Deep return to true water

In Shanglin Village, there is a legendary story about the water in Tortoise Town.

At the entrance of Shanglin Village, there is a chinemys reevesii carved from stone. After building a new countryside in an all-round way, no matter how the village develops, this turtle will always guard here.

According to legend, a turtle lived in the river in Shanglin Village at some time. People have never seen what it looks like, because the older generation will tell the younger generation not to mess with this turtle. Not only that, everyone has a sacred attitude towards it.

During the flood season, the place where the flood passes is a mess. Only this village will not be attacked by floods. It is speculated that the tortoise has sucked up all the water, but even if curious, no one dares to offend the tortoise. This village has lived for such a peaceful generation.

With the tide of reform and opening up, a large number of new forces have poured into the economically developed areas along the southeast coast. Young people who have seen the world will inevitably have many branches of thought, and the traditions of their ancestors can't resist the temptation of money after all.

A young man named Qian has been immersed in the wildlife circle for a long time, and finally he pointed his finger at the turtle in his hometown.

He bribed the village chief first. Of course, the village chief doesn't know the evil intention of money. The village head just couldn't resist the temptation of money and called on the villagers to attend the meeting.

After the meeting, it was all over and the village head was dumbfounded. At this time, the usually calm river churned. Just when the villagers didn't know what to do, Xiaozhu came running in a pair of trousers. Before he could catch his breath, he told the village chief that he had seen Qian and his men steal the chinemys reevesii.

Village head, etc. I had to ask him in detail, so he sent someone to chase the money. Unfortunately, the tortoise left the water, lost its living environment and lost the hope of living. He died not far away. Qian was ashamed to go back to the village, and even more afraid that the villagers would hold him accountable, he had already left.

Shanglin village, which has never been flooded, was looted by the flood. Fortunately, the village feng shui master predicted in advance that the villagers would move to other places for insurance.

Looking at the village destroyed by the flood, the village chief knew that he was guilty and prayed all day that the disaster would not happen again.

……

The village chief personally recited Yungang Rock, personally accompanied the sculptor to carve turtles, prayed every day, and finally made chinemys reevesii. On the day of the sacrifice, the village chief dripped blood on chinemys reevesii's back, and chinemys reevesii's eyes flashed, and then he recovered.

Since then, the village has been calm again.
