Chuan Bei Mu / Zhe Bei Mu - the swamp runners
These two brothers lived in the hot temperate swamp and they LOVED to run!! As soon as they were old enough to stop suckling their mother's hot nodules they started racing against each other. Zhe was better in the summer (heat ... Z=HEat) whereas Chuan was better in the rain because his lungs were inherrently moist.
Both brothers were known to CRUSH their enemies, and they were (cc: incompatible with Wu Tou, Fu Zi) and cold swamps (cc: cold phlegm).
