The Emperor's Life of a Wretched Man

In the 70s of the last world, the Yellow River was flooded. It is said that although it rained heavily at that time, the water level has been normal.

But suddenly after a heavy rain, a huge vortex suddenly appeared in the ancient Yellow River Road, and several huge unknown creatures appeared in the flood###.

These unidentified creatures spiraled down the flood water, rammed all the way in the water, broke all the stone bridges across the ancient road, and later broke the dam blocking the river, and went straight to the East China Sea.

So that flood was particularly serious.Immediately after the flood, the Yellow River Management Committee inspected the dam and found a large hole in the middle of the dam, which was so big that a train could pass through it.

At that time, no one could say exactly what the huge creatures that were criss-crossing the water were, but according to eyewitnesses at the time, the giant monsters hovering in the water at that time were very much like the dragons in folklore.

In the folk, the saying that this kind of dragon goes down the flood all the way, and finally gallops away is called Zoujiao.

Moreover, according to national archives, when excavating the ancient Yellow River road, a huge stone cave that could almost accommodate a train was also found in the ancient road. The walls of the cave are smooth, as if there were indeed huge creatures living there.

Some people even said that when the river workers were cleaning the river, they unearthed a huge keel in the mud.

Later, this matter was reported to the higher authorities, but the keel was secretly taken away by a truck, and there was no further news. Huang He, who can explain clearly?

The inscription on the fourth pillar: "In the fourth year of Tianqi (1592 A.D.) of Emperor Xizong of the Ming Dynasty, the river broke through the Kuishan embankment and filled the city. The water depth was one foot and three feet, and the people drowned. .”

The place where the flood broke the embankment was in the north embankment of Kuishan on the other side of the stone pillar. The disaster happened at night on the [-]th day of the seventh lunar month.

Many floods in history have also caused ancient cities such as Gupi, Luliang, Peicheng, and Liucheng near Pengcheng to sink underground.

However, Weishan Lake was formed during the Song and Yuan Dynasties. Due to the silt raised by the Yellow River, the Sishui riverbed was occupied by the Yellow River, and the water from the upper reaches was stagnant, forming Weishan Lake, Zhaoyang Lake, and Dushan Lake. Lake and Nanyang Lake.

In Weishan Lake, there is also the legend of "flooding eighteen cities"!The floods of Yi, Shu, Si, and Huang made Xuzhou collectively called "flood corridor".

The stagnation of Yihe River formed Luoma Lake and Huangdun Lake.The change of the river has created scenes of human tragedies in the Xuzhou area where urban and rural areas have sunk.

The inscription on the fifth column reads: "After entering the Qing Dynasty, the river was in constant trouble. In the 22nd year of Qianlong (1557 A.D.), the emperor inspected the river defense and ordered the construction of stone embankments to strengthen the river moat. In the fifth year of Xianfeng, the Yellow River diverted its course and migrated northward into the sea."

The dry river course has become a sandy desert area, and the wind blows sand and damages the ecological environment on both sides. An old folk song says, "The wind blows three feet of sand, and the loess buries the crops; the old man lives to 58, and the sand he eats can bury him."

During the flood season, the runoff in the riverbed will also surge and flood, endangering urban and rural areas... The longer the history, the more the past of the ancestors is forgotten.

"The world's dragon veins start from Kunlun and end at Mount Tai. Every dynasty and generation of China has its own dragon veins, and the Yellow River is a giant dragon that soars above the nine heavens of China.

It keeps rewriting the fate of China, you don't want him to change course, you want him to flow quietly?Is it still called the Yellow River? "

When Huang Youqian said this, the food was already on the table, he sat down with Suo Luo, and suddenly began to sing the ancient songs of the Yellow River in a hoarse voice.

In the hoarse voice, there was a touch of desolation from ancient times, and the wrinkled face seemed to be a history of the Yellow River in China.

No one like Solo would have thought that an ordinary old man could remember the history of the Yellow River so clearly and profoundly.

In his mind, how many unknown secrets are he planning to bring into the grave?

The singing stopped, and Village Chief Huang invited everyone to eat. A few wild vegetables and half-clay pot cornmeal steamed buns. This may be the most sumptuous meal that Huangni Village can provide for guests.

It is almost hard to describe it as poverty, but they still silently guard the old section of the Yellow River that has been abandoned for thousands of years, persistently refusing to leave.

Fortunately, there was still half a barrel of corn wine, so Solo didn't dislike it, and drank happily with Village Chief Huang. Perhaps Bai Xue and Tang Ling were also infected by the old man's singing, so they didn't dislike it either, and ate their meals with difficulty.

"Village Chief Huang, I heard that the higher-ups wanted to move Huangni Village several times and let you go to a richer place with more arable land. Why did you refuse? Even if it's not for yourself, you should also think about future generations!"

Solo glanced at the two children lying at the door swallowing their saliva and asked, then turned to look at Tang Ling.

Bai Xue and Tang Ling got up almost at the same time, went to their bags, took out some of their favorite snacks, distributed them to the two children, and took them out to play.

The corner of Village Chief Huang's eyes kept pretending to be squinting at Bai Xue and Tang Ling inadvertently. There was a frenzied light of excitement trying to suppress it, but it was not an evil thought, but a different kind of spark that he didn't want to be seen.

After a few cups of old wine, Village Chief Huang also talked more. After listening to Solo's words, he looked up at Solo and said:

"Don't talk about us here, look at the villages on both sides of the Yellow River. Since ancient times, floods have swallowed entire cities.

The Yellow River diverted its course and blew thousands of miles away. Wherever it went, the people and animals on both sides of the Yellow River were either buried in the yellow soup or lost their homes and became homeless.

Living by the Yellow River, which family has not been dragged by the Yellow River?Who doesn't know the horror of the Yellow River?But after the flood, you have seen which Yellow River people did not return to the Yellow River.

The Yellow River is the root of China, and it is the belief of our Yellow River people for generations, and we cannot live without it.

Just like here, although the Yellow River doesn't want us anymore, it used to flow through here, but we can't let her go.

Under the thick silt of the old road, many unknown secrets of the past are buried. These secrets contain too many taboos, too many weirdness, and weirdness, but the people of the Yellow River will not lose their roots.

Take the management of the Yellow River as an example. From Dayu to the present, which one is not controlling the floods of the Yellow River, but who can control the Yellow River?

I think the governance is also messing about. If the iron-headed dragon king in the Yellow River is not happy, even if you have a levee made of steel and iron, she will block the river with her body, and it will still be a vast ocean?

Those of us who live in the Yellow River have lived by the Yellow River for generations. Few of our families died in the Yellow River, but there is no one who does not believe in and worship the Yellow River.

We people, not only don't want to cure the Yellow River, we don't even have the idea of ​​water control. We only believe in the Iron-headed Dragon King living in the Yellow River and respect the King of the Yellow River.

What we want is to build a great king's temple on the Yellow River, and go to worship the five animals on the New Year's Day, so that the Yellow River King can feel at ease, and the weather will naturally be smooth, and the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe.

"Village Chief Huang, why did the King of the Yellow River send out floods after accepting the offering?" Solo asked.
