no puppet

Xie Hengyan gently put down the soup bowl, staring at Liu Zhouer's charming peach eyes: "A moment of grace?"

Liu Zhou'er sighed repeatedly: "Yes, a moment of grace."

Xie Hengyan asked: "Why is it just a moment?"

Liu Zhouer said: "There is no feeling that lasts forever. Even if I promise to love you forever in the future and exclude all possibilities of changing my heart in the future, I will still die, and you will die too... When people die, they are just a bunch of useless things." The ashes of the ashes, isn't there nothing left?"

Xie Hengyan: "...Oh."

Xiaolu raised her head and rested her chin, leaned closer and said gossipingly: "What is Xiaoxie's age now?"

Xie Hengyan: "Twenty out of four."

Xiaolu asked again: "Is there a daughter-in-law at home?"

Xie Hengyan was stunned: "Daughter-in-law?"

Liu Zhou'er sneered at the side: "If someone has a daughter-in-law, why do you still come to my empty building?"

Regardless, Xiaolu went over and grabbed Xie Hengyan's hand: "Xiao Xie, sister, can I show you your palm reading? I might be able to tell when you will get married!"

Xie Hengyan: "What palmistry?"

"It's just fortune-telling." Little green eyes rolled up and down, and she lowered her head to stare at Xie Hengyan's delicate and fair palm: "Well, Xiao Xie, your palm prints are so light, as if they don't exist..."

Xie Hengyan's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly put his paws into his sleeves, then smiled and said: "There is nothing to calculate, I don't believe in fate."

Liu Zhou'er also said quietly at the side: "Yes, your life is in your own hands, whether it is long or short, it is up to you to decide."

Xiaolu also nodded and said: "Aunt Liu seems to understand these principles very well."

"Less flattering, more work."

Liu Zhou'er didn't answer her words, just lowered her head and hurriedly took a sip of the soup, then turned to Xie Hengyan and said, "Speaking of it...it's the first time for Xiao Xie to receive customers today, but do you still feel used to it?"

Xie Hengyan said casually: "I'm used to it, I'm still used to it."

Xiaolu hid at the side and snickered: "Young Master Rong didn't stay in our building, so he must be not very satisfied."

Xie Hengyan bowed her head silently, thinking of Rong Buzhi's impatient dustpan face, she suddenly didn't want to speak.

"Forget it, don't come out in a hurry to pick up the guests." Liu Zhou'er probably understood his difficulties, and didn't force her too much. "Tomorrow, Xiaotao, who is dancing over there, will take you to the town to cut some decent clothes."

Xie Hengyan's eyes lit up, and she suddenly said with great interest: "Aunt Liu wants to buy me new clothes to wear?"

"It's natural." Liu Zhou'er patted Xie Hengyan's head, and smiled softly, "Since we've come to my empty building, we will be a family from now on, and Aunt Liu should give you all the clothes and jewelry you prepare. of."

Xie Hengyan couldn't help but curled up her lips, and smiled with a sweet but serious smile on her face: "...to have such a beautiful and generous family member as Aunt Liu, I am also very happy as hell."

At noon the next day, it was a rare break from the scorching sun, but light rain began to fall in the midair.

The entire town of Laifeng is covered with overcast clouds, which are being shrouded indiscriminately by a large area of ​​rising water vapor, as if scrambling to blind the eyes of passers-by.

"Have you heard that someone drowned again under the bridge at the entrance of the town...it seems to be a young girl."

"Well, the weather just changed last night, and it rained heavily."

"Maybe it was because the river was rushing, and it was accidentally swept away by the waves?"

"A few days ago, Boss Gan's daughter... that little chubby girl was also drowned here? Could it be a coincidence?"

"It's really strange in the town recently, is it possessed by some kind of ghost?"

It is still the tumbling river at the mouth of the town, and now it has not calmed down, and waves rise again, which soon attracts a group of townspeople who are not afraid of getting angry to come forward and discuss.

The bustling crowd surrounded the streets, and immediately blocked a narrow road in the town until it was blocked.

Xie Hengyan brushed aside the clusters of black and crumpled heads, and was about to take big strides back.At this time, Miss Xiaotao, who was walking behind him, grabbed his sleeve and said softly: "Hey, Xiaoxie, there is nothing to do right now, why don't you stay and watch the excitement?"

Xie Hengyan turned her head slightly, and said in surprise, "...what?"

Pointing at the crowd, Xiaotao said nervously, "Look over there, there's a dead person."

"Oh, what's so interesting about that." Xie Hengyan looked away dejectedly, and silently clenched the slender handle of the umbrella in his palm, "If you are a human being, you will die, it doesn't matter if you die sooner or later."

"Oh, why are you like this?" Xiaotao frowned, "Even if you don't have any sympathy, you should be afraid, right?"

Xie Hengyan said in a wooden voice, "What are you afraid of?"

"Of course it's a dead person... Don't you think something bad has entered our town recently?" Xiaotao covered her lips and said, "Two people drowned in this river, so there are very few such things! "

Xie Hengyan was silent for a while, then suddenly asked: "Sister Xiaotao, have you ever seen the sea tide rise?"

Xiaotao: "...the sea?"

