The little river in front of the old house door

■ You Hong

With the sweeping wave of urbanization, the old houses in the countryside of Xindu have been annihilated by dozens of layers of skyscrapers. I stand in this familiar strange place and I have completely discerned the location of the old house in memory. However, the small river in front of the old house often appeared in my mind and flowing in my life.

At the forest plate of Xiaohe, a ingot of a ingot of about 20 meters, about 10 meters wide, and about 1.5 meters deep, and about 1.5 meters long. Returning to the water is smooth. Except for heavy rain and irrigation season, most of the year is clear and bottomed. You can clearly see the small fish in the river in the river. On the calm water, there is also a long -footed little worm called "water crawler" jumping around. When I was a kid, I was curious: There are animals that walk freely without sinking on the water in the world? For this reason, I often stare at the "water crawler" and think about it for a long time.

Because of the obstruction of the trees and Cizhu of my courtyard, there is a piece of crops of about one acre of fields because of the sunlight and dysplasia. Due to the convenience of the narrow area of ​​the river, the group of chickens, ducks and geese in our yard often committed "liberal errors", and unconsciously flowed to the other side of the field "pecking the sea" to eat, which made people worked hard. The crops were pecked into a light rod and the particles were not harvested. Later, the farmers simply pushed this "chicken rib" place that had been cultivated but harvested the hopeless "chicken ribs", and let it be overgrown. For a long time, a small jungle has formed this place, attracting a lot of birds to find food, play in the forest, and build a nest. I remember that I had pulled bird eggs in the grassy clumps, and even saw the harem, and there were more fields.

In the seasons of crop irrigation, the turbid river water is full of riverbeds, and the messy thatch and rotten vegetable leaves are flowing down on the river surface. It is often stiffened by the blockage of weeds in the narrow river channel and flowing around. At this time, there was an experienced "old handle" whispering: "Guanxian (the old name of Dujiangyan) is enlarged" or "who knows how far he is talking about the upstream). The people around me joked: "People always know how to know the astronomy, know the geography, and understand everything!" With a laughed, the labor atmosphere seemed relaxed.

Due to the soaking of the river, the spiders on both sides of the river bed, the "earth dog" (ants), and the small insects such as Gudu (蟋蟀) were suffered from the disaster, and they fled to the west on the water. Tour. In the middle of this foraging duck and geese, he put all his stomachs who had escaped from the worms. At this time, the seasonal poultry eats fresh and lives, and the amount of activity is large.

Nowadays, the scene is moved, and things are wrong. The little river in front of the old house that once brought me endless fun and memory could never be forgotten.
