Chapter 0001 Small wooden building by the Qiantang River

On the bus driving at the Qiantang River Bridge at a constant speed, Li Chaosheng stared at the Liuhe Tower on the banks of the Qiantang River. The Liuhe Tower is the Liuhe Tower on the side of the Qiantang River. On the side of the Qiantang River Bridge, it stands on the riverside very spectacular. It is one of the ten scenic spots of New West Lake: Liuhe Listening to the Tao, which is the best place to watch the tide of the Qiantang River.

Li Chaosheng was born on the Qiantang River and grew up on the Qiantang River. He is a trendsetter who grew up drinking the water of Qiantang River. Even his name is Li Chaosheng. The day Li Chaosheng was born was the time when the Qiantang River Tide reached its peak, so his father named him Li Chaosheng. His life was closely related to the Qiantang Tide.

Twenty years have passed since the sound of the tide that year, and Li Chaosheng has been away from the people at that time. Shortly after Li Chaosheng was born, his father went to the river to fish and drowned at night.

After giving birth, my mother suffered such a big change. She suffered from postpartum depression. She went to the river to commit suicide by jumping into the river on a dark and windy night. She didn't even find the corpse, leaving Li Chaosheng and his grandfather who were still in their infancy to depend on each other.

Li Chaosheng stared at the direction of Liuhe Tower and was in a daze. He was not looking at Liuhe Tower, but at the small wooden building in the same direction as Liuhe Tower. The small wooden building is not far from Liuhe Tower, and is far less grand than Liuhe Tower. It also looks old. Fortunately, it looks simple and has a good artistic conception, so it has not been demolished by the scenic spot management office.

This is one of the ten scenic spots of New West Lake that people in Hangzhou are most proud of. It attracts a large number of tourists from all over the world. A large number of tourists means a large number of income. People in Hangzhou are particularly concerned about the construction of this place.

Xiaomulou is Li Chaosheng's home. Although it is not very big, it can withstand wind and rain. Li Chaosheng likes to sit on the railings when the tide rises the most. If the tide rises when the tide rises, it will be even more spectacular. When the storm is swaying, the small building will remain unmoved, giving Xiaochaosheng endless courage.

Li Chaosheng was timid in his hometown, and his brows couldn't help but frown, showing a worried expression. Grandpa called him and said that he was not feeling well. Li Chaosheng knew his grandpa very well.

When my grandfather was young, he was also a tough trendsetter on the Qiantang River. Dajiang tempered his grandfather's strong character and did not mention some minor illnesses or pains at all. Since my grandfather said he was feeling uncomfortable, it must be the time to be very serious.

The bus stopped at the bus stop near the Xiaolou. This place was originally a scenic spot, and the nearby bus stop was not far from his home. Li Chaosheng hurriedly walked towards the Xiaolou.

The small building is facing the river, and the main entrance is facing Qiantang River. The door on the shore is the back door. In order to be beautiful, the scenic spot management office paved a stone road for the small building and also gave the name of the small building. However, Li Chaosheng's grandfather politely rejected it. The small building originally had a name.

The plaque on the gate of Linjiang is engraved with official script, and it says: Zhenjiang Tower.

Li Chaosheng is a child who grew up by the river. He heard his grandfather tell many mysterious legends about the Qiantang River since he was a child. After he grew up, he was quite curious about the name of Xiaolou. Qiantang River is a big river, known as Zhejiang-Jiang in ancient times, Fuchun River in the upper section and Qiantang River in the lower section, with surging flow.

Li Chaosheng asked his grandfather curiously that this small building had probably been built for a long time. Generally speaking, people in ancient times believed in ghosts and gods and were quite respectful of illusory things. Such a grand name should not be used for small houses for homes.

The big rivers have their own dignity. If they are offended, they are not something that Xiaolou can resist. Facing Li Chaosheng's curiosity, grandfather did not say much, but just pulled the topic aside.

Although the docking door is a back door, it is the most frequently visited and exited door after all, and the construction is quite grand. Li Chaosheng pushed the door open and headed straight to the second floor where his grandfather lived. The second floor was dry and lived by the river all year round. His grandfather had serious rheumatism, so he chose to live on the second floor of the dry one.

"Grandpa! I'm back." Li Chaosheng went up the second floor. When he opened the door, he saw that Li Chaosheng's eyes were wet. Grandpa's white hair was dry, his former rosy face turned gray, and the strong man by the river became a dying old man on the bed.

The old man looked up desperately and saw that it was Li Chaosheng. The old man smiled and said hoarsely: "Chaosheng, are you back?"

Li Chaosheng listened to his grandfather's old voice, no longer as powerful as before, and could not help but cry. He fell down and sighed softly. Li Chaosheng quickly reached out and held the old man's thin hand and sat half kneeling beside the bed.

"It's good that you're back. I'm really afraid that I won't be able to see you for the last time." Grandpa said as if he was wandering.

"Grandpa, stop talking. I'll call an ambulance first. Let's go to the hospital for treatment first." Li Chaosheng wanted to stand up, but his hands were tightly pulled by his grandfather. The force was so strong that Li Chaosheng thought that the one who pulled him was a strong young man.

"Chaosheng! Listen to me first!" Grandpa said.

Li Chaosheng couldn't break free, and was afraid of hurting his grandfather, so he could only kneel down beside the bed and said, "Grandpa, you said."

"Chaosheng, I don't have to go to the hospital anymore. My deadline has come..." The old man saw that Li Chaosheng was about to speak, waved his hand gently, and Li Chaosheng stopped in time.

"Chaosheng, I have some things to tell you. If it's too late, I'm afraid it's too late. Our family is probably not ordinary people. Of course, it's not the meaning of those nobles or nobles. Maybe there are some magical families. In fact, I don't know much. My father passed away early like your father when I was young, so I don't know much..."

Li Chaosheng felt sad and held back his tears. Is his grandfather so sick? Why are he talking nonsense?

"...But the small building that my father left me is quite magical. Generally speaking, the wooden buildings by the river are prone to decay and wet, but our small building is dry, long-lasting and strong, and mosquitoes will not enter. This is magical. And have you noticed that your strength is much greater than your classmates?"

Li Chaosheng nodded. This does exist. Li Chaosheng has grown taller than his classmates since he was a child and has much more strength. He thought it was normal.

"...This is not our talent, but because this small building, our family is like this, your grandmother and your mother who marry in, it seems that this small building has the ability to make people healthy and powerful, but it is unknown whether it can extend their lifespan. Your great-grandfather and your father all died young. I was lucky enough to live for so many years, and I don't know if it counts."

The old man sighed quite. His life was quite difficult. His father died early. Later, his mother also went there and married his wife. His wife also died after giving birth to a son. He finally raised his son to be a man. His son had not had time to be happy for long, and he died young and his daughter-in-law also left. He could only raise his grandson alone. Now that his grandson has grown up, he has reached the end of his life.
