Living Paper

nostalgia/article

As soon as the paper door was broken, light came from the outside, Tao Yonghua tore open the paper door vigorously, and suddenly saw it.

She opened her eyes suddenly, she was still lying on her bed, clutching the paper scissors tightly in her hand.

Tao Yonghua felt his mouth was dry and he sat up wanting to drink water, only then remembered that she had spilled the tea, got up and went downstairs to pour water, and saw Su Yin was still in the kitchen at this time.

Su Yin was soaking something, Tao Yonghua's hair stood on end, she calmed down and asked, "Yinyin, why are you up so late?"

Su Yin was startled, the bowl in her hand was broken to the ground, she turned her head to see Tao Yonghua, and twitched the corner of her mouth: "Cousin, are you still awake?"

"I fell asleep and woke up again. I felt thirsty and poured water. Why don't you sleep?"

"I'm soaking bird's nest for my aunt." Su Yin peeked at Tao Yonghua's face, and saw that she was indeed in a bad mood and sweating all over. She was both anxious and relieved. Today is only the second day, and she had a dream for half a month. I have just arrived at Xitang, so just wait patiently.

"Mother Zhou is doing all these things. You don't need to be busy. You can go to bed quickly. You have to go to the street to make new clothes tomorrow."

Tao Yonghua held the cup tightly, what would happen to Su Yin if she found out that the exchange failed?

Tao Yonghua got up early the next morning, and Mrs. Tao was going to take her niece to a department store to buy western clothes: "It's good to see that the cheongsam looks good, but it's fashionable for girls of this age to wear western clothes now, so it's just a matter of time for you to change into some new ones."

Movie stars renew their designs all the time, and there are all kinds of new and beautiful clothes in the pictorials. Mrs. Tao only has one daughter, so of course she is willing to dress her up.

"I have enough clothes to wear, so let's take Yinyin, I have to talk to my classmates about the samples."

Su Yin's intuition is wrong, will my cousin go to Huo Zhenye?She walked to the sofa and sat down, holding Tao Yonghua's arm: "Cousin, the three of us finally went shopping, what a disappointment you are leaving, let's go together."

Tao Yonghua pretended to be embarrassed, she has acted in dramas and is familiar with them: "How about this, I will send the manuscript to my classmate first, let her revise it, and then I will come to you for dinner and buy clothes?"

"Okay, department stores don't open so early."

Seeing that what she said was so true, Su Yin breathed a sigh of relief: "Then my cousin must come."

"Are you afraid that Mom will pick out outdated clothes for you, so you asked me to be your adviser?" Tao Yonghua smiled, but her heart felt cold. She was sure that if the marriage failed, Su Yin would definitely do something else.

She hurried out to Yu Qingli and told Bai Zhun Zhan Shaotang's name, this time it was her turn to write the name on the paper and hand it out.

Bai Zhun took it and glanced at it.

"Miss Tao's cousin has been here for more than half a year, and this Zhan Shaotang should have been dead for a longer time, so why didn't we have a wedding before, but why are we getting married recently?"

Huo Zhenye thought it was weird.

Bai Zhun glanced at him: "Someone is planning a marriage for him."

He was referring to Zhan Shaotang, if there were no relatives in the mortal world to ask someone to arrange the marriage for him, how could he marry a living person as a dead ghost.

Miss Tao immediately understood: "It's a member of Zhan's family, who is doing...?" She thought of asking Mi Posun Xianniang, remembering what happened in that small room, and her fingertips still felt cold.

Except for the members of Zhan's family, no one else has Su Yin's date of birth.

Bai Zhun supported his head, he looked at Tao Yonghua: "Unless someone interrupts the practice."

"Do you want to go to Zhan's family?"

The practitioners are far away in the countryside. Even if they set off now to go to Zhan's house, it will take three or four days to arrive at the fastest, and they have to confront Zhan's house in an unfamiliar place.

No matter how inexperienced Tao Yonghua is, he also knows that the clans in the countryside should not be underestimated. The ghosts who came to have a wedding last night were all Zhan's family, and that area is the territory of Zhan's family.

"There's no need to go to Zhan's house." Bai Zhun tapped on the handrail with his fingertips, the person doing the trick must be not far from the Yin's house, he glanced at Tao Yonghua.

Tao Yonghua immediately gritted his teeth: "Do you want me to dream again?"

