.

Fan Xiang and Xiao Yan two people support this leaf raft, in the middle of Yishui to the northeast against the water, the sound of the water murmuring, gradually drifting away, the valley gradually far behind, the natural harmony between the mountains and fields along the coast is also more and more blurred, turn a bay, pass through a pass, then enter the main road of Tiaoshui, go west along the water, and then turn back, the verdant Gonggu and Yishui are finally invisible.

In the twilight, the fog grew thicker and thicker, and it became more and more smoky.

The sails were full, and the two sat side by side on the bamboo raft, the wind whistling in their ears.

On the lonely and magical land on both sides of the water, the forests are flourishing, the cliffs are craggy, the distant mountains and green spaces, and under the natural and simple surface, there is a rare magnificent and beautiful scene.

The lonely peaks and peaks on both sides of the river, at this time, are also gradually hidden in the heavy twilight, in the thousands of mountains, the long smoke and sunset, the green mountains are like daisies, the color is simple, primitive but just right, staggered and far behind, occasionally you can hear the cries of the mountain apes one after another, the cries are like complaints; among the mountains and wilderness, the white Han bird and the red eagle bird that return late from time to time fly quickly from the sail, babbling and screaming, flying away, it is the elf in the smoke and green; and in the surging westward flowing water, there may also be silverfish jumping out of the water, flapping the wings like a bird, the sound is like the song of a mandarin duck, rowing across the water, flashing with a silvery white and strange light, which is in line with this lonely temperament and the scene。

Contrasting with the soothing water surface of the water, the twilight of ink is also the color of the soul in the depths of this thousand mountains, lonely and clear, not showy, but exquisite.

The two sat on the bamboo raft, letting the bamboo raft go west on the turbulent river, feeling the vicissitudes of the cliffs on both sides, as if returning to the ancient time.

The vicissitudes of the years, I don't know how many years have passed, and the five thousand miles of water not only have the magnificence and ruggedness of the western mountains, but also show the lonely and clear temperament of the ancient secret realm.

The silverfish leaping on the surface of the water, fluttering, more and more, Xiao Yan looked at the jumping silverfish, looked up at the sky, and said softly: "This is not good, it seems that there will be heavy rain later." ”

"Oh,...... Probably not, I see that this twilight is clear, how can there be rain?" Fan Xiang looked up at the sky in the twilight, a little puzzled.

"Well, you don't know, we here, as long as these silverfish gather more and more on the surface of the water, it is a sign of big water. We have a proverb here, which says, 'Yingyu, the body of the fish and the wings of the bird, the sound is like a mandarin duck, and when you see it, it is a big water', so this is the case in the section of the Tiaoshui River here. As he spoke, he looked a little uneasy, and he couldn't help but lean closer to Fanxiang.

Xiao Yan slightly smelled the manly breath on Fanxiang beside him, his face was hot, and he was speechless.

Fan sat beside the girl, only to feel a wisp of elegant fragrance from her, sweet fragrance is indescribable, want her to be beautiful, unscrupulous when talking and laughing, innocent and careless, defenseless to himself, he has always been good friends with Nalan, and Wan Hao is like a brother and sister, so he has never been so close to the third woman, smelling the slight sweet fragrance on the girl's body, and there is a sense of trance for a while. Just as he was thinking about himself, he suddenly felt the wind on the river tight, and he was shocked, and he couldn't help but sit down a little away when he thought of the defense of etiquette.

After walking for a while, I suddenly heard a thunderbolt in the air, a lightning bolt crossed, and when I looked up, I saw that the dark clouds had covered half of the sky. Between the mountains and mountains, the showers come as soon as they say, and when they go for a while, the wind is tighter. Immediately afterward, several lightning bolts flashed with golden light, followed by a rumbling thunder, and a torrential rain was about to fall. At a glance, the lofty mountains on both sides of the waterfront are hazy in the rain.

