Genting Walled When I walked near the Peak, looked up and saw the cover in the lush branches are growing after the "Genting" word, I have come to Genting Village.
This is a pocket-sized town, smaller than I imagined. Its because it is not just built on top of the hill, so that I have a come to the ancient "cottage" flavor, while "Zhanshanweiwang" This phrase also can not help floating to coming back inside. I envision a day in the tallest and most spacious sitting room of the Church of the chairs pad skins look unfamiliar on the awe-inspiring, bearded, How many pieces of money Ma clearly visible tyrant; imagination on both sides of the king wearing a fur hat ( Despite the almost summer), collapse Cestus left and right hanging He Zaipao tall burly bodyguard of King Kong; imagine hobble around in Phnom Penh side of the book after the case of glasses, held hostage Guapi Mao, hand twisting the lock of a few sparse beard goat's military counselor; imagine in the post - room couch on the rouge painted face while smoking a water pipe, while calculations of how to please the king a large concubine, Er Yitai, the concubine; imagine the narrow stone streets of the courtyard side of a room suddenly stagger forward to come out a three-inch golden lotus, but the fresh, oily pan like the morning crowing moment of the fritters just like a woman, I have scaled the steps to enter the cottage, across the cottage's door.
Genting Village streets are all paved by a stone articles, as long-years, is no longer flat. The stockade the streets of less than 3,4 meters long, wide and less than 2,3 m, half the street into the cottage as a T-shaped blocks at the former behavior of an extension into the Village streets, not far from the street, turn left there A temple, entitled "Genting Temple", although little, but still incense curl Xu.
Street on both sides of the house most of the civil engineering structures, dark windows and doors, roof or a year I do not know the original so long wind sun and rain caused by smoke, in short, revealing Yigu old taste. The main entrance of the house and opened all side street, and some for the two door or four door, but most of it is arranged by one piece of wood is made to take down usher rushed to sunrise and sunset, when arranged on the degree of over night, while the doors and windows may mean that different home ownership have had the wealth or poverty, well-off or poor.
Genting Walled people are comfortable and relaxed, at least in my experience that afternoon. Perhaps because of the travel and few reasons, not all of the shop and the doors are wide open, while in the even open the door inside, but also mostly in the hands of a leisurely doing things leisurely, non - Wen did not fire, sometimes through the goodwill of outsiders responded with smile. Master barber leaned over a chair, facing the wall mirror the name of sleepy; year old man nearly seventy years of age sitting on a bench packed with their own tools; 35 middle-aged woman spoke in a window-dressing in authentic Sichuan so, and occasionally send Jichuan laughter; while lying in the street dog sleeping under the sun, in the eyes of someone passing will not open eyes do not even look at the mercy footsteps coming and going in his side.
Cottage, there are 34 restaurants, two large adjacent to open, have greatly pushed to the front Zhuoyibandeng of the backyard, where a reception was actually the designated tourist hotels, the proprietress is enthusiasm to help young people who appeared for several students cut sugarcane. But what really impressed me is in the "Genting Temple," the opposite of that home Douhua restaurants, the two seemed already over fifty of the old married couple sitting under the eaves, next to a good boil, and 34 of the white Douhua Zhang simple little square table. Old kind to the visitors looked in the past, waiting for Kuaguomenkan creatures. Because I prematurely eating lunch in front of the restaurant did not Douhua look at the elderly Douhua goods which have been Cecil regret, I do not know when I visit the cottage again, whether there are opportunities and delicious food sitting on a simple Douhua restaurants, the side of the taste the Douhua while sharing with the elderly remembers.
Before we knew it, I have been walking the streets of Genting Walled two back and forth, I understand that with, but it is also ignorant with. Genting Village gave me the tranquility of the calm the mind, not seen for many years such as water, indifferent water, but I have to go back but I have the Fan Chen Health and tiredness. My feet slowly through a block of quartzite, when I came toward the road.
I crossed the cottage the last ladder, overhead shade has faded, cicada voice suddenly sounded in my ear, such as water layers of the heart ripple rises layers Dangkai. Guzhai's shadow slowly blurred, only tread on the footsteps of the quartzite is also still clearly echoed in the bottom of my heart.
It was a rough road, but solid quartzite.
Note: Genting Village Longchang County in Sichuan Province, about 20 kilometers from the county seat, formed in the years of the Qing Emperor Xianfeng.
