The water of the Laodao River, ten miles wide, no waves and no waves, lotus step is Shanshan. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

She came from the Stone Pillar Peak, thousands of miles away, and she also had to run to the distant sea.

In this winter without snowflakes, the rising warm sun is caressing the face of the Laodao River. You can see its clear eyes, in the morning sun, melting into a brilliant one.

This river is as old as heaven and earth, and it is older than the blood that flows in the veins of man.

According to legend, during the Three Kingdoms period, Guan Gong, a famous general of the Shu Han Dynasty, led his troops to attack Changsha, and entered the Xiangjiang River with Zhou Cang in a small boat along the Laodao River. Unexpectedly, the Qinglong knife in Guan Gong's hand fell into the river, entered the water and lived, turned into a green dragon, and went upstream. Fortunately, Zhou Cang chased after him and fished the treasure knife. Since then, the place where Guan Gong dropped the knife was called the knife mouth, and the river where Zhoucang fished the knife was called the knife river.

The water flow of the Laodao River is gentle, and the banks are full of high mountains rising from the ground, and there are no people. Only the various birds that flew by from time to time, in the dense woods, "quack" and "coo" happily called.

It's a haven for birds and animals, and it's rare for people to disturb their quiet lives.

Even the fish in the river seem to be humming a small tune and jumping from the upper reaches to celebrate that they still have this pure land.

On the cliffs on the west bank, there is a Buddha statue carved with only a head and a hand. If this Buddha statue is carved, it should be several times taller than the Yueyang Tower by Dongting Lake. I don't know who carved it in which era, and why it was not completed?

At noon in winter, the sun is still hot, warming all the living beings in this land.

This year's weather is rare and sunny, and the temperature is higher than usual, and even in the morning, there is no frost on the leaves of the plants.

In the upper reaches of the river, two people, one large and one small, slowly floated in, holding each other tightly with their hands.

The animals were very curious, and the birds on both sides of the river immediately gathered by the river, shaking their heads and tails to see what was happening in their own territory. They chatter, you say a word to me, just like seven aunts and eight women, get together to discuss why these two people float in the river?

A few eagles on the cliffs by the river were staring at these two people floating in the river, and their hearts must be very happy, because it is very likely that these two people are their dinner today.

The people who floated in were none other than Shi Luoyi and Wang Liu.

When the river gradually warmed up, Shi Luoyi also woke up under the caress of the sun.

When she opened her eyes, she saw the innocent blue sky and the amiable smile of the sun father.

It's all so wonderful.

But when she found herself floating in the river, she immediately began to have troubles. She also immediately remembered Wang Liu, and she didn't know how the child was doing now? Could it really be like Prime Minister Li said, drowning in the water?

She immediately looked back, and saw a child with her eyes closed.

The two had drifted to the bottom of the cliff where the Buddha statue was carved.

Shi Luoyi was very anxious, but she was helpless, she suddenly used all her strength and shouted loudly: "Amitabha, immeasurable heavenly venerable, all kinds of immortals, please come and save us." ”

But there is such a miracle.

As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of wind suddenly swept over the west bank. Shi Luoyi's eyes were hazy, and she felt that an object the size of a dustpan suddenly appeared underwater, scooped up the two of them, and threw them heavily on the shore.

Shi Luoyi fainted again.

Wang Liu never woke up at all.

When Shi Luoyi woke up, she was pleasantly surprised to hear a voice.

It was a cry, but it made her so happy to hear it, and she felt that it was a thousand times better than all the songs in the world. It's like a young mother hearing the cry of her newborn child for the first time. Because she has found out that this crying person is Wang Liu. The child sat on the rock, lying on top of Shi Luoyi, wiping tears from his eyes and calling "Mommy" incessantly.

Shi Luoyi's tears immediately flowed down her white face like jade, and she immediately sat up and hugged the child tightly, holding it so tightly! After a long time, she gently patted Wang Liu's back and said softly, "Baby, mom is here." ”

How warm is the word "mother", and how much tenderness and care is it filled?

Wang Liu also put his arms around Shi Luoyi's neck, he was still sobbing non-stop, and even the snot mixed with tears flowed into Shi Luoyi's collar.

But Shi Luoyi thinks it's all good!

Her tears were flowing quietly. These are tears of joy.

After a long time, their clothes were already dry.

When Shi Luoyi looked up, he immediately saw the Buddha head carved on the cliff.

Shi Luoyi knelt underneath, respectfully, and kowtowed three times. She felt that the one who rescued the two of them from the river must be this immovable, clear and powerful Compassion Master.

She didn't know what this place was, she didn't know how she got here from the deep pool under the waterfall, she didn't know how far she had drifted, she took Wang Liu's hand, groped, and slowly climbed over the stone cliff by the river, and came to a sandy place by the river. She wanted to find a way into the mountains to have a look.

