Chapter 320 Uncle's Letter

Love is not that you and I meet frankly, but that I have thousands of thoughts about you when I am sleepless. - Zhang Deshuai's Quotations

When we arrived at the Goose Rock Bridge, I was dumbfounded. Because where can we find the exact location of Kowloon Beach now, we asked a few people on the road, but none of us knew it, which surprised me a little. I didn't expect such a place name, but no one knew it.

"Handsome, this is normal. Not to mention them, even I, a native of Beiqiu, have heard of this place for the first time. Xiaoxue comforted me. However, her comfort did not comfort me, but she was still very impatient.

"Did Zhuge Shentang say the exact location of Jiulong Beach?" Jiang Yingyu also came to ask me.

"He just said that it was here at the Goosegong Rock Bridge, but he couldn't tell the exact location. He also told me that if it hadn't been for the water storage in the Three Gorges, he might have found it. Unfortunately, after the Three Gorges stored water, this Jiulong Beach has already been submerged under the Yangtze River. Are you still looking for it now? I'm also a little anxious.

"Handsome, think again, where is this Jiulong Beach?" Xiaoxue also urged me.

It's okay if they don't urge. As soon as they urge, I'm even more anxious. I stood on the Goosegongyan Bridge and looked at the rushing river under the bridge. I don't know how many secrets there are under the river.

"Handsome, what did you find?" It turned out that Jiang Yingyu also got out of the car and stood with me, looking down from the bridge.

"Do you think I will be rushed to Shanghai by the Yangtze River if I jump?" But I asked Jiang Yingyu.

"You're crazy!" Hearing my crazy thoughts just now, Jiang Yingyu exclaimed.

Xue also came over. She stretched out her hand on the railing of the bridge, but laughed at me: "Handsome, you jump down and let us see?"

"Do I have a bag in my head? Do I jump? I don't care about Xiaoxue's provocation.

"There is someone there. Why don't we go down and ask?" Jiang Yingyu suddenly pointed to a dark shadow by the river under the bridge and said.

When we came to the river, we saw an old man. Regardless of the filth of the ground, he sat directly on the ground and looked at the flowing river.

"Master, do you know about Jiulong Beach?" Xiaoxue ran up and asked directly.

"What are you looking for in Jiulong Beach?" The old man asked back.

"We are from the magazine, and we want to find some legends about the old place names in Beiqiu. Just come and have a look?" I lied in good faith to the old man.

The old man raised his thumb when he heard me say that. The eyes and thumb form a line, extending into the middle of the river. After the old man finished reading, he pointed to a pool of rivers and said to us, "No, that's Kowloon Beach!"

"Kowloon Beach is in the middle of the Yangtze River!" Jiang Yingyu said in surprise.

"After the Three Gorges Reservoir stored water, the water level of the Yangtze River rose and flooded the Kowloon Beach. What a pity." After saying that, the old man shook his head repeatedly.

"Thank you, uncle." Xiaoxue hurriedly thanked him.

"It's nothing." The old man came to his senses and told us some stories about Jiulong Beach. The old man also told me that it is said that this Jiulong Beach is also related to Yuan Tianang, a big easy matheer in the Tang Dynasty. Then, the old man told us tirelessly.

The enthusiasm of the old man is beyond my expectation. I wanted to know where the place is in Jiulong Beach, but I'm not very interested in those legends. I'm not engaged in folklore research, and I'm not a reporter from a real magazine. I haven't heard all these things in my heart.

After saying this, the old man sighed and said, "It's a pity that how many young people still know these stories now. They were all busy looking for money. As a result, if all these things disappeared, who still remember Beiqiu City in the past?

"That's why we came here to save these traditional cultures." I have no choice but to pretend to be a reporter of the magazine.

"It's good to have you young people." The old man grabbed my hand excitedly and said loudly.

Finally, the old man gave me a business card. He patted me gently on the back of my hand and said loudly, "Young man, come to me if you want to know anything about Beiqiu City. Shall we make a good arrangement again?

"Definite, definitely." I said quickly and humbly.

After saying this, the old man slowly walked away.

I quietly stuffed my business card into my pocket and looked at the old man's back, but I thought that the legends and stories of the past should also be a treasure for us. Unfortunately, how many people still cherish this invisible wealth?

The sky has begun to darken. I looked at the river, but spit a few mouthfuls in the palm of my hand. There was a violent friction between the hands, and a faint smell came out of the palm of the hand. I turned my head and said to Jiang Yingyu, "Are you optimistic about my clothes?"

"What are you going to do?" Xiaoxue asked.

I pointed to the place in the middle of the river, where the old man told us where the Kowloon Beach was.

"You're crazy." Xiaoxue said.

"Why don't you go down? I have no problem." I took off my clothes and said to Xiaoxue.

"Be careful!" Jiang Yingyu told me. Then she came forward and picked up the clothes I took off.

When I took off my clothes, I felt a little embarrassed. It's strange to say that people feel nothing when they wear swimming trunks, but if they change their swimming trunks to underwear, they will feel something.

I said to Jiang Yingyu without looking back, "Wait for my good news!"

Taking a deep breath, I stepped on the stones by the river and walked slowly to the Yangtze River. Water gradually spread from the ankle to the knee, followed by the thigh...

I stepped into the Yangtze River step by step.

This is the first time I have swam in the Yangtze River. The previous swimming was in the swimming pool. The environment of the swimming pool is completely different from that in the Yangtze River.

The torrent of the river, a surging force, makes me unable to control it. I can only drift along the river little by little and move forward to the place in my heart.

When I felt that I swam to that place, I was frustrated to find that this place was no different from other places, except for the rushing river or the rushing river.

I couldn't help but prick a fierce man. In the turbid river, people couldn't open their eyes at all. Only the feeling of relying on the hand, groping forward little by little...

Suddenly, my hand touched a slippery thing. This discovery made me very happy. When I touched along the slippery thing, I found that it turned out to be a stone wall. This stone wall has long been polished by the river. Touching the stone wall, I walked forward little by little. At this time, my chest suddenly felt suffocated, knowing that this breath was about to grow old. Although he was very unwilling, he had to return to the water in a hurry.

When I came out of the water, I took a deep breath and dived in the previous direction...
