Living Paper

nostalgia/article

The paper bag fell to the ground and overturned, and the candies and chocolates in the bag rolled all over the floor.

The leather shoes rubbed against the green bricks, kicking out the candy all over the floor, the liqueur chocolates were trampled by the soles of the shoes, the tinfoil icing burst out of the dark red wine syrup, and splashed on the bricks and stones like blood traces.

Huo Zhenye rushed into the inner room first, and the tables and cabinets in the inner room were all empty.

The beams of the house used to be covered with paper lanterns and wind chimes, but now there is not even a spider thread left.

Bai Zhun doesn't sell this, he makes these for fun.

The white rabbit lanterns are arranged in a row like nesting dolls from small to large, and the paper flower and wind chimes are also from small to large.

Huo Zhenye saw that he liked it and gave him one, made in Japan, with a group of hydrangeas painted on the transparent glass the size of a fist, and the sound was clear and clear.

Bai Zhun just glanced at it and then said disgustedly: "Petty."

Like a palace lantern, he made a five-story pagoda bell with chains, with bamboo as the bone and paper as the painting. The paper is as light-transmitting as thin horns.

When the copper bell is hung, it will ring in layers when the wind blows. It is the emblem feather of Gongshangjiao, and the five tones form their own music.

On the day when the wind chimes were finished, Bai Zhun assigned Axiu to hang up both wind chimes, the big one on the beam of the house and the small one under the window sill.

Sitting on a bamboo wheelchair, he looked at two wind chimes, one big and one small, and raised his eyebrows and asked Huo Zhenye: "How is it? Only this can be called a bell, and the mosquito dares to call a bell even if it hums?"

Huo Zhenye couldn't help laughing: "Yes, our Bai Qiye is of course the most powerful."

At this time, the beams of the house were empty, leaving only the glass wind chime in front of the window.

He ran to the bedroom again, leaving the spring bed alone in the room, with all his things on the bed, the suit coat and the velvet nightgown.

As long as he gave the refrigerator and phonograph, Bai Zhun would not take any of it away.

Did you want to break up with him by going so thoroughly?Even if it's over, just drive him away, why leave without saying goodbye, why hide like a plague god.

Huo Zhenye walked slowly to the courtyard, sat on the steps, the sky was glowing with twilight, and the white walls of the courtyard were also stained with rosy clouds, when suddenly two chirps were heard.

Huo Zhenye raised his head and saw two bird cages hanging in the courtyard.

White waist vermilion top, red beak blue magpie, he didn't even take the birds away.

"The two of you are still here." Huo Zhenye stood up, his feet seemed to be dragged by a thousand pounds, and when he walked to the side of the birdcage, Bai Zhun really walked completely.

He wanted to let the two birds go, but Ajiu was gone, so what's the use of keeping it as a wife and a concubine?

Opening the cage, the white waist and vermilion crown fluttered its wings and remained motionless.

The red-billed blue magpie tentatively flew out of the cage, first flew around the courtyard twice, then jumped onto the eaves and flew into the sunset.

"Why, you're not leaving?" Huo Zhenye asked the bird hoarsely.

Zhu Ding chirped twice, but still didn't move, Huo Zhenye closed the cage: "That's fine, you stay with me."

Even a bird has more conscience than Bai Zhun!

He closed the birdcage, glanced away, and saw the pot of paper tied flowers on the stone table by the wall, which he gave to Bai Zhun after a long time.

Bai Zhun didn't even take this with him.

Huo Zhenye didn't take another look. It turned out that he had figured it out so clearly from the beginning to the end, so what was it last night?Give him a final memorial?

He still remembered how Bai Zhun trembled in his arms, how happy he was, his back was straightened, although his two calves couldn't move, his arms were holding him.

It's both intimacy and fighting, at that moment, how could Huo Zhenye let it go, not to mention he obviously wanted it too.

Both of them have no experience, except for the first time, they are still jerky, and every time when he is emotional, they go to the extreme.

Bai Zhun kisses and bites when he is happy, and bites when he is in pain.

The small fangs bit his jaw so that his chin was covered with teeth marks, and his back was streaked with red and purple, as if he had been scratched by a cat.

After being so delighted, he actually patted his ass and ran away!Huo Zhenye couldn't help but think, last night was not enough, he shouldn't have just let him go because of his coquettishness.

It should make him unable to run even if he wants to!

While thinking wildly, Huo Zhenye returned to the house, threw himself on the spring bed, and lay on his back.

There was still a faint scent of paper bamboo in the room, and with his eyes closed, it seemed as if Bai Zhun hadn't left yet.

He fell asleep as soon as he closed it, and slept until midnight, when thunder rumbled in the sky.

"哗啦" There was a sound of lightning breaking through the air, and it began to rain in an instant. Huo Zhenye sat up and ran into the courtyard, holding the birdcage in one hand and the bonsai in the other.

