old man in town

Like an enchanted magnet, I can't help but want to get closer to him.Uncle Zhan's joys, anger, sorrows and joys have been magnified several times when they are transmitted to Li Xiaomo. Li Xiaomo's heart is uneasy.He didn't want to just look at the scenery from across the bank. He really wanted to go to the forest across the river to have a look. There must be a scenery that moved his heart. He didn't want to reap the fruits, but just wanted to see what kind of scenery it was.

During the May Day holiday, Li Xiaomo came to the town again.Now there are many reasons for him to come to the town: to check the sales receipts of the online store, to give extra lessons to Uncle Zhan's son, and at the same time, the kind invitation of Uncle Zhan's family made his coming more justifiable.

It was another quiet afternoon, Li Xiaomo and Uncle Zhan were fishing on the embankment by the small river.Li Xiaomo couldn't, but he was dragged here by Uncle Zhan.Uncle Zhan said that the fish in the river in the small town were very delicious and clean, so he wanted to fork some fresh fish and stew fish soup for Li Xiaomo at night.Uncle Zhan rolled up his trouser legs, stood in the water below his calf, held a harpoon in his hand, and concentrated on searching for fish swimming among the stones.It may be because the water was too clear and the fish reacted too quickly. Uncle Zhan tried it a few times, but he didn't catch it.Seeing Uncle Zhan's naive look, Li Xiaomo remembered the truth that when the water is clear, there will be no fish, so he took off his shoes and socks and entered the water with bare feet.He swung his feet, stirred up the mud, and helped Uncle Zhan confuse the water. The flustered fish lost its direction, and its swimming speed and directionality were significantly reduced, and its dorsal fin was exposed out of the water by accident.Of course, Uncle Zhan would not miss such a good opportunity. He pointed one fork at a time and threw it into the bucket.The happy Uncle Zhan praised Li Xiaomo for being smart.

Just as Uncle Zhan was concentrating on fishing, Li Xiaomo suddenly let out a scream.Uncle Zhan quickly threw away the harpoon in his hand, and ran towards Li Xiaomo who was grinning with a sore leg.It turned out that Li Xiaomo accidentally scratched his foot with glass shards in the water, forming a wound of about two centimeters on the sole of his foot.Uncle Zhan hugged Li Xiaomo to the shore with distress, first brought clean water with his hands, and helped Li Xiaomo to clean it, then crushed the leaves of the herbs on the shore, and gently applied it on Li Xiaomo's wound.Uncle Zhan said that the leaves of this plant have the effect of stopping bleeding.After helping Li Xiaomo with simple treatment, Uncle Zhan carried Li Xiaomo to the clinic in the town.

The doctor said that Li Xiaomo's wound was not long, but it was deep, and he needed to recuperate for a week before he could walk.After the holiday ended, Li Xiaomo didn't go back to school, but asked for leave to live in Uncle Zhan's house.In the past few days, Uncle Zhan has taken care of Li Xiaomo in every possible way, taking him to change his medicine every day, and carrying him up and down the stairs.Uncle Zhan and Auntie also made soup for Li Xiaomo to help him heal his wounds.

A week later, Li Xiaomo's feet could go to the ground, so he urged Uncle Zhan to take him to the train station, he wanted to go back to school early.But Uncle Zhan was worried about Li Xiaomo, so he planned to drive Li Xiaomo to Xiamen.

On the way to Xiamen, Li Xiaomo finally plucked up the courage to tell Uncle Zhan what he had buried in his heart for a long time.

☆, 39. It turns out that you are here too

Uncle Zhan, who was concentrating on driving, looked back at Li Xiaomo who was sitting in the passenger seat.He found that Li Xiaomo was looking at him with complicated eyes.Uncle Zhan was puzzled. This child, usually by his side, was like a chattering parrot. He had a lot to say.But today is very strange, sitting beside me, not saying a word.Still staring at himself with such complicated eyes.

"Xiao Mo, what's the matter with you, why didn't you talk all the way?" Uncle Zhan turned his head to look at Li Xiaomo with concern.

