Chapter 55

Gu qianrong quickly decided the next place to go. She looked at the map and found a millennium old town around her. She decided to take a chance.

After driving a section of road, the car will not drive forward, and the road will gradually become water. The driver kindly told Gu qianrong that she could take a boat to the place she wanted to go. Gu qianrong thanks the driver and starts to move forward.

The place Gu qianrong is going to is called Lizhuang.

Because it is relatively closed, the historic sites preserved in Lizhuang are very complete, and they attract a lot of people. However, the local government managers did not transform it because of the profits brought by tourism. Instead, they strictly controlled the number of tourism, gave it the best protection, and made it present in front of the world, so that everyone who wanted to find Lizhuang in the past could get to know it well, Instead of using some modern architectural means to restore those ancient things.

Gu qianrong soon saw the boatman. After she found a boat, she began her new journey.

The boat is also an old one, with its oars gently swayed by the boatman. There are thick reeds on both sides. The sound of oar rowing is loud, which will start a large group of waterfowls. Now is a good season for reed growth, green like a layer of green cloth spread on the water, let Gu qianrong still have a desire to explore. The water is light and quiet, reflecting the sky and clouds. After a while, a circle of sounds will be heard from the reeds. Gu qianrong's eyes are attracted by those sounds. The boatman looked at her and kindly told her that it was a water bird laying eggs. Well, they were very timid and worried about their baby's safety when there was a sound, so they would make some sounds, which made us dare not approach easily.

The boatman's paddle is lighter. The paddle goes underwater and ripples circle after circle.

After about 20 minutes, Gu went to the shore and asked the boatman about the accommodation. The boatman said that there are generally only B & B and no hotels. He can go to the lodgers and ask if they accept B & B, and then he can enjoy the most primitive life of Li Zhuang.

Gu qianrong suddenly felt that it was right to come here. She thinks that this place is likely to achieve his new design ideas.

Gu qianrong walked for a while, and found that the doors of every family were open, which had the style of ancient adherents, and never closed at night.

Gu qianrong stopped in front of a courtyard with her feeling. She went up and knocked on the door. Soon an old voice came from inside, "who is it?"

Gu qianrong politely stood at the door and said, can I stay here?

Inside the hall came a mother-in-law with silver hair.

If we only look at the color of her hair, Gu qianrong thinks that she should be over 80 years old. But when she sees her mother-in-law's eyes, he is not sure. That pair of eyes did not show the old man's kind of dull and turbid, but very clear eyes, a look is that kind of very capable feeling. My mother-in-law wore a pair of embroidered shoes in the morning. Her feet were very small and her head was wrapped with a blue cloth towel.

Gu qianrong said hello to her mother-in-law politely. Her mother-in-law didn't feel very strange when she heard that she was a lodger. Instead, she said warmly, "come on in. It happens that I'm the only one living here now. I'm very excited if you want to accompany me.

Her mother-in-law brought water to Gu qianrong, and then brought her a towel to wash her face. Mr. Zhu noticed that his mother-in-law's hand, arm is very thin, still has that kind of old and thin feeling, the upper part of the arm is well-defined, with three silver bracelets, which is very beautiful in the sun. The mother-in-law's clothes are also very ethnic, that kind of clothes are blue, and the cardigan clothes are embroidered with one purple flower after another. Gu can't say his name, but he just thinks it's beautiful. Her mother-in-law found that Gu qianrong was looking at her clothes. She was embarrassed and asked him, are you looking at my clothes?

Gu qianrong nodded and said, "it's very beautiful. I just don't know what kind of painting the flowers on it are."?

"This is Yilan flower, which is unique to Li Zhuang. When you came, you saw the water outside Li Zhuang, which blocked Li Zhuang from the outside. But I've been out before, and I haven't seen this kind of flower outside. It seems that it only grows in Lizhuang. This kind of flower is very peculiar. It's not in spring, it's not in summer, it's in autumn. Its flowering season is very short, only three days, usually in the morning, when it is still a piece of green grass, at night it is already a gorgeous purple red. Looking at it in the setting sun, it looks like a piece of land has been dyed purple red, so dazzling. After it has opened for more than three days, the whole leaves will wither quickly, and the flowers will wither, giving people a kind of depression in autumn, So many people here don't call it Yilan, but also call it life flower.

Life flower? Gu has some questions. Why is it called the flower of life?

"Well, if ordinary people don't take him

If it thinks about it, it must think that it's very short for him to drive for three days. How can it compare with the things that sound very long in life? But in this short three-day flowering season, from the beginning of the grass leaf growth, to make the bedding for its flowering, to bloom when the gorgeous, like a breath to release the strength of this life. It has only a short three-day flowering period, so it wants to show its gorgeous to the world in these three days, so it must be the most beautiful flower in this season. When these three days have passed, it will wither again quickly, as if it has never been in full bloom, as if it were not human, and everything will be gone when it is old. "

Gu qianrong nodded and said, "did the people in Li Zhuang embroider it on their clothes because they like its vitality?"?

The old man shook his head and said, it's not that people in Li Zhuang like to embroider it on their bodies. On the contrary, people in Li Zhuang are not very interested in this kind of flower, because he likes it

Although it is open for a short time, it is very common in Lizhuang. Maybe it's because the climate in Lizhuang is very good. There are all kinds of flowers all year round, so people don't take it too seriously. Maybe only I embroidered it on my body.

Intuition tells her that mother-in-law Gu is a person with a story. Gu qianrong waited patiently for her mother-in-law to say the following. Unexpectedly, her mother-in-law patted her thigh and said that she forgot to serve you tea. I'll take it now.

Gu qianrong quickly said, "don't worry, don't worry, my mother-in-law, you don't have to be too busy."
