Chapter 39: Flowing Water Memory

I can't remember how many times I've seen the stone arch bridge in my dreams, a small stone bridge made of stones. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although it was only a few meters long, it was so clear in my mind. Because of this bridge, I remember a person, a person who is like a flower. Although I haven't seen her again in years, I feel like she's standing right in front of me every time.

A pair of beautiful big eyes, long black shiny hair, and a goose-egg-shaped face, always with a faint smile.

I was pleasantly surprised to see the roses, but I wasn't surprised. Because it's a holiday now, it's a normal thing for her to be at home when she is in junior high school.

She seemed a little surprised at first when she saw me standing on the stone arch bridge, and then she seemed to remember something and ran to me and asked me. When I used to play at Yonghui's house, I told her that my aunt's house was going to pass by, and she obviously guessed it.

Actually, I was a little at a loss, but after she asked me a few questions, I got used to it. I don't know why I want to explain to her, in fact, there is still a distance to go to my aunt's house, but I can't take a step on my feet. Seeing that she seemed to be very interested, she said that she hadn't been to her aunt's house for a long time and wanted to go over to play for a while.

Rose was obviously still a little surprised, and when she heard that I had gone alone, she looked at me for a while, as if she were looking at a monster. Finally, seeing that I didn't look like I was joking, they asked me if my family knew I was going.

I remembered her concern many years later, but I never saw it again. I honestly told her that my family must know, otherwise I wouldn't have gone alone.

To my surprise, she actually grabbed a vegetable basket and said that she would go to the other side of the mountain to pick vegetables and walk with me. This naturally makes me a little excited and happy, of course, this has nothing to do with the YY that most people guess. I gradually have a good impression of the opposite sex, and the roses are very attractive, which is undoubtedly the reason why I am happy, not to mention that we are also familiar.

In fact, from the big house near her house to the nearest Xiangjia Village, where I must pass through, there is a mountain road of nearly two miles in the middle. Originally, the mountain road was mostly made of stones, but later many camphor trees were planted, so that two small springs remained in the mountain that do not dry all year round. At this time, no matter what is not polluted, the water in the mountain spring is drinkable.

However, the mountain is not high, but because it is between two villages, there are few people in normal times. When I used to pass by, I was still a little scared to say something, but I was naturally happy to hear her say that she wanted to go together.

There are few people on the mountain road on this day, but the sun is very comfortable.

Rose asked me if it was fun at my aunt's house. I barely thought about it and said it was funny, because I had a few cousins and cousins, and the eye-watering wild vineyards, the yellow flower fields all over the hills, and the roosters and pheasants scurrying all over the ground. Listen to the roses in the eyes full of stars.

I don't know if I'm suddenly a little bold, but I suddenly asked her if she wanted to play with her.

Rose visibly froze, leaning against a large rock, her snow-white teeth biting her lower lip as if she were making a decision. I felt like I was breathing a little short, and I was obviously hoping that she would say yes. But when I heard her hesitantly say that she was not familiar with her aunt's house, her family would definitely ask if she went to play.

Later, I felt that I was really not stupid, and I didn't think about the consequences of talking, but happily, I did. I anxiously said that my aunt's house was very interesting, and if I went, I could let her go back and talk to the family.

She made a decision that I didn't even expect, and although this decision made me happy for a long time, but then because of some things, I thought that it might be because of her personality that led to her later end. At this time, we didn't know what happened, but I was glad that she agreed, and ran back as fast as she could.

I sat on a somewhat flat rock, where I could see the path from which she came, and the foliage on it to block the hot sun. But I felt like I was living like I was going by, and I was worried that she wouldn't come. Although she said to play, I knew that it was very unlikely. After all, I went to visit a relative, and this relative's house has nothing to do with her.

Just like many years later, as long as you close your eyes and think of that mountain road, you will think of a tall girl, cheerful like a beautiful butterfly, running from that narrow mountain road.

Rose really came, she changed her clothes, and I later learned that the floral dress belonged to her sister. She waved at me with a smile on her face, and I was so excited that I jumped off the stone to pick her up without waiting for her to come forward. She went home and told her mother to go to her classmates to play, but she didn't say that she was going to her aunt's house with me. I was a little surprised, but my little head didn't think about it that much.

When you go down the mountain road, you can see Xiangjia Village.

