On October 19, 2014, I, along with Ginkgo Biloba, Dead Fish, Rose, and Lamei, had planned to ride the Xiaocao Dam in Yiliang County, Yunnan Province, but the plan did not change quickly, so I temporarily changed my mind and went to Caohai in Guizhou. From Sichuan to Guizhou, from Guizhou to Yunnan, 5 women rode for three days without a plan and without a point. These three days, the heavens are caring, every day the sun shines; the character is super good, no one has a flat tire, no one falls; 5 women, all the way to complete the ride with laughter. Yesterday, CCTV reported on the apples of Zhaotong, Yunnan, and remembered this pleasant trip.
In the middle of the night last night, I was thrown by the train at the station, panicked and saw a hotel on the side of the road, and quickly broke into it to stay. For safety. The reception girl told us that the hotel can watch the sea.
The first thing I did when I woke up was to open the window in a disheveled manner. Last night, the front desk sister said to open a sea view room for us. The room didn't have a balcony, but it was nice to be able to see the sea from under the window.
As soon as I pushed open the window, a cold wind pounced on me. It's like going on a date with a lover, but when you get to the ground, you are hit by the lover, saying that you want to break up, and the cold around you can't help but shiver a few times. But I was obsessed, still hunched over, braving the bone-chilling "head stick", like looking at the lover who changed his heart, praying and searching outside the window, hoping for the lover who changed his heart to look back. But the harvest is still cruel: the sky is gray, the morning sun is shadowless, the seabirds are gone, and the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings.
Fall into the cold again. Where is the sea of grass, and where is the sea of grass?
Unwilling to accept such an ending, we still have to search carefully, still have to look back, still have to search carefully. Singing, "Only because I have seen you more in the sea of people", although I have only listened to you once, my heart is racing, and it is not overnight. Finally, under the gray sky, I saw a distant, distant, stretch of water.
Retracting back into the warm blanket, the mind was still the blurry waters. That's the sea of grass, and that's the sea of grass? It's just a pond!
Ginkgo said that the sea of grass is like a min river. I didn't say a word, but in my heart I said, Min Jiang, much wider, Min Jiang, more beautiful.
Not to mention the great achievements of the Min River being tamed and diverted in Dujiangyan to nourish the country of Tianfu, not to mention the heroism of the Min River joining the Yangtze River at the mouth of the Three Rivers in Yibin, only to say that the Min River in the Xinmin section of the county is also a reed fluttering, the mountains are stacked, the rivers are gentle, and the rivers are so delicate; only to say that the Min River in the high section of Yibin County, the cliffs are towering, the rivers are turbulent, and the Danshan Clear Water is dangerous; only to say that the Min River area where the five of us grew up from childhood is not as dangerous as the high section, not as good as the Jiao of the Xinmin section, that is also a rich land, and the sky is unique, the terrain on both sides of the river is open, and the river is from Laojun Dam , fire palm dam... Wait for the rich to cross, hao hao yang.
How can the waters that need to be carefully searched to discover be compared with the Minjiang River that gave birth to me and raised me?
A handsome, mighty lover who thought he was going to meet was almost a beautiful confidant, but who admitted it was a vague embarrassment.
As a result, breakfast time was delayed for a long time. Eat slowly, pack slowly, check out slowly. The Grass Wine Hotel brought us a sense of security last night, and this morning, it brought us a wisp of warmth, little by little, covering our necks: two waiter girls took our water glasses to the kitchen and filled them with hot boiling water.
Slowly pack up and leave the safe, warm hotel.
Road, wide. Road, stretching out towards the town of Caohai.
Where are we going to ride? No one asked, no one said.
Riding on the road is freedom and happiness. Perhaps, as the dead fish said, an unplanned trip is the best trip.
A noon woman wrapped in a turban comes down from the overpass carrying a vegetable basket. Parked and patiently waited for her to approach. I asked, "How do you go along the ring road?" ”
"The Ring Road?" The middle-aged woman's eyes were blank. I said we wanted to ride along the sea of grass, and the middle-aged woman understood, pointing behind us, "You've walked through, go down from that intersection." ”
"Isn't there a road ahead?"
The middle-aged woman was dazed again before she said: "Yes, the front traffic light turns right down to the dock, you go to the dock and ask about the ring road." ”
Ask clearly is the second traffic light to turn right and continue to move forward. After the first traffic light, see two traffic police on duty on the side of the road. If you don't know the road, under the nose is the road. Quickly ask again. A traffic policeman directly shook his head and said that he did not know the ring road; a traffic policeman was also like the middle-aged woman in front of him, dazed for a while, heard me say that riding along the sea of grass, only then pointed to the right side of the road and said, this road is repaired, go directly to the intersection and turn left, down to the lower road and then turn right, all cement road.
Asked how many kilometers there are around the sea of grass, the traffic police shook their heads and said that this really did not know.
Don't say that the locals of Caohai don't know about the ring road. The ring road is the name of the road that pops up in my head temporarily and suddenly when I ask for directions. I didn't make a road book, nor did I discuss how to ride today, so I took it for granted that cycling around the grass sea must be riding around the sea. To walk around the sea of grass, you must ride along the ring road.
