夏夜的艾蒿

Felon Herbs in the Summer Night

夜色朦胧,星星闪烁,躺在松软的草帘子(一种用麦秸扎成的草席)上,奶奶在身边摇着蒲扇,爷爷在不远处吧嗒吧嗒地抽着旱烟。爷爷的身边,一簇荧荧的火头若明若暗地闪着光。爷爷的烟袋锅里盛满了南朝北国的故事,奶奶的蒲扇里摇出了八仙过海的逸闻。上风头,飘来一缕淡淡的清香。喔,那是艾绳在燃烧。淡淡的艾香弥漫在周围,驱走了嗡嗡乱叫的蚊子,带来了山村的宁静,送来了夏日的清凉。在淡淡的艾香中,我进入了甜甜的梦乡……

In the dim night,stars glittered.I lay on a sdft straw mat(made of wheat straws)with my grandma shaking her cattail leaf fan by my side and my grandpa smoking his long-stemmed Chinese pipe nearby.Beside my grandpa,a cluster of flames shone dimly.My grandpa’s pipe was filled with stories in different Bynasties and countries.
