Folktales: The legend of the daughter city by the Hulan River

author:The Chronicle of the Journey

As early as the end of the Qing Dynasty, on the edge of the river loop, one hundred and fifty miles north of Hulan River Mansion, there was a long-shaped field where the dragon raised its head, and since the northeast opened up the land and occupied grass, several families were brought from Shandong, Henan, and Hebei. They cultivate the land here, and the land is really fertile, and it is black oil and sand. I don't know what year or month this treasure land left a ruined ancient city, the city wall is more than a long time, and there is also a three or four miles of land in the circle of the city. In those years, although the floor was good, there was not much food. When the army is in chaos, the people's livelihood is still not enough to eat. The old family living here has a family surnamed Wang, a family of five, although they say that they work hard, but their small life is still quite tight. One year it was Chinese New Year's Eve, the rich family killed pigs and slaughtered sheep, washed rice and milled bread dumplings, while the old Wang family only had half a bag of grain left.

The family was helpless, and Boss Wang was full of sorrow and fell asleep in the kang. In my dream, I saw a group of fairies dressed in flowers and green in the sky above the ancient city, riding colorful auspicious clouds. I heard a fairy say: "This family is hardworking and frugal, and it is difficult for a while, let's help him." At this time, Boss Wang saw all the fairies holding the clouds, standing on the city wall, and said to himself: "We are the sisters of the Great Golden Kingdom, and we now live in Changbaichi. Today is the New Year, and I waited for my sisters to go back to the old city to take a look, but I didn't expect that there would be such a poor home in our hometown. Alas, it really makes us careless. There is nothing else to give today, I think that when the gold dollar war, my family has gold and silver buried in the southeast corner of this city, you can quickly dig it out, buy land and produce a good life. With that, the fairy pulled a hairpin from her head and threw it downward. Only to hear a loud noise, the jade hairpin fell right on the southeast corner of the city. I saw golden sparkle and shook my eyes.

As soon as Boss Wang opened his eyes, his eyes were still glowing with golden flowers. Boss Wang told the old mother about dreaming of fairies. The old mother said, "This is the Fairy Manifestation, go quickly." Boss Wang picked up the pickaxe and went straight to the place where the jade hairpin fell, planing about a meter deep, revealing a white porcelain clay pot with the words "Sake Fat Sheep" written on the belly of the jar. When I opened the lid of the can, I couldn't see it, full of gold and silver ingots. The jar was raised, and under the jar was a golden dragon more than a foot long. This old man Wang Coke was broken, and he didn't care about wiping his sweat, took off his torn cotton jacket and wrapped it in gold and silver, and happily carried it home, and the old lady couldn't close her mouth with a smile. The next day, the brothers went to Hulan Province to buy cloth, pay off debts, and buy cars and horses. From then on, the sunrise worked and the sunset rested. Within a few years, the little days came in. After that, the common people called this desolate ancient city Daughter's City.