Originally, I didn't take this mountain road, but there was a dirt road on the side to walk, and this dirt road extended from here to Xiangjia Village, and the other side entered the mountain winding, and you could reach our village to carry forward the hall. If we take the dirt road down, the road is much easier, but we have to go around half a circle, and we can go directly to Xiangjiawu in the courtyard of Xiangjia Village from the mountain road.

Xiangjia Village also has three surnames, the first is naturally the surname Xiang, the second is surnamed Zhuo, it is said that Qiu'er's grandfather Zhuo Yiming is originally from here, and now there are two brothers, and the third surname is Gou. The brothers who fought with Uncle Luo's son Luo Gangshan in the movie theater last time were from Goujiawu in Xiangjia Village.

When I went to my aunt's house, I crossed over to the family house, and there was an ancient road that I walked on, which was said to be the official road before liberation. The road is paved with bluestone slabs, which is very smooth and beautiful. The stone pavement is no more than three meters wide and winds for nearly a kilometer. Finally, I arrived at another compound in Xiangjia Village, which is the location where Goujiawu and Zhuojiaping are concentrated. On the left is the site of Zhuojiaping, and on the right is the location of Gou's house.

And on both sides of the road are ancient shops, still retain the appearance of the shops of the past, these shops usually have a rush every week, of course, there are not some grocery stores and Chinese medicine shops open every day. On both sides of the road is a façade made of door panels, and above it is a wooden stilted building. The old people looked at this place and shook their heads, they all dreamed of going out to build new houses, and the young people did not want to live in such old houses, and no one expected that many years later these houses would become treasures.

We weren't in the mood to look at it, but when I was passing by this old street, I actually saw a popsicle seller. I have an impression of that person, it is this person from Xiangjia Village, and the reason why I know him is because this person goes to sing a lantern show every year during the Chinese New Year. He obviously didn't know me, but he was happy to see me taking money to buy popsicles.

Rose was obviously a little surprised that I had money on me, but she quickly forgot about the excitement of the popsicle. As we walked, we crossed to the ridge leading to another village in Xiangjia Village, where we could see the Black Tiger Mountain in the Heihu Village next door, and we also had to pass through a small stream like a jade belt, and the stream water flowed down from the Black Tiger Mountain.

I don't know the name of this creek, but I like this clear creek because it's not deep and there are a lot of small fish. There are many unknown small flowers and even beautiful aquatic plants by the stream. It is said that the stream eventually flows to a reservoir, which is supposed to be right next to Xiangjia Village.

Rose was so happy that when we got to the creek, she took off her sandals and jumped into the shallow water to frolic in the water.

I love to watch her smile, even if I'm still very young and don't know anything, maybe it's a natural aesthetic, and I feel comfortable looking at it. Seeing her smile happily and splashing water on me, I immediately woke up and responded. The water in the creek here is shallow, and probably the reason for summer is not even our knees, so I don't need to be afraid at all.

In the fields, under the sun, in this heaven and earth, we are left with happy laughter.

Many years later, whether it is me, or us, or children of this age, it will be difficult to enjoy this innocence again. Because the environment is changing, the times are changing, and people's hearts are also changing. It becomes that we have lost a lot, and much of it we can no longer remember before. What are we after? What do we need? It seems that life is good, but no one can say clearly the price paid for it.

The summer sun was actually warm, and I felt so happy for the first time.

I finally found out that Rose and I came out to play because my father was a worker. Because although this rose was also born in the township, her eldest brother is a college student, and she doesn't like the dirty friends in the township. is with her sister Peony, her whimsical thinking is also a little different, and she can't look down on the little friends who play together in the yard.

At this time, I didn't feel bad at all, but because she was visiting relatives with me, I felt very happy.

The girl doesn't know what it's like to be sad!

Seeing her standing in the water, I suddenly felt myself blushing, it turned out that we were both wet from each other's splashing water, and I actually saw her developed upper breasts. She didn't have the same new underwear as Peony, so she was naturally a little exposed. But Rose herself obviously didn't find out, I actually wanted to see it, but I was more afraid of the consequences of being known by her, so I had to fly ashore, and took the initiative to say that we were on our way.

We seemed to have a good time all the way, walking through the village of Black Tiger, stepping into the village of Liuqing, where a canal irrigates the whole village, and then passing a huge pomelo orchard, and then we saw the two huge ancient cypresses at the head of my aunt's village.