Carrying these two things back into the house, Zhu Ding's hair was wet from the rain, Huo Zhenye took it out of the cage and dried it on a towel.

The paper bonsai is full of water, and when it rains, the paper flowers will be soaked.

Huo Zhenye fell down and wanted to sleep again, sat up again, and scraped away the soil under the bonsai with his hands. This soil was real soil, with moss growing on it, and when he picked up the paper roots, he grabbed the soil and laughed.

Huo Zhenye sat down on the ground, holding his forehead with his hands, and he didn't care about the wet mud on his forehead.

He couldn't restrain himself, he laughed louder and louder, Zhu Ding was startled by the laughter, flapped his wings and flew to the beam, tilting his head to look at him.

There are no words on the roots of the tree.

The pot he gave to Bai Zhun had been tampered with on the root of the tree, with his name engraved on one side and Bai Zhun's name on the other, so it couldn't be seen even if it was covered with soil.

And on this pot, there is no lettering.

This pot was faked by Bai Zhun, he made an identical pot out of paper, so that Huo Zhenye would think that he didn't take anything with him.

Huo Zhenye cheered himself up from his discouragement, imagining Bai Zhun frowning while despising his poor workmanship, he couldn't help laughing again.

After washing off the mud, he lay back on the bed, let Bai Zhun be proud all night, and brought him back tomorrow.

Bai Zhun moved to a bamboo house outside the city. When it rained at night, he set up a brazier to warm himself up. A room full of paper figurines were far away from the fire, all staring at him blankly.

Of course, this bamboo house is not as comfortable as the small building of Bai's house. Things are piled up in a mess on the side, and the jars are dusty in the corner, and there is no room to roll around.

The paper people can't stand up, they all live in the box, and they come out in turn to get some fresh air. It's not like being at home. They can play hide-and-seek while the owner is away.

Bai Zhun flicked the firewood with a bamboo stick, the little squirrel flew to his shoulder, pecked him lightly with its beak, as if asking him why Huo Zhenye was not here.

"That person made my ears hurt." Bai Zhun pulled the firewood, and the dry burning firewood made a soft "cracking" sound, indicating that Bai Zhun was hungry.

He wants to eat instant mutton.

I should have brought the copper pot, but even if I brought the pot, there was no mutton.

Axiu rummaged through the box, took out the biscuit tin, opened the lid and put it in front of Bai Zhun.

"Why did you bring this thing?" Of course it was bought by that dandy, "Didn't you say that as long as it is his thing, you don't want it?"

Axiu couldn't speak, but she pointed to Bai Zhun's stomach.

Bai Zhun reached out and took a piece. The milk-flavored cookies were still very crispy. It would be great if there was milk tea to go with them.

When he thought of milk tea, he thought of Huo Zhenye again, and felt even more depressed. He threw the biscuit bucket aside, rolled the bamboo wheelchair to the window, and looked out at the dark night and continuous rain.

Bai Zhun likes rain very much. Although his paper tie is afraid of water, he loves to listen to the sound of rain. When it rains, he does nothing, sits in front of the patio and looks at the damp sky.

The raindrops fell into the small pool in the courtyard, and bubbles bulged out.

But no matter how he heard the rain today, he couldn't calm down. What is that man doing now?Will he look for him?

Bai Zhun coughed suddenly, he covered his mouth with his sleeve, Axiu wrapped him in a fur coat, and asked him with gestures if he wanted some hot tea.

Bai Zhun shook his head: "I don't need you." He was afraid that sparks would splash on her and burn her.

He pulled the bamboo curtain to block the sound of the rain, turned the big part of his palm to the end, and simply lay down on the bamboo bed, no matter how uncomfortable it was to lie on, it was covered with such a thick mattress, why was it still not as soft as the spring bed Woolen cloth?

Can't help but feel angry, he is going to die, why can't he live a better life, he has to hide out of the city to hide from that dude!

Huo Zhenye knew that Bai Zhun had him in his heart, so he slept comfortably, got up to shave and comb his hair, put on a new suit, and went out to inquire about news.

He originally thought that Bai Zhun didn't want him anymore, so he was depressed. Now that he knew that Bai Zhun had him in his heart, he naturally wanted to find him.

Huo Zhenye went to the smoke hotel: "Boss, whose car did you call to move things in the small building of the Bai family yesterday?"

The little owner of the Tobacco Hotel thought he was here to collect the deposit, and the Bai family moved away, so there was no need to buy these snacks and candies every day, and the two big bills were still with him.

Unexpectedly, Huo Zhenye didn't mention the money at all, and the little boss immediately said: "It's Chen San's hired car, there are several cars, where is Mr. Bai moving to?"

"Move to the concession."

