Prose ｜ He Yidong: Osmanthus Fragrance

Text/He Yidong

In the morning, the autumn wind brushed lightly, a bit thin. Going to the water compartment next to the community garden, the purified mineral water suddenly sniffed a burst of fragrance and felt particularly good.

Looking up, there is a long -haired beauty in front, is it the perfume sprayed on her? I sniff again, not like. In the next, it is an uncle, and it is even more impossible to spray perfume. Looking up and down, I found that there was a small osmanthus tree at two or three meters on the right, and the stars blossomed. The aroma came from there.

Every year in the Mid -Autumn Festival, osmanthus is "standard". "Green clouds cut the leaves, and protect the gold dandruff. Occupy the reputation of the broken flowers, the fragrance and rhyme, and the two clean. The victory, the Jun heard. It is him. The moon is full of shade, and people have sorrows and joy. How can osmanthus know about the world, but with the pace of the seasons, the beauty blooms and shows the fragrance.

In the Mid -Autumn Festival last year, there were several leafy sweet -scented osmanthus trees on the road near the Jinjiang River, which was covered with clusters of yellow -linked osmanthus flowers. The aroma was overflowing and refreshing. Every time I passed through the tree, I couldn't help staying, looked up, closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and sucked this pleasant fragrance into the internal organs.

Once off work in the evening, after passing the osmanthus tree, she saw a beautiful girl holding a small fist big paper bag and squatted under the tree to pick up the osmanthus on the ground. This scene is very poetic, I took out my phone and prepared to take pictures. While picking up, she sniffed very much, and she didn't notice that someone wanted to "capture".

But I really don't want to "destroy" a warm scene, and I also feel a little bit liberty. I accepted my phone and planned to leave. The girl looked up and saw me. I wonder if my expression was different, and the girl smiled. I was encouraged by her laugh and asked, "Little sister, this osmanthus is so fragrant, what do you pick up?"

The girl said straight and said, "That's it, it's too fragrant, I like to smell the taste the most. Pick it up and put it on the bedside table, and sleep at night." I said, "There are still a lot of trees, I will help you shake it?" The girl was busy stopping: "No, no, the trees can not shake, everyone can smell, I just picked it down on the ground."

I was a little embarrassed. Yeah, every time the osmanthus is open, there are always some people spread plastic cloth under the tree, shake or slammed the osmanthus with a bamboo pole, and then take it home to use it. This kind of behavior has damaged public morality and is condemned. How can I forget today?

The girl stood up, her face was rosy by joy. She looked at the small paper bag, shaking, and smiled: "Enough, can you be fragrant for a few days. Do you like osmanthus?" I said, "Like it, not only the aroma smells good, but also osmanthus wine is delicious. . "The girl laughed:" At a glance you are the elegant people. I smell it for you. "Then, she stretched the small paper bag to me, and a strong fragrance striked, which was intoxicating. The girl waved in me and said "goodbye" in the direction that is opposite to me. Although the figure goes far away, the fragrance of the osmanthus has been lingering for a long time.

It was another year in a blink of an osmanthus. I wonder where the girl who picked up osmanthus last year is now? Will it be like me, have you forgotten the osmanthus for the time being?
