In the south corner of the dam, there is a dense area of large lotus leaves. Although it has only been a year, the lotus roots planted have spread throughout the corner. The last time I came here was the season when the lotus flowers were in bloom, and it was so beautiful. Now it is the Mid-Autumn Festival.
There are only a few lotus flowers, but the lotus leaves show no sign of withering. They are slim, dense, and green.
When the two of them walked to the corner, they were surprised to find that a wooden plank road had been built here at some time leading to the depths of the lotus leaves. Upon closer inspection, it didn't look like a newly built plank road, but looked like it had been soaked in water.
Some aquatic plants, dry moss and other things are attached. Zhang Yanling understood, this
The plank road should have been repaired a long time ago, presumably to observe the water conditions and check the dam. However, the water level in the reservoir was high this year and it was submerged in the water. The weather has been hot and dry in the past month, and the crops have been irrigated again, so the water in the reservoir has dropped
After going down quite a bit, this plank road was exposed.
Now that's good, we walked along the plank road to the end, where we were sheltered by lotus leaves, which was perfect for bathing.
"Go ahead, I'll look out for you here." Zhang Yanling said with a smile.
Xu Youtang blushed and said sarcastically: "Brother is not allowed to peek..."
Zhang Yanling laughed and said: "Don't worry, how could I do such a thing? I will arrange a place for you to change clothes on the embankment. In case you come up wet and like a drowned rat."
Xu Youtang blushed and walked to the end of the plank road. He stood among the lotus leaves and looked around for a while. He really couldn't see anyone. Then he quickly took off his thin shirt and long skirt and slipped in along the wooden ladder on the side of the plank road.
In the water. The surface of the water in the reservoir is warm, but it is extremely cool below. When the body enters the water, it feels very comfortable immediately. The heat disappears. Xu Youtang sighs comfortably and closes his eyes to enjoy the rare coolness.
Zhang Yanling found three willow trees on the embankment, and wrapped the flower cloth he brought to spread on the ground around the trunk to form a barrier. He also folded some slender willow branches and spread them on the ground, and picked a few huge lotus leaves to spread on the ground.
Stay on the wicker to avoid getting your feet stuck. When Xu Youtang lands ashore, you can go directly into the curtain and change into clean clothes.
After doing this, Zhang Yanling sat under the shade of a tree and waited. He could only hear the sound of water splashing in the lotus leaves, and some pictures appeared in his mind involuntarily. He wanted to take a sneak peek, but felt that this idea was too shameless.
, so I forced myself to wait patiently.
Suddenly, Xu Youtang was heard screaming in horror, and a violent splash of water was heard. Zhang Yanling was startled and stood up to listen carefully.
Xu Youtang's scream came clearly: "Snake! Snake! Brother, save me!"
Zhang Yanling heard this clearly, and quickly stepped onto the wooden trestle and rushed over in three steps and two steps. He saw Xu Youtang flapping in the water in panic and screaming loudly.
"Don't panic, don't panic, I'm coming." Zhang Yanling shouted loudly, jumped into the water, and held Xu Youtang in his arms.
Xu Youtang hugged Zhang Yanling's neck tightly and exclaimed: "There is a snake, come ashore quickly."
Zhang Yanling said: "Where? Where?"
Xu Youtang pointed in a direction with her eyes closed, her head buried in Zhang Yanling's neck and she didn't dare to raise her head. Zhang Yanling looked in the direction of her finger, but saw nothing. There were only tall lotus leaves blocking the sky and sun.
Thick leaf stems stand on the water. Looking through the rippling water, it looks like a dense forest. But there are no snakes at all.
"There are no snakes, so don't be afraid." Zhang Yanling comforted her.
"It's true." Xu Youtang turned around, then immediately turned around again, hugging Zhang Yanling tightly and said, "Isn't that right? It's still there. You lied to me."
Zhang Yanling saw clearly this time. On the water not far away, a black object was exposed on the water. Xu Youtang was pointing at that object. Zhang Yanling laughed loudly, took two steps and stretched out his hand to pull it.
