no puppet

Yin Chun originally wanted to say that since the wooden arrow flew so far, it would be fine for him to find it alone.

However, Xie Hengyan is extremely stubborn, and he will follow whatever he says.The winter weather was terrible. The snow that had fallen all over the ground a while ago had not yet melted. The two stepped on the snow all the way out of the dry forest and walked to the frozen pier beach outside the village.

It just so happened that the fishermen in the village did not go far away, and gathered near the shallow water beach, waiting for the fish at the bottom to take the bait by themselves.

When Yin and Xie passed by, it was almost noon, and the sun above their heads was covered with a layer of gray mist, and they could not feel any warmth at all.According to common sense, the fishermen should take a break now and start thinking about having lunch—however, for some reason today, they could only hear a buzzing sound of discussion, and the closer they got, the The sound became more and more urgent and uncontrollable, as if something life-threatening was happening.

Yin Zhenxin said what's the matter, this group of villagers chatted all day long, and they never had a moment to spare.

While wondering, Xie Hengyan rushed forward without any scruples, pulled an old fisherman by the beach nearby, and asked directly: "Old man, what happened here?"

The old fisherman's face was ashen, and he said tremblingly: "Big, big things are not good, big things are not good!"

Yin Zhu said impatiently: "What's the matter? Make it clear."

"Our new village chief...just took office on his first day, and he received punishment from heaven, punishment from heaven!" The old fisherman tremblingly said, "It must...it must be something like the karma seal. On Una, the gods are angry!"

Yin Chun was stunned to hear it inexplicably: "God is talking, what are you talking about!"

Xie Hengyan was also startled, and said: "What punishment, God is so angry, are you stunned? Otherwise...ask someone else."

Just as the two of them were about to walk a few steps forward, a grumpy villager suddenly came up to them and said gloomily, "Don't ask, you probably don't know! When I went fishing this morning, Wu I don't know how long it took for Na to regain his spirit, and suddenly, as usual, he came to the pier with everyone!"

Yin Chun was slightly startled, and Xie Hengyan's almond eyes widened, and he couldn't help but said: "What are you talking about? Brother Wu is... refreshed now? Are you still in the mood to go fishing?"

"Yeah, we can't believe it! He was still huddled in the tent last night and went crazy. He didn't know what was going on this morning, so he came as soon as he said it, and he was unambiguous at all!" The villager also said in surprise, "Originally everyone Still scared. But Una emphasized that he has been lying down for almost a month, trying to adapt to life in the village early and not hurting anyone."

"Really?" Xie Hengyan said in disbelief, "It shouldn't be, brother Wu kept saying yesterday that he didn't want to become a demon, why did he come out today with the karma seal?"

The villager said: "Of course it is true! People are punting near the shallow water beach... There are so many people in the village, but he is the most courageous, and he rowed the farthest by himself."

Xie Hengyan taunted all of them: "It's really amazing that he still has the strength to push the boat!"

"I've said it all, don't worry." Yin Chun said calmly, "Let him recover by himself, faster than anyone else."

Xie Hengyan: "Who knew he could go to the ground today!"

"So, isn't retribution coming?" The villager shook his head, obviously worried, "We all guess that the seal of karma is probably some kind of unlucky ominous thing--now it's replaced with a new one. Master, you must come to bring disaster!"

"Ah? What disaster happened? You've been talking about this since you came here just now." Xie Hengyan asked.

"You two came too late, you didn't see it." The villager's face was not very good, he raised his hands, and gestured to Xie Hengyan one by one, "It's just a big guy, and they were all crowded by the shallow water beach to fish. Una recovered from a serious illness today. He supported his fishing boat and rowed to the deepest place. We persuaded him at first, but he refused to listen, saying that his wife was too weak and wanted to catch bigger fish and shrimp. , so I can make up for her."

When Xie Hengyan heard it, he also felt that this was indeed Wuna's style of doing things.He has always loved Rong Shilian the most, and now that he has just calmed down, he must give priority to taking care of his frightened wife.

