The Yangs have been living on a mountain far away for generations, on the top of a lake and beside a dragon pond. It's the border between Province A and Province B, about thirty miles away from our town. It's vast and rich, but it's deserted. " Moreover, this mysterious village has a long-standing legend. I once heard the legend of the lake and mountain from the older generation. It says that a few hundred years ago, there was a temple on the lake and mountain, and an abbot lived there. This monk was kind and charitable, and was very respected by the surrounding people. After he passed away, the sarira turned into a fire dragon and stayed in the dragon pool, continuing to protect the surrounding villagers. Moreover, if a kind person begged him to agree to something, it would work. On the contrary, if a bad person begged him, he would be punished.
Regardless of whether the legend was true or false, it gave the village a layer of mystery, and we children firmly believed in it. So when I mentioned this legend, everyone agreed that it was true, and everyone decided to wait for Yang Yang to answer our curiosity.
The seven of us gathered early and set off. Because they estimated that they would have to walk for more than half a day, everyone brought enough dry food. There was no food for lunch, and there were no wild fruits on the mountain to satisfy their hunger in spring. He didn't need to bring water. There were many cold springs and winding streams on the mountain.
His friends would occasionally exchange a few words, and along the way, they would laugh and laugh nonstop. I was just discussing the scenery with Su Xiao and the others, ignoring Luo Feng and Shan Ting behind me. They obviously had something they didn't tell me. I guessed that their relationship was extraordinary, but I didn't know what it was. I sincerely treated you as a friend, but you hid it from me and even lied to me. I definitely couldn't tolerate such a thing happening, so the care I had for the two of them was greatly reduced.
The scenery along the way was really beautiful. From the middle of the mountain, it felt completely different from the bottom of the mountain. Although it was already warm spring, the mountain was not as full of flowers as we had imagined. Very few people stepped on the path overgrown with weeds. Occasionally, one or two unknown wildflowers would stick to your shoes, as if they represented the flowers, trees, birds, and beasts that were welcoming guests from afar. At the beginning of the stream, it beat the beat happily and played a pleasant symphony unique to the mountain forest. From time to time, birds were attracted to stop to drink water. After drinking, they did not forget to play a piece of accompaniment. If he was lucky, he could occasionally find a peach red tree or a pear white tree among the bushes on the opposite cliff. In this green mountain and green water, it was very eye-catching and exceptionally charming.
This mountain was like a leisurely paradise. The air was filled with the fragrance of wildflowers and the fragrance of soil. The scenery was beautiful and beautiful. This beautiful scenery was intoxicating, and it seemed to have some kind of magic that made us unable to help but forget the happiness and unhappiness of coming here, and feel more clear in body and mind. Being in it, it was as if he had transcended the mortal world. He was even more unstained and dressed in white.
After being intoxicated for a long time, everyone regained their senses and continued to move forward. Although his footsteps were getting heavier and heavier, his heart was getting more and more excited and expectant. After witnessing the enchanting scenery along the way, everyone had a better mentality of always being the last to move forward, so they were not that tired. After three hours, they had walked about half the distance. Everyone was so tired that they were panting. Seeing that it was already noon, he decided to rest for a while.
Yang Yang said that there was a pavilion halfway up the mountain. This was a straw shed built by the people on the mountain for pedestrians to shelter from the wind and rain and rest in the cool. Everyone looked forward and saw a straw shed not far away. They were all excited and rushed over to sit on the simple stools. This straw hut was extremely simple. There were only four " stools " and a round table. The table was a flat stone, supported by stone pillars. Perhaps it was because of the age, after experiencing countless wind and thunder, sun and rain, the table was covered with dark green moss. The so-called " stools " were just four stone blocks with a flat surface.
Those who didn't manage to get a seat in time could only sit on the ground. Unfortunately, the only ones left were me, Shan Ting, and Luo Feng. I looked for a clean place, blew away the dust, and sat on the ground. Luo Feng found an empty space next to me and sat down. Shan Ting, on the other hand, walked to the opposite side of us and sat down in a huff. She chatted happily with Zhu Li and the others and ignored us. At this moment, everyone was tired and hungry. They all took out the snacks and drinks that they had prepared in advance and began to eat. Of course, they did not forget to share them with others, so there was another round of joy.
