The girl died.

But it didn't end there.

Although the guest at the inn said that his name was Shi Hua, he was not the girl.

Turned into two autumn cicadas,

Xu Feng and Ah Meng fell outside the window of this girl's house,

Witnessed the death of the girl Shihua.

Between a girl and a teenager, there is no bizarre story of ups and downs,

The process of the girl from illness to death did not turn around.

The girl and the teenager are childhood sweethearts, and they have been together for a hundred years, and their parents are also looking forward to the combination of the two.

There is no one to hinder it, and everyone around me is looking forward to and blessings.

Looking forward to the two getting married, and then giving birth to children, after a hundred years of hand in hand, the children and grandchildren will be full, and then they will meet to go to Huangquan together.

The day before the girl's illness, the girl was still embroidering the wedding dress, while the boy was thinking about taking the child down to the river to fish.

But accidents and illnesses seem to be unaccustomed to such perfect and perfect things, and they show no mercy.

In the house,

The boy hugged the girl who had lost his life in his arms, shouting desperately and helplessly, and his eyes were confused with tears rolling down.

Hearing the boy's desperate cry, the girl's parents also walked in through the door,

Looking at the daughter in the boy's arms, the girl's mother's tears rolled down, and the girl's father paused in silence, then turned around, and his body trembled a little.

“…… God...... Who is it...... Help me...... Help......"

The boy opened his mouth, tears rolling down his mouth, and he cried out in despair.

But no one answered him.

Gradually, the boy stopped shouting, slowly lowered his head, and then looked at the girl in his arms.

"Small Painting ......"

The boy's eyes were even more confused.

In his hope for a lifetime vision, he has never been able to do without the figure of a girl.

But now, those visions are torn apart.

“…… Xiao Cheng ...... We know that you have a deep relationship with Xiaohua...... However, the little painting is gone, you can mourn......"

Beside him, the girl's father, who had turned around for a while, turned back again,

Obviously, he also had red eyes, but he comforted the young man loudly,

It's just that before he finished speaking, his tears flowed out first, and he reached out to cover it,

In the end, as if he had no strength, he trembled, and fell to the ground, leaning against the wall, with tears in his eyes covered by his hands.

“…… Small painting ......"

The boy didn't seem to hear the girl's father's words, but he still looked at the girl lying quietly in his arms, and there was no way to answer him.

The girl's face was pale, and her eyes were closed, as if it weren't for the blood that hadn't dried on the side of her mouth, as if she had fallen asleep.

The boy stretched out his hand and wiped the blood from the corner of the girl's mouth little by little,

Then he suddenly moved in a panic and grabbed the peach he brought next to him.

"Small Paintings...... You see, on the peach tree at the entrance of the village, the peaches are ripe again...... Originally, originally...... That's when we should ...... Married...... Small painting ......"

As he spoke, the young man couldn't stop trembling anymore,

"Xiaohua, come on, take a bite...... Small painting ......"

"Then I'll help you eat...... Small painting ......"

The young man trembled, his hands were still stained with some blood, and he pinched the peach and put it in his mouth.

"Small Paintings...... It's so sweet......"

Talking, I can't stop anymore,

The boy broke down and began to cry, tears rolling down the girl's body.

“…… Small Painting...... Peaches are so sweet...... Small painting ......"

The parents of the girl next to her, one tilted her head and kept crying, and the other fell to the ground, trying to get up several times, but she didn't have the strength to get up again.

Finally, the boy's voice was hoarse as he cried.

The girl's mother said with red eyes again,

"Xiaocheng...... Let me change into clean clothes for the little painting......"

……

"Family, do you want to take one last look? After seeing it, it was buried, and it was difficult to see each other again in this life. ”

"Xiaocheng...... Check it out. ”

In the cemetery outside the village, the grave pit has been dug and the thin wooden coffin containing the maiden has been parked next to it.

The parents of the girl and the parents of the teenager are there.

The boy stood there, looking at the coffin containing the maiden, listening to his father's words,

Then some of them looked at the coffin in a daze, stumbling over, a few steps, but they seemed to be unsteady.

walked to the coffin, and then stood with the coffin in his hands.