"And then?" Yin Chun asked.

"Then he was busy fishing, suddenly! From the other side of the sky, a cloud-piercing arrow fell - with a whoosh, it came directly to nail the boat canopy, and it sank a full foot deep!" The villagers were especially terrified. He said, "The people present at the time were all terrified... the sound of the falling arrow was so loud! The entire canopy was almost split in half, and it was really close to rubbing Una's head. , almost hurt the Ye Shengyin!"

Xie Hengyan: "..."

Yin Chu: "..."

——They seem to know what this so-called "punishment from heaven" is all about.

The villagers in front of them didn't feel anything, and they were still talking endlessly to the two of them: "You said, isn't this seal of karma an evil thing? Una hasn't tasted it yet, and he felt the god in advance. The condemnation... To put it bluntly, everything is fate!"

"This..." Xie Hengyan's throat choked, and he was so embarrassed that he couldn't describe it, "This is not some god, it's me..."

Yin Chun whispered in his ear: "Let you try the arrow, will you cause a big disaster?"

"Oh, don't worry about that for now." Xie Hengyan pulled Yin Chun and said, "Go to Una first and find out which arrow is on his side."

Yin Chun said: "Nine times out of ten, it's the first one."

Xie Hengyan sighed: "I hope it's the first one. I was so excited at that time, I didn't use the right force, and it was inevitable that the shot would miss."

When these words came out, I saw a very familiar and tall figure slowly appearing on the other side of the shallow water beach, in a slightly deeper place.Taking a closer look, it was indeed Una who hadn't been out of the tent for a long time—now he was on the small fishing boat he was used to, holding the fishing rod in his hand, and his movements seemed a little rusty, and he had never traveled far in January reason.

But looking at it this way, compared with yesterday's, his overall condition is indeed much better.

At least when Xie Hengyan first met Una, he was still breaking down and crying uncontrollably.Today, not only did he stand up during the day, but he had the extra strength to go fishing on a punting boat.

Of course, the most conspicuous thing among them was not Una who had just recovered from a serious illness and went out for activities, but just above the boat canopy behind him—a short wooden arrow that was extremely sharp.

Even at the end of the wooden arrow, there were a few strings of very familiar rags hanging sparsely... It was clearly used to hang the eggs just now, but now the eggs are gone, and only those pieces of cloth are still in the air, fluttering up and down in the wind .

Yin Chu was speechless at that moment.

Looking at the noisy fishermen around, they seemed to be seeing something strange, all of them were ashen-faced and out of their minds—there were even more timid ones, who almost knelt down on the spot, as if This sudden battle was frightening.

Some people said: "It is that the karma seal should not change hands. The demon seal was originally born for demons, so how could it be easily transplanted to humans."

Some people also said: "Una has had a bad luck this time, and he will definitely suffer bloody disasters in the near future!"

But Yin Chun and Xie Hengyan stood at the back of the crowd, looking at each other, not knowing how to speak for a moment.

After a while, Yin Chun said to Xie Hengyan: "I'll go to Wuna to explain clearly."

However, before he finished speaking, he didn't know what Xie Hengyan was in a hurry to do. He didn't care what Yin Chu said, and raised his legs in two or three steps, and stepped directly onto the ice surface near the shallow water beach.

Yin Chun was so angry that he shouted behind him: "You...stop!"

Little did they know that this puppet was born light and agile, and now once it started to walk, it was even more effortless.Ordinary people usually have to be careful when walking on the ice, but Xie Hengyan is fine. She often slips faster than a rabbit when she runs, and when Yin Pou is behind her, she is out of breath. Soon, from the place where the beach first started, I jumped all the way to a little deeper in the ice surface—that is, near the waters where Una's fishing boat was moored.

After walking a few feet further, the layers of thin ice floating on the surface of the water are just a few loosely divided pieces, just enough for fishing boats to launch into the water.But ordinary fishermen are afraid of danger and trouble, and most of them choose to fish in areas with firmer ice. But Una is very rebellious. He clearly has just recovered, so he holds a small boat to the depths of the water alone to seek excitement.

