When he drew near, he became unbearably thirsty, and he needed to drink water so he drank his fill from the Yellow River and the Wei River. The Yellow River and Wei River were not enough for him so he went to the North to drink the tidal waters. Before he arrived, he died of thirst half-way. After his death, he threw away his walking stick and it became a peach orchard. |