Bai Zhun shook his head: "No." Her brows became even darker. That little Sun Xianniang was still beating her villain. Yesterday, she was given a pair of scissors to counteract the evil spirit of the scissors. Another day, she would not be able to hold on.

If she is sick and her luck is even worse, the other party can take her away.

"I'll come." Huo Zhenye said, it's either him or Bai Zhun, this time it's not a female ghost, so I won't want to tear the skin off his back anymore.

"You will hurt people."

Tao Yonghua stared wide-eyed, before the blush appeared on his face, he saw Huo Zhenye put his hands on Bai Zhun's wheelchair, and said to Bai Zhun while leaning over.

"Don't talk nonsense, who am I feeling sorry for, you don't know?" He didn't go, so Bai Zhun went?

Tao Yonghua blinked in confusion, this doesn't sound right.

But Bai Zhun turned his face away: "Now that you have your name, your date of birth will also be left behind."

Tao Yonghua took out a pen to write down the horoscope, clutching her handbag, still a little dazed, she stood up: "Okay, then... thank you, Master."

Axiu handed Tao Yonghua a paper mask, and Bai Zhun told her, "Wear it when you sleep at night."

Tao Yonghua put the mask in her bag, and she didn't cover her mouth until she walked out of Yu Qingli.

No way?They don't mean that!

After Huo Zhenye finished speaking, his ears felt hot. He used to say this kind of thing often, but when he said it seriously, Bai Zhun didn't respond again.

"Come here, lie down." Bai Zhunzhu's wheelchair rolled to Huo Zhenye's wooden bed.

"What?"

"Don't you feel sorry for me?" Bai Zhun said with a half-smile, Huo Zhenye couldn't breathe, so direct?But Bai Zhun was so straightforward, how could he back down.

Huo Zhenye went straight to the bed, he hesitated, lie down now?Gotta undress or do something else.

When he was studying abroad, he heard from his classmates in the dormitory that some young masters didn't understand anything when they went abroad, and they learned everything after staying abroad for half a year. They didn't like foreign women, and there were East Asian girls.

At that time, my British classmate once talked about what it was like to be a man, but he didn't listen carefully. Shouldn't we kiss first?

"Lie down!" Bai Zhun got impatient.

Huo Zhenye immediately lay down, Bai Zhun stretched out his hand, his fingertips scratched Huo Zhenye's neck, Huo Zhenye gasped lightly.

Bai Zhun unbuttoned a button, and seeing that the shirt was full of buttons, he frowned: "Why are there so many buttons?"

Huo Zhenye did it himself, and undressed under Bai Zhun's gaze, which made him react almost instantly. His thigh muscles tightened, and he quickly unbuttoned the light blue shirt.

"Then I'll change into a long shirt next time?" Huo Qishao's voice was muffled, with a bit of uncontrollable joy.

"Next time? What next time?" Bai Zhun's wheelchair rolled away, and then rolled back after a while, holding a celadon plate and a pen in his hand.

Huo Zhenye was stunned, didn't he mean what he thought?

Bai Zhun dipped his brush in cinnabar and gold ink: "It's a long way back, I'll write something on your body."

Huo Zhenye breathed out, and poked the tip of the pen on his body. The tip of the pen was soft, and the pressure was light. He raised his tone again: "You, is your pen a Xuan pen or a Hu pen?"

"Xuan Bi." Bai Zhun wrote another word, Huo Zhenye's chest muscles throbbed, and he stopped writing, "Why? Do you like Hu Bi?"

"It's too soft." It was too soft, and the tip of the pen was stained with ink, like a flexible tongue, licking his body, he couldn't help it.

Seeing Huo Zhenye tightly clenched his fists, Bai Zhun suddenly remembered that he was very ticklish, just about to laugh at him, he glanced at something and stopped.

Huo Zhenye endured desperately, his muscles were tense, but the imagination in his mind was uncontrollable, it just calmed down, and then swelled up again.

Bai Zhun was distracted for a moment, and the tip of the pen landed on the protruding part of Huo Zhenye's chest. Huo Zhenye couldn't bear this kind of stimulation, so he sat up suddenly with a muffled grunt.

Pressing Bai Zhun's hand, he paused every word: "You did it on purpose, didn't you?"

Huo Zhenye's upper body was naked, and he sniffed hotly on Bai Zhun's face. Bai Zhun didn't even turn his head. He looked down at his hand that was being held down: "No."

Bai Zhun's lips, which were always pale, turned a little pale. He held Huo Zhenye down and lay him down on the bed: "Be calm."

