When I am bored or in a low mood, I occasionally come to the embankment at dusk to watch a group of old ladies who love life dance under the willow trees. Looking at the smiles on their faces, I will also be infected and reinvigorate the passion for life.
I remember one time, the old ladies finished dancing when it was dark, and left each, I leaned on a willow tree, turned on the phone and started surfing the Internet. After a while, an old lady patted me and said: “Young man, I was dancing here just now, and found that I lost my key on the way home. My children are all in the field, and my wife died early again. Can you help me find it? Is it?”
At this time, it was already dark. Out of good intentions, I turned on the backlight of my phone and helped the old lady find her lost key in an empty place. While we were looking for the key, a kind old man brought a lantern from nowhere and helped to find it.
Before leaving, I saw the old lady and the old man chatting speculatively, and they were leaving together.
About three months later, when I was watching the old ladies dancing by the embankment, the old lady looking for the key came up to me and handed me a handful of wedding candy and said: “Boy, luckily I lost the key that day and let me know Lao Li. Today we went to go through the wedding formalities.” Looking at her smile, I couldn’t help but feel good, and asked her the address of the wedding banquet, ready to be anytime. Last thin gift.
A month later, I went to a bright and colorful farm yard in the outer suburbs, where the groom’s official’s house was. I was regarded as a guest of honor by the old couple. I was also invited to act as a witness when saluting. When the wedding banquet ended, it was sunset. To be honest, my mood became a little depressed again. I’m almost 30 years old, but I’ve been alone all the time, and seeing people’s old ladies all find the sunset red, why does this make me feel so embarrassed?

Not far from the farmyard, I suddenly heard the gurgling water. This is also an embankment with willows planted on the bank. Night fell gradually, but I still clearly saw a young girl leaning against a willow tree. After hearing my footsteps, she looked back at me.
I suddenly had a weird idea, why can’t I use the excuse of finding the key. Go and strike up a conversation with this young girl? But when I was about to step forward, I saw a handsome man walking out of the shadow of the willow tree. After the man and the girl met, they hugged tightly. I was immediately disappointed. As I walked a few steps, I suddenly heard a “plop” behind me, and the couple on the embankment had disappeared. I ran to the bank of the embankment quickly, and under the moonlight I only saw the gurgling river water surface with two ripples.
Is it for men and women who died in love? I hurried back to the small farmhouse where the wedding banquet was held just now, looking for a few enthusiastic people to salvage the bodies. The strange thing is that no matter how I go back, I can’t find the farmA small courtyard. With my memory, I walked back and forth several times, only to find a cemetery hidden in the mountains.

When the caretaker of the cemetery heard that I was looking for a small farmhouse with lights and colorful lights, he immediately said: “Impossible. No one else.”
And when he heard that someone had died on the bank, his expression changed even more. The old man led me into the cemetery. After turning around and turning around, he led me to a tombstone: “Did you see these two people just now?”
On the tombstone, There is a pair of young men and women. That woman is the young girl on the bank. The time to look at the monument was today 40 years ago.
The cemetery keeper told me in a sad tone that after the couple fell in love, they were obstructed by their parents, so they met to die on the bank. I remember they met when the girl accidentally lost the key. The boy passed by with a lantern to help her find it, so the two met.
I was shocked in my heart. Didn’t the old couple who got married today also met because they were looking for the key? I touched out the wedding invitation with trembling hands, my God, the name on the wedding invitation is exactly the two names on the tombstone.
I dare not ask any more, so I have to leave. Back in the city, I began to vomit and diarrhea, and in desperation I had to go to the hospital for treatment. After the doctor checked my vomit, he said to me: “Don’t eat anything, look, what is extracted from your vomit? Incense, wax, paper, candle…”
After I listened, I started to sweat.