"How is this good?" Fan Xiang stood up, put his hand on the pergola, and searched all the way, there were no houses in the mountains along the coast to shelter from the rain.

"Brother Fanxiang, don't worry, I remember that when I sailed here before, I vaguely remembered that there was an island in the middle of the river not far ahead, and there was a river temple on it. As he spoke, Xiao Yan also stood up, the five fingers of his right hand were bluffed, and he held a white oil-paper umbrella in his hand, stretched it out, handed it over, and the two stood under the umbrella to avoid the rain.

"Good. Fan Xiang stretched out his hand and held the umbrella, trying to cover Xiaoyan under the umbrella and no longer speak.

The two stood side by side under the umbrella, quietly looking at the water, and were speechless for a while. Thunder and lightning in the air, the rain was like soybeans, falling on the water, splashing fist-sized splashes, a small umbrella could not be completely covered, Xiao Yan couldn't help but move closer to Fan Xiang.

Fanxiang set up a pergola and searched all the way.

After half a pillar of incense, I faintly saw that in the twilight of the rain, in the middle of the river in front, a steep mountain cut the water from it, so he held a penny, saw that the island was near, and propped the bamboo raft to the shore. The current here is turbulent, so Fan Xiang jumped on the shore first, slowly dragged the bamboo raft to the gentle water, docked, found a reef on the shore, and firmly tied the bamboo raft.

The two of them came ashore, searched for their way, and went deep into the island, which was not very large, and soon came to the middle of the island. I saw that between the shadows of the trees, a corner of the gray eaves was faintly exposed, and then I walked closer, and I saw a small flat land, on which there were several houses, and the shadows of the trees around were longing. When I got closer, I looked carefully at the afterglow of lightning, and it turned out to be a dilapidated and small temple. The two of them fell in front of the temple gate, and in the residual light, they saw that the broken plaque on the door was written with five big characters of "Tiaoshui Goddess Temple", and the mud and gold peeled off, and there should have been no incense for a long time.

With a "squeak", Fanxiang stepped forward and pushed open the temple door, not caring about taking a closer look, and letting Xiao Yan go in first. At this time, the electric light flashed in the air, Jiao Lei one after another, Xiao Yan entered the temple brake first, stood behind the door, but no longer stepped into the hall half a step, turned around, just looked at Fanxiang, silent, covered his ears, squinted his eyes, and his face was full of fear.

Fan Xiang then entered the gate, and in the darkness, Xiao Yan couldn't help but hold Fan Xiang's arm tightly, and behind him, he tiptoed into the hall.

This temple is not wide, it is divided into front and back halls, and a large gate is opened in the middle. By the residual light of lightning, it can be vaguely seen that there is a clay sculpture of a mountain god standing on the left and right walls of the front hall, all of which are torn clothes and armor, the mountain god on the left is holding a half-cut whip in his right hand, and his eyebrows are angry; There is a tall clay sculpture in the middle of the main hall behind, but it is not clear in the dark. Fan Xiang took a look at it casually, and it fell in an instant, and there were already some miscanthus grass growing on the ground, and there were scattered tree branches that blow in every day, desolate and lonely, and there was no human figure, so he said: "I'll go find a cleaner ground, and I'll sit down first." He plucked some miscanthus grass, cleaned half of the space in the open space of the front hall, found some stumps and leaves, broke them, took out the broken knife, shook it, lit it with the blue flame, made a bonfire, and said, "This rain will not last long, and we will go when the rain stops." ”

Xiao Yan said "um" in the dark and stopped talking.

The two were talking and laughing all the way, but since they sheltered from the rain under the umbrella and went on a blind date, Xiao Yan felt a little strange in his heart, and at this time, looking at Fanxiang, he couldn't help but feel a little shy and a little ashamed.

Xiao Yan and Fan Xiang sat quietly by the bonfire, looking at the telescopic flickering flames, they were silent. Suddenly, Xiao Yan turned his head, his eyes met Fanxiang, smiled slightly, and hurriedly turned his head away.

