One year, there was a severe drought on the island. It didn't rain in May, it didn't wind in June, and there was no cloud in Wan Li in July. The scorching sun cracked the soil, the stones smoked, the wells dried up, the seedlings withered, and the peony embroidered by Qiao Mei withered.
Qiao Mei is very worried. Her food is not fragrant. She feels uneasy. She is very thin. Mother lovingly asked her:
"daughter! If you have something on your mind, tell me quickly! "
Qiao Mei wiped her tears and said:
"You see, the river has dried up and the crops have withered; Adults sigh and children cry and thirst, who is not sad! "
Mother said with a sigh:
"There was a great drought, and mortal life was punished. Everyone went to Bailongxi for rain this month, but the more they begged, the more dry they became. What can we do? "
Qiao Mei said:
"I want to embroider a dragon. If embroidery is alive, it would be great to let the embroidered dragon spray water to melt the rain! "
Mother in order to comfort Qiao Mei, smooth echo said:
"Qiaomei! Just embroider! "
Qiao Mei embarrassedly said:
"alas! Unfortunately, I have never seen a dragon. How should I embroider? "
Yes! What is this dragon like? Qiao Mei thought and thought, but she couldn't imagine. Suddenly thought of Bailongxi, since everyone went there to beg for rain, maybe there really is a dragon there!
The next day, Qiao Mei said goodbye to his parents, picked up dry food and went to Bailongxi to find the dragon. After crossing a ridge, I turned three corners and saw a deep and long mountain pit. What a pity! The water in Bailongxi has dried up, and the grass by the stream has withered. Qiao Mei climbed to the top of Bailong Creek, sat on a rock and stared at the bottom of the creek.
"Qiaomei! What are you doing in the mountains on a hot day? "
Qiao Mei looked up and saw an old man standing in front of her with a smile. Qiao Mei stood up and respectfully replied, "I want to find the White Dragon!"
Grandpa shook his head and said:
"The water in the mountain stream has dried up. Why is there a white dragon? Go back quickly! "
Qiao Mei looked at his grandfather and said firmly:
"no! I'm not going back. I'm looking for the white dragon. Find the white dragon and there will be water. "
Grandpa sighed and left quietly. One day, two days, three days, Qiao Mei still didn't find Bailonglong. Tired of looking, Qiao Mei went back to the rock and sat down, staring at Bailongxi.
Here comes the old man again. See Qiao Mei chapped lips and mental fatigue, he kindly advised:
"Qiaomei! White dragon has come and gone without a trace. Go home if you can't find him! "
Qiao Mei wiped her sweat and said:
"I can't find it today, I will find it tomorrow; If you can't find it tomorrow, look for it the day after tomorrow, and you will find the white dragon one day! "
Grandpa sighed and left quietly again.
One day, two days and three days, Qiao Mei searched all the mountains and corners, but there was still no sign of the White Dragon. Sweating and panting, she couldn't walk any further and finally fainted by the rock.
Grandpa came quietly again. He fondly massaged Qiao Mei's eyebrows with his fingers. When Qiao Mei saw his grandfather sitting beside him again, he woke up and cried. Grandfather sorry to encourage Qiao Mei:
"Don't cry, don't cry! It's not that Bailong refuses to see you, it's really the will of the Jade Emperor and the imperial edict of the Dragon King! Come, I'll take you down the mountain! "
Qiao Mei said, "No! Don't! I won't go home until I find the white dragon! "
Hearing this, grandpa was so sad that he shed tears. A tear and a shower of rain, tears and raindrops in Qiao Mei's mouth, Qiao Mei is not thirsty; Tears and raindrops in the ravine, the seedlings turn green; Tears and raindrops are in the dry well, and there is water in the well.
When grandpa saw it, Sister Xiang Qiao said in a panic, "I should go, so hurry home!" " "Say it's gone. Tears turned into rain, and although the drought has not eased, people are grateful. However, when the Dragon King of the East China Sea discovered it, he was so angry that the longan stood out. The dragon had to straighten up and curse the White Dragon for crying privately, which violated heaven.
When the Dragon Prince saw that the Dragon King was angry from embarrassment, he quickly said, "Father, calm down. I'll get the white dragon, dig his scales and pull his tendons, so that my father can feel avenged! "
The dragon king quickly said, "No! You go and call Bailong to the Dragon Palace. I have my own reasons! "
Prince Long left the Dragon Palace, made a roll, rushed out of the sea and headed for Bailongxi. Bailonglong heard the sound of the wind, opened his longan and saw a black cloud floating from the sea. Knowing that the Greek gift had not yet arrived, he raised his head, wagged his tail and flew away with a loud roar.
