  The first two days have been hot and muggy, so I had to put myself under the air conditioner from the morning at a constant temperature, a day down, the whole person is feeling depressed, like the kind of plant that does not see the sun for a long time, no luster wilting. The extreme longing for cool rain and thick clouds that can cover the hot sun, so the balcony will be more than one nothing to see the clouds I, but also fussed with the children, look, clouds slowly up, rain is not far away! In the afternoon, with the strong wind that I didn't know the direction of, and with the excitement that the weather forecast gave me three days ago, I said loudly, "The rain is coming to fill the building, let the rain come more violently! The fact is, I saw a thick fog in the distant sky, rushing in the direction of my fast-moving, instantly, the skyscrapers in front of me one by one drowned in this mass of gray-white fog, the wind mixed with the rain to the face, I can vaguely hear the sound of people stirring downstairs, my emotions immediately climbed to the peak of complacency, like meeting the fiery embrace of lovers, forgetting to enjoy the wind blowing rain.

  In the north, such rain even in the summer is rare, I remember once in Chang'an County, Xiangji Temple encountered such a rainstorm, at that time under the tower of Xiangji Temple, the wind blowing people can barely open their eyes, my hair in an extremely exaggerated form flying, like the kind of martial arts films in the hair of the great masters in the hair, from time to time there will be leaves slapped violently on the face. From below, the ancient pagoda with an incredible angle straight into the clouds, dark clouds thick black, with the wind quickly flowing, the scene makes people almost confused, is the time about to reverse? What disaster is about to come? Just to look at the end, suddenly, the wind and sand confused eyes, it was too late, the rain like a child's fist on the body, the strong fragrance of the earth without saying straight to the door, then quickly, a few people in the rain under the head, and just into the Buddha Hall, a cat with unimaginable speed swept over my half of the body that has not yet entered, disappeared without a trace! This memory, I do not know how many times in a dream, so impressive that they feel amazed, that temple, that pagoda, that rain, let me enter a brief meditation, as if in another time and space, real and nothingness!

  The rain soon stopped, not far from the green hills, hidden in the slowly drifting clouds, the eaves of the Buddha Hall are still dripping water, everything is just wiped off the dust, bright and beautiful, the sky blue is moving, the wind has also become soft, wrapped with a trace of white clouds swept through the hair is not yet dry, and then look at the pagoda, peaceful and calm stand, that gray is no longer scary, and become full of spirit!

  After I said goodbye to Xiangji Temple, I often revisit the old place.

  The sky is covered with dark clouds, as if a canopy, covering the sky, in front of all the gray gloom. The heart of the melancholy, noisy people's thoughts, this is afraid that there will be heavy rainfall, whoops!

  This is not, just after the temporary weather forecast, the sky suddenly pouring rain, the rain is very rapid.

  "Ta, ta ......"

  A series of rain striking sound, heartbeat is also driven, think of the home drying clothes have not been put away, only now have been completely wet it! There is no way, can only grimly bitter smile, hey ......

  The Chinese idiom of "save for a rainy day" has been around for a long time, but there are always so many unprepared people who have to endure the blow.

  The whole afternoon can only hide in the house. This rain is too big, big to make people palpitate. As if a go out, to be drenched into the soup. I thought yesterday was a sunny and clear day, but I didn't think it would change. The ancient saying is good: "The sky is unpredictable, people have a day and night, the matter is difficult to complete". I've been thinking about doing the laundry again. But looking at the gloomy weather, there is no mood to clean up the mess. The heart spontaneously overflowed with an inert, just want to sit, do not want anything else.

  This is the way time rushes by, leaving no trace, only that the rain has stopped.

  I reached out to pick up the rain falling from the eaves, a very cool feeling rose from the bottom of my heart. I think if my body is wet, I will not catch a cold.

  I lifted my clothes that were wet from the rain and smelled them, full of the unpleasant smell of moisture. The fact is that you'll be able to take it off, twist it into a ball, throw it in the bucket, and leave it for now.

  Reorganize the mood to go back to work, after all, the clothes have been wet, and the money still has to earn.

  When it was more than six o'clock, I couldn't help but glance out the window. The golden sunlight is all over the earth, through the leaves of the trees, slightly dappled, but look at the brightness of the eyes, and then to the heart, a quiet and peaceful. After a few moments, full of intoxication, I did not realize that I had been immersed in it, born a "sunset infinite good, just near dusk" sigh.

  If you can walk in the sunset, bathed in a golden glow, the feeling must be happy and beautiful. Especially after the rain, the air is moist, the smoke and dust washed away, and much fresher.

  Looking at the sky, looking forward to the rainbow ......
