no puppet

Before his death, the old village chief Yang Deyi said two very similar and meaningful words.

Once, when all the villagers gathered together to chat about the life and death of newborns, everyone showed such an innocuous attitude, which made Yang Deyi feel very sad, so he left the sentence "how innocent is the child?" question.

Another time, when he voluntarily transferred the Yesheng seal to renew Wuna's life, Yang Deyi told Rong Shilian that he should be innocent when he is born again.

These two sentences alone have never been forgotten or gone away in Xie Hengyan's mind until now.

Judging from the planting notes that I unintentionally dug out earlier, the owner of the notes who loved flowers and became obsessed at the beginning probably used the demise of gardenias to refer to something—the "father flower" and "mother flower" that were plundered. ", and the anger and sadness he expressed between the lines, and even shouted hysterically in silence.

Xie Hengyan originally thought that this person only cared about his gardenia flowers that filled the courtyard, or maybe it was the helplessness and emotion of ordinary people when they were oppressed, and then used the form of notes to express the most humble and powerless in their hearts. Just resist.

And now?

"Chen, Chen Lang..."

Xie Hengyan's expression was tense, and he stretched out his hand almost violently, clasping it firmly on Chen Lang's trembling wrist, and then asked word by word: "... tell me, do you know anything? What do you know? Where did you come from, why can't you speak? How are you stupid... Or, you are not stupid at all, you used to pretend?"

Chen Lang couldn't stop crying, but still shook his head desperately: "No, no, no..."

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid! With me here, no one dares to trouble you." Xie Hengyan held his hand and said softly, "Tell me everything you know, I have a way to protect you !...Don't be afraid, don't hide!"

Chen Lang gritted his teeth and struggled: "No, no, no, no!"

Xie Hengyan said angrily: "No, no, no, no, no, no? How can I help you if you refuse to talk about it?"

"No, no, no, you..."

Chen Lang spoke hoarsely, raised his eyes to meet Xie Hengyan's face, and originally wanted to shout something.

——However, soon, he couldn't shout out.

Because Xie Hengyan was very close to him, he could clearly see Chen Lang's entire face turned pale with horror, followed by his eyes widening infinitely, his pupils vibrating violently, and suddenly he showed a distorted expression of extreme horror!

At the same time, shortly after noon, the pier was full of sunshine.

Yin Chun built a wooden shelf near the beach, busy with work, non-stop.On the other hand, Wu Na held a small bench and sat on the shallow water beach, holding a cigarette stick in his mouth, and vomited white mist all over the sky.

"Woman, it's really a magical creature."

Una sighed and said: "You talk about coaxing her, digging your heart and soul, you can't understand how to coax her. Don't coax her, she loves you and ignores you, and she will be excluded wherever she goes... Tell me, why is this? "

Yin Chun was so tired that he was sweating profusely. Hearing these words, he simply answered him in nine words: "I don't know, I don't understand, I haven't tried."

Una suddenly turned around and asked in surprise, "Why, don't you even have women..."

Yin Chun said coldly: "No."

Una yelled, "No way, you're a fucking baby!"

"..." Yin Chun was speechless, "Why are you talking so loudly?"

"No, you...you had no experience at all before you met that little monster?" Una asked in disbelief.

Yin Chu's expression didn't change, he just said: "No."

Una cupped his fists and said with great respect: "I admire, admire!"

Yin Chu: "..."

Una was shocked: "Then dare to ask this hero, how did you go astray?"

"I don't know." Yin Chun turned his head and put on airs, completely ignoring him, "What kind of crooked way is this? Who are you looking for for the rest of your life?"

Wu Na felt incredible: "Do you really plan to live with a monster for the rest of your life? I'm afraid you didn't listen to a single word of what I said to you earlier... Do you really think that taking him out together in the future will make the two of you Will you be able to live happily ever after?"

"Take care of yourself first."

Yin Chun was busy running up and down for their future ship frame.The Una on the other end seemed to be an idler, and he had to find something to talk to him when he had nothing to say, which seemed very boring, so Yin Chun walked over, threw a pile of wood at him, and said mercilessly: "You If you have time to think about something, why don’t you come over and help out together. When the old village chief was still around, he was never as idle as you were.”

"I..." Una flicked the cigarette stick in his hand, and jumped up from the stool, and went forward to question him, "Where am I free?!"

Yin Chun didn't speak, and continued to straighten the wooden frame, but from the corner of his eyes, intentionally or unintentionally, he glanced at Una's rough and heroic side face.

