Baolu Tianxing

Wu Chen chatted with him for a while. Relatively speaking, he had a better impression of County Mayor Tu. Although the two had never met, the county had submitted an island wind power project before, and the construction unit was Power Saving During the approval process, Wu Chen knew that the county was quite supportive of the group's subsidiaries, especially County Mayor Tu. On the contrary, the city was not very active and repeatedly delayed the reporting time, which made the project a waste of time.

After drinking for a while, Wu Chen heard them chattering loudly, and his sluggishness came back again. His head was a little sleepy, so he found an excuse and went outside to enjoy the cold wind.

The air outside is very fresh, with a faint smell of water and grass, blowing in the wind, there is an indescribable pastoral feeling.

Wu Chen lit a cigarette and looked at it blindly while smoking.This is a food stall built by the reservoir. In addition to a row of simple wooden houses, there are several rows of covered corridors.Just after the disaster, no one came to eat, and the place that was blown upside down by the wind hadn't had time to clean it up yet, so it looked a bit dilapidated.

According to regulations, the area around this kind of water source is not an area where people can move. However, in this kind of place, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away.

After smoking a cigarette, Wu Chen simply walked along the dirt slope to the water's edge, staring at the cleared reservoir water in a daze, only feeling blue waves, could it be that there is really what the old man said in it, what kind of monster is that? ?When it comes to the Great Lakes Monster, the most famous one is probably the Loch Ness Monster, but it is a natural lake. How could such a powerful thing exist in just a few decades like this artificially dug reservoir?

In the past, he didn't even believe in the "water monkey" in the folklore, but after experiencing this accident, he has a better understanding of the world, and there may be many unknown or unknown things in the world. There are things that are accepted.

Just as Wu Chen was about to throw away the cigarette butt, he suddenly felt a little weird, as if something was wrong.

He took a closer look and found a tortoise beside the water. It was poking its head. Its little head turned slightly, and its eyes seemed to be bright, looking at him blinking and blinking.

What is the situation?Wu Chen was in a daze for a while, as if he saw a hint of naughtiness in the tortoise's eyes. For some reason, he suddenly thought of the little monk's bald head, couldn't help laughing, and whistled at the tortoise. Turtle looked up at the sky slightly, with a look of disdain, as if he was very dissatisfied with his frivolity.

"Come! Come!" Surprised, Wu Chen knelt down and waved to the tortoise, saying hello. Unexpectedly, the tortoise actually got up and walked slowly in front of him, looking up at him. The paws were stretched out in the air, grabbing and grabbing, as if they wanted to shake hands with him!

Seeing that it wasn't afraid of people, Wu Chen became more and more curious. Isn't it afraid of being caught and stewed by himself?Turtles are very effective.Wild turtles like this are even more sought-after!

He took a closer look at the turtle. Its head was smooth and scaleless, and its tympanic membrane was obvious and round; its carapace was golden brown, and there were clear and dense black concentric rings on each scutellum, and the carapace in the middle of the rings was more golden; from the head At the end, there are three obviously raised black vertical lines, like a Sichuan character.

Wu Chen came up childlike and discussed with the tortoise. Seeing that it didn't respond, he turned it over with his hands, and pinched its long and narrow neck horns with his hands. Sure enough, he could feel the toughness. Hard as the rest of the carapace.Looking at the plastron again, there are also clusters of black, and the gussets on the edges are golden yellow.

"Chen, what are you doing?" Seeing that Wu Chen hadn't returned after a while, the village chief came out to look for him, and let him breathe. For him, the mayor was very familiar with him, but the county chief was not. It can often be seen that there are many people in the system, the ranks are orderly, and there are two floors separated. Even if he is bold, he is a bit reluctant to let go.

When I went outside, I saw Wu Chen squatting there not knowing what he was doing, enjoying himself in the game, and his heart broke out in sweat. He is so big, he wouldn't sneak out to play in the mud.

"A turtle is fun." Wu Chen chuckled, stood up, took out a cigarette and handed one to the village chief.

"Wow, this seems to be a money turtle!" The village chief is a smart man. When he saw it, he forgot to light a cigarette. He walked over and squatted down. Can't turn over.

The village chief turned it over and saw that the turtle's back shell was as big as two palms spread side by side. "It's rare to see such a big one!"

"This is the money turtle?" Wu Chen has heard of it many times, but he has never seen it, but it is interesting to see the circles on its back shell. I don't know if this is how it got its name. Looking at it with interest, he didn't notice that the tortoise kept rolling his eyes at him.

"You are very lucky! This is a natural turtle!" The village head was very surprised when Wu Chen told him how he met the turtle. He remembered what his husband said, this kid is a noble person!Seeing that the tortoise didn't seem to be afraid of Wu Chen, he said, "Go and see."

Hearing this, Wu Chen stood up and pretended to go back. The tortoise shook its head when it heard the movement. Seeing Wu Chen walking away, it kicked up its legs and started chasing it. It was quite fast!

