Summer day, perfect mountain climbing with friends Feier Xiangxi Phoenix.
This is the origin of the ancient city of Phoenix, according to "From the text of his autobiography" in the statement, "only because of over two hundred years ago when the people rule the land of China for the remnants of the Miao Zhen Fu and murder, sent a team of Xu Ting Tuen soldier stationed in a square with the Castle and the residents. " Encountered during this trip to local forest teacher, a more detailed explanation of why the called the "Phoenix": Was stationed themselves at the Phoenix Mountain黄丝桥古城, only for residents of the growing, yellow silk Bridge, inadequate water supplies, move east until to move, so, in da water's edge have the "Phoenix" city.
Because of the relationship between the holidays, arriving three days earlier than the fir town Phoenix. As a result, the daytime would hold maps, everybody in town to four roaming the land, or to the nearby attractions, climb the hills, surrounded by mountains in the Miao Village to see the scenery at the bottom of clear streams barefoot thump thump to wade play; night sitting on "the ancient city of Rye" bar, facing the water gurgling sound of the Tuo, a cup of coffee to see the Internet landscape, feeling the cool water Tuojiang slowly infiltrated the air from the window bars.
In this way, living in the town for three days, until gradually a point of taste to products.
Phoenix, because of its very human colors, rich in history and culture is known. In fact, the so-called history, the so-called culture, and most of the pages inside, between the lines, and people's memories, so many years of wind and rain, how many of landscapes never come back? Blazing in the quartzite walked the streets, do not expect anything, just want to see if those who are not deliberately to preserve, but it still can be eroded through the years have survived things, watching people leisurely life of the city, thinking Shen From the pen to do next with its share it all as human, but always be "Heaven" and make fun of the border town. This is life, this style which I have never experienced, nor have the chance to experience the the. Far, and looked across the floor, thinking, experience with, this town will be a kind of tranquil and leisurely beauty.

Today is good weather, overcast with, but no rain. The early morning cool breeze blowing gently up and facing the side walk in the Tuo, listening to the locals, "Kine" sound of hammer clothes, watching the mist filled Diaojiaolou group, was especially relaxed, perhaps because today Feier to come.
From among host of "Wang Jiangting" guest Chuang, Ta Guo Tuojiang jumping rocks on the pier, walk on the north gate tower, along the walls of brown red tower to the East Gate Akira go, this section of the entire town that I favorite.
Early morning cool breeze brush my Fashao from a person who wander about the city wall, watching the brown-colored cornices sky stretching to the lead, any thoughts swirling in the wind. A sudden surprise, that they have their heads in the city to commute Akira had a long time. I do not know the first under the city to visitors, is to me also as a part of this landscape, it still felt I was part of the frame redundant?
Take a look at the time still early, it is estimated there are Feier car more than two hours before that, therefore, have come a lot of times along the quartzite Street, to the city of Shen Cong-wen's house went. Now come to Phoenix, I always go there to see, buy a house in this cover, Shen stamp of "Bordertown," Fortunately, the inn late at night to read to the fir to listen, and then come back to give the book to another friend.
And local level of consumption compared to spend 20 yuan to see these three, five dilapidated buildings is expensive. Inside the residence a few old beds in addition to the old desk, it is worth looking at is a wall of photos and text. Look at those black and white photos, review Chenlao life, photos of the man and his words gave me the feeling as the Yi Mei Chang Yun-Chen Lao, and the essays in their joint tombstone: "No, no discount from the but also Ci also enable; l'etoile his writing Motherland its people. " In the Shen Congwen leave home until the age of 15 living in house, I have read and makes a wall hung sink, manuscripts, really love it and that hand pretty small characters. "How to write a Journey" more academic, it seems to me to write Travels is not much help; "Life stone road" in their description of that school of Shiba's life, provoking the same Chiai the water of my deep sympathy just a pity that the growth of my childhood town there is no such Shiba to mold my temperament.
Unconsciously in that old house has been inter-spend more than an hour, so to pick out good books, slowly Duochu the door, before he went to cruise the streets.
"Miss, by boat to the Peach Blossom Island bar!" Mohr-McClune, a local person. In fact, I have already booked the afternoon and fir Peach Blossom Island, the boat tour, so casually replied: "No, today I would like stroll in the city."
"You have visited the several days ... ..." In a sentence I Yunsi, it seems I do not have the talent to be a spy only spent three days in one place, they were to the eye on.