Previously, I had been immersed in the beautiful scenery, and Luo Feng was walking with Shan Ting. I didn't have any contact with him. Only then did I notice him. Although I was angry, I still inadvertently glanced at his injured hand. It would have been fine if I hadn't looked, but now, I realized that his hand was wrapped in a snow-white silk cloth. I recognized that silk cloth, it was Shan Ting's. Only she would use this kind of thing. In the past, we used to laugh at her for being a little more quiet and quiet. She really looked like a young lady from an ancient family. Seeing that they had become so close, I couldn't help but feel wronged. He hid everything from me and treated me like something, especially Luofeng. To think that I felt guilty and worried for a long time. From the looks of it, he deserved it. Thinking of this, I couldn't be bothered with him anymore. As for his injury, I didn't feel guilty at all. I felt at ease that he was in the wrong first.
Before I could retract my gaze, Luo Feng had seen everything. He looked at me with eager eyes for a long time. Finally, he sighed slightly and said to me very seriously,"Ran, I know you're very curious, but I've always treated you as my best friend. I don't want my matter to affect your friendship with her.”After saying that, he looked at Shan Ting, who had an extremely ugly expression on her face, as if he was talking to her.
I didn't know that he was so straightforward. I didn't know how to reply for a moment. I could only avoid his gaze and awkwardly change the topic."Eat something. There's still water here!”She took out a bottle of water from her bag and handed it to him. Then, she turned away from him and ate her bread alone.
Seeing me running away like this, Luo Feng didn't know what to say and could only remain silent.
As we were eating and preparing to leave, the sky started to thunder. There was plenty of rain in spring, so the sunny sky changed quickly. Soon, it began to rain. It looked like the rain wouldn't stop anytime soon, so they could only wait. I was both excited and helpless about this result. I like the rain, especially now that I can finally experience the fun of listening to the rain in the deep forest. I naturally can't wait. However, there was nothing I could do about it. Luofeng was following me closely, making it impossible for me to calm down and concentrate. As a result, it became a kind of torture.
The spring rain was always endless, and the waiting process was even more annoying. Fortunately, the rain stopped after an hour, which was rare. Perhaps it felt our irritation and impatience and didn't want us to get bored of it, so it treated it as welcoming us and stopped after the performance.
After the rain, the forest looked even more lush, and the air was especially fresh. The flowers, plants, and trees that had been washed clean of the lead seemed to have been plated with new green. It was pleasing to the eye and refreshing. The sun smiled, the clouds gradually dispersed, and the field of vision gradually widened. We also followed the sound and walked towards the stream. We got wet from the rain on the flowers and grass on the way, but no one cared. We walked to the side of the stream, and the sunlight shone on the splashing water. It refracted and reflected all kinds of colors, forming a beautiful arch bridge that was very dazzling.
The sun always came after the storm, and there would always be a beautiful rainbow. This time, he could truly experience it for himself. This trip was not in vain. After admiring the rainbow, we filled the bottle with the clear and sweet stream water. After all, we were still halfway there.
As they climbed up slowly, the temperature dropped. The closer they got to the top of the mountain, the more they could feel the aura of winter. The temperature on the mountain was always lower than at the foot of the mountain. Moreover, spring always came later on the mountain top. This time, it was no different from winter. However, we couldn't feel the cold because climbing the mountain was always hot and sweaty. The only thing he could see was the dangling ice bars, the creaking sounds of stepping on the ground, and the occasional icicles of running water, all of which indicated that it was still winter on the mountain.
Another four hours passed and we reached the top of the mountain. What greeted our eyes was a pool of green water. The water was so clear that we could see the bottom. There was even white smoke rising from it. We all knew that this was the Dragon Pool. In the blink of an eye, he saw a few small houses sitting by the lake. They had green bricks and tiles, and smoke curled up from the chimneys. We were all extremely exhausted. Now that we saw our destination, we cheered crazily. Our shouts broke the silence of the mountains. I first saw a familiar figure coming out of the hut. It was Yang Yang. He waved at me from the lakeside and shouted,"Xiran, here! Come quickly!" Hearing his shout, we all ran away.
All we needed now was rest. Our exhausted bodies prevented us from fully appreciating the beautiful scenery in front of us. Therefore, he decided to fill his stomach first and rest for a while before exploring.
Yang Yang welcomed us into the room. His parents knew that we were coming, so they prepared a table full of delicious food. The few of us ate happily. After eating and drinking their fill, they sat around the fire and chatted.
We'll stay at Yang Yang's house tonight, and we'll visit the mountains and rivers the next day. Although I didn't tell my family, I asked Aunt Luo to send a message to my family in advance. I told them that Luofeng had brought me to Grandma's house to play and that I was staying there. Therefore, I wasn't worried. Everyone was sitting comfortably by the fire, drinking their home-brewed rice wine and chatting.