Before the coffin board was closed, the boy stood by the coffin, staring at the girl's face.

Everyone else had already seen the girl for the last time, and the boy was still standing there, just looking at the girl in the coffin.

“…… Xiaocheng, okay, let her be buried. ”

The gentleman who came was in the boys' village, and he knew the boys.

Looking at the young man's appearance, he was relieved, patted the young man's hand holding the coffin, and was about to close the coffin board completely.

It's just that at this time, the young man who had been looking at the girl in the coffin in a daze grabbed the board of the coffin one by one.

Hold on to it, and don't let people close it.

“…… Xiaocheng? Ay...... If you'd like to see it, take a look at it......"

The gentleman looked at the young man's appearance, sighed, and got out of the way, and the other people who came to the funeral did not speak, but just waited quietly.

The girl's parents looked at the boy, and their eyes were a little red, and they were about to cry again.

No one stopped the young man, and the young man stood by the coffin for a long time, until the morning sun was completely up.

The boy didn't say a word, lowered his head, retreated to the side, and stood silent.

"Hey...... Seal the coffin. Bury! ”

The sighing gentleman shouted.

The coffin was completely sealed, and the thin wooden coffin containing the maiden was placed in the grave.

The boy raised his head again and kept looking.

The first shovel of soil is dropped, and then the second shovel is ......

The grave pit is gone, and the coffin is no longer visible.

There is no more girl painting in the world, but there is one more tomb bag that has not yet erected a monument.

“…… Xiao Cheng ...... I went back...... We know you remember little paintings......"

The young man was stunned and watched until the funeral was over, and everyone was leaving.

He still stood there, looking at the girl's grave.

The mother of the girl next to her saw the young man like this, and persuaded her.

The young man paused, just squatted down, and grabbed a handful of dirt in front of the girl's grave,

Then he grabbed it tightly in his hand, and the whole person couldn't stop trembling.

He wanted to hear it very much, and there was a voice in the coffin that had just been buried at this moment.

Then he would have to dig up the grave again even with his hands.

"Hey......"

The crowd sighed and left one after another.

I didn't persuade the boy to leave.

The boy's parents stood a little farther away, waiting for the boy, but they didn't come up to persuade him.

The boy at the grave stood, and waited from day till night,

I couldn't hear any movement.

When the sun sets,

The boy raised his head and saw two moths flying by not far away, and kept looking, silent.

The two moths are the incarnations of Xu Feng and Ah Meng,

The two witnessed the funeral.

“…… Let's go. ”

Finally the boy left the grave.

Xu Feng and Ah Meng looked at the young man again, flew out a little further, and suddenly seemed to cross the distance again and changed places.

……

“…… Xiaocheng, your mother and I know that you are deeply in love...... Always a good boy. ”

"I know that you remember small paintings, and I know that you can't put down small paintings...... After all, you two have been growing up since childhood, so long...... If your mother leaves, I don't know what will happen......"

"But the people are gone. Those who are gone have gone far, and those who are still alive still have to live...... Eat something, don't wear yourself out......"

The room was a little dim.

The young man listened to his father's words, came out of the house to the dining table, picked up the chopsticks, but sat in a daze, and did not move the chopsticks for a long time.

The sky outside the house went from dusk to dusk, waiting for the afterglow of the sunset to be completely gone.

The boy's mother lit a dim oil lamp in the house.

The young man's father took a few bites of food, then looked at the young man and persuaded him.

The young man was stunned for a moment, as if he had just heard his father's words, and turned his head, just looking at his father.

“…… Ay...... Your Uncle Shi is such a child, the original idea is to be a son-in-law and a half, and he has watched you grow up since he was a child, and he is similar to his son, after you and Xiaohua become married, they will naturally be honored by them. There is no need to have other children, and your Aunt Shi is not in good health, so there are no other children......"

"Now, Xiaohua is gone, our family and your Uncle Shi's family, there is only one child left, if you also have a broken body, what can you do if you keep your Uncle Shi's family and our two families?"

The boy's father persuaded again.

This time, it seems to have had some effect.

The young man's stunned gaze moved slightly, and then he picked up the bowl,

Not eating, just stuffing the contents of the bowl into your stomach.

