Stand at the bow of the boat
Looking at the wide lake, the wind and waves are calm, like a smooth mirror.
I saw the shore of the lake in the distance, the pink lotus flowers vied with each other to open, out of the silt but not stained, clear ripples but not demons, slim and elegant, just like the flower fairy in the sky, people only dare to watch from a distance and dare not blasphemy.
The lotus leaves are infinitely green, the lotus flowers are different red, the moon lake at this time is really extraordinarily beautiful, at this time of year, the lotus flowers in the lake are in full bloom, there are always many tourists who come to enjoy the beautiful lotus flowers in the lake.
Listening to the ethereal singing of the little girl, it seems that the whole Moon Lake is full of spirituality, the lotus flowers in the lake keep nodding with the breeze, and the fish in the water also jump out of the water, as if they are cheering for Jiajia's singing, and the whole Moon Lake seems to have become more lively, full of vitality and vitality.
"Ah, Mom, you see there's a fish in there!" Suddenly, the little girl saw a big carp jumping out of the water, and was immediately surprised, and excitedly pulled her mother's arm and danced.
"Sit down obediently, don't jump around on the boat, you know. Jiajia's mother immediately hugged her excited daughter.
"Got my mother!" the little girl sat down obediently, but the children with ADHD are not easy to control, the little girl curiously put her fleshy little hand into the lake, with the wooden boat moving forward, the little girl's little hand drew a waterline on the water, seeing her daughter's movements, the mother held her daughter's hand tightly.
The little girl put her hand in the water, and from time to time a little fish would come up and suck her chubby fingers, and every then the little girl would hear the silver bell-like laughter of the little girl in the boat.
Everyone walked around the lake twice, looked at the scenery in the lake twice, and still fell in love, as if they would never get tired of seeing the beautiful scenery in the lake.
It's a pity that the wharf is always the destination of the boat, the long-adrift boat finally returned to the shore, back to the dock at the door of the house, everyone reluctantly got off the boat, and from time to time looked back at the beauty of the lake,
Unfortunately, the sun was already high in the sky, the weather was gradually getting hot, and sitting on a bare boat, it was easy to suffer from dehydration and heat stroke, so everyone had to embark on the return journey and soon returned home.
"Come, let's eat watermelon...... everyone returned home under the scorching sun, everyone was sweating slightly, and seeing that everyone was back, my mother hurriedly cut a big iced watermelon, and then shouted to everyone.
"Thank you, Auntie!" said several young people politely.
"Thank you, grandma......" Jiajia also thanked politely.
"Well, it's so cool......" Yang Guang took a bite and sighed as if he was enjoying it.
"It's delicious...... "Eating cool iced watermelon on a hot summer day is really a high-class treat.
After eating the iced watermelon, the heat on the body was finally dispelled, and everyone suddenly felt refreshed and energetic, and began to talk about the beautiful scenery in the Moon Lake with great interest.
……………………
After lunch, everyone came to the yard, sat around the stone table, slowly and leisurely tasted the bitter tea of the countryside, although the entrance of this tea is bitter, but the aftertaste is sweet, there is a different taste, just like being a man, first bitter and then sweet, only with effort, sweat, in order to have a harvest.
"Yo, Xiaofeng, your teapot is still a purple clay pot!" The old man also loves tea, and he knows a little about all kinds of teapots.
"I guess, I remember that my grandfather was still in use. Zhang Feng thought about it for a moment and then said.
"Well, that's at least fifty or sixty years old. The old man stroked the lid of the purple clay pot and nodded.
"Grandpa Liu, is this purple clay pot an antique?" Yang Guang asked with some curiosity, everyone knows that the antique purple clay pot is not cheap now, there are hundreds of millions of handfuls.
"Hehe, this should be something made on a large scale with machines in modern times, and it has a large amount in existence, so the value is not high, and it is worth one or two thousand yuan. The old man explained with a smile.
