travel on the tip of the tongue

……

When Lin Shenlu thought of Populus euphratica, he remembered the time when he and Hani drove by themselves before returning to Chengdu.

Hani deserves to be the top private guide in Northern Xinjiang.

The place to go made Lin Shenlu extremely yearn for.

Lin Shenlu remembered that someone once said such a sentence to him.

I don't know what the mood is in the desert. I only know that there is Populus euphratica in the desert—the goddess-like Populus euphratica.

If Populus euphratica is a goddess, then Populus euphratica forest is a group of goddesses dancing...

I remember that the car crushed the thirsty Gobi, and the desert was shrouded in the blue sky.

The sparse Achnatherum splendens lay lazily on the gravel, swinging their petite bodies in the wind.

Occasionally there are a few thin camel thorns, almost scorched by the hot sun.

The sand dates hunched their malnourished backs and groaned, everything looked so desolate and lonely.The northwestern wind swept across the desert with crushed sand, and there was a wail in the wilderness. Life seemed so fragile here.

Suddenly, a huge Populus euphratica forest came into Lin Shenlu's eyes, causing Lin Shenlu's heart to throb.

In that piece of Populus euphratica, some are alive, some are dead, and some are dead but still alive.

Life, life is high-spirited, death, death is tragic.

Blue sky, yellow sand, brown tree trunks, twisted branches, beautiful red and yellow canopy and dizzying golden leaves, what a wonderful picture.

Lin Shenlu was fortunate that he came to northern Xinjiang in autumn.

In the golden autumn season, Populus euphratica forests decorate northern Xinjiang, making it the most beautiful corridor.

The golden autumn sun and Populus euphratica are integrated into one, a yellow color based on the land, shining forward, backward, left and right, and from the inside of the Populus euphratica forest, there is an awe-inspiring and great aura. shine.

There are thousands of branches clinging to each other among the trees in the forest. They are dry or sprouting and stretching upwards.

The distance between Populus euphratica has no rules, it may be three to five meters or seven or eight meters, or close to each other or separated, just extending around irregularly.

Under the tree is the semi-salinized land, which is the original posture presented by countless corpses of Populus euphratica that have differentiated and are in the process of differentiation.

……

Thinking of this, Lin Shenlu opened his eyes, and began to conceive on the wooden house with the paintbrush in his hand.

The oil painting brush in his hand also began to sway on the wooden house.

Of course, the creation of this kind of painting is very challenging.

First of all, it is necessary to ensure that the paintings on the walls of each wooden house are a complete work when viewed individually.

And all these works in one direction look at the panorama from a distance, and when they are connected together, they are still a complete large-scale work.

So that's the biggest challenge.

Lin Shenlu, who was in charge of autumn, painted the front.

Spring is at the back, summer is on the left, and winter is on the right.

Lin Shenlu conceived and painted while recalling the Populus euphratica forest and the desert that he had seen...that is a unique and beautiful masterpiece belonging to northern Xinjiang.

Perhaps only if you really visit this place and see the sand-fixing projects on both sides of the road, you may be amazed as a masterpiece of the world, or it is not an exaggeration to call it a weaving art.

Achnatherum splendens grows in a square or rhombus pattern.

On the next level, plants such as seabuckthorn and tamarisk in the quicksand are protected by endless rubber tubes. There are small holes in the rubber tubes to ooze water droplets, which just moisten the roots of each sand-fixing plant, so as to ensure that these sand-resistant fighters will not wither. And downsizing.

……

Lin Shenlu remembers very clearly that at that time, he let Hani wait in the car for the sunshine plan, and with infinite admiration, Lin Shenlu walked gently towards a Populus euphratica forest by himself, and as he moved slowly, he also Melted into a piece of dazzling gold.

It was the golden autumn season, and there were poplar trees standing beside them, graceful and unrestrained, luxurious and magnificent. At that time, Lin Shenlu seemed to have stepped into a mythical world, and he couldn't help but feel passionate and mental!

Walking along the way, the road under my feet, the flowing river, the red willow bushes on the bank, and my eyes, everything has become brilliant...