Huo Zhenye spent the whole morning panting unbearably, sitting up and lying down constantly.

Bai Zhun finally finished writing, his admiring eyes turned on his chest and abdominal muscles, and he was still quite dissatisfied: "If you didn't keep shaking back and forth, I could write better."

Huo Zhenye walked in front of him with his upper body bare, so that he could see more clearly. The scarlet letters were all over his upper body. He bent down: "Did you intentionally tease me just now?"

Bai Zhun turned around and left.

Huo Zhenye raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, Bai Zhun didn't even refute this teasing sentence.

He didn't even put on his shirt that day, he was afraid that the clothes would wipe away the cinnabar and gold ink, so Bai Zhun could ignore it at first, but this person deliberately swayed in front of him.

Huo Zhenye suffered from a serious illness when he was young. When he recovered, his eldest brother asked the nursing home to teach him boxing and kicking skills. When he went to England, he also learned fencing and equestrian skills.

With clear lines and a muscular body, Bai Zhun has seen a lot, and he is impetuous: "Don't dawdle in front of my eyes."

"Then where can I go?" Sipilai walked back and forth in front of Bai Zhun, asking him if he wanted to drink ice soda?After a while, he asked Bai Zhun to teach him how to make bamboo bones.

Bai Zhun snorted, took out a piece of yellow paper, sat in front of the desk, and drew carefully.

Huo Zhenye leaned over to look, thick eyebrows and round eyes, he drew a face of Miss Tao?What do these mean?

Then tie the bamboo bone again, put this piece of paper on the bamboo bone, and finally turn it over and write the birth date.

"You want me to wear this paper mask and trick Zhan Shaotang into picking me up?"

Bai Zhun nodded, Huo Zhenye turned over the mask: "This thing, can it really fool Zhan Shaotang?"

Miss Tao's frame is smaller than that of a man's, and her face is of course smaller. This mask is completely made according to her face, and it can't cover Huo Zhenye's entire face.

"You'll know tonight."

At night, Bai Zhun pasted a yellow talisman inside the paper mask, and the paper mask hung limply on his hand.

He smeared Miss Tao's face on Huo Zhenye: "Look around, someone must open the altar to do something. If you see something related to Miss Tao, just destroy it."

Huo Zhenye was lying on the bed covered with paper, his eyes were about to close when he heard Bai Zhun whisper in his ear: "I will guard you."

As soon as he let out a chuckle, he fell asleep.

Opening his eyes, he was in the sedan chair, and the paper man outside was carrying him, and the paper matchmaker kept urging him: "It's getting late, hurry up and take the bride to the church."

The paper-wrapped bearers yelled "Ouch!" "Why is today's bride so much heavier than yesterday's bride?"

Huo Zhenye lifted the curtain and saw graves everywhere. The paper sedan chair carried him to a grave. The gate of the private house was torn off by Miss Tao, and the sedan chair directly carried him in.

The hall was full of guests yesterday, but only half of them came today.

The groom was still dressed in black silk with big red flowers on his chest, but he was blind in one eye.

Huo Zhenye strode into the wedding hall. Zhan Shaotang stretched out his hand to pinch his neck, but Huo Zhenye punched him blindly in the eye: "Say, who is marrying you?"

When Zhan Shaotang heard a man's voice from "Miss Tao", he shrank in fright. He didn't dare to marry a man back: "I, my grandma."

"The one who did the trick... Who is the matchmaker?" Huo Zhenye changed the phrase.

He dragged Zhan Shaotang all the way out of the wedding shed, and Zhan Shaotang brought him to a wooden platform. On the wooden platform was a piece of red wax and a piece of white wax, several plates of fruit offerings, and a man, two women, and three dolls.

The male puppet is Zhan Shaotang, and the female puppet is Tao Yonghua and Su Yin.

The faces of the three puppets are lifelike, and a red thread connects the three of them. Zhan Shaotang has no intention of changing marriages at all. He plans to marry Tao Yonghua first and then Su Yin.

There is a pair of old hands, holding a wooden tablet, tracing the name on the tablet stroke by stroke, and after tracing it, burn a few ghost coins into the brazier.

"My granddaughter-in-law, have you entered?"

Huo Zhenye let out a laugh, and threw Tao Yonghua's doll into the brazier.

The author has something to say: Bai: I’m just teasing you

Huo: I can't bear to tease me like this again
