Since becoming the son-in-law of Laos, his son-in-law has always been busy with many tasks. As the years passed, his nostalgia for his country, his father, and his brothers became more and more intense. Many times he asked the Lao king for permission to let the couple visit, but the Lao king insisted because he only had a daughter. The only thing is, I'm afraid that when I go back to my hometown, my husband won't come back.

And to keep his son-in-law, the king instructed his entourage to strictly monitor and guard him, and at the same time issued an edict according to the laws of the Kingdom of Laos if he arbitrarily fled or did not obey the king's orders. The king will be severely punished according to the laws of the kingdom.

Talking about the entourage, after a day of sobering up, they could no longer see the sign of the husband and wife. They searched Sam Nua's land but could not find it, so they had to return to the capital to report to the king.

After learning about the incident, the Lao king was angry and immediately sent his men and horses straight to Vietnam to chase. The couple ran away forever and ended up on the banks of the Ma River.

After waiting a day and a night, there was still no sign of a boat. The couple was hungry and did not want the princess to suffer injustice because of them. The son-in-law hugged his wife and told him to stay in the cave and wait, then alone they connected the rope and crossed the river. pulled the raft to the other side as a bridge to take his wife across the river.
