"The Drifter" 57 - Once Upon a Time in Peach Blossom Town

Xiao Yang was reluctant to be a salesman, and just as Xiao Chen was leaving, Yu Yuanming asked her if she would like to be a secretary. Of course, she didn't understand what the job of an insurance company secretary was and what the job was. After Yu Yuanming explained, she agreed.

So, the second secretary, Xiao Yang, took up his post.

Xiao Yang, of course, is different from Xiao Chen.

Xiao Yang should be thirty years old, tall, wearing a striped sweater, with prominent breasts, and a plump waist and abdomen without being bloated. The two legs are quite long, and they walk in a swaying posture.

The most interesting thing is her lips, the lip shape is perfect, the lipstick is the kind of bright color, and a small mole at the corner of the mouth is not obvious and looks mischievous and amorous.

Yu Yuanming didn't know much about her, and thought that as long as she did her job well, she would be fine.

Unexpectedly, a small talk revealed some of Xiao Yang's background.

In the summer of 1994, Peach Blossom Town.

The reason why Peach Blossom Town is named Peach Blossom is because there is a large peach forest in Yunfeng Temple not far from the town, and the peach blossoms are in full bloom in spring, which is spectacular.

And a stream flowing down from the foothills of the distant Mingyue Mountain is naturally named Peach Blossom Creek.

When the Peach Blossom Creek enters the water surface of Peach Blossom Town, it becomes spacious, and the flow of water seems to slow down. The palm trees, bamboo groves, and rice paddies behind the palm trees and bamboo groves form a beautiful rural picture. Occasionally, a small boat rowed by, and it was Liao Er from the Wangjia River Ditch fishing. There are a lot of people who hate him, and it is a fisherman sitting under a palm tree and in a bamboo forest. Most of the fishermen are retired old men or No. 2 old men in their forties and fifties. Fishermen generally have a small bench (folded) and a satchel with a lot of stuff in it: cigarettes, lighters, insulated teacups, biscuits, bread, bait, umbrellas, etc. One or more rods stick out in a long way, and the buoy remains motionless on the water.

From the Wangjia River ditch to the Taohua Town, this section is called Qiliwan, this section of the water surface is also wide, the river channel is straight, the bamboo shadow is swaying, it looks beautiful. A local showman drew up a couplet, which is what he said here: two roads with peach blossom fragrance for seven miles, and three rows of willows with thousands of silks.

Two roads, peach blossoms, seven miles, are place names. The real name of the three rows is the three arches, which also refers to a local place that is somewhat famous. Qiansi, homophonic Chongqing's Qianguomen, is also a place name.

This couplet is interesting.

In front of Qiliwan is a stone arch bridge, which was built between 1965 and 1966 and is called Hongqi Bridge. Seven stone arch caves, also topped with stone piers, bridge decks, bridge railings. A line of big characters is also engraved on the bridge body and the railing of the bridge: Never forget the class struggle, never forget the *** thought.

Crossing the Hongqi Bridge, it belongs to the deepest place in the entire Peach Blossom Creek. There is also a name here: Yaojiatang.

To the east is a large bamboo forest and sandy beach. To the west is a long old street and old house, and on the shore is a long slate of stone, and three or five women are washing clothes and bedding on the shore. Not far away, children were playing, and a little farther away there was a rope in the tree, and at the other end of the rope was a cow with its head bowed and contemplative. The cow is quiet and just keeps slapping pesky mosquitoes with its tail and big ears.

Yaojiatang is said to be bottomless, how deep it is, Yu Yuanming has never seen it. It was the drought in 1986 that dried up the entire Taohua Creek, and the riverbed was exposed with silt and continuous stones, and Yaojiatang was still a pond. It's just a little smaller, but it doesn't see the bottom, and no one says that they have touched the silt at the bottom. At that time, in addition to catching fish in the mud, Yu Yuanming also fought with his eldest cousin and his eldest cousin's classmates. There is a folk saying: hook fishing delicious fish, net to catch passing fish, and fish when wrenching back. This is because the fishing net is made into the shape of a rice pot lid, which is put under the water in turn, and the upper corners are pulled by a curved bamboo pole. After ten minutes, the bamboo pole is pulled up like a tug-of-war, and the net is up. When the fish on its back, where did it know that it had inadvertently entered the net. That's why it's called back time!

Further in front of Yaojiatang is a dike, also made of stone. Exceptionally sturdy, I've never heard of a broken one in decades.

There is also a large stone dam about 50 meters long and 20 meters wide over the embankment. The stream crossed the embankment and flowed to the large stone dam, and then diverged towards the two important tanks, all the way down. Below is a 60-meter-high cliff!

Below the cliff is one of the attractions of Dragon City, Taoyuan Waterfall.

Looking at it from a distance, Taoyuan Waterfall is of course very beautiful, like a fairy world Bai Lian, and the momentum is magnificent. The miscellaneous trees and bushes on both sides surround the surging stream, which is even more vibrant.

The beautiful scenery is only for the senses of the visitor, and for those in distress, this waterfall is a dangerous situation.

Yu Yuanming's eldest uncle also lives in Peach Blossom Town, and he once rescued a half-grown child who was washed down by water under the waterfall.

It was Xianglin, the eldest son of the Li family. Xianglin's life is big, ordinary people will definitely die if they are washed off the cliff, and he can live thanks to two.

First, there is a pool of water underneath the sink where he was washed down. Secondly, he rushed down with the man and the ox, that is, he rode on the ox. The cow died, he just fell on his spleen. The eldest uncle, who was working below, saved him.

Instead, a person falls directly under another sink and cannot survive. Because under the other sink were several large stones of several hundred tons.

Generally in summer, many Longcheng people like to swim in Peach Blossom Creek. The place is wider than the pool and it is free. Who doesn't love to come?

It is said that since the young lady went swimming in the swimming pool in the city, some children have been tickled inexplicably.

I don't know whether the legend is true or not, and people don't dare to go to the pool.

It was a weekend, but there were very few people swimming in Peach Blossom Creek. Because of the heavy rain the other day, the weather was not very hot. Due to the heavy rain, the gate of the power station above was opened, and the water potential was relatively large, and the water was relatively turbid.

However, two men and two women came from Longcheng, dressed in fancy clothes, rented two tires, took off their clothes on the lawn on the shore, changed into swimming suits and pants, and began to play in the water.

Yes, playfulness is the right way to go. Swimming is just an excuse.

However, since I don't have enough clothes to wear when swimming, I have a special taste for the fun in this place.

These four people are not two teams of husbands and wives or boyfriends and girlfriends. Rather, it was two classmates and two young ladies.

Yu Yuanming actually saw a lot, many of the men and women who came here in pairs were not genuine couples. There was even an embarrassing incident where the husband told his wife to work overtime, and as a result, he brought his good friend to Taohuaxi and suddenly ran into his wife and partner head-on. Of course, the husband was angry and fought with his wife on the spot.

The wife is not to be outdone, after all, you also brought one. Why hit me?

Cheaper people watching the excitement next to it, watched a family ethics drama for free.

It's much more exciting than "I Love My Home"!
