no puppet

"Wu, Brother Wu!"

Xie Hengyan saw Una for the first time, as if she couldn't even speak, she hurriedly straightened her back, and said dryly, "Sister Tangshui, is she okay, did you slow down?"

Una didn't speak, just shook his head, his expression was particularly gloomy and haggard.

Only then did Yin Zhu pay attention to the baby girl wrapped in his arms.Now holding it in my hand, it is really only a half-sized lump. My limbs are severely atrophied, my face is blurred, and my whole body is tightly wet with blood and sweat, and I haven't had time to clean it up for a while.

Yin Chun said: "This child..."

"Take it away...dispose of it." Una's eyes were empty, and his words did not show the slightest ups and downs, "Don't, don't let Lianmei see it...don't let her see it."

"Wait!" Xie Hengyan caught up and asked, "How are you going to deal with it?"

The doctor said in a condensed voice: "What else can I do? Naturally, I should take it away and burn it! Such a thing at the beginning of the year must be a sign of great danger...Even if other people in the village don't care, Miss Rong herself can't accept it. In order to avoid long nights and dreams in the future, it is better to deal with it earlier."

"Burn it?!" Xie Hengyan said in amazement, "No matter how you say it, it won't just be burned like this, right?... Well, let's walk decently!"

Una looked gloomy, and said slowly: "Then what else do you want?"

Xie Hengyan asked: "What did Sister Tangshui say? Does she not want to see the child?"

"How do you think she can see the child with her current appearance?" Una pointed back at the tent and said aggressively, "Otherwise, go in and see for yourself what Lianmei has become with this dead thing?"

"..."

Xie Hengyan's breathing became heavy, and then she stared at the bloody dead baby in his arms, and couldn't bear to say: "But..."

"No, but, don't say it!" Una's throat choked up, with muddy tears in the corners of his eyes, "Don't say it, don't say it... Please, please forgive me, please forgive us. We are already alive It's bad enough, don't let this kind of thing continue to torture our husband and wife..."

Xie Hengyan: "I..."

"Yan Yan, forget it." Yin Chun pulled his wrist and said in a low voice, "Let him do it himself, let's leave it alone."

Xie Hengyan finally didn't say much, and silently watched Una moving forward, passing him two, walking towards a deeper part of the dry forest, and gradually disappeared.

Yin Chun was also speechless for a while, and finally took his hand and said, "Let's go, go and see Rong Shilian."

Xie Hengyan nodded in pain, Yin Chun took him into his arms, turned around and entered Una's tent together.

At this time, Rong Shilian, who had just given birth in the tent, had already fallen asleep exhaustedly. When she closed her eyes, she could see that her eyes were sunken deeply. …It was also painful and terrified, calling out one after another: "Don't, don't let it come over, take it away...get away! Go...get away!"

Wu Qian stood quietly by the side, stepping up lightly from time to time to wipe off the sweat on her head, it was rare that she wasn't as mischievous as usual.Seeing Yin and Xie approaching now, he just turned his head and asked timidly, "Well, sister... where is my sister?"

"My sister was taken away by your father." Xie Hengyan lowered her eyes and touched his head casually, "Maybe she won't come back again."

Wu Qian asked hastily, "Are you going to throw it away?"

Xie Hengyan said: "It is to be burned."

Wu Qian let out an "ah", her eyes suddenly widened.Yin Chun tugged at the corner of Xie Hengyan's clothes, and reproachfully said: "What are you talking about with the child..."

Wu Qian said with difficulty: "No way, is it really going to be burned?"

Yin Chun glanced at Xie Hengyan, who was hesitant to speak, and didn't say anything more, just nodded calmly, and it was regarded as an answer to this question.

The three of them did not speak, and stood aside for a while, then they were afraid of disturbing Rong Shilian's sleep, so they walked out of the tent together.

On the way to go home, Xie Hengyan muttered, "I still don't think it's appropriate. The baby has just been born, and it's burned in such a dirty way..."

"Otherwise, what else can I do? Wash it clean, wear new clothes, give it a good name... and then bury it in a splendid place?" Yin Chun said mercilessly, "Isn't this adding to the sadness?"

"Then what do you plan to do if it's our child?" Xie Hengyan asked back.

"..." Yin Zhu was choked up by the question, and didn't know how to answer for a long time.

"Actually... I don't think it's appropriate." Wu Qian whispered from the side, "No matter what, I have a relationship for six months, just born like this, and then immediately burned it rashly... Even if it were me, It will be a little bit embarrassing."

"Oh, the baby is so pitiful." Xie Hengyan looked up to the sky and sighed, "...Sister Tangshui is so pitiful too."

"It's pathetic, there's nothing you can do about it, the conditions on the island are like this, do you want to sympathize with all the women and dead babies?" Yin Chun squinted at him.

