Mother's yard has become the new home of Mingxi and Xiaotao.

During the day, Xiao Tao makes clothes and cleans the porch. Mingxi catches grasshoppers. The yard was overgrown with waist-deep weeds, and as soon as people walked by, grasshoppers fluttered and exploded into the pot, like fried soybeans on a hot pan. In fact, Mingxi won't hurt them, and will release them if they catch them, they just jump around when they meet her.

Tired of scratching, Mingxi sat on the porch and watched the sky. The sky was beautiful, cloudy like a huge, thick curtain that kept all the noise out and firmly protected her. The sunny day is like a fairyland that cannot be touched, and there are palaces and pavilions carved from white marble, holy lotus flowers, and pure white sheep in the fairyland......

Mingxi often wondered what it would be like to lie on the clouds. Soft, sweet, or like lying in Daddy's arms?

What is Daddy doing now? Are you still leaning on the stone tablet, staring at your mother's name stupidly? He looked at his mother, but his mother didn't want to pay attention to him. Mingxi looked at him, but he didn't want to pay attention to her. Every time he recalled the scene in front of the stone tablet where he resolutely pushed her away, Mingxi felt sad. He wants to accompany his mother, and he doesn't want her to follow him.

His fiery breath in those nights seemed to be just a dream of Mingxi, or his dream. After waking up from the dream, the strange and seductive bright moon passed away with the wind, and he was still him, doting on her and loving her father. Probably, Daddy is a cloud in the sky, very beautiful, right in front of her eyes, but she will never be able to touch it.

Gradually, Mingxi began to hate his father, hated him for choosing his mother, hated him for leaving her here, hated him for letting Mingyue disappear......

Mingxi would rather be locked up in this small courtyard for the rest of his life than go back to the cemetery to see him thinking about his mother.

At night, it gets especially dark outside. The faded pink veil on the porch swayed like ghosts. The weeds in the courtyard were crumbling, probably ghosts walking around. Occasionally, an unknown bird would perch on the rooftop, croaking and chirping. The most terrifying thing is that when the wind blows, the lock on the main house gurgles and moans in the wind, Mingxi is really afraid that it will fall suddenly, and then the door creaks and slowly opens.

Mingxi was afraid of that room, and he didn't dare to approach it during the day.

She always felt that the front of the door was gloomy, and there was a slight chill to the bone, and even the midday sun could not make it half warm. Even though my mother used to live there, even though she saw my mother for the last time there, even though my father's things were stored in it.

Every night, Mingxi stayed by the bean-like oil lamp, quietly watching the little peach embroidery. When I was sleepy, I watched her blow out the oil lamp, and then got into the quilt with her and hugged her warm waist.

Outside the quilt, it's cold. Inside the quilt, it's warm.

She once asked Xiao Tao worriedly: "Xiao Tao, will you be with me for the rest of your life?" Stay in this courtyard together. ”

She gently tucked the quilt for me: "Young master, Xiao Tao will never leave you." ”

After listening, Mingxi fell asleep peacefully, she believed her.

The sound of rain outside the window is sparse and tight, like crying and complaining, as if telling of distant sadness.

I don't know how long I sat there, Mingxi stretched out his hand and gently wiped the fog off the mirror, the people inside looked like my father, and the country and the city were overwhelmed.

She slowly crawled past, getting closer and closer to her, her blue eyes facing each other.

"Are you Mingyue or Mingxi?" She asked.

She also asked Mingxi the same question.

Mingxi smiled faintly and pressed it against her forehead.

"If others miss you, they can look at me. What can I do if I miss you? ”

Crystal clear tears rolled down the smooth mirror, blurring Mingyue's face in the mirror.

Suddenly, Mingxi ran out like a demon.

Running and running, her brain gradually cleared, and subconsciously, she turned her head to look behind her.

It was just as the sun was setting, and the fiery red sun stopped at the top of the distant mountains, staining half of the sky red. Several people were fighting around a carriage, and bright red blood beads continued to spurt upward, drawing a brilliant arc in the center of the red sun.

"Ahh But the instinct to survive made her immediately cheer up and get up and run again.

I don't know how long it took, the lost soul returned to her body, and everything in her eyes gradually became clear.

