My green plums are very sour

Although it was a trip in the high and crisp autumn season, the wind by the reservoir really made us shiver with cold.

Autumn has always been the shortest season of the year. The tail of summer is too long, and there is only a little time left for golden autumn. After the autumn is over, the wind and cold will soon start to blow, and winter will enter in a few days.

On the morning of the trip, we all woke up early, put on thick sweaters and double-sided jackets with cotton under the instructions of our respective mothers.

The sweater was knitted by my grandma. My mother bought several catties of wool at one go and came back. The three of us each wore one, and we wore it like sisters of a family.The first time we wore clothes to school together, Qiu Zicheng laughed all day long, A Rui always felt that he was jealous of us.

In those few years, everyone didn’t have a car at home, and they all relied on their fathers riding motorcycles to travel far.

The three of us were sandwiched between our parents, huddled behind our father to avoid the oncoming cold wind, and yelled at the top of our lungs along the way, the dry cold air poured into our throats like a handful of fine sand, shouting If you go out, you will be blown by the shaving wind, and immediately dissipate in the rumbling sound of the motor.

Knowing that neither of us can hear what we are saying, we still enjoy competing to see who has the loudest voice.

The mothers persuaded me for a long time to no avail, so they simply gave up and let us laugh and shout all the way, coughing and crying while being choked by the cold wind.

By the time we arrived at the destination, A Rui and I's throats were as dry as if we hadn't drank water for three days.Ning Ran was a little better. In front of Uncle Ning and his wife, she has always been relatively self-controlled. Although she is very cooperative with us, she is not as heart-rending as we are. She just keeps coughing and laughing until her eyes almost disappear. Don't forget to wipe away the teardrops accumulated in the corners of your eyes.

The wide reservoir is surrounded by a large flat beach, with some yellowed withered grass growing sparsely, and some places have cracked, which should be exposed and dried by the wind after the water level dropped.

The trees on the surrounding hillsides are mostly tough green, occasionally mixed with some golden yellow, and the places you can see are mixed coniferous forests and broad-leaved forests.

While the fathers were preparing fishing gear, the three of us greeted our parents and ran away along the path arm in arm.

The path by the reservoir is usually not walked by many people, it is just a path stepped in the weeds, only enough for one person to pass, and if you are not careful, your pants will be hung by the thorny branches next to it.

The autumn sun hangs high in the sky, and the whole world is illuminated very transparently, but there is not much warmth on the body.

On the wide water surface next to it, the wind continued to blow towards the shore, and the waves brought by it hit the shore and rolled up circles of ripples.The shadows reflected on the water are all indistinct.

When the wind blows through the woods, you can hear the rustling of the leaves. The fallen leaves piled up on the ground are rolled up, fluttered twice in the air, and then fall lightly.

We seldom come to these places, but once in a long time, it feels really fresh.

A Rui dragged me and Ning Ran to run for a while among the fallen leaves and withered grass on the ground, and stopped when we got bored. The three of them supported their thighs with their hands, panted heavily, looked at each other, and laughed loudly with their heads up. I don't know what they are laughing at.

The hair that was combed docilely when I went out has long been messed up by the strong wind. I wiped it with the palm of my hand. Before it was smoothed for a few minutes, another gust of wind blew it. It was useless to wipe it.

We simply gave up taking care of ourselves, and stood on the slope with our hair blown in the wind, facing the direction of the reservoir and taking a deep breath.

"It's so beautiful here." A Rui looked at the water with bright eyes and hopeful expression on his face.

"Well, it's all natural." I nodded in agreement.

Ning Ran turned to look at the two of us, and said with a smile, "Since when did you start to be lyrical? It's your style to throw yourself into the pile of fallen leaves and roll around?"

When Ah Rui and I heard this, we immediately smiled maliciously, grabbed Ning Ran's hands from left to right, and rolled to the ground, scaring her to bury her head down with a "ah".

The three of them huddled together and fell on their backs on the ground. The dead leaves piled up on the ground were crunched by us.

Ning Ran finally struggled to sit up, looked at us with helplessness and amused expression, took a breath and quickly stood up, bowed his head and carefully patted the ashes off his body.

She usually plays and plays, but she pays great attention to the cleanliness of her clothes. It is really rare to get covered in ashes like this.

A Rui and I were both tired from the fall, sitting cross-legged on the ground to rest, just now we were sweating because of fighting, and the wind quickly turned cold, the more we sweat, the faster the heat loss now.

Within minutes we were both shaking.

A Rui rubbed her hands and hugged herself, "I feel a little cold now, the wind is blowing straight into my neckline."

