4. Jingming Reservoir Scenic Area
On the day when Huang Zhixiong went on a date with Zhao Jinping again, Zhao Jinping happened to meet with her good sister Lili to go to the Jingming Reservoir Scenic Area to play. Lili's real name is Li Lili, all three words are homophones, but everyone calls her Lili, omitting her surname, and I think it's easy to remember, Lili has a cheerful personality, is lively and likes to make friends, a large group of men and women. But she and Zhao Jinping are the best, and she likes to go to Caizhen clothing store to play with Zhao Jinping when she has nothing to do. Zhao Jinping is only helping her master Huang Caizhen now, and she works in Caizhen's clothing store without getting paid, so her master Huang Caizhen can't restrict her freedom too much. Whenever Zhao Jinping proposed that she needed to go out to do something, the master would agree, so that Zhao Jinping's time and space for her own activities were relatively free. This time Li Lili also temporarily asked Zhao Jinping to go out to play, and did not say hello to Zhao Jinping at first, Huang Caizhen happened to have something to do that day, Zhao Jinping couldn't stand Li Lili's hard begging, so she had to ask the master for leave, Huang Caizhen readily agreed this time, but she was very uncomfortable. Zhao Jinping also felt that the master was definitely not very happy in his heart, but he had already come out, so he didn't think about it, and just played happily for a day.
It was almost noon when Huang Zhixiong arrived at Caizhen clothing store, on the one hand, because his home was far away from the county seat; On the other hand, he didn't want to come too early, he was a little embarrassed to sit in a clothing store, he was wooden and introverted, and he didn't want to talk too much to others. He pinched the time very accurately, while planning this complicated time, he estimated that it would be almost lunch time, so that as soon as he arrived at the store, he could invite Zhao Jinping to eat, he couldn't stay early, and he was late, and he was afraid that Zhao Jinping had already eaten the meal. When he came to the store, he didn't see Zhao Jinping, and he didn't know that Zhao Jinping had asked for leave to play today, and he didn't want to ask anyone else. Huang Caizhen didn't know him, and saw that he had been wandering outside the store, so he stopped him: "Little master, are you going to make clothes or are you looking for someone in our store?" ”
Huang Zhixiong said: "I don't make clothes, I just want to find someone, I haven't seen her in person? ”
Huang Caizhen asked with a smile: "Is it the person in my store, what is his name?" ”
Huang Zhixiong said: "Her surname is Zhao. ”
Huang Caizhen asked: "What is the relationship between her and you?" ”
Huang Zhixiong's face immediately flushed: "It's okay, no, we just met, isn't she in the store today?" ”
"She took a leave of absence today, you should have asked us earlier."
Huang Zhixiong was a little annoyed, but he was helpless, he didn't expect that the things he had carefully planned would disappear like this. But he didn't give up, and he didn't dare to ask Huang Caizhen too much about where Zhao Jinping went and when he would come back. Huang Zhixiong walked aimlessly on the street alone, wanting to go home but not daring to go home, for fear that Zhao Jinping would return to the store and miss the opportunity, so he hesitated and couldn't make a decision.
Zhao Jinping and Li Lili went to Jingming Reservoir to play, and Li Lili brought a lot of delicious snacks and fruits, which were quite richly prepared. Zhao Jinping said: "Lili, why are you carrying so many things, if you can't eat them, it will become a burden, you can bring less and we will be easier." Lili said, "I didn't let you carry it, the two of us don't want to run around, it's so boring." ”
Zhao Jinping said: "Lili, even if it's lunch, I'm afraid so many things will be wasted." ”
Li Lili smiled with waves on her face: "You, you still want to come back in the morning, I plan to come back in the evening." Zhao Jinping said: "A reservoir, what's so beautiful, you still have to stay there for so long?" ”
Li Lili felt very strange: "That is our most famous tourist attraction here, the scenery is naturally very beautiful, have you been there before?" ”
Zhao Jinping said: "I really haven't been here before, and I don't know if it's beautiful. ”
Li Lili thought that Zhao Jinping was lying, how could she not even go to Jingming Reservoir when she was such a big person, she had played countless times.
