Chapter 20: A Small Fishing Village
It is said that Ding Cheng went east to the shore of Dianchi Lake. Seeing that Dianchi Lake is endless, the water is deep blue, just like returning to the shore of Erhai Lake in Dali. Thinking of the past with Rong'er on the shore of Erhai Lake, I couldn't help but feel sad in my heart.
There are many fishing boats docked near the lake, and many fishing boats are heading towards the shore, and the fishermen have been fishing on the lake for a day, and then they are rejoicing and returning with a full load. A touch of sunset afterglow obliquely shines on the sparkling lake, reflecting a piece of golden yellow and the glow of the sky, which is "a remnant sun in the water, half of the river and half of the red". On the other side of the sunset, a crescent moon can't wait to hang in the sky, showing a faint silver color. Ding Cheng looked at the lake blankly, and said in his mouth: "The tide of the Spring River is even with the sea, and the bright moon on the sea is born together. Thousands of miles with the waves, where is there no moon in the spring river?"
A person beside him then chanted: "The river flows around Fangdian, and the moonlight flowers and forests are like hail. The frost in the air does not fly, and the white sand on the Ting cannot be seen. Good poetry, good poetry!"
Ding Cheng suddenly heard someone chanting the verses, and turned his head to look at the man. I saw that the man was twenty-seven or eighteen years old, dressed in a coarse cloth robe, with a hairband on his head, elegant and handsome, and an extraordinary temperament, which was very different from ordinary fishermen. Ding Cheng hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted, and the man returned the salute and said: "In Xia Qin Feihe, he saw that his brother's spirit was extraordinary, but his face was sad, and he was chanting poetry here, so he couldn't help but answer, and he hoped that Brother Tai would not be blamed." ”
Ding Cheng hurriedly said: "Where is it, in Xia Ding Cheng, Brother Tai is too polite!"
Qin Feihe said: "Brother Ding, it's really sad to worry about being here alone, it's better to go to the village with me to drink three cups of him, and get drunk to relieve a thousand sorrows!"
Ding Cheng said: "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, that is, if you are destined to meet Brother Qin, what's the harm in drinking him a thousand cups?"
Qin Feihe laughed and led the way. Ding Cheng secretly said that this person is somewhat similar to Brother Ma, and if the two of them can get acquainted, they will be happy.
Qin Feihe led Ding Cheng to a village by the lake. The village is not large, and there are about more than ten small farm yards gathered together. Qin Feihe took Ding Cheng into one of the small courtyards, and a woman greeted him and said, "He'er is back." Seeing Ding Cheng beside him, he blessed Ding Cheng again.
Qin Feihe said: "Nurse, there are guests tonight, I want to trouble you to get some snacks and dishes to make it lively." ”
The woman agreed. Qin Feihe welcomed Ding Cheng into the room and sat down, and said, "The small house is simple, not as luxurious and beautiful as the rich family's compound, and I hope Brother Ding will not dislike it." ”
Ding Cheng said: "Although the house is simple, it is warm to live in, with good friends and wine, what else can you ask for." ”
Qin Feihe said: "This is what I want, it can be seen that Brother Ding is also a man of temperament." However, I saw that Brother Ding seemed to be sad between his eyebrows, and the poem he chanted by the lake just now was also a little sentimental, so I took the liberty of asking, what is on Brother Ding's mind?"
Ding Cheng said: "There have indeed been some things that are difficult to let go of these days, just by the lake, because of the touching of the scene, I remembered some of the past, and I couldn't help but chant two verses of the ancients to express the mood at that time." ”
Qin Feihe said: "The past that Brother Ding remembered must be very beautiful. Don't hide it from Brother Ding, I often think of some beautiful scenes in the past, and I will also sigh deeply because of this, the so-called past is gone, but it is good to leave some good memories. ”
Ding Cheng said: "Brother Qin must also be a person with a story!"
