"The mountain has a small mouth, as if there is light. Only by being narrow at first can we understand people. Take a few steps and you will be suddenly enlightened. The ground is flat and the house is like. "

I haven't arrived at Xianziyu, but I heard that it is an ancient stone village surrounded by mountains on three sides, with a winding path and a secluded place, which is well preserved and distinctive, and I am very yearning for it. This road leading to the entrance of the village has long been abandoned, and there are mountain springs flowing on the winding path. Cicada doesn't make any noise, and it's too quiet between heaven and earth. The clear spring is like the girl in the Seed of Love. When she flows past the person she likes, she wants to make her own voice to make you notice, but she is afraid of making a voice to make you notice, so she blushes and passes you by. If you listen carefully, you can hear her seemingly hurried and shy steps.

Sunlight falls from the cracks in the leaves and hits our bodies and faces. There were several showers in early autumn, and the air in the mountains was still wet. All this makes me want to open all my pores, breathe as much as possible, and put the purity of this natural oxygen bar in my body properly.

We walked all the way up, stepping on old, slightly broken stones; Stepping on leaves that have not completely turned into mud last autumn; Stepping on the leaves that have just fallen with the wind this autumn. Breathing fresh and clean air, feeling the coolness of the shade and enjoying the crystal-like beauty of the stream.

When I arrived at the village entrance, I realized that this was a secret peach blossom garden. The entrance is extremely narrow, as if there are a little more people going in, which is disgusting. In such an environment, we also have the feeling of whispering. One shout is enough to pierce the whole village and can be heard clearly at the other end.

The house is built on the mountain, with high and low, and it is patchy. This is a stone house made of rough stones and natural logs. Locals say that stone houses made of this material are warm in winter and cool in summer. Unfortunately, the village is deserted. If you have a homestay, you must go in and feel the summer without air conditioning. I fell asleep listening to cicadas on a moonlit night, and woke up when the first ray of sunshine shone into the room in the morning. I have no work to do and no phone calls to answer. How carefree and comfortable!

Trees are the soul of this village. Old Gleditsia sinensis is earlier than the history of the village. For thousands of years, it has witnessed the rise and fall of villages and people, and it has long been full of vitality. The height of this tree is 10 meter, the trunk is about 4 meters high and the bust is 2.8 meters. Who can imagine? The trunk of such a huge king of Gleditsia sinensis is already hollow. Bark is its only way of growth, supporting its lush branches and leaves, supporting its tenacious soul and unyielding figure. If you want to live, you must live into a landscape. If you want to live, you must try your best to use all resources and live well. This is what the tree told itself and what the tree told us.

I say it's more like the Peach Blossom Garden because there is a stone tablet in the village called Peach Blossom Flowing Water. In the past, this village was full of peach trees. Spring has come, and the hillside is full of peach blossoms. Spring breeze comes from afar with joy. With a gentle blow, the petals are bewitched to leave the branches and wander around the world with running water.

Falling in love, some things are still heartless.

I think, if Fairy Jade has a gender, it is probably a girl like me. You see, she likes the moon as much as I do, but at night, she took advantage of the moonlight to tap a bucket of spring water, and then she saw a full moon reflected in the spring water, rippling brightly like a huge sparkling bead. I named it Zhu Bao's Spring. Clear water can penetrate rock cracks for a hundred years. I'm here whether you need me or not.

Because that's the sense of security I want to give you.