In fact, it doesn't matter to Yin Chun.

Whether Una is dead or alive has nothing to do with him.But the most terrible thing... is that foolish puppet, with two thin bamboo legs that can slide faster than anyone else, and it seems to be his hometown on the ice, and when he walks ten steps away, he is separated from Yin Chun in a blink of an eye Most of the distance.Yin Zhu's heart was about to pop out of his chest, and he kept chasing but couldn't catch up, for fear that he would fall and roll on the ground somewhere, and eventually he would come back with something wrong.

Fortunately, today's Xie Hengyan is very smart, and she slid smoothly to Wuna's side along the way, without even falling down.Yin Chu was panting after chasing on the ice, and the cold wind poured into his throat, like a sharpened knife, sticking to his neck and repeatedly cutting back and forth—seeing that Xie Hengyan had already stood still, Yin Chu finally Slowly letting go of his old air, he followed behind slowly.

At that time, Una had just come out of the boat tent, with an indescribable hostility on his face.Seeing Xie Hengyan running over in a hurry when he turned his head, Wuna frowned, remembering what happened last night, his heart became more and more uneasy, and he scolded coldly: "Why is it you!"

Xie Hengyan was obsessed with thinking about the wooden arrows on the canopy of the boat, and now he bumped into Una head-on, without saying hello, just like a careless child, he climbed onto the bow with his hands and feet.

But at this moment, Una neither knew that the arrow was shot by a puppet, nor did he know why this fellow came here for.Now seeing Xie Hengyan boarding the boat, Wu Na felt as if he had been robbed, and suddenly said vigilantly: "What are you doing? What are you doing on my boat?"

Without looking back, Xie Hengyan stared at the wooden arrow on the roof and said, "I'll take something."

"What are you taking? This boat is mine!" Una shouted, "Go down!"

Xie Hengyan turned back and glanced at him: "What's yours and mine? Why did you complain yesterday that you don't want the karma seal, but today you are willing to go out to punting with it?"

"I'm fishing for Lianmei!" Una blushed so anxiously that her neck was thick, "She's been feeling unwell recently, and it's all because I've been asleep for too long, and she's worked hard too!"

Xie Hengyan said: "Oh. Then you should also thank the karma seal on the top of your head. If it hadn't played its role in time, you would go to heaven to fish for your sister Lian in the future?"

Una: "You..."

The puppet's sharp words today are mostly due to the unhappiness that fell yesterday.Thinking about it now, I still feel suffocated—from ancient times to the present, among all the things that can bring people back to life, is there anything that is not robbed and robbed, and no matter how hard everyone tries their best, they can’t get what they want in the end?

But no matter how the karma seal is counted, it fell on Una's head for nothing. Not to mention taking advantage of himself, he still has to pretend to be aloof and stay at home looking for life?

The more Xie Hengyan thought about it, the angrier she became, and now she turned around and saw Una's dark face, and felt chills for no reason.Anyway, Una called him from behind, he just pretended not to hear, Gu Zi stepped on the wooden stool and stood upright, like a grasshopper that was too energetic, turned over and climbed to the top of the boat tent in a blink of an eye, and raised his hand to get the nearly submerged gun. A foot-deep sharpened wooden arrow.

Una saw it, how could it be worth it?Immediately with a livid face, he waved his hands from below: "You, you presumptuous monster, come down for me quickly, don't move that arrow!"

Xie Hengyan said: "Why can't you move? I want to move!"

After speaking, he exerted force with both hands, and with a bang, he forcibly pulled the wooden arrow out from the roof!

"That's...that's God's punishment!" Una was about to go crazy, "It's God, expressing strong dissatisfaction with me! How can you take it off? There will be disasters in the future! You will suffer Disaster!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? You're talking nonsense without any basis!"

