Came to Shifogou, Jishan in late spring.

During the May Day holiday, under the telephone invitation of friends in Jishan, I contacted several literary friends by telephone and went shopping together, and soon reached an agreement. The car picked me up from Huangfu, and a five-person car sped along the expressway of Ji Yun Road to Shifogou at the Wanrong intersection of Jishan.

Running all the way, laughing constantly. Just after noon, the sun is shining and the air is full of hot air. The car sped on the way to transport millet, and the cool wind blew in from the open window. My hair was flying around and my eyes were a little dry, so I picked up my sun hat and fastened it on my head. From time to time, our rambling laughter and voices floated out of the window.

Speaking of Shifogou, I have a strong curiosity about where it is. If you look it up online, you can't find it. Finally, I asked my friend, who said it was at the junction of Wanrong and Jishan.

Through the window, I saw the big letters of the "Shifogou" house number, and a giant Buddha in a red robe stood on the roadside. Looking at the stone Buddha wearing a red robe, I suddenly realized that the stone Buddha ditch is the name of a village, and the village is named after the stone Buddha.

We stopped under a big pagoda tree at the entrance of Shifo Village and approached the so-called "Stone Buddha". It turned out to be a cement stone Buddha, dressed in a red cassock, lifelike. We suddenly feel that it shines in our hearts and is awe-inspiring.

With a beautiful yearning for the stone Buddha ditch, we want to find the legendary stone Buddha. Explore the depths of the wilderness along the winding dirt road between ditches. My road twists and turns, and it suddenly becomes clear through a sheltered depression, which is simply a paradise. On both sides of the road, there are green pepper trees, dotted pepper flowers and green pepper leaves. In front of them, we can think of our favorite pepper toad, and we really want to take it home to cook the best table, observe civilized travel, and let reason overcome selfish desires. We didn't do anything illegal. Mulberry, hawthorn, jujube and medicinal trees are scattered in the distance. Mulberry trees are covered with green mulberries. These are all childhood memories. I haven't seen mulberry trees with fruits for a long time. Large tracts of medicinal materials are growing well, with white flowers dotted among them. Further on, a large forest is lush, and the bloom on the locust tree is blooming brightly, sending out the fragrance of Sophora japonica everywhere. Springs are gurgling in the Woods, and birds are chirping. From time to time, villagers can be seen holding long hooks and hooking Sophora japonica.

In the grove of Shifogou, several of us sat on the floor, enjoying the beautiful scenery of this natural taoyuan, listening to the tinkling of springs and the gurgling of streams; Look at the lush vegetation, covering the sky; The setting sun is full of mottled spots and shadows ... Although the weather is a little hot, we are in such a fairy-like situation, chatting and laughing with great interest, and we don't feel the heat at all. The mood is relaxed to the extreme, and we feel that we are integrated with nature. We were so happy that we posed in various poses and took pictures in the Woods as a souvenir.

Birds are still ringing in our ears, and we can't bear to walk out of the weedy and gurgling Woods. Along the idyllic path with lush flowers and plants on both sides, we are constantly looking for and exploring novel landscapes, earth kilns on the cliff side, green wheat fields, and large areas of land that are being broken ... From time to time, unexpected novelty and exquisiteness come into our sight along the way, which fascinates us ... We have traveled to every corner of Shifogou and always want to meet the most beautiful expectations in our hearts. There are ditches, water, dense forests, exotic flowers and plants, and earth caves where people once lived, but we didn't see the imaginary stone Buddha. Some say that the stone Buddha was destroyed by the war, and some say that it was swept to Japan by the Japanese invaders that year. There are different opinions, and it is not known.

Walking back along the newly reclaimed large clearing, you can see a viaduct passing by the cross frame at the top of the ditch. My friend said it was Wenhe Expressway. It turns out that Shifogou is located in the middle of Xiagou. Looking up and smelling the Shi Fo Bridge on expressway, I can't help but open the door of imagination. People can roam freely in the ditch under the bridge, and the carts on the bridge gallop past, full of the charm of three-dimensional ink painting.

Shifogou Village does have such unique humanistic and natural conditions for developing rural tourism. Stone Buddha culture and its historical origin. Outside the dense forest, a large area of land is being planned, constructed and developed. It is said that Shifogou here will be developed into a five-in-one Shifogou leisure farm and a red revolutionary education base integrating rural tourism, accommodation, farmhouse music, fishing and picking.

On the way home, several of us took photos at the Shifogou village sign at the entrance of the village, and then headed for Jishan county. Although the stone Buddha can't be found, the prospect of the stone Buddha ditch is gratifying. I hope that Shifogou can be developed more beautifully and better in the future, so that villagers and tourists can enjoy the eyes and return to the most beautiful, authentic and natural Shifogou!
