When the sun rises in spring, it is the most suitable time of the year to ride a motorcycle. You think, at this time, the outdoors in the southwest is basically above 20 degrees, and the temperature is constant within this value range. It will not be hot in the sun or cold without the sun like at high altitudes.
It's not like summer, the air is extremely dry, and the wind blows all the way, blowing my hair like dry grass and scratching my face.
Just very comfortable. Chen Xing grabbed the iron frame behind the motorcycle with both hands, and soon the car drove to the original broken bridge, but now the broken bridge has been repaired and turned into a cement arch bridge, which looks very new.
"Brother, when was this bridge built?"
"Ah? I don't know." The driver was also confused. Isn't it normal for there to be roads? Not all drivers are familiar with this road. The small village of Huaping is still the same remote place as before. Few people come here, and even fewer people ask local motorcycle drivers to deliver it after they arrive.
Moreover, many tourists are disgusted with local motorcycle drivers and find it a bit annoying to come over and ask questions as soon as they get off the car.
This car took Chen Xing to the entrance of the village. Chunman Village is still the same as before. After passing the paddy field, the first building he saw was the two-story grocery store. Chen Xing still remembered that there was a female boss inside who was a little chubby and she was quite nice.
He also exchanged money here. There were fewer people here, and Chen Xing didn't need to wear a mask to disguise himself. He took it off and put it in his pocket.
During this period, he had to bring it with him every time he went out, otherwise he would be easily recognized, especially in his hometown of New Territories. Almost everyone knew that there was a star-like figure in this small place, a photographer. It’s all trending.
Damn it, every time you go out without a mask, you will be caught. Then it ranges from taking photos and signing autographs to being surrounded by several people asking questions.
To be honest, Chen Xing actually likes this feeling of being sought after, but it is really troublesome. And it's okay to have so many people like me outside, but in my hometown, a place where acquaintances are everywhere... it's really embarrassing.
So Chen Xing now habitually wears a mask when going out. Chen Xing didn't strike up a conversation with anyone. He walked all the way up the mountain and passed through the Miao Village. The people in the Miao Village seemed to be used to strangers coming in from the outside. When they looked at Chen Xing, they didn't have the same novelty as before. eyes.
Going down the mountain from the Miao Village is the Dai Village. There are two different styles of buildings in one place. To be honest, if a big boss really comes here for development, builds the road outside, and then builds a visitor center inside the village and does a good job of reception, then this place must be Can become popular.
After Chen Xing left southern Yunnan, he also traveled to many places. In terms of the beauty of traditional architecture, Chen Xing still thinks this place is the most beautiful.
Chen Xing was also taking photos along the way. However, the terraces in this season are not as beautiful as in autumn. The seedlings inside are as green as little cubs.
Arriving at the door of Song Xingwen's house, Chen Xing stood still and knocked on the door. There are no changes here, except that there is an extra thread outside the door and a lot of small colorful stones are hung, which are very colorful and beautiful.
This was probably done by Song Xingwen. He was a painter after all, so it was normal to like these little artistic things.
Song Xingwen opened the door. There was green paint on his face, and he looked like he was working. When he saw Chen Xing, he was stunned for a moment and did not recognize Chen Xing immediately.
Song Xingwen knew that Chen Xing was coming, and he also knew that he would come to find him. But this change is also a bit too big.
Are there really people who become more handsome as they grow older? Last year, my skin was just white, and it felt pink and tender, with a little meaty feel in the style of old Hong Kong movies.
But now he is a little taller than a year ago, his cheeks are thinner, his eyes are big and bright, his skin is not as pink as before, but it is still fairer than ordinary people, and his temperament is excellent.
People with a slightly more introverted personality will feel uncomfortable standing in front of this person. Fortunately, Song Xingwen has always been confident.
"Chen Xing?"
"Well, it's me. Why, can't you recognize me?" He made way for Chen Xing to come in first, and then said: "If I hadn't known that you didn't have time to go to Bangzi Country in your schedule this year, I would have thought you were going for plastic surgery. ...Actually, if you look carefully, your appearance hasn't changed much, but overall it looks very different from before. You really..." He even wanted to say some curse words to express his indignation. How could someone in his twenties still do this? He became a handsome man, but in the end he just said: "I'm convinced, I'm convinced. Do you want to come over this time to see Taolin?"
"Yes, have the flowers bloomed?"
