Chapter 5: The Boat Goes Ashore

"Further on?" Ji An looked at Jiang Zhou and asked with his eyes.

Jiang Zhou was still immersed in his thoughts, and when he received Ji An's eyes, he raised his feet and followed Ji An almost without any hesitation.

This inexplicable sense of trust made Jiang Zhou panic.

When did her body become so uncontrollable?

After turning a corner, I found that I had reached the halfway point of the mountain, and there was no fence on the side, only a few fir trees blocking it.

From this angle, you can overlook the entire Yishan Village, with dense houses and staggered bluestone roads, surrounded by clouds and mist, it seems that the bell and drum tower standing in Yishan Village is solemn and quiet, but it is also in vain. I can vaguely see a bridge in the distance. In addition to the village, there are large terraced rice fields, alternating between blue and green, neatly attached to the mountainside, full of life.

It's exactly the same as the one my mother painted.

When she followed her mother to Yishan, at that time, her mother carried painting tools on her back and led her with one hand.

The wind that crossed the mountain lifted my mother's long soft hair.

She is a highly gifted art student.

It was at that time that he met the little brother who gave him candy, and he was very patient with his young self and even said a lot. Although many years have passed, although she has almost forgotten everything when she was a child, she still remembers the words of that brother.

"See that bridge?"

"Hmm."

"That's the Wind and Rain Bridge. We'll go in the afternoon. ”

After Ji An finished speaking, he continued to walk up, his legs were straight, and the muscles of his thighs could be vaguely seen.

Jiang Zhou looked at his back and stopped.

Ji An seemed to sense that the woman behind him did not follow, and turned his head to look at her.

"Don't you keep going?" The scenery on the mountain is unique.

"You say, there's a lot of undead buried on it."

Ji An paused, "Scared? ”

Jiang Zhou looked directly at his dark eyes, sinking like the fog on the sea.

"If my heart is not sincere, I dare not go up the mountain."

……

Leaving the main mountain, Ji An took Jiang Zhou to the terraced fields that he could see on the mountain.

Looking at it up close is not the same feeling as it is from a distance, Jiang Zhou has never seen the terraced fields so closely, there are vegetables and grains.

If you listen and sniff carefully, you can smell them, the earthy smell of earth, water, dust, and the unique smell of grains.

The enthusiastic villagers greeted Ji An when they saw him.

"You're a pretty woman."

Although it was mixed with dialects, Jiang Zhou still understood, her eyes were playful, and she looked at Ji An.

"She's a tourist here, and I'm taking her around these days."

"Oh, that's right. Yishan is a good place, and the men here are strong. ”

Jiang Zhou smiled, of course she knew that the men here were strong. However, how strong Ji An is, we still have to wait for her to pass the test to know.

Along the way, Jiang Zhou felt a little hot, so he took off his jacket.

It is still a V-neck.

Bai Huahua's chest shook so much that people's eyes hurt.

Ji An led her down the terraces, returned to the car, and went to the village for a meeting.

The scenery around him flashed quickly, and he also took off his coat, with a clear texture.

The men here are strong.

I thought of this sentence again.

"I don't think my 600 dollars are worth it." Jiang Zhou looked ahead and said, "The main mountain and the terraced fields don't need admission money." ”

Ji An concentrated on driving and ignored her.

"You say, should I be compensated for something? Let me spend these six hundred dollars worthwhile. Jiang Zhou leaned his head over and pressed it to his powerful right arm, and his chest was squeezed because of this movement, revealing a furrow. She said in a very low, hoarse voice, "Meat, how is it?" ”

Jiang Zhou waited for Ji An's unceremonious refusal, but what he didn't expect was that he was also low and dumb, and said four words,

"As you wish."

……

After Ji An finished saying that it was as you wished, Jiang Zhou lost his interest in playing.

She was only interested in him now.

What bell and drum tower, wind and rain bridge, she doesn't want to see it, and she doesn't want to pursue any past.

I just want to be rubbed into my body by him.

Climb the 60 steps and turn to the drum tower in Yishan Village.

Under the old and clumsy carved eaves, a dilapidated drum is displayed here, with a vermilion bracket behind it, and the drum surface has been yellowed, covered with earth, stains, and moss-like things.

Standing on the drum tower, you can see the bell tower opposite, which is exactly the same carving and style, but what is hanging is a bronze bell.

A bell tower and a drum tower are not far apart, facing each other in pairs.

Their missions are different. When the bell rings, it is the beginning of the day. The drums are the end of the day.

A bell tower and a drum tower are not far apart, facing each other in pairs.

But it spanned day and night.

"In the beginning, Ah Ying's Abba was from the bell tower of Yishan, but then in an accident, he injured his leg and was taken over by another younger young man. Later, the young man left, and he was replaced. ”

In just over ten years, three bell tower people have been replaced.

Jiang Zhou went to see Ji An, but found that his eyes drifted to the wind and rain bridge in the distance.

……

Jiang Zhou sat at the table, looked at the chicken soup brought by Aunt Feng in front of him, hatefully sandwiched a chicken leg, peeled the skin, ate the meat, bit the bones, and scolded, "Ji An, I'll fuck your mother." ”

Ji An sat opposite, leisurely drinking chicken soup.