To be honest, the daughter he held dear to his heart like a treasure did not look like him himself—even though the child was still young, he couldn't see why.But since the baby was born, Yin Chun has carefully looked at it several times, and I don't know whose facial features follow the appearance. It looks weak, but in fact, the viability inside is stronger than anything else... After all, it is with Wuna and Rong Neither Shilian nor Shi Lian could match each other.

Naturally, it is also possible that Yin Zhu was thinking wildly.Sometimes if you look at a person with prejudice, no matter how you look at her, you will feel that something is wrong, it is not pleasing to the eye, and you can't stand it no matter what.

Yin Chun doesn't like that child, but in front of Xie Hengyan, he usually chooses not to mention a word.Only when Una stood by, dangling around, he would think a lot unconsciously.

Yin Chun hesitated for a long time, finally couldn't hold back, and asked him: "So, if Rong Shilian never wants to have that child... what are you going to do after that? Are you going to leave it to Xie Hengyan to raise him for the rest of his life?"

"I don't know." Una said.

Yin Chu finally got a little impatient: "..."

"If there is a chance in the future, if you can really go to sea, I think...Brother Yin, you must have a lot more relatives and friends outside than me." Una's expression seemed casual, but his heavy voice did not As if the cloud is calm and the wind is light, "It's better to find a rich family for the child, so that he can adopt it. Girls can read more books, see the world, or stay at home honestly and learn some female celebrities, and gradually develop a good personality. A good-looking lady of the family—it doesn’t have to be like his father, who was born a rough man with no ink in his stomach, and he can make jokes for others if he says anything he wants.”

As soon as these words came out, Yin Chun immediately fell silent.

Una tilted his head and asked, "Brother Yin, what do you think?"

Yin Chun said: "...that is your daughter."

"Of course I'm reluctant." Una closed her eyes, trying to calm herself down, "But, if you have to choose between the child and Lianmei...I'll choose Lianmei."

"..." Yin Chun said dumbly, "It's easy for you to say."

"Actually, I even thought of a name for her. It's called 'Wu Nian'. I miss it, I miss it." Una said with a wry smile. The place I went to... Maybe I will miss her so much for the rest of my life."

Wu Nian?

The name is as straightforward as his biological father.

Yin Chun raised his eyebrows: "You still want to find a step for yourself in advance."

Una shook her head and sighed, "There's no other way - because I love Lianmei, no matter what happens, I will stand by her side unconditionally."

Yin Chun mocked: "I can't see that you are so infatuated that you can do everything for a woman."

Una said: "And what about you? Brother Yin, I personally think...you definitely can't do this."

Yin Chun said: "You know, I can't do it?"

Una said confidently: "You can't do it. Let's wait and see!"

Yin Chun's thin lips moved slightly, and Fang was about to continue to refute. Suddenly, a very familiar voice sounded from the other side of the beach, and the two turned their heads at the same time—then saw Wu Qian running along the gravel road with a golden needle all the way away, Opening his voice, he shouted at Yin Chun: "Brother, don't touch brother——"

Yin Chun was a little surprised, this kid didn't call him Una, what did he come here to call him?

Wu Na also became surprised: "This bastard boy, he quit his work and ran to the village entrance to play with dogs!"

"You can't touch brother, come here!" Wuqian's voice was almost broken, and now he was full of anxiety, standing still and waving at Yin Chun, "Come here, go to the forest, Yanyan's side Something big happened—”

All of a sudden, I only heard a "buzz" in my head, and before Yin Chu could react, the whole person followed that sentence - completely exploded, like a deaf person... stunned.

"What did you say?" Fortunately, Una's voice was loud, and a loud shout instantly pierced the sky, "Say it again?"

After Wu Qian heard the jump, he hurriedly repeated: "I said—let my brother go into the woods! Yan Yan is injured!! He has an accident!! Can you hear me clearly?"

"It is said that he climbed on the roof to dry the fish."

"It just finished raining, and the place was wet and slippery. If I didn't pay attention, I... well, the main reason is that there were not many people present at the time, so I fell silently and passed out immediately. Discover."

"This...what's the matter! The monster can still fall unconscious? What kind of monster is he?"

"Why can't it be broken? Go over and see for yourself, the bones are all broken, it's a tragedy..."

Yin Chun's face was ashen, and he pushed aside the crowd of onlookers just now, and his feet were weak when he walked along the road, and finally arrived near the open space in front of the wooden house. Pointing at the scene, gossiping endlessly.There are also people who have a good relationship with Xie Hengyan on weekdays, and besides being anxious to get angry, they don't know what to do to help.

