Historical allusions

There is a small street called Hualongchi in Tianxin District of Changsha City. It is said that there was a blacksmith shop in this street in ancient times. There is an old shopkeeper and an apprentice in the shop. The shopkeeper is selfish, greedy and vicious, and the apprentice is kind, loyal and honest. One day, the shopkeeper was ill. He grabbed his apprentice and said, "after I die, don't bury me. I'll leave it in the well outside the door. It's just that you have to throw a rooster into the well on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year. After the owner died, the apprentice threw the owner's body into the well according to the owner's instructions, and threw a rooster into the well on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year. Soon, the apprentice married a wise wife and lived a very happy life.

A year later, the well where the shopkeeper was buried would make bursts of noise every night. The longer the days were, the louder the noise, and later even the ground shook. People were very frightened and restless day and night. The apprentice dreamt that the shopkeeper caught him and said, "you sacrifice me with a rooster. I am stained with the blood of a rooster and become a dragon. I will go east to the sea soon. At that time, Changsha City will become a vast ocean. But don't be afraid. As long as you don't pour molten iron into the well these days, I won't harm you. After the recession, people in Changsha are drowned. You can still monopolize Changsha. Otherwise, your life will be lost. "

When the apprentice awoke, he realized that the noise in the well was caused by the owner. He was determined to sacrifice his life to save the whole city. He told his wife what he thought. Her eyes were full of tears, but she helped him melt the iron without saying a word. When the molten iron was melted, the couple quickly took out a bucket and poured it into the well. Then they heard the rumble of the well, and the ground began to shake. They quickly poured out the second bucket, and the noise in the well was even louder, and the ground began to shake. They quickly poured out the third bucket, only to hear a loud noise, and the ground beside the well collapsed, and the couple also sank The well disappeared, the sound disappeared, the ground no longer vibrated, the evil dragon was melted by molten iron, and the couple gave their lives for it. Later, the place where the cave collapsed turned into a small pond, which was called "Hualong pond" in memory of the apprentice couple fighting against the evil dragon. Later, the small pond disappeared, but it had the street name of "Hualong pond", which has been handed down.
