Once upon a time, in a remote village, there lived a girl named Xiaoyue. Xiaoyue was kind-hearted and helpful, and she was deeply loved by the villagers. One day, a young man named Wanglang came to the village. He was handsome and eloquent, and soon won Xiaoyue's heart. The two fell in love and decided to elope, but Xiaoyue's parents strongly opposed it. Desperate, Xiaoyue and Wanglang decided to leave the village without saying goodbye and go in search of their own happiness. They packed their bags and secretly left the village, heading towards an unknown direction. The villagers discovered that they were missing and became very worried, searching everywhere, but they could never find any trace of them. Later, the villagers learned that after leaving the village, Xiaoyue and Wanglang encountered a storm and unfortunately perished. When the villagers heard this news, they were very saddened and all felt sorry for them. From then on, the story of Xiaoyue and Wanglang's leaving without saying goodbye spread throughout the village and became a legend that made people sigh.