The two of them found a low place to climb up the riverbank, and when they looked up, they saw that there was a good lawn here, covering an area of thirty or fifty acres, all covered with fluffy grass. In the lawn, all kinds of strange shapes of stones stand high and low. A wide stream, chiseled and pierced, leads into living water, "blah-la-la-la" flowing through the lawn. To the north of the lawn, there is a large evergreen bamboo forest, green, and there is no one in the shadows, but the birds are singing. To the west there is a row of uneven old pine trees. There was another stone road by the stream, and I don't know when and who built it? The two of them walked south along the path by the stream, and saw a huge stone, which was split in half by the thunder of the sky at what time, and the interval was one zhang wide. The path passed through the middle of the crack in the stone.

Walking through this stone crevice, I saw that half a mile away in front of me, there were all steep cliffs, and the ancient pine trees were hanging down on the cliffs, and they were densely covered with scattered green vines. When you walk in, there are strange lawns and rocks under the cliffs, and there is a pond in this meadow, which is crystal clear, and there are 100 red carp swimming in it.

Sure enough, it is "Qiu Yan is in the chest, looking at the stacked stones and sparse springs, there is a natural painting", "the pine and green bamboo are really good, and the bright moon and breeze are the old people". This place is so beautiful that it really looks like a fairy realm, but I don't know who is the rule?

The two walked to the bottom of the cliff, and when they looked north, there were high mountains and mountains on both sides of the bamboo forest, covering their vision. On the east side is the big river, and there are high mountains on the other side of the river, and I don't know where to go behind the mountain? Looking at the west side closely, strange rocks are craggy, densely packed with stones, just like a wall built by someone. The two climbed to the stone, and when they looked down, they saw a canyon fifty or sixty zhang wide, and the strange wood could not see the bottom, and the birds and beasts roared endlessly. At this time, the weather was fine, and when the two looked up at the front, they saw that the side of the canyon was about ten miles or so, and the cooking smoke was curling, as if there were people.

When the two of them were looking into the distance, they heard a roar like thunder at the bottom of the valley, which made the hair of the two stand on end, their hearts were frightened, and they couldn't stand. But the tiger could not come up, so he looked at it and walked away.

Shi Luoyi didn't dare to look at it anymore, and hurriedly took Wang Liu's little hand and left.

It's a pity that there is no family populated, surrounded by evil mountains and rivers on all sides, and there is no way out.

Seeing that it was evening again, Shi Luo thought that he had to find a place to stay overnight, so as not to be swallowed by the tiger. After all the hard work to come here, if it becomes the food of the tiger's mouth again, it is really wronged!

Shi Luo led Wang Liu, walked east along the stone slab under the cliff, and suddenly a stone cave appeared in front of him, and the two wooden doors at the entrance of the cave were wide open, and there was a broom and ash bucket at the door. On the grass not far from the cave gate, there is an old pine tree that has been around for a long time. Qing Li Yu's "Idle Love and Occasional Mail" said: "Cangsong ancient cypress, beautiful and old." All flowers and bamboos are noble young people, and the three things of single pine, cypress and plum are the old and the young. "This pine tree is lush and tall. Underneath the old pine, there is a square and flat granite.

Shi Luoyi was happy and scared at the same time, happy that no matter what, there were still people in this place, and what she was afraid of was that she didn't know who lived in such a dangerous place.

In any case, she still had the courage to go to the entrance of the cave, and when she looked inside, there was no one.

Shi Luoyi's heart was beating non-stop, she wanted to see someone, but she was afraid of meeting people like Wu Dashan and Yang Yuhuan again. She wants to meet a friend like Du Liying and Yang Yuqing, or a neighbor like the "non-empty nunnery" Lao Ni.

She finally shouted softly, "Is there anyone inside?" and shouted three times in a row, but no one responded.

Shi Luoyi took Wang Liu's little hand and slowly walked towards the cave. After walking about 20 steps, I saw a cave hall, which could accommodate more than 100 people. There is a wooden table inside, surrounded by rattan chairs, benches, wooden cabinets, and iron frames. There are four stone chambers in the southwest of the cave hall, and the doors are all hung with curtains. On the east side of the river, there is another kitchen, and on the inner side of the cave hall, there are twenty or thirty steps carved in stone, leading to the upper floor.

Shi Luoyi didn't dare to rush in, and shouted softly: "May I ask anyone?" Still no one answered.

Shi Luo thought to herself, could it be that the family had gone out to work and had not yet returned? If they suddenly went in, they would be forced to become thieves and cause trouble. So I had to take the child's hand, and came out of the cave again, unburdened and sat at the entrance of the cave and waited.
