A distant memory, the plot of trees, from the Beijing home.
Each family is also approaching a time when across the river, you can see in front of Napian trees, so this time I did not see the shadow of the bush can not help a bit surprised that there are only a Jigen cut off to the fine branches of lying disorder in the original place. I asked the mother, those trees gone, the mother says, was cut down next door, because blocking the door.
Those trees, ah, a child playing with the fellow I had been hidden under the roots of love, spring, when trees in full bloom with a white prickly brier, a cluster of a cluster, open the silence of the summer time, night heavy rain the stream can be risen to a place under the trees, it is my childhood impression for the flood, and rise when the water across the river from Big Brother would support fishing nets guarding the fish from here passing; to fall on the ground is full of dry branches, while not missing home, I still like to pick Cai Cai (only for learning that Young Rokuro subordinates Jiaozan the original firewood is also a farmer), sometimes under a tree onto your duck eggs can be.
Now, to go to where the woods to find Napian it! Here also, as usual, luxuriant green do? Only in the memory slowly to find the!

Archer in the treetop approaching dusk, I stood at the door, because the trees no longer blocked, you can always look into the distance to the distant paddy fields and villages. Si Xiali quiet, though it is across the far, or be able to hear that a small village on the roadside trees in noisy flocks of sparrows. I never understand why the sparrow was so much noise going to the evening's most Huan, together with hordes of noisy non-stop.
That village in a rice field in central, said to have initially only seven people of different surnames, so called seven surnames Zhuang, regarded here as a poor place.
I Mother away. There are many rice fields in the poles, a section of wire is also habitat with sparrows, the dire straits the community, chasing up and down, but also some fun. This group of sparrows, in me, but you do not see it come out on the street who is not and his gang.
That side of the road when a group of sound but a bit weak. Turned a corner and see it This is a group of Habitat in the peach on the sparrow, sparrow is small, peach trees are small. Peach is not very high, but it is in the wall few people bother. To see me, this group quickly got up and flew to another tree a more dense, broad leaves have also become their protection.
I was reluctant to leave, only a group of rice fields in the Look at Where am I going to go. Some of the rice fields where rice is still green but lying in the water, one of the very large is a pity, I was told it was the fault of rice planthopper. Working class high school, I remember that textbook, the name of such pests, but it is not seen won pests of rice looks like. Rice field next to a ridge a ridge of buckwheat, driving a white flower, I do not remember what the summer after the flowering plants, some peanuts, has been down, and radish flowers not yet opened. This is the ginger buckwheat is not Whitehead's "off spring for miles and make water chestnut wheat green" mean, I can not tell to!
(Note: The dictionary say: Buckwheat: Annual herb, stems purple, leaves alternate, triangular, open a small white flowers; vera black, and ground into chestnut flour, wheat for human consumption: annual grasses, leaves long and narrow, plume splitting, flowers white, when the edible tender stems and leaves.. From here, water chestnut about not buckwheat in wheat.)
The sky and then later, paddy field on the Archer has also collected a group of soldiers, but a group of trees, and moved to the village along with two Metasequoia trees, look at height and the color of bark, then at least a decade Metasequoia age of . Only in the village, I stepped into the village need to be near to look at.
Forward line of Shu Shibu, through an alley, a few households, haystack and that Metasequoia is at hand. But let me down is not that bright spots on the tree sparrow - but the alley wall on the two persimmon others. It is early autumn season, that the mottled Canyuan the edge of persimmon such as wearing clothes of autumn, like everyone in light yellow lug a small lantern. That persimmon reduced to only a few faint pen can be painted watercolor, distant sky, empty open Kuang, I do not remember where it had seen pictures of. Which households have wall to support the black duck a swaying away in a small road.
Are leaning in that household to stay under the trees to see it, East Room to the white flower of a dog, it bit by bit the dog barking close to me I am not worried, however, is not got that call, the village full of dogs all follow the call up, Xi Xiang's a black dog soon ran the distance to the side there are a few began to run.
I began timidly, and a step by step back to the alley, "can not be blocked a way to escape being surrounded by a", I think. I started to encourage people, no one should. I have two dogs that bully timid, and bit by bit to me approaching, I do not have stone paving blocks can be picked up, afraid to squat body but will provoke them, and only a little bit back. Alley's exports have also heard the dogs barking, and so I retreated to the alley side, aiming my dogs were scared back the opportunity Satuijiupao, it is less than two to catch up, a copy of that my posterior was my Mile scare. And so retreated to the fields, Si Xiali alley dog all out there, but fortunately did not fall into the ring of encirclement is very lucky, otherwise, even if not bitten should be scared to climb the tree - and that was my last resort, a child often use the dog may be better than I would climb trees, but fortunately, do not practice today, then climb a tree, the effort - and those are not good to climb a tree.
I retreated to the fields, think for a long time without practicing kung fu battle mud, and today these clown right at your fingertips, Qi You do not depreciate the reason? Some are good pinch mud fields, dogs have been scared away, I remembered those persimmon trees.
I understand why Archer was selected for the nest of this treasure, under the vicious dog who Buqi呀!

Guo Ning Tong Road, Yangzhou, a car along the highway to the west, it was evening, the window of paddy fields, people, river bank on the diffuse open reed catkins. I forgot to stay with ecstasy, thinking that the only wait until next year then in order to find a picture of this!
Looking at the Man of the aloe open when the mind is Po Chu-song "Fall Maple Leaf Dihua howling", and somehow I always considered this one was done in Dihua reed flowers, because we are here , waterside reeds than the most common of the. Although it is known as reed, there are two ways. The kind of large, thick leaves and stems are some, known as Arundo donax, after the autumn harvest, stems up could be built thatched houses, or pull into a fence; a small kind of known as the reed is the wild, only when the firewood burned. Arundo donax grow tall, straight points, while the reed is reclining on the water's edge, tall but also smaller. I have the impression in Riverside and the wind, these are the reeds instead of Arundo donax in! I sigh that life will be like the reed flowers, and grow up to have to leave the rearing of its land, the wind falling horizon of the!
In this way all the way westbound, all the way looked at the height of the sun from the earth. There is free, the first poem:
"Solar it has legs, ah,
It jumped into the clouds, the
Clouds have a colorful clothes,
It falls on the water surface,
Come out of the river is also handsome appearance ",
I like this almost evening sun, graceful, according to popular waves.
Beyond that is the westbound Yangzhou boundaries, and each time coming here, will be several several bridges, I know it must be one of them is to lead the Beijing-Hangzhou canal, but every time I not tell which one is, that bridge name it sounds good, may wish to note here: Mountain Rice River Bridge (river, beautiful reed), a small canal bridge, Liu Jia Gou Bridge (in the Po River is one of the Bay), the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal Bridge (the water is not very wide , but added that a lot of passing ships), the ancient Grand Canal Bridge (both sides there is the shadow of the past, the busy town), Mei Jia Gou Bridge (west there are several, dark look at Buzhuo name).
I asked a friend of Yangzhou, in the end which is a canal bridge then? She could not answer, they told me that there is the ancient Grand Canal in Yangzhou and the new canal. However, according to my assessment, yet they must go to the non-Liao Jia Gou Bridge, and its two sides, together with those willows are immersed in fog, not seen each other forget themselves. Looking back, I was only here for a "Yan Long Cold Moon Water cage sand" one of the confirmed (although not yet had months). So I had a wish my mind, what days, the canal boat to come here looking for video tracks!