Li Xiaomo still didn't speak, the silence was like a mountain lake, he no longer stared at Uncle Zhan, but turned his head to the infinitely extending road outside the car window, leaned on the seat exhaustedly, and took a deep breath Breathe in, then exhale forcefully.

"Xiao Mo, do you have something to say to Uncle?"

"Uncle, have you ever been in love before?" Li Xiaomo didn't turn his head, his eyes were still staring at the front.

"Haha, where did Uncle go to fall in love? Didn't I tell you? Your aunt and I met through a matchmaker. We got married not long after we met. After getting married, we were busy with business and Raised a family, and later gave birth to a child. I was busy all day, and to be honest, I have never been in a relationship.”

"Uncle, have you ever liked someone in your life?"

"Then tell Uncle, how do you call liking someone?" Uncle Zhan teased Li Xiaomo as if joking.

But Li Xiaomo took it seriously, he looked at Uncle Zhan, and explained: "When you like someone, you think about him every day and care about how he is doing. His appearance and voice will appear in your heart countless times. You want to be with him at all times, no matter day or night. This feeling is different from the love of your loved ones. This kind of love will make you want to have someone, and family love is to give them a wider freedom. You If you like this person, you will do everything you can to make him live well. And you can only give this kind of love to one person. Uncle, have you ever felt like this? "

Li Xiaomo was like this, looking at Uncle Zhan while talking.Uncle Zhan didn't look at Li Xiaomo, his sideways face became more and more red.In fact, when Li Xiaomo said such words, there were doubts in them, and he had already thought about the answer he wanted to hear. At this moment, he could only wait anxiously.His hands gripped the seat belt tightly, and the palms of his hands were sweaty and wet.

Suddenly, Uncle Zhan turned his head and grinned at Li Xiaomo, revealing a row of white teeth.The shyness on his face was hard to hide, he said: "If you put it this way, I have liked someone, and that person is——you"

Li Xiaomo's breathing stopped suddenly, and the blood in his body rushed to his brain. Even so, he fell into dizziness instantly.He had imagined countless scenarios, but he never imagined that happiness came so ordinary, yet real, and hit Li Xiaomo as fast as lightning.Li Xiaomo's consciousness is confused, rationality and sensibility are intertwined, making him like a bison in heat, his heart beating wildly, teasing the object he wants to see.

Li Xiaomo gently held Uncle Zhan's strong arm with his hand, and said beggingly: "Uncle, can you tell me carefully, how you feel about me, the whole process, every detail, I want to hear, Uncle , you tell me everything, okay?"

While driving the car, Uncle Zhan narrated to Li Xiaomo.

It turned out that Uncle Zhan was always there on the road of love.

☆、40. On the road ahead, let's snuggle up for warmth

"Xiao Mo, I have always felt that I am very lucky to have met you in my life. I have never felt that a person can make me trust and like me so much. I still remember the first time you came to my store to buy duck meat At that time, it was so sunny. When I saw you from a distance, I was actually nervous. Later, you asked me to help you send duck meat. As a businessman, I think this is what I should do. We are not relatives, you want To buy duck meat for me, in fact, I didn’t have too much thought in my heart. On the one hand, my duck meat is not worried about selling, on the other hand, I think you are just a young man, and you are enthusiastic for a while. But I didn’t expect, you boy It’s really not easy. An ordinary thing that can’t be more ordinary, in your hands, you are like a magician, changing various tricks, and the magic is that you have succeeded in every one. You first learned from your classmates Zhongmai, then opened an online store, and finally participated in provincial competitions. These things have shown your ability, and I have to admire you from the bottom of my heart. You see, about one-third of the duck meat in the store now, You bought it all.

Everything you do for uncle, I see it in my eyes and remember it in my heart.You help your uncle test his driver's license, take him out to play, give Zhan Hu extra lessons for free, tell him many new and strange things that happened outside, and help him solve various difficulties.You are sincerely paying for Uncle.This year with you, Uncle has been very happy every day.

