Walking in the snow can’t see my footsteps, it’s a very dangerous thing, but I still have the courage to walk forward, maybe it’s the snow that buried my shoe prints, maybe it’s the wind and snow. My eyes were lost…I stepped on it step by step as usual, and the snow field was boundless.
When Axi saw me, the sun was already sinking. There were a few people sitting sporadically in the teahouse, one after another picking up the peanuts in the saucer, talking about the impending marriage in the town. The little girl who sang words in the teahouse gave a “devil husband” for eight yuan. Amidst their regrets, the tea guests raised their surprised faces, and said in unison: “Dexiang, are you here too?” Axi saw me, and he wanted to say something but stopped. In the end, she still couldn’t bear to say: “Dexiang, you shouldn’t have come. Myolie has been carried away by Master Zhang’s sedan chair.” Axi looked at me and stuffed the banknote into my hand: “This She asked me to give you the money to start a small business and stop thinking about it.”
Ten years. When I arrived in the town, it was already midday. Several broken up-top boats along the Baiyang River are anchored on the icy river. The cold wind blew in from the window, and it shaved the face like a sharp blade with a piercing pain. The carriage drove slowly and slowly, and the horseman in the carriage was able to chat with me about the town. It is also mentioned in the inside that for the implied marriage ten years ago, the Zhang family paid eight yuan to the ocean, and he just gave his dead son a living person as a “ghost bride.”

“Guests, but are you going home to visit relatives?” The driver turned his face away, smirking.
“Meet an old friend.”
“At first glance, the guests are the nobles from the city. How come you are in this remote country? People familiar?”
I looked up and saw a red lantern in the distance: “Why is this red lantern still?”
The coachman smiled vaguely: “Guests, maybe you don’t know, right? Half of the income in this town depends on these bright red lanterns.”
“What do you mean? “
“Does the guest really do not understand, or pretend to be confused?!”
After a long time, the car stopped outside the teahouse.
The cart driver looked at me and said, “Guest, here.”
I paid and got out of the car.
“Who are you?” A five-year-old child, squatting on the street outside the teahouse and throwing sandbags, raised his head when he saw it.
“Dexiang?! It’s really you.”
At this moment, Ah Xi is dressed as a woman, breaking her palm blue. A touch on the floral apron, stretched out his hand to hold my palm and said: “Dexiang? Is it really you?!”
“Mum, who is he?” The child snuggled beside Axi, while holding Wu Liang’s eyes, he looked at me carefully.
“Call me Uncle.”
I reached out and rubbed the child’s head while saying: “How old is it? What’s your name?”
The child turned away from his face, looked stubborn and silent, while avoiding my palm, he ran towards the corner in a smoke.
“Axi, are you married? When did it happen?!”
“Dexiang, have you eaten yet? I’ll go in and give You cook some side dishes.” While talking, I followed Axi into the teahouse.
