Xuchang, I misunderstood you.

My first impression of Xuchang is because my aunt is from Xuchang. At that time, rural people got married, or boys in the north of the village married daughters in the south of the village, and girls in neighboring villages married boys in neighboring villages. The farthest is to marry from this town to that town. But my versatile blind uncle, he actually asked for marriage on the radio and married himself a wife from Xuchang.

When I was a child, I felt that Xu Chang was really a distant and strange place. Looking at my thin and tall aunt, I can't help asking, where is Xuchang? Why did you marry so far? My aunt always smiles without saying a word.

When I get older, I find that adults around me always smoke a kind of cigarette called "Old Yellow Skin". I can read. On the old yellow leather, the word "Xuchang" is written on the square. I think, ha, Xuchang is a place where cigarettes are produced.

A little bigger, look at the Three Kingdoms. I know that Cao Cao held the emperor in Xuchang to make the princes, and I know that Cao Pi became emperor here. Suddenly I felt, wow, Xuchang used to be the imperial city! So Xuchang is a big place!

I thought, then I'll find a chance to visit Xuchang.

But when I really grew up and started traveling around, I found that Xuchang was only 100 kilometers away from my home, and I heard that Xuchang was not divided into small areas (there used to be only Weidu District, but now there seem to be three new areas). I suddenly lost interest in this ancient capital at my doorstep. After all, Kaifeng, Tokyo, which is known as the richest place in the Song Dynasty, seems to me to be embarrassed and shabby, and it is really difficult to support the face of the ancient capital of the Eight Dynasties. I think, Xuchang, although it is an important place of Wei, can it have some old colors after thousands of years?

So, when Zhou suggested, let's go to Xuchang for a stroll. I'm really hesitant. Seeing my concern, he said with a smile, you think so much, just go and see if it is good. Besides, the fun of the journey is on the road. Come to think of it, it is. So, simply pack up and leave easily.

Along the way, there were white clouds. I have seen the weather forecast that it is a shower, and I am still expecting a rain in Mao Mao, so that we can meet a romantic ancient city in the fog and smoke. But this cloud is so beautiful, there are big flowers hanging in the sky, like bowing their heads and teasing people, surrounded by groups, like whispering something, and there are even more ethereal clouds, like smoke, flying continuously, which makes people itch.

I have completely forgotten that I want a rain and I don't care about the hot sun overhead. The bus just left Xuchang toll station. Zhou pulled the car over. We can't help getting off to see the clouds.

As soon as I got off the bus, the heat wave rolled in. At noon, there is not even a pedestrian on the road. Looking around, the roads are open and the trees are in rows. It's really neat I can't help but sigh, so clean!

The place where we parked is just a roadside garden. My classmate Zhou and I walked along the lake stupidly and cheerfully regardless of the scorching sun.

I'm surprised. Wow, look at that cloud!

Zhou said to him, come here, there are fish here.

We walked briskly, our thoughts flying. My hanging heart, afraid of coming to the wrong place, finally relaxed. Even just to see the clouds in the lake, even just to see the two dragonflies on lotus petals, even just to compare with the photos taken by Zhou, my trip to Xuchang was not in vain.

Xuchang, Xuchang, it's really exciting that you made the portal so beautiful.

Zhou and I visited the city again and again. Well, as a stupid traveler who never makes a strategy, he believes that wherever he goes, the scenery is there. Finally, the third time we came to the same road, we giggled and admitted it. Xuchang, you are not surprisingly small.

Find a good hotel and park the car. We decided to walk out of the street. We walked all the way along the moat. On both sides of the moat, there are lotus flowers and lotus leaf fields everywhere. In the rivers and lakes, I have occasionally taken a cruise ship, but I have the charm of Jiangnan. I didn't know that Xuchang was also called Liancheng until I got here. Wherever you go, almost any garden, as long as there is water, there will be lotus flowers, which is a landscape.

Later, we went to the Spring and Autumn Building. I heard that this is an old building in Xuchang. We invited a beautiful young guide to explain. It turned out that the Spring and Autumn Building was given to Guan Yu by Cao Cao after he took refuge in his second sister-in-law. Because I miss my eldest brother Liu Bei, I often read Chunqiu in this building at night. In the name of the Spring and Autumn Building, later generations commemorate his former loyalty in the United States. Most of these buildings were built in the Ming and Qing Dynasties and have been renovated in recent years. I think it has nothing to do with Guan Yu more than 1000 years ago, but it is a place for future generations to mourn.

We listened to the tour guide telling the story of the Three Kingdoms, climbed the Drum Tower, sat in the pavilion, watched Qigong calligraphy and watched the fish swim across the grass. Time and space have never changed. Guan Yu's dragon crescent moon blade stands tall, which will never remind me of the time when heroes came forth in large numbers.

A garden fell down, at sunset. We asked the tour guide about other interesting places, and the tour guide said that other places should be closed when you go, so let's play tomorrow!

Tomorrow will be bright, but only for a while, a little cold. How can we waste such a good time? After discussion, we decided to go to the local West Lake Park. Park, it won't close!

I was going to take a taxi, but I waited left and right, and I didn't see a taxi. (Tucao: I didn't see a taxi all the way. I wonder how the public transportation in Xuchang is? )

Finally, I had to open Baidu navigation and walk there.

We wandered in other people's streets.

Like the locals, we hide our faces and stop and go. When it's hot, eat a cup of iced beans. When you are tired, find a street shop to have a rest. Our mood, like the evening breeze at that time, has a faint, warm and gentle sweetness.

I wonder how many benefits West Lake Park has. Because as soon as I got there, I kicked off my shoes and leaned against the railing of the pavilion by the lake, never to go in again. Mr. Zhou ignored me and went to chat with the old fisherman. As for me, I quietly watched others rowing on the lake.

At that time, the sun will be covered and there will be faint golden waves on the lake. There is a breeze blowing your hair and your heart. On the boat on the lake, there is a family of three. Mother is pushing the boat with difficulty, but father is smiling and teasing the child in his arms. On the other boat, two women of both ages, not knowing what to say, smiled and turned their backs on the lake. Looking from a distance, there are pavilions in the distance and a big cruise ship is swinging.

I plugged in my headphones. Listen to a love song. I heard the moonlight coming up, and my stomach growled and I was reluctant to go. I got up and went to dinner with my classmate Zhou, ending a half-day visit.

We left Xuchang early the next morning. Zhou said, shall we stop playing? There are many places to go.

Yes, there are many good places. A beautiful face that I didn't expect appeared in Xuchang, a small town in the north, which gave me tenderness and tenderness. I can't bear to see her at once.

I have never been to the Prime Minister's House, and I have seen the elegant demeanor of the lean Cao Cao. I have never been on a moat cruise and enjoyed the beautiful scenery on both sides of the strait. Before I got to Baling Bridge, I saw Yun Chang and his sister-in-law running towards my brother. I haven't tasted the elegance of Liancheng very well and carefully.

I am willing to leave a little regret, and I am willing to leave a little expectation so that we can meet again!