Rejected the boatman, to continue to turn in the town. Should be working hours, and can be uncovered every household door, people leisurely holding bowl, I do not know ate breakfast or lunch. This leisurely pace of life is that I envy but do not aspire to, because it is difficult to know their heart Kuangzao be content with such a dull quiet for long life.
Now think about it, Feier SMS came, and then hurried to meet in an appointment with the Ambassador Hotel, From then on, my "to accompany" life will be full of fun, fir has been posted online to do v., special extracts from the following:
"1, just under the CMB, can not find the 'long travel', I'll send text messages with her something that I wronged their own travel over the long bar, the results I swim, and she has yet to come, I initially thought she had not go out and she told me she was in the wrong direction;
"2, ready to swim back to hotel Tuo, and she took me to the more sparsely populated high-spirited Chuanjiezouxiang was gradually deserted, the whole street has completed soon, and she finally conscience take the initiative to admit: I like the direction of counter-an;
"3, the evening went to East Gate tower, her compulsiveness mutter prayers: bypass, East gate, gate tower along the city walls had been walking north on to the啦. And so on through the East Gate of the openings below building E., we are very consonance of the Hu Wang 1, and then she reluctantly come out of them: 'Well, in fact, not around the outside, directly across from the underground to on the list.'
"- This, this, this is more than I had three days visiting the ancient city, known as can be done to accompany the person."
Well, really really, If I do such a good leads the way, how she could go so many detours and appreciate so much scenery to enjoy so much fun?
In the Ambassador Hotel to enjoy a delicious duck blood DCB and the local soil chicken soup, drizzle in the afternoon boating Inclined Tuojiang quietly went to Peach Blossom Island tour.
Love the feeling of most of the boats sailing on the water, the river flows quietly in the side, swaying aquatic plants in water seductive scene looking for a long time, it changes the aquatic plants like Lady in the Water passionate arm, are beckoning you to entice you, then seems unlikely since the water, turned out songs like, with unspeakable charm. Suddenly felt terrible, he hastened to the attention turned to the shore, hills, waterside of the shepherd boy and buffalo.
Since there do not know if this "The Eagle-shooting", the world will have all of the island Huanzuo "Peach Blossom Island," the. We ascended this little peninsula, in addition to stretch of green grass, and several huts, which the island in fact nothing. I Feier Daomo feel anything, never had much hope we can have another boat tour up the people are not willing to lobby, and facing the island, waiting for customers pay up several of the local woman shouted: not to say that the island a folk song and dance of the do? As a result, those few women, a little forced entertainer's frustration, pick up color festival, singing and dancing together, from the first month in lunar calendar years has been sung, the embroidered mandarin duck feet a year, and finally looked forward a naturalized person. This is a happy ending of the folk songs, songs that are unspeakable reveals a bleak. Feier said that they sang was "off the Lotus," the beggar of people to flee their villages to sing. No wonder so sad Oh!
Yamashita was way back in the boat in the Waterside, the Zaiqu pay their last respects Chenlao cemetery, met a local teacher, amateur pulling rickshaws and explain the Phoenix historical references, one for love on these stories, two to supplement the family for a son and a daughter studying. He will pull us from the tomb to the Hongqiao Shen, took us to visit the museum on the Hongqiao for our detailed local history stories, anecdotes.
Fact that the teachers talk down are not particularly interested in literary allusions, but he places emphasis on cultivating children's toil, bearing in mind the father had to support our three daughters when he was studying families of the raw cold, silent moment.

Internet access in the bar the night before and fir to the middle of the night, the original intention to go to an early start today, Miao Village of the Deben. Have been awakened by early morning alarm clock, sound more and more water out of the window to big, the original it began to rain. Successive overcast for several days, God seemed to take a number of days of water vapor condensation at once down the entire dump. I always like to listen to the rain in the warm, dry indoor play voice of carved wooden window frames, especially in the foreign country inn, in this hazy morning, to see Feier sleep very heavy, so I tuck the quilt tight, looked on the rain again drifted ambiguous to sleep.
Woke up again, it is 9 points more, to listen to Feier lazily, said: "Like it looked on the pillow to sleep in the large, spacious bed, listening to the rain fall on the Tuojiang the voice, watching pedestrians hurried out of the window of the shuttle, it is a pleasure, "I exclaimed:" ah right ah right, I like it, like listen to the rain in the footsteps of passers-by hurry hurry, so feel the room itself was very warm, very happy. "
"What is this vicious psychological ah ~ ~ ~" We have a tacit agreement to Xiangshiyixiao, hugged the out of the inn, ate breakfast, then jumped into the car to the sub-moral Jishou ram, I'd forgotten that in such a The rain out, their warmth and happiness Bian Jiang no longer exist, we have introduced in their own footsteps to decorate someone else's dream of.