Xie Hengyan said: "If possible, I would like to."

Yin Chun said indifferently: "Then your sympathy is too overflowing."

Xie Hengyan was not happy: "Yin Chun, you are too cruel!"

"Obviously you are too naive." Yin Chun said, "In this world, there are so many poor people who suffer and die every day. How big of a heart do you have, can you be busy understanding how unfortunate each of them is?"

"..." Xie Hengyan turned his face away, with a very depressed expression, "I can't say no to you, and I don't want to quarrel with you."

Yin Chun said: "I didn't intend to quarrel with you, I was trying to reason seriously."

"You are here again! Be reasonable and reasonable every day!" Xie Hengyan stood still and looked up at him angrily, "I just sighed a little, Sister Tangshui is working hard, and the little baby is very pitiful... There is nothing wrong with it! "

Yin Chun's expression was numb: "I'm also working very hard, very pitiful. Why don't you know how much you care about me?"

Xie Hengyan: "How could I..."

Wu Qian was sandwiched between the two of them, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he didn't know how to persuade him: "..."

——Having said that, this is still Wuna and Rong Shilian's own business. No matter how they argue in the end, the decision is in the hands of his husband and wife, and no one else can make irresponsible remarks.

Xie Hengyan was dejected, and continued to be depressed for a long time because of the child's departure - but Yin Zhu couldn't understand why a mere foolish puppet could show such enthusiasm for other people's children.

...How much does he like children?

This gave Yin Zhu an inexplicable sense of crisis.It's as if any wild child from anywhere can completely steal Xie Hengyan's mind.

Fortunately, after a long time passed, Xie Hengyan was sad, but she didn't have a particularly big reaction.After falling asleep and waking up, I became much more energetic. It happened to be dinner time, so I packed up and honestly lit a fire to cook.

So, after a while, the pot began to gurgling and steaming. It was boiled fish porridge and vegetable soup, accompanied by a few dishes of salted side dishes. He was trying his best to cover up the sad and heavy atmosphere around him.

Xie Hengyan stood by the stove, looking dazed, motionless halfway through.And Yin Chun seemed to be the lingering ghost, swaying all the way, following behind him, silently staring at people all the time.

"Do you eat rice cakes?" Xie Hengyan asked suddenly.

Yin Chun was slightly taken aback, inevitably a little embarrassed.The two had just quarreled in the morning, and before they could figure out how to reconcile, Xie Hengyan said to him: "Fried rice cakes, no sugar added."

"..." Yin Chun looked at him from the corner of his eye, "Are you not angry with me anymore?"

"I'm not angry with you. Why should I be angry with you... We are always arguing over small things." Xie Hengyan turned her head and brought a big pot of fish porridge to the table. ...Hey, don't stick around, come over to eat. After eating, send it to Brother Wu and his family, and take a look at how Sister Tangshui is doing. "

"Do you really like children?" Yin Zhu suddenly asked.

"..." Xie Hengyan raised her head in doubt, "Why do you ask like that?"

Yin Chun said: "I think Rong Shilian has no child, you are more accepting than her."

"Uh... this, I don't know how to explain it to you. In short, it's a little uncomfortable, but it's not as exaggerated as you said." Xie Hengyan sat next to the chair and served food and vegetables in a proper manner, "Yin Chu, You may not understand... Only when you witness how a child is born, and through all kinds of hardships along the way, come to this world from the mother's womb, will you feel how amazing and amazing it is."

Yin Zhen really doesn't understand, let alone understand.

As far as he is concerned, the so-called bond between mother and child is nothing more than the overwhelming fire that year, and most of his existing memories have already been burned away in the sea of ​​fire.

The only thing left now is the woman's unusually blurry teary eyes, and her two regretful confessions from the burning fire.

——Ah Chun, you...you must not hate me.

——If you died in the first place, maybe this result... is better than anything else.

It was a scar that had been lingering since his childhood and growing up.

In that dark time that could be called a shadow, it was Cheng Daofeng's sudden appearance that gave him an indelible light of salvation throughout his life.

"I don't understand." Yin Zhen said calmly, "There are also irresponsible parents in the world, and children are just waste products that can be thrown away at will. There is nothing great about it."

Xie Hengyan rested her chin on her hands and stared at him intently for a while.After a while, Fang Shi subtly lowered his eyes, and said to him in a very calm voice: "Irresponsibility is just one of thousands of reasons... There are more desperate people in this world. , will make a helpless choice. However, if you can survive later, you will not only rely on your own luck, but may also be accompanied by the bloodshed and sacrifice of the person you love behind. Printing things that you can't see through, you can't rely on your eyes and ears. In addition to speculation, some truths are invisible, and after a long time, no one will know, let alone try to understand."