Uncle is a countryman, unlike you city people, he knows what feelings are, and he can't express them when he feels them.Uncle only knows that I miss you in my heart every day. I really think about eating, walking, doing business, and even dreaming at night.Hope you are having a good day.I don’t know if you still remember, there was a period of time, I don’t know why, I was lukewarm to me.I felt so sad that I couldn't eat all day long.As soon as I am free, I will repeatedly recall whether I did something wrong or said something wrong that made you angry.Later, I couldn't bear it anymore, so I took the initiative to go to Xiamen to find you.Seeing that you are so thin, your cheeks are sunken, and your complexion is pale, I know that you have suffered a lot.Uncle is very distressed, the pain is unbearable.It's a feeling I've never felt before.

Sometimes I also think that you and I are good year-end friends, but what you said just reminded me.My feelings for you are really the same as what you said, I want to fully possess you.I once heard you go swimming in the sea with one of your teachers, I was very jealous and sour for several days.

Sometimes, when I lie in bed, I wonder if I can hold you, hold you in my arms, pat your back, and sleep together.I want to protect you, take care of you, and make you happy forever.This should be what you said about liking someone.

You must think that Uncle's life is going well.In fact, you don't know, my wife and I are almost like relatives, and we talk less and less.Sometimes I am very tired, but I don't know who to tell.However, Xiao Mo, after you appeared, everything is different. I seem to be much younger, and I am particularly motivated to do things every day.I hope you will always be with Uncle, and I also want to guard you. "

Uncle Zhan sometimes stared forward with firm eyes, and sometimes turned his head shyly and smiled silly at Li Xiaomo.Uncle Zhan's simple and touching words are like a movie, each delicate and real picture makes Li Xiaomo taste the beautiful years of this year again.He looked at Uncle Zhan affectionately, and said, "Uncle, I am in your eyes, and you are also in my eyes. When you are in pain, I will also be in pain. When you are happy, I will also be happy. You are loved by me." Attractive, I also want to keep getting closer to you. In the future, let the two of us walk together."

Uncle Zhan nodded vigorously, holding Li Xiaomo's small hand tightly with his big hands.The strength they give to each other makes them feel that no matter how difficult the road ahead is, they can't stop them from moving forward.

At this time, Leslie Cheung's warm and touching singing came from the music radio in the carriage.

The footsteps of the dark night are two people

been closely pursued all the way

And your eyes are still innocent

This is a question I've been harboring for a long time

The journey to the end of the world, two people

Constantly falling into the abyss

Are your hands still cold?

until the end of the world only us

Don't hide your lonely heart

Although the world is crueler than we think

I won't cover my lonely eyes

Just because I want to see your innocence

We can keep warm by hugging

We can survive by snuggling

Even in the world of ice and snow

lost identity

We can keep warm by hugging

We can survive by snuggling

even in the crowd

will sink

The journey to the end of the world, two people

☆, 41. To know love, you need to know how to persevere

In May, when the fire umbrella was booming, and in June, when Li was sinking and floating, Li Xiaomo was still working hard to publish papers besides preparing for the exam.These are all preparations for the postgraduate study.As long as Li Xiaomo performs normally in this exam, there will be basically no problem with the insurance research.But to be on the safe side, he still has to publish more papers, and he must not lag behind others academically.With the guidance and help of Teacher Xue, Li Xiaomo successfully published papers in several core journals with a purpose in mind.For this reason, he specially invited Mr. Xue to eat dried pot bullfrogs at a good-sized restaurant on Zhongshan Road.

At the dining table, Mr. Xue was full of praise for the dishes of this restaurant, and the two of them ate very happily.Teacher Xue asked Li Xiaomo if he planned to study abroad. Li Xiaomo shook his head disinterestedly. He asked Li Xiaomo if he would like to be recommended to other schools. Li Xiaomo still shook his head with a straight face.Obviously, Li Xiaomo wants to stay in this school.This made Teacher Xue very happy. From the bottom of his heart, he hoped that Li Xiaomo would continue to exist in his own world.Teacher Xue continued to ask Li Xiaomo whether he was interested in the quantitative economics he taught, and this time Li Xiaomo nodded in satisfaction.In the academic world, Mr. Xue will always be the one who understands Li Xiaomo best.

