“…… Husband and wife worship each other! ”

Under the blurred glow of two red lanterns.

The girl's mother followed up again, supporting the paper man in the wedding dress,

Let the vivid and vivid paper bride make various actions in turn.

Some of the closer relatives and friends who came next to them sat at the table next to them, looking at this scene and sighing.

The boy's parents and the girl's father looked at the boy and the paper bride worshipping the church, and their eyes were a little trance.

In the dim red light here, from a distance, the paper figure that was being lifted and supported and kept making movements really looked like a living person.

It's like a girl who puts on a red cloth and marries her beloved.

It seems that people forget the sad things before and see the long-awaited scene.

In the trance-like gaze, there were some gratifying smiles on his face,

But he soon came back to his senses...... Looking at the bride who was just a paper figure, her eyes were either dim or red.

“…… Sent to the cave room. ”

After the last bow, the young man straightened up and stood stunned looking at the paper bride in front of him.

The girl's mother, who was holding the paper figure, raised her hand and wiped her reddened eyes.

So he hugged the paper man and went to the house.

The boy stood still, his eyes following and unwilling to move away.

It seems that his small paintings are seen again.

It wasn't until the figure of the paper man in the wedding dress was blocked by the wall that the young man paused again.

Stand still and keep your head down.

“…… Fan Cheng, today is a day of great joy for you and the daughter of the Shi family, haven't you been looking forward to this day? What are you doing standing here stupidly, be happy, and go toast to the guests. ”

Finally, the gentleman who came over, looked at the appearance of the young man, sighed slightly, and then said out loud.

"Hmm...... Today is a day of great joy for me and Xiaohua...... Xiaohua and I finally got married. ”

The young man's lowered head lifted up little by little, and some smiles squeezed out of his face,

“…… Thank you relatives and friends for coming to my marriage with Xiaohua, I respect everyone ......"

With a smile on his face, he stumbled a little, and the boy toasted from guest to guest.

“…… Xiaocheng, drink less alcohol...... Be happy. ”

The people who came, except for the parents of teenagers and girls, were really close relatives and friends.

looked at the young man's appearance, and also persuaded him.

"Well, I'm happy...... Xiaohua and I finally got married......"

……

In the house, the young girl's mother, who was about to enter the house with her paper bride in her arms,

Before pushing the furnished room, he looked back at the paper figure covered with a red cloth.

"It's true...... It's like ......."

After two sentences, the girl's mother turned red again,

"Girl, Xiaohua, you and Xiaocheng are finally married, you are happy, Xiaohua ......"

Tears can't stop dripping down,

"You see that you embroidered this wedding dress, Xiaocheng didn't forget it for you, and put it on for you......"

"Small Paintings...... Did you see it, Xiaohua, you and Xiaocheng are married...... In the future, you will be Xiaocheng's wife...... Remember to come back to see your mother and your father more often......"

Reaching out to the unfinished wedding dress worn by the paper bride, the tears of the girl's mother couldn't stop falling,

just chattered, as if it was for the paper man, as if it was for her daughter.

"Since you were a child, you have been worried about your brother Fan, and you have been thinking about wearing this wedding dress to marry him, and now you are finally married...... Don't have a husband, forget about your mother and father......"

It's like really chattering about the married girl,

Just talking and talking, I can't talk anymore, but tears are falling down,

“…… Small Painting...... You and Xiaocheng are also married...... Xiaocheng is also a person with deep friendship, you will bless him to live his life well in the future...... Don't let him worry about you all the time......"

After saying this, the girl's mother took care of the wedding dress on the paper bride again,

He pushed open the door, helped the paper bride in, and sat on the bed.

It's just that the paper man naturally can't sit steadily, so she can only lean on the head of the bed.

The girl's mother looked at the paper figure that looked like her daughter, her eyes were red and red, and finally she got up to leave the house.

"Girl...... Mother is gone...... Girl......"

"...... Uproar"

The door opened, and a gust of wind broke in,

The paper man who was sitting at the head of the bed and the red cloth covered by the paper man shook slightly.

