After Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen successfully escaped the troubles brought on by Jiang Yao, their vacation life seemed to be injected with new vitality. In the morning, the first rays of sunlight gently shone on their small house, a wooden building full of local characteristics. The walls were decorated with exquisite carvings, as if telling the ancient stories of this land.
Jiang Zhi woke up early. She tiptoed to the window, opened it, and was greeted by a burst of fresh air. The mountains in the distance loomed in the morning mist, like an ink painting. She took a deep breath of the air, which was filled with the fragrance of soil and flowers, and felt that she was completely surrounded by the beauty of nature. Shen Qingchen was still sleeping soundly, his face looking particularly peaceful in the sunlight. Jiang Zhi couldn't help but walk over and place a gentle kiss on his forehead.
After a quick breakfast, they decided to attend a local folklore event. Today's event was held in the village's central square, and they walked along a winding path. Wildflowers bloomed on both sides of the path, their colorful blossoms swaying gently in the breeze, as if welcoming them. From time to time, butterflies fluttered among the flowers, and Jiang Zhi excitedly wanted to chase them. Shen Qingchen watched her dotingly from the side, a faint smile on his lips.
When they arrived at the square, a large crowd had already gathered. Villagers dressed in vibrant traditional costumes, their voices echoing with joyful laughter. The first event was a traditional dance performance, with dancers moving to the cheerful beat of drums. Their movements were graceful and powerful, each one imbued with a love of life and respect for their ancestors. Jiang Zhi was mesmerized. She grabbed Shen Qingchen's hand and squeezed to the front of the crowd, hoping to get a closer look. Shen Qingchen stood behind her, tightly protecting her from the crowd.
After the dance performance, it was time for a demonstration of handicrafts. An old craftsman sat in a corner, crafting an exquisite piece of handicraft. Jiang Zhi curiously approached, watching as the materials in the old craftsman's hands gradually transformed into a lifelike animal under his nimble fingers. Jiang Zhi couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. She asked the old craftsman for advice on the crafting techniques, and he was very kind and patiently explained them to her. Shen Qingchen stood by, watching Jiang Zhi's curiosity and enthusiasm, her heart filled with love.
At noon, the square was filled with tempting aromas. It turned out that the villagers had begun preparing special delicacies. The long table was filled with a variety of food, including colorful cakes, fragrant barbecue, and a variety of fresh fruits. Jiang Zhi's eyes suddenly lit up, and she pulled Shen Qingchen and ran towards the food. They tasted each delicacy, and every bite was full of surprises. The cakes melted in the mouth, sweet but not greasy; the barbecue was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with just the right amount of spices; the fruit was fresh and juicy, as if it had the taste of sunshine.
In the afternoon, the sun became a little scorching. They decided to find a cool place to rest. Walking along a stream, the water was so clear that you could see the stones and small fish swimming at the bottom of the water. Jiang Zhi couldn't help but take off her shoes and walked into the stream. The stream water was cool, caressing her feet, making her feel extremely comfortable. Shen Qingchen also followed her into the stream. He gently scooped up a handful of water and sprinkled it on Jiang Zhi. Jiang Zhi smiled and dodged, and the two of them played in the stream.
After playing tired, they found a big tree to rest. The tree's lush branches and leaves were like a huge green umbrella, blocking the sunlight for them. Jiang Zhi leaned in Shen Qingchen's arms, closed her eyes, and listened to the chirping of insects and the sound of flowing streams around her. She felt as if she was in a fairyland isolated from the world. Shen Qingchen gently stroked her hair. Neither of them spoke, enjoying this moment of tranquility.
In the evening, the setting sun dyed the sky orange and red. They came to a meadow, which was a perfect place to photograph the sunset. Shen Qingchen took out his camera and adjusted the parameters of the camera, wanting to capture this beautiful moment. Jiang Zhi posed in various positions on the grass, her smile particularly bright in the sunset. Shen Qingchen kept pressing the shutter, and each photo recorded Jiang Zhi's most beautiful look. They also took many photos together, in which they hugged each other tightly, with the picturesque sunset behind them.
As night fell, a bonfire was lit in the village. The villagers gathered around it, singing and dancing. Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen joined them. Hand in hand, they danced to the rhythm of the music. Their faces, illuminated by the firelight, beamed with joy. The surrounding villagers enthusiastically welcomed the two distant guests with song and dance, and in that moment, they truly became part of the local life.
After returning to the cabin, although they were a little tired, their hearts were filled with joy. They lay on the bed, recalling every detail of the day. Jiang Zhi smiled and said, "Today is really wonderful. I hope such days can continue forever." Shen Qingchen hugged her in his arms and whispered, "As long as we are together, every day will be full of beauty."
