In Qiongdu County, there was an old woman, poor and lonely.

In Qiongdu County, there was an old woman. Her family was poor and lonely. Every time she ate, there would be a small snake with horns on its head between the beds. The old woman pitied her and ate happily. Later, it grew up a little, so it was more than ten feet long. So he gave him a horse, and the snake killed him. The magistrate was very angry and blamed the old woman for taking out the snake. The old woman said,"Under the bed." He ordered them to dig deeper and wider, but they could not find anything. The magistrate took his anger out on the old woman and killed her. The snake moved his spirit and said,"Why did you kill my mother?" Take revenge." After that, every night, there would be thunder and wind. After forty days, when the people saw each other, they were surprised and said,"Where did you suddenly wear a fish on your head?" That night, forty miles around, and the city fell into a lake at once. The locals called it the "sunken lake". Only the old woman's house is still intact, and it is still preserved today. Fishermen fishing, must rely on the night, every wind and waves, they live next to the house, quiet and nothing else. The wind and the water were clear, and the city walls and towers were still visible. Now when the water is shallow, the locals there are submerged and get old trees, which are firm and shiny as black as lacquer. Now the good people use it as a pillow and give it to me.
