21. Blind date conference?
The sunflowers at the door are more than a meter tall, and the dark green leaves are also stained with white catkins. As the bicycle passed, you could hear the rustle of the leaves as if they were saying goodbye or reluctantly. Lin Yilan looked back at the dark green light reflected on the leaves for a long time, until the corner of the wall at the turn blocked everything. She muttered softly to herself.
"The sun is accompanied by the wind; The stars are accompanied by street lamps; Sunflowers have sunshine to accompany ......"
Clusters of white catkins flutter in the wind, and a people bike drives into a picturesque and quiet scene.
The bike rises and falls smoothly on the dirt road, with few small dirt bumps. The dry wind slid from Xiang Hai's forehead to his slightly upturned eyes like petals, and mischievously lifted Lin Yilan's bangs, revealing the scar on her forehead that was the length of her little finger.
The women sat together in groups of three or five and did handiwork; The earthen dogs tethered to trees barked with their ears pricked up; Like a pencil drawing on a wire squatting in rows of chirping sparrows, the little sparrows staggered to their feet, or fluttered their wings, as the hot and dry wind blew in with choking dust from the opposite side. The big poplar trees that stood as straight as nails on both sides of the road quickly sprouted within seconds of talking to the wind, shaking their heads and throwing out their tender green leaves, and even the wind was stained with the smell of green and tender.
Lin Yilan's eyes flashed with light, the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled, and even the big black dog that had been following her was blown away by the wind.
"Do you smell the flowers?"
Xiang Hai's skin is very white, and his shirt is half-rolled up to the crook of his arm, revealing a white and beautiful arm. His eyes were half-squinted in the sun, and the bike stopped on the bridge. Lin Yilan held the painting box and looked into the distance, her eyes suddenly lit up, looking at the sea.
Xiang Hai's eyes also looked at her brightly, and he shook his head: "Let's go, let's go and have a look." The bicycle carried the two men on. The smell of flowers on the tip of the nose is getting stronger and stronger, and there are more and more people, and the pink and white sea is getting closer and closer.
Finally, after turning a corner, the two saw a high arched gate, and the three gilt characters "Peach Garden" on the beams of the gate were very eye-catching. Outside the gate, there were many people standing, sitting, and even small carts came to sell some things, and everyone chatted noisily.
The two hurriedly found a place to park their bikes.
Xiang Hai took the picture box from Lin Yilan's hand, and entered the door to buy a ticket, 20 yuan per person. Xiang Hai dragged her along the crowd and squeezed in. And there seemed to be more people inside, scattered all over the sea of pink and white flowers. In addition to the noise of people, Lin Yilan's ears even heard a trace of gongs and drums?
She looked suspiciously left and right, and in the depths of the sea of pink and white flowers, people seemed to be holding some kind of event.
The crowd was surging, Lin Yilan didn't understand it, Xiang Hai turned around and dragged her excitedly and said, "Someone is holding a wedding in the depths of the sea of flowers, let's go and see?" ”
Xiang Hai dragged Lin Yilan with a painting box in one hand and Lin Yilan in the other, and walked through the peach forest instead.
The sun crept up, dispelling some of the cool fog, revealing a grayish-white and misty sky.
April is warm, and the rain wakes up the mud. The inky branches of the old peach tree swaggered up to the rice paper-like sky, and the pale pink flowers shook off their sleepiness in the wind, and they were savagely stacked and stretched to the city wall. The apricot trees are more ladylike, and the slender branches are covered with fragrant "fragrant snow", which gives people the illusion that the snow outside is their masterpiece.
Lin Yilan's fingers brushed over a pink nephrite, and the colorless fragrance stayed wildly on her fingertips. Dongfeng also came to make fun, and stabbed Mei Hong Qingli to steal the incense, and the nephrite on the rice paper was so angry that he stomped his feet, and quickly dragged the mist and catkins as veils, so that he didn't want to pay attention to Dongfeng's disciple.
"It's a lot of fun."
The mist in the peach orchard has cleared, and the bright sunlight is smoking the people who come here for spring. People swim in the sea of pink with smiling faces, and they will smile and nod their heads when they see each other. Everyone doesn't have to put on a mask to get along with others, and they don't have to bother to manage friendships that don't know whether they are true or not. Relaxed and at ease.
Lin Yilan was dragged away from the beginning, and then jumped up and down to lead the way, and she didn't even notice the ease on her face. Xiang Hai saw that she was slightly sweaty on her forehead, so he bought a straw hat for her to cover her head.
Lin Yilan's face flushed, and then she realized that her actions were too childish, and she honestly followed behind Xiang Hai. Xiang Hai smiled, his eyes full of greed and love, chasing after the pink elves.
The sound of gongs and drums approached, and the two retracted their hearts to enjoy the scenery and squeezed into the depths of the sea of people. Helplessly, there were too many people watching the excitement in front of them, and it was difficult to cross the layers of human walls, so the two had to choose a high place to watch the excitement.
The crimson glazed tiles reflect a few small golden lakes in the pink and white sea. A pair of newcomers with phoenix crowns, sedan chairs and horses, gongs and drums, and constant laughter.
Xiang Hai looked in that direction for a while, and then turned his head to look at Lin Yilan beside him. She was fascinated by it, her face flushed under her straw hat, her eyes slightly curved, and the frequency of her long eyelashes blinking slowed.
He looked in that direction again, and a crowd of people crowded the couple into the ancient building, presumably starting to feast. Near noon, the people watching the excitement also began to disperse in all directions, each solving the problem of food and clothing.
