It takes more than an hour to drive from the city to the covered bridge, and people keep getting off the bus along the way, and by the time they get off, there is no one on the bus.

Because one more station is the final stop. That's a mining area, a mining area where rocks are mined. Behind the mining area are the mountains, the mountains are secluded, I don't know where to go, the eyes are send, the return is gone, and the smoke is a line of time.

The mountain road will also become rugged and steep, it is really the so-called 'Shu road is difficult, it is difficult to go to the blue sky', since ancient times, it has been chanted and sung by countless poets.

Although it is not as famous as those well-known scenic spots, but the mountains are also deep pools and flying gargles, the plants and trees are beautiful, the strange stones are rare, and the gathering is natural.

When he was about to reach the covered bridge, the driver looked at the pair of old men and women sitting behind him with a stern face, as if he didn't understand where they were going. What are you doing here in a sparsely populated place on a cold day?

It doesn't look like it's going into the mountains to visit the families of the mining workers, because this mining area was closed half a year ago, saying that it polluted the environment and damaged the mountain, and was ordered to close down.

Originally, this bus could have been left out of this place, but because there are still some mountain people in the mountains who rely on this road to get in and out, this bus has not been suspended.

But basically, very few people will sit so far away, let alone such a pair of old people, are they preparing to go into the mountains to visit relatives?

When they got off the car at the covered bridge, the driver was even more strange, and that inexplicable look made Yuan Mei feel a little awkward.

The driver looked like he was okay anyway, and he was not in a hurry to leave, so he casually accosted: You two old, what are you doing here?

Yuan Mei hid her face in the collar of the cotton coat, so as not to feel embarrassed, she didn't answer, pretended not to hear, and got out of the car directly.

Chen Ke got out of the car later, and when he heard him ask, he said, "Oh, something."

The driver obviously didn't believe it, but people like to take care of it or not, and it's not easy to ask. After watching the two of them walk far away, he shook his head with a sly smile, stepped on the accelerator, and left.

Yuan Mei walked all the way, and then complained: The driver must have laughed at us just now.

Chen Ke followed a few steps and said: What are the jokes? What's the joke about? It used to be inhabited here, and it wasn't a wilderness**.

Yuan Mei glanced at it and said, "You are really interesting."

Chen Ke said: If you come, you will be happy. In fact, there are a few places here that are still a bit interesting. I'm familiar with this place, and I came here many times when I was a kid.

The road here is empty, there is no shelter, and the wind is naturally even more bitter. Yuan Mei couldn't help but tighten her shirt and said: Why did you come here so often when you were a child?

Chen Ke said: My grandmother and they used to live here, and then there was an earthquake, do you remember?

Yuan Mei said; Remember. It turns out that your grandmother lives here.

Chen Ke said: Yes, I lived here for a while when I was a child, so I am very familiar with this place.

Yuan Mei asked again: What about your grandmother?

Chen Ke said: I have already moved into the city, where the rocks have slipped and blocked the road in the village.

Yuan Mei nodded and said, "Yes, I've heard about this for a long time."

There was a gurgling sound of running water in the distance, and Chen Ke suddenly became ** and said: Did you hear it? The sound of flowing water? It's almost there, just ahead.

As he spoke, the road took a turn, and a rushing stream appeared in front of him, and a bridge jumped into view, almost instantaneously. At that moment, the surprise and accident that suddenly bumped into it, the sudden feeling did make Yuan Mei's heart flutter, and her mood suddenly changed.

Unexpectedly, what came into my eyes was a beautiful river, a beautiful bridge, and a beautiful pavilion.

It's not a masterpiece of craftsmanship, it's even crude, but it all comes together to give people only one feeling: self-evident beauty.

The bridge is built of bamboo, the rainbow generally lies on the river, the river water splashes jade, the bridge body is stable and secure, quietly across, it looks very simple, but the simple charm, and the tacit sense of integration with the river, make you feel as if this is a natural creation, not artificial.

The river is very fast, but the river is not wide, so it is actually a very small bridge, and when you look closer, it still has a delicate feeling. Because the age is a little old, the sense of vicissitudes that has been soaked by rain or river water for a long time is exactly where the beauty lies.

The shallow river beach is covered with gravel, stepping on the creaking gravel, close to the riverbed, you will feel the water vapor rushing to your face, and the smell of the mud bed at the bottom of the river that is swept up by the water vapor, in this cold early winter, you feel even more cold and biting.

When they got closer, Yuan Mei and Chen Ke couldn't help but be forced back a few steps by this coldness, and retreated to a higher place on the upper side of the riverbank.

Chen Ke didn't know when he grabbed Yuan Mei's arm, and the two walked side by side on the covered bridge. The mist may be thicker in the early morning, although the sun is already shining at this time, but after all, it is the early winter sun, the strength is not strong, until now the bridge has not been dried, the bridge is wet everywhere, slippery, where people do not often walk, has long grown sticky and green moss.

The green mountains in the distance are like daisies, ** weaving yarn, shadows and shadows, feeling that the sky is high and the mountains are far away, which makes people feel refreshed.

It's a little colder, but it feels very refreshing. So Yuan Mei, like Chen Ke, is also very interested.

The two of them slid one foot and one foot walked steadily onto the bamboo bridge, if it weren't for each other's support, Yuan Mei almost slipped a foot.

Chen Ke kept reminding: Be careful, slow down, and beware of slipping. I'm old, but I can't slip.

Yuan Mei's heart was hot, she glanced at him warmly, and said softly: You should be careful yourself.

The two walked on the bamboo bridge next to each other, walked into the small pavilion, leaned on the somewhat trembling bamboo railing, and looked at the direction of the river, which was a long waterway with no end in sight, all the way to the Yangtze River.

This life is like this surging water, at the head of the river and at the end of the river, where is there room to turn back? This past year, the good days are beautiful, but life is imaginary.

Yuan Mei suddenly became very emotional, not only leaning on Chen Ke's shoulder, but also sighed leisurely and said: I didn't expect this to be a really good place. I haven't been out of the city for a long time, and I really forgot that I am still a Sichuanese, and I grew up watching the green mountains and beautiful rivers since I was a child, but I forgot all the beautiful scenery of this hometown. I'm glad you offered to come out for a walk.

Chen Ke teased and said: Didn't you just go out of the city once?

Yuan Mei knew that he was talking about the time when she went to the magic capital, and when she thought about it, she was full of unhappiness, so she belched and said: How can it be said that it is out of the city? But from one city to another. I'm not used to life there at all, and I have to take a car to get in and out. The road is full of people, all houses, all cars. However, it is so crowded but it makes you feel that there is actually no one around you, so lonely.

Chen Ke's eyes became very distant, as if he followed the river to an unknown place, and said angrily: Yes, when I was young, I would have felt this way when I went to work elsewhere. But won't your son be with you?

Yuan Mei was even more frustrated, and said: He is now the leader of a company, what is he busy with, where can he accompany me, every time I go to him, I am still alone all day long. Even if you cook well, you can't wait for him to come back and eat together.

Chen Ke smiled and said: Your son is now in the entrepreneurial period and is busy. Your son is a big guy too, and you should be proud.

Yuan Mei said: Where is a big man, he is just the vice president of a company. Just because I knew he was busy, I didn't say anything, anyway, I stayed for a few days, and I was so aggrieved that I came back. It's better to have your own home.

Chen Ke smiled implicitly and said: Yes, it looks like it's better than his hometown. Nowhere can it be. You don't know, my dreams are all the mountains and rivers of my hometown, and they are unforgettable.