Yin Zhu had just finished listening to this, and was silently stunned for a long time.

Then he seemed to realize something, looked into Xie Hengyan's eyes, and asked almost without thinking: "Then... can you see it?"

"I'm sorry." Xie Hengyan sneered and knocked on his rice bowl, and said, "I've been blind since I met you."

Yin Chu: "..."

Xie Hengyan urged: "Eat quickly!"

"Yanyan..." Yin Zhu said in a deep voice, "tell me the truth."

"There will be a price for talking nonsense." Xie Hengyan buried her head in the porridge and said, "If you really care about me, don't keep asking people about their privacy."

Yin Chun said, "I'll just ask, do you know my parents?"

"Pfft!" Xie Hengyan was caught off guard by choking, and the white rice that spewed out splashed all over the sky, and then there was a burst of earth-shattering coughing, "cough cough cough...cough cough cough...cough!"

Yin Chun hurriedly stepped forward to pat him on the back: "Hey, are you okay..."

however……

Facing his face, Xie Hengyan spat out all the food he had just eaten with a "woo" sound!

"You...do you have to do this?" Yin Zhu's face turned green immediately, "If you don't want to say it, then don't say it, and I don't want to force you."

Xie Hengyan: "Ugh—"

Yin Chu: "..."

"Actually... I felt like vomiting this morning, and I haven't come out." Xie Hengyan just finished vomiting, took a deep breath, and said in a refreshed manner, "Now I don't have to hold it anymore, ha... It's so refreshing, belch!"

"You are really disgusting."

Yin Chun pinched his nose and said with a headache, "I...don't eat it, go take a shower, it smells all over your body!"

——What the hell is he going crazy to like a puppet like this?

After about evening, the sky gradually darkened.

Xie Hengyan took a shower and changed into clean clothes. She looked good and her mood improved for no reason.On the contrary, Yin Chun was afraid of being tormented by him, and in the end he didn't ask any more questions, and honestly packed the food box, ready to send to Una's house to deliver the meal.

I didn't meet a few acquaintances along the way, probably because the cold winter after the Lantern Festival came too violently, and there were signs of snow in the sky. Every household closed their doors in fear of the cold, and rarely went out at night.

Yin and Xie opened the tent of Una's house, and at this moment the people in the house had almost dispersed, leaving only a few people who had a good relationship with Una on weekdays, who were sparsely watching.Rong Shilian was still paralyzed on the pile of straw, with his eyes closed tightly, half of his face buried in the quilt, and he didn't know whether he was awake or asleep.

Xie Hengyan swept around the tent and asked everyone around, "Where's Brother Wu? You haven't come back yet?"

"No, I came back at noon to take a look." A girl next to me said, "I went out again later, I don't know what I was doing outside."

Another person covered his lips and said, "Maybe... he is dealing with that child."

"Didn't you say it was burned?" Xie Hengyan asked.

"After all, it's my own flesh and blood... how can you say that you can get rid of it if you burn it?" the girls whispered.

"Shhh, don't talk about it." Someone behind reminded, "Be careful if Miss Rong hears it, she might go crazy again."

Xie Hengyan was startled, and stopped asking any more questions, holding the food box in his hand, and went to look at Rong Shilian on the haystack.

"Sister Tangshui, let's eat." Xie Hengyan guessed that she was probably awake, otherwise she wouldn't have covered herself up so tightly, "The fish porridge I'm cooking now is still hot, so eat it to fill your stomach. Only then will I have the strength to get out of bed."

Rong Shilian didn't speak, just nestled under the quilt without moving a bit.

"Sleep." Yin Zhu said abruptly.

"It's not that I'm asleep, I just don't want to move." Xie Hengyan patted her shoulder and said softly, "Get up, everyone is alive and fine, and Brother Wu will accompany you in the future. You have to cheer up quickly, so you can go and accompany you He!"

Rong Shilian finally moved, and turned slightly, revealing a pale side face under the quilt.

"I don't want to eat." She said hoarsely, "...take it away, I have no appetite."

Xie Hengyan tilted her head and looked at Yin Chun. Yin Chun waved her hand, expressing that she had no choice.

"Hey... eat as much as you want. No matter what, you can't treat yourself badly." Xie Hengyan held the food box in both hands and stood aside helplessly.

"Sister Tangshui..."

"Good sister, let's eat..."

"You don't want to eat porridge, why don't you have some soup?"

However, after a long time, Rong Shilian didn't let go, and only asked him: "...Where's Wuna?"

Yin Chun said lightly, "It's outside."

"I've said it all, I don't want to see that monster again, what is he doing outside?" Rong Shilian jumped up from the haystack suddenly, screaming almost collapsed, "He wants to hide that monster secretly Get up? Hidden it now, and then turn it out and show it to me later?"

