The dragon king enshrined in Hougou Ancient Village is respected as the four dragon kings among the people. Legend has it that when the villagers carried the statue of the Four Dragon Kings to pray for rain, they would also carry out the idol of his mother to worship together, which was a special way to pray for rain, called "filial piety". Because the Four Dragon Kings were filial sons, respecting his mother would impress him to give rain to the villagers. However, this dragon mother is the image of a mortal woman, and this cannot help but make people wonder, how can a mortal woman give birth to a dragon king? Moreover, the dragon king of Hougou is called the four dragon kings, so shouldn't there be a big dragon king, two dragon kings, and three dragon kings in front of him, and maybe there will be five dragon kings, six dragon kings, and seven dragon kings in the back? What kind of divine power does this mother have to give birth to so many dragon kings? Speaking of which, there is also a very moving story.

Legend has it that a long time ago, there was an old couple surnamed Wu in Guojiabao in Yuci, and they gave birth to a son and a daughter. The son is an older brother and has a family, and the daughter is a younger sister, and she has not yet chosen a good in-law's family.

One day, the youngest daughter of the Wu family, Miss Wu, took her nephew and accompanied her sister-in-law to her parents' house. The two sisters-in-law felt a little tired when they walked to the east of Yuciyuan Vortex Village, so they sat down in the shade of a tree on the side of the road to rest, while Miss Wu's little nephew played beside them. After a while, another person came on the road. The man carried two buckets of water, walked not far from his aunt and sister-in-law, put down his burden and sat down under the shade of the tree to rest.

It was already May and the weather was hot. Miss Wu's little nephew walked for such a long time, and his mouth was a little dry, and when he saw two buckets of water beside the man sitting next to him, he ran over and climbed on the edge of the bucket and took a sip. This was actually a very normal thing in the countryside at that time, but the man was in a hurry, jumped up and ran to the bucket and pushed the child away, and at the same time shouted: "Go away, who told you to drink indiscriminately?" The child was pushed to the ground and sat on the ground, crying "wow".

The sister-in-law and sister-in-law saw that the child was pushed down, so they hurriedly stood up and ran over. The sister-in-law hurriedly bent down to help the child, and Miss Wu pointed to the man and asked, "Why are you pushing our children?" The man replied, "Who let him drink my water!" When Miss Wu heard this, she became angry and said, "What's wrong with drinking your saliva? Don't say it's on this road, even when you come to your door, you can't get out of it, right? Not to mention that you are not ashamed to attack such a young child so hard!" The man still said ruthlessly: "If you want to drink water, you can't find it yourself, why do you drink the water I picked?" When the Wu girl heard this, she also shouted: "What's wrong with the water you picked? Others can't drink a sip of the water you picked? Why are you so stingy!" The man stubbornly said: "I just don't let others drink the water I picked, what do you want?" Miss Wu is a stubborn person, listening to the other party talk like this, her strength also came up, and shouted: "You don't let you drink, I want to drink!"

As she spoke, Miss Wu squatted down and lay down on the edge of the bucket, and drank the water in a big gulp. Drinking and drinking, Miss Wu suddenly felt a round thing in the water, choking on her throat, she couldn't get angry anymore, she hurriedly closed her mouth, wanting to breathe a sigh of relief. When the man saw the martial girl crawling on the bucket to drink water, he rushed up and pulled her hard. Don't look at the small girl Wu, her strength is not small, that person couldn't pull her at first. It wasn't until Miss Wu choked on the round thing in the water and held her breath that she was relieved, and the man pulled her. But at this time, the man had already exerted all his strength, and pulled the martial girl to sit upside down on the ground. When Miss Wu fell to the ground, her body shook, and the thing in her throat was swallowed into her stomach by her "grunt", and she couldn't vomit if she wanted to. This time, the fire of the martial girl could no longer be suppressed, she stood up and shouted: "Drink your saliva, you dare to push people in, you are too domineering!"

At the moment when the two buckets fell to the ground, something strange happened. I saw that what flowed out of the two buckets was not just two buckets of water, but water that gushed like a big river. When the man carrying the water saw this, his face suddenly turned pale, and then he wilted like a defeated rooster, muttered to himself, "It's over," leaned over and picked up two empty buckets and hurried away.