"Xiao Mian, did you cheat on me? Tell you, there is nothing to eat if you follow me!" Wu Chen turned his head while walking, and was slightly surprised when he saw the turtle following him. He stopped and turned around, bending over. , deliberately teasing the turtle.

Unexpectedly, the tortoise stopped, raised its head, and yawned. Wu Chen was amused by his laziness. This kind of laziness was very similar to him.

"How is it?" Seeing this, the village chief also said cheerfully, this old turtle is spiritual, and this is to recognize the owner!

Since ancient times, there have been rumors about "self-laid turtles" in rural areas. This is a great omen of wealth and safety, and it is something that most people can't meet.For example, at what time, what kind of tortoise crawled into someone's house by itself, and lingered on, and the family was either rich or expensive from then on!

Wu Chen had also heard of this, and although he didn't believe it, seeing that the turtle was cute and seemed willing to follow him, this could be considered fate.Just holding it in my hand, it feels quite thick, this little guy, it seems that the food in the reservoir is still good!look

He saw some sticky things on the shell of the tortoise, so he washed it, and saw that the boss was not happy about it, but Wu Chen didn't care about it, it's a fool!I don't know how old I have lived, but if I can talk, I can at least ask if there are really monsters in this reservoir.

When they returned to the big room, which was chatting lively, they were all very surprised to see Wu Chen coming in with a turtle in their hands, and they all came up to join in the fun.The tortoise was also well-behaved, lying in Wu Chen's hand, unmoved by the surroundings, only staring at the two eyeballs, the old god was watching everyone.

"This is a male!" the mayor said firmly, looking like an expert, pointing to the tortoise's shoulder and explaining that the carapace of the male tortoise is narrow, the tail looks thick and long, and the plastron There are two pieces of armor with deep notches. "Look, I don't know how to grow this ring! It is said that one round lasts for one year. How many years have passed? You must be fine!"

Everyone took a closer look, and they saw that this tortoise was somewhat different from ordinary money tortoises. The circles on the back with black borders and yellow backgrounds were exceptionally clear, but the black borders were not round, but rather N-gonal, but too large. It is multi-sided, each side line is extremely short, thick and thick, it is still a circle, and these black lines are not blindly black, but are made up of countless densely packed small black coils, which can't help but be amazed.

"Brother Wu, you have found a treasure!" The county magistrate felt a little envious. Being an official in this area, he was somewhat contaminated with superstitious thoughts. What a blessing!I invited a master to fiddle with Feng Shui in the office for a long time, but I didn't see any turtles coming!

Hearing everyone's envy and jealousy, Wu Chen smiled foolishly and responded one by one. He was still not used to this feeling of being the center.Fortunately, the restaurant owner who was at the side, after a few words of praise, casually told a legend about the reservoir, which attracted everyone's attention and finally helped him out.

This area is the forbidden area of ​​the Holy Spirit!It turns out that there is no reservoir, but some continuous hills, but it is strange to say that there are winding water fields between those small hills. It is said that there are all kinds of strange things growing in these water fields. Here, inexplicably missing.

At that time, red flags were planted all over the top of the mountain, sweeping away all ghosts and monsters. With the power of tens of 10 people every day, the place was finally transformed into a reservoir, and nothing unusual was seen!It wasn't until the flood that year and the collapse of Mashan Lake that there were rumors among the people again, but no one knew what was going on, because the army quickly blocked the surrounding area, and all kinds of people came from above, and it took more than half a year to leave .

"I heard that this place is connected to the Phoenix Mountain area! Mr. Feng Shui said that it is Longyuan Land!" The boss said mysteriously, "Because there are dragons lurking here, they are relatives to the Dragon King in the sea, so the typhoon is strong. No water or anything has ever been here! Alas, it's a pity that it's all destroyed now!"

In his heart, he was also jealous that Wu Chen picked up the old tortoise, but it wasn't because of any luck. This wild money tortoise had grown to such a large size, and he had never seen it before. At least it cost millions!If it weren't for the presence of a bunch of leaders, he really wanted to say that he raised this turtle!Grandma's, I am from the village nearby, and I have been running a restaurant here for more than ten years, so why haven't I met him!

The country people are somewhat superstitious. Apart from talking about the past and the present, they just talk about various mysterious phenomena.When the topic of being teased by the boss, everyone has a lot of "rumours" to talk about.

By this time, the dishes had already been finished, and several more dishes of peanuts were made. With the wine, the big guys gathered together and talked wildly.

Wu Chen saw that each of them was full of interest, with mysterious expressions on their faces. It felt like an underground meeting on TV, so he couldn't help but wryly smiled.

It's not the first time he's heard about the weirdness of the reservoir. The last time he heard it from his father, it was vivid!Among the group of people in front of me, there is no one older than his father. They were all little kids back then, and they probably heard the old man's words. Now, they are all vivid and vivid, as if they have experienced it themselves.
