Shihua county, Shihua county, twice every three years,
Upstairs and downstairs outside the city, suddenly disappeared.
Every spring in March, or in the spring of October, a high wall and pavilions loom on the lake, and people come and go, but no sound is heard. According to legend, this is the reappearance of Shihua County at the bottom of Hongze Lake.
On the north bank of Hongze Lake, there is a Chai Zhuanglin in Liulin Town, a drum pier in Zhuangnan and a Liu Laosan there. That year, Liu Laosan was fishing at the bottom of the lake and happened to see Shihua County reappear. He put down his fishing net and went for a stroll in the city. Just arrived in the street, I saw a cauldron and a locust tree pole on the road. He thought, "People say that Shihua County is full of treasures, and this pot and pole may also be treasures! Just say it. " So he took to the street with an iron pot on his head and a shoulder pole in his hand. The top of the pot is heavy on the head, and the shoulder pole is fork-shaped in your hand, which is inconvenient to walk. He threw away the pole and ran all over the street with the iron pot. I saw that every household was closed and locked, and there was no one in the street. He just walked out of the street, and in the blink of an eye, the county seat was gone. He still has an iron pot on his head.
Back home, Liu Laosan set up an iron pot to cook. Cooking, rice can't fit; Cooking, delicious food. Eat everything until he says, "How can this pot be like this?" I just can't eat it. "At that time, there was no food in the pot.
Decades later, one day, an old man with a white beard passed by his house, and it was getting late, so he stayed at Liu Laosan's house. Liu Laosan used this iron pot to make fish and stick cakes, and used a pot to entertain the old white tiger. There are also four Yanghe Daqu at home, and two people are chatting while eating and drinking. It's strange that the old white tiger eats everything when he sees that there are not many fish and cakes in his pot. He asked, "Is this a god pot?" Liu Laosan smiled and told the story of picking up this pot and pole from Shihua County decades ago.
The old white tiger hurriedly asked about the whereabouts of the pole. Liu Laosan said, "I threw it away." The old white tiger asked, "Do you remember what wood that pole is?" Liu Laosan said: "I remember it seems to be Sophora japonica." The anxious old white tiger only patted his thigh: "Oh, what a fool! All you know is that this pot is worth more than a pole. Do you know that locust stalk is a golden key? With it, the doors of government offices, vaults and shops on the street can be opened. Those treasures are inexhaustible, aren't they more precious than this iron pot? "
The next morning, the old white tiger was leaving. When he went outside the door, he suddenly saw a small pagoda tree with a teacup thick among the willows. He went up to him, looked up and down a few times and praised him again and again: "Hey! This little locust tree is not good! Tall and slim. " Liu Laosan said angrily, "Hum! It took more than 30 years to make it as thick as a teacup. I have long wanted to shave it off, and you are still bragging. " The old white tiger repeatedly said, "Don't plan, don't plan! If this tree grows for another three years, sell it to me and give you three thousand two hundred pieces of silver. " As he spoke, he took out a silver ingot from his pocket: "Here! This is fixed money. Three years later, at 3: 30 noon on March 3, I took 3,200 pieces of silver to get the tree. "
After the old white tiger left, the more Liu Laosan thought about it, the more surprised he felt: a small tree this thick, no matter how long it takes 300 years, is not worth 3,200 taels of silver! Why does this old white tiger have to pay such a big price for my little tree? Maybe it can open the gate of Shihua county with a pole? I can't sell it.
Liu Laosan made a good plan. Three years later, on March 3, he sawed the small tree into a pole early in the morning. At this moment, Shihua County appeared again. He quickly slipped into the city, went straight to the county government warehouse with a pole, and took away a lot of gold and silver treasures and pearls and agates. As soon as he went out with these treasures, the door of the vault closed automatically. After a walk, Shihua County disappeared. Only then did he realize that he had accidentally left the locust tree pole in the vault and forgot to take it out.
Liu Laosan has just moved these treasures back, which is exactly three minutes at noon. The old white tiger is standing in front of the door, waiting for him with 3200 glistening silver in his hand.
When Liu Laosan saw the old man Bai Hu, he quickly said, "Shi Xian, thanks to your suggestion, I sawed off the locust tree and made it into a pole. I went to Shihua county and took so many gold and silver jewelry. Now I don't want you to have 3,200 pieces of silver, but I will also give you three gold ingots as a reward! "
The old white tiger sighed and asked, "Did you see anything when you went to town this time?" Liu Laosan said, "I saw how long a big fat pig's head stretched out and wanted to eat that pile of grass, but it was tied by a big chain and I couldn't reach it." The old white tiger said, "Why don't you let go of the big fat pig and eat that pile of grass?" Liu Laosan said, "I don't have time for those things." The old white tiger said, "If you let pigs eat grass, the Qing Dynasty will be extinct." When asked what else he saw, Liu Laosan said, "I also saw an oil lamp that was about to go out." "Why don't you add some oil?" asked the old white tiger. Liu Laosan said, "I didn't care either." Old White Tiger said, "Add some oil and the Ming Dynasty will recover." Asked what else he saw, Liu Laosan said, "I also saw some white sheep, antelope and black sheep. They are all ruining the flowers and plants in the big garden!" "Old man Bai Hu said," Aren't you in charge of this again? " Liu Laosan said, "I'm only interested in getting the treasure. What does it matter? "The old white tiger said," If you drive those sheep away, foreigners will be finished. You are so confused! Liu Laosan was so anxious that he stamped his feet, regretting that he only cared about getting rich and forgot the world events.