In accordance with the web Raiders, in Jishou highway interchange with China and Pakistan had Aizhai wonders, in the village of Pai brother get off on the 1st can walk to the viewing platform, and then down from the mountain, take the mountain can be more than an hour to Deben Miao Village, along this route may be omitted from the main gate into the Miao Village of the 28 yuan ticket money (later did I learn that tickets are now available rose to 48 yuan / person in). This trip became the trip an unforgettable adventure Xiangxi experience, but added me and fir are anticipated.
Xiang Yu Aizhai roads are highways (G209 National Road) and part of the repair on the Anti-Japanese War began, is the main gateway leading to the rear area of Chongqing, in order to made a great contribution to Sino-Japanese War. It is built on steep slope above the Aizhai, when the abnormal conditions of road hard in the design, there are two unique, so that in their history of China Road and help earn.
The first one is the road repair does not go on because no one could Shui a car which is almost 360-degree bend, like a long time, the road to do the repair at a small flat, cars in the small-ri turned his head then, can continue to move forward opened. There is a joke, saying that a driver for the first time to go this road, turned his head after they had come to the time-bound road, open to town, I felt that the city and how Jishou such as ah? ? ?
Second, is the roads are amendments not go on, engineers in the Dusk thinking hard think, a point of pulling Fang Niuwa him, dwelling farther, first road repair potential gentle slope to the right side of a small hill, and then in a small hill and the Aizhai slope repair a small bridge between the road can keep up repair of the.
To repair this road, a total of 200 casualties of the bearer, in the mountains there is a monument to the memory due to repair this highway but those who lost their lives. Monument is also a built in Anti-Japanese War, but later to the Japanese planes bombed, and now is a few years ago according to the original reconstruction. Bronze statue, is a mountains workers, left hand holding the hammer and the hammer right hand waving, we are in the car covered with dust and to mandate, through the window, far looked at the bronze statue standing in the wind and the rain still.
In the village of Pai brother out of the car along the splash of the quartzite Road roundabout and the line, about ten minutes later saw in front of mountains, a natural platform for the formation of a cliff at a distance from the radiating volley, which will be is the viewing platform on the 1st of. One foot observation deck to enjoy the mountain misty rain misty Qiaoya rise steeply to see around the waterfall Mashimo abyss. Because of heavy rain, misty clouds, heavy upon layer of mountains looming, not a good feeling.
Then, we embark on the dangerous road to go to Deben.
Quartzite of the mountain Road, all forks, and then, along the way repeatedly asked, on the 2nd line to the viewing platform Zhai Ji Dou, when a villager hats so he took a heavy rain sent us fork in the road, and makes a pointing our way down to the Deben. I am, but because I have just encountered an asking price 20 yuan lead the way local people, but concerned that his motivation for this move is really a sinister heart of a gentleman's belly ah! (Later to think about such a rainy day, this mountain road, asking price 20 yuan for the wizard, we can not count too dark ah ~ ~ ~)
Only need to walk down the mountain streams, paths along the riverbank will be able to come to the Deben.
Just did not expect that the rain gradually become more and more dangerous narrow mountain road. Quartzite gravel trail gradually becomes dirt, highway of the weeds, bullying on the narrow winding path. Found Feier shoes began to spin, so, in the steep slope will turn around and clutching at her hand. Although not dare to let go of her hand is worried that she was slipping, but it's hand clenched the fir, two in heavy rain, the steep side of the bushes in leading the way and the line, that moment, two hands grip tightly phase feeling, I love you. Life has few such opportunities, it can be with a person's hand clenched, the wind and rain to go one way such a dangerous road it?
Moreover, fir has been said that "infinite landscape in the dangerous mountain peak," I can sneak in to look at two landscape it, ha ha, the rain of the mountain is really good ah!
The only one I was afraid of, that is, more than an hour away, we branch off the road, and went to a bunch of chaos Shek Kong, the so looked down, thick weeds and large tracts of land covered with leaves, then narrow winding path even disappeared. I realize that we must be wrong, and then climbed the chaos Shek Kong, fell back, turned out to see a place just down the fork there are two thin trail: a antecedents, an avenue, forward stretch. So then go away for about five minutes later and I have stopped fir: Because the discovery of a big rock that we have just traversed --- the shape of the stone rather special, so I, and fir are clear remember how --- and went back to it?