In fact, about going abroad, Li Chenfu and his wife also talked with Li Xiaomo.They very much hope that Li Xiaomo can go abroad to study management, and he will have the opportunity to take over the family business in the future.Li Chenfu knew that his son's grades were always good, so he felt that going abroad to a prestigious school should not be difficult.But Li Xiaomo was unwilling.Li Xiaomo told his parents that he didn't want to be too far away from them.These are words from the heart.Since Li Chenfu recovered from his illness and remarried with He Chunli.The whole family has experienced the joy and harmony that they have never felt before.Husband and wife respect each other as guests, sons are filial and well-behaved, parents love their children, and sons respect their parents.This once broken family is like pieces of glass that were broken and picked up again. Life put them back into the furnace to melt them, and now they are poured again. The gaps and impurities have long since disappeared, and the clarity remains the same.Li Xiaomo misses the warmth at this moment too much, he is like a thirsty traveler who has gone through hardships in the desert and finally found an oasis, he is reluctant to waste every drop of spring water in his hands.Everything in front of him was so beautiful that it made him forget to leave.Li Chenfu also respects his son very much.After this ordeal, Li Chengfu not only understands life, but also understands his son Xiaomo.Li Xiaomo has really grown up, Li Chenfu, who used to be a towering tree, now occasionally leans on his son's shoulders.When Li Xiaomo was injured and sick, he took care of himself carefully, dealt with problems calmly, and accompanied his mother to be strong.In Li Chenfu's heart, he felt that he owed Li Xiaomo a lot.In the past, he and He Chunli were too busy doing business, so it was difficult for him to take care of Li Xiaomo.Li Xiaomo has always been unfamiliar with them.Now he wants to make up for it.He understands his son's thoughts. In fact, the softest part of his heart is also hoping that his son will not go too far.He wants to give him a complete and warm home and love him well.He Chunli thought so too.The couple said nothing more.

However, these three people who are most familiar with Li Xiaomo only understand half of Li Xiaomo.Because they don't know, Li Xiaomo comes from two worlds.A world belongs to parents and friends.Another world exists only for Uncle Zhan.

Li Xiaomo doesn't want to go anywhere, he just wants to live on Xiamen Island.In this way, he will not be too far away from Uncle Zhan.In the world built for Uncle Zhan, Uncle Zhan is Li Xiaomo's sky, Li Xiaomo's earth, and the clear water on which Li Xiaomo lives.Uncle Zhan is everything to Li Xiaomo.Li Xiaomo is willing to dedicate his love and everything to him.If he left Uncle Zhan, Li Xiaomo would definitely wither.But these thoughts are unknown to everyone, including Uncle Zhan.Li Xiaomo's word "mo" is quietly nourishing the hopeful soul.

After the final exam, Li Xiaomo gave up an Australian summer camp that Li Chenfu had arranged for him.Because he made a temporary decision to take Uncle Zhan on a trip.

This is because, one night, Uncle Zhan called in great frustration and told Li Xiaomo that he and his wife had quarreled.Li Xiaomo blamed Uncle Zhan at first, but after asking what happened, he realized that Uncle Zhan was wrong.Aunt Zhan has recently become obsessed with gambling.She has been doing it quietly, and by the time Uncle Zhan found out, she had already lost more than 1 yuan.How can the honest and responsible Uncle Zhan accept his wife squandering his hard-earned money like this?So the two had a big fight and separated.After Li Xiaomo found out, he was also very shocked.In order to calm Uncle Zhan's anger, he suggested to take Uncle Zhan on another trip so that Uncle Zhan could relax.When a man leaves home, he is actually giving the woman a small punishment.Wait for Uncle Zhan to calm down before talking seriously about this matter with Aunt Zhan.Li Xiaomo understands best that quarreling can never solve any problems, it will only destroy many good things.

Uncle Zhan agreed.

☆、42.Chengdu, please remember me tonight

This time, the destination of their journey is Chengdu, known as the Land of Abundance.According to Li Xiaomo's arrangement, they planned to stay in Chengdu for three days, including visiting the surrounding Leshan Giant Buddha and Mount Emei.The final highlight is the pilgrimage to the paradise on earth - Jiuzhaigou.

