Chapter 439: When the Passion Is Drifting Most (Part I)

Huineng listened to Liang Yaofu's talk about the ancients, and he was fascinated by it, and he didn't even notice that Liang Yulian was standing behind him at some point.

"Fu Bo's talk about the old boy is so wonderful, he deserves to be the gold medal 'talking about the ancient king'!" A crisp and familiar voice interrupted Liang Yaofu's talk about ancient topics.

Huineng turned his head and saw that it was Liang Yulian and another young woman standing behind him.

It turned out that Liang Yulian got up at dawn today, and after some careful grooming and dressing, she looked for Huineng to watch the Songkran Festival with a happy mood.

Liang Yulian came out of the thatched hut a little lost and returned to the village entrance to meet Osmanthus.

"Sister Lian, there is a Songkran Festival in Luodong today, shall we go and see it?" Osmanthus was worried that she couldn't find a companion, and when she saw Liang Yulian, a flower in the village, she sent her an invitation.

"Okay!" Liang Yulian originally wanted to go to the Songkran Festival today, and also hoped to meet Huineng on the road, so she readily agreed.

Along the way, Osmanthus saw Liang Yulian looking around as she walked, looking left and right, as if she had something on her mind, so she asked her: "Sister Lian, what are you looking at?" ”

"I didn't ...... Nope! I...... I'm looking at ...... What about the scenery on the mountain......" Liang Yulian said squeaked.

They followed the mountain road with nine curves and eighteen bends, and finally came to the Chanlong Gorge at the northern foot of Tianlu Mountain in Luodong, only to see Mingjing Lake, where there were crowds of people, rolling red dust, red men and green women, some holding wooden shells, some holding water guns, making noise, splashing water......

In the rolling red dust, Liang Yulian found that a person who seemed to be Huineng passed by her, and disappeared into the flow of people in a flash......

This situation and this scene can't help but remind Liang Yulian of the Buddhist saying "500 times looking back in the past life in exchange for a passing shoulder in this life".

Liang Yulian relied on her feelings and finally found Huineng at the drift of Zenlong Canyon.

……

"Sister Lian, you're here too!" Hui Neng said as he took out a few yellow buds from his pocket and gave them them.

"It's so sweet!" Liang Yulian introduced to the osmanthus while eating, "This is Brother Aneng, she is the osmanthus in our village." ”

Osmanthus turned to Huineng: "Brother Aneng, it's rare that today's Songkran Festival is so lively, let's go rafting together, okay?" ”

Huineng looked at Liang Yaofu, "Later, Yaofubo and I will go to pick mountain herbs." Hui Neng looked very daunted.

Liang Yaofu said with a smile: "Ah Neng, you don't have to be afraid, it's rare that today is the Songkran Festival, you and Ah Lian and Ah Hua go rafting." ”

"Brother Yaofu, so you're here!" Everyone followed the sound and saw a middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, panting and walking to Liang Yaofu's side.

Liang Yaofu just wanted to introduce him to Huineng and they knew each other, but the middle-aged man saw that there were many people here and it was inconvenient to talk, so he pulled Liang Yaofu aside and whispered something to Liang Yaofu.

Liang Yaofu hurriedly came back to say goodbye to Huineng and them, and left with the middle-aged man.

After seeing Liang Yaofu leave, Huineng looked at Liang Yulian a little embarrassed, "Sister Alian, after all, I am an outsider, participate in rafting...... It's not very convenient. ”

Liang Yulian hurriedly said, "Brother Aneng, how can you have such concerns?!" The people here are hospitable, so you can rest assured. ”

"I'm a layman when I play rafting, if I'm swept away by a waterfall, you have to save me!" Hui Neng smiled at the two of them.

Liang Yulian and Osmanthus solemnly: "Brother Aneng, rest assured, we are drifting here, and every bamboo raft has a raft worker to handle the raft, which is very safe." ”

"Haha! I thought it was like what Yao Fubo said, like the eight immortals playing drifting - each taking care of himself! In fact, Huineng knows that the most exciting and pleasant thing about going out is rafting. In the days when Huineng and Xiaoshanzi were collecting firewood in the mountains with Henglingang outside Guangzhou, they had been to the Feishui River in the south of the Yangtze River several times, and experienced the thrilling rafting of the "first drift in the south of the Yangtze River" that shuttled with the ups and downs of the waves.

Osmanthus didn't know that Hui could tease them, and introduced it seriously: "The bamboo raft is made of several bamboos, about two meters wide and nine meters long, and the front end is bent on stilts like a raft with a long bamboo wormwood raft in the bow. There are a few bamboo chairs on the bamboo raft...... "Osmanthus has not finished speaking, at this time, I only heard the crowd surging under the canyon, like a human dragon rushing up."

