Chapter 68 soil smell

On China's 9.6 million-square-kilometer territory, there is a small, sheep's-head-shaped place, which is the Yuzhong Plain. When you set foot on the plain, you will smell a dry and fishy smell, which is slightly carried in the wind or air, and it is naturally the smell of soil. Then, after a while, you will find that the breath is sweet, and there is a soft sweetness in the breath.If you walk further, you will taste a little bit of astringency, a little greasy, and a little bit of sand in the sweetness.That's right, this land is a mixture of sandy soil and clay soil, and it is a place called "Xiatu Tomb Lo" by the ancients.It means you're feeling good.Then, from east to west, or from south to north, you go from village to village, and you will find that although the roads are full of paths, the soil is exactly the same, and the plants are exactly the same.It's just that the soil in the east has more sandy soil, while the clay soil in the west has more clay; the south is more alkaline, and the north is more acidic. There is not much difference.Going further, you will first feel a sense of calmness, even peace, with a sweeping flat plain in front of your eyes, without any novelty or abruptness, which is very flat and boring.Then, you will have a kind of gray-brown feeling to this land. The gray is a kind of gray that is very woody, and the brown is also a kind of brown that is very boring. Both brown and gray look very gentle and friendly, not harsh at all. ; but it is very captivating, it will make people sink into it unconsciously, into a gray-blue atmosphere.The grayish blue is light-toned, getting farther and deeper, hazy, with a psychedelic charm.

If it is raining, there will suddenly be a smell of old wine on the ground.That was when the rain first came, and the ground had just dropped numb raindrops, and there would be a strong smell of alcohol floating on the plain.If you smell it carefully, you will find that there is a long-rotten smell in the wine, which is a long-distance signal of death remaining in the soil; Sweet, that is the growth signal from the root of the plant, it is the death signal that feeds the growth signal, so the breath of life and the breath of death are mixed together, making a dizzy Sleepy smell of old wine.

This is the breath of the plains. The breath of the plain is slowly intoxicating. In spring, on the freshly wet country road after the rain, there will be a feminine meat smell in the faint smell of wine, which is a kind of smoky, meaty sweetness; in summer, on the scorching sun At noon, there will be a strong smell of rancidity in the smell of wine, and there will be a smell of man's lower body in the smell of rancidity; in autumn, when the breeze slips by, the smell of wine will appear a little Astringent, a faint smell of a baby's umbilical cord; in winter, after the frost, walking on the winding ruts, the smell of wine will contain a dry absinthe smell, so bitter , The bitterness is very old, just like the bloodshot cough of the old man in the morning light.

If you continue walking, you will feel dizzy first, and then dizzy. As you walk, you will feel that you have been planted in the plain and become a plant on the plain.