Zhao Jinping and Li Lili set off and traveled all the way, but they saw the nearby mountain range, Biling Dicui, and the trees and leaves on the road were elegant, and there were many people walking on the road. Listening to their jokes and conversations, it can be seen that most of them are the same as their purpose, and they are all going to Jingming Reservoir for tourism and play. Therefore, their bags are also bulging, and Zhao Jinping began to secretly admire Li Lili for being thoughtful, why is she so old-fashioned.
Li Lili was very excited along the way, and as soon as she left the county seat, she had already entered the boundary of the tourist scenic spot within three miles. The outline of the distant mountains is as bright as it is dark, and there is a hazy feeling. The street trees on both sides of the road have also been carefully trimmed, neatly aligned, the canopy is very high and large, the branches cover the sky on the road tightly, and there is rarely leakage of sunlight on the asphalt road. The air is fresh, such air Zhao Jinping has lived in the county for several years and has never experienced it once, and the scenic spot is so close to the county seat, but Zhao Jinping said that he has not been here once, needless to say that Li Lili was surprised, and it would be incredible if he changed others. It's not that Zhao Jinping doesn't have the opportunity to come here, but she usually doesn't like to join in the fun, and the senior sister and sister have been here many times, but they didn't pull her over. Zhao Jinping's village is at the foot of the mountain, she is most familiar with the mountains and rivers, she thinks that the people in the city are a little neurotic, always like to make a fuss, such a plain mountains and rivers are so beautiful, but they can play crazy, like drunk and crazy. Zhao Jinping felt angry and funny. But everyone seems to be very excited, and today this kind of spirit infected Li Lili and also infected Zhao Jinping.
Li Lili asked Zhao Jinping: "Sister Pingping, I didn't lie to you, how do you feel about walking on such a boulevard?" ”
A breeze came lightly, which made Zhao Jinping's heart agitate: "Lili, I really didn't expect that such a beautiful scenery was placed in front of my eyes, and I didn't even come to appreciate it, and these decades have been wasted." ”
Li Lili stared at her in surprise with her eyes open and said: "Sister Pingping, no, you are too exaggerated, you are so excited, if you only see such a little bit and make a fuss, then when you arrive at the Jingming Reservoir scenic area, aren't you ready to jump into the reservoir to make carp essence, and you don't want to go home." ”
Zhao Jinping raised her pink fist and slammed Lili's back and said, "Just your mouth, what are you doing here, do you like Sister Pingping to go and not return?" ”
Li Lili laughed again: "Good sister, you are so innocent and cute, how can I have such bad intentions to let you 'go without returning'." I mean, I'm afraid you're 'not going to be happy.'" ”
Zhao Jinping naturally understood this truth, and the two continued to hurry, and continued to talk and laugh until they walked into the Jingming Scenic Area.
