The sun had risen but was not strong enough to lift the veil of mist. Pac Ngoi was even more beautiful when immersed in mist. Mist wandered lazily on the faded tiled roofs. Mist clung to the wooden pillars. Mist peeked through the cracks in the windows, following the streaks of light into the house. Cool and suffocating. The forest trees were also immersed in mist. Dew drops rolled down the leaves, trying their best to swing themselves into the air. The morning sun tried to shine its rays on each sparkling glass drop. Under the porch, mist was still lingering. The wild flowers were shy and had not yet bloomed their pink petals. The women in the village had woken up early. The stove was red with fire. Smoke spread out, mixing with the mist, drawing a thin pattern in the sky. The aroma was warm and fragrant. I threw off the blanket and sat by the fire. Ms. Duong Thi Thoa, the owner of the motel, was cooking sticky rice for the guests. The sticky rice pot was steaming. After a while, the heat was so intense that it seemed like it wanted to rip off the buttons. My feet were running on the wooden floor out into the hallway. Oh my! The mist blew coolly on my face. I reached out as if I had caught the mist. The wind carried the cold air from Ba Be Lake and blew into the air. I stood there and inhaled deeply, filling my muscular chest. The feeling was ecstatic. If only I could wrap up the mist, I would bring it back to the city as a gift. In a place of suffocating dust and smoke, just inhaling a breath of this mist would be so precious. The mist in Pac Ngoi seemed to have its own beauty. The thin mist from Lung Nham peak flowed through Puong Cave, hovered over Ba Be Lake, and glided over the corn fields and rice fields in the valley. When entering the village, the mist carried the breath of the mountains and hills, the scent of green-leafed forest trees, and the rich taste of rice and corn. I don't know if that's why the dew-dried wild meat and the overnight stream fish were more flavorful and delicious. I just stood there, watching the morning mist. Somewhere, in those distant, hazy houses, there must be some traveling eyes sending their love into the mist. The mist is like a painting that blurs everything so that for thousands of years the mountains and hills have remained silent, the Tay village is still peaceful and quiet. Even visitors from far away who come here to stay are captivated by the mist, not strong enough to make the scenery noisy and agitated. Therefore, Pac Ngoi is still beautiful, attractive, magical, and allows the imagination to be free in the mist. Visitors just follow the Then singing, follow the hillside, and feel nostalgic in the white mist to find their way here. There, the Tay women with black teeth and indigo shirts blow sticky rice every morning, blending into the smoke and mist to serve visitors. Pac Ngoi is a meeting place for those who come to
explore Ba Be. Come early to immerse yourself in the small misty village.
