There is a thing called "Pang Hai", and it hurts to bite people

Thousands of worlds, rolling red dust, all sentient beings, there are no wonders.
In the early 1990s, I experienced something and witnessed it with my own eyes that makes me smile to this day.
It was a Fall Sunday, and after I asked the leader of the Regiment Political Department for leave, I wore a civilian suit and rushed from the suburbs 30 kilometers away to the downtown area of Nanjing to do business, and when it was dark, I hurried to the "Ganglong Line" bus stop in Gangzi Village outside Taipingmen, boarded a bus, bought a ticket, and found an empty seat in the last row to sit down.

This was the last bus to the northeastern suburb of Longtan Town, and the carriage was soon full of people. After the car started to drive, because the road surface was bumpy and unstable, although the standing people had barricades or handrails to grasp, the bodies inevitably touched each other... "Don't squeeze, don't squeeze, I must not touch this bucket under my feet!" "A man speaking the Northern Dialect of Suwan shouted at the people who crowded in him." Oh, sorry sorry sorry, not on purpose. Several men and women tried to give way to the side.
I heard this accent close to my old dialect, so I looked at him through the light coming in from the window, and I couldn't see the people in front of me, and I vaguely saw a large plastic bucket with a lid in the gap between the legs.

The car was driving forward, and as soon as the body shook, the man would remind everyone not to touch the bucket. Finally, a female passenger asked curiously: What is in the barrel? Man's answer: Pang Hai! The female passenger asked: What is Pang Hai? Man answered: Eight paws crawl sideways. Several people talked in amazement, but guessed for half a day without an answer. So the woman asked, "Where does it live and what does it look like?" Man answered: Growing up in Hongze Lake, with big scissors on his back, he looks very ugly. The woman asked: My mother, such a god, can you lift the lid for us to see? The man said: No, it is very fierce and can bite!
"Will you bite?" Someone asked. The man replied, "It can claw people to fish for harm!" It's so strong that it can't be opened to kill people. So there was another buzz of buzz in the car.
Listening to this man's accent, although I am not a county fellow, it will not be far away. From their questions and answers, I had already guessed what he meant by "Pang Hai". Haha, listening to their conversation, I couldn't help but laugh, fortunately it was night, I was dressed in civilian clothes, not noticeable. Of course, it is not convenient for me to debunk the mystery, and that would not be good.

So I continued to listen to them. One said: What did you mention this to Nanjing for? The man said he had come to visit his relatives. "Where do you stand?" Answer: Yaohua Gate. "There are still two stops to go, can you show us what's in the bucket before you get off?" Someone couldn't help but say. The man said: I really want to see it! Don't blame me for biting people!
The man said to let everyone flash a little space to the side, crouched down and put his hand to look at the lid of the barrel. Everyone bent down and looked in through a little gap in the edge of the lid of the barrel where he lifted it. "Gee, isn't that a crab?" Someone stood up straight and said.

The man replied, "It's not a crab, it's Pang Hai." "This is the crab." People said to him. "Where did you crabs grow?" The man asked. "Grow in a pond." "I grew up in Hongze Lake, unlike yours." Someone argued with him, but the man very firmly denied it: Pang Hai is not a crab. Everyone stopped squeaking, and there was a moment of silence in the carriage.
Soon, the Yaohuamen site arrived. The man who was half a fellow with me waited for the car to stop, lifted the big plastic bucket and walked to the back door, and people gave him a way to see him get out of the car...

This story has been going on for more than 30 years, and whenever I think of the scene at that time, I can't help but laugh. As the saying goes: one side of the water and soil to support the other side. And the Tao is: five miles of different sounds, ten miles of different days. Each place has its own unique dialect, these interesting and flavorful dialects, to communicate with people in foreign countries will really cause embarrassment or even laughter.