"It's been open a long time ago. If you come a little later, you won't be able to see it." Song Xingwen poured a glass of boiled water for Chen Xing. Chen Xing thanked him and took it, then asked: "After my travelogue was published, who will come here to travel?" There are not many people.”
"Not much, but not much. There are always a few waves every month." Song Xingwen thought for a while and then said,
"They mainly like to live next to the Miao family. They don't like our wooden buildings very much. They even think that my paintings ruin the atmosphere of the village."
"Impossible!" Chen Xing said quickly.
"Your murals will only add to the atmosphere, how can it destroy it? The people who come probably don't know much about traditional architecture, so don't take their words too seriously."
"I know, there are still some people who know how to appreciate it. The method you taught me is very useful. I now have over 100,000 fans on the entire Internet. A few days ago, my boss invited me to paint a wall painting at their home. 60,000 yuan."
"You agreed directly? What if you find it too difficult in the past?"
"How can we agree directly? Let's go and have a look in a few days before we talk." Chen Xing took a few sips of water and looked around the room.
"You seem to be the only one in the family."
"My sister came back to stay for a day. She had to go back to school in the evening. She and my mother went shopping in the county town in the morning. It is estimated that my mother will not come back until evening. I said you will like the food cooked by my mother. Don't you miss it very much now? ?" Chen Xing was a little silent.
What do you miss, fried moss?
"You didn't tell your sister I would come?"
"What are you talking to her for?" Song Xingwen looked strange, and then asked warily,
"Are you in contact with my sister?"
"No, absolutely not, I'm just asking." Based on Chen Xing's understanding of Song Shulan, if she knew that she would be back in the past two days, she would probably wait until the last minute to leave, or skip school directly?
It's not like I've never done this kind of thing before. However, Song Shulan's current results are pretty good. She scored over 540 in the monthly exam before she lost contact half a month ago. It seems that there should be no problem with this book. If she works hard or is lucky, she can get into 211.
"I'm warning you, my sister is about to take the college entrance examination. You can't interfere with her, otherwise I won't be polite to you, even if you are my brother! You have harmed Yang Xiu, but you can't harm my sister again. "
"Poof!" Song Xingwen had the foresight to escape from Chen Xing's spray range in advance.
"Damn it, don't talk nonsense. Why do you mean I've caused trouble to Yang Xiu? You're a kid. You're only fifteen this year. Do you know it's against the law?" Chen Xing was startled.
How dare you say such outrageous things? If your words are heard by a few people, then I will have to be called by the police for questioning.
By the way, did you not step over the brazier when you came back from the police station last time? You won't be caught again, right?
"What's wrong with being fifteen? There are a lot of people getting engaged at fifteen over there. Aren't you only nineteen? Oh, you're twenty this year, right?" The group of people with the old ideas haven't left yet, and Ten years ago, the control of this village was very strong. It was not until recently that this group of educated young people gradually grew up, and many of the old traditions in the village were abolished.
It cannot be said that it has been completely abolished, but many young people no longer abide by it.
"Who spread this? It's illegal to spread rumors!" Song Xingwen smiled and said: "The child said it herself. Many people in our village know that she said she wanted to marry you, and she also said that you made an appointment to see the peach blossoms this year. You Don’t say you didn’t come here just for her.”
"What the hell! Can I think of this?" He just came here to take pictures of his peach blossoms. Last year, he saw that the peach grove was huge and the flowers would be beautiful when it bloomed, so he decided to visit it the next year.
Just like many people drive for a long time just to see the cherry blossoms on the Han University campus, Chen Xing also came here just for the scenery.
Not for sex. Before, he only thought that this sister was quirky, smart and obedient. Who would have thought that she would stab me in the back.
Chen Xing had goosebumps all over his body and said, "Damn, she can't let me know that I'm here this time. Is she studying?"
"It's Sunday. I'm at home. I won't go to school until tomorrow morning."
"Then I'll stay at your house for one night and I won't go out."
"But I have to go out. An old uncle has built a new house. I have to help him paint something. I was just getting paint. If you hadn't come, I would have left. Oh, I won't say it anymore. The agreed time has passed." The host was about to leave, and Chen Xing was embarrassed to stay in someone else's house.
As if it was really time, Song Xingwen quickly ran away carrying two large buckets. Chen Xing stood on the road a little at a loss, looked around, and finally decided to move forward and go to the peach grove first. The peach grove was located behind the Dai village, and Yang Xiu must not have been there either. You'll just go there if you have nothing to do... right?
