There is an unknown stream in my hometown, and there are five or six small villages on both sides of the stream. The running water of the stream is constant all the year round. Every year in the flood season (xù n), flash floods and streams surge. After the flash floods, people have to take off their shoes and pants when they go out to work, go to the market and visit friends. In autumn, the weather gets cold. According to the depth of the water, people in my hometown find some flat and square stones from both sides of the river, and put them in a row in the stream every two feet or so for people to step on. This is a stone.

Gaishi, a landscape in my hometown. After the cool autumn, people put the cover stones away early. If there is a stone qiǎn other places, but this one doesn't, people will accuse people here of being lazy. A slightly older person, no matter how anxious he is, will definitely put down what he is holding, find a suitable stone to ride on, and set foot on it several times until he is satisfied.

There is a popular saying in my hometown, "Walk in a covered stone and cross the bridge slowly". Gaishi, originally a natural stone, will inevitably move when stepping on it, and it is easy to keep balance when walking fast. People can't take the road in the stone, and they can't stop. If the person in front suddenly stops and the person behind has nowhere to stay, he will fall into the water. Whenever a group of people go to build stones or work, the movements are so coordinated and orderly! Lift your feet in front and follow closely behind. The sound of stepping is like light music. The clear waves are overflowing and the characters are numerous, giving people a general sense of beauty.

People who often go to the mountains have probably seen such a scene: if two people walk face to face to the stream at the same time, they will always stop at the first stone and wave to let each other go first. When the other party crosses the river, they will say a few words of household words before they fight. If an old man comes to build a stone, young people always bend over to carry the old man. People take it for granted.

Rows of covered stones make people walk and step on them. They are connected with the paths in their hometown and the good feelings of the villagers.
