Time is fleeting and never returns, and the past can only be recalled.

For the vast majority of people, if they can live in a particularly good era, they will not have much effort to reminisce.

Because there are more and more new things, and they are getting better and better, and the old ones should be thrown into the Joy Bucket.

But the tragedy of every age is that it has many facets, and it is not possible to get better at every one.

Therefore, people will begin to reminisce, and what they recall is not the suffering of the past, but the glittering beauty in the hardship.

Just like the aborigines of Wushuang City, they occasionally climb to the top of the mountain, and then overlook the lake and talk about the beauty of the past.

At that time, Xiling was so rich that there was even a street paved with gold in Beicheng.

Whenever Wan takes a treasure ship to return to the sea, as long as he is lucky enough, he can pick up wealth that will not be spent in a lifetime.

There are also girls from Tianxianglou and Miaoyinfang, if they can take a look, they can teach their souls for a few days, and they can have a spring breeze, even if they live and die immediately, they can have no regrets.

And beyond!

The old people will raise their hands, as if pointing to the country.

Every autumn, the golden ears of wheat stretch on the Lingjiang Plain, as if there is no end to the waves, the grain that crops three times a year, and every time the harvest comes, the lord of Xiling will recruit agricultural workers on a large scale.

Even the peasants and workers at the bottom of Lingjiang, as long as they work hard for a few days, they don't have to worry about not having the money to buy grain, they can still eat meat every three or five days, and their lives are even better than they are living in Wushuang City now.

Merchants from all over Longzhou will stay in Xiling, because the wealth here is immeasurable, and legend has it that there are several auction houses, which can auction more than a billion gold collections in one night, and the people who pay are Xiling noblewomen.

It was a truly heavenly place, self-sufficient, and after the promulgation of the five-acre land order, all the people had a greater head.

But now, there is no such paradise-like place in Lingjiang, even Chaochang looks lifeless.

Most of the old people's memories cannot be believed, because if the image in their mouth comes true, then it should be a middle peasant, not a middle-aged laborer, or the kind of poor laborer tainted with the habits of a rich family.

After all, it's hard for people to imagine scenes they haven't seen, so children who grew up in Wushuang City would never believe that there would be a big ship that would desperately scatter coins as soon as it returned, and still scatter so much.

Curious, they will ask, but as soon as the elders who were blowing up just now heard the details of the juniors' questions, their faces changed suddenly, and they scolded and scolded with a tiger face.

This must be a weak heart, so every time like this, the younger generations should have a good time, after all, the facts and legends are too inconsistent, and bragging has become a commentary on the truth.

The old people in Xiling can naturally understand the helplessness and ridicule in the eyes of the younger generations, but how can they defend themselves.

Although they don't know much about the truth, they still know such a simple truth for His Holiness, no matter how evil the legend of the Dragons' West Alliance is.

In the hearts of these old people in Xiling, the Wancheng treasure ship is a ship full of happiness, and the sailors on it are all heroes of Xiling.

And as the number of craftsmen entering the city increases, so does the number of residents who climb the mountain.

Because I couldn't grab the job, I simply didn't go to the city wall to sit down, got a few small dishes to eat, carried a small bottle of three taels of turbid wine and swayed up the mountain, bragging about eating vegetables, and making a fuss was the whole day afternoon.

Many refreshed craftsmen discovered the direction of the inhabitants of the inner city, and set up stalls along the mountain road, some selling snacks and some alcohol, turning the road up the mountain into a small market with no end in sight, and in this way, attracting more people to go up the mountain.

Since the farmer's disciple rented all the business of the vegetable stall, he has become a homeless person who has nothing to do.

Although they have nothing to do, but the solid family foundation in the early years is enough for them to eat and drink, these days are either playing cards on the mountain, or drinking on the mountain, as for the scenery, they probably don't look at it.

After all, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, it's just a matter of seeing it a few more times, how can you win or lose.

It's just that I don't know what's going on today, a few peasant disciples who are playing cards in the half-mountain pavilion always look at Lingjiang from time to time, and then turn back after looking at it for a while.

Finally, someone couldn't hold it back, put down the pai gow in his hand, and asked the players uncertainly: "I don't know if it's wrong, do you think that the water level of this river seems to have become lower?"

It's like an initiation, this sentence woke up a few card players, and several people fought for their own discovery, and then discussed it gossipily.

......

The water level of the Lingjiang River is getting lower

There is nothing surprising about things like this, the ebb and flow of the tide is the norm of the river, and the fisherman who begs for a living on the water all the year round has summed up a set of laws about the ebb and flow of the tide.

The first important law of this high tide is rain, if there is abundant rain, then the river is bound to rise, if it rains heavily, there should even be floods.

And the second important law is the stars in the sky, especially the two Taiyin and the sun, thousands of years of law exploration, now most of the fishermen can see a little tide from the celestial phenomena.

For example, if the double stars are in the same position, then there will be a great tide, the double star is reversed, and the tide is expected, and there is a small tide in the upper chord and a small tide in the lower chord.

Now in June, it is the day of the double star in the same position, and the rain is abundant, the water level should skyrocket, but how did it fall?

The fishermen were puzzled, and this matter became a strange thing to talk about in the streets of Wushuang City.

If this happened somewhere else, then most of the people would be talking about horror stories such as the descent of abnormal changes, natural disasters or evil spirits, and at the same time, there would be some gods and wives from all over the country, and the gods and gods would talk about the lives of those who believe in me, and the unfortunate ones will be doomed.

But Wushuang City is different, and the people can't understand it, so they will gather on the bulletin board in front of the city hall and ask the city hall to come out and give an explanation.

So far, the town hall has given a lot of inexplicable things to say, and these seemingly useless things have cultivated trust between the people and the town hall.

So much so that when the water level fell during the high tide, people did not panic, but hoped that the city hall would give an explanation.

But what can the city hall say, because of the recent entry of a large number of craftsmen into the city, these people have been very busy.

Several municipal officials in charge of household registration have not been home since last month, and you can smell the stench on them from a distance of three feet, and it is certainly unrealistic to expect such a group of people to know the ebb and flow of the tide.

But since the people put forward reasonable demands, the city hall naturally has to find a way to meet them, and it just so happens that some of the wind media that Yun Shi has returned have now joined the wind media department, just making up for the lack of manpower in the wind media at this time, and took over the task to investigate.