When the two sisters-in-law saw this, they were even more frightened, picked up the child and ran away. The two of them ran far and wide in one go, and did not stop until they couldn't run anymore. Miss Wu said in a panic: "Sister-in-law, we're afraid we're going to get into a big disaster, right?" Her sister-in-law also said: "Yes, the person we met is a monster!" Miss Wu said worriedly: "Sister-in-law, what should we do?" Her sister-in-law thought for a long time and said, "Now I have to take one step at a time, anyway, it's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, and it's useless to be afraid." It's just that let's not talk to others about today's matter, so as not to cause trouble for ourselves!"

The matter really made Miss Wu's sister-in-law right, and the person they met today was really a demon. This demon cultivates in the mountains, occasionally pinching his fingers and calculating, and finds that there are treasures hidden in the territory of Yuci, so he quietly comes to Yuci to hunt for treasures. The demon went around Yuci and found that there was a lake ten miles north of Yuci City, called "King Lake". In the dead of night, a red light would shine through the lake, and the demon would conclude that the treasure must be in the lake. So this demon man did it in the middle of the night, collected all the water from Wanghu Lake into two buckets, and prepared to pick it up back to the mountain where he was cultivating. However, the water of a lake was too heavy, and the demons did not dare to go to a crowded place, so they walked to the source vortex in the east of Yuci City in the middle of the morning, and happened to meet the two sisters and sisters-in-law. The demon was afraid of losing the treasure in the water, so he didn't allow Miss Wu's little nephew to drink the water in the bucket, and as a result, he had a conflict with Miss Wu, and was kicked over the bucket by Miss Wu in a fit of rage, and poured Wang Lake water into the east of Yuanwu Village. As soon as the lake poured out of the bucket, the demon's spell was broken, and he had to walk away. However, this demon man did not give up, and after walking down the mountain, he asked passers-by what it was called, he wanted to wait for himself to practice the demon method, and then come back to get the treasure. Unexpectedly, passers-by told him: "This place is called the source vortex (Yuci dialect pronounced guo)." The demon was stunned when he heard this, and only after a while did he say: "The water is just right to pour into the pot, where can I take it out!" After that, he shook his head and sighed and left, never coming again. The water of Wang Lake has turned into a spring in the east of Yuanwu Village, which is now the "lotus pond" in the east of Yuanwu Village.

Besides, when Miss Wu and her sister-in-law returned home, they didn't tell anyone what they had encountered in the east of Yuanwu Village. After a while, I heard people talking about it on the street: "Something strange happened to Yuci, the water of Wang Lake dried up overnight, but a spring suddenly appeared in the east of Yuanwu Village!" The two sisters-in-law knew the reason, but they could only pretend not to know, and expressed their strangeness like everyone else. After a while, nothing unusual happened. The two sisters-in-law secretly rejoiced that they had escaped a catastrophe, but as soon as they breathed a sigh of relief, disaster came again!

One day, Miss Wu was doing needlework at home when she suddenly felt dizzy and nauseous, followed by vomiting. Miss Wu's sister-in-law saw it, and hurriedly came over and asked with concern, "Sister, what's wrong with you?" Miss Wu replied, "I don't know, all of a sudden I became nauseous!" Miss Wu's sister-in-law asked again: "Did you eat something unclean?" Miss Wu said, "No! I ate with my family, and I didn't eat indiscriminately!" But at this time, Miss Wu's face was already pale, and her sister-in-law hurriedly helped her lie down and rest. Since then, Miss Wu has become lazy all day long, and she doesn't think about tea and dinner.

Miss Wu's parents didn't know what kind of illness their daughter had, so they invited a doctor to treat her. The doctor looked embarrassed after checking Miss Wu's pulse, and said that Miss Wu's pulse was peculiar, and he needed to go back and check the medical book to determine what kind of disease Miss Wu had. Miss Wu's parents sent the doctor to the gate of the hospital, and the doctor suddenly turned around and said to the old couple: "Two, I can't say anything in front of your girl just now, but in fact, your girl is not sick, I will check her pulse is happy, and your girl is happy!" Miss Wu's parents were shocked when they heard this, their daughter did not have a mother-in-law, how could she be pregnant? The old couple grabbed the doctor's arm and asked anxiously, "Doctor, is this true? Are you mistaken!" The doctor said: "We are all villagers in the township, I know that your second elder is strict in governing the family, and your girl is not an unruly person, so I don't dare to be careless, but after carefully checking it several times, it is all happy!" The old couple had to tell the doctor to keep the secret for their family.
