Folktale The Creeping Woman

Mondo Culture Updated on 2024-01-31

This happened more than ten years ago, at that time, there was a man in our village, Li, who loved fishing and could catch a lot of fish every time.

Once, LeeI went to the river again to fish, but after the fish bit the hook, I couldn't pull it up.

When the people next to them saw it, they all came to see the excitement, and people talked about it and said:

"It must be a big fish, you can't be wrong!”

Li was very happy and called a few people to help him pull up, but he never moved.

Li Mou was angry, pushed everyone away, insisted on pulling up by himself, and finally pulled it out, only to find that it was not a fish at all, but an old turtle.

Li was overjoyed to see it, and hurriedly reached out to pick up the fish hook, and accidentally, Li's finger was bitten by the old turtle.

Li was so angry that he screamed, and when he picked up the old turtle, he was about to fall it to death.

An old man next to him saw it, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop it

"I see that this old turtle is not young in life, and it must have spirituality, so it is better to release it!”

Li Mou** was willing to listen, his fingers were still in hot pain, and he refused to throw so much meat in vain, so he immediately brought the old turtle back to his home and killed the old turtle.

That night, Li's wife had an accident, and she behaved abnormally, babbling nonsense, and I didn't know what she was talking about.

The next day, at four o'clock in the afternoon, Li's wife suddenly began to crawl on the ground, just like an old turtle, attracting villagers to come one after another.

People pointed at her and said:

"I look at her like an old turtle, isn't that the old turtle ghostly, coming to take revenge!”

Li didn't believe in evil, so he grabbed his wife and slapped him a few times with a crackle, his wife was stunned, paused slightly, and began to crawl around again.

Li was so angry that he couldn't do anything, and every day at four o'clock in the afternoon, his wife began to crawl on the ground on time, which caused the villagers to be amazed.

all said: "He is the old turtle that he killed, and the old turtle comes at this time every day, it's really weird!."”

Li was so angry that he beat his wife to the point that his nose was blue and her face was swollen, his wife just refused to get up, he really had no choice, and in the end, he had to take his wife to the county hospital to see a doctor.

The doctor said that his wife had a mental problem, that is, mental illness, and after the doctor prescribed medicine, she went home.

After his wife took the medicine, it didn't seem to be of much use, and his wife was still crawling on the ground, covered in mud, with her hair scattered, crying and making trouble.

The villagers all advised Li to say

"This is retribution for some reason, you killed the old turtle, it is revenge, you have a heavy yang energy, the old turtle can't be possessed, so it is attached to your wife's body, you better hurry up and find a half-immortal to see!”

Li listened to it, so he took his wife to find a half-immortal, and the half-immortal estimated that he had some ability, and finally settled the matter.

It is unknown how to do it, it is estimated that the old turtle also went to the underworld, and Li's wife's illness was cured, and she no longer crawled on the ground, and her consciousness was restored.

After that, Li no longer dared to go fishing in the river, let alone kill indiscriminately.