Coming out of Shuangliu International Airport, Li Xiaomo wanted to take the airport bus, but Uncle Zhan saw that Li Xiaomo was very tired and the weather was quite hot, so he waved for a taxi.The driver is thin and capable.The taxi drivers in Chengdu are very interesting. They seem to love their language very much. After Li Xiaomo told the driver the name of the hotel, the driver said in Sichuan dialect mixed with Mandarin: "Oh, you are talking about the one on the tenth section of Hongxing Road. Hotel, right?"

"It's not Section [-] of Hongxing Road, it's Section [-]." Li Xiaomo corrected the driver after confirming the text message from Ctrip.

But the driver still insisted on his own idea: "I'm talking about the tenth section of Hongxing Road, that's right."

"It's not ten, it's four. It's the hotel near Chunxi Road." Li Xiaomo was afraid that the driver might go the wrong way, so he looked at the map on his phone and checked again.

"Haha, I know, we are talking about the same place. We Sichuanese are four or ten." The driver brother was very happy.

Li Xiaomo and Uncle Zhan couldn't help but laugh when they heard this.Although the language is not very good, the driver brother is still very enthusiastic to recommend Chengdu's specialties to the two.It can be seen that he loves his city very much.The words reveal happiness and pride.The trees on both sides of the streets in Chengdu are like beautiful Sichuan. They are not tall, but they are very beautiful and full of charm.

Li Xiaomo's hotel is located in the core area of ​​Chengdu, Chunxi Road, not far from Tianfu Square.Surrounded by noisy commercial streets, the streets were full of people, even when they arrived at night, the lights were brightly lit.There are many food business circles around here, and the driver's introduction just happened to verify the information that Li Xiaomo checked before he came.The transportation is also quite convenient, not far from the hotel is the tourist distribution center.Here, you can take a bus to various tourist attractions in Sichuan.

After settling in the hotel, Li Xiaomo took Uncle Zhan to a hot pot restaurant with a high rating on the Internet, called Huangcheng Mama.The business of the hot pot restaurant is very hot, but fortunately Li Xiaomo has made an appointment in advance.Uncle Zhan had already experienced Li Xiaomo's carefulness last time.But this time, I still can't help admiring.Self-guided travel is not familiar with the place of life. If you don’t plan in advance, let alone delay, you are most afraid of unnecessary troubles.Looking around, the decoration in the store is resplendent, and the attitude of the waiters is even more enthusiastic. The handsome guy doesn't listen to his barking, which makes Li Xiaomo blush.Uncle Zhan teased him, he was a handsome guy, but he was afraid of being called by others.Li Xiaomo glared at Uncle Zhan fiercely, as if he wanted to eat him up, and swallowed him in one gulp.

Neither of them can take spicy food, so they ordered the slightly spicy mandarin duck pot.According to the special dishes recommended by the clerk, the two ordered a large table.The belly is strong, the throat is yellow, the brain is fresh and tender, and the fat beef is delicious.Dipping with the unique sesame oil dish of Sichuan hot pot, it has a special flavor.The hotpot in Chengdu has a richer aroma than those in other places. When the steaming hotpot boils, red and white alternate, and the aroma is tangy, which immediately arouses the appetite.The two were sweating profusely after eating, and their mouths were full of fragrance.The fatigue of the day is swept away.

Back at the hotel at night, Uncle Zhan's white shirt had already been soaked in sweat and turned transparent, and his chest hair could be vaguely seen.After closing the door, Uncle Zhan suddenly opened his arms and hugged Li Xiaomo in his arms.Li Xiaomo was flattered at first, but when he smelled the scent of Uncle Zhan's sweat, body odor, and hot pot, he was immediately fascinated. Uncle Zhan's breathing gradually became thicker, and his face was pressed against Li Xiaomo's hair.As soon as Li Xiaomo's body softened, he fell onto the warm and comfortable double bed that had been reserved.

☆, 43. Jade sleeps softly with flowers and pillows, and the moon is full tonight

Li Xiaomo hit the bed heavily, because of the reaction force, his body was lightly bounced by the mattress, and collided violently with Uncle Zhan's body which collapsed like a wall.Li Xiaomo could only let out a sharp breath, so that his abdomen and chest cavity were sunken, so as to meet the strong squeeze of Uncle Zhan's slightly convex stomach and hard chest muscles.Uncle Zhan used his strong hands to hold Li Xiaomo's slender wrist, crossed his head, and separated the two sides.Both legs were not idle, pushing away Li Xiaomo's legs.His knees found a fulcrum on the bed, and the pressure on his chest became stronger.Uncle Zhan put Li Xiaomo into a "big" character.

