Section 3 Waiting for you once a year
After waiting for her once a year, the flowers finally bloomed. Walk past her and smile all day. This is a message from my companion Jin Ling after I uploaded a photo of a beam of flowers and white cuckoo plums. She said that it was a limerick poem borrowed from an old tree. I really don't know who the old tree is, but I liked these poems after seeing them, and they couldn't be more appropriate for today's mountain climbing!
The white juan plum (also called white silk plum) on the land beam of Fengyu Mountain in the Qinling Mountains, since I knew and saw it three years ago, every time the spring flowers bloom, I look forward to the flowers full of beams. In fact, from the first time I knew that there was a whole beam of white cuckoo plum on the land beam, I knew that the peak flowering period was the second week after the Qingming Festival. This is the absolute experience of mountain climbers, and the two years of viewing also confirm the relative accuracy. However, I couldn't do it as calmly as the fancy travelers who told me the news: just wait for the second week.
Since the end of March, I haven't been going anywhere since I climbed the mountain, and I have been going to the land beam every week. Every time I go, I feel urgent, and I am also full of anticipation and imagination. I always think that nature is nature, how can I say that it must be the second week? Moreover, at this time of year, the weather is always hot and cold, and it is capricious. Therefore, it feels like the white cuckoo plum must have opened in advance.
In fact, I have almost witnessed the white plum from gestation to curtain call. A month ago, when I saw the whole beam of white cuckoo plums, full of fine broken rice grains like ears of grain, I would smile comfortably and sigh softly: Great, I can see it again this year.
Because, when I didn't see this budding bud, I was naïve and always worried about whether it would bloom this year. After that, I went every week. The week before, I saw that the buds had a look, and the 'plum' meaning of the white juan plum as the name suggests, and the buds were tightly wrapped in carmine and became 'little plum beans'. Last week, I went back in a hurry, and saw from a distance that the spring color of the long earth beams was already green and white, and the white cuckoo plum blossom buds were shining in the green.
On the two-kilometer-long mountain top beam, the dense white cuckoo plum forest branches have become big beads and small beads embellished, the pearls round and jade have become a white jade cocoon, the purple red has bloomed into two small feathers to set off the white big silk cocoon, white and chubby, handsome and lovely, I like it very much!
At this time, the beams were full of white cuckoo plum buds hanging like pearls, and I began to get excited when I looked at the many jade cocoon babies who had cracked their small mouths. At this time, I felt that Bai Juan Mei was like a girl with spring, covering her mouth excitedly and holding back a smile, as if whispering: Soon, soon, that date is coming......
Yes, it's coming, it's coming, I've been waiting for a year, and that date must be coming soon!
It's finally the second week after Qingming. Every day of the week, I think of the silk buds on the beam, which have opened slightly, and I smile sweetly when I think about it. It's also this week, and I'll pay special attention to the weather forecast. Because, last year, when the white plum blossoms finally bloomed, a week of heavy rain kneaded the flowers into silk.
The fears came again, and the week was the same as last year: it rained incessantly.
On Friday night, when discussing the climb of the mountain tomorrow, his companion Jin Ling said, "Let's go, this rain will also stop." So, we set to go on Sunday.
That's what I thought in my heart. If you don't go on Sunday, if you want to see the whole beam bloom, you will stay for another year. Even if it rains tomorrow, I can't see the white silk plum blooming under the blue sky and white clouds, and the white silk feathers bloom into the branches like a 'juan' bird, and I want to share the sea of white silk plum flowers!
Therefore, I repeat last year's WeChat: If it doesn't rain tomorrow, I will definitely go to see the white juanmei!
I am writing this today, which is intended to tell the travelers who made an appointment to enjoy the white cuckoo plum two weeks ago. Sure enough, those who wanted to go immediately echoed. It is conceivable that the rain that began to fall on Friday night is torturing us who love white juanmei.
I didn't sleep well on the night I was looking forward to. There were two companions who were traveling together who did not sleep well. They didn't seem to have slept better than I did, because they said in unison, "Oh, it rained all night last night......
