The origin of "shouting water"

"Shouting Water" is located in the northwest of Tongxin County, where there is a clear spring that drips from less than three feet underground for years, which is rare in the arid southern mountainous area of Ningxia. People can't help asking: Where did this clear spring come from? Why is this place called "Shouting Water"? There is also a beautiful story in it. According to legend, Mu Guiying, a brave and patriotic woman, led the three armed forces to pursue thieves and robbers from south to north in order to protect her country, guard the three customs and resist the invasion of Liao State, and encountered numerous difficulties and dangers all the way. On this day, Mu Guiying led the soldiers to run non-stop for a day and a night. After a moment's rest, he rode his horse and put it in the shouting water area in the northwest of Tongxin County. It's summer, summer and June 6, and the sun is like fire, and it's extremely hot. The people are all under the shade of willow trees and at the foot of the south wall, enjoying the summer and chatting. Suddenly, I heard a string of horses * * * ringing in the valley, and a group of people flew over in a blink of an eye. The dust was flying, and I saw Mu Guiying, a female general, riding a bordeaux horse, galloping at the head of the team, approaching Zhuangzi. With fine features, wearing a butterfly helmet and chain armour, she dismounted majestically. At this time, Mu Guiying's team was exhausted, people had no food, horses had no grass, their legs trembled, and their mouths were covered with layers of foam and blood scabs. The soldiers were hungry and thirsty, and some people began to drink horse urine. The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and Mu Guiying is upset at the sight of his morale. Thousands of troops did not fall under the iron hoof of the soldiers, but today they will die of thirst on the dry beach. What should we do? Where is the way? Seeing that the soldiers couldn't hold on one by one, they staggered on the ground and shouted "water-water-water". The war horse also raised its front hoof and brayed to the sky. People and horses shouted and shouted in this way. Strangely enough, he shouted and shouted. Soon, a piece of green land appeared on this barren dry beach. Water was slowly oozing from the green land, and there was a tidal smell. The war horse smelled the water and ran to dig the soil with its hoof. The soldiers also rushed to the front, and too many cooks dug a pit three feet deep. I saw a sweet spring water flowing out of the pit. Mu Guiying's team was filled with cheers, and the soldiers had a delicious meal. Suddenly, they felt cool and sweet. The horses also drank a round belly, wagging their heads and tails one by one, and they were very comfortable. Mu Guiying again issued a call to arms to pursue the enemy. From then on, this place was called "Shouting Water".