Xie Hengyan hurriedly said: "No, no, calm down, he is not..."

"Where's Wuna?" Rong Shilian gritted his teeth and stood up, then opened his bloodshot eyes wide, looked at Xie Hengyan, then at Yin Chun, and asked in complete bewilderment, "Did he hide a monster? Didn't I say, let him throw away the monster? Ah?!"

"He said he was going to burn it!" Xie Hengyan couldn't help but said, "Sister Tangshui, please don't be so excited."

Rong Shilian shouted loudly: "I don't believe it! Call Una to me, call me quickly!"

Xie Hengyan said: "He will be back soon."

"No... no, he must have hidden that monster, it must be!" Rong Shilian let out a loud roar, then sat back on the haystack, crying uncontrollably, "Now the whole family Everyone will know... I gave birth to a monster, a monster that is less than six months old... What to do, what to do! I will die... I will definitely die!"

"Sister Tangshui, what are you talking about? That's not a monster, it's just a six-month-old baby, everyone knows it won't survive...how could it be a monster?" Xie Hengyan knelt down and comforted him infinitely gently, " Calm down and eat, okay? Brother Wu will come back soon, and you will know whether the baby has a fever. He has always listened to you the most, and will not hide it secretly."

"I don't believe it!" Rong Shilian roared hysterically, "I want to see him burn with my own eyes! Get Una back... Get him back!"

Xie Hengyan staggered and took a step back, which really frightened her suddenly and ferociously, and was about to tremble and say something, but Yin Chun stepped forward to hold him back, and said to Rong Shilian first: "Don't go crazy No, Una didn't come back, we are only responsible for letting you eat."

When Rong Shilian heard this, she was still unconsciously stunned for a moment - after a while, she realized that her face had turned black and purple, and she was about to cry and start shouting again. Xie Hengyan squeezed Yin Chu down, With a smile on her face, she said to Rong Shilian: "Sister Tangshui, don't cry, I, Yinzhu and I will go right away...I'll find Brother Wu right away, don't cry, don't cry..."

Yin Chun frowned and said, "It's so late, where can I find Una?"

"Just agree first!" Xie Hengyan poked him with an elbow, "I don't think he's going crazy? It's only one step to be stable, do you understand the expedient plan?"

Yin Chu: "..."

Xie Hengyan put down the food box in his hand, and turned to the girls behind him: "Sisters, help her to eat, and I will go and find Brother Wu with Yin Chuan - just go back, be careful, don't let her get out of bed, Be sure to lie down peacefully!"

The girls responded quietly, and a few bolder ones took the food box Xie Hengyan had brought, and went up to feed Rong Shilian.

Seeing this, Xie Hengyan finally let out a sigh of relief, turned around and said to Yin Chun: "Let's go."

Yin Chun asked, "Where are you going?"

Xie Hengyan said: "Look for Brother Wu."

Yin Chun said, "You really are in a hurry."

——Obviously I have a lot of things at hand, but this puppet is as busy as a spinning top, spinning non-stop all the time.

Yin Chun's face showed reluctance, but as soon as Xie Hengyan called out to him, he couldn't help moving his feet.

The two walked out of the tent holding hands, really like a pair of nosy couples in the village - the daughter-in-law jumped up and down around other people's houses all day long, and the husband had to follow silently behind.Anyway, whatever Xie Hengyan likes to do, Yin Zhu insists on getting involved... This phenomenon has not changed since entering the island.But Yin Chuan was still enjoying it, as if no matter what we did with him, as long as we could stay together, even a moment of time would be filled with indescribable satisfaction.

At that time, Xie Hengyan was dressed like a big hairball, walking in front of the cold wind, stretching her neck from time to time to explore the way.Yin Chun was forced to follow behind, clasping his five fingers tightly between the puppet's cold fingers, and couldn't help asking: "Do you know the way? Where do you want to find it?"

"Just follow the road in the morning." Xie Hengyan said, "The whole island is so small, isn't it easy to find someone?"

Yin Chun said: "Are you no longer blind?...I really want to ask, why are you so enthusiastic about other family's affairs?"

Xie Hengyan said: "It's not fanaticism, it's persistence. Yin Zhu, do you trust me? You won't regret doing what you're doing now."

Even though someone said it seriously, the corners of Yin Chun's mouth still twitched: "...I believe you."

The two of them went back and forth, rounded four or five corners in general, and finally ran out of breath. Finally, outside a small dry forest near the beach pier, the tip of their eyes spotted Una's generous and familiar back.

——However, at this moment, he was still holding the dead baby in his arms, facing the sea, standing alone at the end of the pier, letting the dark night light stretch the shadow behind him.
