Chapter 53: Jiangnan
On the edge of the Xu River.
The morning light sprinkled on the busy wharf, bustling with passengers, workers carrying goods, hawkers, and boatmen soliciting passengers to flood the wharf.
"Childe, Miss, where are you going?" One of the boatmen looked at them and said.
"Across the river." Nishiki returned.
"Please get on board." The boatman made a gesture of please.
Jin Bai stretched out his hand to hold Xiaoyi and got on the boat, and the two of them sat down with the panicked hull.
"Let's go." With a shout, the boatman shook his oars, and the boat moved forward slowly, gradually moving away from the shore.
The two were relatively silent, the sun shining on their faces, a hint of redness.
The boatman sang.
"Hey, the spring breeze rises, the willow leaves fly, my brother shakes this boat, my sister looks from the shore, my brother yells, you slow down, don't be blown away by the big water, I'm waiting for you here, if you don't come, I won't leave..."
Listening to the heroic singing of the boatman, the two sat quietly.
"Boatman, what kind of song are you singing?" Jin Bai asked.
"It's all handed down from the older generation, and it's about the husband whose wife is waiting on the shore to catch fish."
"What a pair of amorous people."
"Where are you going?"
"I'm going to go to Gangnam for a few days."
The boatman smiled.
"Jiangnan is a good place, make sure you go once and don't want to go back. Two... Just got married. ”
"I didn't get married, but it's fast, borrow your auspicious words." Jin Bai clenched his fists and said.
After laughing a few times, the boatman sang again.
After a while, we arrived at the pier in Jiangnan.
"Walk slowly, two."
Jin Bai gave the silver and went ashore together.
In front of him, a Jiangnan flavor, slowly walked forward, at the head of the river, three or two women holding mallets and beating their clothes, on the shore, green smoke swirled in the sky. In the distance, the winding green hills loom in the distance.
It seems that the boatman is right, this place does make people not want to leave after coming once.
They had never been to such a place before, and for a moment, they were stunned, and a thought surged in their hearts at the same time, if only they could stay here forever.
"This scene in front of me is rare in the world."
"That's true."
The two found an inn and built it against the river, which was quite flavorful.
The rain in Jiangnan is coming.
The rain was falling tricklingly, and the pedestrians on the street had long been accustomed to it, and they picked up the umbrellas that had been prepared for a long time, and spread out a handful of oil-paper umbrellas on the street, like a picture scroll splashed with ink.
Standing by the window to enjoy the rain, Xiao Yi suddenly felt a warmth in her back, and it turned out that Jinbai put on a cloak for her.
"Beware of catching a cold." As he spoke, he pulled up his cloak again.
"It's okay, this rain scene is very good, as if it can wash away all the gloom."
Jin Bai hugged Xiaoyi into his arms from behind.
"You are my light." With that, he buried his head in her neck.
Xiao Yi's heart trembled, and he touched his hand, and Jin Bai held her tighter with his backhand.
Sure enough, this smoke and rain are intoxicating.
The rain is knocking on the window lattice, a little sad, a little like, the clear rain washes the noisy red dust, at this moment the red dust also finds a moment of tranquility, small distant mountains, shallow eyebrows, a few wisps of green smoke and jade screen; A leaf boat, a lake of smoke, old hatred is not over, new sorrow is added; The lights are shining, the powder is falling and the flowers are left, the smoke and rain shawl, and the heartstrings are sad and chaotic; Sitting alone in front of the window, with thousands of thoughts, laying out Suya letterhead, writing about the previous life, letting the world change, the vicissitudes of life, do you know?