Jingming Reservoir is a huge project approved and constructed in Ziyang County in 1958, and it took 24 spring and autumn years to build. The construction of such a small-scale reservoir has already used 30 percent of the county's financial resources and 40 percent of its labor. This reservoir is blessed with a unique geographical location, the reservoir is located between the green water, blue sky and white clouds of Bishan, surrounded by high mountains, lush skin planting, fresh air and special environment. Viewed from above, it looks like an emerald inlaid with a huge pearl of the night. There is a temple on the right side of the reservoir, which is Gyeongmyeongji Temple. The temple is not large, but the incense is vigorous, and many good men and women gather early in the morning. Zhao Jinping was pulled by Li Lili and squeezed into the temple gate of Jingming Temple. Zhao Jinping said, people are so crowded, let's go to other places to see it before coming over. Li Lili laughed and said: "Don't be stupid, it's still empty now, there will only be more people waiting for you, not less, and it's not so easy to come in later." ”
Zhao Jinping didn't believe it, but Li Lili kept holding on to her hand, and she could only follow up. An old lady next to her didn't know that it was because she came in a hurry and seemed to have forgotten to bring something, so she was in a hurry, and she kept complaining about the wife next to her. Her wife may have been so complained by her that she couldn't help it, maybe she was more anxious than her, so she turned around and quarreled with her. Zhao Jinping heard that the reason why the temple was crowded early in the morning was that everyone did not charge tickets before eight o'clock in the temple. After eight o'clock, the temple gate is closed, only people who have bought tickets can enter again. The old lady came early to save five yuan in ticket money, they went to Jingming Temple to burn incense and make a wish, and when they arrived here, they learned that the old lady forgot to bring a bag of wishing 'scriptures'. The old lady complained that her wife didn't remind her when she came, causing her to run for nothing this morning, and her wife quarreled with her when she was angry. The old lady looked very fierce, and her wife only said a word, and the old lady started to beat people. Some of the tourists just stood and watched the excitement, and some came forward to persuade them, and more people accused the old lady of being unreasonable. The old lady was so anxious that she was so angry that her chest tightened and she became short of breath, her face turned pale for a while, her legs and feet were crisp, and she collapsed to the ground. The old man called in a panic as he hurriedly searched for something in his backpack. Maybe it's because he's anxious, the old man hasn't taken out anything after looking for a long time. Fortunately, at this time, a girl came over, rubbed down, asked about the situation, and soon found the medicine in the backpack, broke the old lady's mouth and sent the medicine down, the old lady turned the danger into safety, and everyone dispersed.
Zhao Jinping had been around these two old men throughout the whole process, thinking to herself why she couldn't help at all. If he had some knowledge and experience, he might not have made this old man scramble. Fortunately, nothing major happened, but what if something big happened. Li Lili laughed at her for not seeing the world, and said that she was a "dog chasing a mouse" The world is so big, there are so many things, can you manage so many things? If you can't help, don't make a mess, it's also a favor for others. Zhao Jinping disagreed with Li Lili's words, and felt that such words should not come out of her mouth. Fortunately, the two of them are here to play today, and there are too many places to visit in the temple. In order to be in a hurry, Li Lili said a long time ago, we can only stay in the temple for an hour, more than an hour, and the most nostalgic things can only be given up. Zhao Jinping had never been here before, and everything here was fresh and strange. Li Lili said, is a Buddha statue worth you to look at carefully over and over again, Zhao Jinping has to kneel in front of the Buddha statue and bow a few times, imitating the appearance of those old people and pretending. Li Lili ridiculed her for her false piety, saying that she didn't know how many times she had been here, and she would never kneel in front of the Buddha and make any wishes. Li Lili is disrespectful to the gods like this, Zhao Jinping is very disgusted, and Zhao Jinping usually does not worship the Buddha gods. But since you have stepped into the temple and entered the temple gate, you should respect them. Li Lili felt that Zhao Jinping was hypocritical, if it wasn't for wealth and profit, and love for marriage, why should she pretend to bow down to Liang?
An hour passed after speaking, and Li Lili grabbed Zhao Jinping's hand and pulled him up and walked out of Jingming Temple. Zhao Jinping said to Li Lili angrily, you, I didn't see that you were so strong before, how can you be so strong, everything has to act according to your intentions, you are too unconscionable.