Xie Hengyan put the wooden arrow in the palm of his hand, turned it around, and then looked down at the dark and light ink marks on the arrow tail. They were all spells hand-painted by Yin Chun himself. Looking closely at the style of the strokes, he can basically confirm that this is the arrow. The first shot he accidentally missed!

Anyway, no matter what, it will never be the so-called "punishment from heaven".

"Don't be silly, this arrow is mine." Xie Hengyan said, "It was just cut this morning, you can touch it yourself, the wood is still fresh and warm!"

"What did you say?!"

Una's whole body was shaken, as if he had been struck by lightning, and his complexion turned pale with shock.

Xie Hengyan said impatiently: "I've said it all, it's because you think too much... What god punished me, this is my arrow! I shot it out of the forest just now." After saying that, he held the wooden arrow high I got up, and waved excitedly at Yinzhu in the distance: "Yinzhu! Look, I found the arrow. It's the first one—the egg and the arrow are fine. It's me. I accidentally missed it!"

the first one?

careless?

Missed?

Hearing this, Wu Na suddenly felt as if someone had slapped him severely, and stood there in a daze for a long time——following closely, anger rose from his heart, and an unknown fire suddenly rose to the top!

He didn't say much, and rushed directly to the bottom of the boat canopy, almost hissing at Xie Hengyan: "What the first shot! You bastard, you can't shoot the second shot!"

However, Xie Hengyan didn't listen to it at all, just bent her black and bright almond eyes, and smiled like a silly dog ​​at Yin Chu from afar: "Yin Chu, Yin Chu, let's find a second one, if we can't find it— —That means it really flew out!"

At this moment, Yin Zhu was still walking slowly and with difficulty on the ice.

——When I looked up, I happened to see Xie Hengyan standing on the canopy of the boat and dancing, his appearance was so stupid, just like a three-year-old mentally handicapped child.

Piansheng Yinzhu saw it with a thought, couldn't help raising his hand, and reluctantly waved at him twice as a response.

Unexpectedly, Xie Hengyan was even happier with Yin Zhu's response, and jumped up with a whoosh, almost crushing the straw boat canopy under his feet.

As a coincidence, Wu Na, who was furious below, couldn't bear it any longer at this moment, so he went forward and tightened Xie Hengyan's jumping ankle: "You...you come down quickly! You bastard! "

Xie Hengyan let out a "huh" before noticing Una standing at the bow of the boat, and asked, "What's wrong? What are you doing with me?"

"Why did you say I pulled you?" Una was so angry that he was about to vomit blood, "Do you know that the arrow that came over just now nearly sliced ​​off the top of my head?"

Xie Hengyan said it confidently: "The problem is... I didn't hurt you! Besides, don't you always want to turn back into a dead person?"

Una said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about! It doesn't matter if you shoot arrows indiscriminately and hurt me. What if life and death happen to hurt other villagers!"

Xie Hengyan said: "It didn't hurt anyone else either!"

Una said with righteous indignation: "It's one thing not to get hurt, but another thing to get hurt!"

"Hey, the appointment of the new official is three fires." Xie Hengyan mocked, "This is putting on the airs of the village chief? Everyone hasn't admitted it yet..."

Just halfway through the conversation, Wu Na stretched out his big hand, barely grabbing Xie Hengyan's skirt!

Xie Hengyan: "!!"

"If I tell you to come down, get out of here quickly!"

——Wuna gritted her teeth. This time, she really used her whole body's brute force to drag the puppet from the top of the boat canopy. Just like scolding Wu Qian in the same day, she dragged people to the edge of the bow along the way, and then used one hand Hold down desperately!

"Don't think that you are some powerful monster, you can pretend to be crazy and act stupid, and do whatever you want on this island!" Una's eyes were cracked, showing extreme anger, "Without permission, the village is determined not to shoot arrows at will—especially In the absence of guarantees, who has the mood to care whether you are a human or a ghost!"

Xie Hengyan raised his eyes suddenly, and just got very close to Una's anxious face, and even looked more carefully, and he was able to see all the twisted and terrifying scowls of the other party.

