58, Chapter 58(1/2)

Exit Jingkou and head to the northwest for more than ten miles, beside the south bank of the Yangtze River, and the mountain is Jinshan.

There is a temple in the mountain, a pagoda on the top, and a tide viewing platform behind the temple is called Youlongtai.

The tide of the river is like a dragon, flowing eastward from the foot of the mountain every night, never stopping. When people climbed the platform, they looked north to the mountains and rivers, and saw them all. Since ancient times, they have been a popular place for literati and poets. To this day, they have crossed south and half of the northern wall of the river have fallen. This place has become a place where southerners miss the past and the present, and on the nearby mountain wall, there are many famous people inscribed walls, which attract people to admire and become another kind of scenery.

Under the golden mountain, there is still a peach forest. This spring is early in spring. As A Ting said, the peach blossoms are just beginning to bloom. Today, the spring is bright again, and the river is like a mirror. When a few people arrive, boats and boats are coming and going, and people traveling in the spring are endless.

Li Mu hired a boat and helped Luoshen board the boat. He didn't need him to support him, so he jumped on it impatiently. Qiongshu Cherry and others who were traveling with him also happily boarded the boat with food baskets and umbrellas, tents, towels, and handkerchiefs.

Everyone sat down. The boatman shouted and sang fisherman's song, and the boat headed towards Jinshan in the wind. When he reached the foot of the mountain, the group landed on the shore, walked and stopped in the peach forest, and swam for half a day. In the evening, when he heard that the vegetarian food in Jinshan Temple was very famous, he climbed the mountain and entered the temple again.

The abbot here recognized Li Mu and heard from the monks that he had brought his family into the temple to use a vegetarian food today. He hurriedly came out to greet him in person. He saw a woman next to him with a face covering her face. Although he couldn't see her face clearly, he looked at her clothes for a young age. Another girl in her teens next to the woman, followed by five or six servants who looked like maids. He knew that it was Li Mu's family and his wife, Gao, was not convenient to look closely. After greeting Li Mu, he led the person into the room and ordered someone to serve tea and water.

After a moment, vegetarian rice was served one after another. Although mushrooms, bamboo shoots, bean curds, and vegetarian chicken were just ordinary vegetarian dishes, they were cooked with great care. They even liked the cups and plates that complement each other well. In addition, after spending half a day, everyone was hungry and felt very delicious when they were in their mouths. Even the Luoshen, who had always had a small appetite, couldn't help but eat a few more bites.

When the meal is over, the monk and Taoist will have a river tide passing by the foot of Jinshan Mountain around Xu hour tonight. According to previous experiences, it should be the highest tide since the beginning of spring. Since people have arrived in the temple, it would be a pity if they do not watch the tide.

Not to mention that Ah Ting was ready to move and kept urging him, even the God of Luo was a little moved when he heard this.

She grew up in Jiankang. The river tides were flooded by the banks of Bailuzhou. She was originally familiar with the night tides of the river.

But today, perhaps there is a companionship by your side, and everything is fresh and fun.

In fact, I was tossed for most of the night last night, and I swam for half a day today. My legs and feet were already weak, but I was reluctant to go back like this. Without A Ding's instigation, I looked at Li Mu.

She didn't have to speak, Li Mu only glanced at her and caught the expectation in her eyes.

She also wanted to watch the night tide of the spring river, how could he refuse? He nodded with a smile. So the group continued to linger in the temple and waited for the night tide to arrive.

It was also funny. Originally, A Ting was looking forward to the most. As soon as the sky was dark, the moon left the river, so she couldn't wait to go to Youlongtai and said she was going to wait for the river tide. She didn't expect that because of the hard work, she ate too much dinner and gradually became sleepy. She came back with a yawn. She said that she might as well sleep for a while and wait for the tide to come, and asked her brother and sister-in-law to call her.

Luo Shen agreed. A Ting fell asleep with confidence.

Before the night tide arrived, Luo Shen followed Li Muxian to visit the mountain temple at night. When the two came out of Guanyin Pavilion, they heard the monk saying that the tide was coming. She remembered A Ting's advice and hurriedly came back to call her in person. Unexpectedly, she slept hard and screamed several times, but she only turned over, smacked her lips a few times, and fell asleep again.

Luo Shen was funny and angry.

Just as he was about to push her to wake her up, he reached out to his side and quietly pinched her hand.

"Call her to sleep! Let's go watch the tide."

Li Mu came over with his ear, said softly, then held her hand, turned around and took her out.

The moonlight in the mountains is bright, and the shadows of trees beside the road are heavy.

Luo Shen was shook hands by the man beside him, held them, and slowly walked on the mountain steps washed into white by the moonlight, heading towards the tide observation platform.

The air was filled with the unique fragrance of flowers and trees in early spring. I heard quietly in my ears, and I only heard a few sounds of night birds flapping their wings when they were hiding in the dark.

This moonlit night on the riverside in early spring is so leisurely and peaceful.

The God of Luo stopped and stood on the tide observation platform at his feet.

