Deep Love in Libo Author: An Duomin I will remember your back.

I arrived in Mengdong in the early autumn of Gengzi. I spent three months traveling around Guizhou to visit the scenic spots. During this period, I visited almost all the mountains and rivers of Guizhou. I truly appreciated the beautiful scenery of "Colorful Guizhou" and also deeply appreciated the "passionate Guizhou".

"Guizhou's folk customs are simple and honest, and "Guizhou's good people" have deep friendships.

Guizhou is a major tourist province in the country. It has many scenic spots and historic sites, many strange mountains and rivers, and many ethnic minorities. It has many tourism "highlights" and has formed its own tourism characteristics. It has a "tourism business card" that is well-known throughout the country and even the world: Fanjing Mountain.

, Huangguoshu Waterfall, Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village, Zhenyuan Ancient Town, Zhijin Cave, Libo Big and Small Seven Holes, etc., there are too many to count.

People who travel to Guizhou will visit every place they visit.

I visited all parts of Guizhou and Guizhou this time, but I originally didn’t plan to go to the Libo Seven Kongs scenic spot. The reason is that there are only two bridges in the Big and Small Seven Kongs.

But when I unfolded the map of Guizhou Province and looked carefully, I discovered that Libo also has a world-class geological and cultural heritage: karst landforms.

It’s worth a visit for this, not to mention there’s an ancient town.

Okay, let's go, get ready and set off.

It was a bumpy journey, and it was already dusk when we arrived in Libo. In winter, the days are short and the nights are early, so we first found a hotel to stay.

Early the next morning, we first visited the ancient town.

However, there are many shops on both sides of the street, including a "Lao Guo" snack street. Crossing a square in front of the street, there is a huge sculptured bronze drum symbolizing the Dong Miao minority standing there. There are chandeliers and colorful flags on it. It should be an open-air dance hall.

People in the town said that before the epidemic, there were performances here every now and then.

After passing through the open-air dance hall, there are still various shops on both sides, so let's hang out.

So you go here and there, and the shops generally sell not only food and drink, but also travel products.

In a blink of an eye, most of the morning passed.

While wandering around, I accidentally saw an inn with the title "Hidden Corner·Original Heart". The decoration was elegant and unpretentious. Outside the inn, there were two rows of black and shiny porcelain altars, neatly arranged in the sunshine.

Go in and take a look.

Before entering the door, I saw a large red lotus painted on the wall of the living room. It was huge and beautiful, implying a Zen feeling, and occupied the entire wall.

There is an ink "turquoise picture" hanging on the other wall, which is also extraordinary.

I thought to myself that the owner must be different from ordinary people and have certain cultural accomplishments.

Then he stepped in.

There is no one in the lobby, but there is surveillance.

While admiring the paintings on the wall and the furnishings in the room, I heard a "welcome" and a petite woman of young age who looked like the boss's wife walked out of the room.

She stepped forward with a smile and said hello: "Come, have a cup of tea." She was wearing a checkered apron around her waist, and she was probably busy in the kitchen just now.

I quickly declined and said, "Excuse me, I see you have a nice painting on the wall. Let's admire it for a while and then go." "No rush, no rush. Let's have a cup of tea first. Don't rush it yet!" She said while filling water, lighting a fire,

Make tea.

The host was so sincere that he could no longer refuse, so he sat down.

You should wash your hands before serving a cup. The epidemic has made us develop a good habit.

So, I found the faucet and washed my hands, walked out of the store, dried my hands on the open space, and then returned to the lobby to sit down.

"You are so polite and polite." The landlady complimented me - it meant that you didn't throw the water around after washing your hands.

"Your store is very particular, with good calligraphy and painting, good decoration, and the store is very clean and tidy. I am sure it will be crowded with customers and feel at home." "Thank you for your kind words. You are very discerning. That lotus flower is

A friend of ours from the painter village painted the ink painting "Turkey and Stone". He has been painting all his life and is a famous painter in our hometown in Sichuan. "The young proprietress said that he was from Luzhou, Sichuan.

I came to Guizhou with my lover to start a business, worked hard all the way, and finally settled in Libo.

It has been several years since I came here and I have become a Guizhou native.

She told me with a confident smile.

When I came to Guizhou, I used to call lesbians "sister" when I met them as the local customs do. I thought this was polite and very friendly.

"Sister, I'm sorry to bother you. I saw these two paintings in your shop that were so good that I was attracted to them. I want to learn."

"You're too polite. Judging from your age, you should be the elder. I should call you uncle. Just call me Yanzi." "Okay, then I'll call you sister Yanzi." Then we chatted while drinking tea.

She asked me: "Uncle, seeing as you like painting, you should also be able to paint, right?" "Oh, you guessed it, I like painting too.