There are even sharp-eyed people who noticed the huge keel they laid for the shipbuilding, and couldn't help sighing, saying that the prototype of this big ship has not appeared for more than ten years, and now it is really visible at a glance, as if in a dream, everywhere. A sense of unreality.

"Where is Xie Hengyan?"

Yin Chun's voice was trembling, his voice seemed to be forced out of his throat, as if he was indescribably frightened and panicked; "...Where is Xie Hengyan!"

Seeing the Lord coming, all the villagers gathered in a dark crowd, and spread out in all directions like an ebb tide, consciously making way for him.

Yin Chun, however, was walking in a fluttering state, as if his hands and feet were not his own, and he basically relied on Una to push behind with his palm.

"Don't panic, don't panic, what a big deal!" Una said, and then raised his voice to tell everyone, "Get out of the way, don't get in the way! Where is that little monster?"

"Over there, over there, the little idiot of the Chen family will watch over there!" an enthusiastic person pointed the way.

Yin Chun staggered forward, before he was ready to pass, he looked up and saw the snow-white figure of Chen Lang sitting on his knees, beside Xie Hengyan with his eyes half closed, with his head resting on Chen Lang's knee as a pillow, now twisted and twisted. Lying on the ground, motionless, not even breathing from a distance, it really looks like a lifeless dead thing.

Immediately afterwards, a villager came over and explained: "None of us dared to touch him. Your friend looks like he has fallen apart... just a little touch, and even the bones will fall off!" Handing it to Yin Chun, he said nervously: "Look, it fell out of him, I don't know which piece it is, and we didn't have the guts to help him put it on... Hey, take it slowly, don't put it on." , don't shake."

Yin Chuan looked down at the thing, and his heart suddenly sank—it was obvious that the hard wood texture was particularly smooth when rubbed, and nine out of ten it was an important joint supporting the puppet's limbs.

"Xie Hengyan?"

Yin Chu squatted down, feeling his heart was beating wildly in the burning fire, and a certain kind of extremely uneasy premonition came to him spontaneously, forcing him to choose to be blind, almost unwilling, or dare not, to look directly at the puppet on the ground.

However, the bloody facts were right in front of him, and he could glimpse the familiar figure by tilting his head.He was supposed to be as usual, jumping up and down happily, throwing himself into Yin Chun's arms with a playful smile and acting like a baby.

But when Yin Chun came to him, he tried to gently hold those little hands that were always cold, but found that the puppet really couldn't move.

No smiley, no response, he has nothing now.Some are just dirty, covered with dirt and dust, rough linen clothes, and broken and twisted joints of hands and feet, with hideous and terrifying bruises in many places.

——Xie Hengyan has always been very afraid of the cold, and is used to wearing very thick inner and outer robes, which are hard wrapped into a round ball of hair.If one looks at it from the outside, it is hard to imagine how much his fragile viscera...will be injured.

At this moment, Yin Chun was sticking to the side of the puppet, squatting without saying a word, his throat was dry and he could not make a sound at all.

He would have liked to call him.

Later found that nothing can be done.

Because he is a puppet, he is a log that cannot move.The source of all life depends on the existence of the seal of karma as the current single support.

Yin Chun only learned how to subdue demons, but never knew how to heal demons.

Even minor ailments are fine.But he has a powerful ability, even if no one can match it, he will be able to travel all over the world in the future, eliminating demons and saving the world - but he will definitely not be able to save his powerless lover in front of him.Like most of the villagers around him, he could only stare at him helplessly, but he was completely unable to take any action.

"What the hell are you doing squatting stupidly, watching a play?"

Una suddenly exploded with a loud voice, then pushed away the crowd suddenly, and shouted loudly from behind: "Don't you love him the most? Hurry up, save him, where did he fall? You just stare like that Look, can you wake people up?"

After saying that, he strode forward, almost without thinking, grabbing Xie Hengyan's hind legs with both hands, and was about to carry him on his shoulders——Yin Chun had reacted in advance, stood up suddenly, and opened Una's arms, sharply He shouted: "Don't touch!"

"Hiss..." Una's ears were buzzing, and he was frightened out of his wits. "Are you crazy? People fall like this, why don't you carry them back to rest?"

"No, yes, lift."

It was still Chen Lang who was smart, knelt on the spot from the beginning to the end, and let Xie Hengyan lie on his lap, treating himself as a cushion: "He, fell, hit, closed, joint. Touch, just, meet, break up."

Una said in a daze, "What, what?"

"He's not an ordinary demon...he's a wooden puppet." Yin Chun said in a low voice, "It won't fall."

"There is also this kind of precious monster that can't be thrown? I've never heard of it before." Una said dumbfounded, "Why did you fall like this?"

