Idioms and allusions

Once upon a time, there was no rain for several months in a year. There was drought everywhere. Wells and rivers dried up, the land cracked, and the crops failed. Ya county (today's Sanya City) in zhuya county is no exception. Hungry and thirsty people in Ya county kneel on the ground every day, praying for rain. in Luhuitou village of Ya county, there is a hardworking and brave young man whose name is Afu. He goes to the sea to fish for the villagers every day. Strangely enough, no fish could be caught in any sea area that year. Only in Dadonghai could fish and shrimp be caught. One day, Ah Fu caught a big fish in Dadonghai. When he returned to the village, he cut the fish into pieces and gave them to the villagers, leaving only a little fish head. He was about to boil the fish head when an old woman came to beg for food. She had white hair, wrinkled face, ragged clothes, dirty and smelly. Ah Fu didn't dislike her at all. He asked her to sit down and said he would give her the fish head when it was cooked. The old woman said that she had been hungry for three days and three nights, and it was better to give her raw fish head now. Without saying a word, Ah Fu immediately gave the fish head to the old woman. The old woman wolfed down her meal and suddenly felt energetic. She knelt down and kowtowed to thank ah Fu for her help. Ah Fu rushed forward to help her up. When the old woman was helped up by Ah Fu, Ah Fu smelled a faint fragrance. He looked up and saw that, my God, what stood in front of him was not a dirty and smelly old woman, but a beautiful woman who was more beautiful than a fairy. Her dark hair is soft on her shoulders, her eyes are big and black, her heart is full of emotion, her cherry like mouth is rippling with a moving smile, and her egg shaped face is shining with beautiful brilliance. Her whole person is like a betel nut flower in bud, beautiful, fragrant and moving. Ah Fu looked at her with straight eyes. After a long time, he asked, "are you the old woman who just changed? "The girl nodded and said," my name is may, the third daughter of Dadonghai Dragon King. Now there is a drought in the world. I'm here to tell you that good people only need to drink three mouthfuls of sea water in Dadonghai. When they come back, they can dig up land and water, plant land and harvest, and make a fortune in business. In a word, you can get what you want. "Then she asked Ah Fu if he would like to try. Without waiting for a Fu to answer, she immediately took a Fu's hand. A Fu felt his body floating up. Suddenly, she arrived at Dadong seaside. May took three mouthfuls of sea water in her hand. Fu imitates Mei's action and drinks three mouthfuls of seawater in his hand. Here, may takes Ah Fu's hand and floats to the field. She said to Ah Fu, you think about one thing in your heart, and then you start to act to ensure that you get what you want. Ah Fu squatted down and dug the ground with both hands. After a while, a clear pool of fresh water came out of the ground. Ah Fu went down to drink the water. It was sweet and fragrant. Ah Fu said that if the water turned into a river, the villagers would be saved. As soon as he spoke, he heard the sound of running water. The water cave in front of him turned into a long and wide river. The clear and green water was running happily. Ah Fu danced happily. As he ran to the village, he cried out: "villagers, there's water! The crops are saved! We are saved! It was amexian who saved us. " suddenly, Ah Fu finds that he has not yet given thanks to Ah Mei, and he is trying to go back to find her. Ah Mei has gone to him. He knelt down to kowtow to May and thank her for saving the villagers. May said, you're welcome. She asked Fu, will you marry me? Ah Fu was so surprised that he didn't believe his ears. He looked at Ah Mei in a daze. May asked again, will you marry me? Ah Fu said aloud, Ken! At this time, the villagers came beating gongs and drums. They asked Ah Fu how sister Mei Xian had brought them a surging freshwater river. Ah Fu told the story from beginning to end. The villagers were so excited that they lifted Amy up. They said with one voice, "May is our rebirth mother. Thanks to her help, we have been saved, and we have not been killed by the drought. "From then on, the Li people in this area called their mother AMI. Amidst the sound of firecrackers, gongs and drums, Ah Fu and Ah Mei got married. After that, the villagers of Luhuitou village go to Dadonghai to drink three mouthfuls of seawater whenever they want to do something. They will be able to do what they want. The villagers of the good Luhuitou village tell this secret to everyone who comes to Dadonghai to play. Therefore, as long as people who have been to Dadonghai drink three mouthfuls of Dadonghai water, they can succeed in everything and everything goes well. People in Luhuitou village say that happiness is given by Dadonghai, so they often say that happiness is as good as Donghai.
