Locked Dragon Well!
Next to the well is a large iron pot-shaped tree.
It is said to have a history of more than 500 years.
And the Lock Dragon Well next to it is even older.
There's also a legend about the Locked Dragon Well.
Legend has it that in ancient times, a wicked dragon caused havoc here, flooding the land and killing countless people. When Emperor Xin learned of the dragon's mischief, he ordered his ministers to lead an army to suppress it.
This Dragon-Locking Well was dug by the ministers who were suppressing the evil dragon, with the combined efforts of their entire clan.
Rumor has it that the evil dragon is lustful, so this minister selected five hundred beautiful women from all over the world to be thrown into the well. The evil dragon was indeed fooled and trapped in the well.
To prevent it from escaping, the minister who was suppressing the evil dragon gathered all the skilled craftsmen in the land to create a dragon-locking chain, which firmly restrained it. Then, he put the lid on and finally suppressed the evil dragon.
After the evil dragon was suppressed, the floodwaters receded, allowing the ancestors to live and thrive here.
The evil dragon was trapped and spent its days weeping. Its tears flowed from the well, slowly washing away the water to form a small stream, which then grew larger and larger.
Thousands of years have passed, the world has changed, the dynasties of yesteryear have vanished, but the stream has become a river.
Then one day, Juxia City was flooded again. The people thought that the evil dragon that had been locked up for thousands of years was about to be reborn. So they wrote a petition and appealed to Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
Upon learning of this, Old Zhu personally came and planted the iron pot-shaped jujube.
The Emperor then declared: "As long as the Iron Pot Tree survives, the evil dragon will never be born."
Since the beginning of the new century, with the rise of the internet in recent years, coupled with this mysterious legend, this place has gradually become a tourist attraction.
Many couples come here to take photos.
Especially at night, couples would run to the big locust tree at Suolongjing to pray.
There are many love locks on the tree, and many lit red candles under the tree.
What's it called, "A Lifetime of Candlelight"?
Many couples bought them and lit them under the big locust tree.
Many of them went out after burning only halfway.
Just like their love, it couldn't last.
Keisha watched the young couples walk past her, chatting and laughing, all lovey-dovey, and she felt no envy.
She looked down at Zhou Mo and said, "Xiao Mo, I also want to light candles."
Zhou Mo said, "Sis, those are couple candles, only couples light them."
"I didn't mean anything by it, I just wanted to light a candle and see if it could burn out."
"But it doesn't say that a person can't light a candle, does it?" Zhou Mo shook his head helplessly.
Keisha angrily slapped Zhou Mo on the back of the head, then walked over to the old man selling candles and asked, "Do you have any individual candles?"
"These are two together, called 'A Lifetime Candle'."
The old man actually wanted to sell both of them together.
"Please break one open for me, I just want one."
"You can buy both together," the old man advised.
"Twenty yuan for both!"
“But I only want one,” Keisha said firmly.
This is something the old man can't figure out.
"You can buy two, then break them apart yourself, and that makes one!"
"Then why can't you sell me one?"
"Little girl, it's not that I don't want to sell it to you, it's just that if I break it open, I won't be able to sell it anymore."
Good guy.
In other words, the old man didn't know Keisha's age.
Otherwise, the old man would definitely kowtow twice first.
Zhou Mo couldn't stand it anymore and directly scanned twenty yuan.
"Sir, could you please give me a 'forever and ever' candle?"
"Young man, you have a girlfriend too?"
Zhou Mo: ? ?
What do you mean I have a boyfriend/girlfriend too!
"I don't have a partner."
The old man gave Zhou Mo a candle.
Zhou Mo pried it apart from the bottom, separating it into two pieces, but one of them had a broken bottom and couldn't stand up.
Keisha was a little happy to receive a candle.
The two walked together to the big locust tree, lit the candles with the flames of other candles, and then dripped the candles onto the blue bricks. The red wax dripped onto the blue bricks, the temperature dropped sharply, and it solidified very quickly. The candles had to be fixed in place quickly so that they could stand up.
People around them were looking at Zhou Mo and Keisha with strange eyes.
However, neither of them cared about what others thought.
Zhou Mo's candle couldn't stand up because it was uneven, so he simply gave up.
However, Keisha picked up Zhou Mo's candle and glued it back together with wax: "Isn't this enough?"
The two candles, now reattached, are clearly of different sizes, but the flames are very strong and the wax burns very quickly.
However, Zhou Mo and Keisha left the Locked Dragon Well before it dried up.
