Young Swordsman

"There are dragons under the river that eat infatuated women." This old saying has been circulating in the town for I don't know how many years. "If I become number one in the world, I will fly you across this river. Why are you afraid of dragons?" The young man looked at the girl and laughed loudly. The girl smiled coyly, looking stunning. The waves on the river surged, dragons appeared, and the clouds and rain seemed to laugh at his weakness. Ten years later, when the boy grew up, the girl also got married. The boy disappeared for three years. When he came back, he heard that the girl had married Zhang Yuanwai, a member of the town. He smiled and did not ask for more information. He could barely make ends meet by ferrying people across the river. "Your promise is really worthless." The girl sneered, dressed in gold and silver, and stepped onto his boat. He smiled bitterly and took her across the river in a boat. Looking at her back, the young man's rusty sword hanging on the bow of the boat trembled slightly, and he smiled bitterly: "I have learned swordsmanship for three years, but I haven't been able to slay a dragon for you." One day, a peerless swordsman walked across the river. After the sword was passed, there was no more dragon in the river. This novel and its characters are purely fictitious.
