"Uncle San, I'm not as brave as Chu Sen, don't scare me."

"No one is trying to scare you. Hurry up and change the container that holds the turtle, or you'll be in trouble."

I didn't dare to delay, even though it was already past seven o'clock in the evening, I still went out to buy a clay pot.

But the daily necessities stores have closed, and the small daily necessities stores on the roadside only sell clay pots, not earthenware jars.

I was lucky. After walking around for a long time, I finally found an abandoned clay pot in front of an old red brick residential building. So I quickly found a small car to transport the clay pot and left.

When I got home, I cleaned the clay jar and respectfully placed the tortoise in it. Miraculously, when I turned on the computer, the black screen was no longer there.

When I sat down in front of the computer, I suddenly thought of something and was so angry that I slapped my forehead.

My third uncle told me to tie a bronze plate on the turtle's back when I sold it, but I forgot about it. No wonder no one was interested in the turtle.

Thinking of this, I hurried to find the bronze medal, but the problem was that I didn’t know where it was. I searched all my pockets but couldn’t find it.

I can’t call my third uncle this time, otherwise he will definitely say that I am too unreliable and I won’t be able to hang out with him anymore.

I calmed down and thought carefully. After my third uncle gave me the bronze medal, I put it in my pocket. So the bronze medal must be in the pocket of the clothes I was wearing that day. That clothes was a relatively high-end down jacket, and I sent it to be dry-cleaned.

When I thought of this, I immediately broke out in a sweat and hurried downstairs to the dry cleaner in the community to ask about the situation.

It had only been two days since the delivery, and the clothes still hadn't been washed, but the owner insisted that he hadn't seen any bronze medal. He didn't seem like he was lying, and there was nothing I could do. I couldn't search the laundry from top to bottom, so I had no choice but to go home.

Lying on the bed, I began to think about what to do with this turtle, because without the bronze medal, it is just an ordinary turtle. Since it has no value , there is no point in keeping it. Otherwise, I will just throw it away when I get the chance. Anyway, my uncle won't come to check on me. Besides, keeping a turtle with such heavy yin energy around will be a disaster.

Thinking of this, I felt relieved. At least I don’t have to set up a stall at the fish, bird, flower and insect market every Wednesday. Although I can’t make 80,000 yuan, I can have some free time.

Just as I had this thought, my cell phone rang.

It was probably already past one in the morning. Who would call in the middle of the night?

After the call was connected, a trembling male voice said, "Is this Mr. Yu?"

"It's me, who are you?"

"I, I am, yes, oh! I work in the laundry."

"Oh, I found my bronze medal?"

"Yes, yes, please come over and get it."

I was so excited when I got back the 80,000 yuan that I forgot the thought in the blink of an eye.

I trotted all the way to the laundry shop in the neighborhood. The door was open and the young owner, wearing a thin nightgown, squatted on the ground, smoking a cigarette with his head drooped. I asked, "Where did you find my bronze medal?"

He looked up at me and sighed, "Please come and take a look. I really don't know what to do."

I was stunned for a moment and asked, "You don't stutter, why did you stutter so badly on the phone just now?"

"You'll know soon." Then he led the way into the laundry.

The laundry shop is located on the side of the main road in the community. It is run by a young couple. Although I don’t know their names, they have been working here for four or five years and I have known them for a long time.

The laundry room has two floors, the lower floor is for business and the upper floor is for living. The boss took me through a narrow passage full of hanging clothes and went directly to the second floor.

"You shouldn't be so careful as to put things on the second floor?" I said.

"You'll know soon." He still said this.

The stairs leading to the second floor were also very narrow and at a large angle, making me feel like I was climbing a ladder. From downstairs I could hear the faint snoring of a woman on the second floor.

"Is your wife sleeping? It's not convenient for me to go up there," I said.

"It's okay, just come up."

So we went upstairs one after the other. The space on the second floor was not high, which made people feel a little depressed. There was only a bed and a table in the room with a laptop on the table. It was clean and tidy. The proprietress was sleeping soundly with her shoulders half exposed and her back to me.

"Why did you bring me here?" I asked puzzled.

"The bronze medal is hanging around my wife's neck?" he whispered to me in panic.

I didn't react for a moment, and just as I was hesitating, I heard a sinister laugh and said, "Wen Guang, are you here?"

"Oh, it's me." The boss looked even more panicked. He kept pointing forward, but in the direction of his finger there was nothing except a window.

"What do you mean?" I lowered my voice to the lowest point.

"Look at the window at the bottom near the bed." I looked as I was told, and was shocked to see a pale face and a pair of eyes with no whites but only black pupils.

The combination of white and black made her face look extremely weird , and she was still smiling silently. That extremely strange expression made people feel a chill from the bottom of their hearts.

She just smiled silently and didn't say anything else. The more I looked at her, the more scared I became, so I turned around and went downstairs.

The boss followed me and seemed to be more frightened than me.

"What's going on?" I asked.

"I guess it's that bronze medal of yours that's causing the problem." He said, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"But how did your wife get hold of this bronze medal? Didn't you say you couldn't find it?"

"I swear I didn't know anything at the beginning. This thing, this thing... Oh!" He sighed heavily and said, "I know I can't explain it clearly."

"Then you have to tell me, what happened?"

"I think it happened when you dropped off your clothes for dry cleaning. My wife wasn't in the right mood that night. When she spoke to me, her tone and demeanor were completely different."

"Tell me in detail what changes have taken place."

"My wife grew up in the countryside and is very conservative. I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but even the underwear she buys is made of the most old-fashioned cloth or cotton. She has absolutely no interest in life. Earlier, I took her to watch a pornographic movie at home , but she didn't dare to watch it. The passion between us has been fading over the years, but that night, she suddenly changed her clothes and dressed as sexy as she could. And her voice, the way she looked at people, even actors couldn't compare to her."

"At first I thought she was joking, but who knew later..."

"Don't go into too much detail. I know the general idea. He's just really good at teasing people. He teases you to the point of wanting more, right?"

"That's right, I've never enjoyed this kind of treatment, but I've seen this way of getting along in videos. My wife is even more exciting than those women in porn movies. She was in this state for the next few days, and no matter how much I fed her, she was never satisfied. I was really exhausted." He shook his head helplessly when he said this.

"Such a big change, haven't you grown more cautious?"

"To be honest, I was completely lost for those two days and couldn't think of anything else. But later on, I still found it strange. Every night when she was making trouble, she always wore a tight little vest. In fact, I noticed last night that she had a small round plaque on her body. I wanted to lift her clothes to see, but as soon as I moved, she would immediately pin my wrists down. I felt that she was extremely strong, much stronger than me. That's when I realized something was wrong."

"It just so happened that you came to see me again tonight. I knew the bronze medal my wife was carrying was definitely yours, but I didn't dare tell her because I was worried it would be difficult to get. I originally wanted to cut the red string on the medal while she was asleep and then return it to you. But who knew that as soon as the scissors touched the string, she woke up, and when she opened her eyes, she looked like the horrible person you see now."

"So that's why you thought of calling me?"

"Mr. Yu, I'm not trying to take advantage of you. Even if I were blind, I wouldn't be so greedy as to covet a bronze medal. It's not that I don't want to return the bronze medal to you, but I don't have the ability to take it off my wife's neck."

I sighed and said, "I don't have the ability, but I know someone who can win the bronze medal."