Uncle Zhan's eyes were bloodshot, and his heavy breathing mixed with hot air sprayed on Li Xiaomo's face like a volcano.Fascinated, he rubbed the tip of his nose against Li Xiaomo's face, and then couldn't stop inhaling the vaguely scented deodorant.

Li Xiaomo suddenly said coldly: "Uncle, I finally understand that in addition to drinking alcohol to make people intoxicated, eating chili can also have such an effect."

Uncle Zhan was also amused, and simply turned his head to one side, pressed his lips tightly against Li Xiaomo's ear, and said in a magnetic voice: "It's not the pepper, it's you who made uncle drunk, hehe." Uncle Zhan's voice was electrified, sending a numbness to his body.

……

Both of them were exhausted, Uncle Zhan fell down, lying on his back, turned his head sideways, smiled softly, looked at Li Xiaomo, his eyes were full of chocolate-like sweetness.Li Xiaomo blushed, raised his head and climbed onto Uncle Zhan's chest, this is his eternal home.He pressed his ear tightly to Uncle Zhan's thick chest, listening to the powerful and rapid heartbeat coming from deep inside his body.

What a wonderful night.

☆, 44. On the tip of the tongue, drunk and dreamy

Chengdu is really a well-deserved city of gourmet food. Li Xiaomo, who has returned to the ranks of "foodies", has come to his own country.In fact, Uncle Zhan is not as interested in eating as Li Xiaomo.But seeing Li Xiaomo happy, he was also happy, so he followed Li Xiaomo and was dragged by Li Xiaomo, shuttling through the streets and alleys of this charming city.

At the beginning, Li Xiaomo was always attracted by some famous food streets and shops.He took Uncle Zhan to the famous Jinli, Chunxi Road and Kuanzhai Alley.Jinli's pissing beef balls, cold cakes, sugar oil fruits, steamed meat with bamboo leaf powder, beef coke cakes, Bobo chicken, Sanheni; Chunxi Road's long Chaoshou, Zhongshui dumplings, Dandan noodles, red oil Chaoshou, Lai Tangyuan, chicken Silk cold noodles, egg baked cakes; Kuanzhai Alley's fat intestine powder, leaf rake, stewed pork, husband and wife lung slices, meat buns, dumplings, ice noodles, pot helmets, three big cannons, and strange noodles.It made Li Xiaomo linger on.Li Xiaomo thought it was inconvenient to look at his mobile phone, so he simply found a printing shop and printed out the food guides on the Internet.Follow the route and look for each house.If you find it and taste it, just put a tick on it.Uncle Zhan was afraid that Li Xiaomo would spoil his stomach, so Li Xiaomo told Uncle Zhan that he adopted a strategy of trying to stop.Uncle Zhan thinks about it too, Li Xiaomo chooses only snacks, not a lot.Following Li Xiaomo, every family is superficial, looking east and west.

However, it was precisely because of this that Li Xiaomo and Uncle Zhan discovered that the real gourmet food in Chengdu was not in the big restaurants like Huangcheng Mama they had been to when they first came to Chengdu.Instead, it is hidden in the depths of various corner streets.Many of them are ugly in appearance, but the deliciousness they serve is amazing.This is what Chengdu people call a house of flies.

So Li Xiaomo changed his strategy, no longer looking for guides on the Internet, but asking random passers-by with a Sichuan accent.The locals must know many fly restaurants.The hard work paid off, and they found a shop that bought taro chicken in a winding and deep alley full of green bamboos.The decoration of this restaurant is really not flattering, the floor is dirty and the tables are shabby.But what is surprising is that there are several BMWs and Mercedes-Benz parked at the door.It seems that people in Chengdu can put down their dignity for the sake of delicious food.Seeing such a bad environment, Li Xiaomo originally wanted to quit, but Uncle Zhan said that since he came, let's try it.After queuing for a while, we finally squeezed into the small restaurant.The boss is very enthusiastic and quickly cleaned up a table in a corner.The tableware on the table was wiped clean by the last batch of diners.After Li Xiaomo and Uncle Zhan sat down, they ordered a pot of slightly spicy.Serving food is slow, and waiting for food can easily make people hungry.Li Xiaomo told Uncle Zhan that his stomach was already growling.Uncle Zhan looked at Li Xiaomo in astonishment as if he had discovered a monster.He couldn't believe that Li Xiaomo digested so much food in such a short time.What kind of iron stomach and copper intestines is this!