Of course, I didn't forget to add, "This is a free-range chicken, which is usually carefully raised." The meat is tender and only needs a little salt and ginger and shallots to cook, and it has the ultimate taste. With this meat, six hundred pieces are worth it. ”

In addition, there is a table of dishes, including fish, shrimp, chicken, and freshly picked vegetables grown in the field.

There are so many dishes, no red meat, and a lot of river fresh and white meat, all of which she likes to eat.

Jiang Zhou picks very much, the red meat made into vegetables, she only eats beef, pork, chopped into stuffing to make wontons, she can accept. Like braised pork, braised pork ribs, she doesn't like to eat them.

"Dare to love Aunt Feng's house is a one-stop service?"

Breakfast was contracted, lunch was contracted, and even the chestnuts she liked to eat were contracted.

I must have come here for dinner.

As soon as she was thinking about the chestnuts, A-Ying really came, "Miss Jiang, I heard Brother Yingguang say that you found Brother An to be your tour guide." ”

"Oh, isn't it, but I still found a black-hearted director." With that, a knife-like look shot at someone who was drinking soup freely.

A-Ying was dumbfounded: "Huh? With a sigh, obviously outside the situation, I don't understand the turbulence of the dark tide between the two of them.

However, she still took a step forward, took out a bag of chestnuts, and handed it to Jiang Zhou.

"Yesterday I saw that you liked to eat chestnuts, so today I brought you another bag." Ah Ying said shyly, "Grandma said that you asked Brother An to pay her a lot of food, and you must let me entertain Miss Jiang well." ”

Meal?

It turned out that Ji An gave the tour guide fee she gave to Aunt Feng.

Without explaining, how would she know?

Awkward weird old man.

Jiang Zhou took the chestnut, "Thank you, just call me Jiang Zhou." "Miss Jiang, Miss Jiang, listen to it.

A-Ying shyly hummed.

Jiang Zhou was surprised, is the girl in Yishan so easy to be shy?

She has the illusion that she is A-Ying's little lover.

"A-Ying, how old are you this year?" Jiang Zhou asked,

"Twenty years old." A-Ying replied.

Oh, no wonder, 20 years old, the age of falling in love.

When she's 20 years old, she's also shy.

Aunt Feng came out of the kitchen and enthusiastically brought another dish.

It is milky white and cake-shaped, and there are petals on it.

"It's a sweet cake, and it's a specialty of Yishan. Grandma is very good at making sweets. A-Ying introduced.

Jiang Zhou was not polite and ate a piece.

It's really delicious, why didn't she say that there were sweet cakes earlier, she wouldn't eat so many dishes.

Ji An sat and casually observed Jiang Zhou's expression.

She ate the sweet cake, her rosy lips were stained with the petals on the cake, and her eyes were sparkling, but she frowned.

A-Ying apparently noticed this as well, "Isn't it delicious?" ”

"No, it's delicious, it's just that I'm too full."

This is true, in the morning, because of stomach bloating, I didn't eat much, and then because of anger, I turned my anger into appetite, and I suddenly had a big appetite.

When she left, she was still in love with the two sweet cakes.

Walk to the Wind and Rain Bridge.

The wind and rain bridge is a characteristic of the local ethnic group. Where this ethnic group lives, there will be wind and rain bridges.

The wind and rain bridge is composed of bridges, towers and pavilions, all of which are made of wood, the bridge deck is paved, railings and benches are set on both sides, and the roof of the bridge is covered with tiles to form a corridor-like walkway. Tower, pavilion built on the stone bridge pier, there are many layers, the eaves are warped, and there are decorations such as treasure gourd on the top. [Excerpt from Baidu Encyclopedia: Wind and Rain Bridge]

Except for the stone pier, all are wooden structures, without a nail and an iron, and are all mosaic by mortise and tenon. [Excerpt from Baidu Encyclopedia: Wind and Rain Bridge]

Standing on the bridge of wind and rain, there is no wind and rain.

Jiang Zhou and Ji An leaned against the bridge railing, the two of them did not speak, and each looked into the distance.

A small fresh-keeping bag was carried in front of Jiang Zhou's eyes.

"What is this?" Jiang Zhou took it suspiciously and looked at it carefully.

Sweet cakes.

It was the two pieces that Jiang Zhou wanted to eat but didn't eat.

Why didn't she notice that he was still carrying a bag in his hand?

"Pleasing me?" Jiang Zhou took the fresh-keeping bag, kneaded the mouth of the bag into thin strips, pinched the thin strips, and threw them in circles.

The movements are smooth, pursed lips, but the smile is smug and even smug.

"Nothing to be courteous, not a traitor." That is, thief, these two words, she didn't say.

Jiang Zhou is used to Ji An's lukewarm appearance, obviously soft in his heart, why does he look so hard?

Like a stubborn donkey.

Under the wind and rain bridge, the lake is sparkling, and there is a small wooden boat driving on the lake.

"The ship is going to come ashore." Jiang Zhou suddenly said thoughtlessly.

The boat under the bridge is leisurely, where there is a meaning to dock.

I suddenly remembered that conversation.

Jiang Zhou. Boats in the river.

Season Shore. The season of the four seasons, the bank of the river.

After a conscious pause, Ji An turned to leave.

"Let's go."

"The ship is going ashore!" Jiang Zhou said loudly, towards his back, "Even if it's a smuggling party, you have to go up." ”

I am a fluttering boat in the thousands of rivers, and you are a distant riverbank.

The boat is going to go ashore. Even if it's a smuggler, you have to go up.