Everyone listened curiously to the old man's explanation, and then it was a pity that they couldn't witness the birth of a sky-high antique, but Zhang Feng just smiled slightly,
Valuable antiques are generally fine products in the new time, and the old man is just a poor teacher in the village, how can he have the money to buy a high-end purple clay pot, so Zhang Feng is not disappointed, only as a souvenir, as an ordinary tea set.
"Hehe, everyone drank this tea just now, do you think the fragrance in the tea is very strong?" Seeing everyone nodding suspiciously, the old man continued: "This is the precipitation of the old purple clay pot in the years, everyone knows that the teapot that is often used is easy to form tea scales, and over time, the fragrance essence of these tea leaves is precipitated in the teapot, so the longer the purple sand pot is used, the better the effect of making tea, and this is how the fragrance comes over time." ”
"So that's the case...... everyone suddenly realized, it turned out to be like this, no wonder this ordinary bitter tea, drinking so aftertaste, it turned out to be because of the teapot.
On the other side, the old lady also took a few girls to the flower garden, visiting the garden to enjoy the flowers, and introducing the knowledge of various wildflowers to the juniors.
"Grandma Liu, what kind of flower is this, it's so beautiful!" asked Zhang Lin's classmate Li Wei curiously.
"Hehe, this is the Lycoris flower, in fact, it has two more beautiful names. Glancing at everyone, the old lady smiled and continued, "One name is Manshusawa."
"Manjushua, what a beautiful name...... the girls slowly read this wonderful name in their mouths, and felt that there was a special charm.
"Oh, yes, it's also called Manjushava, which is a kind of 'celestial flower' from Sanskrit, originally from the Buddhist scripture Lotus Sutra. ”
"In addition to this, it has an even louder name—the Flower of the Other Side," the old lady slowly introduced to the girls.
"The Flower of the Other Side...... This is the other side flower?" Everyone has heard many legends about the other side flower, but they didn't expect this to be the other side flower, so everyone was surprised and a little unbelievable.
Hearing the flowers on the other side, everyone became interested, and even the young people who were drinking tea held their breath and listened curiously, wanting to know about this legendary wonderful flower.
"Yes, it is recorded in the Buddhist scriptures that the flowers on the other side bloom for a thousand years and fall for a thousand years, and the flowers and leaves will never meet. Love is not cause and effect, fate is destined for life and death............" Then the old lady continued to introduce to everyone,
Lycoris flowers are also called manzhu sawa flowers, also called other flowers.
The flower of the other side means the flower of death. It is generally believed to be a leading flower that grows on the road to death.
The legend of the fragrance of flowers has magical powers, can evoke the memory of the deceased, blooming in the seventh month of the lunar calendar, large and large, bright red as blood, its beautiful and sad name comes from the Lotus Sutra, one of the four flowers of the heavenly realm, Sanskrit means red flower in the heavenly realm.
According to legend, the flowers on the other side are flowers that bloom on the Huangquan Road, which looks like a carpet paved with blood, and its red is like fire and is known as the road of fire. The only scenery on the Yellow Spring Road, people step on the guidance of this flower to the Nine Hells. It is a flower with a strong supernatural atmosphere and a blood-like color, and is considered an ominous plant.
But its beauty is undeniable, especially in the countryside, where they can often be seen, adding a touch of color to the barren mountain plains.
Wildflowers bloom in the north wind, no one loves each other, no one pities each other, not afraid of stigma and nonsense, and the flowers bloom like fairies.
Zhang Feng feels that the flower on the other side is considered dead and ominous, what does it have to do with it, it is the image given to it by others, and it is imposed on it by others, Zhang Feng feels that the lycoris flower is simple, although it is not as high-end as Manshu Sawa and the other side flower, but it is also quiet and natural, and it is not polluted with the ups and downs in the world.
Then the old lady continued to explain to everyone the wild flowers in the yard, including the beautiful golden chrysanthemum, the wild lily standing proudly, and the inconspicuous clover with broken flowers, all kinds of wild flowers, competing to bloom, colorful purple and red, decorating this simple farm yard with incomparable beauty.
