Beautiful stone prose by Jintang Lake.

In the early 1970s, Kim and Hugh were classmates of Qinglian Middle School. When they go to school, they walk more than 20 miles of mountain roads together every day. Whenever they pass through Jintang Reservoir, they will play on the berms at both ends for a period of time. After coming home from school, two male students and the recess help fund collected wild cotton, wild acorns and wild mushrooms and sold them in the market. The money they earned was under Jin Zhi. In this way, they persisted in the third grade together.

Jin, in the third grade, has grown like a wild chrysanthemum in the mountains, fresh and moving. Simple and honest Tang Weiwei has really become a considerate man unique to Nuo Nuo. In the poor mountain villages of that era, family arranged marriage was still a very common thing. Every day in Shili Baxiang, people come to Jinxing's house to propose marriage. Three good friends are unhappy because someone goes to Jinxing's house for matchmaking. Slowly, because Hugh's academic performance was better, Venus fell in love with Tang Weiwei, whose family was plain but simple.

Tang Weiwei lives in Taohua Valley, which is actually a ravine where two mountains intersect, with hundreds of acres of rice fields in the middle. At the end of the rice field is the wide lake of Jintang Reservoir. There is a two-foot-long stone by the lake, like an island, and the slopes on both sides of the ravine are covered with wild peach trees. When the peach blossoms, the rape flowers planted in the rice fields are also competing to open. Among the flowers, the mud tile house waits quietly in the fragrance.

The Kim family lives at the foot of Moon Bay Mountain. There is a natural waterfall more than 30 meters long below Moon Bay. The water in the waterfall is not big enough to drown the boulder on the cliff. A thin layer of mountain spring water flows down the cliff and falls in small pools, like a curved moon. Hongsha Road winds up from the pool, and several ancient tree stakes blown down by strong winds just become stools for passers-by to rest by the pool. Holding a clear spring in their hands to moisten the dry throat, they can easily accompany the mountain road and slowly walk to the abyss of the mountain.

The dividing line between the two families is Hongsha Road, but their parents often quarrel about the dividing line. This question has always been the reason why two young people dare not express themselves to each other.

One day, they came home from school and walked to the moon pool together. The stars stood by the pool and didn't want to leave. Her lips moved and moved, but it was hard to say. The simple and honest passive thought that she wanted to drink spring water, so she hurried to the side of the road to pick a few leaves and make a small bowl, and was about to fetch water for the stars. But the star said with tears, "You are such a fool. My parents will betrothed me to someone else before your proposal! " ! Tang Weiwei was surprised to hear this! His face flushed, and it took him a long time to say, "The mothers of the two families often quarrel, so we have to find a matchmaker." In this way, two people silently broke up and went home.

The next day, Tang Weiwei waited for the stars to go to school by the pool as before, but she didn't show up for a long time, so Weiwei went to school alone. He went to school alone for a week. Don't ask a good friend, he can't answer.

This morning, Tang Weiwei also asked his parents not to study and to help with farm work at home. His parents acquiesced without saying anything. In the days to come, every day when I was busy with my work, I went to the Kim family to make a living. I seldom talked to them, just stewed dishes to enliven the road.

After a long time, Kim's parents understood his thoughts, thought the baby was not bad, and suggested that he go back and call his parents to propose marriage, but the young man didn't seem to understand and told his parents. Finally, Kim couldn't help it. He said directly to him, go home and propose to your father. The matchmaker should give a bride price, or don't come to my house in the future.

When he got home, he looked at the poor tinkling house and his father. He was so busy in the field that he couldn't open his mouth.

The next day, it happened that both families were enlivened by the peach blossom forest on the hillside. The two young people are still a little embarrassed about each other. The elders still do their own things as usual. When the master's land is above, the Kim family's land is below. When his father raised his hoe to dig the ground, he accidentally rolled a big stone from the hillside and hit Kim's mother. When her husband saw it, he thought it was Tang Weiwei. When he ran up, he hit him in the waist with a hoe, and Tang Fu fell to the ground. The two young people were shocked by the great changes at this moment, and finally came to their senses, quickly picked up their loved ones and ran home desperately.

At that time, the hospital had to go to Zheng Qing Township Government, and it took two hours to walk. In this way, two injured old people died without timely treatment. The tragedy caused by an accident made two young people unable to face it. It's not reported, and neither is Kim. After arranging the funeral, the two sides met at the reef island by the lake Baptistan.

That night, the moonlight was bleak, and Yin Hui, who was thin and emaciated, passed through the gap in the dense pine forest and danced on the curved red sand road. The wildflowers on the roadside embraced in groups. The rice in the field is ripe, the ears of rice are swaying in the night wind, and cicadas are heard from time to time in the furrows.

When they came to the edge of the reef, Vivian still didn't say anything, still wearing the dark gray single-layer tunic suit, while Kim only wore an orchid dress for her birthday because of women's nature. The pain of losing loved ones ruthlessly pulls two people who love each other apart; Two pairs of hands that need each other's warmth can only wait quietly at night. There is no youthful enthusiasm in each other's eyes, and the instant bitterness is forgiven under the care of love. A deep pain let them know that they can't be together in this life, and the pain in the depths of their souls can't heal. So they walked from the shore to the water, and they all went to the abyss together. When the lake was over their heads, the two men's hands finally pulled together tightly, and the last hug brought them together.

Since then, this stone has a beautiful name-the stone of human sacrifice.
