64.Sunday Counseling (8)

The clear weather, lush forests, fire-fired roads hovering over the peaks, and leisurely people form a beautiful scenery on the western mountains in late autumn. The red leaves of the West Mountain are not the feng shui of the south of the Yangtze River, but the leaves of a small tree, like a small transparent feather fan in the sun, the distance looks like a fiery red, walk to the front, there is a kind of agility, trembling in the breeze, if you look at the sun, the leaf veins are distinct, the long petioles, connected is an oval leaf, the kind of red, more soft, transparent.

Along the winding mountain road, you will see a piece of red leaves, a piece of dried wild chrysanthemum, full of dense forest, just like a freehand painting, splashing ink of nature, it seems so calm. These red leaves and wild chrysanthemums, distributed in every ravine, but also distributed on every hillside, dotted with stars, red and yellow complement each other, freehand between the dense forests of the mountains, there is a natural beauty.

The stretching west mountain, one layer taller than the other, becomes the barrier on the west side of the capital. Standing on the top of the West Mountain, you will see this forest park so transparently. If you stand on the top of the mountain and look at it, the north side is the more towering Jundu Mountain, the west side is the Taihang Mountain, and to the east, the chessboard room of Beijing City will meet your eyes, and the south side is the great plain of Pingchuan.

Xishan is a gentle mountain range, she connects the Taihang Mountain, nestled in the Yongding River, the mother river of Beijing, under the blue sky and white clouds, is the nearest forest from the city of Beijing, compared with the noisy city, here is a quieter paradise, people can enjoy the pure nature, cultivate their sentiments, express their feelings, enjoy the beautiful scenery here. This is the indispensable ecological barrier of Beijing, which undoubtedly increases the ecological carrying capacity of Beijing, so that people can have a quiet land to enjoy nature in the busy urban life.

People who have been accustomed to urban life come here in their leisure time, greedily breathing the fresh air here, enjoying the warm sunshine of spring and autumn, admiring the red leaves one by one, and with the breeze blowing, the fragrance of chamomile is really refreshing. Look at the sky, the sky is high and the clouds are light, the wild geese returning to the south fly in rows, the white birds cry in the dense forest, the fire road jumps out of the forest from time to time one after another small squirrels, the fragrance of Ganye chrysanthemum invites the wind and butterflies to dance, this continuous mountains, the ancient buildings hidden in the dense forest, and the carved beams and columns that appear and disappear together with the pine and cypress, the heavy eaves of the bucket arches, tell the story of the ancient legend of the West Mountain, and it is the implication of our national culture.

Qingfeng and Mr. Jiang had already joined them on the top of the West Mountain, and under the watchtower where a forest ranger lived, they began their rich picnic. Together with the three families, they sat around the table provided by the rangers, eating prepared simple food of various flavors, drinking mineral water, enjoying the beautiful scenery of late autumn, and having a pleasant conversation, and the warm atmosphere has reached a climax.

The rangers, an elderly couple in their 70s, were very welcoming, not only providing them with boiling water, but also picking a lot of tomatoes and cucumbers they had grown in the mountains, washing them and placing them on their tables. The old mother of the forest ranger also brought out the boiled eggs they ate themselves.

The life on the top of the mountain is indeed very monotonous, in the face of this group of lively tourists, the two old people are even more cordial, just like entertaining their relatives, doing their best to help them, and also really touched the three families, Qingfeng and Teacher Jiang, and the forest ranger couple talked.

Qingfeng, "Old man, your hometown is not from Beijing, right?" ”

Forest ranger, "We are from Guizhou, we have been here for more than 20 years, we have been guarding the forest on this mountain, and the children have grown up, including two of my children in Beijing, and they will come up to see us when they have time." ”

Dong Chunjiao, "Grandpa, aren't you lonely when you live on this mountaintop all year round?" ”

Forest ranger, "We also live in the mountains in our hometown, and life here is much better than in our hometown, what do we want, what is lonely?" And there are a lot of tourists here, especially in this season, there are more people than usual who go up the mountain to see the autumn leaves, like you, some people will have a picnic here with us, and our old couple chatting about family life, it is really good, the two of us feel very comfortable living here. ”

Wang Wenli, "Grandpa, are you on such a high mountain, guarding this watchtower all year round, and often going down the mountain?" ”