“…… Slow down, slow down, don't choke, eat some more ......"

Seeing the teenager eat, the teenager's parents finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“…… I'll give you some of this...... If it's not enough, I'll cook it again. ”

The boy finished eating the contents of the bowl and paused again.

After putting down the dishes and chopsticks, he raised his head and looked at his parents.

"Dad, mother...... I'm going to marry a small painting. ”

The boy just said it very calmly.

“……”

The boy's father frowned, and the boy's mother paused.

“…… Xiaocheng, what nonsense are you talking about? The small paintings have been ......"

As she spoke, the boy's mother's eyes turned red.

The girl's parents watched the boy grow up, and in turn, the boy's father and mother also watched the girl grow up.

Since childhood, he has been much different from his daughter.

"Daddy, I'm going to marry a little painter ......"

The boy just repeated.

"Xiaocheng, my father knows that you are uncomfortable...... But the little painting is gone......"

The boy's mother said again with red eyes.

The boy didn't say anything more, just looked at his father.

The young father, who had been frowning, looked at the young man for a long time,

Just a long sigh of no more.

"You have this friendship...... If you want to marry, you can marry. ”

The young father said with a sigh.

The boy's mother turned her head to look at the boy's father.

After the two looked at each other, the boy's mother also understood.

Sighed too.

"You kid...... Hey......"

"Let's talk to my little painting father."

Marriage to a dead man.

The teenage father and mother should not have agreed.

But the stubborn appearance of the boy these days,

They also have no way to take the young man, and if they go down, the young man will not be able to endure even if he is beaten with iron.

In addition, thinking of the appearance of the girl Shi Hua when she was still alive, the two couldn't help but sigh.

……

“…… Let the old man give you another good life. You're going to be a daughter-in-law. ”

"You have to go to ...... beautifully"

In the carpenter's house in Changping Village, there are more paper figures than usual.

Paper people use bamboo strips as bones, paper as skin, and wear paper clothes.

At this moment, the craftsman is holding an ink-stained pen, taking advantage of the afternoon sunlight through the window outside the house,

Painted a face on the paper figure.

first drew the eyebrows, then the cinnabar dotted the lips, and then gently outlined the outline of the eyes with an ink pen.

Then apply pink delicacy rouge to cover up the original color of the tissue paper face, and in this slightly dim room, there is really the appearance of a girl's skin.

Finally, the craftsman wiped his hands,

I picked up an ink pen again and clicked on the paper man's eyes.

“…… What's the matter, this craft can be said to be amazing. ”

Looking at the outlined face of the paper figure, the craftsman was very satisfied.

Thinking about it carefully, the village gentleman came over and asked the girl to draw a paper figure in the shape of a woman.

Now in comparison, how can there be seven or eight points of similarity.

At this moment, the paper figure who clicked on his eyes, just looking at his eyebrows, eyes and face, was really vivid.

It was obviously the eyes of the ink pen, and when I didn't pay attention, it seemed that I was smiling and looking at the person in front of me.

"Girl...... I'll add some color and pattern to your clothes, but you are a daughter-in-law...... You have to put on a wedding dress. ”

"I'll draw you another mandarin duck."

The craftsman smiled and said, lowered his body a little more, and took the red pen to gently sketch on the paper clothes on the paper man.

The paper figure leaned against the wall, and if he didn't pay attention to it, he really looked like a living person.

……

Xu Feng and Ah Meng are still incarnated as two moths,

Here it is again, and it falls on the beams of the craftsman's house.

Xu Feng glanced at the smiling craftsman who was carefully outlining the patterns of the paper man's clothes,

Then his eyes fell on the face of the paper figure that was somewhat similar to the girl's painting.

The paper man naturally leaned there motionless, with such a shallow smile on his face all the time.

It's like a girl waiting to get married.

“…… Lao Yang, is the paper figure done? ”

At this time,

Someone outside the house shouted in the yard.

The craftsman, who was sketching the ornamentation on the paper garment, paused and looked up at the house.