The grass around is thick and dense, waist-deep, and there is no road at all. The dark sky was dotted with a few sparse stars, emitting a cold shimmer. In the distance, the sky and the earth blur.

Tired and hungry, she finally changed her run to walk, staggering forward.

Suddenly, her foot stepped on something soft, and by the faint starlight, it turned out to be a snake, which made me jump backwards with a "whoosh".

The snake also tossed and quickly disappeared into the grass.

Mingxi didn't dare to go any further, because she didn't know if the snake would come out of nowhere and bite her unexpectedly.

The insects in the grass were screaming louder and louder, probably because they were scared by the snake.

Suddenly, there was a sound of brushing all around, could it be that the snake had really returned? Mingxi stopped whimpering, looking in horror in the direction where the voice came from, and her body continued to tremble.

Finally, the sound of brushing surrounded her, and then a pair of large hands plucked away the weeds in front of her.

"Xi'er, is that you?" The visitor asked nervously.

Mingxi breathed a sigh of relief and looked indifferently at the man who was carved by the hazy starlight.

"Mother-in-law, don't be afraid, I'm Siyu." He whispered as he slowly crawled towards her, his black forehead fluttering in the night breeze.

She shrank back, "Don't, touch me." "She's been alone for a long time, and she's not used to being touched by anyone.

His face changed miserably: "Mother-in-law, it's me." ”

She nodded, and said laboriously, "Acquaintance, you, gone, hate, me." "He said he wouldn't see her again, he said he couldn't stand her anymore.

"Damn—" He slammed his fist into the ground, and looked up again, with a begging glint in his eyes, "I'm back again, mother-in-law." As he spoke, he slowly raised his right hand.

Before Mingxi could make a decision, her body moved on its own, and she slapped the hand in front of her away with a "snap": "Don't, you, sympathize with ......"

Before she could finish speaking, she had fallen into a hot embrace.

"Mother-in-law, my mother-in-law." His whole body was shaking.

Mingxi struggled twice, then reached out and grabbed the hem of his clothes. This embrace is very familiar, and on that rainy day, he also hugged her tremblingly. On that rainy day, she had a fight with her father. Now that I think about it, whether it's his back when he leaves through the window or his father's angry face, it's all so cute.

A puff of water rose into her dry eyes: "Come back, just, don't, again, leave me." ”

He stroked her hair gently: "Don't worry, it won't." ”

Mingxi's eyes darkened, and he fell asleep with confidence.

Half-asleep, the breeze blew softly past them, and it was cool.

In the deep blue transparent night sky, the stars are vast, twinkling and shining, glowing with warm and bright light. Siyu walked forward steadily with Mingxi on her back, her wide hands supporting her ass. She pressed her face against his warm back, put her arms around his neck, and let the tears soak his clothes silently.

After returning from the clouds, Mingxi found that they had arrived in a fairyland-like place,

Under their feet is a vast sea of clouds, and in the sea of clouds, there are mountains with different postures looming. Some are like Crouching Tigers, some are like coiling dragons, and some are like pen holders. Looking up, the stone steps spiral up the mountainside, and the road is full of colorful flowers. Large clusters of red clouds hung down from the walls, dyeing the entire trail with a refreshing faint fragrance. Turning the corner, my eyes lit up again, and it turned out that the mountains were full of this kind of red wildflowers, like a fiery red morning glow.

"Siyu, here, it's beautiful." She exclaimed.

"Well, when I have a chance in the future, I'll take you to have a good time." Siyu gasped for breath while carrying her up on his back.

She clamped her legs: "Siyu, I'm a little dizzy, it's so high below." ”

Before she knew it, her throat was slowly returning to normal.

He lifted her up: "Don't look down, we'll rest in a while." ”

Rest, rest, rest......

His voice echoed ethereal in the mountains before fading away.

Discovering this phenomenon, Mingxi suddenly became excited, and asked loudly with his throat torn open.

"Siyu, what's on the mountain, flowers?!" She deliberately bit the last word hard.

"It should be a cuckoo."

"Siyu, your back is all over, sweat!"

"It's okay, climb over this cliff, and we'll rest for a while."

"Siyu, today's morning glow is so red, and the flowers are so red, all of them are red, so beautiful, ah!"

"That's not the morning glow, it's the sunset."

"Oh, so I slept all night, a white, day!"

