As far as the eye can see, only a layer of fat lotus leaves, such as a thick green carpet spread on the water. In the middle of the leaves, like a heavenly maiden scattering flowers, dotted with many pink lotus flowers. Flowers standing like a shy blush on the face of the young girl, dancing gently on the green carpet. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, the green leaves rolled, as if a green wave sliding across the water, leaving deep traces of waves, clattering sound endless, like the lotus leaves in the dance for the flowers applauded and cheered. I have never seen the lotus, I was mesmerized by the attractive scenery in front of me, stood in place for a long time, did not move half a step.
And now, this pool of lotus is obviously inferior to the park a lot. The area alone is much worse, the park lotus on Daming Lake, densely covered several kilometers wide lake. And this pool lotus also covers a few acres of it! Lotus leaves are also sparse, not the kind of crowded and lively scene. However, the lotus leaves have grown surprisingly large, as if absorbing the vastness of the Great Northwest, thus becoming fat and strong. Lotus leaves in the pool is also expanding at will, no constraints, but also leisurely.
That is, with this pool of lotus, also let me feast my eyes. This season, the lotus is not open, only the pool of turquoise 'lotus leaves, fluffy display of their own style, a straight lotus rods high up one of the buds, like a raised arm, holding up a beautiful dream. The leaves are fat and wide, layered and disorganized all over the water. Occasionally waterfowl swimming under the leaves, from time to time chirping two, as if calling companions. To this quiet pond added a few points of vivid vigor.
The sun is hot, summer lotus green. I stood in the pond, the eyes from the lotus leaves up and down swept over, trying to find the lotus waiting for me for a long time. The lotus leaves densely blocked my line of sight, I circled around the pond a few times, still did not find it that pink shadow. Only the green lotus leaves under the gurgling water, and fish blowing water bubbles, the clamor of the lotus leaves, to the quiet lotus pond brought a burst of agitation, and then returned to the original calm.
It seems that I have no chance to see the beautiful shadow of the lotus this time. Pool master smilingly said to me: "Now is not the time of the lotus, to wait until the middle of August mass opening, that is if you come back, the lotus pond, can be another scenery." Said he himself immersed in the distant memories. Looking at his face that sweet smile, I just lost some mood gradually improved. "The lotus flowers here are different from those in other places, don't you see?" The pool master asked me. "That is! The lotus leaves are especially big and thick." I said. "The lotus blooms are also big, this big." The pool master gestured with the palm of his hand. The lotus flower was pink with red, really like a baby's red face, delicate. That petal is white in red and pink, it's really endearing!"
The owner of the pond spoke at length, as if describing his beloved treasure. "In fact, this lotus pond was planted for my wife, who passed away many years ago. When she was alive, she especially liked lotus flowers, so she brought lotus seeds from her hometown and spread them in this pond with her own hands, and in the first year, only a few leaves grew, and there was no more movement. She was very disappointed, but not discouraged, and sowed some lotus seeds. The second year grew two dozen leaves, and no movement, looking at the lonely leaves floating on the large pool of water, she was completely disappointed. The third year no one expected, not a month's work, the lotus leaves spread over the pond, when the lotus flowers bloomed all over the pond, but she did not get to look at it." Saying this, the pool master shifted his eyes away, and I saw that his eyes had filled with tears.
After a long pause, the pool master turned his face and then said: "This pond lotus is particularly spiritual, every year the most beautiful and most colorful face, show me. Whenever, I face these delicate like water, pink and colorful lotus, I seem to see my wife's blushing face, also like the lotus as delicate, in the lotus bush smilingly looking at me. I will gently tell her the pain of longing, the green lotus leaves accumulated my tears. The breeze blew by, the colorful lotus flower gently nodded, dewdrops in the stamen, have fallen, like my wife's sad tears. My sad heart in the long pouring comfort, this pool full of pink lotus brilliant smile, but also like bright sunshine illuminate my life."
I didn't realize that there was such a poignant and touching story behind this pool of lotus flowers. I suddenly realized, this lotus why grow so magnificent, originally, it is the pool master with his wife's loyal and unshakeable love watering out ah! A gust of wind blew, the green leaves in the pond turned up, a pink shadow in front of my eyes flashed, then disappeared without a trace, I through the lotus leaves, finally found that an early blooming lotus, in the fat under the lotus leaves alone bloom their heart. Is it the lotus flower that has been waiting for me for a long time? I do not know. However, this summer lotus green lotus pond has fulfilled my wish for many years, I think the old Mr. Zhu Ziqing, if alive, see such lotus, will also raise their hands to praise. I don't know why, I suddenly respect the lotus.