Forest rangers, "I have been living here for more than 20 years, just like my own home, all kinds of daily necessities forest farm will send people to us, the leaders of the forest farm often come to see us, especially for the New Year, they are also on duty for fire prevention, every year to accompany us to eat Chinese New Year's Eve, more diligent than my son to see me, just like relatives, so we are also very happy to live here, much better than the hard days in our hometown." ”

Professor Dong, "You two old people, you are so old, and you are still here to guard the forest, although I see that your body is very tough, but after all, you are old, do you want to go home and live your own life?" ”

Forest ranger, "Don't look at the two of us are almost 70 years old, when we were in our hometown, we have done all kinds of work, we have the strength to look at this Liaowang Tower here, grow some vegetables when we have nothing to do, and raise some chickens, and live in such a good scenery, just like the days of the gods." It's a lie to say that we don't want to go home, but we already think of this place as our own home, and if we do leave, we really can't leave here. We want to live here for a while longer, after all, we have two children who work in the city and can see them often. I think that back then, we used our Weibo income to provide for them to go to university in Beijing, and they were already working, and the lives of the two of us didn't have to be so stressful, so one more day of work in this mountain, one more day of being a fairy, why not? ”

Qingfeng, "Old man, speaking of which, we are still fellow villagers, I am also a child from the mountains of Guizhou, and I am very kind to see you." In our hometown, there are mountains everywhere, all our farm work is carried out around the mountains, of course, your life here is much better than your hometown, here provides you with such good living conditions, the two of you are in such good health, you have a job, you can enjoy such a beautiful scenery, breathe fresh air, your body will get better and better, not to mention that you have been working here for more than 20 years, and the relationship here is already very deep, you must not be able to give up. ”

Forest ranger, "I love to listen to the child's words, we are the same townspeople, you know the conditions of our hometown are the clearest, we work here, in fact, we are enjoying life, although now the two of us are a little older, but the body is still very good, do what you can, it's better than staying." Maybe we'll be able to enjoy life while we work, and we'll live a few more years than we can when we go home. ”

Professor Dong Jianjun, "What your old man said is the truth, we farmers are born to pay attention to affordability, in such a natural environment, life and work are pleasant, there is no pressure itself, and it is not as lively as young people, here, while working and enjoying life, itself is the blessing of your old couple." ”

Forest ranger, "In recent years, since the forest park was opened to the public, we have become much more lively here. We just came for more than ten years, the forest farm has not built a forest park, all year round we are the old couple opposite, in addition to the leaders of the forest farm to see us, that is, every week there will be a car to send emergency maintenance, no longer see anyone else, at that time I did feel a little lonely, whenever the New Year is a little homesick, two children who go to school in Beijing City, they will come to us for the New Year and the festival to get together with us, so there is no regret. But well, after the opening of the forest park, more and more people go up the mountain, especially now when the autumn leaves are open, and more people come to the west mountain. ”

Teacher Jiang, "Old man, is there more people at this time, or more people in spring?" ”

Forest ranger, "When there are many people, spring is almost the same as now, and many people go up the mountain every day, especially in the spring when the flowers are in full bloom and the autumn leaves are in season." In spring, it turns out that people are in the scenic spots under the mountain, either they are looking at the peony garden, or they are looking at the peony garden, there is a grass valley in the ravine there, and the people in summer are slowly increasing, because the dense forest on the top of the mountain is a good place for vacation, not only the forest is dense, it can shade, and the valley is particularly windy, and the dog days here are cool breezes, and many people have come here to escape the heat. In the autumn season, of course, the main thing is to see the autumn leaves, and some people come from the Xiangshan side, and after walking from there, the scenery is completely different from the park, which makes them even more relaxed. Even in winter, many people go up the mountain, especially when it snows, and many young people come here with cameras on their backs to take pictures of the snow. ”

Yang Jiajia, "Grandpa, will there be a lot of people taking photos and painting on the mountain?" ”

Ranger, "We're here to entertain the most people who are engaged in art." Some people will come to live with us at night in order to shoot the sunrise, and then they will get up early in the morning, set up their cameras on the mountain, and have been busy all morning. There are also those students from art academies who come out to sketch, they carry sketchpads on their backs on this mountain, find a viewing platform, and paint for a day, and some people have to paint for days in a row, and seeing their intoxicated appearance really makes us very envious. Our old couple is begging for a living, there is no culture, and receiving these cultural people is also a kind of enjoyment for our old couple. ”