Everyone has to sigh... Could it be that the Populus euphratica forest has been dyed such a golden color?

……

The golden color of Lin Shenlu's painting can be more easily integrated on the walls of the wooden house.

Because the colors are similar.

Whether it is the desert, the next door or Populus euphratica forest, they are all beautiful in one color system.

It is not only the art of color, but also life and death, intertwined here.

The intuitive feeling of Populus euphratica...as if a battle had just happened, and some fell to the ground with their roots exposed.

Some stood on their knees with sticks and swords, looking up to the sky and sighing.

In Lin Shenlu's view, this work does not belong to Cubism, Expressionism, Futurism or Surrealism.

In Lin Shenlu's pen, some tree trunks are lying down, some are lying horizontally, and some are stretching their muscles and bones, standing tenaciously.

There are also trees with kinks and scars.

What is shown here is the borderline between life and death.

Yes, life is not easy, sometimes there is depression, depression and loss.

This piece of Populus euphratica forest is so tall, they have gone through hardships.

What Lin Shenlu showed was for everyone to see...it was perseverance, patience, resistance, and shouting.

Not despair, not sorrow, not fear.

……

Lin Shenlu gently closed his eyes, and there was a blank space above...that was the place left for the sky!

It is to draw a beautiful sky and Populus euphratica forest against each other...

So... in the blue sky, a few bright clouds floated by...

Lin Shenlu looked deeply at his composition, as if the clouds were also the smoke of war.

The Populus euphratica forest described by Lin Shenlu is an epic, which records the process of life.

……

Lin Shenlu can deeply feel that this painting of his own carries too many things.

Not only a beautiful picture, but also the spirit of this plant!

Yes, in the Gobi Desert, at first glance, Achnatherum splendens lives weakly, camel thorns live humblely, and sand dates live even though their spines are not straight.

They are brave, they fight, they are fearless, they live, reproduce, and continue.

Lin Shenlu has his own ideas.

Populus euphratica is a great husband among them.

It is said that Populus euphratica can live for 1000 years without dying, die for 1000 years without falling, and fall without decay after 1000 years. This is Populus euphratica.

Some things die, and soon rot and disappear. Populus euphratica is dead, but keeps alive. He shows people his unyielding and resistance.

Lin Shenlu has already had a lot of fun painting!

At this moment, the huge work under my pen is in the silent Populus euphratica forest, and there is no one there.

It is the breeze passing by the treetops, the branches and leaves are whirling in the wind, and there are bursts of low-pitched singing, which is very similar to the sound of raindrops falling. This place is not only poetic, but also magical.

Lin Shenlu seemed to be once again in the beauty of a fairyland, Lin Shenlu was mesmerized...

The scene in front of me is obviously a realistic work, but it is exactly like a freehand painting, full of rich ink and color, passionate and unrestrained.

Numerous thick Populus euphratica trees, like warriors fighting on the battlefield, stand in the golden autumn, and the tree body is wrapped in cracked bark, which is the scar left by the Gobi wind and sand, and it is also the populus euphratica fighting against fate. imprint.

In the years of fighting against the wind and sand, some Populus euphratica trees stand tall, some have bent their trunks, some have tilted, and some have fallen to the ground.

But life didn’t end there. Those fallen Populus euphratica trees, still holding speckled golden leaves on their branches, whispered in the wind, telling the survival story of life and death, showing the nature that life will not end easily. law.

The Populus euphratica tree rooted in the barren desert has experienced countless hardships in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and finally grows into a towering tree.

Prompted by a kind of nostalgia and cherishment, Populus euphratica finally broke out, released all the passion of life, set off the climax movement of changing seasons in the Symphony of Destiny, and interpreted the brilliance of life to the extreme with incomparably gorgeous gold. Give people a spiritual shock.

……

At this point in the painting, Lin Shenlu suddenly stopped writing. At this moment, Lin Shenlu seemed to understand the declaration of Populus euphratica.

The course of life is always full of struggle and struggle!

The struggle is for the right to survive, and the struggle is for the splendor of this journey.

