## Scene
A small yard at the foot of Taihang Mountain. There are a few shovels and baskets by the wall. Yugong is sharpening a shovel. Xiao Yu is playing with his phone. A-Mei is drawing on the ground.
## [Act 1: The "Crazy" Plan & Neighbor’s Gossip]
(Yugong slams the shovel down, looking determined)
Yugong: Today, we start moving the mountain! These two mountains block our way—no sunlight, no easy road to the town. We’ll dig them up, one shovel at a time!
Xiao Yu: (Looks up from his phone, rolling his eyes) Grandpa, are you serious? We can just order takeout online—why bother moving a mountain? And my new gaming console will arrive tomorrow; I don’t want to miss the delivery.
A-Mei: (Jumps up, holding a drawing) Wait! I have a better idea! We can build a slide on the mountain—then we can slide to town in 5 minutes! No digging needed!
Yugong: (Shakes his head) A slide won’t solve the problem, A-Mei. We need to move the mountain, not play on it.
(Old Li walks in, holding a teacup, and leans against the door)
Old Li: Yugong, you’re too old for this! The mountain is thousands of years old—you’ll never move it. Last week, I saw a rabbit get lost on the mountain for three days!
Yugong: (Puffs out his chest) I can’t move it, but my children can. My children can’t, but my grandchildren can. Someday, the mountain will be gone!
Xiao Yu: (Mumbles) Great, so I’m stuck digging mountains for the next 100 years. My friends will laugh at me.
A-Mei: (Grins) Maybe we can make a "Mountain-Digging Vlog"! We’ll get millions of views, and people will send us digging tools!
Old Li: (Chuckles) You kids watch too much internet. Yugong, listen to me—just move to the town. There’s a new supermarket there with discounted eggs every Tuesday.
Yugong: (Waves his hand) No! I was born here, and I’ll die here. And I’ll move this mountain before I die!
## [Act 2: The Annoyed Mountain God & Heavenly Messenger]
(Inside the mountain, Zhenjun is lying on a cloud, snoring. A shovel hits the mountain wall, making a loud "thud". Zhenjun jumps up, rubbing his eyes.)
Zhenjun: Who’s making noise? Can’t a god take a nap in peace? (Flies to the mountain top, sees Yugong and the kids digging) Oh, it’s that old man again!
(He flies down to the yard, crossing his arms)
Zhenjun: Yugong! Stop digging! My walls are cracking—my favorite teacup fell off the shelf this morning!
Yugong: (Looks up, not stopping) Mountain God, this mountain blocks our way. I have to move it.
Xiao Yu: (Whispers to A-Mei) Is he real? Can he give me a autograph for my gaming friends?
A-Mei: (Whispers back) Ask him if he can make the mountain disappear with magic!
Zhenjun: (Hears them, rolling his eyes) I can’t just make it disappear! That’s against Heavenly rules. And no autographs—I’m not a celebrity god.
(Just then, Tiangong flies in, holding a scroll, looking flustered)
Tiangong: Zhenjun! The Jade Emperor heard the noise—he wants to know what’s happening here! (Sees Yugong digging) Oh! You’re the old man who’s digging the mountain? The Jade Emperor says if you keep this up, the mountain might fall on the town!
Yugong: (Puts down the shovel, hands on hips) I’m not trying to break the mountain—I’m trying to move it. For my family, and for the people after me.
A-Mei: (Holds up her drawing) We can move it to the sea! The fish will love having a new home. And we can build a bridge from the mountain to the town—charge people 1 yuan to cross!
Tiangong: (Panics, waving the scroll) That’s not allowed! The sea has its own gods—they’ll argue with Zhenjun!
Zhenjun: (Sighs) Exactly! I don’t want to fight with the Sea God. He still hasn’t forgiven me for borrowing his umbrella last year.
## [Act 3: The "Smart" Compromise & Happy Ending]
(Yugong thinks for a minute, then smiles)
Yugong: What if we don’t move the whole mountain? We can dig a tunnel through it! Then the mountain stays, and we have a road to town.
Xiao Yu: (Eyes light up) A tunnel! We can put LED lights in it—like a disco tunnel! And sell snacks at the entrance.
A-Mei: Yes! We can call it "Yugong’s Tunnel of Fun"—tourists will come from all over!
Zhenjun: (Nods) A tunnel? That’s not bad. My walls won’t crack, and I can still nap.
Tiangong: (Checks the scroll) The Jade Emperor will agree! A tunnel is better than moving the whole mountain. And it’s safer for the town.
Old Li: (Walks back in, holding a bag of eggs) Did I hear "tunnel"? Can I be the first one to walk through it? I’ll bring my wife—she loves new places.
Yugong: (Laughs, picking up the shovel) Let’s start digging the tunnel tomorrow! Xiao Yu, you can design the LED lights. A-Mei, you can plan the snack stand.
Xiao Yu: (Puts down his phone) Deal! But I’m taking a break for my gaming console delivery.
A-Mei: I’ll make a poster—"Yugong’s Tunnel: Come for the road, stay for the snacks!"
Zhenjun: (Smiles) I’ll help—just a little. I’ll make sure the tunnel walls are strong. And don’t tell the Jade Emperor I helped—I don’t want extra work.
Tiangong: (Relaxes, rolling up the scroll) Great! I’ll tell the Jade Emperor the good news. No more noise, no more trouble.
(Everyone laughs. Yugong picks up his shovel, Xiao Yu takes out his phone to search for "LED tunnel designs", A-Mei starts drawing a poster, Zhenjun flies up to check the mountain wall, Tiangong flies back to heaven, and Old Li sits on a chair, eating an egg, watching them.)
