Meihua Stream is said to be a stream, but the strange thing is that there is a flat river nearby. Maybe there were mountains here in ancient times.
Snowflakes fell in clusters, like countless torn cotton balls tumbling down from the sky.
It fell into Leiyin's palm, crystal clear, and slowly melted.
The two of them walked beside the stream. The white snow deposited by the stream was sometimes washed away by the current, floating on the stream like a stack of boats.
Occasionally, a naughty child went over to play with the water and was immediately spanked by his parents, making him scream in pain.
But when their parents didn't pay attention, the naughty children immediately wiped away the tears they had squeezed out, ran to play in the water again, and then were spanked again, repeating the process over and over again, enjoying it endlessly.
The phoenix mixed with the fragrance of the stream blew towards my face.
The plum blossom trees on both sides sway in the wind, and occasionally a budding flower will fall down.
Leiyin couldn't help but stepped forward and touched it, feeling that the little buds on the tree were very cute.
Xu Fei found a bluestone bench, wiped off the snow on it, and covered it with the promotional poster he got at the entrance.
The two sat down and felt the freshness of the water and the fragrance of plum blossoms.
"This kind of plum blossom tree is usually called spring plum, red plum or thousand-branch plum. In our place, together with pine and bamboo, it is called the 'Three Friends of Suihan'." Xu Fei explained.
"Why?" Leiyin asked.
Xu Fei smiled and said: "Because other flowers and plants are still rooted in the ground and hibernating at this time, only these three 'children' insist on going out to exercise even if their noses are runny from the cold in winter."
Leiyin roughly understood the reason, but she always felt that the explanation was strange. So she quietly took out her mobile phone and entered "Three Friends of Suihan", and got the following explanation:
Pine trees and bamboos survive the winter without fading, and plum blossoms endure the cold and remain open. Because of their noble, strong, and humble character, they are called the three friends of Suihan.
Looking at Xu Fei who was looking down at the scenic spot guide, Leiyin stretched out her little hand and flicked his forehead lightly.
"Huh? What's wrong?" Xu Fei touched his forehead in surprise.
"It's okay..." Carrying Leyin with her hands on her back, she walked towards the stream.
On both sides of the stream are shallow embankments made of stones, and there are piles of snow piles freshly shoveled by the staff on the embankments.
A few well-behaved children looked disdainfully at the naughty children who were playing in the water and being beaten, and were happily making snowmen.
Xu Fei: "..."
"What is my daughter drawing?"
A mother doted on a little girl's head and looked at a 'painting' on the snow.
In the painting, a man wearing glasses is throwing something into a vase.
"I'm drawing daddy's secret." the little girl said seriously.
"Oh, what's dad's secret?"
"Dad often secretly stuffs money into the vase."
"Oh~! You're so good~ Mommy will buy you something delicious~ using your dad's private money!"
Xu Fei: "!!!"
Watching the children playing and playing in the snow, and the parents taking good care of them.
Leiyin felt a little nostalgic. She would occasionally play with her family when she was young.
Walking to a small pile of snow, Leiyin stretched out her long, snow-white fingers and lightly scratched it.
Bang!
The snowdrifts cracked and gradually collapsed.
After all the fragments of snow fell away, a small white castle appeared inside.
A mother was holding a little girl on the castle and looking into the distance. Not far from them, there were two girls playing and playing.
Xu Fei stepped forward, looked around, and asked, "Is this your home?"
He was a little surprised by the exquisite workmanship of the snow castle, but he was not surprised by the superhuman means.
Leiyin gently shook her head and denied: "It's my grandpa's house... Occasionally I go back to visit with my mother..."
Xu Fei nodded seriously, "Well, Castle, it seems that our grandpa is not an ordinary person. Then he continued to ask: "Then who are these people?"
"Mother and I..." Leiyin pointed at the women and children and smiled, then pointed at the two girls: "The Third Sister and the Fifth Sister..."
Xu Fei touched his chin thoughtfully. It seemed that Leiyin was the seventh princess, which meant she had four older brothers. Why didn't she show up at the castle?
