I stood on the embankment next to the school and watched the sisters Ou Meiyu and Ou Yujiao chase and play among the flowery hibiscus trees. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 InfoI was pulled in by them after school.

The wild hibiscus trees on the river embankment are crowded like large flower umbrellas. The gray-brown branches are clustered with polygonal green leaves much wider than the palm of my hand, and the delicate hibiscus flowers are squeezed out of the green leaves, and they are woven into hydrangeas in circles. The autumn breeze blows and dances, which is so beautiful that people are intoxicated.

They like hibiscus flowers very much, the two of them jumped and shuttled under the flower branches, Ou Yujiao folded a few hibiscus branches in her hand, sniffed the faint fragrance of flowers while walking, laughing and singing happily.

Girls are born with a love of flowers. My sister Xiaoling and my sister Xiaojing are the same at home, they always like to pick some delicate wildflowers and take them home, insert them in empty wine bottles and raise them, and they are reluctant to throw them away when they wilt.

Ou Meiyu likes to paint some flowers and plants, and when she came out, she put a picture clip and stopped from time to time to draw a few strokes. I followed behind them, and I folded one in my hand and held it in my hand, I also liked this kind of white, pure and red delicate hibiscus flower, I sighed its magic, the same flower, three changes a day, white as snow in the morning, pink as a peach at noon, but deep red like blood at night, I don't understand what the reason is, it took many years for me to figure out on "One Hundred Thousand Whys" that this is due to the relationship between light and pigment.

There were not only three of us on the embankment, but also some young people from the districts and towns, in addition to the male and female students who were chattering, and of course most of them were the little girls from our school. From time to time, people come by and greet us.

Li Baochang came with a few classmates and greeted me from afar. Ou Meiyu didn't look at him, and pulled Ou Yujiao forward and left.

It's not that I'm bragging, but now I'm "famous" in school. Li Baochang and I had already shook hands and made peace, he knew that I liked to read miscellaneous books, so he specially asked his uncle for the key to the district library, and took me in to read several books.

We parted after a few casual conversations. Ou Meiyu stood in front of a big hibiscus flower in front of her, she was sketching with a picture clip, and when I approached, she closed the picture clip and smiled at me: "You always brag about reading a lot of books, can you read a few poems about hibiscus flowers to me?"

I was stunned. I took several books of Tang poetry and Song poetry from Mr. Laoshu's house, but because of my practice, I rarely had time to read them, and I didn't remember much. I went through it in my head, but I really didn't remember it, and I shook my head and said I couldn't remember. Ou Meiyu teased me and said: "If you don't know, you don't know, I want to slap my swollen face and become fat, I can't remember what he said, so let's read a few songs to you, as long as you say who wrote it, I'll believe you, how about it?" Do you dare to take it? ”

She often recited some poems to let me guess the author, and forced me to read Tang and Song poems, and I smiled and said, "I know that you want to show off again, you read it, I'll listen."

Ou Meiyu leaned on the hibiscus bushes, her face reflected the hibiscus, and she smiled skillfully. She cleared her throat and said crisply:

"Qianlin swept a yellow,

Only Fleur is alone.

Called to resist frost and know not to be called,

Careful thinking is the best frost

Who do you say wrote this poem? ”

I read it silently in my heart, and I don't have any impression at all, how do I know who wrote it? deliberately teased her: "It's either that or that that person who can write such a good poem, anyway, it's not me or you."

Ou Meiyu said: "You are not motivated at all, and you are a good man." Have you read those Tang poems and Song Ci? You listen to me, this poem was written by Su Shi, he praised the hibiscus flowers blooming proudly, with a noble temperament and full of vitality. Under the ravages of severe frost, all flowers and trees have withered yellow, only the hibiscus flower is fragrant alone, not that it is not afraid of severe frost, but only severe frost can show its true color......"

Under the sunset, she stood in the flowers and gushed endlessly, people and flowers reflected each other, the appearance was more delicate than the flowers, and the beauty made people's hearts palpitate. I looked at her, and suddenly I had a special feeling in my heart, and the beauty written in the book was probably like this. I suddenly had a feeling that I wanted to grow up quickly.

"Hey! What are you having? Did you listen to me? ”

Maybe it was my blank look at her expression that made her notice, Ou Meiyu exclaimed angrily.

