Repayment of the little fox

Hong saw Zisu.

His head was full of white hair, his waist was bent, his wrinkles were like ravines, his eyes were no longer as bright as they used to be, cloudy and muddy, most of his teeth were missing, his mouth was bowed sharply, dry and thin, he was completely different from the gentle and elegant young man in Hong's memory, nothing at all. similarities.

Hong's mood was very complicated. When she showed her original shape, the old Zisu couldn't bear the stimulation and passed out directly, and it took a while to wake up slowly.

It was difficult for him to speak, and two lines of tears flowed from his turbid eyes: "Rainbow! It's a rainbow! It's great, you didn't die. I thought the lifespan of the rainbow demon would end when the rain came..."

"So, you later became relatives... full of children and grandchildren." Hong said with some resentment.

You are doing well.Live in a spacious room, have a son who respects you, and three grandchildren, surrounded by you.When I saw you, you were lying leisurely on the recliner, holding your granddaughter in your arms, and patted her to sleep.

Hong thought that she and Zisu had imagined a house full of children and grandchildren.It's a pity, it's a pity, after all, it wasn't her and Zisu who lived together.

The old Zisu stared at Hong without blinking, as if in a daze, with a smile and a cry, "That's great...you're not dead...you're not dead..."

"Sure enough, you knew that I was not a human being. We didn't dare to break this point back then... Do you know? Every time a rainbow appears, I'm looking for you. I've been looking for you for a long time..."

Hong said softly, "Since you know that I am a demon, why do you want to marry me? Do you know that I disappeared on the eve of the wedding, and how anxious I have been all these years. I am afraid that you will resent me as a person who broke my promise, and even more afraid You foolishly wait and don’t know how to move forward.”

Zisu hesitated to speak, her expression complicated and difficult to distinguish, she was silent for a long time, and finally said three words with trembling lips: "I'm sorry."

Hong wanted to laugh, but couldn't.After all, she couldn't figure out who was sorry for whom.

"Is she nice to you?" Hong asked.

Zisu replied: "Very good."

"Are you happy in this life?" Hong asked again.

Zisu nodded: "Very happy."

Hong sighed lightly: "That's good, that's good. In this way, the sins in my heart are also eliminated. I am very happy to see you again."

With her cane in hand, Zisu tremblingly walked towards an old wooden box that had almost lost its paint.This wooden box was chosen by them together back then.

Hong thought for a while, and reached out to hold him.Zisu is really old, all she feels is the hardness of the bones.Hong's tears finally couldn't help shedding.

Zisu hesitated again and again, and tremblingly patted Hong's hand, as gentle as comforting a granddaughter.

He said: "I have kept the wedding dress when you left. I will return it to you now."

Hong thought, yes, the two of them never got married, so it was right to come back.

The two opened the wooden box together, and a red wedding dress was neatly stacked in front of them.Years have passed for so long, but the wedding dress is still as bright red as if it had just been sewn.

Zisu said: "Hong, can I watch you put on a wedding dress for me?"

"Why should I wear it with you? We are not husband and wife." Hong replied.

Zisu's old face showed a hurt look for a moment, pitiful and sad.

Hong was startled, what reason did she have to complain about Zisu?Back then, Zisu thought she was dead, so could it be that Zisu was willing to wait her whole life, that's what she wanted?

This is by no means her original intention. During the 53 years, every time she desperately tried to find Zisu, she just wanted to tell him not to wait for her and live a good life.

"Okay, I'll wear it." Hong tearfully changed into her wedding dress.

The bright and dignified young bride and the octogenarian old man, who are dying, look at each other, and have lived and died for many years.

Zisu smiled, the folds on her face were not good-looking, but she had the gentleness of deja vu: "You left without saying goodbye, and I broke my promise to get married. We will owe nothing to each other in this life. I hope you can do it again from now on." That wanton and happy rainbow demon."

In a trance, Hong seemed to see Zisu from that year again.He slowly disappeared in front of him...

When Hong came back to her senses, she said, "Okay."

-

Hu Zhi and Sikong Shou waited outside the door.Sikong held his little granddaughter who was not sleeping soundly in his arms, and gently rocked back and forth, lest the child wake up and cry.

Hu Zhi paced back and forth, boredly approaching Sikong, and poked his little granddaughter's round and tender face.The little granddaughter cried twice unwillingly.

Sikong glared at Huzhi, who shrugged innocently.

"Tell me, how are they talking? One is a senile old man, and the other is a fairy whose face has not changed for thousands of years. Alas! I think it will be very difficult for them to reunite." Hu Zhi sighed.