The bright moon in the spring river rises slowly in the east.

In the distance, at the end of the line of sight, a tide that looked like a white line was surging towards the Jinshan Mountain. It gradually came closer. As the river road suddenly narrowed, the tide head was swirling rapidly, hitting the rocks on the river bank, and rolling out snow waves.

The spring tide passes by, the river rises sharply, and the waves are sparkling, like the sky and the sea, endless.

On this night, the river flows, the moon is hazy, and the smoke is curling.

The peach blossoms by the river, reflected by the moon shadow on this spring night, are like a phantom of flying flowers in a dream.

Luo Shen leaned on the shoulders and arms of the man beside him, motionless, and was immersed in this dreamy moonlight.

Suddenly, a sound of a clear mountain temple meditation bell came from my ears.

The bell has not yet disappeared, and in the distance, I don’t know where the river bank is located. As if it is in harmony, the fishing drums sound again with the wind, with a few desolate singing voices mixed in the middle.

Listening carefully, what I sang was an ancient homesick song.

"...Who calls it He Guang? Yi Wei Hangzhi. Who calls it Song Yuan? I look at it."

"Who said He Guang? He once did not allow swords. Who said Song Yuan? He once did not respect the Chao..."

The song is ethereal and untuned, and it is vaguely distinguishable, bringing some residual accent from the old capital Luoyang.

After only a few sounds, he lowered and gradually disappeared.

Only the sound of Zen bells remain, the lingering sounds of the river and the moon shadows scattered.

The God of Luo thought that it was the man from the old capital who came south in his early years. He sailed on the river tonight and felt moved by the scenery, and then sang this song of the ancient Song people's homesickness song.

She was born in the Southern Dynasty and grew up in Jiankang. As long as I can remember, the Central Plains in Jiangbei had become a place for the Hu people.

Even my name came from the Luo River. But I didn’t have much obsession with the Central Plains that I had never set foot in before.

But on such a spring night with flowers and moon, perhaps because of the desolate and homesick song just now, I remembered that the Hu horses still neighed in the Central Plains, and when I thought of Aye's Northern Expedition, I was slightly moved.

She looked up and looked at Li Mu beside her, and saw his eyes looking ahead.

She couldn't help but follow him and looked at the river.

As I entered my eyes, the moon was vast and the void was empty, and the river tide was endless, rolling by under my feet.

He kept looking at it, silent, his eyes as if he had crossed the vast river chasm under the night, looking at the place on the other side that she could not reach.

"what's on your mind?"

She couldn't help but be confused, and followed him for a moment, and finally couldn't help asking softly.

She saw him being called back, lowered her head and stared at her, but for a long time, she still didn't answer her.

Under the moonlight, his face was solemn and his eyes were calm.

Such a person was something she had never seen before.

Even though I had such a blind date with him last night, I still felt unfamiliar.

I became more and more confused, and there was a hint of uncertainty.

"What's wrong with you? Look at me like this?"

She hesitated and asked again.

He stretched out his arms, took her into his arms, and hugged her.

The familiar feeling that made her feel at ease came back immediately.

"Ami, I'm going to do one thing."

"Maybe that day, the people in the world will be enemies of me."

She heard him in her ear and said slowly.

"But remember that in the future, even if the whole world is enemies of me, I will not hurt you and your parents."

Luo Shen was stunned.

She couldn't understand what he was saying.

She raised her face from his arms: "What are you going to do? Why do people in the world take you as their enemy?"

Li Mu lowered his head, stared at the face under the moonlight, and smiled slightly.

"You will know in the future. I just need to remember my words."

He was smiling at her, his eyes were so gentle again.

But in his smile, Luo Shen clearly felt a hint of loneliness.

It was like the dark night walking alone in the world, the only thing that accompanied him was a lonely shadow behind him.

She stared at him in a daze, and a burst of sorrow and pity slowly surged in her heart.

No matter what he wants to do in the future, no matter whether the people in the world want to be hostile to him.

She didn't know what happened before.

But from now on, she thought that she would not continue to leave him alone, making him lonely.

"Mr. I remember it."

As soon as her heart heated, her words rushed out, and she called him the husband for the first time.

After the words came, the man leaned into his arms, wrapped his arms around his waist, and buried his face in front of his chest.

Li Mu's figure frozen for a moment, and suddenly he had a backhand, hugged her tightly, and lowered his head and kissed her.

...

The Goddess of Luo was carried down by Li Mu.

I held her until the temple gate before I put her down.

Asting pouted, complaining that when they didn't wake her up to watch the tide, Luo Shen's face also had a blush that had not subsided.

She couldn't help but secretly looked at Li Mu.

He smiled and coaxed Ah Ting, saying that he would compensate her for the best kites next time, and let her go to the east store to choose from. He said it was too late and urged her to go back. As he spoke, his eyes kept glancing at him, his eyes flashing with strange light.

Luo Shen knew everything and knew what he was thinking.

Thinking of last night, my heart was like a deer bumping into me, and my face became hot again. I turned my face away and stopped looking at him.
