Chapter 39: The Legend of the Town

Yang Qingtong heard that He Xianji had seen a handsome guy with blonde hair, and his eyes immediately glowed with a strange brilliance.

"Then do you remember the phone number he bought at the time?" She asked eagerly.

"Number? I thought, oh, right. I can't remember the number in front, only 0055 in the back. ”

Sure enough, it was the blonde Oba Hanyu. Yang Qingtong's brows were locked, she really didn't understand why he did this.

The two talked and chatted and finally came to the Liuhua River. It is said that a long time ago, peach blossoms were planted on both sides of the river, and chrysanthemums were planted on the other.

In spring, the river is filled with peach blossom petals. In autumn, chrysanthemums are reflected in the river. No matter how you look at it, you can feel that the river is full of endless flowers. And this bizarre landscape amazes all who see it. Hence the name of the Liuhua River.

But when he was very young, Yang Qingtong had never seen any beautiful flowers planted on both sides of the strait. On the south bank are straight poplars, and on the north bank are curved willows. It might be more appropriate to call it the Willow River.

Later, I learned from the mouths of the older generation that there was an old story in it.

It was in the Ming Dynasty, and the people on both sides of the strait lived in harmony and lived peacefully. Later, a eunuch came to the town on the north bank, saying that he was the father-in-law of Dongchang. He took a fancy to the environment and bought a large mansion.

He is very fond of chrysanthemums, and in addition to planting chrysanthemums in his own house, even every household must plant them. The area where chrysanthemums are planted all the way to the banks of the Liuhua River.

In the spring of one year, this father-in-law took his men to the river to go on a walk, and saw that the peach blossoms were blooming everywhere on the opposite bank, and he was very unhappy. He wants to cut down all the peach blossoms on the other side. However, his subordinates told him that there lived in the opposite town a general who had achieved great military achievements, and although he had returned to his hometown, his prestige and power were still there. Moreover, the old general's wife loves peach blossoms very much, and takes her to the river every spring to enjoy the flowers.

The father-in-law of Dongchang knew that if he wanted to cut down the peach tree directly, he was afraid that he would cause a lot of trouble. But if you don't cut it, you will be very unhappy.

Later, the eunuch thought of a poisonous plan and sent a small report to the emperor to falsely accuse the old general of rebellion. In the end, the emperor listened to the slander and gave the old general to death. But before the eunuch was happy for a few days, a chivalrous and courageous hero came to Peach Blossom Town, who was usually upset, and decided to eliminate harm for the people after hearing this.

On a dark and windy day, the hero killed this eunuch who brought disaster to the country and the people in his own chrysanthemum garden.

Since then, the inhabitants of the two towns have returned to the peaceful and peaceful days they used to have.

The people of Chrysanthemum Town cut down all the chrysanthemums because they hated the bad eunuchs. In Peach Blossom Town, after the death of the general, all the peach blossoms can no longer bloom. Therefore, there are no peach blossoms and chrysanthemums on both sides of the Liuhua River. Some are just the names of Peach Blossom Town and Chrysanthemum Town, and there is also a legend about "Peach Blossom Man vs. Chrysanthemum Monster".

Yang Qingtong looked at the turbulent river and couldn't help but think about it. When I got to the top of the dam, I saw that more than 100 people were fighting there.

It was in the busy crowd that I finally found Mayor Fang's figure.

"Qingtong, offer advice? Why did you guys get here? Mayor Fang was wearing a camouflage uniform, his face was covered with mud stains, and he was holding a shovel in his hand, and when he saw these two young people, he frowned slightly.

"We heard that there was a need for manpower on the dam, so we came here." And the offer said.

"What can you two do? A girl, a small body, is not material for work, hurry back, don't make a mess here. Elder Fang waved his hand and told them to leave quickly.

He Xianji smiled, "You can't do it if it's heavy, it's light." I'm going over there to help! ”

After speaking, He Xianji found a place with a lot of people and drilled over to help others carry sandbags.

Yang Qingtong sighed secretly in his heart, saying that southerners are very slippery. But I didn't expect their collective consciousness to be so strong.

At this time, two town staff members reported the situation to Mayor Fang. At present, the heavy rain has long stopped, and the water level has remained stable. It's just that the upstream needs to be discharged, and the situation here is critical again. The most important thing is that there is a twenty-five miles away that is in danger and needs support.

Mayor Fang saw that the work here was being carried out in an orderly manner, and if there were no accidents, all the emergency repair work could be completed before dark to ensure the safety of the dam.

Mayor Fang thought for a moment, then simply arranged the work here, and then led an armed police force that had just arrived here to prepare for the danger five miles away.

At this time, Lin Xiaozhi hurriedly ran over and told Mayor Fang that his superiors had called, saying that he was going to come here to inspect the work.

Inspection, inspection, and reception. According to the routine, in this case, you must be accompanied by the mayor. I can't go to the danger five miles away.

What to do? To go or not to go? He was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.

"Whatever, the danger is important, how can you have the time to receive the superior leaders at this time. Let's go! Mayor Fang said decisively.

"That's not good, this time the leadership level is relatively high, and the TV station is also here. Even if you're not bad at showing up on TV, at least someone has to know about the repair work here. In your absence, who reports to the leader? Lin Xiaozhi persuaded while stopping.

"So what do you say?"

"Mayor Fang, you still stay in charge of the work and continue to eliminate the danger of this section of the dam. I and other comrades went to a place five miles away, and there was no delay. Lin Xiaozhi suggested.

Mayor Fang hesitated for a moment, looked at Lin Xiaozhi and said, "The place five miles away is called Huoyuan Ridge, and even if you don't build the dam, the terrain is very treacherous. How can you do it if you don't know the place well. ”

Before Lin Xiaozhi could answer, he heard someone behind him shouting: "He's not familiar, I'm familiar!" I'll take them there. ”
