little city

Chapter 19

Spring in the south of the Yangtze River is earlier than that in the north. The parks, streets and alleys are full of flowers, peach blossoms and cherry blossoms are the most urgent. Seeing the buds just come out, the streets are full of flowers overnight, and the small town is full of new vitality.

After her last birthday, Jing Shu's condition has obviously improved a lot. She started to go back to class, and also participated in the activities of the Zen Society, but the content of her daily conversations cannot escape impermanence, karma, reincarnation, and separation.She has gradually drifted away in the Buddha's world.

April is my birthday, and that day happened to be another weekend, and we went to Taihu Lake to play together.

We took the bus to the Taihu Lake and entered through the gate. There was a large Sino-Japanese friendship cherry blossom forest. It was the season when the cherry blossoms were in full bloom. It was like walking into a pink ocean.Jing Shu danced happily in the forest like a child, smiling and dancing, more beautiful than cherry blossoms.

Going further, it is a mountain climbing road, the road is wide and gentle, and cars drive by from time to time.We walked into the path next to it. The path in the forest was winding, only enough for one person to pass, the forest was lush, and the sun could only cast a little bit of light.

I held Jingshu's hand and walked ahead. The path had no end in sight, and there were no other tourists in front or behind. The two of them held hands even tighter.After walking for about half an hour, the front opened up, and I had already climbed to the top of the mountain. I saw an octagonal pagoda in front of me. There was an inscription in front of the pagoda, which read the four characters "Lu Ding Ying Hui".We walked around the pagoda and climbed up the pavilion.

Looking up, you can see the blue waves of Taihu Lake in the distance, the lake is rippling, and the small island in the middle of the lake is like a fairyland.Walking around the back of the tower, you can see mountains surrounded by a long bridge across the lake. There are scattered small lakes around the big lake, connected by streams in the middle, and the lakes and streams are staggered. Residential houses in the south of the Yangtze River are scattered on the side of the mountain and by the lake.Life endows beauty with spirituality, and beauty endows life with comfort. Between mountains and rivers, the meaning of life is looming.

We were all fascinated by the sight in front of us, we couldn't stop marveling, and we didn't want to come down for a long time.I hurriedly took out my camera and left precious memories.

Down the hill along the main road, we started walking towards the lake.At the top of the mountain, there were few people. I didn't expect that there were so many tourists by the lake, it was like going to a market.People from all over the world come here admiringly, crowding towards the lake, they don't know that the most beautiful scenery is on the top of the mountain.But if everyone goes to the top of the mountain to see the beautiful scenery, perhaps the most beautiful scenery will be by the lake again.

Going forward, there is a gate tower, passing through the gate tower, pavilions, terraces and pavilions, winding bridges and clear streams, it is so beautiful.Looking forward, there is a cliff on the edge of the lake, and the lake water rises up against the shore, as if facing the sea.

Going forward, there is a stone animal with four different shapes. Everyone gathers here and throws money on the stone back desperately.At first glance, this stone sculpture looks like a tortoise, but upon closer inspection, it turns out to be a dragon's head, a tortoise's body, tiger claws, and a fish's tail. This is the legendary turtle.

We walked all the way to the end, and there was an ancient temple on the hillside, with a yellow wall facing Taihu Lake, which was extremely eye-catching.Standing at the gate of the temple, overlooking the Taihu Lake, the mist is vast and the shadow of the sail is undulating.Entering the gate of the temple, the traditional pattern inside is small, deserted and quiet.Going east out of the temple gate, there is a plain noodle restaurant under the shade of a bamboo forest. At noon, there are many people queuing up to eat noodles, and we also came with two bowls of noodles.

Turn back along the original road and take the bus back to school.The bus was driving erratically, dangling back and forth, and occasionally, my face would touch Jing Shu's hair, my heart was so tight that I hugged Jing Shu in my arms. .

In the evening, Jiang Tao said that he would celebrate for me. I am already 20 years old, and the age at the beginning of the word will always become the past tense.There is absolutely no way I will live to be 100, I thought.

That day, we went to a newly opened KTV in the city and rented a large private room. Jiang Tao and Dongdong came, Lingling and Jiaxin also came. They seemed to be stuck together forever. Friends, all with their own objects, all dressed in fashion.

Taking this opportunity, I officially introduced Jingshu to everyone, saying that she was my friend, and emphasized that it was just a friend, but everyone still booed and asked us to kiss each other.I have been silently protecting this relationship, not daring to bring Jingshu to see my friends, fearing that Jingshu would make things difficult, and finally I couldn't escape, but I didn't expect that Jingshu took the initiative to give me a hug.

Afterwards, everyone habitually played dice. I couldn't figure out what was so fun about that game, and I couldn't get interested, so I accompanied Jingshu and listened to others singing quietly.

That night, Jiang Tao still played with Jiaxin all the time, Lingling sat quietly next to Jiang Tao, Jingshu and I were together, Dongdong didn't sing or play dice, just sat there in a daze, without a trace of existence feel.

Between singing, I went out to the bathroom, and went to the door to get some air.I regretted that I shouldn't have gone out that day, because at the moment I was standing at the gate, I suddenly saw Jiang Tao and Jiaxin kissing heartily at the corner not far away.I was nervous, so I hurried back to the KTV. Lingling was still sitting quietly in her original position, and another girl was singing duet with her boyfriend.

I suddenly felt that Lingling was so pitiful, so I went to sit next to Lingling and had a drink with her.Although Lingling has a superior family background, outstanding appearance, elegant personality, gentleness and kindness, she cannot escape emotional betrayal.I can't help feeling deeply sad for her, and also for life.

After Jiang Tao and Jiaxin came back, they pretended to be nonchalant, and started playing dice and drinking again.

Later, the waiter brought a birthday cake, which was bought by Jiang Tao.For some reason, facing a friend like Jiang Tao, I don't know how to deal with it at this moment.I was very moved, but very sad.

The lights went out, the candles were lit, and the box became quiet. I silently wished that Jingshu would get better soon, but the picture of Jiang Tao and Jiaxin kissing appeared again and again, which made me feel sick.

The birthday cake was divided into many small pieces. I handed Jiang Tao a piece first, but Jiang Tao slapped me on the face. Everyone laughed.I had resentment in my heart, but I was instantly irritated, so I picked up a piece of cake to fight back and patted Jiang Tao's body.The whole box was caught in a cake war.

After the quarrel, the birthday party is over, but youth never ends.