"Rafting begins!" Liang Yulian, Osmanthus and Huineng boarded a bamboo raft. The raft worker pushed the long bamboo pole hard, and the bamboo raft began to move slowly down the stream......

Huineng thought: drifting here, there is a unique taste, there is no shelter around, how you like to see, what you like to see. Looking up, I saw that the sky was clear, there was no smoke and dust, and a few white clouds drifted slowly, like a kaleidoscope that changed inexplicably from time to time.

Looking down, the stream is murmuring, clear and shiny, like a blue-green satin, stretching out in the river, without seeing the head and tail. The stream flows horizontally and steadily, and only when the wind blows, does it appear with minimal scale-like ripples. Occasionally, subtle waves and a few sprays can be seen.

According to the raft worker, it was caused by the drop in the stream. In the water, sometimes you can see clumps of aquatic plants, where there are aquatic plants growing, there are always several fish chasing and playing, the fish see the bamboo raft coming, they will open their mouths around the bamboo raft and wag their tails, as if they are begging for food from visitors. Only then did Huineng understand that there were so many people selling fish food on the Jiangnan wharf at that time, but unfortunately he thought that they were only buying it to make money, so he had to say sorry to the fish in his heart. The fish seemed to understand him, and soon swam away in groups.

The best thing to see is the beautiful scenery on both sides of the rafting river. The high and steep cliffs are mostly overgrown with plants that cannot be named, such as light green, yellow-green, tender green, dark green, and old green...... It is so green that it drips green and oily, narrow-leafed, small-leafed, broad-leafed, and coniferous...... The leaves are full of spring. From time to time, clumps of blooming red azaleas show a sweet smile, like clusters of flames burning. Occasionally, you can see clumps of phoenix tail bamboo, arms swaying and applauding to welcome guests. In some places, it is bare rock, but there are many ancient and modern cliff stones carved on it, and the font is thick and simple, giving people a sense of history. On some stone walls, there are natural caves, and many people have given names with both form and spirit according to their shape, such as Jinji Cave and so on. In individual caves, the "hanging coffins" of the ancients are still slightly exposed. Near the stream wall, many strange-shaped pictographic stones are also very eye-catching, such as the Confucian scarf stone shaped like a turban, the strange and exquisite seal stone, the flat and smooth mirror platform, the frog stone that looks like a frog raising its head, etc., which are vivid. Look at the high place again, on the top of the mountain cliff, there are a lot of peaks created by nature's ghostly axes, the shapes are different, the majestic and majestic, people according to their gods, their shapes, have given them the appropriate and poetic names, such as the king peak that looks like the king of the mountain, the lion peak that looks like a lion, the jade girl peak that shows like a beautiful woman, the three peaks that the neck has to be raised again and again to see the oblique blue sky, etc.

Soon, Huineng's interest came up, and the fun became stronger. Looking at the beautiful scenery on all sides, listening to the raft worker's explanation, his hand couldn't help but stretch out to the stream to play in the water, and he forgot his identity for a while, like an innocent child, and carried away the water droplets on his hands to Liang Yulian and osmanthus.

Liang Yulian saw that Huineng had changed her normal behavior today, and she looked very naïve and cute, and coquettishly indulged in sprinkling water with Huineng as a consultant......

At some point, Osmanthus picked up a bamboo shell from under the seat of the bamboo raft and threw a bag of water at Huineng. Seeing this, Liang Yulian snatched the bamboo shell in the osmanthus hand, splashed a bag of water on Huineng, and poured Huineng into a chicken soup, and they hugged each other with laughter.

The raft worker looked enviously at Huineng: "Hou Shengzi, you are going to have great luck this year." ”

After the raft worker finished speaking, he started to "walk in the middle of the small bamboo row stream, walk on both sides of the towering green mountains......"

The bamboo raft flows slowly along the drifting river, and the pebbles with the large bowl mouth of the exposed water surface are spread out next to the riverbed, shining silver luster in the sunlight, as if the amorous species left by the gods outside the sky, witnessing every exquisite place in the nine-song eighteen bays of Zenlong Gorge. Riding on the bamboo raft, listening to the raft workers explain the beautiful scenery on both sides of the strait, the bamboo raft floats in the painting, melts into the reflection of the green mountains, and becomes the brightest finishing touch on the ink painting.

"** Deep and deep, how many heroes and heroes are drunk". The raft worker said jokingly, "The double breast peak can only be seen, not touched, and not moved, so that the country can be safe." ”

Huineng, Yulian, and Osmanthus followed the direction of the raft worker's words and really saw the vivid image of the double breast peak, two pretty small peaks were raised, and it really looked like a beautiful jade peak, and then after the raft worker's prompt, they couldn't help laughing.
