Jiangnan mountain city, it is late this autumn. Although many days have passed in beginning of autumn, the heat is still raging, as if to stick to this mountain city. Summer is still in autumn. And I am in my hometown, the hometown of the Yellow River. At four o'clock, the plane leaves have landed. Fortunately, after several autumn rains, the afterheat of summer was annihilated, and the order of the four seasons in the mountain city was reincarnated.

If the autumn in the north is compared to a strong man, the autumn in the mountain city is a gentle girl. She walked leisurely, expecting God.

In the mountain city in September, the west wind is weak, the vegetation withers late, and the inside and outside of the city are lush, without a trace of air conditioning or sadness. As for "the mountains are all red and the forests are all dyed", it is a sight that can only be seen in early winter.

The sky in the mountain city is neither blue nor white in the north. The word "the sky is high and the clouds are light" doesn't seem appropriate here. There is a lot of autumn rain in the mountain city, with high humidity and humid air. Even on a sunny day, the distant mountains are in the fog, and only the outline can be seen vaguely.

In the mountain city, I can't smell the lingering sound of Qiu Chan, but the chirping of crickets. Autumn in the mountain city is quiet and beautiful.

This autumn, the egret appeared in the mountain city and appeared in my field of vision. Groups of egrets leave early and return late, following the laws of nature. Egret flying posture is extremely elegant, elegant and smart. This is one of the most beautiful birds in the world that I have ever seen.

There is a Tankouxi near the community. The stream is deep, but the water is shallow, and the water gurgles all the year round. Sometimes egrets feed leisurely at the bottom of the stream, or one or two, or three or five. Small fish, shrimp and shellfish in the stream provide egrets with rich natural food.

In the morning, we are used to taking our little grandson for a walk along the stream bank, not only to see the scenery, but also to teach our little baby to recognize things. Every time I walk to the bridge, my little grandson seems to break away from her grandmother's arms, lean forward and look into the stream. We know what this little guy is thinking. He is rare for those egrets! We stopped to watch quietly with the baby. The baby flashed pure eyes and watched the egret's every move curiously. In his young mind, everything he saw was beautiful.

As the sun sets, egrets flock to the east and throw their nests away. They are neatly arranged, just like geese flying south. Lonely heron, struggling to flap its wings, sunset with Qi Fei.

In the Tang Dynasty, Zhang once wrote a poem describing egrets: "Egrets fly in front of the Cisse Mountain, and peach blossoms and flowing water make mandarin fish fat. Green bamboo hat, green hemp fiber, oblique wind and drizzle don't have to go back. " This word has bright colors, ingenious conception and beautiful artistic conception. In just a few words, a beautiful spring scenery of a water town is outlined, and the author's feelings of loving life and advocating nature are entrusted.

When I first saw an egret, I didn't know whether it was an egret or an egret. Because I've never seen it. The lover confidently thinks it is a white crane. Her basis is that he cheng, another name of the mountain city, was inhabited by a large number of cranes in ancient times. I don't agree or object.

When an egret passes through the sky, his wife will point it out to his little grandson: "Look! White crane. " Once, twice, three times, over time, when it comes to white cranes, the little grandson will naturally look up at the sky.

On the bridge that day, a pedestrian told some birds at the bottom of the stream the name of the egret. I think maybe we are wrong, and we can't mislead our little grandson any more. There is still a big difference between looking for a mother with questions and waking up like a dream. For example, egrets shrink their necks when flying, and cranes stretch their necks when flying; Egrets are smaller, while cranes are larger. Egrets can live in trees, while cranes never climb trees.

The knowledge contained in life always favors those who set their minds on it.

After dinner, I am used to lying on the soft sofa and reading one or two short stories by famous writers at will. Just reading Feng Jicai's Swallow and Li San, I think there is a bug beating in the corner of my eye. Put down the phone and look for it. There is a little cricket beside the pillow. Crickets have long tentacles, a pair of golden wings, black armor and a round head. I was afraid of hurting it, so I raised my hand and covered it gently, but the little cricket jumped away. I caught it again and again, and the cricket dodged again and again, but it was finally caught and became a thing in my hand.

