At last there were strips of black juice coming out of his mouth, and the paper-binding man dipped his hand in the juice until it was covered with rattan.

At this scene, Yu Lan frowned as he watched from the sidelines, and Yu Lan asked me in a low voice: "He, doesn't he feel salty?" ”

I shook my head and replied in a low voice, "Each family has its own method, and it's normal not to understand it. ”

"Today, together with your birthday paper, I will return it to you, and I will never see you again!" The papermaker roared under his breath.

"Bang!" A crack of rattan wind came to my ears, and the rattan in the hand of the papermaker fell, and the head of the paper man ran away like a leather ball.

The paper man's head was knocked off, and there was no blood, but a stubble of blue-yellow bamboo strips exposed at the neck.

The moment the rattan in the papermaker's hand fell, it put an end to this frightening absurdity, and I don't know why, the moment I saw the paper figure being destroyed, my heart seemed to be slammed by something.

And the joints on the papermaker's hands have been pinched white by him, and they are constantly trembling. I think, with his character, the pain he has suffered at this moment should be the greatest.

Silence or silence. After being silent for a while, the papermaker slowly clamped the rattan under his armpit, squatted down, and slowly picked up the paper figure on the ground with both hands, hugged it in his arms, and cried bitterly until he couldn't extricate himself.

After a long time, the papermaker lowered his head, took one last look at the paper man's head, and threw it into the fire without hesitation, and the not so fierce flame quickly turned the paper man's head into a pile of ashes, which drifted away with the wind.

The papermaker wiped his face a few times vigorously, and said, "Don't worry, the dust has settled." ”

After a pause, the papermaker continued: "I didn't expect him to run out and eat the food of the world. When the paper man eats the grains, he becomes a 'spirit'. It makes sense that I have already disposed of him today, otherwise it will become a big disaster in the future. ”

Xuanhu looked at the papermaker and handed the bamboo pole to me, and just when I didn't know why, Xuanhu's body had slowly bent down.

"I've always been suspicious of you, it's me who is wrong, Poor Dao is here to apologize to you!" Xuanhu said that his body had bent to ninety degrees.

The papermaker was stunned by Xuanhu's bow, and then quickly helped Xuanhu up, and said: "Since ancient times, monks don't bend down, don't be like this, I can't stand it." ”

Xuanhu looked at the papermaker and said quite emotionally: "I am such an apprentice, I have no other choice but to protect." ”

The papermaker nodded: "Needless to say, I can understand." ”

Xuanhu looked at the papermaker's somewhat indifferent face and said, "I hope you can accept my apology." ”

The papermaker raised his face and showed an elusive expression: "You love your child, why don't I feel sorry for my own child?" ”

Xuanhu was a little speechless, and he didn't know how to respond to the papermaker's words.

After a while, the papermaker said slowly: "You don't have to apologize to me, I can be regarded as a fulfillment for myself." ”

Xuanhu gritted his teeth and said firmly: "You and I are standing to pee, and you don't need to hide when you speak." I owe you my life by exchanging your child for my own child! From today onwards, my life is yours, and you can take it at any time! ”

Obviously, this sentence had a lot of shock on the papermaker, stared at Xuanhu, and said slowly: "I, what do I want your life to do?" ”

"I owe you, and I pay it back." Xuanhu said lightly: "You help me, it is you who are generous, I am grateful." But I don't like to owe people anything in my life. ”

After a pause, Xuanhu added: "Don't refuse, if you say it, splash the water, this matter is settled." ”

The papermaker pursed his lips vigorously and said seriously, "I'm still tying a paper figure." ”

"For him." As he spoke, the papermaker pointed his finger at me.

Xuanhu nodded gratefully: "This is all an afterthought, you have worked hard tonight." ”

As he spoke, Xuanhu pointed back with his big hand: "I have some rough wine in the house, if you don't dislike it, can we sit down and drink a few big bowls?" ”

As soon as he heard that there was wine, the papermaker looked at Xuanhu's room, a trace of hesitation appeared in his eyes, and he said, "That, thank you." ”

"Please!" Xuanhu's body flashed back, and he made a gesture of invitation in his hand, and the papermaker was not polite, and took the lead into Xuanhu's room......
