Chapter Eighty-Six: The Old Turtle Saves People

I answered the phone and asked, "Uncle, what strange things happened back then?" "

The butcher said: "Actually, Xiaohuai, at your age, I don't know a lot of things, the flood was really miserable, not only the river embankment was washed down, but also the mountains and rivers landslided, our Qinjiagou suffered a catastrophe back then, and too many people died, some children and old people." If you can't run fast, you will either be drowned or stoned to death, and the people who survived later did not dare to live in Qinjiagou, they all left, in fact, now more than 90% of our village are people who moved in later, so not many people know about the flood that year, Xiaohuai. If you come to your uncle to ask about this matter, you will find the right one. "

I nodded, waiting for the butcher to say the following.

Twenty-five years ago, the butcher was in the prime of life, so he should have a good impression of what happened back then.

The butcher looked at me and said, "That's the strange thing I'm going to say." In fact, when there was a flood, it stands to reason that we couldn't survive, when there was a flood, some of us ran to the high mountains, but there was no way to hide from the mudslides in the high mountains, so there were really a lot of people who died at that time, and now I think about it, it was also a burst of creepy, and later, a few of us were able to survive, all thanks to a turtle at that time. "

"Turtle?"

I was stunned when I heard it, and I couldn't think of anything about this turtle.

The butcher said, raising his eyebrows, clearly saying that he was happy.

At this time, the butcher's mother-in-law came out and said, "Xiaohuai, don't listen to your uncle's nonsense, your uncle drank too much and made up his own story, saying that he was saved by a big turtle, you say, is this credible?" Can a turtle save him? And is there a turtle that big? Can you sit one or twenty people on your back? "

The butcher's mother-in-law looked at the butcher angrily as she spoke.

The butcher's mother-in-law's words, but what I said I was a little curious, a turtle sits on the back of one or twenty people? At this point, I already had that image in my mind, and when I think about it, it's really unlikely, no matter how I think about it. I think it's a little incredible.

When the butcher heard his mother-in-law say this, he became unhappy, and when he stood up, he retorted: "Mother-in-law, what do you know, do your business, Xiaohuai, you must not listen to your aunt, what your uncle said and I said, but it is true, the turtle at that time was so big." "

As he spoke, he suddenly opened one of his hands, showing one hundred and eighty degrees, with an exaggerated expression on his face, maybe he still didn't think it was enough, so he pointed to an eight-seater dining table in the living room and said, "Xiaohuai, have you seen this table?" "

I nodded and said I saw it.

The butcher pointed to the table and said, "This table is the size of the turtle's back, and there are about ten of these tables on its back." "

The butcher said that he was full of energy, and the experience back then obviously made him proud.

Qi Yao asked at this time, "Uncle, didn't you take the boat back then?" "

Qi Yao's words brought me back to my senses, we live by the Qinkou River, I don't dare to say anything else, there are still a few boats.

The butcher took a sip of wine and said, "Why no one takes the boat, some take the boat, but they all die, you don't know how big the wind and waves were back then, our wooden boat can't withstand a wave at that time, and a wave will smash the boat to pieces, so the boat is completely dead." But that turtle is different, we sit on it, steady as Mount Tai, no matter what kind of wind and waves, it didn't hurt us, and we really had shit luck back then. "

One turtle saved one or twenty people in the village, and the rest died.

I sank into the new sunk and asked, "Uncle, is there anything else strange going on?" "

The butcher thought for a while, and then said, "Yes, there was a strange person in our village, this strange person, who claimed to be the turtle that saved us back then, do you think we are stupid, can the turtle become human?" Are you trying to scam us out of our money? Then, we drove the man away, but we did not forget the kindness of the turtle to save his life, as long as the day came, we would go to the Qinkou River to worship him, also to thank him. "

The butcher said that this matter is really more and more mysterious, a huge turtle saved them, and then the turtle turned into a human. To get back the favor of the year?

My thoughts were a little confused, and I opened my mouth and asked, "Uncle, did there ever be a very beautiful woman in our village later?" "

The butcher looked at me, and suddenly laughed and said, "Yes, there is a very beautiful woman, and that is your mother." Later, your parents moved to our village, so don't say anything else, your mother, that's really beautiful, more than enough with your father, when your mother was pregnant with you, your father often sold pork to my mother to replenish her body. "

I was stunned when I heard this, didn't the old gentleman say that my father was in the village when the flood occurred?

Now I listen to the butcher's meaning, my father was the first to enter the village.

I couldn't help but ask, "Uncle, do you mean that my dad is also one of the people who came into the village later?" "

The butcher said, "Of course, otherwise, would you be able to grow so big?" Xiao Huai. Speaking of which, it's really a pity for your mother, after leaving you, she will die, it's not easy for your father to bring you up! "

When the butcher said this, he paused again and said, "Oh, by the way, I came a few times after claiming to be a turtle, but until your father came to the village, the man never came again, as if your father came forward to say something to the man, and he left." "

I hummed. Didn't say anything either.

My mind was digesting what the butcher had said.

At this time, the butcher's mother-in-law came in again and said, "Are you done?" When he had finished speaking, he hurried to wash the pig's kidney. In the past few decades, when you come to your house as a guest, you have to talk about it again, and after talking for decades, don't you get bored? "

The butcher laughed, and then got up to get the kidney.

I stopped the butcher and said, "Uncle, no need, we won't eat." "
