Because I got up early, I slept a lot as soon as I got on the bus. It was cloudy in Changsha in those days, and the window was foggy. The scenery outside is so vague that I can't see it clearly. It was quiet in the car, so I squinted and took a nap in my seat.
After driving at high speed, both sides of the road are green. In cloudy weather, green is cold. There are many hills in Hunan, and there are no mountains. Only high and low green are seen all the way. On the green hills, Shan Lan rolled into the sky like a white gauze, and then Shan Lan melted into the sky, blending with the gray clouds. What is the charm of Castle Peak can be seen from a distance. Watching too much will inevitably lead to aesthetic fatigue. After reading it for a while, I felt sleepy. I slept all the way, stopped for two breaks, and ate in one place when I arrived in Jiangxi at noon.
When I left Changsha, I suddenly found that the weather had changed a lot. It's cloudy in Changsha, but sunny in Jiangxi. Although it is sunny, it is not too hot, sunny and sunny, which makes people feel happy.
Get in the car before you go. At this time, the distance is nearly two-thirds, and I am sleepy in the afternoon. It seems that the most tiring thing about long-distance driving is that I sit bored, and the scenery outside the window is the same.
After several tunnels, I saw the gray wall and the horse head wall in the distance, and I knew I had arrived in Anhui.
At seven o'clock the next morning, I entered Hongcun. I saw a flat lake with lotus leaves and a boat moored. In the distance, the mountains are hazy, and the air is filled with the breath of Shan Lan. There is an arch by the lake. Only by walking a few steps behind the archway and entering the door can we really enter the village.
The village is a typical Huizhou architecture with blue tiles, white walls and red lanterns. Horsehead wall, ancestral temple, residential building, embroidered building, small garden ... Some roadside walls have fallen off, revealing the gray-black color below, and the mottled walls have a long sense of time.
Tourists are everywhere. There are many people, and there are many people on the last day of the National Day holiday. The weather is fine.
On the third day, I went to Xidi completely from the inside out, which was different from the tour of the tour guide. I walked around alone, everywhere, inside and out. Today's Xidi is still sunny. After the National Day, most tourists have gone back. The residential alleys are mottled with light and shadow, quiet and peaceful, which really has the charm of an ancient town.
There are many cats in the ancient town. They are all purebred China pastoral cats, pale yellow, gray, black and white ... They are squatting not far away and looking at you with their chin up. When you run to touch it, it will run away lightly.
There are also kittens, a small group of furry, timid people approaching you, looking up at the meowing of food in your hand, which makes people feel soft.
Go to Li Xiu on the fourth day. This is a shooting base. It's beautiful, with few tourists and quiet. There is a stage in it, which occupies an empty space. The scenery on the stage has been dusty for a long time. A plaque in the middle celebrates the whole world, with a general on the left and a photo on the right.
After a long corridor, I can smell a sweet-scented osmanthus. There is a osmanthus tree at the exit of the promenade, which is full of osmanthus, and there are also osmanthus trees in the scenic spot. At the right time, osmanthus fragrance is everywhere, and the fragrance is overflowing.
The boat by the lake, hanging lanterns, stopped in the reflection of blue tiles and white walls on the lake, quietly.
It's really not easy when one walks slowly through those alleys. After years of wind and rain, this old house is in a state of disrepair. Time has settled, the wall has peeled off, and the color has faded, as if running water had hit it, taking away memories and leaving traces.
Although the ancestors who lived here guarded it year after year, tourists came and went, residents were born and died, and buildings would age and collapse. What else is eternal?
Not forever