The evening breeze blows along the riverbank, and the weeping willows sway on the shore.
It brought a touch of coolness to the increasingly hot summer.
The roadside food stalls smell wonderful.
Knowing that his older sister liked Earth's snacks, Zhou Mo took the initiative to say, "Sis, I didn't eat dinner tonight, let's buy some more food."
"it is good!"
Keisha nodded and started walking around with Zhou Mo.
Here you can find skewers, stinky tofu, grilled cold noodles, duck intestine rice noodles, and more.
Zhou Mo saw that there were smoked meat pancakes for sale, so he took Keisha to buy two.
The two ate and watched TV, and then bought another plate of grilled squid.
Keisha ate happily, looking at Zhou Mo with a mix of emotions: There are so many civilizations in the universe, many of which are more prosperous than Earth, but only Earth has him.
As Zhou Mo walked, he was suddenly drawn to a sign in front of him.
The pink and purple fairy lights look very charming.
It says "Adult...product store" on it.
Main business: ...
There was a young couple inside, and they seemed to be discussing something.
Keisha glared at Zhou Mo, who was captivated by the sight, and simply dragged him away from this inappropriate place for children.
"What other good food is available here?"
After being pulled along by Keisha for a while, Zhou Mo thought for a moment and pointed ahead: "I remember there's a roasted rabbit shop over there. Their hand-shredded spicy rabbit is delicious."
Keisha had never eaten rabbit meat before, and she thought that such a cute little animal must be very soft to hold in her arms.
"How could you bring yourself to eat such a cute little thing?"
Yes, that's how people who haven't tried it feel. Once they actually try it, the truth will be automatically revealed.
Zhou Mo said, "The spicy rabbit head smells delicious!"
Keisha expressed her doubts.
Soon, the two of them arrived at the roasted rabbit shop.
Spicy Five-Spice Rabbit.
This shop has been here for over 20 years, has a good reputation, and is doing very well.
At the shop entrance, Keisha saw a plate of roasted rabbits, golden brown and emitting a fragrant aroma.
Each rabbit was skinned, gutted, and then skewered on iron skewers and roasted.
"Want to buy one and try it?"
Keisha looked at the tempting-looking rabbits and reminded them, "Buy a few more..."
Zhou Mo said, "???"
"My best friend is here on Earth too. I'm buying more so she can try it too."
A mischievous little monster who was secretly watching the screen suddenly felt that this best friend was still salvageable.
After it was all packed...
Snap....
Boom...
The night sky, which was originally dotted with stars, was suddenly covered with dark clouds.
Strictly speaking, Juxia City is located in the south, at the mouth of a major river. It is now in the rainy season, with humid air and continuous rain.
Rain is very common.
Soon, fine raindrops, as fine as cow's hair, began to fall from the sky.
"It's raining, let's go back." Zhou Mo saw the drizzle falling on Keisha's shoulder.
Keisha gently tapped her chin.
Just as Zhou Mo was preparing to find a secluded corner to summon the dimensional barrier,
An old man suddenly slipped and fell between two stone blocks, which came into his view.
The old man had white hair and a hunched back, as if he couldn't stand up anymore.
People walked past him, and even if they saw him, they didn't dare to go up and help him.
When some children tried to help, their parents stopped them.
Keisha observed the indifference of these Earthlings and sighed, "Xiao Mo, you humans are really complicated. Sometimes you can give your life for strangers, and sometimes you are as indifferent as a cold-blooded animal without feelings."
Zhou Mo shook his head and sighed softly: "That's because the trust value has been exhausted."
As he spoke, he took out his phone and started recording video.
Keisha frowned slightly: "Why?"
"Because there are bad people who specialize in extorting money from others."
Walking up to the old man, Zhou Mo said, "Grandpa, you fell down on your own. Now I'm going to help you up. You can't try to extort money from me, can you? I'm recording a video here."
The old man sighed, "I'm not trying to extort money, I just want to go and see the Locked Dragon Well."
Zhou Mo slowly helped the old man to his feet.
He was wearing a green military uniform with a hat that had a red five-pointed star on it.
He looks like an older generation soldier.
Zhou Mo also saw several military medals on his chest. Although the old man was thin, his eyes were firm and he looked very imposing, but a trace of sadness was revealed.
"Cough cough..." The old man coughed twice.
Zhou Mo helped him sit on a stone stool to rest.
The old man looked at Zhou Mo and Keisha and smiled, "Young man, thank you and your wife."
Zhou Mo suddenly felt a tightness all over his body, and then he saw Keisha with a half-smile.