After the food was finally served, Li Xiaomo's saliva had already spread to his lips and teeth.Uncle Zhan handed him the chopsticks, and the two devoured it.Li Xiaomo found that restaurants in Chengdu seldom use disposable chopsticks, which he appreciates as he always pays attention to environmental protection.The bowl of delicacies in front of them really did not disappoint the two of them.This is definitely the best food I've had today.The taro is carefully smothered, and the crispness melts in the mouth.Unlike potatoes, taro has an astringent feeling, but is very slippery.Let people live in regret every time they take a bite.Because every time you enter the mouth, the brain tells the tongue to chew and taste, but no matter how hard the lips and teeth try to block it, the taro will easily slide into the throat, it is so delicious that you can't stop.The chicken is also cooked just right, the taste of various spices has penetrated deeply into the meat, and the taste is extremely smooth and tender.Although it was slightly spicy, the two of them were sweating profusely within a short while.But for the first time, Li Xiaomo felt that sweating was so enjoyable.The sweat glands all over the body have opened their doors to remove the heat, just waiting to welcome the spicy food. , Li Xiaomo has sharp eyes, and from time to time finds pieces of meat to hold for Uncle Zhan.Uncle Zhan would put it back in his bowl again.Li Xiaomo and Uncle Zhan buried their heads in the fight for half an hour, eliminating all the edible food in the basin.Even the garlic for seasoning was snatched up.

Li Xiaomo finally understood why the ancients said that one should never enter Sichuan.Tianfu Chengdu, the food here is so tempting, you will definitely be addicted if you eat it.In the world of gourmet food, it's easy to get drunk.Chengdu, just because of its delicious food, can be called a city that you don't want to leave once you come.

Eat and drink enough to prepare for the next day's trip to the Giant Buddha and Emei.Uncle Zhan believes in Buddhism, so Li Xiaomo obviously carefully prepared this arrangement for Uncle Zhan.

☆, 45. Under the Giant Buddha, on the Qingjiang River, feel the peace never before

As soon as they embarked on the journey, the hearts of the two became very religious.Perhaps influenced by the tour guide, the sacred word Buddha kept lingering in their ears.It was a real pilgrimage, the guide told them.The Leshan Giant Buddha is the largest stone Maitreya Buddha in the world, and Mount Emei is also world-famous as the ashram of Samantabhadra, a symbol of morality and virtue.Uncle Zhan was very happy to hear this.

Arrive in Leshan, look at the Giant Buddha.Rather than saying that the Leshan Giant Buddha is a Buddha, it is better to say that it is a mountain.With his hands on his knees, the Buddha sat upright on the verdant Lingyun Mountain.Cixiang looks down at the feet, where the Minjiang River, Qingyi River and Dadu River converge.About half a mile wide, across the mighty misty river is Leshan City.At the suggestion of the tour guide, in order to avoid the tourists around the Buddha.They boarded a beautiful cruise ship from the pier opposite the Big Buddha.

Uncle Zhan and Li Xiaomo were leaning against the railing of the boat, behind them was the clear confluence of the three rivers, and the river was vast.The breeze on the river surface blows away the sweltering heat along the way.Li Xiaomo found that Uncle Zhan was listening very seriously, and it was obvious that he was very interested in what the tour guide said.The tour guide told everyone that the Leshan Giant Buddha was a Maitreya Buddha built in the Tang Dynasty.The initiator of the excavation of the Leshan Giant Buddha was Monk Haitong.Haitong is a native of Guizhou, who lived in Lingyun Mountain.In ancient times, where the three rivers of Leshan converged, the Minjiang River, Qingyi River, and Dadu River converged at the foot of Lingyun Mountain.During the summer flood season, the river water hits the mountain wall directly, often causing the tragedy of shipwreck and human death.Seeing this, monk Haitong determined to dig a statue of Maitreya Buddha from the cliff, hoping to rely on boundless mana power, "Easy stormy waves make calm flow", reduce the water potential, and keep the wind and waves forever.