The Populus euphratica forest in his works reminds Lin Shenlu of people. Some people have a mediocre life, just like a piece of music is limited to one note and one rhythm from the beginning to the end. There is no experience of ups and downs, no stirring and deafening Without the echo, life will be a little less exciting, and the meaning of life will also be discounted.

Looking at the Populus euphratica forest painted on the small wooden house in front of him, Lin Shenlu asked himself silently, are people really not as good as a Populus euphratica tree?

……

Lin Shenlu remembers walking in the Populus euphratica forest that day, his footsteps were unusually slow, and the ground was covered with fallen leaves of the Populus euphratica tree, because he was a temperamental person, out of understanding of the difficult survival of the Populus euphratica tree, and respect for its tenacious vitality.

Lin Shenlu walked cautiously, not wanting to step on any fallen leaves, let alone hear the slight groans of Populus euphratica leaves under his feet.

Populus euphratica grows in the arid desert. Because of its extraordinary tenacious vitality, it is known as the hero tree, which Lin Shenlu appreciates very much.

Because I have never seen Populus euphratica before, Lin Shenlu has always admired and praised Qingsong among the thousands of tree species. The posture that stands proudly in the face of the heavy snow, and the eternal belief in insisting on lush greenery are definitely thousands of trees. A man among thousands of trees.

In this close contact with Populus euphratica, Lin Shenlu got a more profound enlightenment. Surviving in the vast desert is itself a miracle. People are impressed, not to mention that Populus euphratica grows from a weak seedling to a towering tree.

At this moment, in Lin Shenlu's mind, Populus euphratica has replaced Qingsong as the hero he admires most.

Green pine grows in the deep mountains and on cliffs, giving people the emotion of being unmoved in the wind and snow, and the living environment of Populus euphratica is much worse than that of green pine. Despite the torment of the drought, Populus euphratica still shows dazzling color changes, from emerald green to golden yellow, and blood red after the frost.

Ruthless is not necessarily a real hero, compared with Qingsong, it is much inferior.

In the struggle against fate, Populus euphratica shows the heroic temperament of a warrior, and the living unit it experiences is the concentration of a person's life.

In spring, the branches of Populus euphratica show tender green buds, which is the childhood of people. They absorb nutrients and grow rapidly. The leaves are just like when people are in the prime of life, they just create the brilliance of life. In winter, the Populus euphratica tree sheds its last leaf in the cold wind, which is the last curtain call of life.

……

Three days later...

Lin Shenlu finally stopped writing.

For the past three days, Lin Shenlu has been painting all the time besides eating.

One wall leads to another.

He did it.

He painted the beautiful Populus euphratica forest on the walls of seven or eight wooden houses.

A large piece of Populus euphratica forest is connected together. From a distance, it is a tribute to life.

The connection... Lin Shenlu began to highlight the beauty of the sky again, highlighting the sunshine and blue sky.

And the huge painting in the second half was handed over to Birch Forest...

In this way, a whole work is finally presented perfectly.

It was the work of Lin Shenlu painstakingly.

Northern Xinjiang in autumn, Kanas in autumn, Populus euphratica forest in autumn, birch forest in autumn.

Lin Shenlu no longer knew how much paint he had used.

I don't know how many oil painting brushes have been changed.

Su Baoer has been back and forth many times in the past few days, but Lin Shenlu is too busy.

Not only Lin Shenlu, Ye Yaochen, Teacher Bao, Chen Wan'an, everyone is crazy about drawing.

Everyone is immersed in their own works.

Su Baoer didn't even have anyone to play with.

An Muxi accompanied Lin Shenlu.

But I've been looking at paintings like this for a long time...it's really boring.

So An Muxi took Bao'er out for a walk the next day.

The sea blue whale also came back the next afternoon.

And what I saw was the paintings of these four people who were in a state of excitement...

The sea blue whale was indeed shocked.

Because the first thing you see when you enter the gate is the front walls of the dozen or so wooden houses in the yard... It's just that the sea blue whale almost thinks it's dazzled.

Where is there any wooden house, it is clearly a world in late autumn?

My manor crossed together? ?

After a closer look, it was discovered that Lin Shenlu used misplaced visual effects to paint his cabin full of Populus euphratica forest.