The Dragon Prince shouted, "White Dragon! How dare you! How dare you cry in private? Do you know the crime? "
"Calm down, Prince," said Bai Laolong. "It didn't rain, Lao Long just shed two tears!" "
The prince dragon said angrily, "Hum! It is also against heaven to drop two tears! "
Bai Laolong said, "Prince! How can people live without water? Don't you have any pity? "
Hearing this, Prince Long flew into a rage: "Nonsense! How dare you argue against heaven? Come with me to see the Dragon King! "
Knowing that it was useless to talk, Bai Laolong begged, "Go back to the prince first, and I will be there later."
"I'm afraid you can't escape!" The Dragon Prince returned to the Dragon Palace with a smile.
Besides, Qiao Mei, when she saw the rain, she was very happy and stopped looking for the white dragon, so she ran home excitedly. Who knows that just arrived at the door, the rain stopped, and the burning sun made people sweat. Qiao Mei was about to turn around and look for Bai Longlong, only to see grandpa coming towards her in a hurry. Qiao Mei hurriedly let her into the house, and brought a chair for grandpa to sit down.
Grandpa said, "Qiao Mei! I'm in a hurry! "
Qiao Mei said, "Grandpa, if you need my help, just let me know!"
"Qiaomei! I am Bailong from Bailongxi, but I broke the rules of heaven, because I shed two tears and it rained lightly that day. The Dragon King wants to punish me! "
"ah!"
"Don't panic, don't panic, there is a way."
"What can I do?"
"Don't you want to embroider dragons? Embroider! Embroider a white dragon, like me. If the Dragon King comes to arrest me, you can release the embroidered dragon and I will be saved! "
Qiao Mei was pleasantly surprised and said, "Grandpa Bailong, I'll embroider the dragon pattern!" "
The old man nodded slightly and rolled gently, revealing a dragon shape. In an instant, the room was wrapped in white and bright.
Qiao Mei read it carefully and remembered it firmly. He shook his exquisite horn and touched the white jade scale. He read it again and again from beginning to end and said happily, "Grandpa Bai Laolong, I remember it all."
Bai Laolong said with satisfaction, "What a clever girl! Embroider quickly! Come to me after the embroidery! "
Say that finish with a dragon in a hurry.
Qiao Mei found a piece of blue silk, cut a few strands of silk thread, and sat alone in the room, without looking up. His hands kept sewing, and the thread followed the needle and embroidered quickly. Embroider, embroider, embroider quickly. One day and one night, I embroidered a faucet: white jade beard, crystal eyes and delicate horns. How spectacular!
Mother said, "Daughter! The faucet is embroidered. Have a rest after dinner and embroider? "
Qiao Mei said, "No, embroider quickly, and then eat! Embroider, embroider, embroider quickly. Two days and two nights, the dragon body embroidered: silver scales are shining, how beautiful!
Mother said, "Daughter! The dragon body is embroidered, take a rest and sleep before embroidering! "
Qiao Mei said, "No! I fell asleep as soon as I slept, and then I fell asleep after embroidery! "
Embroider, embroider, embroider quickly. For three days and three nights, it was embroidered into four dragon claws: the front claw extended and the rear claw squatted. What good air!
Qiao Mei's eyes are red, and Qiao Mei's fingers are soaked with blood, embroidered with white dragons. You see, walking around, holding your head high and wagging your tail, it's really like having sex!
Early in the morning on the fourth day, Qiao Meixi tried to find Bailonglong. However, I have searched all over Bailongxi, but I still can't see the shadow of Bailonglong. Qiao Mei panicked and hurriedly climbed to the top of the mountain, shouting:
"Grandpa Bai Laolong, Grandpa Bai Laolong!"
However, shouting hoarse, I still can't hear the echo of the white dragon. Qiao Mei was anxious to take out the tearful question of embroidered dragon: "Grandpa Bailong! Qiao Mei is looking for you, have you seen it? Qiao Mei called you. Can you hear her? Why don't you come out? Where are you? "
Qiao Mei, Qiao Mei, you are late! It turned out that last night, the Dragon King came to Lingxiao Hall with White Dragon, and accused him of committing a great crime against heaven in tears. The Jade Emperor indiscriminately sentenced Bailong to death. At this moment, Bai Laolong is tied outside the worse gate and will be beheaded soon! Qiao Mei is looking for him! He saw it! Qiao Mei called him, and he heard him. But, Qiao Mei! Bailonglong can't come to see you anymore!
Suddenly, there was a loud noise, and the dragon head fell on Bailongxi, and the dragon blood leaked straight down, just landing on the embroidered dragon held by Qiao Mei. Embroidered dragon suddenly shook! Suddenly, Lala jumped into the air, turned left and right on Qiao Mei's head, and finally landed in Bailongxi. Suddenly, Bailongxi spring gushed out and the stream gurgled. Since then, Bailongxi has never dried up, and the island is no longer afraid of drought.