There is also a place for tourists to eat in Taoyuan. There are many small tables in the ancient buildings of the small building with ventilation on all sides, add tea, burn incense, and then put down the bamboo curtains, and listen to the sound of silk and bamboo playing in the ears somewhere, and unconsciously it will make people have a great appetite.
Lin Yilan and Xiang Hai sat in a window compartment. I casually ordered some delicious dishes and drank free jasmine green tea, which was very comfortable.
Lin Yilan looked at the peach blossoms outside, and before she knew it, she was half full. She swallowed a sip of jasmine green tea, and her eyes fell on Xiang Hai, who didn't even move his chopsticks on the other side.
Xiang Hai's skin itself is white and glowing, and as long as it is exposed to the sun, the more his eyebrows and hair appear deep and dark, and his eyebrows are clear and handsome.
His thumb was firmly on the palette, and in his other hand he held a paintbrush, his wrist flipping repeatedly to polish the palette. The light favored his long and thick eyelashes, which shimmered with inexplicable charm in the blink of an eye.
He dotted the pale pink paint on the canvas, tilted his head slightly, looked at the peach blossoms outside the window through the bamboo curtain, pursed his lips unconsciously when he thought, and sometimes bent his eyes and laughed silently. Sometimes his actions reveal innocence that is not appropriate for his age.
The sunlight that had been split into thin strips by the bamboo curtain poured on him, and the white shirt was drizzled with gray stripes, and the dark hair reflected the light in the shape of slender stripes. The whole person is immersed in the striped aperture, as if he is out of place with this world, and like an immortal hidden here, finally showing his own brilliance in a certain environment.
Lin Yilan's fingers unconsciously picked the brim of the straw hat. She thought that if she had a camera, she would have to take pictures of the scene on the other side. She wanted to ask Xiang Hai, have you ever painted for yourself? If not, what a pity!
At that time, he would definitely ask, "Why is it a pity?" ”
She couldn't answer herself, and just now she extended many answers to this idea, and she found that she was not satisfied with each answer. Because she didn't know why she felt pity.
Xiang Hai felt that the gaze of the other side had been on him, and he stopped his pen for the last green leaf on the apricot blossom on the painting, and looked at it with a questioning face. Unexpectedly, the person on the other side fled in a panic, and puffed out his cheeks to drink water with an embarrassed expression.
It's very strange.
He lowered his eyebrows and began to fill his stomach. From the first bite, his eyebrows began to wrinkle, and he reluctantly ate a few more bites, and reached out to Lin Yilan to ask for fruit.
Lin Yilan handed him an orange, he peeled it and stuffed it in his mouth to eat it, drank two more sips of tea, tilted his head, and his brown eyes were full of broken light: "I want to eat braised prawns and tomato fish at night." ”
Lin Yilan then figured out that he was suspicious of other people's dishes and didn't want to eat them! She pursed her lips and snickered, nodding.
Xiang Hai took a sip of tea, and his mood improved a lot after getting the promise. He shook his head and continued to paint.
The brush resembles a blue-robed immortal, tumbling and dancing on the canvas with his toes on paint. In the blink of an eye, a girl wearing a straw hat walked slowly, with three points of hidden joy and seven points of silence in her eyebrows. I don't know if it's for fear of disturbing the peach blossoms who haven't woken up yet, or for fear that the blue-robed immortal will draw his heart full of loneliness. The immortal didn't want to embarrass the girl, and the blue robe gently threw out countless fine catkins, hiding the emotions in those eyes.
Add the final touch to the sea and toss the brush into the water in the disposable cup. He looked at the eyes of the girl in the painting and couldn't see the loneliness without looking carefully, and then raised his eyes to observe the person opposite, and secretly puffed out his cheeks. How does it feel like a prank? Hey.
Lin Yilan didn't know why he always turned his back to himself, and why did he think it was a trade secret, so he suppressed his curiosity with interest.
After the two finished eating, Xiang Hai handed over the oil painting to the waiter for temporary safekeeping, and pulled Lin Yilan to continue to wander in the peach forest. Lin Yilan was pulled by Xiang Hai's sleeves and walked forward, and he didn't even raise his head very trustingly, flipped through the tour route map given by the waiter, and his eyes stopped on the page where the big red took up most of the space.
"It turns out that Taoyuan has been on a blind date for three consecutive days since yesterday. Taoyuan also undertakes some Chinese weddings and other businesses. ”
"Blind date?"
Xiang Hai's eyes rolled, and he really didn't pick up this custom from his memory.
"Hmm...... Want to see it? I took a look at the route here, and from here, I went straight from here, turned three corners, and then, in the pavilion in the middle of the small lake, it was the blind date spot. ”
Xiang Hai is also a little interested in the sudden rise of blind date customs: "Let's go, it's nothing, just relax." ”
The two followed the route map to the so-called blind date location.
The small lake is not very large, and there are four pavilions on the water that lead to the center of the lake. There are a lot of people, a couple, and young men and women make up the majority. There are also middle-aged and elderly people, who don't know whether to accompany the blind date or go on a blind date by themselves, in groups of three or five, sitting at the small table in the pavilion and chatting happily.
Lin Yilan and Xiang Hai are like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, their eyes are a little overwhelmed.
Xiang Hai tugged the corner of Lin Yilan's clothes, his finger secretly pointed to a pair of men and women on the plank road, leaned into Lin Yilan's ear and said softly: "This pair may not be successful, you look at the woman, absent-minded, there must be someone in her heart." ”
