Li Xiansen 丨 Dream back to Fenghuangling (prose)

Dream back to Phoenix Ridge

Text/Li Sensen

The front of the village is a Great Tusher.

Tuling rose abruptly in Pingdi, like a Phoenix inhabited, and the old family called it "Phoenix Ridge."

It is not clear where the west side of the Phoenix Ridge is stretched. At the end of the east side, there is a mouthpiece. There are more than 20 meters wide and more than 100 meters deep. It is a naturally formed shooting range. My family is facing this mouth.

In the 1970s, the militia company in the village often targeted here. Lying in front of the dumplings, hold the semi -automatic rifle, aim at the target heart in front, three o'clock, lightly triggers, a crisp sound, the gun body shakes, and the strong smell of gunpowder is rotated in the gulcation.

Every time I hear the gunfire, my partners and I were waiting patiently to pick up the shell. Dig a warhead in the mountains, and I could dig out twenty or thirty. We often hold the dug bullets and the shell picked to change money. When they are familiar with those uncle, they sometimes send me some bullet shells or let me touch the guns in their hands. It was since then that I had a fate with the gun. This is something.

In my memory, Phoenix Ridge is a male hillside. Along the sheep intestine trail on the side of the gully, climb to the top of the slope, and the red leaves are green, which can always make my child's blood stunned and excited.

Needless to say, all kinds of birds fly on the high and low -known branches, flying around, and no need to say that the wild walnuts, wild grapes, wild plums, wild peaches are covered with thick and thin branches. When pure natural wild fruits, don't say that butterflies, knowing, beef, and 蝈蝈 can be seen everywhere. The war with soil bees, scorpions, crickets and long worms (snakes) makes us excited and excited.

After the rain of the Tanabata every year, there are insects similar to Tiandiu on the hillside. We call it "water and cattle". Two grasps are grabbed. At one end, let him fly in the air. Similar to kite, we are happy about this.

There is also an apple garden that makes us covet and think of us. Before the mature season, our taste buds have not yet been matured.

The orchard was contracted by Liu Yuebo's family. He was the secretary of the brigade branch. In those years, it was not easy to make money in the countryside. He grew up early, branched, and fertilized. Every tree was used as a treasure. It was expected that there was a good harvest. We were often scared and scared by a sip before we slipped, for fear of running slowly and being caught.

Nevertheless, we are still willing to involve "danger" again and again. All of this was not to mouth at the time, mainly because of hungry, and wanted to fill the stomach.

In this memory, Yun'an, Jiang Dou, Dongqi, Lao Guang, etc., several of our bare buttocks are regular customers on the Phoenix Ridge. Cut the grass uphill and put the sheep, pick up the ground vegetables after the rain, dig it to know, pick elm pods, locust flowers, grilled wheat ears, roasted corn, boiled edamame, stealing apples. Every action, we are active participants. There is also Yunan, which is also a good helper.

Later, I left as a soldier and went for nearly thirty years. Although the current Phoenix Ridge, although it still maintains the charm of the year, a black hair, a tight skin, and a godlike bone, but without the crispy shoulders of the jasper in the past, the texture is far less than the past.

"This situation has become a memory, and it is empty here." Especially in the past few years, Fenghuangling's "One Village, a little bit, a scene with a scene in the countryside" in the county, a fruit tree full of memory was rooted, and the reed garden, apricot garden, and locust tree garden were not seen. After, the birds also flew away. After a rawr was flattened, a "racecourse" was built ... Listening to the villagers said that since the racettec is built and welcomed the leaders of several batch of suit and leather shoes to check it, I didn’t know it again. I have seen tourists to play.

"To put it bluntly, it is to catch the duck on the shelves, and the people will hurt the people!" Listening to the villagers' complaints, I can't judge who is right and who is wrong, or anyone is right. Because the original intention of many things is good, but the reality is so cold. If you do n’t follow natural and objective laws, you will inevitably make your head break.

Is it vicissitudes or desolate? I tried to search for footprints in memory.

However, the vicissitudes of vicissitudes of the field, the stars moved, and the wild flower wild fruit in the memory of the mountains has long been annihilated on the sun at sunset, and it also closed in the years of the sun and the moon. Everything disappears without a trace. Maybe the past has already precipitated. Maybe only when the night is quiet, the childhood in the jungle and the laughter in the ravine will accumulate in the dream like a cloud ...
