▍ The sound of metaphor always makes me ecstatic ▍ |

I walked through the Qinglong Town ruins and walked to the riverside, wanting to pick up something.
After a long time, the sound of the boat's motor came from behind. He took out his cell phone,
Aim for the open space on the other side of the river. An elderly couple, their backs shining.
The waves caused by the boat are like ladders, rising upwards and gradually crossing the canopy of trees.