The man from the courtyard outside the house is the gentleman from the village,

"No...... You have to ask so high here, you want the image of this face, you want the whole look, you have to make all the big joints of this paper figure move, you want the paper figure to be vivid. ”

"It's really embarrassing. Now the face has just been painted. I'm packing up other things, so why don't I need another day or two...... This is really a lot of hard work for the old man, and I feel that the life span of this paper figure will be shortened by several years. ”

"A day or two? Then you have to hurry, the night after tomorrow is a day of great joy. ”

The gentleman spoke up.

"Go, go, what to urge...... If you want to be so delicate and time-convincing, who has that effort...... If it weren't for the stupid boy in the Fan family house in the village who was stunned and stupid, and it was strange to look at it, I wouldn't want to do this job. ”

"Haha...... It's all easy to say, easy to say...... Anyway, old Yang, hurry up......"

"Roll on...... I'll stay up late at night, and I'll be fine tomorrow night......"

The craftsman scolded, but said more.

After watching the gentleman leave, he lowered his head again and carefully traced the ornaments on the paper figure's clothes.

"Alright...... The mandarin duck is finished...... I'll draw your hands, feet, and fingers for you......"

The craftsman raised his head, looked at the paper figure that was already a little vivid, and then spoke to the paper figure.

I continued to work again, making this paper figure.

He did put a lot of thought into this paper figure.

From the bamboo bones at the beginning, to the back of the paper pasting for skin, color and makeup, he has done it very carefully.

The paper man naturally couldn't answer the craftsman's words.

But the eyes that were depicted seemed to be smiling and looking straight ahead.

Xu Feng and Ah Meng fell on the beams of the house and turned into moths,

I saw this paper figure that was vivid, like a living girl, and was gradually born under the hands of the craftsman.

Until the end,

This paper girl in the dim light,

It's like a girl wearing a wedding dress and about to get married, but she can't move.

……

"The bride arrives ...... Auspicious time to ...... Worship the church and get married......"

Night. The courtyard of the boy's house is lit up,

In front of the door, two red lanterns were also hung, and red light was swayed into the courtyard.

In the courtyard, although it is said that it is a big day for a boy and a girl to get married.

But there are very few people who come.

In addition to the fact that he came to help with the two close villagers,

There were only the two families of the boy and the girl, the two beating old men found in the village, and the gentleman who helped to preside over the happy event.

The young man in the bright red dress stood in the courtyard, looking out of the fence of the courtyard, holding half of the unfinished wedding dress in his hand.

The gentleman shouted.

The girl's mother helped the paper bride, who was wearing a paper wedding dress and covered with a red cloth, into the courtyard.

said that it was supporting, but in fact, the girl's mother hugged the paper man and hugged the paper man.

On the feet of the paper man, he also wears mandarin duck paper shoes, which is connected with the paper man.

However, when you are carried forward, your legs and feet can also move, and under the dim red light of the two red lanterns here, it looks like you are being carried around.

The paper figure is completely made in the shape of a girl.

From the body shape to the face.

Even if the paper figure is still covered with a red cloth at the moment,

But the boy stood in the courtyard and watched, his eyes were still a little trance-like.

If the girl is still around, will their wedding be like this...... Maybe it's a little bit more lively.

"The bridegroom picks up the bride......"

The gentleman shouted, waking up the boy,

The boy stepped forward, and when the girl's mother handed the paper figure over, he subconsciously just reached out to lead,

I didn't know that the joints of the paper man's body were a little more broken, but fortunately, the girl's mother reached out and supported it.

"Carry her on your back."

The girl's mother's eyes were still a little red, as if she had just cried, and whispered to the boy.

The boy nodded, but before reaching out and carrying the paper man,

But he put the half of the unembroidered wedding dress in his hand on the paper man.

Even if the paper figure itself has a wedding dress made of paper.

The people next to him saw it, and no one said anything, just sighed.

The girl's mother looked at it, and her eyes turned redder.

The unfinished wedding dress is naturally the one that the girl wore before her death.

Originally, the girl was supposed to wear it to get married, but it was not embroidered in the end.

But the boy had no hope of the girl's wedding dress, which was to be worn at his wedding, so he brought it.

"The auspicious time is here...... Newcomer Chapel! ”

The boy carried the paper bride to the front of the hall, and the gentleman shouted again.

"Worship heaven and earth!"