Nothing to say for a long time.

Only the firewood flames burned, swallowed, and swayed .......

After a while, Fanxiang turned his head to look, in the bright flamelight, he saw that Xiaoyan's body was slightly plump, and his skirt was already wet, so that his chest was protruding, which was very indecent, so he stood up and took off his shirt, handed it to Xiaoyan, and said, "Your shirt is already wet, you ...... It's cold, isn't it?"

"Well, it's not cold. Xiao Yan blushed his cheeks, hurriedly took his coat and draped it on his body.

"Oh,...... Hehe......" Fanxiang smiled inexplicably.

Xiao Yan heard it, looked back and said, "What are you laughing at?...... You're a bad person, huh, a bully,...... Ignore you. ”

Fan Xiang hurriedly shook her head and said: "I, I didn't mean to, who knew that this rain would come as soon as it was said, and it actually drenched the girl and drenched it into soup...... , uh-huh, drenched clothes. For a while, he was slurred, and he didn't know how to express it, so he couldn't speak.

Xiao Yan's face turned red, and he said, "What are you talking nonsense? He couldn't help but laugh.

"This, this, this ......" Fan Xiang Na Na said, very regretful in his heart, secretly thinking that the lonely man and widow are in this broken moment, and there must be no frivolity between words, so he straightened his face and was speechless for a while.

There was a lot of silence between the two, and the air was ambiguous.

The temple seemed to have not been repaired for a long time, and the water leaked and fell to the ground, ticking and ticking.

After a while, Fan Xiang took the lead in breaking the silence, diverted the topic, and asked: "I am fortunate to meet the girl today, I don't know where the girl's family lives, can the girl see the girl?"

Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel slightly strange when he heard his tone suddenly turn solemn, glanced at him, suddenly smiled, and said, "Well, you are also a soup chicken, and you also say people." I've said it, I'll ignore you. ...... Hmph, I won't tell you where my home is. "It's all a look of innocence.

Subsequently, the two of them said a word, the embarrassment gradually disappeared, the two sat side by side, and chatted about the things of the South and the South China for a few days, and there was no more crab and crab state. The heavy rain outside is always more than once, but it is getting heavier and heavier, the rain converges into a stream of water before and after the temple brake, rumbling sound, but only hovering between the slopes of the island, as if blocked by an invisible thick wall, and then pouring down to a karst cave at the slope, booming, like a big tide. At this time, the sky is dark, the sound of rain is gone, and the mountains and fields outside are as black as ink, and you can't see the edge at a glance.

Fan Xiang went to the window and found some scattered window lattice partitions, threw them into the fire, and said with a smile: "People are the ancient Buddha of the green lantern, so let's be the god of the firewood volcano." ”

The red fire on the ground was reflected on Xiao Yan's face as beautiful as white jade, making it more delicate and incoherent. She grew up in the court of the Dazhai patriarch since she was a child, and she was accompanied by maids and servants every day, and nurses took care of her, but she always frolicked among the girls, and never sat side by side with a young man. This time, because of her greed for the spring of April, she secretly left Dazhai and came to her own paradise to have fun, but now she is sitting on the ground with a young man who is about the same age as herself, talking to each other, talking and laughing freely, and her heart can't help but have a strange taste that is both sweet and shy.

She turned her head to look at Fan Xiang adding firewood to the fire, in the blazing firelight, Fan Xiang's nose was straight and straight, her eyes were like bright stars, her eyebrows flew straight into her temples like a sword, and her slightly thin face was clearly contoured, clear and handsome, and she couldn't help but be stunned for a while.

When I was strolling with the fawn, I suddenly heard a somewhat tired and hoarse voice, which came from the back wall, "The two distinguished guests are here, it is really not well contacted, it's just that there are many incidents in the humble house, and the two distinguished guests are asked to leave quickly." ”
