The clouds go to the southeast and the west, and the fog and rain in Yuezhou are in the river.

Butterfly flies and looks at the fading face. A wave of startled early swallows, double feathers around the white sail.

The green skirt of the bare hands pulls the silkworm cocoon, and the floating boat is idle in the dream.

The beauty follows the water for the Chinese New Year, with a beautiful figure, laughing and laughing across the bridge.

The fog and rain cover the sky and the sun, sprinkled finely, as if to put everything in this world in the black and white world, the colorful butterflies flying like faded colors, the water waves of the swaying oars startled the young swallows in early spring, flying around the sails, the girl in the light skirt and tulle tulle played with the silkworm cocoon, it was the busy season of farming, and I had to put the leisure in my dreams.

In the blink of an eye, it was evening, year after year, the beauty of the time slowly passed away with the flowing water, but they didn't care, and they didn't bother to notice, they still danced and played, laughing all the way across the bluestone bridge that had been walked thousands of times.

A song "Linjiang Immortal" is talking about the rainy season in June and July in the south of the Yangtze River, the annoying dryness has not subsided, and people are not allowed to turn their minds, and the sad plum rain will come as promised. At this time, every household is busy planting seedlings in the field, just when the young girls carry bamboo baskets to the mulberry garden in the west of the village to pick mulberry and feed silkworms, picking room, from time to time take down a few purple-red mulberries and put them in their mouths, the mushrooms soaked in the plum rain, taste particularly sweet.

A few girls in purple shirts jumped to the forest to pull bamboo shoots, there was a girl with a bamboo basket in the head, facing the seven or eight girls who followed closely behind and ran backwards, one did not pay attention to bump into a boy, the boy shook slightly, hurriedly turned his head to look, only to see a girl in a flower cloth shirt "flutter" fell to the ground, the basket leaned to the side. The boy was busy helping him, but the girls who followed him stopped him, and a girl who looked older said, "Tell you to run, there is a cow from the neighboring village in front of you." "You talk a lot, you miss him!" the girl who fell down stood up while rubbing her ass and reproaching!

The boy couldn't help but think it was funny when he saw them bickering, but he was afraid of provoking them, so he forced the laughter to be held back in his heart, and the girl who looked older said to the boy: "I'm really sorry, my sister just played and bumped into you, are you okay?" "It's nothing, it doesn't actually touch me much. The boy said, "I don't want you to help my sister, let her suffer a little loss, and remember it longer next time." The girl then asked, "You're not a local, are you? "I'm from Yandu, and there's something I want to ask my sister. "Giggle," the woman laughed, "don't call me that, I'm not necessarily older than you, just ask me anything." "Dare to ask my sister...... , Ou ......" "Hehe, you call me Aqin." ”

"Well, Miss Aqin is good," the boy said deeply: "Dare to ask Miss Aqin, I want to go to the old man Zhou Duqiu's house in the Zhou Mansion, is it around here?"

The boy was about to make another move, but before he could bend down, he heard a cluster of breathless laughter, and the louder he laughed, the louder he laughed, and at last he almost lost his breath.

The boy looked at it, it was the girl who asked for directions, listened to the laughter, looked at himself again, and didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his question, why did this girl who had just met laugh like this?

The boy wondered if he had met a little madman, but he didn't know what to do, and looked curious about her.

"Don't blame this sister of my family, she is like this, as soon as she hears someone ask how to go to the Zhou family, she is happy, if someone asks casually, she is fine, just a little fun and smiled, like you asked the Zhou family how to go, she felt even more funny. Oh, Aqin, don't laugh, you look at it scares others. The older girl named Ah Cheng said.

"People just think it's funny, you're embarrassed to say me, didn't you start when you heard someone ask about that week...... Ah, Zhou Mansion or something, don't you also laugh endlessly?" Ah Qin asked rhetorically.

"Yes, but Zhou ...... , that Zhou Mansion, it's that Zhou Duqiu, and people are already miserable, why do you still make fun of others?"

"Alright, alright, you're a good person. Ah Qin pouted.

The boy watched the sisters tease each other, and he was helpless, not wanting to ask for directions, asking about all this trouble.

