South China Sea Myth

Bai Liao said to the descendants of the marriage proposal: I don't love money, I only love people who are loyal to love. If anyone can pluck the betel nut from the top of Wuzhi Mountain, he will be my dearest husband. Some of the younger generations, when they heard that picking the betel nut on the top of the Five Fingers Mountain was a condition for their marriage proposal, they had to stick out their tongues and turn back. Some post-nators also want to try their luck at Wuzhi Mountain. But as soon as I walked into the primeval forest, before I climbed the mountain, I was scared away by swarms of black mosquitoes, mountain leeches, and big ants. There was a Li hunter named Coconut Fruit, and his family was very poor, only an old mother who was blind. The mother and son depend on each other for their lives and live by hunting coconut fruits.

One day, Coconut said to her mother, "Mom, I want to propose to Bai Liao." When my mother heard this, she shook her head and said, "I heard that Bai Liao wants the betel nut on the top of Wuzhi Mountain, and many future generations dare not pick it, can you do it?" Although I haven't climbed the top of Wuzhi Mountain yet, I am confident that I can pick the betel nut back.

Coconut still has an idea that he refuses to tell his mother, he wants to get some clear spring from Wuzhi Mountain, and he heard that it can see clearly. If the mother can see the light again, it will also be regarded as a filial piety for the son. When the mother saw her son's determination, she said with tears in her eyes: "Your father used to go to Wuzhi Mountain to get bear bile to treat the poor. But the bear was killed, and he died, and I cried for him blind. If you have three longs and two shorts, how can I live!

Coconut comforted her mother and said, "Mom, don't worry, I will come back safely, and I will also bring Bai Liao back to you." After I'm gone, the neighbor's sister-in-law will come and take care of you. Coconut comforted her mother gently, and then, taking the bow and arrow and machete left by her father, she strode towards Bai Liao's village.

After the coconut fruit left, the mother shed tears sadly and silently wished her son to be safe and triumphant. Coconut fruit walked into Bai Liao's village, came to Bai Liao's face, and said: I will immediately climb the top of Wuzhi Mountain and pick the betel nut to present to you. Bai Liao just said lightly: Hearing is false, seeing is believing.

Coconut Guo glanced at Bai Liao, said goodbye, turned around and strode in the direction of Wuzhi Mountain. The five-finger peak, towering into the clouds, dwells on the top of the mountains, like five fingers, straight into the sky, hidden in the clouds and mist. The coconut fruit has no way into the mountain, so he wields a knife to cut through thorns. The primeval forest, dim and vast, without a single light. The coconut fruit lit the torch and did not hesitate. Swarms of mosquitoes and leeches form groups to carry out a comprehensive encirclement and eradication of coconut fruit from land, water and air. The coconut fruit is protected by wild mosquito coils all over the body, invulnerable and safe and sound. When the coconut fruit is hungry, the mountain fruit is hungry, and when it is thirsty, it points to the bottom of the peak. The mountain spring moistens the throat; sleepy, the cave is the room. The coconut fruit walked for three days and three nights, crossed ninety-nine streams, crossed ninety-nine mountains, and finally came to the foot of Wuzhi Peak.

The coconut fruit looked up, the five-fingered peak was inserted into the clouds, just like five sharp knives, the cliff was smooth, the fingers had nowhere to grasp, and the toes had nowhere to step on. He made nine times, but did not succeed, only to see a slim betel nut tree, growing between the main peak and the two peaks, the tail of the tree parallel to the main peak, the beauty of the bite of the teeth, put down the vine and the right of the tree to make climbing tools, ready to climb again. Suddenly, a fishy wind blew behind him. Coconut with the same head, said that it was too late, that/quickly, a leopard as big as a calf, pounced on him. Before the money turned around, the coconut fruit was already in the bow and arrow in hand, aiming at the leopard three arrows in a row, the first hit the left eye, the second arrow hit the right eye, and the third arrow pierced the throat. The leopard jumped like thunder, jumped several meters high, and the dust flew with it, and it fell down the hill hard, rolled on the ground a few times, and finally did not move.

Although the coconut fruit shot the leopard, he was still at a loss in the face of the cliff, and he missed several times and almost fell off the cliff. The road is walked by people, and the items are built by people. There is nothing difficult in the world, as long as you are willing to climb! The thorns cut through the coconut fruit's face, leaving scars on the road: the sharp stones have worn through the limbs of the coconut fruit, and scattered drops of blood. In order to get a beautiful love, in order to create a better life, coconut fruit, a brave wax hand, is fearless, gritting his teeth, and climbing up step by step. Climb the fifth peak, climb the fourth, climb the third, and finally climb the second. The coconut fruit finally approached the betel nut tree. When he was about to climb the tree, unexpectedly, a large python sprang out of the crack in the rock next to the betel nut tree, opened its bloody mouth, and wanted to swallow the coconut fruit in one bite. Coconut didn't have time to pull out the arrow, so he had to hold on to the rock tightly and stick his head in the crack of the stone, but one of his thighs had been bitten by a python.