The little boss was very sorry, he lost a big customer, but Yu Qingli's house was burnt down, and everyone with a little extra money had to move out.

It would be better if the choking black smoke was poured out by the rain, but there would definitely be a house built on the original site, and it would be dirty and messy, so we still had to move it.

"The old neighbors are going to leave." The little boss wiped the counter and sighed. When he raised his head, Mr. Huo had already been blown away like a gust of wind. Not long after, he came back like a gust of wind.

"Give me another bag of candies." Huo Zhenye's face was very bad, he asked Chen San, Chen San said that Bai Zhun and Axiu got out of the car when they reached the gate of the city, and there was a cart full of things, all put them down on the spot, Chen San returned I've advised you, but there are no cars there.

Bai Zhun must have asked the paper figurine to pull the cart and carry things.

This is good news, he is not far away, but it is also bad news, he hides in the city and there is still a place to find, buying and renting houses must be registered, and living in the countryside, there is no way to find him.

As soon as Huo Zhenye finished speaking, the little boss quickly picked out the expensive ones, fudge bonbons, and cream pastries, and filled a bag with them.

Huo Zhenye went to Wu's house with a paper bag, Xiaoyan sat on a small bench, with a high chair in front of her, which was used as a desk, and seriously wrote in the corridor.

Hearing the sound of leather shoes, he stretched his head: "Mr. Huo!"

Huo Zhenye smiled and took out a handful of candy to her: "Yesterday, your sister Axiu didn't have time to say goodbye to you, so she asked me to buy some candy for you."

Xiaoyan blinked, and she understood: "Did Mr. Bai not tell you about the move?"

Hey, this kid is smarter than adults.

"Did you guys quarrel?" Xiaoyan took the milk candy, peeled one and put it in her mouth.

"Yes, we had a quarrel. I want to ask him to apologize, but he has already moved away." Huo Zhenye put the whole bag of candy on Xiaoyan's stool,

"Do you miss Sister Axiu? I apologize, and he will come back."

Of course Xiaoyan thought about it, and after only being separated for a day, she missed Axiu very much. This morning she was still staring at the door of Bai's house, hoping that Axiu would come out from inside.

She rummaged through her schoolbag and found a letter from it. This letter was written by Axiu, but not for Huo Zhenye. Axiu asked her little friend to give the letter to Xu Yanwen.

"I'll give it to him." Huo Zhenye stretched out his hand.

Xiaoyan didn't hand over the letter to him, it was entrusted to her by Axiu, so she wouldn't just hand it over to others.

"Then I'll take you to him, that's okay." Huo Zhenye has a lot of experience in dealing with women. His older sisters, sisters, and aunts and old ladies, as long as they are women, no matter they are seven years old or seventy, they are all hard to deal with.

Only then did Xiaoyan nod her head. She finished writing the last line and followed Huo Zhenye to the entrance of the alley. She suddenly asked, "Are you talking about friends with Axiu's brother?"

Huo Zhenye was almost choked, he looked down at Xiaoyan, Xiaoyan's big black and white eyes stared at him, full of curiosity: "Axiu said, you are talking about friends."

Axiu even understood this.

Huo Zhenye thought about it, he and Bai Zhun were at home, and sometimes they really didn't behave very well, so it was normal for Axiu to see them.

But he didn't know how to tell Xiaoyan that she was too precocious.

"I also know that Axiu is talking about friends with Dr. Xu, but Brother Bai disagrees." The little man, with so many things on his mind, "Why don't you agree? I think Dr. Xu likes Axiu very much, and Axiu also likes her." like him."

"Children, don't ask so many questions." Huo Zhenye was a little thankful that he and Bai Zhun would not have children.

The two walked to the bookstore, where Xu Yanwen was already waiting, and Xiaoyan handed him the letter.

Seeing that Huo Zhenye was flustered and wanted to hide the letter, Huo Zhenye patted him on the shoulder: "Take it apart quickly, and if you don't read it, Axiu might have left Shanghai."

Xu Yanwen's face turned pale, and he quickly opened the letter. There were only a few words of farewell on the letter.

"How? Did she say where she went?"

Xu Yanwen shook his head: "No."

Huo Zhenye could empathize with him being so devastated: "Don't be too sad."

Before he finished speaking, he saw a yellow shadow flash past outside the window. Huo Zhenye dropped Xu Yanwen, opened the door and chased him out. He didn't see what it was, but he had a hunch that Ah Chiu had returned.

He chased the oriole for two roads, but the oriole didn't stop, so Huo Zhenye had no choice but to say, "Your wife is with me."

The oriole, which had been looming all along, stopped on the electric pole. From its bird's eyes, Huo Zhenye saw the struggle and reluctance. He added embellishments: "The blue bird is not attached to it at all, but Zhu Ding is waiting for you."
