Chapter 122 Liangxia: This Town

Yuying looked at the nearby lighthouse and asked, "Do you want to go to the lighthouse to take a look?"

"Okay?" A Xue asked.

"certainly."

Axue followed Yuying to the top of the lighthouse and looked out the window. Not only could she see the sea of ​​flashing lights floating in the blue, but she could also see several rows of red and blue roofs not far from the coast.

Looking at such a beautiful scenery, Axue kept taking photos with her mobile phone, from the sea to the beach, and then to the rows of houses nearby, she took photos.

When Axue walked to the other window, she pointed to a green island not far from the sea and asked Yuying:

"Where is that island?"

"That is also part of Xiliu Town, called Luli Island, also known as Luli Village."

"Is it a small village?"

"Well, do you see the ferry on the shore? It's the only means of transportation to and from that small village and here."

"I saw that the island is not very far away from here. Isn't it more convenient to build a bridge? The cost is not very high."

"Because there is no need." Yuying answered directly.

“No need?”

"There are a few days every month when the tide is gone. When the water level becomes lower, a silver-white gravel road will appear between the island and ours, so there is no bridge at all. At night, the spotlights on both sides of the shore will light up and shine on that road. Under the light, the whole road becomes shining and beautiful. Locals call that road the stone light road of the sea."

"It's every month? Why do I have this scene for so long? When is the day of every month? I also want to see if it's on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month?"

"Haha, who knows. Even the elderly local residents have not yet figured out the rules of this occurrence. Sometimes they appear more often and sometimes less often, but they will naturally appear as soon as they reach the early morning of that day. However, in the days when the hedge scene appears once every three years, this path will definitely appear."

"The Miracle of Hedge? Is it the miracle sea view mentioned on the Internet?" A Xue suddenly remembered the miracle of the sea in Xiliu Town mentioned by Chunxi.

"Hahaha, half and half. The so-called sea miracle in Xiliu Town that you have heard of before is actually divided into two parts. One is the sea view that appears every summer here, and the other is the sea view seen in Luliu Village, called Luliu Mirau. Once in three years, you will see it next year."

"So there is really."

"Of course, although this town is remote and slow to develop, it is full of different wonders. Not only the power of nature, but also the charm of man-made. So there are many places here that you deserve to look forward to and reminisce about. Over time, you will know." Yuying said silently.

A Xue suddenly remembered something and asked, "Talk about the charm of man-made things, I discovered something a long time ago that the people in this town have different surnames. Generally speaking, if it is the same place, especially such a remote and long-standing town, it should be a group of people with the same surname. But Xiliu Town is very different, and many people here come from different surnames."

"Haha, you are really very keen. You are right. This town has been established by different people from all over the world since a long time ago."

"From a different person?"

"I often heard from the mayor that this land suddenly appeared after a tsunami 100 years ago, and then slowly developed into a small fishing village. However, about 50 years ago, another sudden tsunami came, and 50 years of human traces were washed away overnight. Many people died at that time, and those who survived moved away. The few local fishermen remained and started again. After that, because the country provided a lot of funding for the seafood industry, the place was revitalized. Of course, people from different places moved here to settle and develop. For example, the mayor, Xiaobai's grandfather, Gu Zhen's grandfather, and many older generation fishermen here are the most primitive residents here. This is everything about them and their history."

"…If you count this way, is that old man as old as Grandpa Gu Zhen who has experienced that disaster?"

"Yes. It can be said that people of their generation are all survivors of that disaster."

A Xueru suddenly realized and said, "Then I understand now."

Yuying looked at her: "What do you understand?"

A Xue looked at the sea: "It's Aunt Yamei's business. It turns out that Aunt Yamei was the orphan after the tsunami!"

"You have a quick brain analysis. My mother was born that year. At that time, just a few days after she was born in the hospital in Baiyang City Center, the tsunami came and the entire town was completely swallowed up in a few seconds. Fortunately, Baiyang City Center was not affected at all, so my mother escaped this disaster. Her biological mother died of excessive blood loss when she gave birth to her, and her biological father also died during the tsunami. Dr. Tian, ​​who was in charge of pediatrics, adopted her mother. Not long after, the hospital was going to send someone to this town as an outpatient clinic, so Dr. Tian took her mother to this town."

"so…"

Yuying continued: "In the following years, the place had floods of different scales due to weather or geological problems. The embankment was built because of this."

A Xue looked at the tall and long white dam and said, "I heard you say that, will that tsunami be once every 50 years? If you really come back, maybe it will happen again in the past few years, right?"

"This..." Yuying smiled and said, "You don't have to worry too much. A scholar from the National Geology and Ocean Administration once came to detect it. He said that the seabed crust is relatively stable now, and the possibility of another tsunami in this sea area in the next few decades is not very high. The experts also said that the small shipwreck that occurred a few years ago is the best proof that the crust vibration has gradually stabilized."

"If it's true as the experts say, that's great."

"However, to say that, a small typhoon can also cause uneasiness in the ocean. Xiaobai's parents died in the shipwreck a few years ago. Xiaobai was only 3 years old at that time."

"Xiaobai's parents... You are right. What is more terrible than man-made disasters is always such a natural disaster. You can never predict when such a disaster will come. It is simply impossible to avoid it. When people encounter such a disaster, they really cannot save them even if they want to."

"At that time, the couple said they couldn't save them, but they were too late."

"It's too late?"

"At that time, the couple were rescued from the sea by other fishermen. At that time, they were fighting a typhoon and the ambulance could not come. My father sent another emergency to the hospital in Baiyang City. This town was very backward, and no one knew any knowledge of first aid. When the mayor drove them to the hospital with a typhoon, they no longer had their heartbeat."
