Folk tale: Fishing for golden turtles

Baipi County is a poor county, and the county has ordered Zhao Dezhu to take office for several months, but he has not fished any oil and water, and his heart is not lost. That night, Zhao Xianling was sighing in the room, when he heard a movement in the corner of the wall, crouched down to look at it, and found that it was a turtle.

He was overjoyed: Baipi County, a poor place where rabbits don't shit, has not smelled meat for three months, and this turtle is a good ingredient for stew soup! Thinking about it, he reached out and grabbed it.

Who knew that this turtle climbed quite fast, and disappeared after three clicks or two.

He thought it was strange, and when he looked closely, there was a hole in the foot of the wall, and the turtle had already crawled out of the hole.

However, what surprised him was how many shiny things were next to the hole? Pick it up and look at it, and be shocked: Isn't this a golden bean? He quickly stood up and ran out to chase, but the turtle was long gone, and behind the wall was the river, presumably jumping into the river.

Zhao Xianling carefully held these few golden beans in his hand, and his heart couldn't help but blossom with joy: Haha, God pity me, send me gold! From then on, he stared at the corner of the wall, and then went to the river behind the house to look.

On this day, when he arrived at the back of the house, he saw that the turtle was slowly crawling along the river, and as soon as he saw someone coming, he blinked and disappeared, and probably jumped into the river again.

Zhao Xianling didn't care where it went, he just looked for it repeatedly by the river, and sure enough, in the place where it climbed, he found two more golden beans. Dare to love that this is a turtle with golden beans?

Zhao Xianling picked up the golden beans and guarded them almost every night. To his disappointment, the turtle never appeared again.

Early this morning, Zhao Xian Ling was standing by the river in a daze, only to see the master in the county court come over step by step, laughing: "You won't come here to fish like the previous county masters, right?" The fish in this river are hard to catch. ”

Zhao Xianling asked in surprise, "You mean that they used to fish here a lot?" ”

Master Master nodded, "Yeah, I just wonder, why do you county grandmasters have this hobby?" ”

Zhao Xianling listened, there was no squeak on his mouth, but he smiled secretly in his heart: It is your master who does not know the truth, where the previous county order was fishing, dare to love is fishing for the turtle that can only throw golden beans! Oh, this golden turtle did not let them fish, it seems that God left it to me!

So the next day, he asked people to find bamboo poles and fishing lines, sat by the river to fish, and did not allow others to come to see, saying that he wanted to be quiet alone, in fact, he was afraid that people would know the secret and rob the golden turtle.

In this way, for several days in a row, Zhao Xian ling simply did not even go to the public court, sitting by the river every day anxious to catch golden turtles, but there has been no movement, occasionally the fishing rod is pulled, a line, but the small fish with the size of the thumb is caught. He was so angry that he was about to vomit blood! Let's go, I don't want to; keep fishing, I don't know how long I'll be fishing. Just when he was almost desperate, suddenly, the fishing rod in his hand was pulled fiercely, and he hurriedly lifted the rod, only to feel that his hand sank, and then a black thing was lifted to the surface. Ah, it's a big turtle, it's that golden turtle!

Zhao County was overjoyed. At this time, he felt that there was a force pulling him hard along the fishing rod, and he wanted to let go, but it was too late, and the person was immediately pulled into the river.

Zhao Xianling was somewhat watery, and he did not panic when he fell into the river, still holding the fishing rod and refusing to let go, only hoping to drag the golden turtle to the shore.

But who knew that the force at the end of the fishing rod was getting bigger and bigger, dragging him all the way to the center of the river, and he felt something abnormal:

How can a turtle have so much strength? Could it be a monster? As soon as he thought of the monster, Zhao Xianling became frightened, hurriedly let go of the fishing rod, and wanted to swim back to the shore, but the fishing rod seemed to stick to his hand, and he couldn't shake it off.

Zhao Xianling wanted to shout for help, but the fishing rod suddenly sank down, and before he could shout the exit, the person was dragged to the bottom of the water.

Zhao Xianling's heart sank, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that the scene under the water was unusually clear, but when he looked at himself, he couldn't help but be stunned:

His own two hands have become a pair of front feet of the turtle;

On his own body, he actually carried a thick turtle shell;

The fishing rod, somehow turned into a thin fishing line, was wrapped around his own pair of "turtle feet".

Zhao Xianling was scared and anxious: What the hell is going on?

After a while, Zhao Xianling was dragged out of the water again, and a large hand gently grabbed him and shouted, "Fortunately, this county order is a corrupt official, otherwise I would have to wait for several years." ”

Zhao Xianling looked up, and the person who arrested him actually looked exactly like him!

He exclaimed, "Who are you?" The man smiled and said, "I was your last county order, and I was also turned into a turtle by my predecessor county order." alas! They all blamed me for being greedy for money, which was why I was introduced into the water and became a turtle for so many years. Today you came and I was finally able to go back. Tell you, you have now become a turtle with golden beans, and you can stay here with peace of mind in the future! ”

Zhao Xianling was frightened and pleaded, "Let me go!" There are still young and old in my family, and they all have to rely on me to support them! ”

At this time, he really wanted to let himself kneel, but his body was now shrunk in the shell of the turtle, where could he still kneel?

The ex laughed loudly: "Since I went back as you, I will naturally be responsible for Yamen, and you can rest assured." Tell you, after going back, I will not be greedy again in this life, you honestly wait for the next term to change you! ”

When the ex finished speaking, he stood up and went to the shore. Who knew that after taking two steps, his body fell to his toes and fell down again. Zhao Xianling really hated him to the bone at this time, so he pounced on him and opened his mouth widely.

The former screamed in pain and wanted to shake off Zhao Xian Ling, but Zhao Xian Ling was willing to relax.

At this moment, Zhao Xianling suddenly found that his body had changed back, and the ex had turned into a turtle again.

The ex shouted angrily: "Hmm, I've waited for so many years to wait for a corrupt official, I must change your body and go out." Seeing that the former turtle was grinning at himself again, Zhao Xianling hurriedly threw it into the water, and quickly climbed up to the shore like a burning ass.

The ex surfaced and shouted desperately: "You can't run, you make it impossible for me to return to the world, I will follow you in this life, as long as you are still greedy for money, I must replace you!" ”

Zhao Xianling listened, even dared to stay by the river, crawled home with a rolling belt, attacked his heart in a hurry, and fainted...

When he woke up, he found himself lying on the bed, his family all around him, asking him why he ran home with water, he dared to say things, but in his heart he said to himself: I don't want any more gold beans and silver beans, I would rather be a poor county order than to be that shrunken-headed turtle!

The next day, Zhao Xianling went to the lobby and set down the rules and precepts, worked conscientiously, and behaved innocently.

There was a family not far from the county gate, and an old man looked at the busy figure inside and outside the lobby of Zhao Xianling and smiled. Yes, this old man is the master!
