"Not only is it evocative, it also bodes well for a better future"

Seeing the spring again, it was incredibly warm, like summer, like a lazy sleeping dog, quietly feeling the passage of time.
Walking on the country road, looking up, full of green, a gust of wind, mixed with the smell of earth, like a child leading a cow from here, the feet still have a faint smell of grass seeds. The muddy path was gone, but the familiar shadow never swept away in the mind, like the grass on the side of the road, tilting its head, looking obliquely, nodding frequently in the light wind, and for decades it was still waiting here foolishly.
The green mountains on the opposite side, dark green, the top of the mountain seems to be hugged with the clouds of the sky; several families are embedded in the mountains, the white walls, under the sunlight, as dazzling as diamonds; the sheep's intestine trail, winding like the traces of snail walking, connects the mountains and the mountains, running through the home and home; the stream that has been climbed countless times, through the rain for a few days, is hanging a silk ribbon, like the beautiful bun of a little girl, the mountain is particularly charming.

The spring light is infinitely good, the spring breeze can't stay, I want to burn everything here in my heart, I don't care about a mountain color, I don't care about a party of water and soil, I care about the time when I often stir up the starting point of thoughts, and I remember the days when I used to live here when I was a child - those days without shoes. Three or five small partners, meeting to play, there is no elaborate arrangement, nor a time agreement, some are a tacit understanding. Taking advantage of the busy time of the adults, we went to the back mountain to collect fruit, which was our best snack place and the secret place of our gathering, there would not be only one place, nor would there be only one kind of fruit.
The first thing to go up the mountain is to pick the fruit to eat, sometimes scattered, sometimes concentrated, first of all, you have to fill the stomach and then say, especially when you encounter taller fruit trees, we will divide labor and cooperate, at that time everyone's strengths are played to the fullest, the people who pick it will not easily eat first, and when they are finished, they will gather together to share, they will not compete for who is more and who is less, but they will definitely let the fruit be picked first.
And those mountain fruits, there are wild pomegranates, wild arbutus, wild walnuts, hehe all wild, everyone's favorite is still wild walnuts, not because of how beautiful it is, nor because of how delicious it is, just because this fruit, can be used to fry to eat, entertaining guests is the best mountain fried goods, so take the most home will not blame, will only attract a lot of envious eyes. All year round, we have something to eat all the time, summer and autumn are the easiest to find, in the winter we roast the fire, while eating fragrant roasted sweet potatoes, even in the spring without fruit, we can also eat a lot of flowers. Of course, going up the mountain is not only to get some fruit to eat, but more we will learn the plot of the war movie, to play different roles, enjoy unusual touch and stimulation, until the adults shout and urge, and then reluctantly go home.
Maybe we've lived in the mountains for a long time, maybe we've grown up, and we don't go to the mountains to pick fruit, and we don't get together in groups of three or five, and we know what this mountain can give us. Who knows whether there are any gods and immortals in this mountain, accustomed to all kinds of magical legends of the old people, silently listening to the nagging of the adults, so reluctantly put on their shoes and slowly began to contact the outside world.
We know that it is a mountain-like mystery that gives us an infinite strength, a courage to go out and feel the outside world. Especially such a spring, that touch of greenery, that breeze, covering the earth, paving the way with hope, not only evocative, but also foreshadowing a better future.
