Chapter 2 Murals

Jiuligou Village, a remote mountain village hidden by the verdant mountains and trees, is like a paradise next to the bustling city. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe ancient style still exists here, a picture of "the mountains are deep and people are unconscious, and they are still swimming in the painting".

Chen Hao and Qiao Qiao were Zhou Mo's classmates before going abroad, they both studied Chinese painting, and they were in the same class in junior high school, high school and college. The two had a secret affection for the first time they met, and they established a relationship early in a call against early love, and they got married as soon as they graduated from college, and soon had a beautiful daughter, named Yifan.

Perhaps because of studying art, they were not adapted to the fast-paced urban life, so when Yifan was four years old, the two quit their jobs and sold their houses, bought a few private houses in Jiuligou, and built an inn after simple renovation, named "Mountain Sitting", which was specially designed to entertain some tourists who came to live in the countryside in order to release the pressure of work.

When Cui Minghan and Zhou Mo arrived at Jiuligou Village, the rain had not stopped, and the hazy rain lined this small village in the mountains with a little more Jiangnan flavor.

As soon as the car stopped, Chen Hao and Qiao Qiao came out of the inn with Yifan to greet them. Zhou Mo got out of the car and hugged the necks of the two of them, "I miss death, I always say that I want to meet, but I always don't have time, you two are at ease, you are really idle clouds and wild cranes in this countryside." ”

"Auntie, you are a woman, Dad is a man, you can't hold him." A childish voice came from beneath him.

Zhou Mo temporarily let go of the two who were about to lose their breath by her, squatted down and looked at the white and tender little dot in front of her, she kneaded her curly hair even more, "Your father is not a man here in Auntie, I think I helped him beat people when he was bullied." ”

"Okay, don't affect my father's image of being tall and majestic in his daughter's heart." Chen Hao said and hugged Yifan, "Don't listen to this aunt, she likes to talk big the most." He suddenly spotted Cui Minghan, who had just gotten out of the car, so he raised his voice, "Who is this handsome guy?" I don't give us an introduction. ”

"He," Zhou Mo's tone instantly became serious, "He's my ......"

"Subordinate." Cui Minghan hurriedly picked up the words, "I'm here to accompany the leader to inspect today." ”

Qiao Qiao pulled Zhou Mo aside, and whispered in her ear, "I see that your complexion is much better than in previous years, is it because of this 'subordinate'?" ”

Zhou Mo shrugged his shoulders, "How can I be so lucky with you, I have known Chen Hao for so many years and still loved each other, this subordinate of mine still uses me as a hot potato, and I am afraid to avoid it." ”

"Love is the same, is that really the case?" Jojo muttered in a low voice, her face covered with a haze.

"Jojo, what did you say?" Zhou Mo didn't hear clearly.

"It's okay, let's go, I'll take you inside for a visit." She covered her thoughts with a smile and pulled Zhou Mo into the inn.

The "Mountain Sitting" maintains the original appearance of the farmhouse, but each room has been renovated, simple but clean, and daily necessities are readily available. There are large walnut trees, apricot trees, pear trees, and peach trees in the garden, and if you come in autumn, you can pick the fruit directly from it and eat it. And now, it is the flowering season, and the yard is full of fragrant flowers. There are vegetable melons planted on the wall, hanging down from top to bottom, which makes people greedy. There were several swings standing in the middle of the courtyard, and two or three guests were sitting on them and chatting about the sky. Outside the yard is a large field of golden rape flowers, and the flowers are overlapped in this patchwork of fields when the rain turns into smoke, making people forget their worries for a while.

"This inn is simply beautiful, you two are worthy of studying art, and you can decorate a farmhouse so literary. Director Cui, do you want to help them publicize it, the customer flow will definitely double. Zhou Mo poked Cui Minghan.

"Don't, we came to the countryside to enjoy the purity, but we didn't point to it to make money, if there are too many guests, I'm really afraid that I won't be able to receive it." Chen Hao hugged Yifan and brought them to the two suites that had been prepared a long time ago, "You two will clean up first, and then come out to eat in a while, all of which are authentic farm dishes, which are guaranteed to be more delicious than those in the city." ”

Sure enough, as Chen Hao said, although the dishes here are not as exquisite as those in the city hotel, they are better than the real materials and the taste is fresh, and even Cui Minghan, who has always been picky, couldn't help but eat two more bowls of rice. When he was full, he patted his stomach and walked around the yard, trying to digest the weight he might have gained as quickly as possible. Zhou Mo folded a peach blossom and walked in front of him, "Let's go to the mountain behind, I heard Qiao Qiao say that the mountain is full of peach trees, and now they are all blooming, so beautiful, and I will eat by the way." ”

"It's fine." He readily agreed to her invitation.

Since it was decided to go, the two of them did not delay any longer, one took a bottle of water and went out, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon, and they were afraid that they would not be able to find their way down the mountain when they came back late. The hill isn't too steep, but the road is muddy due to the recent rain, and it's a bit of a struggle to climb. Fortunately, the scenery on the mountain is really good, the pink peach blossoms are next to each other, crowded with branches, and the clusters of flowers are like burning clouds in the sky, which is amazingly beautiful.

It took them an hour to climb to the top of the mountain, Zhou Mo panted and crossed his waist, just about to take a breath, but heard Cui Minghan's surprised voice, "Zhou Mo, there is a wild temple here." ”

Zhou Mo looked in the direction he pointed, and sure enough, he saw a dilapidated ancient temple, which stood quietly among the flowers and trees, and was embraced by bluestone carved railings in front of it.

The two forgot their tiredness and unconsciously walked towards the ancient temple. When I got closer, I found that the temple was completely deserted, unattended, and there was no sign of repair, the temple was in danger of leaking, and the doors and windows were broken. The second floor of the temple has collapsed, and the temple gate is almost falling down, and it is difficult to enter the inner courtyard through the dead branches of the courtyard.

Zhou Mo and Cui Minghan walked into the courtyard and found that there was an ancient stage inside, and there were several lines of inscriptions on the stage, which probably meant to record a celebration here a hundred years ago. Cui Minghan looked at these lines, and couldn't help but admire, "You see that these words are written smoothly, and they are still very skilled." ”

Zhou Mo didn't answer, her gaze fell on the wall of the main hall. Cui Minghan walked into the main hall, and he saw that the walls were ancient paintings one after another, some of which were historical stories, some were myths and legends, and some were just trivial matters of ordinary people's lives. Each painting is delicate and lifelike.

"Mural." Zhou Mo was stunned for a long time before saying these two words from his mouth.