"Girl...... Are you back? Xiaohua, are you back? ”

The girl's mother first paused, and then turned her head to shout with some excitement, but naturally no one responded, and no one outside the house heard her.

Hurriedly turned her head a few times, the wind had stopped, and the girl's mother was a little silent.

Then he left the room in silence, his eyes still red.

……

The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.

At some special weddings, some of the guests who came didn't eat much.

At this time, the chopsticks have been put down one after another.

"Lao Fan, Lao Shi, let's go first...... Xiaocheng, be happy...... Some things just go with the flow......"

A few relatives and friends who came looked at the girl's parents, and after looking at the teenager again, they got up one after another to say goodbye.

"Eh, you guys go slowly."

did not stay, nodding, the young father responded,

After sending some of the guests to the side of the courtyard, they stopped,

After seeing that the guests had all gone away, he turned around and walked back.

Raising his head, the young father looked at his son.

The young man at this time, I don't know if he was smoked by wine, or if his eyes were already red,

With red eyes, standing at the dining table, still wearing the red clothes, his head bowed, and he was stunned.

"Xiaocheng ......"

The boy's father called out to him.

After a pause, the boy slowly raised his head and looked at his father in a daze.

The young father looked at the young man and didn't know what to say.

After a pause, he turned around and went to help the young mother clean up the leftovers on the table.

“…… Xiaocheng. ”

At this time, the gentleman who had presided over the girl's funeral and the wedding came over.

"You have married Xiaohua, which can be regarded as the wish of the two of you, I believe Xiaohua will be happy below."

"But dust to dust, dust to dust. In the future, you can let Xiaohua go with peace of mind. You also live a good life, don't let the small painting worry about you below. ”

"The two of you are also married, there is really fate, and you may be able to continue your fate in the next life."

The gentleman said aloud as he comforted the boy.

The boy turned his head, looked at the gentleman again, and remained silent.

"Xiaocheng, Xiaohua is gone after all. We know that you have a deep relationship with Xiaohua, but you still have days to live in the future...... Let's just let the little painting go well......"

“…… I'm going back to the house. The little painting is still waiting for me. ”

The boy finally just said something like this, and went into the house with his head bowed.

The pace is getting faster and faster, as if he is afraid that his husband or his father and mother will stop him and say something to him.

"Hey......"

The gentleman looked at the young man's appearance, but he could only sigh again and did not speak again.

Next to him, the girl's father and mother, and the teenager's parents cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and then walked towards Mr.

"Thank you, Mr. Yue, for coming over and helping."

"Don't thank me, everyone in the village knows about Xiaocheng and Xiaohua...... I also think it's a pity...... It's just that things don't fulfill people's wishes, and people can only live a good life in the future. ”

The gentleman shook his head, and said again to the parents of the young girl,

"I came here to help this kid, but I was obsessed, but looking at him like this, I still couldn't let go...... In the future, you should persuade him more and let him live well. ”

"Should you marry a daughter-in-law or marry a daughter-in-law, should you live or live. I don't think I care so much about the small painting at the bottom. It's really not good, find more things to keep him busy, and he won't keep thinking about other things when he's busy with other things. ”

"Hmmm......"

The two pairs of parents just listened to Mr. and nodded in response,

And no one said anything more.

In the end, the gentleman also left, and the yard became quieter.

On the edge of the yard, under the two red lanterns hanging, there seemed to be two moths that had been coiling along the red light,

It seemed to flutter its wings and fly into the house, and then through the crack in the door, into the new house of the couple.

……

Xu Feng and Ah Meng witnessed the whole process of the wedding,

The two moths that had been incarnated landed on the beams of the house.

Xu Feng turned his gaze and glanced at the room that was quite festively furnished,

Then he looked at the young man beside the bed below, and the paper bride who was barely sitting on the bed.

The red cloth covered by the paper bride had not yet been revealed, and she was still wearing the unembroidered wedding dress.