Originally, he was eager to test the arrow in the forest, all in one fell swoop, to verify the actual relationship between the "baby" and the barrier - he didn't want to be overconfident in his own archery at the beginning, causing the first arrow to seriously deviate from the direction, so it would fly by mistake It was completely unexpected for him to come to the pier.

Seeing Una so angry this time, Xie Hengyan thought about it, and gradually understood the seriousness of the problem.

It is true that what Una mentioned must have a certain reason-the random arrows hurt people, causing panic everywhere, and the villagers questioned Una's resurrection and return, and even proposed "punishment from heaven". Ridiculous and ridiculous statement.

Xie Hengyan held the wooden arrow in his hand, but his heart was not in a good mood. He wanted to organize his words honestly, so as to apologize to Wu Na and explain the ins and outs of the matter clearly.

Unexpectedly, Wu Na was so angry that he stared at Xie Hengyan in front of him, basically scolding him as Wu Qian.

"Who allowed you to shoot arrows in the woods? I think you are a bastard, you probably deserve a beating!" Una furiously said, "You bastard, you still told me that there is a second one... How many shots did you shoot in total? Branch, tell me the truth!"

Xie Hengyan frowned and said, "There are only two in total!"

Una said loudly, "Where did the second branch go?"

Xie Hengyan bit the bullet and said, "It's gone."

Una's eyeballs almost popped out: "What did you say?"

"It's all gone, it's gone, are you deaf?" Xie Hengyan was also a little annoyed, "It's a big deal, as long as it doesn't hurt anyone, why do you keep holding on!"

Una scolded: "Bastard! You don't even realize where you are wrong!"

"You are the bastard! You bastard!" Xie Hengyan also said angrily, "Master, I am your savior—do you treat me with this attitude?"

Una was stunned when he heard it, and then he reacted - he stretched out his big hand almost angrily, and pushed the puppet back fiercely!

"...Did I tell you to save me!"

However, before the words finished, Xie Hengyan didn't have time to make any reaction, followed by a staggered back, and fell off the bow of the boat abruptly!

Una woke up in an instant, and subconsciously wanted to step forward to help.Unexpectedly, there was no wooden fence on the edge of the fishing boat, and the bow of the boat happened to be close to the side of the ice floe facing the water. Xie Hengyan made a somersault and rolled firmly on the ice surface, and then his feet were completely out of control, and he slid all the way Into the unknown depth of water behind.

——At the time of the incident, Yin Chuan was still tens of feet away, and Xie Hengyan and Wuna could vaguely see the fierce confrontation between them, which obviously had an extremely serious conflict.

But Yin Chun didn't make it to the fishing boat at all. The thing he was most worried about all along happened to Xie Hengyan... and it happened without warning, it was a fatal blow.

For a puppet that is not good at water and is extremely afraid of the cold, in this icy winter, if it accidentally falls into the freezing cold sea water, it may kill him almost at any time.

This is not a joke, Yin Zhu knew it quite well.

So much so that the moment Xie Hengyan was about to fall into the water - right between Yin Chun's limbs and bones, there was a sudden icy cold.It seemed that all the rational emotions that could be controlled all the time were terrified at the same time, and they were mixed together, almost turning into a ruthless sharp knife, piercing his internal organs.

Perhaps at that moment, there was a huge roar in my heart for no reason.

In his mind, a thin string that had been taut for a long time, at this moment, finally... and completely and unmistakably, broke.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Foretelling what will happen next, please listen to the next chapter to break it down...

Yin Chun: I think I'm about to get the hang of it.

Xie Hengyan: I also feel that I am about to open up.

Yinzhu: What kind of enlightenment are you talking about?I'm talking about that enlightenment.

Xie Hengyan: What kind of enlightenment is that kind of enlightenment?

Yin Chun: Umm...I...have...a little...happiness...you understand?

Xie Hengyan: What?What do you wash?I was the one who got washed, right, Xie Hengyan who was frozen!
