Chapter 24 Companion Reading
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Judging from the surrounding walls, this small garden for owners only does not occupy much land, but in March, when flowers compete for spring, the scenery inside is colorful and beautiful. It is located in the south of the Yangtze River and has many famous flowers, not to mention the state envoy's mansion.
Because of the obstruction of flowers and trees, Tang Li could not see Zheng Paner directly. Naturally, he could not shout loudly, so he slowed down and walked slowly forward with flowers radius on the edge of the surroundings.
The flowers were blooming in front of you and the chicks were singing in your ears. This beautiful scenery only made Tang Li feel relieved. Stepping on the green grass under your feet, Tang Li gradually came to a rose stand with lush branches and vines. The boy was about to come forward to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the flowers fighting for beauty, but he heard a whisper from the vine wall beside him.
Stopped and clasped, and opened the Yeyuan on the flowering vine to look. Not far from next door, under the white pear tree, there was a woman with white body standing tall. She was so dazed that she didn't know how long she had been standing under the tree, so that there were more than a dozen pear blossoms with shallow petals on the seven-thick skirt. The most naughty thing was that two of them were just hanging on her naturally flowing black hair. Two snow-white spots were black, which was a bit pretty.
The golden light of the sunset passed through the flower vine wall in front of Tang Li, and shone with golden spots on the dress. The black hair was as if a layer of gold was permed on, and the plain white long skirt was dazzling under the reflection, which seemed to have a bright silver-drifting aperture for her whole body. Suddenly, a soft spring breeze hit, and the petals of pear blossoms flew away, and the white skirt also swung slowly. In March, under the flower trees, the woman with no trace of fireworks in the soft wind of the sunset was like a flying goddess on the painting wall of the Galen Temple, floating.
Although it was just a back, Tang Li felt the purest beauty. However, this kind of plain white beauty as Qiong Yao was so incompatible with the lively and blooming flowers around him, which made the boy involuntarily remember her experience. In an instant, an inexplicable sadness surged into his heart.
A sighed in his heart while his head turned his head, and Tang Li, who was concentrating again, heard the woman's murmur faintly:
The peach and plum blossoms in the east of Luoyang City, who will fly around and fall? The daughter of Luoyang cherishes the color and often sighs when she sees the fallen flowers. The color of the flowers falls this year, and who will be there next year? I have seen the pines and cypresses destroy them as firewood, and I also heard that the mulberry fields have become vast seas. The ancients did not return to the east of Luocheng, but now people see the fallen flowers. The flowers are similar every year, but people are different every year...
It turned out that what she chanted softly was the famous Yuefu chapter of Liu Xiyi, a poet of the early Tang Dynasty.
Such a woman chanted such songs in such seasons, such weather, and such environments. Even though Tang Li was frustrated and thought that his heart was as strong as gold and stone, he could not help but feel the feeling in his heart. Looking at the beauty in front of him and feeling the artistic conception of the poem, he had completely forgotten his purpose when he came. Once his heart entered the country, he was in a daze for a moment.
Under the golden brilliance of the sunset, the girl in white under the pear tree and the boy in herb dressed in roses stood quietly under the golden rose. At this moment, even the birds stopped their melodious singing voices. The small garden was silent, and only the gentle whimpering sound of the spring breeze passing by the leaves became more and more conspicuous of such a peaceful tranquility...
…………………………
Perhaps it was a moment of time, or perhaps it was a long time later, a cry of a young bird broke the silence in the garden. Tang Li looked through the flower wall, but saw a young swallow suddenly falling from the toon tree next to the pear blossoms that the woman stood. Fortunately, the branches blocked it. It had just grown all the feathers and did not die. It moved its small body in pain and wanted to stand up in vain. And among the branches of the toon tree, there was also the same young bird hanging on the branches, shaking in the air, and the tender yellow beak made a horror and helpless cry.
The two white plain hands clasped their hands and picked up the young swallow struggling on the ground. With a whispering soothing sound, the overly frightened little guy slowly settled down and looked up at the other young swallow crying among the high branches. Although his face was covered with white veil, Tang Li still felt her anxiety.
After walking a few steps forward and turning over the flower wall, Tang Li smiled at the woman, and said nothing more. He stroked his clothes and turned around and crawled towards the tree.
After Tang Li climbed onto the first big branch, the woman in white seemed to react. She turned around and wanted to leave. She looked at the overturning swallow nest between the toon tree and the two young swallows in her hands and in the air. Finally, she stopped again and looked up at Tang Li who was moving forward a little by little.
Last night, a spring rain made the branches slippery, climbing from the third large horizontal branch to the right. He grew up in the mountains of Guizhou. Tang Li, who was arrogant and arrogant, was careless. He stepped on the empty hand and his body suddenly fell. While scaring him to sweat, he also heard a scream below. He hugged the tree trunk tightly with both hands and looked down. He saw the woman in white covering her mouth with one hand, and her two eyes as if she was like a spring mountain, staring at him tightly.
Seeing the worry in these eyes, Tang Li's face turned red and he cursed himself in his heart: "It's embarrassing, it's embarrassing!" He cheered up his whole heart, hooked his legs and arms, and crawled forward again.
"She is looking at me, she is looking at me down!" As he walked forward, his eyes like a distant mountain suddenly flashed, and this thought suddenly appeared in Tang Li's mind, and then he felt that his body felt inexplicably hot. With just a flash of energy, the movements were deformed, and the boy almost fell off the tree again. After blushing his face and cursing himself secretly, he gathered his energy and successfully completed the subsequent movements.
Holding the trembling chicks with one hand, Tang Li, who jumped off the tree, put down his clothes before walking forward, and just walked to the woman. As a tragic thing, he took the lead and said, "I have been unfamiliar with my hands and feet for a few years. I have made the lady laugh. I am not afraid of any taller tree when I was a child." After saying this, he even reached out and touched the back of his head. Such childish actions were indeed rare when he appeared on the boy.
Carefully took the chick from Tang Li's hand, and the woman in white said in a polite manner: "Thank you, Mr. Tang."
"What did I say just now?" Tang Li was ashamed of his inexplicable words and deeds just now. When he heard Zheng Lianqing'er say this, he immediately continued to say, "I'm not a young man, just call me Ali." After saying this, he secretly regretted in his heart: "Why do you want to answer so quickly? There is no politeness at all."
His ten fingers were as thin as spring onions. From the perspective of Tang Li standing, every small moon bud on his slender fingertips was clearly visible. Looking at such a pair of hands, the boy lowered his head slightly and looked at his green hands covered with tree sap, and he had quietly shrank behind him in the silent place.
