Chapter 8 The Marriage Tree by the River
The back of the ancient city is a moat, the river water is clear, you can clearly see the fish swimming comfortably in the water, in the city, there is such a river with excellent water quality, it is commendable, it can be seen that the city has made vital policies and determinations for the protection of the environment.
The two sides of the ancient city wall are not very long, and it will take more than ten minutes to walk to the end.
Descending from the other end of the ancient building, an antique bridge is erected over the moat at the back, leading to the secret garden behind the ancient city.
Perhaps most of the people who come here come in couples, so you can see a large tree on the side of the bridge covered with colorful ribbons, which dance in the wind when the wind blows, which is very spectacular.
After Li Yan and Wen Ying got off the ancient building, they stepped on the small bridge on the moat.
Wen Ying looked at the river under the small bridge for a while, the river was flowing slowly, and inadvertently, the beautiful face reflected in the river covered the small fish that were grabbing food.
Soon, Wen Ying set her eyes on the big tree full of ribbons on the bank of the river, and walked over quickly, her slender hand swept over the fluttering ribbon, touching the palm of her hand, and felt itchy.
"Li Yan, why is this tree full of so many ribbons?" Wen Ying turned to look at Li Yan, wanting to get an answer from Li Yan's mouth.
Li Yan smiled: "You take a closer look at the ribbon to see if there are any words on it." ”
Li Yan did not directly tell Wen Ying that this tree is called the marriage tree, and the lovers and women who come and go like to bring all kinds of ribbons here, and hang the ribbons full of good wishes and sustenance words on the branches.
Not to mention the significance of doing this, just the business of the small shop not far away, because of the existence of this marriage tree, directly drove the economic growth of the small shop, to put it comprehensively, it can be said to drive the tourism economy of one side.
No matter what industry, it is closely related to people's needs, and even a fool will make money in the economy under your will, let alone open a small shop in such a good location?
Wen Ying chose a purple ribbon, put her eyes close to the ribbon, and carefully studied the words on the ribbon, so-and-so is willing to be with so-and-so, forever married, and the white head is not separated.
Wen Ying changed another ribbon, and the words on it also had the same meaning as the previous one.
Wen Ying read several in a row, all of them were similar content, and then she realized that this tree should be where people place their hopes for a beautiful marriage, looking at the dense ribbons, it is conceivable how many people have been here, and how many people will start this beautiful marriage.
Wen Ying didn't notice that when she first came over, there was a sign, the arrow was pointing at the tree, and three big red characters were written on the sign, Marriage Tree.
"It turns out that this tree is a love tree specially prepared for couples. Wen Ying thought for a moment, and then nodded convincingly.
"Look at the sign behind you, what is written on it?" Li Yan pointed to the sign not far behind Wen Ying and said with a smile.
Wen Ying looked at it carefully, and finally saw it clearly, "It was originally called the marriage tree, but it's not wrong for me to call it the love tree, it all means the same thing." ”
"By the way, do you have a girlfriend?" Wen Ying asked playfully.
"Of course not, so far, a bachelor of real value. Li Yan replied embarrassedly.
"I see," Wen Ying nodded, thoughtful, and then asked, "Then do you have a favorite girl?"
Li Yan wanted to say that the girl I liked was opposite, but Li Yan didn't dare to say it, for fear of scaring away the girl who had just met for the first time.
It is said that men chase women across the mountain, and women chase men across the veil, Li Yan is also a little helpless at this time, like to like, once the point is broken, what direction will the next thing develop, Li Yan doesn't know, and he doesn't dare to try it easily.
Generally speaking, love at first sight is love, if the other party is too long-looking, who do you think will fall in love with the other person at first sight?
"What do you say?" Li Yan thought for a while, and then took the conversation, "The girl I like should be the kind of girl who looks quiet and beautiful, and when two people get along, they can make each other feel relaxed, just like two good friends who talk about everything." ”
Li Yan's words made Wen Ying a little unconscious, no matter what, men like the woman they marry in the future, a little bit of a small jasper, gentle and lovely, and understanding.
"Then do you have such a girl in your heart?" Wen Ying continued to ask.
Li Yan thought about it and said with some ambiguity: "It should be regarded as yes, but I don't know what the girl will think in her heart." ”
After Li Yan finished speaking, he looked straight at Wen Ying, and saw that Wen Ying had some strange feelings in his heart, and he didn't know what kind of feeling it was, so he always felt a little at a loss.
Wen Ying avoided Li Yan's somewhat burning eyes, and was embarrassed to ask any further, so she directly changed the topic.
"Let's continue walking, I don't know what lies ahead. After Wen Ying finished speaking, she turned around directly, bypassed the marriage tree, and chose a path, and Li Yan quickly followed behind.
Li Yan realized for a moment what he had just said, it seemed that he was a little inappropriate, or that although his answer was a little ambiguous, his vision seemed to be a little too direct.
Did it make the other party feel scared? Li Yan didn't dare to imagine it, he could only pretend that nothing had happened just now, and he also hoped that Wen Ying's mind was not so delicate.
The more you go inside, the more you can feel the seclusion inside, as if it is completely isolated from the outside world, with birds singing and flowers everywhere, and occasionally you can meet a few couples who are here in love.
In the middle of the garden, there is a small wooden house, next to which is a small playground, but unfortunately, there is no one in this playground, perhaps now when everyone is at work, and it is normal for tourists to be sparse.
Wen Ying saw that there was a place nearby where she could swing, so she walked over quickly, sat on the swing slowly, and swinged.
"It feels like I haven't been on a swing for a long time," Wen Ying said with a smile, "I remember the first time I swung on the swing, it was when I was seven or eight years old, and I haven't played since then." ”
"Then let's have fun today," Li Yan also laughed, at least, Wen Ying didn't hurt herself, "Actually, when it comes to swinging, I remember when I was a child, my parents helped me build one on the big tree at the door, and later, because the branches were not strong, I fell down, and my butt almost bloomed, because of this incident, my dad was scolded by my mother, and the swing was completely dismantled by my mother, and I cried for several days." ”
"When I was a kid, everyone must have been skinny, but now that I think about it, it's really funny. Wen Ying smiled, "But at that time, my parents were strict, and I didn't have too much childhood fun, otherwise, I wouldn't choose to play everywhere now." ”
We will cherish beautiful things in our hearts for a lifetime, especially those that are indispensable in our memories, and we can make ourselves feel happy and satisfied all the time.
The two of them walked around the garden, and the time was almost in the evening, and when they came out of the gate of the ancient building, the storefront lights along the street had already been turned on, and the neon mixed with the crowd, as well as the fragrance wafting from not far away, made people extremely intoxicated.