"Well, you slept soundly and drooled."

"Ah, then I'm hungry!"

"We'll eat in a moment."

The last word of each sentence brought an echo, and Mingxi couldn't help but giggle, and the laughter flew around in the mountains, like a string of crisp silver bells.

"Mother-in-law, don't move, sit tight." Siyu lifted her up again.

Mingxi became more and more happy, and hugged his scum-covered face from behind: "Siyu, we are together again." ”

"Hmm." He nodded solemnly.

"I like you so much," Mingxi looked up at the brilliant red clouds in the sky and shouted, "I like Siyu so much!" We don't separate! ”

When the sunset burned out, a silver-like waterfall appeared in front of us, and under the waterfall was a clear river. The banks of the river are covered with smooth bluestones.

Siyu put her on the big bluestone by the river, took out a cloak from the burden and put it on for her, and then spread out the firewood and arranged the dry food. Stars of all sizes gradually appeared in the sky, coating all the scenery with a soft light.

Mingxi looked at the mysterious night sky from afar, and asked on a whim: "Siyu, why are there stars in the sky?" ”

He thought for a moment and stuffed a piece of hot steamed bun into her mouth: "Well, I don't know. ”

"Because there is a bright light on the ground who loves to watch the stars, my father told me."

She asked her father again: "Then why is there Mingxi?" ”

Daddy's eyes reflected the soft starlight: "Because there are fathers in the world who like Mingxi." ”

"So, why is there a daddy?"

"Because there is Mingxi in the world who likes his father."

Mingxi understood, because she liked stars, so she had stars. Because Daddy likes her, she has Mingxi. She's in this world, that's why Daddy will appear.

"Oh, what your dad said, ah, huh." At the mention of his father, Siyu's tone changed abruptly, he stared at the fire, took a bite of the steamed bun angrily, and his thick eyebrows were twisted into a ball.

"My dad said, guess what he said?"

Mingxi told him again that his father had agreed to them being together.

"I'm stupid and stupid and ugly, and I don't deserve his daughter." Siyu took another bite of the steamed bun.

Mingxi tilted his neck and looked at his awkward expression: "Siyu, are you angry?" ”

Hearing this, Siyu grinned at her, but after grinning for a long time, he only stiffly showed a mouthful of big white teeth, and he still didn't learn how to laugh.

"I'm not angry," he said with a grin, "Mother-in-law, I'll stay away for a while, you take off your clothes, I'll wash them for you, and I'll do it tomorrow." ”

After rolling in the muddy water and walking a long way, Mingxi's clothes were already so dirty that he couldn't see anyone.

She nodded: "Oh, well, you don't have to avoid it, it's not that you haven't seen it." As she spoke, she untied her cloak, grabbed her belt and dragged it, and her body was so broken that only a thin white jacket remained on her body.

"Take it." Mingxi covered the side of his belly pocket with one hand and handed him the clothes with the other.

He looked at her dumbfounded, and didn't move for a long time. Suddenly, he quickly pulled up his cloak and wrapped her tightly: "Xi'er, remember, you are not allowed to take off your clothes in front of anyone except me." ”

The blazing flames reflected his red-faced face like a small cherry blossom, and seeing that he was in such a hurry, she suddenly had the idea of playing tricks on him.

"In front of Momo?" She asked.

"Walk in front of women."

"What about when there are many men behind Xiao Tao?" Of course she knew it wouldn't work at this time, but she liked to see him frown nervously.

He shook his head and said eagerly: "Forget it, not in front of Xiao Tao, not in front of women, not in front of men." ”

"In front of my father?"

"Nope."

"Then I took it off in front of him before."

"It used to be, but now it doesn't work, and others can't touch a single hair of you."

"Oh." She nodded, "But why can I take it off in front of you?" ”

He was stunned again, and his face turned even redder: "Mother-in-law, you sleep first." Throwing off this vague sentence, he turned around and turned down the big bluestone, leaving her to sit alone on the stone and laugh evilly.

The evening breeze brings the soft scent of rhododendrons, and the birds chirp regularly in the trees.

Mingxi was lying on the stone, looking at Siyu who was washing clothes by the river, and couldn't sleep.

It can't be a dream, right?

Thinking of this, she was a little scared, and couldn't help but speak: "Siyu." ”

"Huh?" He looked back at her.