This is the beautiful golden autumn of northern Xinjiang.

The sea blue whale was shocked.

Can this painting still be painted like this?

She knew about Lin Shenlu's arrival.

No way, Sea Blue Whale has been a little busy recently.

Since taking over the manor, Sea Blue Whale has somehow become a member of the Kanas Inn Association, and the property is relatively large. Among so many innkeepers in Kanas, Sea Blue Whale still has a lot to say.

So there are more things to do.

What a meeting of the Inn Association on environmental protection.

What is the problem of sewage discharge treatment...

After all, it is a sin to pollute such beautiful Kanas.

So the sea blue whale was delayed for a few days.

But what I didn't expect was that there was a big surprise when I came back.

Such a huge painting... This is the first time I have seen a sea blue whale...

Lin Shenlu painted more than a dozen walls by himself?

Although the tree composition is relatively large and does not need to be drawn in great detail, it is shocking enough.

What makes the sea blue whale even more shocking is... there are four such paintings.

Except for the autumn picture drawn by Lin Shenlu in front of him.

Chunxia and Dao are also in the works.

The sea blue whale walked around the manor...

It is really a surprise at every glance.

Each log cabin is surrounded by four scenes of spring, summer, autumn and winter.

And looking at it from a distance...all the wooden house walls connected together is another season of the world.

This is the first time I have seen such a creation of sea blue whales.

This is afraid to create a miracle.

……

Lin Shenlu's completed works are beautiful.

One-third of the left is Populus euphratica forest.

One third to the right is a birch forest...

And the most middle position is a blue lake under the blue sky and sunshine.

And Lin Shenlu's finishing touch...

In this turquoise lake, a small whale sticks out its head from the water and is looking at the sky.

And on the grass by the lake, a small deer is drinking water by the lake.

Both animals are drawn very small.

The kind that is so small that you can't see it unless you look closely.

Only by carefully savoring the whole masterpiece can we accidentally discover this sweet finishing touch.

Without affecting the overall autumn of northern Xinjiang...the cuteness of these two small animals is vividly displayed.

Of course, compared with Lin Shenlu's cutie, Mr. Bao's Xiazhibeijiang is much more spectacular.

Because also after painting the beautiful scenery of Kanas in summer, Nakanas Lake occupies a lot of space.

And a huge blue whale rolled out of Kanas Lake, as if flying in the air.

It was a whale flying out of the water and swimming in the air.

Although there are no whales in Kanas Lake, there are water monsters!

Mr. Bao deserves to be a top photographer.

It can be said that the control of color is very good.

What is different from Lin Shenlu... In Lin Shenlu's works, each wall of the cabin is a separate work, but they are connected together to form a complete work.

Teacher Bao's works are never complete.

If a wall is missing, it is missing, and splicing is splicing.

But Mr. Bao can perfectly find the critical point.

Just like this huge lake, Mr. Bao can be said to span the walls of four or five wooden houses.

A piece of blue, colorful flowers blooming by the lake, and the green forest and mountain peaks in the distance are all the beauty under the sun.

……

Ye Yaochen on the back painted spring.

Northern Xinjiang in spring is slightly different.

In the early spring, Baihaba is full of mountain flowers, the trees are green, all things are revived, and the mountains are full of green and charming people...

Ye Yaochen can be said to be the one with the weakest painting skills among the three.

Although I have learned it for a long time, I haven't picked up a pen for many years.

The overall magnificent masterpiece is very difficult to create.

But Ye Yaochen's thinking is also jumpy enough.

Ye Yaochen painted this whole work from morning to dusk.

From the rising sun on the far left, Kanas at sunrise, to the kingdom of day, although the scenes are different, they are connected continuously.

But the last part is the evening of Kanas in spring.

The sun is slowly setting, and the golden yellow and emerald green complement each other in the setting sun...

It is a perfect picture scroll with wooden houses, cooking smoke, village women carrying water, and children shepherding sheep.

On this point, Ye Yaochen had a good idea.

What Lin Shenlu paints is shock and spirit.

Mr. Bao's paintings are beautiful and dreamy.

Ye Yaochen paints fireworks and life.

And Chen Wanan...
