"Spirit Beast" No. 3 "Turtle"

The next day, they reported the incident again to the plant director. This time, the factory director also paid attention to it, and they invited the village chief to discuss it with several village elders, and finally everyone decided to quietly do a ritual to overdo it. However, they did not dare to do it in a big way, because they were afraid that the workers and villagers would be suspicious and jealous, and second, they were afraid that someone would have ulterior motives to label the factory as "propagating feudal superstition". The matter was carried out in secret, and maybe the ritual really worked, and there have been no supernatural incidents in the factory since then.

In the blink of an eye, fifteen years have passed. Due to changes in the form of the market, coupled with poor management, backward equipment and other reasons, Uncle Lu's factory began to decline. Many workers left the factories to find other ways, and some with nimble brains started their own businesses. Factory production is declining, sales are not good, and they are basically in a half-dead state. Seeing the factory he had struggled for half his life dying day by day, Uncle Lu's heart was also full of desolation. But he is also in his sixties, and he no longer has the ambition he had back then, so he has no power to return to the sky, so he simply becomes a monk for a day and hits the clock for a day, messing around.

In July of this year, it rained heavily one night, and thunder and lightning fell all night. The next morning, Uncle Lu heard that something had happened in the factory. He hurried to the factory, and it turned out that the gate of the factory had collapsed. Uncle Lu hurriedly inquired about the situation, and was relieved when he heard that no one was injured. The reason for the accident is simple, there is an air-raid shelter dug under the factory, but it has not been used since it was dug. Yesterday's rain was so heavy that it soaked the ground, and the bomb shelter fell into disrepair so it collapsed, so the gate of the factory also collapsed.

Fortunately, no one was injured, and this little accident was not a big deal. But Uncle Lu's heart was heavy. The factory doors have collapsed, is this a harbinger of the factory going to close? He was not happy, so he stood in front of the factory and smoked and chatted with Section Chief Bao. The two of them had just chatted for a few words, and Section Chief Bao's eyes were sharp, and he suddenly pointed to the factory door and said, "Huh! Lao Lu, what do you think is that? Uncle Lu looked in the direction of his finger and it turned out to be a turtle. A turtle the size of two palms of an adult is crawling out of the factory gate. The two of them looked at each other, when did such a thing be hidden in the factory. This caused a lot of onlookers, but the turtle didn't care, just crawled out, as if to escape from the factory. Uncle Lu's heart was even more melancholy, and he said that turtles and snakes were spirit beasts in the town, looking at this turtle I don't know how many years it has lived, maybe it is the guardian beast of the factory, and now even he is running out, and he really deserves to die when he sees the factory.

Section Chief Bao was quick, walked over in a few steps, and grabbed the turtle one by one. Uncle Lu hurriedly stopped: "Old bag, don't move it, let it go." The turtle is a mythical beast. Section Chief Bao glanced at Uncle Lu strangely: "Divine beast, I didn't catch turtles at home when I was a child, but I never saw a god." But it's rare to see turtles that this big. So saying, he took the turtle with him.

Uncle Lu stared at his back and sighed.

Three days later, an explosive news came out, Section Chief Bao went crazy, and his wife hanged himself, fortunately their son came back in time, and after rescue, he saved his life, but due to his age, he was left with half of his body.

After Aunt Bao (Section Chief Bao's wife) told the story, this is what happened. At noon that day, Section Chief Bao and his wife quarreled over a trivial matter. Both of them have big tempers, and no one will let anyone when they make an awkward fuss, and they have changed from bickering to noisy. In the end, Section Chief Bao slammed the door in a fit of anger and went out. He came to a hillside outside the village with a huff, and saw that there was a grave here, and he was angry, but he didn't feel anything, so he took off his insoles and sat on the edge of the grave under his buttocks. Maybe I didn't sleep well last night, the weather was hot, and after a while, Section Chief Bao actually fell asleep leaning on the grave bag. He fell asleep, but something happened to his family. Aunt Bao is also a temperamental person, and she didn't care when she saw Section Chief Bao slamming the door and going out, so she sat on the edge of the bed alone and sulked. At this moment, she suddenly heard a male voice say, "What kind of day is this day to slam the door for such a trivial matter." Aunt Bao was stunned for a moment, thinking to herself, who is talking? By this time, her mind had begun to fog. She said to herself, although she felt strange in her heart, but she couldn't help but talk to the voice. The voice followed her thoughts. The more Aunt Bao listened, the more it made sense. In the end, the voice actually led her to hang herself, saying that after she died, she would be a hundred and so on. Aunt Bao really listened to him, found a thick rope and put it on the beam, and put her neck in and hanged herself.

Let's talk about Section Chief Bao's son, their old wife has a total of two sons and a daughter. The eldest son went to the city to work. The second son worked as a worker in the factory. On this day, he went to work for a while and wanted to rest for a few minutes, so he sat on a bench in a daze. Suddenly, one of the legs of the bench was broken, and the second son fell to his head. The second son felt that something was wrong when he got up, his heart was empty, as if something was wrong, he couldn't put his mind at ease after thinking about it, so he asked the leader for leave and went home. As a result, the ghost sent God to save Aunt Bao's life.

As soon as the second son came home, he found that his mother had hanged herself, which scared a young man out of his body, and he hurriedly hugged Aunt Bao's leg and lifted it up, and shouted at the same time. The neighbors who passed by heard it, and everyone rescued Aunt Bao together. After the rescue, Aunt Bao's life was saved, but her brain was still damaged, leaving her with hemiplegia. After saving Aunt Bao, people thought of Section Chief Bao. A few neighbors went out to look for it, and found Section Chief Bao who was still sleeping on the grave. But waking up Section Chief Bao found that Section Chief Bao had become crazy. I don't know anyone, and I'm still talking nonsense. This good family made it like this.

In the end, Uncle Lu summed it up and said: "Snakes and turtles are spirit beasts, and they can't be caught casually, especially the spirit beasts that crawled out of those old mansions." Lao Bao's family may have done this because he didn't listen to me and captured the turtle. ”

I asked, "What happened to the factory?" ”

Uncle Lu smiled bitterly: "It will go out of business in half a month." The spirit beasts are gone, can they still drive? ”