I woke up, my eyes were wrong, and I grinned:

"I'm thinking, there's something wrong with what you just said. Who said that all flowers and trees are now withered and yellow? You look up, are the pine fir trees on the mountain withered and yellow? Is the bamboo yellow? There are many miles of trees that do not wither and yellow! And flowers, don't you know that the camellia on the mountain is also blooming? What is only the fragrance of hibiscus alone? Camellia is much more fragrant than it, nectar is sweeter than sugar, I don't believe that one day I will take you to see it. ”

I deliberately raised the bar with her. She was speechless for a while, so angry that her little face Hibiscus turned red, raised her hand and pushed me, and said angrily: "Dead monkey, you know how to mess around, I won't tell you."

I took two steps back and smiled, "Who told you to say that absolutely?" All the flowers and trees are withered and yellow, and there is no level of talking? But you look so beautiful standing there, more beautiful than a flower, like a ...... seven fairies."

"You dead monkey......"

She chased after me and wanted to hit me, so I raised my legs and ran a few steps, then suddenly stopped and asked her, "Hey, where is Yujiao?" Sister Yujiao, where did she go? ”

She stopped, raised her eyes and looked around, and indeed disappeared Ou Yujiao. While we were talking about the verses, she ran somewhere.

The small river next to the school is not wide, in late autumn and early winter, no more than spring and summer, the river is thin and shallow, and the water is no deeper than knees. At first glance, there was no one on the pebbled riverside beach, but there was no need to worry about her going to play in the water alone. I tore open my throat and screamed a few times, but I didn't hear a response except for a side-grabbing look. There was an inlet in front of the mountain, so we hurried upstream to find it.

Turning the mouth of the mountain, there is a stone mountain on the side of Lion Rock, with sparse trees and withered yellow grass. Several low stone-walled tiled houses are scattered in the rocky valleys.

These stone chambers are a deserted temple, called Mr. Wu Temple. The stone wall is covered with vines with a small number of yellow leaves, and because no one cares about it, the surrounding area is overgrown with wild grass. A path in the grass leads to the temple gate, indicating that the temple is not unattended.

Looking at it from a distance, there was no one outside the deserted temple, and Ou Meiyu shouted a few times, but no one responded. Just as I was about to turn away, I noticed something strange.

I've been to this temple a few times.

Some time ago, when I drove out the "Wong Tai Sin" for Principal Wang's daughter, I brought Rhubarb and Little Yellow, and after the "Wong Tai Sin" was abolished that night, they also slipped away, and I didn't return for a long time, I guess I either went to forage for food or got close to the same kind, so I reluctantly returned to Principal Wang's house. The next day I went to the willow forest twice and saw no sign of them, and they did not appear until the night when I went to the willow forest again. When I got back to school, I left them in an empty house in the backyard of the school, and they went out day and night to hunt and forage for food. There were two times when I didn't return for a long time, and I searched around, and finally found them here in the deserted temple.

Every time I come here, the main entrance of this deserted temple is locked. A large old-fashioned copper lock was covered with green rust, and hung on the thick door ring, which was also rusty, sealing the heavy wooden door tightly.

But now I find that the temple door is ajar. This is very strange, I heard that this temple door was sealed and locked by the old temple Zhu himself before he died, and it has not been opened for decades, how can it be opened today?

Did Ou Yujiao run inside out of curiosity? I lined my heart for a moment, and said to Ou Meiyu: "Sister Meiyu, you wait here, the temple door is open, I'll go over and take a look, I'm afraid that if Sister Yujiao is inside, she won't hear our screams."

Ou Meiyu frowned and said to me, "I'll go with you."

I quipped, "Aren't you afraid of this desolate temple?"

Ou Meiyu stared at me with a smile and said, "With you here, what am I afraid of?"

At this time, the afterglow of the setting sun was sprinkled on the temple wall, and I walked towards the deserted temple, followed by Ou Meiyu.

The temple door was half hidden, I stretched out my hand and pushed, it was very heavy, I showed my strength, pushed open the wooden door, raised my legs and walked in.

A rotten breath came to my nose, I held my breath, and turned my head to see Ou Meiyu covering her mouth and nose with her white and tender little hands.

The room was dimly lit, but it was fine for me, and this should be the main hall of the temple. I took a look, and in the center was a life-size clay statue of the Bodhisattva, and there was a small one on the left and right, and the three clay statues were all covered with dust with tangled cobwebs. On the walls on either side are mottled murals and carvings of gods and ghosts, and there are rows of small footprints on the dust on the ground, but they lead to the back.

I shouted, "Is there anyone in the back?" Who's behind? ”

Voices echoed through the hall, and dust fell from the beams of the leaking roof, and no one responded. I felt that there was someone behind me, but it was very indistinct. I said to Ou Meiyu, who was by: "There are some weird things in this house, Sister Meiyu, you should wait for me outside."

Ou Meiyu shook her head, covered her nose with one hand, and tugged at my arm with the other. I looked at her and walked to the back.
