Once I was browsing Douyin and saw a familiar story about painting red eyes on a stone lion. I left a message below asking where it was? As a result, many people responded that they also had this legend over there. Coincidentally, there is also this legend in our town. This story was told to me by my father.
My family is in a seaside town. There has always been a rumor that our town resurfaced after Yuanyang Town sank. When the weather is good and the water is clear, you can still see the stone steps of that town. When my father was grazing cattle in the mountains when he was a child, he encountered a thunderstorm. After the rain stopped, he saw a mirage of that town. So I'm convinced.
It is said that the hearts of the people in Yuanyang Town have become bad. There was an old man who was begging from house to house. But no one was willing to give him a meal. Until he arrived at the village, a child found him and gave him a bowl of rice. The old man said to the child: "One day, the eyes of a pair of lions in the village turn red, and there will be a flood. Just take your mother and run up the mountain."
Then the child went to the village entrance to see it every day. The eyes of the stone lion. Opposite the stone lion is a pork stall. The butcher watches the children come to visit every day. He asked: "Child, what are you looking at?" The child said to the butcher: "I am looking at the stone lion's eyes. When it turns red, it will burst into tears." The butcher wanted to play a trick on the child, so he used pig The blood dyed the lion's eyes red. When the child saw the lion's eyes turned red, he went home, took his mother on his back, and ran up the mountain. As the child ran, he looked back to see the water rising rapidly, and in an instant the whole village was covered in water. When they reached the top of the mountain, the water stopped and the Yuanyang Town sank.
