Chapter 349: In front of the Echo Wall, the vow of love
I couldn't sleep all night, and I woke up from a dream.
At dawn, I saw that Ye Qian still got up early as usual, boiled water, made breakfast, and then waited for Mengjie and Xiao Yinyin to get up. After eating, I got in the car and took Mengjie's mother and daughter straight to the Temple of Heaven.
The Temple of Heaven is the symbol of Beijing.
Passing through the double gate and past a large area of dense and neat Honka Berlin, the three of us climbed the Danbi Bridge, which is more than two meters high. Looking up, just as conceived by the great architect of the Temple of Heaven, in the quiet greenery, in the solemn and quiet atmosphere, at the end of the dense forest, through the low blue wall, looking up at the incomparable New Year's Hall, as if really walking from the earth to the sky, people can't help but feel awe.
"As the capital where the Son of Heaven lives, its construction, from the Forbidden City and the city wall to the small courtyard, each temple and the Bodhisattva offered in the temple all reflect the profound Chinese culture...... "I said to Mengjie while turning around along the second layer of the railing of the Yuanqiu altar, looking at the floating clouds floating in the sky.
"Uncle knows so much!" Xiao Yinyin looked at me with great admiration and said.
"Uncle is educated!" Mengjie said to Xiao Yinyin.
Xiao Yinyin nodded seriously.
Above Mengjie's head, there were white clouds floating in the blue sky.
The world, the green eaves, the red walls, the sleeping bell, the gloomy and silent palace...... The pillars of the prayer hall, the steps and white marble railings of the altar, and the constant use of the number "9" show the rich culture contained in the Temple of Heaven. And beyond the walls of the Temple of Heaven, there is a lot of red dust.
Wanzhang Hongchen needs firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea.
Before we knew it, we were in front of the echo wall of the Temple of Heaven.
"Is this the legendary Echo Wall?" Meng Jie asked curiously.
"Yes," I said, smiling, "the wall of echoes is the wall of the Imperial Dome, made of polished bricks and joints, and covered with blue glazed tiles. The curvature of the wall is very regular, the wall surface is extremely smooth and neat, and the refraction of sound waves is very regular. As long as two people stand behind the east and west side halls, standing against the wall, and one person is talking against the wall, the sound waves will continue to be refracted along the wall and transmitted to the other end of one or two hundred meters. No matter how small the voice is, it can also make the other party hear clearly, and the voice is long, creating a mysterious atmosphere of 'heaven and man induction'. ”
"Xiao Yinyin," Meng Jie said to her daughter, "you play on the side, and your mother and uncle are here to say a few words!" ”
Xiao Yinyin nodded sensibly and played quietly on the side.
I looked at Mengjie and slowly walked towards the other end of the wall.
At the other end of the wall, I stood against the wall, quietly waiting for Mengjie's voice......
"Can you hear me?" Mengjie's voice came long.
"I can hear it," I said softly, "and it's clear! ”
"Actually, I didn't hate you at all," Meng Jie's voice came over again, "I haven't hated her, I haven't hated Beijing!" If there is an afterlife, I will choose to love you, even if it is only for those short three years, but I will spend my life reminiscing about ......"
I felt the dampness in my eyes for a moment.
At this moment, the sourness and bitterness in my heart suddenly surged uncontrollably into my heart like a tide, and the scenes of holding hands for three years came to my mind like a film, and I suddenly felt extremely tired and empty in my body. At this moment, I really want to walk up to Mengjie gently and hug her gently, even if it is for a short minute and a second. I knew I hadn't wanted to hurt her, but I knew I had hurt her.
"Mengjie, let me really say a word to you!" My eyes were moist and teary.
"Say it!" Mengjie's voice came faintly again.
I was about to open my mouth, but I found myself crying.
What more can I say?
It's quiet.
I don't know how long it took, but I saw Mengjie slowly walking towards this end of the wall......
I opened my eyes, and just as I wanted to hug Mengjie tightly, I found that behind her, Xiao Yinyin looked at me with strange eyes. The Temple of Heaven, which was sparsely populated just now, seemed to have a large number of tourists in an instant.
"Uncle, why are you crying?" Xiao Yinyin asked with big eyes and wondering.
Meng Jie sighed softly and smiled slightly.
It was almost dusk, and many middle-aged and elderly people were singing in the corridor of the Temple of Heaven. The voices of male and female vocals, flutes, accordions, erhu accompaniment, recitations, and operas are so loud. Seeing their happy appearance, my heart was also a little touched. When I looked up, I saw that the golden dome of the prayer hall was close at hand, giving people a sense of time and space. In the sky behind the golden dome, white clouds drifted gently.
There are always clouds floating in the sky.
Floating around.
"Dear Mengjie," I said faintly in my heart, "if there is an afterlife, I hope that I will only experience one love in my life, from the first love to love you, but not three years, but a lifetime, from the beginning of love to the end of love with you, as long as life is, love is as long as it is; Life is as long as love lasts! ”
I watched the clouds drift in the sky in a very sour feeling.
Floating around.