"I want to take a bath."

"The water is cold."

"But I'm so dirty."

He groaned, "You wait. ”

She nodded, relieved.

After drying the clothes, Siyu picked up a flat stone and returned to the river, put the stone down in a knee-deep place, and said to her, "Xi'er, come." ”

She unfastened her cloak, took off her shoes, and walked slowly into the creek, then took his hand and sat down on the large rock he had moved. The cold water of the river overflowed her chest, and she shivered with cold.

"Is it cool?"

Mingxi was afraid that he would call her up, so she hurriedly shook her head: "It's not cold." ”

Siyu picked up the river water, poured it on her head, and began to wash her hair seriously. His hand strength is just right, not light or heavy, and very comfortable.

At some point, a bright half-moon rose from the top of the mountain, making the waterfall as clear as a crystal. Her hair was loosely spread in the water, like bunches of amorous aquatic plants, rippling around those beautiful splashes.

"Siyu, the moon is so beautiful." She raised her hand and stroked the moon in the sky, and the water beads rolled down her white jade arms.

Siyu was seriously rubbing her hair, and when she said this, he answered: "You are more beautiful than the moon." ”

Mingxi was very happy, and turned his head to look at him: "Really? ”

More beautiful than the moon, how beautiful she is.

He nodded solemnly, his eyes flowing with clear moonlight: "Really." ”

Mingxi looked at his eyes blankly, she was stupid, she wanted to be with him, forever.

After washing her hair, he helped her wipe her face and neck. Suddenly, he retracted his hand with lightning speed.

Mingxi raised his hand, threw the small jacket in his hand ashore, and smiled mischievously: "What are you afraid of?" I touched it all that day. ”

He stared straight at her, silent.

Mingxi had already made up her mind to eat with him, and seeing that he didn't react, she made persistent efforts, raised her lotus root-like jade arm, and climbed onto his fiery and strong chest: "Let's cook again, okay?" ”

He still didn't react.

Mingxi's heart gradually cooled down, could it be that he didn't like himself anymore?

At this moment, he grabbed Mingxi's wrist and pulled her into his arms with a sharp pull: "Xi'er, I swear, I will definitely be good to you." Let's get married now, I can't wait any longer. So saying, he took her in his arms and walked towards the shore.

This time it was Mingxi's turn to be at a loss.

He said, "They're going to marry now?" She really wasn't dreaming?

She put her arms around his neck, her mind foggy, and her body was so light that it was weightless, like a cloud.

……

Their incense stand is very simple, on the grass, three branches for incense, a few stones for sacrifice, and a pot of water for wine.

After setting it up, he stood up and took her hand: "Xi'er, let's be husband and wife." ”

In the middle of the moon, the ethereal moonlight pours down quietly, dissolving everything in the milky white moonlight, peaceful, peaceful.

Mingxi's head was even more dizzy, and he was drunk.

He said, do they do husband and wife?

"Okay." She replied instinctively.

He hugged Mingxi's shoulders, knelt down with her fluttering, then looked up at the starry sky, raised his right hand, and said word by word: "I, Siyu, am willing to marry Mingxi as my wife, in this life and this life, I will never lose each other, heaven and earth can be learned, and the sun and the moon are proof." ”

The sonorous and powerful voice spread throughout the starry sky, and continued to echo in the mountains, shaking Mingxi's nose sour.

He looked down at her, his gaze firm and gentle: "Xi'er, worship heaven and earth with me." ”

Mingxi nodded in a daze, and slowly bowed three times with him. For some reason, a tear quickly slipped from the corner of her eye.

Straightening up, he picked up the kettle and poured a sip of water, pressed her head, and kissed it.

Mingxi was already so nervous that he couldn't breathe, his heart was beating faster than that of a fawn, and he only knew how to follow the guidance of the tip of his tongue stiffly.

After some time, he released her lips and pressed them against her forehead.

"Xi'er, after worshipping heaven and earth, drinking a glass of wine, we are husband and wife."

She still couldn't react, and she didn't know where she was.

"Siyu, I'm not dreaming, right?"

"It's not."

"Xianggong?" She asked uncertainly.

He replied, "Yes." ”

"Xianggong?"

"Yes, mother-in-law." He took her lips in again. (To be continued.) )
