One year brought a great drought, the next year floods, and then, in a blink, a plague.
The Xu family fled from the north to the south, and then from the south back to the north.
Before...
After hearing Li Xier's words, the memory in Li Liehu's mind was instantly activated. He quickly understood where the "home" Li Xier was talking about was, and at the same time he also clearly remembered the scene and time when Li Xier and Xu Ning met again.
At this moment, he couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion in his heart. Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, nearly seven years have passed since they first met.
Thinking back to the past, that lively and active tomboy had grown into a graceful young lady, as charming as a delicate and beautiful flower. Even more amazing was that she was now the master of a city, standing majestically on a high tower, overlooking everything in the city.
Li the Hunter gazed at the familiar yet unfamiliar figure on the tower, his eyes filled with relief, nostalgia, and a hint of indescribable pain. He was relieved to see Xu Ning so talented and capable; he missed the happy times they had spent together; and the pain, perhaps stemming from the helplessness and sadness of the relentless passage of time, was also evident.
At this moment, Li Xier noticed that her father was distracted, and quickly reached out to shake Li Liehu's arm, calling out anxiously: "Dad! Dad! My sister is talking, can you hear me?"
Li Hunter's mind snapped back to reality after being shaken by him. He looked up and saw Xu Ning standing tall at the very front of the city wall, holding a trumpet-shaped object in his hand, ready to address the people below.
"Quiet! Quiet! Hello, fellow villagers and elders! I am Xu Ning, the mayor of our Xia City. After spending these few months together, I believe you are no longer unfamiliar with me!" As Xu Ning spoke, he opened his hands and placed them next to his ears, making a listening gesture, facing the crowd under the city wall.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of warm cheers from the bottom of the city wall: "We know each other!" The people waved their arms, their faces filled with excitement and joy.
"Hello, Lord City Lord!" A loud shout came from the crowd.
"May the city lord be blessed with as much wealth as the East Sea and as long-lived as the Southern Mountains!" Some kid shouted excitedly, but was soon drowned out by other voices.
“City Lord… City Lord… City Lord…” The shouts came one after another, deafening.
At this moment, Xu Ning smiled slightly, raised his index finger gracefully, and placed it on his lips: "Sh ...
With just such a simple action, the people immediately understood what he meant. Although they were a little reluctant, they still tried hard to calm down.
Jiang Yan, standing nearby, watched the scene with great interest, and couldn't help but laugh to himself. He had thought this ribbon-cutting ceremony would be like the opening of Happy Valley, but he had never expected it to be so bizarre and novel.
Xu Ning, standing high atop the city wall, interacted with the people below, thoroughly enjoying herself. Her mind was abuzz with ideas, and she kept making outrageous requests of the treasure chest. Initially, she'd just wanted a few small gadgets to liven up the atmosphere, but her ideas grew more and more daring, even going so far as to ask the treasure chest to bring over all the equipment used for a superstar's concert!
However, faced with Xu Ning's excessive request, the treasure chest naturally would not easily agree. However, it finally succumbed to Xu Ning's soft and hard persuasion and agreed to add more music to her request.
With the help of music, the atmosphere on the scene became even more heated. In addition, it was almost hot summer, and many ancient people who had never been to a disco seemed to be carried to heaven by this novel feeling!
"Player, player, it's noon now, don't play too much!" Xu Ning's old father watched this scene in front of the white screen and was worried. He just didn't keep an eye on it for a moment, and his daughter almost took away a bunch of old people.