That highway, among the local population, is really called a highway, I don't know.
However, the next question for directions went smoothly. Drawing on the lesson that the locals who asked the locals directly about the "ring road" directly asked the locals, they all told people how to go along the coastal riding circle of the ring road.
However, I did not listen to the traffic police's first left turn and then turn right, and on the way, I saw a dirt road shortcut, and directly pushed the cart to go. Who would have thought, the dirt road is muddy and rough, and there is not even a foot down. In a downhill place, forgot to pinch the brakes, I could not keep up with the speed of the bicycle's decline, in order to prevent even people with cars from falling, decisively gave up the car to protect the marshal, so that the little white who had followed me for three years was covered in yellow mud. Down to the side of the highway, under the water pipe of a farmer's yard dam, xiaobai was re-cleaned (writing here, I suddenly found that, god, xiaobai's problem all the way is because of the injury I suffered from the car?). ）。
Finally see the sea, the sea of grass. Still far away. Still vague. But, the sky, gave us a surprise.
The sky suddenly brightened. The sun was shining and the clouds were white.
The sky is blue, and I can't find a word in my sea to describe its blue. If pure is used, then the shy smile of the little girl in the mountain can be compared; if it is pure, then the stream in the deep stream seems appropriate; if pure beauty is used, then the love of the old third to Jingqiu in "Hawthorn Tree" may be compared.
But these are far from enough.
I remembered that it would be more appropriate to use the enthusiasm of the locals in the sea of grass for strangers.
At the Grass Sea Hotel, a waitress girl heard that we needed boiling water, so she quickly collected all our cups and bottles and took them to fill with water. She couldn't finish it at once, and called another girl. We said we came, and they said, no, no.
The girl in the hotel may be professional, then, the grass sea guy he met on the train is purely a warm-hearted person. The boy is in his twenties, wearing a black jacket and denim, with his hair upright, and he looks like a dissolute little who is chaotic and socially debauched. A conversation, but very enthusiastic, not only introduced us to the sea of grass in detail to eat, live, travel, but also helped to contact the hotel.
Also, when asking for directions at an intersection, I just happened to ask an old man with some ears. Although it was very difficult to listen to us, he still patiently and half-understood to show us the way; a young man who was working in a nearby farm quickly stopped his work to talk and answer all the questions; a farm car stopped and answered our questions.
The Grass Sea people are like this, unguarded enthusiasm, warming us. Like the blue sky overhead, in an instant, it dispelled the cold wind in the morning without a trace.
Those white clouds are the smiling faces of the blue sky. Greet it loudly with a cry of joy: Ah, hi, uh...
With this blue sky in front of you, even if the sea of grass is not as beautiful as the legend, it is not worth it.
But, the sea of grass, did not disappoint.
This tree has always been in my memory
One tree, only one tree, stands resolutely on the side of the road. The leaves are yellowish and the trunk will be bald. All the branches stretch out in one direction – the sea of grass!
Transplanted by the scenic developer? I don't think so. Otherwise, it wouldn't be a tree, it should be a row, a row, a road. They gathered in clusters, dense, lively, noisy, shady.
But it, quietly, alone, alone, stood on one side. Is it a seed that falls from the tiredness of the bird, or a drop of water that is discarded when the sea of grass recedes?
On the side of the road, facing the sea of grass, a tree stood as a landscape.
Turn another corner and the view suddenly opens up. A sea of grass suddenly appeared in front of the eyes.
The sea of grass is not large, and the water area is 25 square kilometers. Sea of grass, as the name suggests, grass grows in water. The water flooded the grass, and the grass soaked in the water. The weeds on the side of the road are gradually yellowing, withering and withering, and in the sea, it is still green grass and still blue water.
Does the water moisturize the grass, or does the grass decorate the sea? Just as we are on the road, do we add to the scenery, or does the scenery enrich our lives?
In fact, as far as I am concerned, I prefer the scenery of "blue clouds, yellow flowers". Poets often compare autumn to the season of decay and haggardness, but in my eyes, autumn has a lofty and calm beauty, just like life in middle age, mature without losing vitality, deep but not old-fashioned.
Autumn in the sea of grass came later than Yibin. In the field, there were still corn stalks after harvest; on the side of the road, the "salvation grain" was as bright red as a flower; and when a bend was turned, the lavender was stained purple with a patch of water.
Riding photos and road signs on the way were taken with a camera while riding
Does our gorgeous posture also add a scenery to the sea of grass?
We don't know where the road is, we don't know how far the road is, how the scenery is, we don't know where the destination is, but we embark on the journey without hesitation, to the unknown journey.
Who gave us such strength, gave us such courage?
Ginkgo biloba's mobile phone call ringtone can be annotated -
Nothing can stop it
You yearn for freedom
A career of imagination
Your heart is free
Walk through the dark years
I also felt wandering
The moment you look down
Only then did I realize the road under my feet
The free world in the heart
So clear and lofty
Blooming and never withering
Blue Lotus——
When the sunset inlaid a layer of gold edge on the distant mountains, we circled around the sea of grass and arrived safely, smoothly and happily in Weining County- Caohai Town.