The young Fan Cheng squatted on the side of the bed, looking at the paper figure, his eyes were in a trance and his eyes were red.

"Small Paintings...... I've lifted your head. ”

The young man's voice was a little hoarse, and he stretched out his trembling hand and untied the hijab on the paper man's head.

The hijab fell, revealing the vivid and vivid face of a girl.

With a smile on his face, with a slight shyness, but he always looked in front of him,

It's really like a married girl, facing the husband who uncovered the cloth,

Full of joy and a little shy, she wanted to avoid her gaze, but she didn't want to leave her husband for a moment.

The young man who lifted the hijab was stunned, as if he had seen his little painting again,

I saw the girl's face again.

Like countless times, when the girl came to his house with her father,

When he heard the movement and hurriedly ran out of the house, he saw the appearance of a young girl.

It's like the appearance of the girl when he ran to the girl's house countless times, and the girl heard him shouting and hurriedly ran out.

It's like at this moment, he just climbed the peach tree at the entrance of Peach Village, and after picking a peach, he turned around and looked at the girl with clothes in her pocket looking up at him and smiling,

It's like he and the little painting are frolicking by the stream, and he turns around to look at the little painting, and the little painting has some droplets of water all over his face, and he is smiling at him.

"Small Painting ......"

Today is the day when he and Xiaohua got married,

He had thought about it countless times.

This is the day of great joy, and this is the happiest time of his life.

He looked at the little painting and wanted to laugh,

A smile squeezed out of his mouth, but tears welled up in his eyes first.

In the hazy tears, the young man saw clearly that the bride in front of him was just a paper figure.

"Small Paintings...... I miss you so much, little painting ......"

"Small Paintings...... I dreamed of you last night...... I really, really miss you......"

Holding the paper figure, the young man buried his head, trembling all over, and tears flowed all over his face.

At last......

until I lost my strength to cry.

The young man hugged the paper man who had not faded the unembroidered wedding dress and fell asleep.

All night, he never let go of his hand.

……

"Xiaocheng ......"

Inside, it's dusk and sunset.

There was no oil lamp, and the afterglow of the setting sun reflected in the house.

The teenager's family had dinner.

After a few bites, the boy put down his bowl.

I took the dishes and chopsticks again, sandwiched some food, and was about to go back to the house.

This is already some time after the boy and the girl got married, but the festive decorations in the house, the red letters pasted on it have not been torn off.

The young man's mother sat at the dining table, looked at the young man's appearance, got up, and called out to the young man,

"Mother, what's wrong?"

The boy turned his head and answered his mother.

The mother looked at the boy, and then at the bowl of food that the boy was holding in his hand.

“…… Your Uncle Shi's house is about to start planting rice, do you want to follow...... Forget it, I'll just go with your father. ”

In the end, the boy's mother didn't say anything, but just said so.

"Hmmm......"

The boy answered, and was about to go back to the house.

walked to the door of the house, stretched out his hand to sort out the door of the house, and took off a corner of the word "happy",

And then turned back to it,

"Mother, I'll follow you to help."

"yes, okay."

When the young mother heard this, a smile appeared on her face.

The boy paused again, and then went into the house with the food.

……

“…… Little painting, you can eat something. ”

In the house, the boy was talking to the paper bride in a wedding dress as if he had been a young girl.

“…… I'll leave these meals here, and you can eat them yourself. ”

“…… Xiaohua, our father's mother's house is going to plant again this year, tomorrow I will go to help, I will not be at home, you are good at home, I will come back in the evening. ”

The boy was talking to the paper figure in the house.

Only through the door of the house, the young man's parents put down the dishes and chopsticks, and gathered outside the door to listen secretly,

They looked at each other, their faces worried.

It's not the first time.,After marrying a girl.,The boy seems to be even more unable to accept the girl's absence.,

It's like a demon, like a girl to the paper bride,

Talking, bringing her food, and even taking her out to the door to watch the sunrise and sunset.

At this time,

The room was suddenly quiet again.

