Gege's poems have been polished by me, and they better match the surrounding artistic conception, and I have tasted it repeatedly and feel quite satisfied.

Then he applauded himself applauded, and while applauding, he asked Gege: "Good poems, good poems, how about changing them, do you feel like the finishing touch?"

In many cases, what you think is a good creation does not necessarily win the praise of others.

Gege pursed his lips and said, "Cut, I didn't hear anything brilliant, just add to it." ”

She thought so, which made me very frustrated, so I had to explain: "First of all, the poem pays attention to rhyme, even sentence rhyme, or one rhyme to the end, or one, two, four rhymes, I changed it and barely achieved the rhyme. Besides, the battle must be neat,......"

Gege heard my rambling and interrupted impatiently: "Forget it, forget it, shut up, I don't want to listen, it's really disappointing." I'll just say it as I please, why do you talk so much, I don't want to be a poet, that's your business. ”

I was interrupted by Gege, as if I was holding my urine, maybe I was a little strict, a little disappointed, this situation, the words can reach the meaning, why be so restrained and serious, isn't this asking for trouble? You must know that many people hold back for a long time, and in the end they will only say ", so beautiful".

Gege looked a little displeased when he saw me bowing his head and not saying anything, and realized that I had just wanted to talk about the poetic format.

"Stupid, what's wrong? Are you unhappy? Don't be unhappy, remember when I walked the canopy corridor I said that you would give you a reward when you walked away, do you remember?"

Hearing Gege's reminder, my eyes lit up, I raised my head excitedly, and began to speculate about the content of the reward, whether it was a hug or a kiss? In any case, I was looking forward to it, and I kept nodding my head to indicate that I remembered.

Gege saw my salivating appearance, and immediately struck: "Stupid, don't think nonsense, quickly restrain that expression." ”

When she said this, it was clear that the reward was not what I had thought it would be, and I nodded aggrievedly and restrained my complexion.

I saw Gege take out a half-palm-sized, football-shaped, eye-shaped bead from her bag, she took it in her hand and stroked it, then handed it to me, and said, "Here, your reward." ”

After receiving the reward, I played with it repeatedly, and the beads felt hard and smooth, and looked quite beautiful, so I asked, "What is this? ”

Gege said disdainfully: "You don't know this, stupid, this is Bodhi, Thousand-Eyed Bodhi." It can be used as a talisman to keep you safe. ”

"That's amazing, I haven't seen you buy it, is it a gift prepared for me in advance?"

"I think it's beautiful, when we visited the botanical garden yesterday, I found a few linden trees, I picked them up under the tree, who knows where you ran at the time, it's normal not to see it. ”

"Isn't it all the way that you are running after the wind and butterflies, why did it become that I don't know where to run?"

"Grumble again, and the reward is taken back. ”

I hurriedly stopped whining, played with the smooth and shiny Bodhi in my hand, and said with emotion: "The Bodhi tree is really magical, it can produce such a beautiful Bodhi fruit." ”

Hearing my emotion, Gege rolled his eyes and said, "When your head is smart, you are smart enough, and when you are stupid, you are stupid enough, this is what I grinded out with gauze last night, and today I will cheapen you." ”

It turned out that she had polished it with her own hands, and it was no less precious than kissing or hugging, and then I happily packed it up.

After seeing that I had carefully put away the gift, she smiled with satisfaction, and then said, "I have also seen the Wangtian Tree and visited the Botanical Garden, why don't you go back to the city?" If you are fast, you can also participate in today's Songkran Festival, so that you can plan and do something else tomorrow." ”

On the way back, it was sunny and the scenery along the way was still so beautiful, and it took us more than three hours to get back to the city unhurriedly.

After returning to the city, the first important thing is accommodation, Banna's accommodation is a problem, but because the time is still relatively early, and it is Sunday, many foreign tourists have already embarked on the return journey, so we relatively smoothly booked the hotel at a price that is not too expensive, and it is still a separate room accommodation. Although it is a little regrettable, but this way I will not scratch my heart and liver at night and can't sleep.

The hotel is not far from the Lancang River, and it will be a little hasty to go to the Songkran Festival today, so the two of us decided to go to the river first.

The weather in the urban area is very hot, and when I walked to the Lancang River, I found that the riverside was completely a hot market.

The riverside street is a Thai-style street, with beautiful exotic architecture and a dazzling array of foreign food, which is also a good place to hang out.

What's even more lively is that the Lancang River is holding a dragon boat race. The dragon boat team members dressed in various ethnic minority costumes, ready to go, sat on the boat in high spirits, and as soon as the signal was issued, the dragon boats flew away like arrows from the string, and the spectators along the coast cheered and shouted to cheer for their favorite team.

The competition on the river is a friendly match, just to add some festive atmosphere to the Songkran Festival.

On the beach on the bank of the Lancang River, there are also all kinds of snacks, eating, drinking and playing, and there is a thriving and joyful scene everywhere.

We strolled on the beach on the shore, vanilla dry, grilled fish, skewers and so on almost all over the place, Gege's appetite is very surprising, it can be called all the way to eat, her appetite and figure really don't know how to match the same person, eat so many snacks, I don't see obvious signs of bulge in the lower abdomen. In response to such a "rice bucket", I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, "What a waste of food".

