Ling Xi listened, looked at the two of them, grinned, and said, "Brother Qi, Sister Yan, I don't know what kind of life you want? I don't know how to be happier?...... But I wondered, like me, that for more than a year, my grandfather and I had come to the woods by the Rouge River, and lived a peaceful and happy life. Our yard is planted with flowers and fruit trees at four o'clock, melons, fruits and vegetables grow verdant and lovely, surrounded by high mountains, forests and sea mist rising, Xinyi flowers bloom all over the mountains and fields in spring, peach trees are still shaking pink buds in summer, there is the fragrance of golden rice millet in autumn, and there is a night talk around the fireplace in winter. ”

Ling Xi held a peach blossom in his hand, with a shallow smile in his eyes, looking at the thick shade under the green peach tree in front of him, with a faint mist in the rain and dew, such as emerald green spring hair, the reflection of blue water in the sky, the whirlpool on the surface of the river, with a bubbling tail note, drifting along the stream.

A chuckle appeared on her immature countenance, her long eyelashes flickered slightly, and she murmured: " I remember that the first day my grandfather and I lived in the woods by the Rouge River was April, and there were only a few abandoned thatched huts in the forest, neither plastered nor decorated with doors, and the walls were made of logs that had been eroded by the wind and rain. My grandfather slept next door and he was always there for me. ......”

Ling Xi looked up at Ji Ji Qiu and Yan Ni Shang, and saw that they were all listening to her quietly, so he smiled slightly and continued: "Especially in the early morning, through the cracks in the walls, you can hear the chirping of birds, and the flowers outside the house are also full of dew, and the grass will glow with a fresh fragrance, which is relaxing and pleasant. As far as I can imagine, the room retains the atmosphere of the early morning throughout the day. At that time, I had not yet come out of the grief of losing my family, after coming here, I gradually became happy, although later my grandfather built the current big yard, but I still like the old hut, not plastered, very clean, well ventilated, the early morning wind blows through my house, intermittently, emitting a quiet tone, like a few fluttering fairy music falling from the sky, it is very suitable for a wandering fairy like Brother Ji Qiu to live temporarily, or a beautiful fairy like Sister Yan may also wish to live here,...... It is suitable for couples who live like gods. ”

Hearing this, Yan Nishang and Ji Ji couldn't help but glance at each other, Yan Nishang's face turned red, and the two turned their heads away, but they didn't speak.

Seeing that the two of them did not speak, but listened quietly, Ling Xi continued: "Later, we had a unique yard and hut, as well as a small boat, and my grandfather would often take me to the Rouge River and go boating in the meantime. Although the cottage is a little basic, it has a warm atmosphere that surrounds me and is very close to my heart. I became happy and happy, so I started to settle here with my grandfather, and I had this home-like place to live. We live next to the birds, we are accompanied by mountain flowers, we go to the fields to grow vegetables and breathe fresh air. I often sit under the eaves, I like to look at the vegetables and flowers in the yard, and I can also look at the Rouge River and the peach blossom trees in the distance, as if I am in it, and they are the closest, the weather is cloudy or sunny, full of wild interest, and it feels no different, they are all the same. The birds, such as the thrush, the thrush, the robin, the red dog, the field finch, the nightingale, the red-lipped finch, and many other birds, as well as the mountain flowers, the peach blossoms, and the green vegetables, including us, are free. ”

"Later, Grandpa brought back some survivors of the war, and we started to get here

It became lively, and gradually became a small village outside the world, where everyone settled here, and life was improved, like a peaceful world. ”

Speaking of this, Ling Xi suddenly smiled, looked at Ji Ji Qiu and Yan Ni Shang, and said softly: "Brother Ji Qiu, Sister Yan, our villagers here like to gather on the barn in the hot summer to cool off, and then sing a serenade, or I'll sing this little song to you, okay?"

"Of course it's okay, little sister Lingxi, you sing, let's listen!" said Yan Nishang with a smile, gently removing a fallen leaf from Lingxi's left shoulder.

"Well, I'll sing it to you. Ling Xi said, smiled slightly, cleared his throat, and sang softly:

The smoke is slowly rising

Call to the robin, who came home late

Warm smoke curls, your light feathers

Quietly,

Yunyan hovering,

A voice letter, built under the eaves,

That's your home!

Lost dreams, elf-like

The figure in the dream, dragging your long dress,

The moon casts a veil of fog over the night,

But the sun gives light to every day.

Go, light your incense,

At that moment, it swirled up from the sandalwood.

Reckless in the night,

Remember the sparkling fire.

......。

The song is soft and beautiful, fluttering in the wind blowing through the river valley, and the sun pours down its white and brilliant light, jumping on the swaying peach branches and reed leaves, and casting their shadows obliquely onto the turquoise waves of the Rouge River. On both sides of the river, peach trees, green bamboos, and reeds are thick, and in the depths of the grass, there are hares, pheasants, and birds from time to time.

