tale
In ancient times, there was an oil mill that pressed oil. Many people were hired to work in the oil mill, including an old man named Boss Wang who was in charge of burning fires.
One morning, he was burning a fire under the stove, and when he saw a few ground turtles crawling out of the ash pile, he hurriedly put down the shovel to catch it, and the little turtle "roared" and crawled into the ash pile. After a while, a few more climbed out of the ash pile, and he hurriedly picked up the shovel and smashed it, but none of them were smashed, only so angry that he screamed and scolded. Looking down, there was another one, and he hurriedly smashed it again, and as a result, he cut the little turtle into two sections.
At this time, the pot was frying rapeseed, because Boss Wang was eager to catch insects, he forgot about it, causing the rapeseed in the pot to be fried black.
The next day, when Boss Wang was sweeping the floor, he accidentally found that the small turtle that had been cut into two sections yesterday was alive again. Looking more closely, it turned out that this small turtle was automatically connected, and there was no trace of even cutting. He looked more closely and found that only the female worm was cut off to connect automatically.
Once, Elder Wang's child accidentally fell off a high mountain and broke his leg. He asked several doctors but could not cure it, which was very urgent. Suddenly, he remembered the turtle worm, so he took a few females, dried them, and grated them in sesame oil and applied them to his son's wounds. Within a few days, the child's legs were getting better.
Since then, the fact that turtles can cure blood stasis and bruises has spread in the folk and has been passed down to this day.