Xie Hengyan smiled and said: "It's that kind of blue, very beautiful sea. During the day, there is a big sun shining, and no one feels afraid. At night, it starts to eat people, woo woo woo - so, every day Can spit out several corpses, fresh."

Xiao Tao's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and she said tremblingly, "Huh? There is such a thing?"

"That's right, maybe the river water can eat people." Xie Hengyan stretched out two paws, winked and frightened her, "If Miss Xiaotao doesn't leave, it will come to play with you at night!"

Xiao Tao's face turned pale, and she immediately tugged on his sleeves: "That's all, let's go!"

Xie Hengyan looked at the back of the girl leaving in a hurry with great satisfaction, and smiled knowingly. Just as she was about to slowly step out, her eyes shifted slightly, and she saw a tall, thin man behind the crowd.

The eyebrows and eyes are like knives, and they are abnormally cold.

To put it bluntly, it's called lofty, and it's called thin and dusty... To put it bluntly, it's a stinky face, no one has any expression, and it's impolite.

He stood alone not far from the river bank, without an umbrella, his clothes were soaked, and his hair was dripping, like a wild dog in a mess.

——At that time, Yin Zhu was looking at the cold and pale corpse in the direction of the river beach from a distance, holding his breath, and was standing silently in a daze.

Suddenly the light above the head dimmed, and there was an extra water-red paper umbrella, with a few small flowers floating in it.

As soon as Fang raised his head, he happened to meet the man's almond eyes, round and round with an elusive sharpness.

Xie Hengyan: "Hey! Isn't this Xiaobai, here alone in the rain?"

Yin Chun was stunned: "Xiaobai?"

"Oh, this is the new nickname everyone gave you last night." Seeing that there was still a roll of bandages wrapped around his right ear, Xie Hengyan couldn't help but bend the corners of her lips, and said triumphantly, "You want to whore for nothing... That’s why it’s called Xiaobai.”

Yin Chun looked at him indifferently: "..."

Xie Hengyan pretended to be surprised: "What are you staring at me for? Do you want to call me a prostitute?"

Yin Chun was still expressionless: "..."

"By the way, this is for you."

Xie Hengyan reached out and fumbled in her bosom, finally fished out the small purse that was accidentally stolen yesterday, shook it, and handed it to Yin Chu: "The quantity may be wrong, Aunt Liu divided some away yesterday."

Yin Chu froze completely: "You..."

"Don't ask, the Lord will reward you if you ask." Xie Hengyan narrowed his eyes, but his voice became clearer and clearer, "I didn't kill people, not yesterday, and not today."

Yin Chuan said: "I didn't say today's is."

Xie Hengyan was slightly taken aback, but soon showed a soft and innocent smile: "Gan Xiaozhu deserved what he deserved, and her father will also get retribution sooner or later."

Yin Chun sighed, and originally wanted to take advantage of the situation to continue the conversation.After a while of silence, I stopped talking and put the money bag into Xie Hengyan's palm again: "Take it, I'm not short of money."

"...I don't want it." Xie Hengyan snorted coldly, and threw it back untouched, "We owe nothing to each other, so don't come to me in the future."

Yin Chun frowned: "It's not yet..."

"Listen to my advice, if a man is too stalking, he won't be liked." Xie Hengyan patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Xiaobai, you are still young, and you have a long way to go in the future. Be careful in everything."

Yin Chu: "..."

This person has stayed in the brothel for too long, and he has become the same as the old bustard when he talks?

"Anyway, Xiaobai, don't come to me in the future." Xie Hengyan said seriously, "You catch your monsters, and I won't cause you trouble—the same reason, I live my life, you are not allowed to come out to bother me, you know Yet?"

Sometimes, I can't understand what the person in front of me is thinking.To say that he is stupid is not really stupid, but to say that he is smart, it seems like a lot of paste has entered his mind.

After all, it would be of no use to reason with him.

"Understood, it's my fault. I didn't know Boss Gan's character in advance, and it was my fault for causing you to be wronged. I apologize." Yin Chun said, "But, I am very busy now, Master explained The matter has not been successfully completed. Can I trouble you to hold your feet high and follow me back to Biyu Mansion?"

Xie Hengyan: "...?" Could he not understand human speech?

Yin Chu asked impatiently: "So, can we go now?"

Xie Hengyan laughed angrily: "...Are you busy with my shit?"

Yin Zhen said softly: "As you said, if the accident has nothing to do with you - I can ask Master to vacate the vacant room and let you stay for a while."

"Who... who cares about your empty house!"

Xie Hengyan's almond-shaped eyes were wide open, but after thinking about it, she couldn't find any words to refute. Finally, she just stuffed the red umbrella with flowers floating on her head into his hand, gritted her teeth and said, "Go away, don't spoil the scenery in front of the young master. Living in the empty building is really comfortable... Where is Xiaotao? Sister Xiaotao, let's go home!"

The rain suddenly turned heavy, and the head could cover people's faces sparsely.

Not long after Xie Hengyan turned around, when she was waiting to turn back again, she looked at the crowd in front of her, and suddenly changed her expression: "Xiao, where is Xiaotao?"

He struggled forward, waved away the turbulent crowd around him, almost at a loss and said: "Miss Xiaotao, where have you been?"

"...Miss Tao?"