I, I didn't hear the rain. Ha ha.
In the morning, at the appointed time, Jin Ling called and asked if he would still go. I looked out the window at the rain and said, "Wait another hour." My phone's real-time weather forecast shows that the rain will stop at 10 o'clock.
Before an hour had passed, she called again and said that her family would not allow her to go up the mountain, saying that it had rained overnight and was not safe.
I smiled and agreed. But what I thought in my heart was that this week must be before Wednesday, find a time to visit the land beam, and I must share the flowers of that beam. Haha, it turned out that our upstairs companion Bean Traveler actually thought the same: It's still raining today, so I want to come and see it on Wednesday......
Haha, it can be seen that we who love mountains and flowers are the same kind of items.
I couldn't climb the mountain, so I went to the new campus to finish what I had to do today. It stopped raining just after the third ring road, and when I arrived at the new campus, I looked up and saw that the Qinling Mountains were clear and graceful, and I was excited. Once again, I realized that climbing a mountain is addictive. However, when I set off just now, I didn't wear any other mountaineering equipment except for a jacket, so I couldn't go up the mountain in this dress. I suddenly regretted that when I set off, why didn't I prepare with both hands? I had to take a photo of the Qinling Mountains and post it to the circle of friends, like having a good time.
I had been working upstairs for less than 5 minutes, and when I looked up and saw that Nanshan was already cloudy, I couldn't hold it anymore. At this time, I saw Jin Ling and said, "You went alone?" and Dou's companion said, "You went up the mountain?"
Haha, it seems that they read the WeChat I just sent and mistakenly thought that I had gone to the mountain. Their words ignited my passion for mountain climbing. I said to my bean companions: Then let's go together. I don't have any equipment, so you can help me bring me some trekking poles.
Then tell Jin Ling to set off quickly. Haha, make me happy.
At eleven o'clock, we gathered at the school gate, looking at Jin Ling, who was driving with pride, and we laughed! The laughter was that since Jin Ling said on Friday that she would drive me to pick me up and climb the mountain together, I began to worry about her driving skills. She said, "Don't be afraid, I've been to Weinan before." "The more she said that, the more worried I became. So, when I saw her in front of us in a small SUV car, I smiled and bent over. When I sat in the back seat with my companion Dou, Jin Ling turned his head and said, "You come to sit in the front, what are you afraid of?"
Haha, I'm not worried about her driving skills when I'm sitting in the back at this time, but I don't think it's appropriate to let my bean companion who doesn't know Jin Ling sit in the back alone. And Jin Ling has been climbing the mountain together for more than three years, and we have been to many places together, so we are already very familiar with it.
Laughing all the way to the gate of the Pure Industry Temple, there is no vacancy in the parking lot. At that time, I thought that they were all mountain climbers, but later I learned that today was the first day of the lunar calendar, and most of them went to the Pure Industry Temple to burn incense. At this moment, the two contrasts and the result is the same: we are the same piety.
It was twelve o'clock in the afternoon, and we started to go up the mountain. Therefore, in order to be in a hurry, we almost ran up this part of the road of the Pure Industry Temple. It took me to get to the temple faster than usual, and after replenishing the hot water, I began to march again. Fortunately, the sandy mountain road that had just rained was much easier than usual. The mountain forest with tender green and new leaves, the air is fresh after the rain, and it has become a natural big oxygen bar. Walking through it, you feel refreshed. We walked around the flowers, looked at the distant mountains and the near view of the opposite side, and walked straight to the farmhouse of the Wat Pho with almost no rest.
All three of us set off in a hurry, so we had to eat noodles at the farmhouse. This was the first time I had eaten this noodle restaurant, and we were all full when we went down. Jin Ling said that the noodles were too thick. Ha ha......
