The train arrived at the station at almost 7 o'clock in the morning, and I was woken up from my sleep by Lele, and I opened my sleepy eyes in a bit of a daze, then picked up my luggage, followed Haozi and them, and squeezed out of the train.

As soon as I stepped onto the platform, the cold air made me shiver, and I quickly took out a coat from my backpack and draped it over my body, but I still felt very cold. In order to keep out the cold, I had to keep beating in place, I really regretted not bringing a few more clothes when I went out, and now it seems that I can only wait until the foot of Huangshan Mountain to find a shop to rent a military coat. Lele naturally won't let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and jokingly ridiculed me.

Walking out of the station with the crowd, we met up with the tour group and the local escort in the square in front of the station. There are about 20 people in the group, most of them are young people in their thirties and forties, who should be colleagues of a certain company, and they take advantage of the weekend holiday to travel together. A group of people gathered together to joke, and bursts of laughter came from time to time in the crowd. After waiting for a while, the tour guide saw that everyone was there, and then arranged for us to get on a bus. After having breakfast in a hotel not far from the train station, and after a little adjustment, we headed for the first stop of this trip to Huangshan, Xidi Ancient Town.

Xidi is located at the southern foot of the Yellow Mountain, only 40 kilometers away from the Yellow Mountain Scenic Area, known as the "Peach Blossom Spring", surrounded by mountains, two streams from the north of the village, the east of the village through the village in the south of the village Huiyuan Bridge converge, 99 high walls and deep alleys make tourists feel like in the labyrinth. The village was founded in the Northern Song Dynasty and has a history of nearly 960 years. There are hundreds of ancient dwellings retained, and the basic appearance and characteristics of the Ming and Qing dynasties are preserved as a whole, and they were declared to be included in the list of world cultural heritage ......in 1999.

I turned my head to look at Hiroko, who was sitting next to me, listening to music with headphones on, and shaking her head to the melody from time to time. And Xiaofei leaned on Haozi's side and dozed off, as if she hadn't woken up from last night's dream.

After a bumpy ride, the car finally stopped in the parking lot at the entrance of Xidi Village. Looking out the car window, a tall torii towers over the edge of a frozen river. The tour guide told us that this is the landmark building of the ancient residential group of Xidi, the "Hu Wenguang archway" built in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, commonly known as the "Xidi archway".

On the archway, "Jing Fan Prime Minister" four vigorous and powerful big characters give people a sense of atmosphere and grace, everyone jumped off the car and rushed to the archway to take pictures, after taking pictures, I couldn't help but look up, at a glance I saw the statue of Wenqu Xing in the middle of the archway, it seems to be telling me that everything is inferior, only the sage precept of reading high.

Stepping into the village, I instantly felt the tranquility of the ancient village.

"It would be nice to stay here. Lele took my hand and happily walked on the bluestone paved path.

"Hehe, that's not Tao Yuanming. There is no vulgar rhyme, and sex loves hills and mountains. fell into the dust net by mistake and went for thirty years. The birds love the old forest, and the pond fish thinks about the old place. Open up the wilderness in the south and return to the garden...... "I involuntarily recited Tao Yuanming's song "Returning to the Pastoral Home".

“…… There is no dust in the courtyard, and there is spare time in the empty room. After being in the cage for a long time, you can return to nature. Xiaobei, I can't see that you are quite familiar with memorization. Lele immediately became excited and looked at me with a look of adoration.

"Of course, this is the result of my daily special training!" "Usually I am lazy and don't like to endorse, so the Chinese quiz is always unqualified, and the number of times I was left by the teacher is naturally a lot, but I didn't expect to apply what I learned today, which came in handy.

The tour guide said that Xidi Village is in the shape of a boat, and the ancient residential buildings in the village are like cabins that form the hull of a big ship; in the past, the tall trees and 13 archways at the head of the village are like the masts and sails of a ship; the rolling mountains around the village are like the waves of the sea; and the moon lake in front of the village and hundreds of acres of fertile land surrounding the village are more like this huge ship is anchored in this quiet harbor......

Walking on the bluestone paved path in Xidi Village, the slightly dilapidated houses stretch into the distance along the alleys, like history without end. The commercial atmosphere here is very strong, and there are small shops along the road, which makes tourists can't help but stop and stop. Walking into a house at random gives people the illusion of being in the past. Here, whether it is a table from the Ming Dynasty or a chair from the Qing Dynasty, every piece of furniture is more or less aged, and they all contain a history that has never been told. Reach out and caress them, carefully.

While walking and taking pictures, the stone road that has just rained is wet. Walking in the narrow and quiet alleys, it seems that we have come to not Anhui, but the rainy town in the south of the Yangtze River.

However, Haozi didn't seem to have any interest in these ancient buildings, he was pulled by Xiao Fei a little bored, with a depressed expression, and only when Xiao Fei occasionally turned back to talk to him, he reluctantly showed a dry smile.

"Xiaobei, Haozi is so pitiful. Lele secretly tugged at my sleeve.

"Hmm......" I turned my head to look, so I gloated and shouted at Haozi, "Dead mouse, do you secretly think about spring? Why do you always see you with a bitter gourd face......?"

"Ah......h

Looking at Haozi's embarrassed appearance, the two of us smiled backwards.

Under the guidance of the tour guide, we came to the "Peach and Plum Garden" again. The Taoli Garden is composed of two parts, the main house and the courtyard, which was originally the former residence of Hu Yuanxi, a Hui merchant, and a private Mongolian museum. The main house is a three-room three-in-two-floor structure, and the two-in-one upstairs has a unique "upstairs well", so that the whole house can be well-lit and air-flowing.

According to the tour guide, the woodcarved railing upstairs is a hole used by the lady on a blind date in ancient times, where the lady can secretly watch the young man who came to the house to propose marriage, and then pick out her favorite Ruyi Langjun.

Following the tour guide, we continued to walk inside, only to see that the two and three entrances were separated by a powder wall, and there was a door in the middle to communicate, and the door was written by the official script of "Peach Blossom Garden" stone carved banner. And on the small door leading to the street, there are also three small seal characters engraved "peach and plum garden", which means "peach and plum all over the world". Everyone looks east and west, everything feels fresh, everything is interesting.

"Come and see here!" Xiao Fei suddenly waved her hand at us very hard, and following Xiao Fei's voice, we came to the edge of a small pool, only to see that the water in the pool had already been frozen by the cold air. But under this thick layer of ice, there is a lot of life, and a few red goldfish are swimming leisurely under the ice. It was an eye-opener for those of us from the South.