I dare not hold it too tightly, and my heart is empty. The wife came with her little grandson, and wanted to show the little baby crickets. I opened my fingers carefully, and cricket seemed to know that I didn't mean to hurt it, and moved on my palm without fear. The little grandson was very excited to see the little cricket, and his eyes shone with novel light. The baby is learning English and keeps saying "mm-hmm".

After teasing the cricket for a while, the wife kissed her little grandson and said, the little cricket's mother is still waiting for it to come home! Shall we take it home? My little grandson seems confused. Under his gaze, I opened the window and released the little cricket into nature.

The moonlight outside the window is like silver, crickets are chirping, the sound of nature is endless, and the autumn night is getting quieter and more peaceful.

Crickets belong not only to rural areas, but also to cities. In the mountain city, osmanthus fragrance adds autumn rhyme, and crickets play and sing.

The media recently broke the news that the monthly income of farmers catching crickets in Yanjin County, Henan Province exceeded 10,000 yuan, and the highest transaction price of a cricket was16,000 yuan. The humble cricket swelled the farmers' pockets, which is far from the days when the Ming people "promoted weaving"!

However, some experts worry that crickets are also an important link in the biological chain. If it is over-captured, it will destroy the biological chain and even cause the decrease of birds, thus affecting other biological species.

Is it fun for farmers to catch crickets? Are you worried?

On weekends, my wife and I go to the north to buy flour and go to the suburbs to relax. At first, our trip was unclear and had no goal. I didn't decide to go until I saw a big advertisement on the roadside promoting God Valley.

All the way to the autumn wind, Gui Xiang bursts; The mountain stretches like a hump. Roads and railways extend in all directions in the mountains. The majestic viaduct stands tall and impressive. From time to time, you can see the roaring trains, which makes people marvel at the ingenuity and wisdom of the builders.

Follow the instructions and signs all the way, and you can see the towering mountain gate in the distance, which looks like a memorial arch. The forehead is engraved with five gold-plated characters: "Shenhe Health Valley".

Shenhe Valley is surrounded by mountains, and only a newly-built Panshan Highway is connected with the outside world. A pool of clear water reflects the mountain shadow; Several dragonflies are fattening up to catch autumn fish.

At the end of winding mountain road, there is a big yard. When you step into the courtyard, the first thing you see is a bamboo belly, with bamboo shadows swaying. People love bamboo, not only because it is modest and restrained, but also because bamboo and yellow flowers are all Buddha-like, and the pool is clear and the moon shines on the Zen mind. In the innermost part, two buildings, the apartment for the elderly and the Shenhe Happy Hall, stand at will, built on the mountain, and the swimming pool beside the building is clear and transparent; Strange flowers and grasses can be seen everywhere in the yard, and the fragrance is pleasant.

At the foot of the mountain is a long row of bonsai, one after another, fifty or sixty meters long. It is divided into straight stem, inclined stem, bent stem, lying stem, dead root, attached stone and other forms, all of which are stump bonsai. Some of these bonsai are antique, some are antique, some are elegant, colorful and varied, which condenses the beautiful scenery of nature. No wonder people regard bonsai as "three-dimensional painting" and "silent poem".

We are very interested in bonsai and appreciate it carefully. They are works of art that can breathe. Surprisingly, those seemingly dying stumps are full of rich life colors and convey tenacious vitality. Endless, it is perfectly reflected in bonsai. After feeling, I lingered here for a long time.

Shenhe Valley has an elegant environment and rich negative oxygen ions, and the developers mainly accept the elderly who come here to live. These old people either talk and laugh in pavilions or stroll among flowers to spend their old age leisurely.

"There are many stories in the town, full of joy and joy. If you come to town, you will gain a lot. Looks like a painting, sounds like a song, and the realm of life includes here ... "Teresa Teng sang in the mountain city, with a sweet voice and jade.
