(282) Red Maple Goes Cold (33)
When did you start liking someone?
When do you start to forget someone?
In all my short life, I have never thought about this question, except for ...... In the last moments of my life.
I thought I wouldn't fall in love with him.
But I still spent my years and wounded my bone marrow for him.
Once upon a time when he became the whole meaning of my life? From that moment on, I was already devoted to him.
I don't know, maybe the maple forest sunset is really too blurry, so I inadvertently lost my heart.
"Are you hurt?"
I hugged my knees, shook my head, and looked up at the skinny little boy in front of me.
His face was blue and purple, and he could barely see what it had been, but he still smiled happily, like a maple leaf that was as red as a flame around it.
"What are you laughing at? Don't you feel pain? I pointed to his miserable face.
As if he couldn't understand what I was saying, he raised his hand and touched his face.
"Sizzleββ!" His eyes narrowed in pain.
I should have shown sympathy for him now, but for some reason, I couldn't help but laugh out loud when I saw him embarrassed.
It was the first time I had laughed since my mother left.
Happy, pleasant, without any burden.
However, after the excitement, the pain that was originally on my back, like a snake tightly wrapped around my neck, instantly returned to my body, not giving me the slightest respite.
I turned my head, clasped my knees tightly, and stared at the stream in front of me for a moment of silence.
"What's wrong with you?" He asked me curiously.
I didn't answer him.
There was a sound behind him, and he walked up to me and sat down some distance from me.
"Are you sad?" He asked me in tone, but the meaning was very positive.
I wanted to shake my head in denial, but the tears in my eyes had already fallen without a fight.
He looked at me and was silent for a while before he spoke, "Actually...... there's nothing to hide about 'sadness', everyone has seven emotions and six desires, joys and sorrows." β
I choked up and wiped my tears and asked him intermittently, "What...... Is it seven emotions and six desires? Joys and sorrows are ...... And what is it? β
He turned his head to look at me in surprise, as if he didn't understand why I couldn't even understand such two simple words, but he patiently explained it to me.
"Among the seven emotions and six desires, the 'seven emotions' refer to the seven emotions of joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, evil, and desire, while the 'six desires' refer to the desires born of life, death, ears, eyes, mouth, and nose, that is, the desire to see, the desire to hear, the desire to smell, the desire to taste, the desire to touch, and the desire; As for joys and sorrows, it is easy to understand that it refers to the human situation of sadness, joy, separation, and convergence. β
After listening to his explanation, my tears flowed even more fiercely, I felt both aggrieved and ashamed, almost yelling at him with a crying voice, "Are you deliberately angry with me for what happened just now?" I don't understand a word of what you say, you just deliberately embarrassed me and wanted to laugh at me! β
He was a little stunned by my yelling, and didn't seem to understand what I was angry about, but when he saw me crying so sadly, he couldn't bear it, so he could only quickly admit his mistake and rack his brains to explain it to me in a more simple way.
In fact, the seven emotions and six desires and joys and sorrows all speak of similar meanings, that is, ...... Refers to human emotions, such as sadness, such as happiness......"
"That's it?"
He was a little hesitant, but when he saw me staring at him, he could only nod his head in resignation.
"Next time, don't make it so complicated, it's just like my brother......" I was still a little unconvinced, so I looked away and muttered in a low voice.
I didn't expect that I was just a petty man, but he nodded very seriously and assured me, "As long as you don't cry in the future, I will do what you say, I won't bother you." β
ββ¦β¦β
If it weren't for the fact that he was beaten and bruised and swollen just now in order to save me, I really want to add two more punches to his face!
Perhaps he also noticed that he was speaking inappropriately, and in order to divert his attention, he said, "The sun has set, where do you live?" Shall I send you back? β
I pursed my lips and didn't speak. 31
"Then ......" He didn't seem to want to go back when he saw me, so he had to change the subject, "I'll take you to see the sunset, right?" β
"Sunset?" I was stunned.
He nodded vigorously, and without saying anything, he took my hand and walked up the high slope.
The sinking orange-red light penetrated the layers of red maple leaves and scattered in his eyes.
I felt my heart pounding so fast that even my mind was in a trance, as if it was about to fly to the sky.
The wind in the forest blew my dress, and also blew his light jade robe, and the two intersected, entwined, like a dream.
"When I'm not happy, I like to find a quiet place and watch the clouds in the sky." He pulled me and sat down in a place with the best vision, "I have always felt that although people have joys, sorrows, and sorrows, in the face of the ruthless and desireless sky, many things that have been entangled by emotions can become more thorough and pureer. β
I looked up blankly at the brilliant and boundless clouds in the sky, and I didn't understand the meaning of what he said, but the warmth from his hand was like this firelight and smoke, which not only warmed my heart, but also warmed my eyes.
Suddenly, a maple leaf fluttered and landed on his shoulder, and then down his robe, and gently landed at his feet.
"Hey, men and women don't kiss, you ...... How do you come to me in the future? I suddenly asked him shyly.
He didn't know why, he looked at me stunned, and when he heard my question, he said directly, "Then, when I grow up in the future, I will marry you, so that there is no need to defend between you and me." β
My cheeks turned red, and I quickly shook off his hand, turning my back in shame and anger.
"You...... What nonsense are you talking about! β
No matter how ignorant I am, I know what he just said.
He was a little stunned by my attitude, thinking that I was angry again, and hurriedly ran to me and promised, "Don't be angry, although I am an insignificant person now, I will definitely be able to hold the best in this world in front of you in the future, you believe me." β
Seeing him in such a hurry, I laughed again.
He saw me smiling so happily that he even had a slight smile on his face.
"Okay, I promise you, I'll wait for you to marry me in the future."
A glimmer of bright light flashed in his eyes, and in just a moment, it overshadowed the maple forest fire clouds all over the mountains.
I was in a trance.
When it was getting late, he sent me to the Luoyin Stone Bridge, and he wanted to send me home all the time, but I refused him because it was inconvenient.
He smiled and didn't force it.
As I was leaving, he took out a red maple leaf out of nowhere and put it on my hand.
"I don't have anything to look like, so I can only pick it, and if we forget each other's appearance in the future, use it to recognize each other."
I looked at the thin maple leaf in my hand in a daze, and suddenly pulled off a reddish rope from my head and handed it to him in a panic.
"I'll ...... I'll be waiting for you all the time. I bowed my head, blushed and said this, lifted my skirt and ran.
This run turned out to be ten years of thinking about you and not seeing you.
I have secretly been to that maple forest again, but all that is left is the remnants of the empty glow and the falling maple leaves.
Countless midnight dreams, I always dream of the day I got married.
Phoenix crown wedding dress, ten miles of red makeup, thousands of people send each other, the people celebrate,
At the end of the crowd, he flew in a red robe and looked at me gently.
So, all over the world, there were thousands of clouds in his eyes.
Later, I was really going to get married, but he wasn't the one who was waiting for me in the crowd.
The only thing that accompanied me was a jade box that I was holding tightly.
In the jade box, it was a thin maple leaf that he specially picked for me at sunset in the maple forest that year.
"Shen Qingzhi, I've liked you for so long, but it turns out that this is all a trap set by you......"
You really, really haven't you liked me in the slightest?
I've been waiting for you all my life......
