A long time ago, there was a pair of good young people on the island, the male was called Yi Basket, the female was called Yi Wei, and the two people learned a set of stone beating skills in addition to fishing and weaving nets. Still tall and tall, with a large body, arms with a thousand pounds of strength, according to the tail appearance of Yuan Tingting, extraordinarily Iconic, but the personality is unusually strong. The villagers enviously called them a natural pair, a pair made in the ground.

That year, God was not beautiful, there was no rain for months, the grass on the island withered and yellowed, the trees died, all the wells dried up to the bottom, and fishermen flocked to fetch water dozens of miles away. A bowl of water to wash your face in the morning, wash your hands at noon, wash your feet at night, and you are reluctant to pour it out, it is really expensive as oil. Although the lovers of Yi Lan and Yi Wei have dry lips and teeth all day long and are thirsty, their hearts are worried about the villagers who lack water. Every day at dawn, the sun just climbed up from the sea, the couple had already carried the hammer and the hammer, from the west side of the island to the east side of the island, and from the north side of the island to the south, the whole island traveled all over, but also found several places to dig wells, but unfortunately the blind man lit the lamp in vain, and all the wells could not flow a drop of water. But they are not discouraged, and still walk around the island every day, looking for water.

One day, an old fisherman over 100 years old on the island told them that there was a green grass growing in the cave on the island, and Yi Lan Yiwei was overjoyed to hear it, and Yiwei said: "Where there is grass, there must be water." The three of them immediately rushed to the cave; look inside, "Oops"! The old fisherman lost his voice and shouted, and it turned out that there was a dragon lying in the cave. What to do if you see that your head is as big as a bucket, your eyes are as long as a bell, and your tail is as long as a broom? Yi Lan said in the same voice, "This only source of water cannot be occupied by the evil dragon, drive it away!" Can the two of them fight a dragon? The old man was suspicious. Yi Lan said firmly: "The villagers are going to die of thirst, even if they open up this life, they must also take back the water source." The old fisherman shook The hand of The Basket said, "Child, the heavens will bless you, I heard my predecessors say when I was a child, the dragon is most afraid of cow tendon, you rub the cow tendon into a rope, it may be useful."

When all is said and done, the villagers helped the couple find a lot of beef tendons. But only the basket is strong in the tail. to roll it into a rope. They rubbed and rubbed, from sunrise to sunset, the stars shifted, the tide rose and fell, and a three-foot-long beef tendon was finally kneaded into a rope. As soon as the sky was bright, the two lovers rushed impatiently to the stone cave, and shouted loudly: "Evil dragon, return me to the stone cave!" As soon as the words fell, the drawstring waved. The rope was indeed extremely powerful, and the cave was pounding. Like a thunderbolt lightning, it is a pity that the cow tendon rope is a little shorter, and it cannot be pumped on the evil dragon. The evil dragon was asleep. Shocked by the sound, he hurriedly attacked with his tail. The dragon scales rubbed over Yi Lan's right eye, and immediately blood flowed like blood, and Yi Lan was blind in his right eye.

The dragon lost, Yi Basket was not discouraged, yi tail saw Yi Basket injured in heart pain, tears flowing. But in order to regain the water source, the two still rubbed the cow tendon rope. Rub it, rub it into a rope that is more than four inches long. Yi Weiyi measured it and said, "This time, I am not afraid of the evil dragon." The two men came to the stone cave with the rope again, and without saying a word, they swung the rope and whipped it, and the evil dragon could not stand it. The dragon bone was cut off by the ox tendon rope, and the evil dragon roared out of the hole with a roar of pain, and before it could take off into the sea, it lay motionless on the beach. However, Yi Lan was too impatient, and at the moment when the evil dragon came out of the cave entrance, he rushed into the hole, and the dragon scales rubbed his left eye again, and the blood flowed like a spring of water, and he passed out at the bottom of the cave, and yi tail slammed into his beloved, crying out to the heavens, crying until the sky was dark, the sun and moon were dark, the sun and moon were dark, the eyes were dripping with blood, and finally fell on The side of Yi Lan. In an instant, where the blood and tears spilled on the tail of the basket, the sand and stones fell one after another. Form a well. The well water gushed out, the drink was clear and sweet, and the islanders thought about the source of drinking water, and named the cave "Basket Tail Stone Room", also known as "Dragon Palace Cave".
