Yang Zhuang village, the east end of the Yang family in front of the door, there is a plate of good stone mill, more than 100 years, people have never used it. What is the reason for this? Here is what happened.

  During the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, the old man Yang, who was the head of the four gates at the east end of Yang Zhuang, made friends with a long family fairy who had a thousand years of Taoism. Since then, the Yang family's life has become more and more prosperous. Who does not know the prosperity of the Yang family in Yangzhuang?

  This long family immortal, who called himself Mr. Huang, often transformed into an old man with a white beard and came to the living room of the old man at night to cheer. Every time, both sides had a good conversation. No matter what the Yang family wanted, as long as he could do it, he tried every possible way to get it.

  One winter night, Mr. Huang asked old man Yang: "East, you see what things are still missing at home?" Yang old man is also very content, busy answering: "Except for the lack of a plate mill, nothing is missing." This Mr. Huang heard, said with a smile: "The proprietor wants a plate of mills, it is very easy to do, tomorrow night at three o'clock, I will bring you back. But one thing, you must remember, when you wait for me in front of the door, when I carry the mill to the door, you say it is so light, so light, but do not say it is so tired, so tired. If you say the wrong thing, I will suffer a great disaster." After saying that, he turned around and left.

  By the next night nearly three o'clock, old man Yang went to the gate early to wait for Mr. Huang. He stood at the door and did not wait for a bag of smoke, see Mr. Huang came with a large plate of grinding on his back. Yang old man looked at it carrying such a large mill, heart: do not crush it! His heart a thrill, Mr. Huang forgot, and said: "so tired, so tired! Mr. Huang heard a butt sitting on the stone mill, a long breath, and spit two mouthfuls of blood, breathlessly said: "East, I taught you to say, how did you forget? This time I may be exhausted." Old man Yang heard, very regretful, busy changing his mouth again, and said, "So light, so light!" Mr. Huang said: "can not be undone, our fate can only go so far, now, we have to part ways. If you want to find me in the future, you can go to Lou Dou County, Shanxi to find me." The words did not fall, Mr. Huang was nowhere to be found.

  Since then, the Yang family's family business has been declining day by day. Old man Yang misses Mr. Huang every day. To go to Shanxi Lou Dou County to find him, one is not a detailed address, two is not a detailed name, but where to find ah? Make the old man Yang embarrassed.

  Winter to spring, the sowing season has arrived again, the servants to the barn to get rakes, found hanging in the west house on the hill of the rakes and sowers, an old weasel died, Yang old man to take a look, suddenly realized, then understand the meaning of Shanxi Sow Dou County.

  Yang old man to memorialize the dead long family immortal told his children and grandchildren not to use this plate mill, forever put there as a memorial. Until now, this plate mill is still placed in the same place.
