Chapter 113 Longan
As the end of the year approaches, Song Wenjing was extremely interested and wanted to go to the city to buy some New Year supplies, such as candies, dried fruits, etc.
So he packed up and got on a minibus to Nanzhou. After arriving in Nanzhou, he took a tricycle to Nanzhou's dried fruit wholesale market.
When buying dried fruits, you need to buy the cheapest in the wholesale market. In those supermarkets, the same variety of things can be sold to you several times the price above the market.
But even in the wholesale market, the prices of the same varieties are different, but the difference is not large, and it is only two or three yuan short of the price.
It has been recent years, and the wholesale market is very lively.
Song Wen took a look and walked into a dried fruit shop selling dried longans. The dried longans inside looked good. He ate one and tried it. It felt thick and sweet and good. Just as he was about to buy it, he saw a bag of longans a pound next to him, and asked, "How to sell it?"
“Thirty-five.”
Song Wen was shocked when he heard this. He remembered that he only bought it for fifteen yuan n years ago. Why did it become so expensive in a blink of an eye? Could it be that he can no longer keep up with this era?
Perhaps many people don’t know what longan is. Longan is actually the meat peeled from dried longan. There is also a beautiful legend here.
In ancient times, Longjiang in Nanzhou was not like this now. At that time, at a sea estuary, standing on the shore, you could see the surging waves in the sea.
There is an evil dragon living in the sea mouth. It goes to the sky every winter. Every time it goes to the sky, it will cause wind and waves, causing the river to surging and surging waves. I don’t know how many fertile fields and people’s families have been flooded. The people around me hate this evil dragon, so they go to ask the government to eliminate harm for the people. The government ignores it, and the people have to build temples for the evil dragon to pray for good weather and peace all year round. However, the evil dragon still causes wind and waves every year, making the people suffer. Some people saw it, so they simply left their hometown and left their hometown.?
One year, the evil dragon committed another evil, and dozens of villages were flooded. Only one nine-year-old child, "Qingyuan", escaped by chance because he was a guest at his uncle's house. However, none of Longyuan's parents and dozens of people in the village survived and were drowned by the flood caused by the evil dragon.
After learning about it, Longyuan cried bitterly, her eyes were about to break, and she vowed to kill the evil dragon to avenge her family and fellow villagers. From then on, Longyuan lived at her uncle's house, helping her uncle herd cattle chopping wood and carrying water, and doing some chores. Whenever she had time, she would practice her skills and intend to kill the dragon. One day, Longyuan rode the cow up the mountain to eat grass as usual. When she arrived halfway up the mountain, the cow suddenly stopped leaving, but just mooed. Longyuan felt strange, so she jumped off the cow's back and looked at it, but found that a young snake was stepped on by the cow and had its tail broken. Longyuan was kind-hearted, so she quickly moved forward and moved the cow's feet away, bandaged the little snake, and then placed it in the grass by the roadside. One day, Longyuan went to the mountain
When chopping wood, I accidentally saw a young eagle falling from a cliff nest into a clump of grass on the ground, screaming desolately. Longan looked at it and ran over quickly. He found that the eagle's foot bone was broken, so he helped it to treat it and then sent it back to the nest. One day, Longan went to the river to carry water, and just lifted the bucket to pick it up. Suddenly, he heard something beside him "squeaking". When he turned around, he found that a mouse the size of a finger was entangled by a water grass, and was about to sink into the water. Longan hurriedly ran over to help it untie the water grass, and then put it on the shore. Time passed like water, and it passed quickly. In a blink of an eye, it was nine years since Longan's parents passed away.
Longan has also grown into a strong boy. Over the past few years, he has worked hard to practice his skills, not only his strength, but also his good martial arts skills.
So, he wanted to avenge his parents and fellow villagers.
On this day, it was the day when the evil dragon came to heaven. Longan lies in the sand beside the sea mouth with a knife and waits for the evil dragon to come up, preparing to kill it when it shows up and fly up.
Just as the evil dragon exposed its head from the water, a big snake three feet long suddenly emerged from behind Longan. The big snake suddenly penetrated into the sea and started fighting with the evil dragon. This big snake is the young snake rescued by Longan back then. Today, it is here to repay the kindness. The big snake cannot defeat the evil dragon after the battle. It was bitten to death by the evil dragon.
Without the entanglement of the big snake, the evil dragon suddenly rushed out of the sea and flew into the sky.
Suddenly, an eagle flew over from a distance, stretching out its sharp claws and snatching it straight towards the evil dragon. The evil dragon was not willing to be outdone, so it bit the eagle. The two of them fought back and forth in the air.
For a moment, blood splashed like rain, dyeing a golden beach underneath red.
In the end, the eagle was ultimately defeated by the evil dragon and was cruelly bitten to death by it. This eagle was the young eagle saved by Longan when she was young. The evil dragon fought repeatedly, and was injured and fell to the ground, and could not fly. Longan looked for the opportunity and rushed towards the evil dragon.
Although the evil dragon was injured, the tail of a dragon was not damaged at all. Seeing the longan coming, it swept its tail and swept the longan into the sky.
After a while, longan fell down and felt like the internal organs were hit by thousands of hammers. The pain was abnormal. A mouthful of blood couldn't help but spurt out. Seeing that he was not dead, the dragon swept over another tail. At this moment, a big mouse suddenly jumped out from the side and bit the dragon's tail. The sharp teeth kept biting on the dragon's tail, as if it was about to bite the dragon's tail.
The dragon rolled on the sand in pain and hissed and roared, trying hard to throw the big mouse out, but could not get rid of it. Finally, it threw the big mouse out, but its tail was bitten off. The big mouse also died because of its exhaustion. After fighting, the dragon lost too much blood and lay motionless on the ground, but was gasping for breath.
At this time, Longyuan endured the pain, stepped forward and killed the evil dragon, dug out two longans, and came to worship at her parents' grave.
When the government heard the news, it was known that the longan was a rare treasure, so it came to snatch it. Longan was not willing to give it. In the scramble, a longan rolled to the ground. The people in the government saw that they wanted to snatch it, but Longan was stepped into the ground by Longan. Seeing that the longan on the ground was gone, the people in the government turned around and wanted to snatch the longan in Longan's hand. When Longan saw that it was not good, they swallowed another longan into their stomach. In an instant, a bolt from the blue was thunder, and then the wind blew, and dark clouds were covered with dark clouds.
Thousands of golden lights suddenly emerged from Longan's body. When everyone dared not look directly at it, it suddenly turned into a golden dragon, flew into the sky, and flew away in the clouds.
It is strange that when the longan turns into a dragon and flies away, the sky becomes more beautiful again.
The people in the government were frightened by the scene in front of them, and they were in a hurry and rolled and crawled away. No one dared to mention the longan again. After years, a strange tree grew in the longan place. The strange tree blossomed and beared fruits like longans. When people saw it, they named it "longans". In order to thank the kindness of longans for killing the dragon and eliminating harm, they called the dried meat of longans "longans".
In ancient times, not all longans could be called longans. Only the best-grade ones could be called longans. The middle ones were tiger eyes, and the small ones were ghost eyes. But now it is no longer so different. No matter what kind of cats and dogs can be called longans.