The teenager's parents couldn't hear the sound, and they were a little worried, so they hurriedly came closer.

Finally, some more young boys' voices rang out.

“…… Small Painting...... I know you're no longer there. ”

"But don't worry...... Although you are gone, my father and mother will still help you take care of it. ”

It turned out that although he was a little stunned, the boy actually knew everything.

He was just willing, and he said to the paper man what he wanted to say to the girl Shi Hua, and regarded the girl Shi Hua as if she was still alive and accompanied by him.

Outside the door, the teenager's parents listened to the teenager's voice, a little silent,

Then he left cautiously.

In this room,

Xu Feng and Ah Meng turned into two moths, still on the beams of this house,

Xu Feng glanced at the closed door, and then looked at the paper bride sitting at the head of the bed.

The paper bride is still the same as always, her face is vivid, like a living person, and she has been smiling shallowly and shyly, looking in front of her.

It's just that after so long, the makeup on the paper man's face and the facial features outlined by the ink have never faded.

The skin made of paper on the body has not been damaged for so long, but at the edges, a little bit of human skin color can be seen.

After staring at it for a long time, the paper man's seemingly unchanged expression seemed to have changed slightly, sometimes with a little confusion in his smile, and sometimes with a little worry in his smile.

“…… Small painting ......"

In front of the paper man, the boy was still treating the paper man as a girl, and kept talking.

Xu Feng glanced at the paper bride for a long time, and then flew forward with Ah Meng,

It's like crossing a long distance.

……

“…… Little painting, I'm back. Do you see what I brought back to you? ”

"Peach...... You used to be a peach at the mouth of the village. Peaches in Peach Village. ”

"It's all ripe, and it's almost finished, so I climbed to the top of the tip to pick one...... You eat it. ”

"Then I'll eat first...... Xiaohua, don't worry, our father's land has been almost planted today, and it should be finished tomorrow, and I should be able to come back early tomorrow at noon......"

"Xiaohua, this peach is so sweet, you can eat it too."

"Hmm...... Little painting, I'll help you taste it too...... Very sweet......"

……

"Little painting, I'm back...... Today, my father-in-law's fields have been busy, and our own family has also finished planting. I'll be with you for the next few days. ”

"Ahem...... It's okay, I'm just a little cold. ”

"Small Paintings...... Why do you seem to be a little worried about me? I'm fine...... Haha......"

"Little painting, I'll take you to the stream to catch fish tomorrow......"

"Hmm...... You've always wanted me to take you again, do you remember, the first time we went to the stream to catch fish...... You've been bitten by a crab and you don't know how to cry out in pain......"

……

“…… Ahem. It's all right...... We still go to the stream to catch fish and crabs. ”

After the girl's death, the boy's body finally collapsed.

Although there is a paper bride to express her sorrow, the young man who knows everything in his heart looks at the paper man who is somewhat similar to the girl, but he is more sad.

Finally, the grief became ill, and the boy was still sick.

I was sick in the house for several days, and I couldn't fulfill my promise to the paper people.

Just a little better, the boy carried the paper figure to the stream again.

And in the eyes of Xu Feng and A Meng,

This young man is talking at any time, and the paper bride who accompanies him at any time, and then the young man continues to pour out fiery emotions and the strongest will,

These days, it's getting more and more wrong.

The makeup on the paper man's face is still as good as ever, and it has never faded.

And the slightly changed expression on the paper man's face became clearer and clearer.

She would worry about the boy's body, and she would rejoice in the boy's words to her.

Even sometimes the boy himself can notice the change in the expression of the paper man,

But never cared.

The boy just looked at the paper figure and said that he wanted to say something to the girl.

At the last moment, the girl told him that he wanted to come to the stream again to catch fish and crabs, and he brought this paper man with him.

"Xiaohua, you sit here first, I'll go and stop the water, and then catch crabs, catch fish......"

The boy's face was a little pale, and his lips were chapped and bloodless.

Place the paper figure by the stream near the water, and let the paper figure sit down against the stone.

So he took the basket and went into the stream.