But fortunately, the boy was bookish and angry, and he still asked again with a smile: "If you know, please make it convenient, how to get to the mansion this week?"

"I'm really sorry, the home you said is called Zhou Muqiu, it's just in front of a big forest in front of it, it's not difficult to find. I'm sorry to make you laugh just now. The girl named Ah Cheng replied.

"Well, thank you, girl. The boy gave a deep squeeze, and when he got up to look, the girls were already jumping away. The boy watched the girls go away, and suddenly saw the Ah Qin who was far away and turned back to him and said loudly: "Go to the front of the house, cross the bridge that does not squint, and you are almost there, hehehehehe." He laughed again. The girls next to her signaled her not to make trouble, and she quickly covered her mouth and followed the girl in front.

The boy was puzzled when he heard it, thinking that it was a joke, he came to the river bank a hundred meters away, and there was a man standing next to the beach, about thirty-five years old, in a green coat and cloth shirt, revealing a bit of elegance, looking at the river flowing through and Xiaoyan flying low, brushing his beard and reading: "The fog locks the clouds from the southeast, it is the season, how can the family be idle......? "Your words have grown a little more!" the man smiled and turned his head back, "Hehe, Uncle Xiaoshan's head is good, I'm just a dog's tail mink." The boy said happily. The man didn't pay attention to what the boy was saying, and only admired what he saw.

At this time, a few spring swallows swept over the water, and the awning boats dotted the river, and the man casually read again: "The falling flowers are independent, and the rain is light." ”

Then the man said earnestly to the boy: "Xiqiao, it is said that it is not easy to compose lyrics, in fact, lyrics are not so profound, if it is difficult, it is indeed difficult to ascend to the sky, if it is easy, it is also easy to be like a hand, the heart is compared to the heart, the heart is the heart, the heart is compared to the heart, the combination of the two is the only way to compose words, and then their own experience must be rich, as the so-called empathy, put yourself in the shoes of the love into the country, write a good word that is never vulgar, but I can't reach the state of doing whatever I want, which requires hard practice." ”

Xiqiao listened to it in his heart, but he couldn't understand what he was for a while, what the heart was, and how old I was, where did I come out of the experience all of a sudden, but after all, it was the master who said it, it must make sense, and I can't realize the true meaning now, and I will slowly realize it in the future.

Suddenly, he remembered that he had just walked to the front to ask for directions, so he said to the man, "Uncle Xiaoshan, the Zhou Mansion you want to inquire about is in front of a big forest in front of you. The man nodded slightly and said, "It's not early, let's go." ”

As he spoke, the two of them walked forward one after the other.

But after a cup of tea, sure enough, the front suddenly opened up, and a vast forest appeared, to be exact, an endless expanse of woods, poplars, willows, peach, pear, jujube, persimmon trees, Walnut trees, a forest of all kinds of trees mixed into the boundless, the two were surprised by this scene, they couldn't imagine that there was such a vast place in such a small place, just when they sighed for the boundless woods, they also saw the hut in front of the woods, it was a simple thatched house, and even the danger of being blown down by the wind at any time, the thatched hut was surrounded by a fence wall made of bamboo poles, and it was not far from Zhou's house, so they walked to the thatched hut and planned to ask clearly.

When they approached the hut, they saw that there was a small wooden bridge in front of the door of the fence wall, the wooden bridge was very small, there was no bridge railing, it was about four or five meters long, and the width was just enough for one person to pass through.

At this time, Xiqiao remembered the girl's words just now, and did not squint at the bridge, so he closed his eyes and walked two steps quickly, and reached the opposite side.

"Don't look at either side. Xiqiao said to the man, the man covered his eyes and jumped on his legs, and also crossed the bridge, and when he looked back carefully, he was really not ashamed, it turned out that the so-called abyss was just a stone painting scroll carved on the ground, the carving was excellent, not careful as the abyss.

The two of them felt angry and funny, and this place still had to make such jokes, probably because the local stonemasons were funny, but they didn't care. So they turned around and came to the thatched house, they saw a plaque on the thatched house, carefully examined, both of them were full of doubts, only to see that the plaque that had been washed by the wind and rain and eaten by moths was incorrectly engraved with two words: Zhoufu.
