I feel compelled to explain why I woke up in a southern city.

This is actually about a wandering plan of Xiao Xiao in this world, and I mentioned in the 25 poetry books I wrote before that Xiao Xiao is like an ugly duckling, she does not belong to the duck flock, she is excluded, hurt, and not understood. She left the flock like an ugly duckling and began to wander, with a broken heart, and began to wander without a complete body.

Xiao Xiao is a Shandong girl, I really can't say anything about her personality, some people say she looks like a northern girl, and some people say she looks like a southern girl, anyway, this is not important, because since I joined, her personality has become more unpredictable.

She first went to Lijiang, China is so vast, she has been to not many places and not too little, Lijiang is her favorite place, and it is also the place she has been to the most. Don't get me wrong, she's a simple girl who rarely goes to the old city and never goes to a bar. She just likes the sky of Lijiang, the quietness of Lijiang, and the scenery of Lijiang, as if there is a painting everywhere.

She rented a house in Lijiang, which I was not familiar with, but I thought it was the best place in Lijiang, on a hill very close to the city. The first house was her place, and the yard was quite large, paved with stones, and there were peach trees, apple trees, pear trees, figs, and roses in the corners. There is also a sunroom in the courtyard, which is a house made of glass, and you can wear summer short-sleeved clothes when you stay in it at noon in winter. Xiao Xiao dried apples in the sun room, dried chrysanthemums and roses in the yard to make flower tea, and dried wild chestnuts picked in the mountains after the sun. The sun room is very large, a small part is used as a kitchen, Xiao Xiao has baked bread with afternoon tea in it, and has also baked flower cakes, except for the bad appearance, sweet and a little greasy, there are no other shortcomings.

Xiao likes to exercise, and when she gets up in the morning, she will run down the winding road in front of the house, and occasionally meet a dog in the village, so she pretends to be calm and passes quickly. The highway is part of the Ancient Tea Horse Road, and occasionally villagers will lead the horses past, and the bells on the horses will make a pleasant sound, announcing the arrival of the horses from afar. After Xiao Xiao runs down, he has to walk up, the slope is still a little steep, and he has to be out of breath when he walks up, after all, Lijiang is still a place with some altitudes, and there will be altitude sickness, unlike the plains.

Because the house is on the hill, it belongs to the halfway up the mountain, and it is still the first house, and the front is all open space, so the fence looks low from the yard, but it is very high from the outside. Standing in the courtyard, you can see the Lijiang urban area in the distance, just in a blue and green intersection, the blue is the sky, the green trees. It is more beautiful at night, and the night in Lijiang is different from the night in the east. The night in Lijiang is not black, the sky is dark blue, and you can clearly see the moon, white clouds and stars. Yes, you can still see the clouds at night, the clouds at night are extraordinarily more gentle and mysterious, and the Lijiang City in the distance also has more fireworks colors, and the hustle and bustle in the tranquility is particularly exciting.

Xiao Xiao has always wanted to put an easel in the yard to paint a picture, but she has not acted, I don't know why, probably because the wind in Lijiang is relatively strong, and she is afraid that the wind will blow her hair while she is painting. If I have the opportunity to return to Lijiang, I am willing to help her realize her dream, and I will set up an easel in her yard and paint a picture for her. Just draw the flower she likes the most, the flower that most resembles hers.

The house is halfway up the mountain, and then go up, the whole village slowly appears in front of you, the houses in Lijiang are very distinctive, each one is different, and they are all the same good-looking. Continue to walk up through the village to the back mountain, this is like a real crossing, one side is the village, the other side is the deep mountains and old forests, and there is no disobedience to the connection. It is as if God created this mountain and this village from the time the heavens and the earth were made. Walking up the mountain road, you can pick up wild chestnuts on the ground, small, put it in your mouth and open it, the meat is fragrant, slightly sweet. Some wild chestnuts still have thorns on the outside, but they are also easy to pick up.

Occasionally, there will be a fork in the mountain road, and you can walk to the people along the fork road, I forgot to say that this village is a minority village, and basically the Naxi people are the majority. Along the fork in the road, you will meet Naxi grandmothers, who usually wear Naxi special costumes and carry bamboo baskets on their backs. In Xiao Xiao's eyes, they all look alike, with round faces, red and black skin, and obvious wrinkles that seem to hide a lot of stories, and they don't like to talk but smile sweetly. Yes, it's a grandmother, but it's really sweet to laugh. The mountain is very high, and then up Xiaoxiao has never been, generally climb after lunch, climb for a while and get tired, the mountain is steep and high anti, and it takes time to go down the mountain, so I have never climbed to the top. When you go down the mountain, you can also pick up wild fruits, there is a fruit that looks like a big green jujube, it is particularly sour, once on the road I met a grandmother of mixed Naxi and Tibetan nationality told Xiaoxiao the name of this wild fruit, but she forgot, only remembered that the locals used it to boil soup to season. Not only is she face blind, but her memory is really not very good.

It's already beautiful to be able to live in such a paradise, I don't know what Xiao Xiao is looking for in her heart, she didn't stay in Lijiang for too long to start her wandering plan.