Ning Ran turned his back to the direction the wind was blowing from, touched his arm, and took two hissing breaths, but he didn't seem to be warm enough.

I laughed and said mysteriously: "I have a way to keep warm."

They both stared at me curiously.

"I've already prepared it." I took out a box of matches and a newspaper folded into small squares from my trouser pocket, with a proud face, "I secretly brought it when I went out. We can make a fire, so that Don't be afraid of the cold."

In fact, I have been wanting to do this for a long time. I usually see people cooking in the open fire on TV programs, which makes me yearn for it very much. I always think that I can try it myself sometime.However, there is no such environment and atmosphere in the city. This trip is a rare opportunity. Although it is not possible to set up a pot to cook, it is still possible to light a fire to keep warm, right?

The day before I went out, I rummaged through the boxes and cabinets at home to find the tools needed to start the fire.My dad doesn't have the habit of smoking, and he doesn't even have a lighter at home. In the end, he only found a box of matches for lighting candles during a power outage.Referring to the fire scene in my memory, I felt that I should prepare some combustion aids, so I found another flammable newspaper, folded it into a small cube and hid it.

As for what to burn after lighting the fire, it is even simpler.There are fallen leaves all over the ground this season, are you still worried about finding fuel?

I knelt on the ground and collected a large handful of withered and yellow leaves, piled them into a cone, and ordered A Rui to collect the fallen leaves next to me for future use.

A Rui responded blankly and was about to make a move, but was stopped by Ning Ran.

"Wait a moment."

I also stopped what I was doing and looked up at her, not knowing what she was going to do.

Ning Ran wrapped her coat tightly around her body, stared at the leaves that I gathered into a pile on the ground, and said hesitantly, "Isn't that bad?"

I thought she was worried about being scolded by her parents, so she still smiled and replied, "Don't worry, we are so far away, we won't be discovered by our parents."

A Rui also relaxed after hearing what I said, and was still going to collect the fallen leaves next to her.

"That's not the problem." Ning Ran frowned slightly, and squatted down, "Playing with fire is too dangerous, accidents are easy to happen."

Of course I know that there will be dangers, but sometimes children just don't listen to persuasion, and they don't listen to what they say.

I began to feel a little unhappy, and the corners of my mouth were pulled down and I didn't speak.

A Rui looked at us, stood still cautiously, not daring to make a sound.

Seeing that I was not convinced, Ning Ran continued: "Look, there are fallen leaves everywhere here, and the wind keeps blowing. What if the fire catches up and burns up the whole area?"

"And it's even more dangerous if the fire starts too fast and we injure ourselves."

I didn't look at her with a sullen face, and kept scratching the matchbox in my hand.

A Rui also squatted down at this time, gently tugged at my sleeve, and whispered to persuade: "Shu Yu, otherwise forget it. Let's play something else."

"Hmph." I glared at her, muttering, still unwilling to give up, "Isn't it just lighting a fire for fun, it's not like we haven't done dangerous things before."

Now Ning Ran was also a little angry, with a rare seriousness in his voice: "But this time, this mistake must never be made."

The atmosphere froze immediately, I knew she was staring at me, but I didn't want to communicate with her at all, like a cow in a dead end, knowing that I might be making a mistake, but I didn't want to admit it or regress.

A Rui was in a hurry, she kept winking at me and mouthing to tell me not to make trouble with Ning Ran.

Originally, I was just a little embarrassed and stubbornly wanted to give it a try, but when A Rui persuaded me like this, I felt aggrieved, as if I was isolated.

Don't I know that what Ning Ran said is the truth?How can it be.

Their opposition made me feel like I had caused a catastrophe.

I exhaled heavily from my nostrils, raised my head with a displeased face, and happened to meet Ning Ran's serious look.

"Also, if you play with fire, you will wet the bed at night."

With a sudden pause, I jumped up, kicked away the piled up fallen leaves, turned around and raised my feet.

"Go!" I said impatiently.

The two of them followed immediately, and the three returned to the place where their parents were fishing without saying a word.

When the adults saw that the atmosphere was not right when we came back, and we were so quiet, they asked what was going on.

Naturally, I didn't make a sound, and A Rui was also a little stunned, not knowing whether to speak or not.

But Ning Ran replied without changing his face: "There is a section of the road on the hillside over there that is very steep. We just fell there and haven't recovered yet."

"Be careful, don't run around later."

The adults probably believed Ning Ran's words because they saw the dust and mud marks on our bodies.

At this time, I just pretended to pat the mud on my knees, moved a small saddle and sat in front of the fishing rod, and felt the matchbox stuffed back through the fabric of my trousers, which was really frightening.