A dark branch came out.
"This is just a dead branch, why did you think it was a snake?"
"Ah? A dead branch? I saw it has a nose and eyes." Xu Youtang turned around in disbelief and saw the branch.
"There is indeed some resemblance, but it's just a tree knot scar. Hahaha, I was shocked." Zhang Yanling laughed.
Xu Youtang breathed a long sigh of relief and crawled on Zhang Yanling's shoulder. She felt weak and panting slightly. She was really scared just now.
After the panic, the surroundings suddenly calmed down. Lotus leaves were swaying in the breeze, cicadas on the willow trees on the bank were noisy, and the atmosphere suddenly became subtle.
Xu Youtang realized at this moment that she and Zhang Yanling were hugging each other with their bodies wet. They were in an embarrassing situation. After their clothes were soaked, they were no different from not wearing any clothes. Although Zhang Yanling was neatly dressed, she was also soaked at the moment. Her thin gown
When it is attached to the body, it is no different from not wearing it. Naturally, I feel something strange at this moment.
Xu Youtang was at a loss and didn't know what to do. This situation was too intimate. This made her very scared, but she seemed to be looking forward to it.
Zhang Yanling was even more angry. As someone who has experienced this, it is easier to arouse desires, especially in the current situation. It is inevitable for people to have longings, and their bodies will also react.
Xu Youtang's face was blood red, and he lowered his head in confusion, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
"Brother... you... why don't you go back to the shore first... we are so... embarrassed." Xu Youtang said like a mosquito.
"Okay...I'll go up right away." Zhang Yanling also felt that she couldn't stay any longer, otherwise she would not be able to control herself.
He let go of Xu Youtang, turned around and climbed up the wooden plank road. The clothes on his body were dripping with water, and he looked as embarrassed as a water ghost. Whether it was because of nervousness or because the wooden ladder was too slippery, Zhang Yanling climbed halfway and fell down with a bang.
Come down. Even your hair is completely wet now, and the bun is full of water beads.
Xu Youtang hurriedly reached out and hugged Zhang Yanling from behind, saying softly: "Brother... are you okay?"
Zhang Yanling breathed heavily, and when she turned her head, her eyes were slightly red, as if a wild beast was about to eat a person.
"Brother!" Xu Youtang felt the danger and was about to run away, but it was already too late.
"Come here!" Zhang Yanling reached out and pulled Xu Youtang into his arms. Xu Youtang only had time to scream before his mouth was blocked, and then he hugged him tightly as if he was drowning.
"Brother! Take me." Xu Youtang shouted softly in a daze.
Zhang Yanling picked up Xu Youtang, climbed up the trestle, rushed ashore, got into the place covered by the curtain, and placed Xu Youtang on the ground covered with wicker and lotus leaves.
Xu Youtang lay stiffly on the ground, squinting at the dappled sunlight coming through the gaps in the willow trees, listening to the rustling of lotus leaves in the breeze, and the chirping of birds and cicadas coming from the treetops. In addition,
Other than that, my mind went blank.
The breeze shook the treetops, the chirping of cicadas and birds seemed to have stopped suddenly, and nothing seemed to exist between heaven and earth. Everything was like a dream, which Xu Youtang had done many times when she grew up to be a girl.
A bizarre dream. Everything in the dream was clear and fuzzy, beautiful and scary. Every time she woke up, Xu Youtang didn't know the meaning of this dream. But now, she felt like she had entered this strange dream again.
I don't know how long it took, but Xu Youtang's senses began to recover. The sun, the breeze, the chirping of birds, the chirping of cicadas, and the fragrance of lotus leaves were all so beautiful. There was also Zhang Yanling who was sitting next to him with his hair disheveled and looking at him with guilt on his face.
.
"Brother!" Xu Youtang reached out and touched Zhang Yanling's face, and slowly nestled into his embrace.