Coconut endured the severe pain and pulled out a sharp machete and slashed the head of the python, the python was in unbearable pain, so he had to let go of his big mouth. While pulling out her thighs, Coconut pulled out her bow and arrows and shot three arrows at the python. The painful python is tumbling and struggling, and the tenacious starba, like a big knife, sweeps and slashes. Dust was flying, and the trees were wailing. The only betel nut tree was also cut off by the tough tail of the python. In the end, the python rolled into the deep canyon, among the corpses and rocks.

The betel nut tree with the tail cut off by the python fell sideways on the rock, and the coconut fruit looked at the trunk blankly, feeling very pity. Because the tree is broken, it will not grow any more in the future. The coconut fruit lowered his head, picked off the bunch of bright orange betel nuts hanging on the betel nut tree, and was about to pick it down the mountain, suddenly, his eyes lit up, a few meters away from him in the stone crevice, there was a line of mountain spring, by a natural stone bowl, to welcome the mountain spring, at this time, the spring water in the bowl has overflowed. Coconut Guo thought, isn't this the five-finger mountain spring that she dreamed of? If she could wash her mother's eyes and make her old man see the light again, it would be really a joy and a joy.

Coconut took off the bamboo tube around his waist, put the water in the stone bowl into the bamboo tube, and happily hummed a mountain song, carrying a betel nut and carrying the bamboo tube. Walk down the Five Finger Peak.

It has been half a month since the coconut fruit entered Wuzhi Mountain, and the people in Bailiao Village all expressed their admiration for the brave coconut fruit, and they all worried about the safety of the coconut fruit. As you know, if you want to get the betel nut of Wuzhi Mountain, you will inevitably encounter fierce beasts and giant pythons. On this day, the people of the village still gathered on the flat dam in front of the village, looked in the direction of Wuzhi Mountain, and silently wished the warriors a safe return. Bai Liao's conscience is also blaming himself, he shouldn't let a kind and brave man take risks for himself. If her ability allows, she really wants to search the entire Wuzhi Mountain and find her sweetheart back. The people in the village were disappointed after waiting for so many days.

Who knows, the coconut fruit carried the betel nut and came to everyone with a spring breeze. The people of the village were startled, and then burst into earth-shattering cheers, which surrounded the coconut fruit and lifted him up and threw him into the air. Bai Liao is even more sad and joyful. With tears in her eyes, she came to Coconut Fruit, looked at him affectionately and said, "Brother Coconut Fruit, I have made you suffer!" Coconut Fruit held the betel nut and said to Bai Liao: Sister Bai Liao, this is the betel nut I gave you.

The two hands were clasped tightly together, the two pairs of eyes looked at each other for a long time, and a thousand words were exchanged at this moment. Coconut fruit singing: A mouthful of betel nut is divided into two parts, eat betel nut together to get engaged, persuade my sister to learn betel nut tree, from beginning to end with one heart.

Bai Liao sang: Looking at my brother and sister across the mountain is anxious, looking at my brother across the water and hating that there is no bridge; I have the heart to build a bridge to find my brother, but I am afraid that my brother has no intention of building a bridge.

Coconut fruit sings "Open Door Song": the road is soft feet, go to the garden to see the flowers bloom; if you want to pick flowers because of the fence, please open the door if you have the heart to give the flowers.

Bai Liao sang "Fragrant Flowers Waiting for Brother to Bloom": Sister plants flowers to water Brother, fragrant flowers wait for Brother to bloom; Brother wants to pick flowers, Sister is willing to lead Brother into the garden.

The people of the village, in order to congratulate a couple of lovers on their happy union, sang and danced, and celebrated for three days and three nights. Finally, let the coconut fruit take Bai Liao back to his hometown. Coconut took Bai Liao back to his home and healed his mother's eyes with spring water. Coconut fruit Bailiao husband and wife love, filial piety to their mother, male farming and female weaving, life is sweet, and the mother is so happy that she can't close her mouth. After Yang Yang finished telling the story, Li Ping's tour guide said: Now, there are rows of betel nut trees planted in the Wuzhi Mountains of Hainan Island, which are said to have been cultivated and planted by the betel nut brought back from the Wuzhi Peak by the coconut fruit. Betel nut, as a gift for engagement, symbolizes loyalty to love, and has been passed down from generation to generation by the Li people.
