a lot of knowledge in this, and I can't finish it all day and night Woolen cloth!"

Most of Mr. Feng’s babies have tall heads and various colors, such as golden red, dark blue, black, yellow with brown spots, white heads and black bodies, etc.Most fish lovers like Mr. Feng like the flower and bird market, and they are even more intimate with places with water.Because his home is close to Haizi Lake, in the park, Mr. Feng often talks about his "fish farming experience" with a few old friends who also raise goldfish. On the second day when Lao Huang was a guest, Mr. Feng, who was used to getting up early in the morning, took two small solid copper balls in his hand, and walked around the park humming a little tune from Peking Opera.No, he heard Lao Huang's hearty laughter from a distance.Teacher Feng leaned forward to find out.It turned out that several retired old teachers were talking about anecdotes that happened in recent days.

When Lao Huang saw Teacher Feng coming, he was also happy, and hurriedly said: "Have you heard? A few days ago, someone caught something strange in Haizi Lake!" Teacher Feng asked curiously: "What is this strange thing? Could it be a tortoise that is bigger than a normal sea turtle? Haven't these things happened before?" Lao Huang hurriedly said: "Hi! You don't know that. I heard that they are goldfish! Two, two, that kind of giant goldfish. It is said that the fish scales are bigger than copper coins! They are all golden red. , the fish scales are even more shiny!"

Teacher Feng's curiosity was aroused: "Is it that big? Could it be a fish from other watersheds? Or a foreign species?" Lao Huang replied: "Old man, why would I lie to you! It's really that kind of giant goldfish! The average big goldfish grows to be 30 centimeters, and the most special one is only 312 centimeters. However, the two goldfish caught were 50 centimeters long, equivalent to the height of a three or four-year-old doll. Not one, but two goldfish clinging to each other. Goldfish, and others..." Teacher Feng interrupted him: "What else? What else? There are fish in the lake."

Lao Huang nodded and said: "There is also a tortoise. The strange thing is that the tortoise has three heads! And the size of each head is different. The tortoise shell is bigger than the Eight Immortals table you eat at home. It scares the fisherman Jump. Seriously, I've lived most of my life, and I've never seen a turtle with three heads." Teacher Feng wondered: "Three heads? I haven't seen it before. Is it because of the environmental pollution that causes species to mutate? Yes, there is another possibility. Common sayings are not common sayings— — A thousand-year-old tortoise, is the tortoise that was fished for 80,000 years, could it be that the tortoise that was fished is a tortoise immortal? It must have lived, let alone thousands of years. Hahahaha..."

Lao Huang thought for a while and said: "The second inference is not true. Taking a step back, how could there be a tortoise that has lived for thousands of years? Then it is not perfect? ​​It is the first theory-species variation is more reliable Some. According to the analysis of some professionals, it may be that two different species of tortoises hybridize and lay eggs in heavily polluted waters, which will inevitably cause genetic variation. However, there is not enough evidence to prove this conjecture. Such a huge Creatures, where they can’t be paid attention to, why do they have to be caught in Haizi Lake?”

Teacher Feng asked: "Is it possible that it was washed here by the current? Seeing that Haizi Lake is not polluted, I think it is suitable for it to settle down, so I came here?" Lao Huang hurriedly said: "It was washed by the water? How could it happen? In recent years, there have been no large-scale floods in the Yangtze River Basin, and the water volume of each tributary is relatively stable. Where did the water come from to bring such giant turtles and goldfish here?" ? Such a big guy, it doesn’t want to go, it will definitely try its best not to go, animals also have thoughts, even they are smarter than humans.”

Teacher Feng said: "Old man, what you said is really mysterious!" Lao Huang chuckled: "Actually, I'm just guessing. In the final analysis, it's the experts' business. We're just listening to the excitement." Teacher Feng also smiled and said, "That's right. Let's study whether we should feed our babies insect feed or plant feed today?" Lao Huang said: "Look, everyone, here we come again, this old naughty boy, you can't say anything away from your babies. Yesterday I saw a few good breeds at the flower and bird market." Teacher Feng: "Then tell me quickly!" ... A calm and peaceful day as usual.Many local fish lovers like Mr. Feng have heard about this marvelous event in Haizi Lake, and many people have come to see what happened, hoping to see those magical and huge turtles and goldfish.But as to how these miraculous creatures came to be, until today, more than ten years later, there is still no official explanation that can be believed. The quiet and beautiful Haizi Lake still has countless secrets waiting for people to explore.
