Villager Qingyu dug out a big turtle in the river and tied it up on the same day. Unexpectedly, he dreamed of a strange old lady at night, who asked them to release her brother, otherwise they would regret it. The incident happened in the early days of liberation. One year, the brigade organized a river dredging. Because he could earn centimeters, Li Zongping from the village also participated. When he dug an area, he felt hard with a shovel, as if he had dug a big stone. Then he planned to dig out the stone, but he didn't expect that the stone would get bigger and bigger. Several villagers nearby also helped, but soon found that it didn't look like a stone. It was elastic when shoveled on it. Several people were wondering what it was, when suddenly the big stone moved. Several people were caught off guard and all fell down, rolling and crawling to the river bank. Everyone present was scared and ran to the river bank. They saw the big stone arched up from the mud. Some sharp-eyed people recognized that it was a big turtle the size of a farm vehicle, covered with mud. Suddenly someone in the crowd shouted, "Catch it and contribute it to the country!" There were also brave people who took ropes and rushed down the riverbank, while the timid ones cheered behind them. Several people tied the rope around the big turtle and tried to tie it up. But the big turtle was very strong, and the few people couldn't control it at all, and it dragged it forward. Someone suggested that the turtle couldn't move once it turned over, so they called on everyone to work together. One group pulled it with a rope, and another group pushed it on the other side. After a lot of effort, they finally turned the big turtle over. The big turtle retracted its head into its shell and stopped moving. Everyone tied it up with a rope and fixed it. Because the county would send a truck to take it away the next day, two people were arranged to set up a tent to guard it that night. One of them, named Zhao Jianguo, had a dream in the middle of the night. He saw an old lady enter the tent. The old lady begged them to be kind and release her brother. Zhao Jianguo didn't know her. 0
 
 
Zhao Jianguo didn't understand what she was talking about, so he asked who her brother was and where he came from. The old lady didn't answer, and then said, "You will regret it if you don't let him go." Then she left angrily. The next morning, Zhao Jianguo thought of the dream he had last night and felt it was very strange. Li Yongjun, who was keeping watch with him, asked him what he was thinking. As a result, they had the same dream. The two of them left the tent and saw that the truck had already arrived. A group of people were dragging a big turtle to the shore. Zhao Jianguo heard the sound of waves in the distance. He turned his head and saw that there was water coming down in the distance. He hurriedly shouted, "People on the river, get off the shore quickly!" The people on the riverbank struggled to climb to the shore. As soon as they got ashore, the water came and washed away the big turtle. And it was not just one, but two, and there was another one about the same size. Others didn't know, but Zhao Jianguo and Li Yongjun knew that the other big turtle was probably the old lady they dreamed of. The two big turtles swam away, and people came to their senses. How did the water come down? When the silt was cleared, the upstream was blocked by a dam, so how did the water come down? Later, an old man who was drawing water to irrigate the land by the river told a story. He said that day when he was drawing water to irrigate the land, he saw from a distance a turtle as big as a 4-wheeled vehicle swimming over, swam to the water-blocking dam, dived down, and smashed the dam with one head, and the water just flowed down. Later, there was a flood, and someone saw the two big turtles again. 0