During the meal, I met a female practitioner who was staying at a farmhouse, and I didn't know whether to call her a nun or something else. The moment she opened the door with heavy makeup, she surprised several of us women. When she came up and down the Wat Pho Temple, we saw that she was so ordinary. Once again, I couldn't control my urge to talk to her. At this point, I really have no future, and I already know her general situation from the words of the owner of the farmhouse, so I resisted. But when she stood in the courtyard and walked around the crowd like a performer, I still had a few words with her. The biggest mistake was that I was in a hurry to leave, and she didn't stop. Tell her that he will take some time to meet her again at her thatched hut in the east ditch below. However, I regretted it after saying that.
The interlude ends, and the advance towards the land beam begins. Climb over the top of Wat Pho and the sun disappears. Jin Ling was here for the first time, and she didn't know when she would see the white cuckoo plum blossoms full of beams. I saw a few green leaves and white flowers scattered in the ravine opposite from a distance, and I said it was beautiful. And the bean traveler and I couldn't hold it back, and walked quickly to the beam.
Turning to the road leading to the land beam, I saw that the white cuckoo plum blossoms on both sides of the narrow mountain path were fully opened. The petals of a tree are tightly wrapped in rain, and the flower spikes are all downward, without the white silk petals in the sun, opening upwards and resembling a bird. That's it, I couldn't help but laugh and shout with a friendship with the bean donkey: It's open, the white cuckoo plum is in full bloom.
Jin Ling shouted: Ah, this is the white juanmei, so much, so beautiful.
My friend and I glanced at each other and walked forward quickly. Turning the hillside, we came to the Land Beam.
On the long beam in the field of vision, a beam of flowers blooms, a beam is white, and a beam of fragrant white cuckoo plum is presented in front of you. The three of us excitedly shouted in unison: It's beautiful!
Dou Traveler and Jin Ling both saw the sea of flowers on the beam for the first time. And I'm the third time. But I was still as shocked by the blooming beam as I had seen it for the first time! I was so excited that I bent down and said, "It's so beautiful!" After waiting for a year, I saw a beam full of white cuckoo plums!
Jin Ling said happily: "There are so many white cuckoo plums, it's just a sea of flowers!
Yes, a real sea of flowers. We were in a sea of flowers, and the bean traveler smiled and said, "I want to jump again! After speaking, he jumped up with a smile as bright as a flower. The reason she said 'I want to jump again' is because we jumped on this beam once three weeks ago. That happy jump, a beautiful cloud in the sky, made us happily jump back to childhood. Today, she was infected by the holy flowers all over the mountain, and she jumped again with joy. Looking at her excited and innocent appearance, it seems to see herself in the mirror. I thought: The reason why we are all concerned about the white cuckoo plum on this beam is because we have the same simplicity!
Today's white cuckoo plum blossoms are at their best. Each petal is large and white, white with a satin luster, very holy and beautiful. The bunches of white cuckoo plum buds that are about to bloom are hung with crystal water droplets, which makes the flowers even more beautiful. It was also discovered today that there were two types of white cuckoos on the beam, one of which was pink, so there was a layer of reddish reflection in the white flowers. The stamens of the other flower are yellow-green, and the white of the flowers has a faint green color. It's so beautiful! Both kinds of flowers, both are the most beautiful.
It's just that the flowers contain too much rain to keep their heads up. We thought that by the time we returned, the rain should have dried up. However, we were so lucky. Just over 10 minutes later, the sun came out and the sky was blue!
There is a spot on the beam that passes through the side of a long hillside. From the top of the mountain to the side of the road, the white cuckoo plum blossoms into a dense flower wall, which is very beautiful. When we pass by the holy flower wall, we suddenly feel romantic and happy. Therefore, I said: "Li Shimin, the king of Tang back then, must have walked happily here with his beloved concubine like us." Two companions: "That's for sure!" Ha ha.....
Our laughter circled a beam in the sea of flowers!
When we walked to a white cuckoo plum tree that was relatively dumb, we saw a tree blooming, and we were happy to exclaim: It's so beautiful!