Li Lili knew that Jin Ping was talking angrily, so she smiled and said, so what, I am such a character. Zhao Jinping said: "Fortunately, I'm not your boyfriend, if it's your object, I can't bear it for a moment." ”
Li Lili pulled Zhao Jinping out and let go of her hand and said: "I know you didn't want to come out just now, you don't know, today we only have this little time, if I don't calculate it accurately, we can't even play in ordinary places, let's go, let's take advantage of this part of the road to eat something while walking, and add a little strength, I'm afraid you can stand it today." ”
Zhao Jinping was unconvinced and said: "I see that you are not from a small family, a doll from the countryside, you don't even have this bit of strength, won't you let the people in the city laugh to death." ”
Li Lili said seriously: "Don't be prestigious, don't blame me for not reminding you if you can't stand it then, we need to allocate the physical strength of the whole day now, otherwise, it will be enough for you to regret it." Zhao Jinping took Li Lili's biscuits and water, first raised her head and took a sip of the water into her mouth, wiped a handful of sweat and said: "Lili, the temperature must be very high today, why are I covered in sweat when we walk on such a road." Li Lili was stuffing the biscuits into her mouth at this time, and before she had time to chew them, she said: "I listened to the radio last night, and the highest temperature during the day today reached 35 C °, and the lowest temperature was 27 C °. Zhao Jinping regretted: "You are a harmful spirit, you want to kill me, and you still tricked me out of such a hot weather." ”
Li Lili said aggrievedly: "People are afraid of encountering someone who has no conscience, I kindly led you out to cool off, if you are not grateful to Dade, you will take revenge." ”
Zhao Jinping felt very relieved when she saw Li Lili's mouth full of broken cake powder, pointed to her mouth and laughed so much that she coughed: "Rude, ugly, fangs and claws, you are exposed." ”
Li Lili rushed up to beat Zhao Jinping. Zhao Jinping was fast, and quickly ran away.
On the left side of Jingming Reservoir, there is a winding mountain road that winds into the deep forest, the road surface is poured with black asphalt, the road surface is about seven or eight meters wide, and it is the traffic artery leading to the next tourist attraction called Tiandu Forest Oxygen Bar. Jingming Reservoir was originally a high mountain Jingpo Lake, the lake is densely covered with small islands, the small islands are overgrown with shrubs all year round, there are many kinds of animals and plants, because it is a closed environment, therefore, all the animals and plants are in a primitive state, forming the original ecological environment phenomenon. insects, snakes, scorpions, lizards; Birds, aquatic species, primates, and other animals have been thriving well. Now due to the completion of the Jingming Reservoir, the area of the lake water body is expanding rapidly, some of the hills in the low-end position are flooded by the lake, most of the water sources of the reservoir are mountain spring water flowing out of the cracks in the high mountain rocks, there are no impurities, and because there are a lot of Chinese medicinal materials growing in the places where they flow, these natural Chinese herbal medicines are soaked in the spring water all the year round, and the minerals are very rich. As a result, these springs have some medicinal properties. The water of the lake is so clear and transparent that people will feel refreshed when they drink it. Therefore, whenever tourists wander around the reservoir lake by boat, they will fill a little water from the lake and take it home. Sitting on the cruise ship, passengers can not only enjoy the beautiful scenery of the surrounding green mountains, the blue sky and white clouds overhead, but most importantly, they can enjoy the various swimming fish in the reservoir up close. Every time a white cloud floats leisurely overhead, the scene of a beautiful picture that even surpasses the surface of the reservoir lake will make tourists scream loudly. The mountain reflects that the surface of the lake is stationary, but the flow of white clouds makes the mountain flow at the same time, and this dynamic flow forms an interactive scene with the static mountain submerged in the water. Mountains, water, clouds, trees, fish, people and boats are all connected, and it is extremely warm and beautiful. Zhao Jinping and Li Lili were sitting on the cruise ship at the moment, and Li Lili stretched out her arms and screamed loudly: "It's so beautiful, Jingming Lake, I love you." Zhao Jinping lowered her arm, leaned over and put a palm into the water to pull, and the sound of the water hitting the palm was crisp and refreshing. Zhao Jinping's eyes were staring at the swimming fish at the bottom of the lake, the clusters of black elves gathered and turned around like a black waterfall, the fish in front of them had not all swam over, and the fish in the back were swept over like dark clouds. The little masters of these reservoirs hardly know what troubles and sorrows are, they seem to know only enjoyment and happiness. They must have their own language, and they must have excellent artistic conductors among them, otherwise, who will conduct such a large team? Without words, how could they be so coordinated and agile in their actions? Zhao Jinping can't imagine how they did this, and have they been trained rigorously and systematically? If they can reach such a state without rigorous training, then what other animal in the world can surpass their self-discipline and coordination? Zhao Jinping never thought that Xiao Xiaoyuer could play such a high-level acrobatic skill and exquisite artistic expression.