Above the rolling blue waves of the Rouge River, on the open water surface, a long bridge is erected, like a rainbow. The river bay is shallow, the aquatic plants are abundant, the ripples are moving, it is the water ducks, white geese and other waterfowl that the villagers of Rouge Village are free-stocking, and there are several village girls washing clothes by the river, next to it are more than a dozen children naked, swimming like fish, playing in the water, the scenery is beautiful and peaceful, quiet and charming.

More than a dozen villagers drove small boats, shouting in the rippling rouge river, casting nets and trawling nets from time to time.

On the wide water, the turbulent blue waves, and the narrow wooden boats, the villagers either stood on the side of the boat with their feet, threw out their fishing nets, or held the oars to shake the boat, and roared loudly. The three of them stood on the riverbank, looking at the river from a distance, those people from other places have experienced the pain of war, but they are still strong and alive, their posture is strong and upright, their movements are light and coherent, and their expressions are cheerful and comfortable.

Under the peach blossom tree, on the rouge river, the clear water and clear waves, the distant mountains are picturesque, and the vastness is endless. The rippling boats, children playing in the water, pink peach blossoms, turbulent clear water, wooden houses and thatched houses, cooking smoke and sunshine, etc., will build this place into a paradise where adults and nature live together.

Yan Nishang felt something, looking at the mountains and rivers in front of him, the mountain is a famous Taoist mountain, and the distant mountains are filled with a strong Taoist cultural atmosphere, and the river under the mountain is very quiet, the climate is cool, the air is fresh, and I thought silently in my heart: Yes, the real delicacy is to let life have a taste even if you are poor.

She raised her hand and brushed a strand of white hair next to her face behind her ear, and couldn't help but say softly: "The living environment can be simple, but life is not!"

Looking at the beautiful scenery in front of me, I also yearn for a few hatreds

, said: "Living under the peach blossoms is like knowing the taste of food." If, with a person who knows each other, the end of the old age here, eat the taste of fireworks in the world, there is the boiling of the back kitchen, there is also the noise of the front hall, there is no war and killing, only one person enjoys the landscape, day after day, look at your verdant wrists, the petals of peach blossoms, into the basket; ”

As he spoke, he couldn't help but reach over and gently shake the hand of the flame dress.

Yan Nisheng's face turned red, her body trembled slightly, but her hand was allowed to be held by him.

When Ling Xi saw it, he hurriedly turned his head away, a little shy, and said softly: "Brother Ji, Sister Yan, eh, I like this kind of food, clothing, housing and transportation, leisurely and freehand fun, peach blossom garden-like lifestyle, farming and pastoral or something, I also like it." ......”

When he heard this, he suddenly realized, and hurriedly let go of the hand holding the flame dress, smiled, and said: "There is a cloud in "Zhou Yi's Resignation": "Things are mixed, so it is said to be a text". I have longed for this kind of life since I was a child, in the countryside, but there is no lack of exquisiteness, and the glitz and glamour of the natural division of a not far and not close boundary, ignore the disturbances, not vulgar and charming, but also not indulge in the extravagance of dogs and horses, in this mountain pastoral life, a pot of tea, a wine, a soup, if you occasionally appreciate the elegant landscape, that is the whole day of the spirit of the clear. ”

"Yes, if it can be so, in the early morning and dusk of every day, lingering in the simple and simple every day, blowing the clouds and seeing the sun, there is no luxury, but there is elegance, this is not a unique aesthetics of life. Watching the peach blossoms flying, appreciating the gathering of floating clouds, tasting the fragrance of melons, vegetables and rice, spending time like turning a book, and a little bit of heart are the true taste of the world!"

Hearing this, he laughed, raised the wine gourd, took a big sip of Meimei, and said: "This kind of life is not so much a picturesque picture as a farming pastoral, but an ideal of goodness and virtue." Thousands of years of farming in the countryside have taught us to rely on our industrious hands to have enough food and clothing, so that this life is rich and steady, good and beautiful. In contrast, the kind of individuals and countries that are powerful by plundering the wealth of others are both filthy and ugly, such as the Beigong Heavenly Court and its servant army. This kind of idyllic is not only a simple way of life, but also a simple ideal, and this ideal is the common pursuit of many good people. ”

Speaking of this, his tone paused slightly, looking at the white clouds in the distant sky, and then, with a soft sigh, said, "...... Alas, let's go back, tomorrow Xiao Lingxi and Grandpa will have to leave here and go to Yecheng, thousands of miles away, to find her cousin Ran Jiannu. ”

"Let's go, Sister Lingxi, let's go home. Hearing this, Yan Nishang turned around, gently took Ling Xi's hand, and the three of them walked towards the village from the way they came.

Suddenly, several birds chirped in the air over the Rouge River, circled several times, and then, with a flap of their wings, flew towards them.

Yan Nishang looked intently, only to see a large black-bodied red-lipped bird in front of him, followed by a dozen white-winged and yellow-footed white birds shaped like pheasants, flapping their wings and flying towards them hurriedly.

When Yan Nishang saw this, she was shocked, and couldn't help but shout softly: "Big drunkard, it's not good!" Pointing to the dozen or so big birds flying towards them, her voice trembled slightly with some panic.

When she heard this, she was also shocked, and looked in the direction of her finger, and the dozen or so big birds were flying towards her in a hurry.