This white cuckoo plum tree without rain is so beautiful. White cuckoo plum just the right petals bud a tree. The petals are large and open upwards like white feathers. The buds are white, large and round, and the top of the petals resembles a bird's phoenix crown. The white cuckoo plum trees are like birds on the branches, facing the bright spring light and facing the blue sky, blooming to the fullest!
At this time, the sun is very hot at noon. When the temperature rises, more and more flowers raise their heads, more and more petals stretch out, and they bloom into a tree full of holy smiling faces, and the flowers and birds that bloom out of the whole beam dance, and even more so that the beam becomes a sea of fragrant flowers! The fragrance of the white cuckoo plum is originally a light and elegant fragrance. When the flowers come together into the sea, the fragrance becomes a refreshing fragrance. Mixed with the smell of sunshine, this fragrance becomes the most attractive mellow fragrance!
Accompanied by the pleasant aroma, we happily swam from the sea of flowers to the hill on the beam, which is also the end of the white cuckoo plum grove on the beam. It has become a mountain of flowers, blooming like a flower crown. Stand here, neither high nor low above our heads. Oh, it's clear that God has put together a holy wreath for us. This is God's greatest reward for us!
Wade through Little Flower Mountain. As for this, we have shared the most beautiful flowers of the white cuckoo plum on the land beam this season. Therefore, today is very happy and content.
Originally, it was very satisfying to enjoy the flowers, but when I returned to the sea of flowers, it was the icing on the cake, and it became very complete and wonderful. The beauty came from the fact that when we turned back on the beam, suddenly a large beautiful cloud floated in the sky. At this time, the sky is very blue, the clouds are low, and the white cuckoo plum is accompanied. I stood on a beam, among the flowers and clouds......
At this moment, my land beam has become the most beautiful beam!
After waiting for her once a year, the flowers finally bloomed. Walk past her and smile all day. "Thank you for this poem by the old tree. Aptly expressed my mood today! Thanks to my land beam, it always makes me smile on the beam.
'Enjoying the white cuckoo plum on the land beam once a year has become a mood!' This is what the flower traveler said. I'm even more so. Therefore, I will come again next week to watch the gorgeous curtain call of the white cuckoo plum, and share the petals flying and the petal rain. Say goodbye happily and meet in the coming year.
Haha, today is destined to be a good day!. was a proud and happy descent from the mountain, but it ushered in an unexpected surprise.
When we descended to the vicinity of Wat Pho, we thought of meeting the practitioner in the morning who lived in the luxurious thatched hut in the east ditch below. So, full of curiosity, we decided to go down the mountain from the ditch and explore it.
Unexpectedly, just as we were about to get out of the ditch, a fork in the road appeared. The bean traveler led us to continue down the ditch. I thought it was to the right. Actually, I didn't know which way to go at all. We had just gone a few meters when we turned back to see a black animal on the road below, standing and looking at us. I pointed out to them curiously, and thought to myself, what kind of animal is this? Is it a sheep? Then another one appeared, and the two stood together. I cried out: Wild boar!
With my scream, the two wild boars squealed, rushed away, and disappeared in an instant!
It was so fast, so fast that the three of us didn't feel scared. The bean traveler said: It seems that they are afraid of people, and you screamed, so scared that they ran away.
I laughed and thought about it, and I felt very lucky. If we had just walked down that road, we would have been facing a wild boar directly. What is more important is that there are three of us today, so we are not afraid except for surprise. What if I'm alone?
Jin Ling said: It doesn't matter, now is not their estrus period......
Huh? haha.....
We burst out laughing! What a great day!
At sunset, sitting in the car, I saw the big and red sun that was about to set, dyeing the sky red, very beautiful. Descending with the sunset is my wish to rise on the beam of the earth these two times. I just said on the beam, "I would love to see the sunset on the beam of the land and then go down the mountain in the afterglow." "I didn't expect God to hear my heart and let me see it on the road out of the mountain in front of the Pure Industry Temple.
Thank God, you know that watching the sunset from the beam is unattainable for me, it was too late and it was not safe to go down.
Thank God, I'm your darling! I haven't said that in a long time!haha.......
Life is so beautiful!