It took a lot of effort to come here, but you can't run back in a panic just because of this little thing. Forget it, just pretend you don’t know.
Chen Xing took a few breaths of air to calm down, and then walked towards the Taolin. On the way, Chen Xing also saw two city dwellers, probably lovers. The man was holding a camera to take pictures of some Dai houses painted by Song Xingwen.
It seems that some tourists also like his style. Chen Xing doesn't know if Song Xingwen's other paintings are great, but there is no doubt that he has a deep understanding of the traditional culture of the Dai people, and he should also have an understanding of Buddhism. Some of the people painted on the walls are kind-hearted, and there are many temples. The Buddha statues inside are similar.
And it’s not just a superficial image, it can also be integrated into the environment of the building itself, which is amazing.
It’s no wonder that Song Xingwen didn’t want to leave here after graduation. After leaving the environment in his hometown, it’s not certain whether his paintings can adapt to the urban environment outside.
Among the people who came to see the Miao village in Chen Xing's Travels, some probably didn't like the style of the Dai people, so they said his paintings ruined the overall environment.
In fact, Chen Xing thinks that these two villages can really be viewed separately, so that they can see two scenic spots in one trip. Those who read Chen Xing’s travels and come here to see the Miao Village can also see the Dai Village for free. The scenery, isn’t this a surprise?
Keep walking and cross a hill. You can't see the buildings behind you, and you can't hear the sounds in the village. There is a peach forest in front of you.
Chen Xing was deeply impressed by this peach grove. He remembered that a small house was built in front of the peach grove. This peach grove used to be managed by someone, but later, I don’t know whether it was a loss of money or something else, and everything was abandoned.
Before seeing the small house, Chen Xing was attracted by the pink woods. The peach blossoms here are partly white and mostly pink. The flowers are smaller than the peach blossoms Chen Xing has seen before. I don’t know what kind they are, but they are undoubtedly very ornamental and beautiful. These peach blossoms are somewhat It's so dense that even the branches of the peach trees look pink.
Such a tree, alone, can only be beautiful. But what if it’s so densely packed that you can’t see the end at a glance from outside the forest?
Beautiful, so beautiful! Yang Xiu didn't lie last year. The peach blossom parks outside that require a fee to enter are nothing compared to this. Not only are the peach blossoms here beautiful, but they are also free and undisturbed.
Each peach blossom fairy is beautiful alone in this deserted mountain. Chen Xing's face turned red with excitement, and he walked quickly in the peach blossom forest. He didn't know whether to take a close-up shot of the peach blossoms first or a long shot of the peach blossoms first. He also felt that just taking pictures of the peach blossoms might be a bit monotonous. If you have a body, It would be great if a woman wearing Hanfu could be his model.
He has always liked the clothes of ethnic minorities, but sometimes, Hanfu is the most beautiful. Such as now.
Chen Xing thought of You Jiangling from Chengdu, a grandma who makes Hanfu herself and has 700,000 to 800,000 fans on Bizhan.
But his attention has surpassed hers. It's too late to call her over now. Just shoot it like this.
Chen Xing first took a lot of photos in the peach forest, and then went out of the peach forest to find a farther perspective to take pictures, trying to put what he saw in front of him into the photos as much as possible.
To put it bluntly, photography is just such a process. Just like a painter, I feel that what I see in front of me is too beautiful and shocking, so I use my own way to record this beauty and shock.
It's a pity that I am not proficient in oil painting, otherwise oil painting can best reflect the atmosphere of the peach forest in front of me. As soon as we walked out of the woods, we met a group of people.
A group of seven or eight girls ranging from twelve or thirteen to twenty years old. Among them is Yang Xiu. When Yang Xiu saw Chen Xing, she was shocked at first and felt that her brother Chen Xing had become more beautiful. Then she was ecstatic and ran towards Chen Xing: "Brother Chen Xing, you are here as expected! I miss you so much!" "Chen Xing stared blankly at a group of girls who also thought it was outrageous.
Just retreat and run away. Come if you come, we can chat if you come alone, why the hell did you bring someone with you! You’re really not afraid of me going in!
A teenage girl saw the scene in front of her and jumped up and shouted: "Sister Xiu'er is chasing a man, sister Xiu'er is chasing a man!"
