A long time ago, when there was no Hebaoshan on this ridge, there was a girl named Lianmei crossing the Lijiang River. Sister Lian is really beautiful. One day, a rich boy came by from nowhere and was fascinated by the beauty of Lianmei. He walked around Lianmei for three days. The rich boy thought that by comparing her beauty with a few beautiful flowers, he could please Lianmei. In fact, Lianmei is not only more beautiful than Hua, but also a very smart girl who can sing and frown. Which younger brother in the upper and lower villages wants to pair up with Lianmei, who sings folk songs: If you want to pair up with me, please set the stage for the pair. Scared many younger brothers into fighting. Some people who can barely sing a few folk songs can't stand a few rounds once they set up a stage, and even plums can't sing all the time, let alone couplets. Lianmei felt sour when she saw this rich dude. Many younger brothers in Shangxianshan Village are much better than him. It's really annoying to walk around her all day, waving flowers and reading nonsense poems. Sister Lian clearly said to the rich man's brother, "Don't spend too much time reading crooked poems. To put it bluntly, do you want to propose? If you want to propose a relative, sing a folk song to the couplet first, and then talk about it later. " Hearing this, the rich boy was very scared. He flew away with excellent students and hurried to take the exam.

A few days later, on the other side came another Kao Xianggong riding a horse, shouting loudly that the boat was going to cross the river. Lianmei listened and said, OK, here comes another one. I'm just asking if there are any real talents. Maybe it's another annoying sour scholar. She crossed the river with her hands akimbo. Brother Hou, what are you going to do across the river? Please answer me with folk songs, not crossing the river with songs. After singing, I even uttered a "whisper", which was more beautiful than the blackbird in the mountain.

Mr. Gao Xianggong on the other side is nicknamed Brother Zao. He is not only familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, but also proficient in Confucius' poems, couplets and folk songs. As soon as he heard that the punting girl was going to sing folk songs with him and listened to her singing beautifully, he thought, "This punting girl is quite powerful! Look at her and let her know that I can sing folk songs twice. " I began to sing: I sang to the couplets and you crossed the river with a dragon boat. Today, Lapras has to catch the exam, and tomorrow, I have to pass the Phoenix to thank Jiao E, and the song has spread across the river and got into Lianmei's ear. Lianmei's eyes danced with joy, and she secretly applauded: "Yo-ho! I can't see that this folk song by Gao Xianghong is quite good. Hang in there and see if people are handsome. " With three poles and two paddles, the boat quickly crossed the river, docked at the dock and put away the bridge stool. Lianmei steadied the boat with a bamboo pole and looked up: "Hey! This exam is very handsome. I'll try his knowledge again. " He said to Brother Zao, "Listen, Xianggong, I'll send you a couplet. If you fail, you can cross the river to catch the exam. If you can't pass the exam, go back and study for a few more years. " Brother Zao saw that the ferry was about to dock. If he didn't speak his mind, he wouldn't have a chance to land. He blushed with anxiety and his heart beat. He crustily skin of head said to Sister Lian, "I'm going ashore soon. I'll send you a pair of couplets." Brother Zao nodded when he saw Lianmei smiling, so he read the first couplet: Scholars sing and miss Lianmei. Sister Lian was very happy to see Brother Zao speak his mind! She bowed her head and said shyly, "Your brother sings like her sister, so my name is Sister Lian." . She opened her mouth to the next couplet. "The boat girl is looking for her brother." Brother Zao was so happy that he said to Sister Lian, "What about you, Sister Lian? Looking for a brother? My name is Brother Zao. " Sister Silian, I miss Brother Zao. It's really a thousand-mile marriage. I put each other's names on the couplets. When the ship landed, Brother Zao and Sister Lian vowed to form a pair.

The next day, Sister Lian sent Brother Zao to take the exam, climbed mountains and mountains, and sent him one journey after another. Sister Lian sent brother Zao away, and even she didn't bother to sing folk songs. During the day, I thought about singing folk songs with Brother Zao, and at night I dreamed of couplets with Brother Zao. I stayed by the river, waiting for Brother Zao to come to the ferry and embroider in the house. I always suspected that it was Brother Zao sitting next to me. But I waited day after day, looking forward to month after month, looking forward to year after year, and after three years, I still didn't see Brother Zao coming back. Sister Lian is waiting for Brother Zao. I'm in a hurry. She wondered in her mind if Brother Zao had changed his mind and jumped over the Longmen to find another sweetheart. She crossed the mountains and came to the ridge where she broke up with Brother Zao, and stood under the pine tree, waiting for Brother Zao to come back. Wait, no one can convince me to come back. I can't wait for Brother Zao. She will never go down the mountain again after her death. Brother Zao returned to the ridge separated from Sister Lian and saw Sister Lian lying under the pine tree at the top of the mountain waiting for him. Because Lianmei has been waiting for Brother Zao at the top of the mountain for many days, and has not eaten or drunk for several days. How happy she should be to see Brother Zao back. However, she only said one sentence in Brother Zao's arms: "Brother Zao, you can't grow old with me, but you will become a lotus when you die." Say, close your eyes and die.

Brother Zao cried for three days and nights with Lianmei in his arms, but died beside Lianmei after a long illness.

Later, the bodies of Brother Zao and Sister Lian disappeared, but there were two big lotus leaves on the ridge. The bud is close to the bud, the pedicel is close to the pedicel, and then it becomes a rocky mountain. The locals call it Hebao Mountain, and this is the ice lotus we can see in Shi Lang.