"Look, Miss Pingping, there's a lot of fish dancing in the water ahead." Li Lili screamed again loudly, interrupting Zhao Jinping's deep thought. Looking at the water from afar, a phenomenon that had never been seen before appeared: thousands of silver-white elves on the water surface jumped out of the water with joy, jumping and undulating under the strong sunlight, and the water splashes were more silvery and colorful under the refraction of the sun's rays; This beautiful phenomenon is more intense, exciting, and magnificent than the scene under the water just now, and it is much more surprising that it is no wonder that the girls are cheering one by one.
Zhao Jinping was teased by everyone's emotions and cheered with everyone. The fish are tirelessly churning and jumping in front of the boat, accompanying the people on board, and everyone asks the boat to go faster, catch up with the jumping fish, or let the boat be in the center of the fish dance.
But no matter how fast the boat sailed, the fish danced not far from the front of the boat, and everyone was in high spirits and their emotions were completely aroused. The captain of the boat was worried that everyone was too excited and forgot about safety, and reminded everyone not to squeeze to the side.
After getting off the boat, everyone traveled through the depths of the secluded jungle. It was almost noon, and the sun was scorching the earth above my head. But Zhao Jinping and Li Lili already felt stuffy, and they shouted too vigorously on the lake just now, so that their lips were a little dry. The sharp-eyed Li Lili screamed again, scaring Zhao Jinping who was walking together so much that her heartbeat accelerated a lot. It turned out that Li Lili saw two squirrels chasing and playing on the trunk of a large pine tree, they were chasing in circles around the trunk, and their golden tails continued to flash with their agile bodies, while making a 'squeaking' sound to attract the attention of tourists. The squirrels here are not afraid of tourists, they seem to be very happy with the arrival of tourists, no, you look at these two squirrels, they are less than a few meters away from Li Lili and the two of them on the trunk of the tree, and there is no intention of running away. Li Lili grabbed a small pebble and prepared to throw it at the squirrel on the tree. Zhao Jinping hurriedly stopped her behavior: "Lili, don't bully them, this is a good partner on our journey, besides, they are having so much fun and dancing in front of us to welcome us, how can you 'take revenge'?" ”
Li Lili didn't throw the stone in her hand, but she also expressed her dissatisfaction with Zhao Jinping's obstruction: "Pingping, as long as you are soft-hearted, I am a corrupt element, and I also have crooked thoughts about small animals. ”
Zhao Jinping knew that Li Lili was not convinced, so in order to ease the atmosphere, she smiled and said to her: "Okay! I don't blame you, and I know you love interacting with small animals, but aren't you even more sad if you hurt them? ”
Li Lili said: "They are so clever, they will hurt them there, I also scare them, okay, don't talk about this, going out with you is depression." Zhao Jinping had already finished drinking the second bottle of water, and then wanted to take water from Li Lili's backpack to drink. Li Lili pretended not to give it to her: "You brought too much when you came, why is it endless to drink now, if you don't give it, you don't give it." Zhao Jinping was angry: "Don't feel distressed, settle the account when you go back, I won't take advantage of you." When Li Lili heard this, she didn't give her a water bottle: "In this way, I really can't give you any more water, I only drink a little bit, you like to share it evenly, so I can't give you any more drink." Zhao Jinping said: "You give it to me to drink, can't I pay for an extra bottle?" ”
Li Lili said: "No, just no, you only know thirst, don't I know that I am thirsty, I have the ability, you go to the reservoir to fetch water to drink." ”
Zhao Jinping was really angry: "Don't be sarcastic about me, I really have this ability." With that, he really left the road and walked under the reservoir. Li Lili stopped her: "It turns out that you are so open-minded, take it, stingy ghost, you really take it seriously when you make a joke." ”
Zhao Jinping turned his anger into joy and said: "I'm not fierce, I will be bullied by you today I don't know how, in order to punish your mistakes, I decided that no matter how much we consume today, you must pay alone." ”
"I thought Sister Pingping was a small jasper, gentle and elegant, but she was also a selfish and stingy ghost. Well, Miss Ben is magnanimous, so I don't care about you, and all the expenses today are paid by me. ”
"It's pretty much the same, it's just a bottle of water, and it's not a jade elixir." Zhao Jinping cocked her head high in the tone of a victor.
