In the seventeenth year of Wanli, there was a severe drought in Jiangxi. The sun was so hot that the land cracked, and the men in Longkou Village, Fengcheng County, knelt on the ground. Zheng Chun, the official of the county government, paced back and forth with a wicker stick, saying that everyone laughed and startled the Dragon King in the well. This year, all the dragon kings will drink the northwest wind. Every well that the team he led dug was in ruins. The Shenhan said that someone in the village had angered the Well Dragon King. The villagers knelt in front of the well being drilled, not daring to breathe - but could they get the water back this year?
