A beautiful legend
At the foot of Dongfeng Mountain, a stream naturally forms along the mountain. The local people call it Longxi. At the end of Longxi, it connects to the Gangwei River. , Gangwei Village is located along the river.
It was a late summer night with a hazy moonlight. The stars in the sky blinked with bright eyes, as if quietly telling a magical story in the vast ink-like sky.
Although the heat has not completely subsided, farmers who have worked hard all day have already fallen asleep. Gangwei Village seems peaceful. Occasionally, one or two dog barks can be heard from the alleys, adding some mystery to the quiet village.
Suddenly, a loud scolding broke the tranquility of the village. A man's angry and repetitive curses were heard from a small country courtyard, followed by a girl leading the village. Weeping and begging for mercy intermittently. It turns out that the girl known as the "bedwetter" wet the bed again tonight, affecting her man's sleep.
With a "bang" sound, the bedwetter was pushed out of the door by her husband and fell to the ground. With a "bang" sound, her husband turned around and closed the door ruthlessly. He still cursed his wife repeatedly with hatred, and the girl outside the door knelt in front of the door and begged bitterly, but the man still screamed several times mercilessly: "Get out! - Get out! -" After that, he went to bed by himself. Went.
The whole village fell silent again, and even the dogs stopped barking. Only the insects were left chirping unwillingly and incomprehensibly. The moonlight shone faintly on the girl's messy hair, pale face and shabby clothes, making her look even more desolate and desolate. Suddenly the wind picked up, and even though it was still late summer, it still felt chilly.
The girl felt more and more sad, and she wanted to find a shelter from the wind on the mountain. So she walked along Longxi to Dongfeng Mountain under the dim moonlight and starlight. That was where she basically went every day. She washed clothes at the source of Longxi, so although it was not bright along the way, she did not encounter any trouble. . When you reach the foot of the mountain, you have to cross a bridge - Longqiao, and then you reach the daily laundry place - which the villagers call "Longtan". Longtan is neither big nor small, with rock walls on three sides. The east-facing side is flat and can accommodate five or six people washing clothes together. It is truly a creation of nature. Cool streams flow continuously from the recesses of the rock wall on the west along the veins of Dongfeng Mountain. It poured down from the water and created a whirlpool in the Longtan to wash away the dirt and debris in the pool. As a result, the water in Longtan was always clear and it was a good place for washing clothes in the countryside at that time.
The girl strolled to a big rock beside Longtan and sat down. She was usually busy with housework. Although she came here often, she would always rush home after washing her clothes. She had never sat on this huge rock. Had a rest. Now sitting on the rock, looking at the countryside: everything is quiet, people are sleeping, as if she has been forgotten; everything is hazy, as if the village is far away from her. Seeing this, the girl couldn't help but feel sad in her heart, and at the same time she felt resentment. She touched a stone in the dim moonlight, held the stone tightly and knocked it hard against the big rock without forgetting. Scolding her cruel husband.
Suddenly, the big rock began to shake slowly. The girl was so surprised that she quickly jumped away from the rock. When she turned around, she saw a crack in the place where she had been sitting, and something was shining in the crack. The girl found that there were no other abnormalities. Out of curiosity, she reached out and took out the shining object, which felt cold and heavy. Under the moonlight, you can see clearly that it looks like a weighing weight, emitting a unique silver light. The girl quickly took it and ran home.
The next day, the story about the bedwetter who got a "silver weight" in the middle of the night suddenly spread in the village. People flocked to Longtan and found that the crack was still there. Curious people found big rocks one after another. Some people even brought hammers from home and started pounding on the rock walls and rocks around Longtan. Of course, nothing was found, so people expanded the scope of their search. Suddenly someone shouted, it turned out that there was a stone tablet inlaid on the pier of Dragon Bridge, with two lines of words engraved on it: "The silver weight has been taken, and the golden pole was thrown across the stream."
The villagers all rushed home, carrying hoes, rakes, etc., as long as they could dig, and started digging everywhere on both sides of Longxi.
Later, one after another rural Feng Shui masters came here with compasses, ancient books, and turtle shells to do divination; some scholars even came here to study it. It is said that the ancients used hints to hide treasures. There are often hidden mysteries.
Until now, the legendary golden pole is still buried silently on the other side of Longxi.