Thinking that Sikong might become a bad old man decades later, Hu Zhi suddenly didn't have the confidence to continue liking him.Of course, even though Hu Zhi was thinking wildly like this, he didn't want to leave Sikong now, after all, it would be the day when his love disappeared, or Sikong would drive him away.

It's just that he didn't expect that within a few hours, he would change his reluctance to leave.

Sikong shook his hands for a moment, and said, "They are saying goodbye."

At this moment, Hong came out wearing a wedding dress with a calm face.

"This?" Hu Zhi was surprised.

Hong looked up at the darkening sky. Gray clouds covered the sky as thin as scales, and it was going to rain in a few days.

She bowed to Sikong and Hu Zhi: "It's been a long time since I've seen the human world leisurely... Now that I'm overwhelmed, it's time for me to take a look. Hong will leave you guys alone."

The little baby girl opened her eyes dimly, and the moment she saw the rainbow disappear, she called out in a childlike voice: "Grandma."

It's a pity that Hong didn't hear this sound.On the contrary, Sikong and Hu Zhi heard it right.

Sikong and Hu Zhi looked at each other, wondering at the same time: "Grandma?"

Zhao Zisu is a kind old man, and expressed his gratitude to them: "I can see Hong again, and I will die without regret. Thank you for your help, and please don't disclose any information about Hong."

"Old man... How is your chat with Hong?" Hu Zhi was puzzled, why both of them looked relaxed.

Zhao Zisu said: "There is no part in the marriage, I have let go of it."

The little granddaughter struggled out of Sikong's arms, hugged Zhao Zisu's leg, and said happily: "Grandpa, grandpa. I seem to see grandma. Grandma is more beautiful than the portrait, like a fairy."

Why did the little granddaughter call Hong, who met for the first time, 'grandma' again and again? !

Hu Zhi thought again and again, "Doctor Zhao is adopted, you are not married! You have been waiting for Rainbow Demon."

Zhao Zisu said with nostalgia: "Except that Wushan is not a cloud, meeting Hong is the happiest thing for me. Please don't tell Hong. Hong thinks I am married."

"Why did you do this? You obviously waited for her." Hu Zhi was puzzled.

Zhao Zisu said: "When I first saw Hong, she was like an elf in the mountains, happy and carefree. Now, I am a dying person, but Hong has thousands of years. Why let her be trapped in a dead person? I hope she will never die." A happy elf."

Hu Zhi was annoyed: "No! I'm going to find Hong. Why do you decide for Hong?!"

After Hu Zhi finished speaking, he left in a hurry.

Zhao Zisu staggered after him and nearly fell down. Sikong helped him up and comforted him, "I understand. I will persuade Hu Zhi."

"Thank you." Zhao Zisu looked at him gratefully.

Hu Zhi went out the door, looked left and right, saw no one around, and was about to cast a spell when Sikong grabbed him.

"Sikong!" Hu Zhi was scared to death.

Sikong said: "As Zhao Zisu said, if Hong knows that Zhao Zisu has been waiting for her, have you ever wondered how Hong will feel? She will feel that she is late. She will blame herself for every search in the past 53 years, She never found Zhao Zisu, she would resent herself. Hong was finally freed, do you want her to be deeply regretted for thousands of years?"

"I...but this is unfair to Zhao Zisu. It's his whole life, and he will be misunderstood by his beloved in the end." Hu Zhi curled his lips aggrieved.

"He is willing. That is what he is willing to do. If it were me, I would also be willing." Sikong stared deeply at Hu Zhi.

Hu Zhi looked at Sikong in a daze, and there was affection in his eyes that he couldn't understand.

When the two returned home, Hu Zhi tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

He blew a mouthful of evil spirits at Sikong, and instantly disappeared on the spot.Sikong opened his eyes, his eyes were dim.

Hu Zhi couldn't figure out what Zhao Zisu did, so he wanted to find Zhao Zisu to reason.

In the middle of the night, Zhao's courtyard was as dark as ink, except for a faint candlelight in one place.Hu Zhi licked his finger and poked a hole in the papered window.

There is a painting hanging on the desk, the portrait has been yellowed for many years, the woman in the painting is smiling and charming, swinging on a swing, it is a rainbow.

The hunched back before the desk is Zhao Zisu.Holding a paintbrush in his hand, he concentrates on outlining the figure, which is Rainbow in her wedding dress today.Zhao Zisu softly called "Rainbow" over and over again.

The lonely person is year after year, desperately and helplessly calling for his lover.

He is not doing well.Hu Zhi's big teardrops rolled down.

Sikong said, 'If it was him, he would be willing'.

He doesn't want Sikong to be happy, what's the point of being happy?For the rest of my life, I only miss one person.He didn't want Sikong to fall into such a situation, he wanted to leave the Si family before Sikong fell in love with him deeply.
