"This turtle's eyes are so fierce! I felt very scared when I was stared at by it."
"Fortunately I didn't touch it. Otherwise, who knows what would have happened."
"It is warning us not to disturb it."
"This guy really became a sperm."
…
People in Xianji Bridge were talking a lot on the river bank.
Da Lei thought about how he wanted to move the old turtle just now, his whole body started shaking, his face suddenly turned blue, and foam was spitting out of his mouth.
"Da Lei, Da Lei! Ha Bao Zai, don't scare me!" Zhang Xingfu picked up Da Lei in a panic.
"It must be because the old turtle was moved just now. The turtle got angry and cast a spell on Da Lei!" someone said in horror.
"Go back quickly. If the turtle comes out again, it will be in trouble. It must blame us at Xianji Bridge for draining the river water and disturbing it."
…
All of a sudden, all the people in Xianji Bridge were gone. Only rows of waterwheels that stopped working were left on the riverside. The water in the river was pumped to the bottom, and all the waterwheels lost their function. They had to wait for water to come from the river.
Only then can these waterwheels be able to function again.
Xiao Jinlin was also uneasy along the way: My mother, if the Taoist priest hadn't stopped me, I almost dug up that old turtle with a hoe. In that case, I'm afraid it would be worse than Da Lei. Thinking of what happened to that old turtle just now
That vicious look made him tremble in his heart and his face slowly turned blue.
The little Taoist priest followed behind Xiao Dajiang.
"You kid, you clearly knew that thing was dangerous, why did you rush to the side?" Xiao Dajiang scolded.
The little Taoist Master said: "I'm afraid that someone else will move. The rhubarb is barking like that, so I know that thing is very dangerous. But if it dares to attack me, I'm not afraid of it."
"You are the only one who is great. You are not allowed to show off in the future. You went to catch fish in the pool earlier, and I haven't dealt with you yet. You still have to take a few bamboo shoots from the master for you." Xiao Dajiang said dissatisfiedly, there were still some residue on his feet.
What about the red marks left on the shoots of bamboo shoots?
"Master, you go back first, and I'll go check on Da Lei. He seems to be frightened. I'll take care of him," the little Taoist Master said.
"Go on, go on, don't go to the river. Go home early. If you go back too late, your wife will be scolding you." Xiao Dajiang nodded.
The little Taoist priest walked a few steps, turned around and shouted: "Master."
Xiao Dajiang stopped and responded: "Hey, what's wrong?"
"Master, why are you so afraid of your mother-in-law? Every time, you are treated like a child by your master's wife." After the little Taoist Master said that, he ran away, giggling all the way.
"Bad boy! You are really itchy. I'll take care of you when you get back!" Xiao Dajiang said angrily at the back of the Taoist Master. After the Taoist Master ran away, he whispered in a low voice: Am I afraid of my mother-in-law? I'm just
Just let her go. What kind of skill is beating a mother-in-law?
The little Taoist priest ran to Da Lei's house. Da Lei had been sent home in a panic by Zhang Xingfu and fell asleep on the bed.
"Uncle Xingfu, how is Da Lei?" the little Taoist asked.
Seeing the Taoist Master approaching, Zhang Xingfu showed a smile on his face and shouted quickly: "Xiuying, hurry up and pour a bowl of tea for the Taoist Master, and bring out some more."
Ma Xiuying hurriedly went to find a cup to fill the water, then ran to the lime jar at home and took out a pack of biscuits and candies wrapped in kraft paper. Because quicklime was put in the jar, the jar could always stay dry, and the things placed inside could be kept dry.
It can be stored for a long time, but the biscuits will have a faint taste of lime.
The Taoist priest walked to the bed and glanced at Zhang Dalei. He saw that Da Lei's face was ashen and his eyes were closed tightly. The Taoist priest reached out and touched Zhang Dalei's hand, as if he had touched an iceberg.
"How is it?" Zhang Xingfu asked with concern.
"Fortunately, it's nothing serious. I was just frightened and lost my mind. Just calm down and it'll be fine," the little Taoist priest said.
"Didn't that old turtle take away Da Lei's soul?" Zhang Xingfu asked.
The little Taoist shook his head: "How can it be so easy? The old turtle Daoxing is not that powerful. If it was really so powerful, would it lie there and hold the stone? It was just Da Lei who was scared. The old turtle has lived for so many years, then
His eyes are really poisonous."
"Isn't that true? I was so glaring at that old turtle that my heart almost jumped out of my chest." Zhang Xingfu said with lingering fear.
"You really think you are useless, so I asked you to take the cub to catch fish, and it ended up like this." Ma Xiuying complained.
"Can you blame me? This brat doesn't listen to me at all. I can't even stop shouting." Zhang Xingfu said aggrievedly.
"Forget it, don't argue for now. It's useless to argue. It's better to prepare the items to scare the big thunder. At night, I will scare the big thunder and it will be fine." The little Taoist priest said.
"Little Taoist Priest, I'm sorry to trouble you." Zhang Xingfu said gratefully.
Xiao Jinlin didn't look well, so he lay down on the bed when he got home. It was only when he was having his half-day meal that he discovered that Xiao Jinlin had a fever. (At that time, farmers usually only had two meals, breakfast and half-day meal. Breakfast was around eight or nine o'clock.
Eat every hour, usually after working all morning, go home and eat half a day's meal at two or three o'clock in the afternoon.)
The fever was so severe that everyone was in a daze and talking nonsense.
"Don't stop me, I'm going to dig this old turtle to death!"
"What are you afraid of? It's just an old turtle!"
…
"Lao Si, something is wrong with Jin Lin. Is it because of that old turtle?" Zhou Lanying, Xiao Laosi's wife, asked.
"How did I know? You were fine when you came back. Why did you suddenly become like this?" Xiao Laosi said with a frown.
Zhou Lanying had no choice but to soak a sweat towel with cold water, then wring out the water and put it on Xiao Jinlin's forehead. However, this did not seem to have any effect, and Xiao Jinlin had a high fever.
**********
However, it was said that the people of the Xinqiao Brigade were building a dam and overturned one end of the Xianji Bridge, and they were always proud. The two villages had been fighting for decades, and finally the winner was decided. These days, the water level in the river is slowly rising, and many people
Where water used to be pumped, now the water is released directly from the river, saving a lot of effort. Only the higher terraces still need water trucks to pump water up step by step.
During this period of rice transplanting, water was used heavily in the rice fields. Naturally, the water in the river did not flow down at all.
Yang Fu'an, secretary of the Xinqiao brigade, felt extremely happy. He fried some peanuts from last year at home, opened a bottle of Bamboo Leaf Green, and drank it deliciously alone at home.
"Secretary, the Xianjiqiao river has been drained, and there is not a drop of water left. In the past two days, the people from the Xianjiqiao brigade have been catching fish in the river." Yang Mingshan walked into Yang Fu'an's house and said cheerfully.