After eating and drinking, it was getting dark, and on the way back to the hotel, we passed by the splashing square, where there was no trace of splashing water, and we decided to experience the thrill of splashing water again another day.

Then we made a plan for tomorrow, the next day we went to Songkran Square to feel the splashing water, and then went to the Wild Elephant Valley to see the wild Asian elephants, and after seeing the wild elephants, we drove back to Spring City.

Such a plan will inevitably take up working days, but it doesn't matter, I called Lao Zhao and asked him to help ask for leave, and Lao Zhao agreed very happily, because he knew that I hadn't wasted it yet.

As soon as the lights came on, we returned to the hotel, and the waitress at the front desk greeted enthusiastically, "Hello." We politely replied.

The waitress asked again: "Didn't you go to the Dragon Boat Square and the Lancang River on Binjiang Avenue?"

"We just came back from the Lancang River. Is there any special event over there?" I asked, confused.

The waitress said with a smile: "Tonight, there will be a blessing ceremony for 10,000 people to put Kong Ming lanterns on the banks of the Lancang River. For this grand ceremony, the airport also issued a notice of a two-hour ban on flights. At that time, girls and boys of all ethnic groups dressed in festive costumes will gather on the banks of the Lancang River to release Kong Ming lanterns carrying their good wishes, as well as a grand festival party and fireworks display. ”

Thanks to the friendly waiter, we would have missed out on this exciting event.

Gege asked again, "Is there such a lively event often?"

"The meaning of Songkran for the Dai people is like the Spring Festival of the Han people, so the Songkran Festival is the grandest annual festival of the Dai people. ”

"Do you mean you missed it and can only wait for next year?"

"Yes. ”

Then Gege came to his senses again, jumped excitedly and said, "Stupid, let's go, let's go." ”

Normally, I'm not very interested in this kind of quaint activity, but Gege is very interested, so it's time for him to join in the fun.

In fact, I haven't seen how the Dai people celebrate the New Year, and it's also excellent to observe it.

The Lancang River is close at hand, there is a cable-stayed bridge with a span of about 500 meters and a height of nearly 100 meters on the river surface, the bridge is decorated with colorful landscape lights, after nightfall, the cable-stayed bridge lights shine and reflect the whole sky, which is very beautiful. Just walk in the direction of the bridge to reach the Dragon Boat Square.

The hustle and bustle of the day has come to an end, the excitement of the night has appeared, at this moment, the square has been crowded, mainly young men and women, they will gather here to celebrate this day of farewell to the old and welcome the new, although Banna is not exactly Dai, but the Dai people are the majority, so today's excitement is also equivalent to the liveliness of the whole people.

Seeing that a lot of people have prepared Kong Ming lanterns, but Gege and I are empty-handed, we are a little anxious, but fortunately, this is equivalent to a material exchange conference, that is, a large night market, selling Kong Ming lanterns and water lanterns can be seen everywhere.

It's more expensive than much, so we chose left and right and bought a Kong Ming lantern that we thought was the most beautiful.

The lantern ceremony is dominated by dozens of people wearing Dai costumes, as soon as the time comes, all the people unanimously release the Kong Ming lantern in their hands, thousands of Kong Ming lanterns carrying everyone's wishes float in the air, shining like stars in the sky, we silently made a wish in our hearts.

Looking at the flying and shining Kong Ming lanterns, I couldn't help but say: "It's too capricious, it's too dangerous." ”

"Are you stupid again? My two "too" succeeded in winning Gege's scolding.

I said sadly: "At present, it is the alternation of winter and spring, the weather is dry and dry, it is a period of high incidence of fires, if the Kong Ming lantern falls into the mountains and forests, it may cause forest fires; if it falls into the strict management areas such as liquefied gas stations and gas stations, it is very likely to cause major accidents; if the Kong Ming lantern flies in mid-air, it may hang on the high-voltage line and cause a short circuit in the wire." How can everyone fly so many Kong Ming lanterns together, how can they guarantee that there are no potential safety hazards?"

After hearing my worries, a buddy next to me accosted me and said: "This brother, what you said makes sense, but this is an ancestral custom, in order to reduce potential safety hazards, the official demarcation of the lantern area, the city has made fire emergency preparations, predicted the weather in advance, and temporarily grounded the airport, and finally strictly controlled the quality of Kong Ming lanterns." Today, when the weather is calm and windless, Kong Ming lanterns will not fly around too much, and under normal circumstances, these lights will automatically fall when the fuel runs out. If it was a windy day today, it might not have been approved. ”

"Oh, I see. "This guy can say this, and I was relieved to hear his explanation.

This is a government-approved mass celebration, and there will definitely be adequate precautions and effective emergency plans in place, and my worries are basically unfounded.

"You are really salty and eat turnips and worry about it, and you will spoil everyone's interest. Gege criticized me harshly at this time.

"Oh, blame me for worrying too much. ”

"There's no risk in doing anything, and can you do nothing?"

Gege's criticism is very reasonable, any human behavior is accompanied by risks, as long as the risk assessment can be correctly carried out and a reasonable code of conduct can be formulated, the risk can be effectively avoided.

If you dare to take risks, life will be more exciting.