In the distant mountains, there is a burning red forest, which is spitting out flowers. Although Zhao Jinping's family is also at the foot of the high mountain, he knows and understands the exotic flowers on the mountain, such as cedar and banyan camphor, acacia and birch, orchid lotus chrysanthemum, and Du Fu and Mo rose, but he doesn't know that there are still trees with red flowers in the deep mountains at this moment, so he turned his head and asked Li Lili: "Lili, you say, why are there flowering trees on the mountain in front of you, what kind of tree is that, this flower is so beautiful, will they bear fruit?" ”
Li Lili smiled and said: "Look at you, you are lonely and unheard, don't think that you are better than me in everything, you need to ask me for advice this time, right?" This is not a tree, this is a deciduous shrub, a special case of the rhododendron family, it can grow up to tens of meters high, and the lifespan can reach thousands of years, this shrub has a very nice name, it is called 'Acacia rhododendron'. Don't underestimate it, the bushes in front of it have been here for at least a few hundred years. Zhao Jinping said: "It's obviously a shrub, why is it called an acacia azalea, isn't the cuckoo a bird?" I'm afraid you think I'm ignorant and easy to bully, right? ”
Li Lili said: "Believe it or not, I'm too lazy to talk to you." For she was indeed strange, and it was only after the other flowers and plants had withered that it began to spit out all over the mountains, and because of the height of its own flowers, and the red and bright flowers that bloomed, and a special fragrant fragrance, she attracted all the birds around her. Zhao Jinping asked: "Then why is it only called 'Acacia Cuckoo', and she is not related to Cuckoo?" Zhao Jinping may know more about Li Lili than herself, and deliberately make things difficult for her, but she didn't expect that Li Lili also understands: "Don't say it, I've heard the old man say this, once upon a time there was a lovesick bird called the cuckoo, and her lover was this tree, and the two stayed together day and night, which can also be said to be grinding ears and temples, loving each other, and respecting each other like guests." One day, the cuckoo's husband came back from foraging for food, but he could not find any trace of his wife, and their nest was destroyed by someone at some point. The husband waited on the tree until it was dark, and his wife did not appear, and he waited like this, and he did not know how many years he waited, until the tree in which he stood died and his wife did not come back, and he gradually died of old age, and in order to be able to wait for his wife, he even cried day and night, and then his throat was also cried, and a lot of blood flowed out, and drop by drop fell on the branches, and the branches became red, and after the husband died, he became a tree, and the tree became the appearance of a cuckoo. The rhododendron tree blooms every year when the wife leaves and gives off an alluring fragrance to attract the wife. Li Lili was still telling, Zhao Jinping took Li Lili's hand and said, "It's better to see than to hear, let's go and have a look under the flowers." ”
Li Lili opened her big eyes and said: "You are crazy, don't think that this flower is in front of you, when you go, you can't go anywhere all day, besides, there are so many mosquitoes, flies, rats, ants, snakes, scorpions, lizards, pythons, deer, civet apes waiting on the mountain in this mountain, maybe there are bears, leopards, and wolves, even if the scenic spot is not blocked, and the place is not closed, no one has the courage to dare to go in, everyone can only appreciate it from afar, not directly there, and we two girls, you are not afraid of animals hurting us?" ”
said this, Zhao Jinping also gave up: "Forget it, forget it, just don't go." ”
