Surrounded by bamboo forests outside Luoting, the scenery outside the pavilion is completely new after the rain. Acacia love flies far away, but across a heavy high city.
The sky in late autumn is gloomy, and the season of frost flying is late. The lotus leaf in the water has withered, leaving only a few dead leaves for people to listen to the sound of raindrops dripping.
