Chapter 393 The Crying Turtle
Reading Settings
As Qiao Qiao was thinking this, the tortoise's speed increased.
Stretching its neck, it snapped the large wooden stick that Wang Jun had used to block its path in one bite. Just as it was about to grab Qiao Changdong's trouser leg, Qiao Qiao quickly used her spiritual power to freeze it in place.
Seeing that the turtle had stopped moving, Qiao Qiao whispered in Qiao Changdong's ear, "Dad, it's okay. I've made sure the turtle can't move anymore."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Changdong glanced back and saw that the tortoise had indeed stopped moving in one place, so he stopped running.
At this moment, Wang Jun and Wu Yu reacted quickly, went to the restaurant to get hemp rope and wooden sticks, and tied the big turtle up tightly.
Especially the mouth with sharp teeth, which was also tied up twice with hemp rope.
Just as the farce was finally brought to a stop, the restaurant manager arrived late.
The others who were eating and chatting in the private room also ran over. After confirming that Qiao Qiao and Qiao Changdong were alright, they breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
"What on earth is going on? He was perfectly fine, why did he suddenly go berserk? What if he hurt someone!" Wang Xinghua questioned the restaurant manager with a very unpleasant expression.
The restaurant manager could only keep bowing and apologizing, but he couldn't offer a reasonable explanation for why the turtle had suddenly acted up.
Their restaurant has been in Jinshi for over fifty years.
Previously, business was only so-so, neither good nor bad.
But ever since that turtle arrived, their business has improved.
The restaurant owner made this turtle his prized possession and promoted it to the outside world.
This turtle has no other problems, except that it eats a lot, but since they are a restaurant, they can afford to feed it.
This turtle came to their restaurant by itself about two years ago.
Once they arrived, they never left.
When it first arrived, it was so big that it looked like it had been around for a long time. The restaurant owner was a businessman who was a little superstitious about this.
I never thought of using it as an ingredient, but even when I tried to drive it away, it wouldn't leave. It just stayed at the restaurant like a living ancestor.
However, because of its enormous size, it did attract a lot of business to the restaurant, and the restaurant owner later used it as a living signboard.
The restaurant claims it's a thousand-year-old tortoise, which is an exaggerated marketing tactic, but nobody knows the tortoise's actual age.
Even some so-called experts came to identify it, but because the tortoise wouldn't let anyone get close, they could only observe it from a distance and barely estimated its age, saying it was around three or four hundred years old.
This turtle lives in the restaurant; during the day it either sleeps or lies dormant in the pool.
He would only climb ashore in the evening, and when it was late at night, he would wander around on the deserted lawn, occasionally going to the place where restaurants kept live poultry to pick up a few chickens, ducks, and fish to eat.
It doesn't like to get close to people, nor does it attack them.
This is truly the first time we've ever experienced something like this.
The restaurant manager wondered if one of the children in Qiao Changdong's group had done something wrong to anger the turtle.
After all, some kids can be quite mischievous and playful. In the past, there were kids who would throw pebbles or sticks at turtles that ignored them.
That's why they put up wooden railings around the pavilion and wrote a sign on it reminding people to view it in a civilized manner.
Unfortunately, there were many customers in the vicinity at the time, who all testified that the turtle suddenly sprang up on its own and chased after people, and that no one had provoked it.
The hotel manager was so worried he was going bald.
The commotion downstairs was so loud that almost all the windows of the private rooms on the second and third floors of the restaurant were opened, and people were crowding around to watch the excitement.
This included Wang Zhenhua, who was temporarily meeting other people in a private room on the second floor of another building.
Wang Zhenhua had originally heard someone downstairs shouting that a thousand-year-old tortoise was biting someone, and wanted to watch the excitement while also getting closer to the people in the private room and finding some topics to talk about.
As a result, when he opened the window and leaned his upper body against the windowsill to look out, he saw his own family members who were the center of the conversation downstairs.
I was immediately startled.
He didn't care about anything else and said to the people in the private room, "Master Fu, I'm sorry, I have something to take care of, so I'll have to leave first. Next time, I will definitely entertain you properly again. Xiao Wang, please entertain the master for me!"
After saying these words, he disappeared into the doorway of the private room.
Inside the private room, the man known as Master Fu walked to the window that Wang Zhenhua had just opened.
He glanced down and saw the person below. He narrowed his eyes slightly, clearly not expecting to run into them here.
Master Fu smirked, turned to Xiao Wang, who had been left behind by Wang Zhenhua, and asked, "Comrade Wang, what is the relationship between the people downstairs and your boss, Mr. Wang?"
“They’re relatives of our Mr. Wang,” Xiao Wang explained with a polite smile, while gesturing to the table, “Master Fu, this way please. Mr. Wang probably has some things to attend to, so how about I have a few drinks with you first…”
"No rush, no rush, let's watch the show first." Master Fu waved his hand, glanced down again, and then, as if remembering something, made a hand seal to conceal his aura.
Downstairs, Wang Zhenhua had already run to Qiao Changdong and the others.
Wang Zhenhua ran downstairs, asked about the situation, and learned that the restaurant's turtle had attacked people for no reason. His face immediately darkened.
He is not Wang Xinghua.
Wang Xinghua is, after all, a teacher, and his temperament is naturally gentle.
Even when angry, he acts like a nice guy when questioning the hotel manager, unlike Wang Zhenhua who is always in the business world and manages hundreds of people in his company.
When his face hardened, he became particularly imposing.
The hotel manager dared not be negligent any longer and apologized even more sincerely.
Not only did they waive all the fees for their private room today, but they also had the hotel staff immediately go to the nearest large shopping mall that was still open to buy Wang Chun an outfit that would suit her.
While the hotel manager was doing these things, three hotel staff members were also trying to figure out a way to get the turtle back to the pavilion.
But the turtle couldn't move anymore, and it was tied up, which was really heavy.
They tied its shell with rope, and even four male waiters couldn't lift it with a carrying pole!
Just as they were anxiously wondering what to do, the turtle suddenly started acting up again.
First, it bit through the three ropes binding it, then turned around and rushed towards Qiao Changdong, who was still holding Qiao Qiao.
Their imposing momentum startled everyone once again.
Seeing how persistently it was chasing her, Qiao Qiao couldn't help but wonder if the turtle had really gone mad.
Just as I was thinking about whether I should do something, like breaking its legs to prevent it from actually hurting people during its rampage, I saw the turtle suddenly stop its frenzy.
She craned her neck toward Qiao Qiao, and in a very human-like way, started to shed tears.
