In Yatunbao Township, a crooked river meanders from the other side of the mountain. Under the blue sky, it is like a shining silver chain. This river is formed by five small towers, and people call it the "Wutong River". Upstream of the river, there is a very beautiful hill with green phoenix tail bamboo and plantain trees growing on the hill. On a sunny day, occasionally a white cloud floats over, like a handsome girl from the Dong family wearing a white head handkerchief. If it rains, thick fog will cover the top of the mountain, and the mountain suddenly makes people feel mysterious and magnificent. People say: This fog is changed by the tears thrown by the Dong family, and the Dong family has given it a painful farewell name, "Mountain of Tears." I don't know how many years, how many generations, the legend of "Tears Mountain" has been passed down along with the water of the Wutong River…

In ancient times, there was a sacred pond by the Wutong River. It was called Shenbao in Dong language, and "treasure" means pond. There was a kind flower dragon in the divine pond, which the Dong family called Sweetheart Dragon. No matter how high the water rose in the Wutong River, it could not flood the pond. When the water rose, the pond grew taller, and when the water receded, the pond fell. There was a family by the pond. The head of the household was Xiao Canghai. I heard that he moved from Zhusi Lane, Taihe County, Ji'an Province, Jiangxi Province. Xiao Canghai's "buy ①" was a local Dong woman from a foreign village, called Tun Yueying. When the couple was in their thirties, they gave birth to a girl, and people called her Xiao's daughter. Xiao's daughter would laugh as soon as she landed. In three days, she will be called "Lu Ma ②" sweetly and crunchly. The Xiao couple regard her as the pearl of their palms.

Swallows came and went, plantains were born and plucked, and day after day, Xiao also grew up and came out beautifully. People say that the autumn waves of the Wutong River are not as bright as Xiao Nu's big eyes, and the phoenix-tailed bamboo by the river is not as beautiful as Xiao Nu's figure. Lahan, who played the pipa in the village and outside the village, always said that looking at Xiao Nu was more intoxicating than drinking three bowls of bitter wine. The matchmaker stepped on the threshold and the pipa song broke the window paper, but Xiao Nu always buried her head in embroidery and weaving, and never went to pick wild buds or go to the right place with Lahan. ③ In the lower reaches of the Wutong River, the old guard in the "Xiongguan of the Three Provinces" made many plans, but Xiao Nv was like the strange sweet fern vine on the hillside, never willing to climb and wrap around big trees, preferring to climb on the ground and extend far and wide...

In ancient Guizhou, a few hundred miles away from Yatun Fort, there was a young and heroic descendant named Guolong. He dreamed of the beautiful Xiao Nv and the place where Xiao Nv lived. So he fell in love in a dream, so he asked Master Liu, who had broken gongs everywhere to make Lusheng reeds, to bring the gift of courtship. This was known by the flower dragon in the divine pond, who told Xiao Nv in a dream: Master Lusheng will bring the gift of courtship from your future husband. Sure enough, in a few days, in the news of the "Twittering" of magpies on the tip of the maple tree, Master Liu handed the gift to Xiao Nv. A gourd contains two broken bricks and broken tiles. What does this mean? Xiao Nv thought about it for a long time, but she couldn't answer it. Finally, she asked Master Du Huge, who created Dong Song, to explain it. Master Du sang a Dong song: "The water hyacinth in the well is scooped, and the water dragon in the pond is stirred. In my previous life, the words of marriage were broken, and the tiles were not separated from the kiln." Xiao Nv smiled sweetly, what a smart young man. So she also sent gifts back, with a pair of plums, a green onion, and garlic wrapped in one placket. The stuffy dragon thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't explain it. Finally, he also invited Master Du: "Once the cloth is wrapped into a ball, the love between brothers and sisters is connected. In June, the plums bear double fruit, and a pair of onions and garlic is a garden." It means that on June 6th, stuffy dragon, you will come to pick up Xiao Nv and I as your

Xiao Nv doesn't want to leave her parents. On March 3rd, she and Xiao Nv were drying and weaving at home together. When she saw the south wind blowing, the white clouds in the sky drifted leisurely into the sky, and finally disappeared without a trace, causing her to leave home. Xiao Nv sang: "Seeing the white clouds flying in the sky, the south wind blows away and does not fly back." Xiao Nv thought: Her daughter always refuses to agree to marriage, could it be that she has a lover? Her face suddenly showed a pattern of chrysanthemum laughter. Xiao Nv sang, "It will rain if the clouds gather in the sky, if you want the sky to be fine, the white clouds will fly." On June 6th, the stuffy dragon came riding the flying dragon horse. Xiao Nu wanted to try the stuffy dragon's belly, so she leaned against the door, stepped on the door with one foot, and asked with a song: "One foot stepped on the door, saying that it was coming in or coming out?" The stuffy dragon didn't know how to answer, so she got off the horse in a hurry, and one foot was still hanging on the saddle: "One foot is hanging on the saddle, and the question is whether to get on the horse or get off the horse?" Xiao Nu couldn't answer either. The two of them looked at me, and I looked at you, only to see that their faces were red and their hearts were sweet.