A sudden, I am a little alarmed, his mind actually emerges out of "Chinese Ghost Story", by Yan Chi-Xia Ning Caichen before the rescue with a Xiaoqian, but how is also unable to get rid of the curse was shan demon facilities on Mt. I am afraid I come to naught had to backtrack, we have gone more than an hour, ah, I am not sure it tries to return an hour to go!
I told himself to calm, will be able to walk out. Since then go back, there is only one possible, which is that we come back down from the chaos at Shek Kong, when the wrong road, then returning to its antecedents. So go back, this time really gone on a road detour toward the foot of the mountain, while the lower valley streams and the roar growing louder. We are going to go down the! Really glad that clearly marked a big piece of rock us back in time in the right direction ah!
Time have come for nearly two hours, I had hot off the raincoat, umbrella fir are also long been cast aside, and we have are soaked to the skin.
Sound of roaring water, we finally see the bottom of the creek, after a half-day rain, the stream becomes turbulent dim exception. We are relieved Feier excited cling to me, happy to cry. At this time, I did feel that their legs become soft, it felt a little tired.
Infinite landscape in the dangerous mountain peak.
From such a dangerous road to go down, the scenery of this extraordinary Miao Village have already we have not attractive. Too wet clothes were Fengyi Chui, whole body began to chill, so we jumped on Pakistan return to Phoenix. On the road, fir heating has been around me for me:)
Experienced a day through thick and thin, with the fir share this bed at night, whisper whisper, thin sparse reason his feelings to mind the words of the Jiyu friend to talk with them makes me feel a little relaxed. Talking, their right mind would blur together, and gradually a low voice not heard the last two of us who do not know exactly who should sleep.

Today is my last day of the Phoenix tour, we went to La-Er mountains Dashiqiao, went to Miao Shan Jiang drive assembly. The so-called Miao set, is a bustling farmers market, and no special appeal to our stuff, and no miaojia beautiful woman dressed for us to enjoy, so, a pair of squeezed in the human circle, then back to Phoenix, in the Inn in the nap. Wake up almost at dusk, to see Feier seem to sleep like a baby, so Xixisuosuo to pick up her luggage, went to wash the bath. And then to the bedside, watching her sleep seems like a very sedate, then gently call: "Slob, up!" Flutter laugh soon as she laughed out, saying that when I pick up something she knows all about us. Well, the original Zhuangshui to stay put in bed, you lied to me!
Dragged her down, went to opening night food stalls, eat a big appetite, then go to "rover bar" is said to drink a good coffee drink late at night accompanied by a return, although separated by layers of heavy clouds and not real, but I left Phoenix's Eve, I finally saw the stars in the sky. The grass is sparking fireflies Feier caught a little flashing yellow-green fluorescent Chong Er, Long in his hands. I was the first time I saw this magical little lives, and looked through the fingers and makes it, and then fir waving gently put it back to nature. Little light soon disappeared into the bushes.
Back to the Inn, we have one person hold only half a watermelon sitting in Linjiang balcony, listening to the sound of Tuojiang put put the water, blowing cool Ye Feng chat ah talk, thinking far away friends.
Late at night, and back room, dim the lights, open the "Border Town", gently and read my favorite passages:
"Everyone is still gentle, beautiful and calm. But the body of a person who read into this all the time present, also still in the evening will be a bit thin in the bleak. Thus, the day has become a painful things. Cuicui think seems to lack something. as if seeing that to this day has passed, would like a new personnel on Panzhu it, but not a. as if life is so extraordinary, and could not stand.
"... ... ... ...
"Lao Chuanfu work tired to sleep, and Tracy have also tired to sleep crying. Cuicui can not forget what his grandfather said, dreams of the soul as a beautiful singing float, as if gently floating around the last of the White Tower, down the garden, to the boat, but also re-Feicuan halfway off a cliff - to go for what? Zhai saxifrage! sun lire boat, she looked upward, and mast Yashang who had Saxifraga very familiar with. precipice three Wuzhang high, usually less than a hand pull down, when they can choose the top section of the leaves to make a big umbrella.
"... ... ... ...
"By the winter, that injure stood amid the Sule Pagoda again repaired, but that in the next month to sing, so Tracy is singing in the sleep inside float gently into the soul of young people, it has not yet come back to tea Cave."
... ... ... ...
Feier silently leaned bed, quietly listening.
"This guy may never come back, maybe 'tomorrow' back!"
"End," I said, "sleep!"
Dream, but did not hear my soul can float softly singing ... ...