Just as he was talking, the cruise ship was already approaching the foot of the Buddha.The captain made the boat stand still in the middle of the flowing river, so that it is convenient for tourists to pay their respects to the Buddha.Uncle Zhan asked the tour guide, why not let everyone go ashore to the foot of the Buddha, so that they can offer incense and pray for blessings.The tour guide told Uncle Zhan with a smile. , Maitreya Buddha is the future Buddha and has not been consecrated. Such a Buddha cannot be worshiped indiscriminately.Hearing what the tour guide said, Li Xiaomo looked at the foot of the giant Buddha on the shore, and the tourists who passed by just stopped to take pictures, and no one came forward to offer incense and kneel down.If it is true, remind Uncle Zhan.Li Xiaomo told Uncle Zhan that he very much agreed with the plan chosen by the tour guide. The cruise ship on the river has now become an excellent viewing platform.On the one hand, avoiding the crowds of tourists on the shore, on the other hand, you can fully admire the panoramic view of the Buddha.Uncle Zhan took a closer look and thought it was a good choice.

The Buddha is more than 70 meters high, with his hands on his knees, his body is well-proportioned, and his expression is solemn.The tour guide told everyone that when the Great Buddha was built in the past, it was protected by an attic.Because the material of the Buddha is red sandstone, which is soft and not as strong as granite.But later, it fell into disrepair, and the wooden attic disappeared over the years.However, although the Buddha has been eroded by wind and rain and destroyed by man, it still maintains its beautiful shape.The tour guide explained to everyone that this is because the Leshan Giant Buddha has a very good drainage system, and the scientificity and rigor of the ancient construction projects are admirable.

Li Xiaomo told Uncle Zhan that he had heard before that the mountain where the Big Buddha is located looks like a giant sleeping Buddha, forming a spectacle of "Buddhas among Buddhas".But no matter how the two of them looked at it, they couldn't find the outline of the legend.So I told the tour guide about this doubt.The tour guide smiled and told the two not to worry.After a while, the boat started and retreated hundreds of meters.At this time, the tour guide reminded everyone to observe carefully.Sure enough, following the direction pointed by the tour guide, the Wuyou Mountain, Lingyun Mountain, and Guicheng Mountain behind the Leshan Giant Buddha vaguely form a giant Sleeping Buddha landscape. The "Giant Sleeping Buddha" has complete limbs and a well-proportioned body. It floats peacefully on the ridgeline of Qingyi River, with a straight line distance of more than one kilometer, facing the sky with its back facing the sky, kindly and dignified.What is even more amazing is that the Leshan Giant Buddha is impartial, sitting right at the heart of the giant Buddha.

Such a spectacle made both Li Xiaomo and Uncle Zhan exclaim in surprise.

Looking at this magical Buddha in the distance, facing the fresh river breeze, Li Xiaomo felt so peaceful in his heart.He looked at the equally solemn Uncle Zhan beside him, and gently pulled Uncle Zhan's hand over and held it in his own.

☆, 46. Pious, but thrilling journey

Leaving the Giant Buddha, the next stop on the pilgrimage is Mount Emei.

The road to climb Mount Emei is very rugged, the altitude suddenly rises from more than 500 meters to more than 3000 meters, and the bus turns left and right.Along the way, clear springs gurgled in the valley, and in some places, water flowed directly from the stone walls on the side of the road and sprinkled on the car windows.The sunlight passing through the window glass is refracted into colorful colors by the water droplets.The forest coverage rate of Mount Emei is particularly high, and the virgin forests all over the mountains add a lot of spirituality to the scenery in front of us.The transpiration of plants makes the valleys shrouded in clouds and mist in a short while.As the altitude gradually increases, the forest turns into a shrub.The large pink rhododendrons are extremely gorgeous.

Unfortunately, today, too,