"Where are your brothers?" Xu Fei asked.
Leiyin shook her head: "Brothers dare not go to grandpa's house...Grandpa is very strict with the men in the family..."
"Wow, it looks good."
"The big castle!"
"Sister, did you do this?"
"Sister, let's play together,"
Suddenly, several sharp-eyed children saw the snow castle, and they quickly ran over and surrounded Leiyin.
Leiyin looked at Xu Fei with some embarrassment. She was not very good at dealing with children, although she thought they were cute.
Xu Fei immediately smiled, stepped forward and touched the heads of several children, and said: "Sister said that this castle is given to you!"
Several children immediately cheered and started fighting fiercely.
"Sister told me!"
"That silly brother who called little sister big sister touched my head first! It should be mine!"
"You lied! Silly brother touched me first!"
Xu Fei, who was pulling Leiyin's sleeve and running away, almost did a somersault after hearing this.
Do you think today's children have such high emotional intelligence? But you are right. You can't say "big sister" next time. If the little girl reacts, she may be angry.
Continue walking along the stream and soon you will reach the end.
At the end of the stream is a Chinese-style attic with carved beams and painted buildings.
On the plaque in the attic, there are three sonorous and powerful running script characters engraved on the iron painted silver hook.
"Tingyin Pavilion?"
Xu Fei was a little confused as to why he chose this name. It had nothing to do with plum blossoms.
The pillars on both sides of the plaque are engraved with a couplet: Before a hundred flowers bloom, spring comes to the world alone. Horizontal batch, plum blossom.
As soon as I walked into the attic.
The enthusiastic waiter immediately came forward and said, "Two guests, please come in. Would you like to eat or enjoy the plum blossoms?"
Leiyin curiously looked at the 'ancient man' in front of him. His clothes seemed to be different from those outside.
He was wearing a linen cotton coat, a knotted scarf on his head, and a big white towel hanging on his shoulders, but the pair of sneakers were a bit out of place.
"Can't you enjoy the plum blossoms and eat at the same time?" Xu Fei asked.
"My lord, please forgive me, there are many people at this time. We sell cooked food and stir-fry dishes on this floor to keep you satisfied, and we provide fruit wine and cakes on the second floor for you to watch the snow and plum blossoms."
The waiter bowed and clasped his fists, acting in a decent manner, and he looked like an old employee at first glance.
Xu Fei looked at Leiyin and said with a smile: "Are you hungry? How about we eat first? Then we go to the second floor."
When the waiter heard this, he was in a good mood. He immediately raised his thumb and said, "Objective is a model of fairness and is very considerate. After dinner, it's just right to go to the second floor to drink fruit wine to relieve tiredness."
Leiyin thought for a while and said, "Let's appreciate the plum blossoms..."
She liked the scenery here very much and knew that she would go home before evening, so she wanted to see more.
"Okay, you two distinguished guests will be invited upstairs."
Go up to the second floor, which is different from the first floor with wooden floors and square tables and benches.
There were actually groups of thick wool carpets laid out, and low tables and round mats were placed on each group of carpets for people to sit on the spot.
Xu Fei glanced around and found it very nice, especially the one by the window.
Suddenly, he saw a poem carved on the wall above the window.
The annotation next to the poem suddenly said that it was left by a student who failed the exam in the Song Dynasty. It is exactly the same as the stone wall outside.
The poem says:
Kryptonian travels thousands of miles to the capital
Returning desolately without a name on the gold list
Helplessly, the green lantern hangs on the couch
The enemy sells wine regardless of money
Xu Fei: "..."
Krypton? Isn’t Krypton a modern language? Well, it seems that Krypton used to be a dialect of Ezhou. Xu Fei continued reading...
After a few seconds, his brows twitched a few times, and he really admired this place.
There is an acrostic poem on the stone wall outside. Read it from bottom to top, saying, "It's better to recharge."
There is another song from the restaurant inside, read from top to bottom...
What's going on in your scenic spot? Could it be that the talented people who came here hundreds of years ago were all modern people who traveled back in time?
If the little girl saw this, she would probably think it was a money scam.
