"Rumor has it that in the Jianghuai Great Marsh, there lived an evil Flood Dragon. One day, in a fit of madness, it wanted to devour three thousand boys and girls to enhance its powers. Just as it was crossing the bridge into the town, the Dragon-Slaying Sword hanging from the bridge suddenly fell, slashing the evil dragon's tail clean off!"
"Wow, the dragon blood that spurted out had a peculiar fragrance. It splashed onto a pregnant woman crossing the bridge, causing her to go into labor on the spot. Before the midwife could arrive, plop! A baby boy fell into the river."
Ke Wenbin joked, "The baby boy turned into a Crossing-River Dragon, I presume?"
The man leading the horse nodded repeatedly in agreement.
"Exactly, the baby fell into the river, and immediately someone jumped off the bridge to save him. They searched for half an hour, but there was no sign of him. Everyone thought the boy had drowned. But guess what the two gentlemen?"
"What then?"
