#Share photos of the beauty of your hometown#Do you know how many years this old locust tree has survived? Listening to the older generation of people say about three hundred years, no one can say how many years it is, because it is said that from birth, I have seen this big locust tree look like this, but I just think that it has a history, and no one knows exactly what it grew in the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty. I only know that it has witnessed the change of history and the change of time. No matter what kind of hard environment, it grows silently and tenaciously, fearless of wind and rain, drought and flood, year after year, day after day, through spring, summer, autumn and winter. Its flowers are fragrant, and the fruit is commonly known as locust rice, the kind of flowers and fruits that can be used in medicine. It is slightly different from the kind of locust flowers eaten in the north. So when the whole village is young, the children of the whole village can walk around, under its wide canopy you can enjoy the shade and pick up some locust rice locust flowers to sell for a small money.
When I was very young, I didn't know what was going on in the summer of that year, the two large branches of the old locust tree facing north and south suddenly dried up and died, and the villagers heard the legend of the older generation that whichever direction the dead branch corresponds to that home will die, and the people were very worried at that time, and the villagers sighed when they saw the dead branches of the old locust tree!
However, people did die in the two directions corresponding to the village that year, two in the north and one in the south. One was an old man who died of illness, a young man who could not be cured and committed suicide, and another was a middle-aged man who shipped a truck, which was a little panicked at that time. Then the villagers hung red cloth strips on its branches, saying that it could ward off evil. At that time, Hou was very scared, and there was always a question in his heart, is the old locust tree like a fairy tale that you can speak? After growing up and going to school, after learning knowledge, I feel that the old people are a little superstitious, but it is just an old locust tree, can it still become an immortal, and can still influence the life and death of people?
After that, there were also old people in the village who died normally, and the branches of the old locust tree dried up, from that year to the spring every spring after that year, the old locust tree continued to sprout and grow branches, until now this old locust tree grows longer and more lush like a rejuvenation, and those legends are slowly forgotten.
I still remember that my children were influenced by this legend, friends, have you also been affected by such a legend?