The news that the stuffy dragon took Xiao Nv immediately spread all over Yatunbao, but unexpectedly it caused a disaster. "Xiongguan of the Three Provinces" is a checkpoint guarding the borders of Huguang, Guizhou and Guangxi provinces. There are more than 100 soldiers, and the eyes of the guards are like two centipedes crawling on the bridge of the nose, so the Dong family calls him "centipede eyes". This guy has a hue, and as soon as he goes to the street, every house closes the door tightly. It is impossible to send gold and silver to Xiao Nv. He wanted to grab it several times, but he was afraid that Shangguan would know and take it away from him, so he did not dare to start. Hearing that the stuffy dragon was going to take Xiao Nv away, he was suddenly furious and wanted to grab it as his little wife immediately: "Come on, help me grab Xiao Nv." Before the rotten official's voice fell, the thugs were about to set off, "Slow down!" A subordinate quickly stopped him. "Sir, if Shangguan found out about the unworthy girl and snatched her from you, wouldn't it be for nothing?" So he walked in front of the centipede's eyes and muttered a poisonous plan.

One day, the stuffy dragon and Xiao Nv went to the eighteen plates to visit a relative. As soon as they went out, the soldiers who were following them secretly followed. It turned out that Centipede Eye wanted to kill the stuffy dragon and snatch Xiao Nv in the wild without anyone knowing. Let's say that the stuffy dragon and Xiao Nv walked to the seventeen plates, vaguely hearing the call of the army, ran to a high place to take a look, and sure enough they saw a hundred soldiers lying in ambush in the largest corner of the eighteen plates of mountains. The two ran, ran, and ran to a big mountain beam. They saw a huge flower dragon coiled with two eyes like two lanterns, so scared that they didn't know what to do. The flower dragon said, "Don't be afraid, I am the flower dragon in the divine pond." At this time, the soldiers caught up with them and saw Hua Long roar and spit in the mouth. Suddenly, lightning flashed and thunder, heavy rain poured down, and the mountains and rivers rushed down. The soldiers rolled down the mountain one by one, drowned, fell to death, and those who did not fall to death climbed up, patted their butts, and sighed for a long time: "Mom, I don't know how many miles I fell to the ground." From then on, the place where the soldiers called "Mom" was called "Earth", and there is still a village. Since then, this mountain beam has been shrouded in fog all day long, and it is called the fog beam. In the eighteen circles, the place where the soldiers ambushed was called Huangbai, which meant that there were ten emperor soldiers in ambush. Later, it was rewritten as Huangbai, and there is still a Huangbai Village.

The next day, in order to avoid persecution by the government, they went out to the ancient state of the in-laws. Xiao's mother sent it, sent it, and sent it to a small mountain by the Wutong River. Xiao Nu was so reluctant to miss her mother that she was about to break up. She threw herself on her mother's chest, and her tears flowed, and with a shake of her hand, it turned into a fog that rose up, and I didn't know how many tears were thrown, and gradually the whole mountain was covered with a vast fog. Xiao Nu walked away, and it snowed heavily. From then on, the Dong family called this mountain "the Mountain of Tears."

Xiao's mother sent her beloved daughter away, and her heart went with her. Every morning she would climb to the hillside behind the house and look at the "Mountain of Tears." At this time, there were always three bright stars in the sky, and people said that it was Xiao's mother, Xiao's woman, and the stuffy dragon's heart that changed. Therefore, the hillside behind the Xiao family's house was called the "Three Jade Star Slope." In memory of Xiao's woman and Hua Long, Xiao's mother picked sweet fern vines to make Baba and threw them into the pond every day. As the flower dragon grew day by day, it was said that it later became the flower bridge, which is often called the "Wind and Rain Bridge" by the guests. Regardless of the wind and rain, it allowed people to cross the river without touching the rain. "Mountain of Tears" is a symbol of the Dong family's resistance to the discrimination and oppression of the government! It is also a symbol of the kindness of the Dong people!