Chen Lang paused, with a look of hesitation on his face.Seeing that he was struggling to speak, a villager next to him helped him and said, "How else could he fall? This little monster is on the roof, probably to dry fish and meat. At such a high place, a person could slip and fall to his death... You said that if this wood goes up, can it not be smashed into pieces?"

"What did you say?" Yin Zhu asked incredulously, "What is he doing on the roof?"

"Drying fish and meat..."

As soon as these words came out, Una suddenly shut up, coughed twice, and dared not speak at all.Yin Chun, however, seemed to have been punched in the head, and squatted beside Xie Hengyan in a daze, holding his cold little hand, his heart was paralyzed for a moment, his mind was full of messy noises. It's auspicious, it will get better and better in the sun after hanging for a long time... These words are all said by Xie Hengyan, and the words are still in my ears.At that moment alone, Yin Chun felt that he had become deaf. He seemed to be deaf, so he could only tremble and said to the villager in doubt: "You...you say it again. What is he going to do on the roof... ?”

The villagers saw that he was also pitiful, so they patiently repeated the words: "He went to the roof to dry fish and meat. But the soles of his feet slipped and he fell down by accident-is this clear enough? "

"Then... where's the meat?" Yin Zhu asked stiffly.

"Here, it's all broken, and I only picked up a few skewers." Someone later brought up the fish, and it was also thrown into pieces, most of which were covered with grass clippings and dirt. After crawling into the insects and ants, it is already inedible..."

Little did he know that what Yin Zhu really cared about was not whether the salted fish and bacon were intact or not—but from the bottom of his heart, he couldn't accept such absurd reason at all!

It was so ridiculous that he couldn't believe it when he said it.The fish meat was originally hung around his neck by Xie Hengyan, asking him to take it home to dry, but what happened?Yin Chunfei got into a petty mood, held on to that little word, and the two of them tossed back and forth for a long time, and finally Xie Hengyan said that he should let him hang the meat on the wooden roof, lest Una would keep smoking on it.

So, who did this "blessing" fall on?

This time, Yin Zhen was really stupid.He stared at the strings of dirty fish in his hand, wishing he could hang them all over his body now, honestly bring them home, and don't let Xie Hengyan touch them.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, standing around not far away, seeing that Yin Chu refused to speak for a long time, they all thought that this guy was sick with grief, probably crazy.

In fact, Yin Zhen is indeed going crazy, and there is no cure.

He couldn't help but look back at Una, but Una's thoughts were not all here.The surroundings were noisy and chaotic, and the first thing this father could think of... was his precious daughter who looked like a demon.

"Hey, people and flesh have fallen like this, where is Lao Tzu's daughter?" Una growled, "Where is my daughter?!"

Chen Lang comprehended, raised his hand, and pointed to a girl with a baby in her arms at the back of the crowd.

"Mr. Wu, don't worry." The girl stretched out her index finger and made a silent gesture towards the men, "The child is fine, she is here with me."

Una didn't say a word, didn't care about anything else, and jumped on it even rolling and crawling.

Yin Chun held Xie Hengyan's hand, and since that moment, his expression was tense, and his eyes were extremely cold.

At this very moment, his puppet, his Xie Hengyan, was collapsing unconsciously on the ground. His bones were dislocated, his body was covered in bruises, and he couldn't move at all... and the "weak" baby who was inseparable from the puppet was not injured at all. , Nesting in someone else's arms with a peaceful face, she was sleeping very soundly, as if she was having a sweet dream that she didn't want to wake up from.

The incident of Xie Hengyan falling from the wooden house quickly swept through every corner of Yongcun like a tornado.

All the villagers expressed surprise upon hearing this, but...they were not very surprised.This puppet is usually stupid, and it seems that there is always a muscle in its head. Although its work is unambiguous, there are occasional bumps. What.It feels like he has uncoordinated limbs and is an inflexible monster, so it is completely within the expected range to hear that he accidentally slipped and fell while climbing the roof.

However, he was able to fall so badly with a monster, it was really beyond everyone's expectations.Logically speaking, monsters are born with a karma mark to protect their body, no matter how serious the injury is, as long as it doesn't hurt the demon mark that is equivalent to the heart, it can heal on its own.

And it is said that no one who was present at the time dared to touch him rashly, because the moment he touched it, he would fall apart immediately. Those who didn't know it thought he was made of crystal, but later found out that it was wood, and it was not the usual kind of wood with roots. demon.

Yin Chu called that thing a puppet, but now what can support him to stand up is all fragile dead wood, which will collapse if it falls, and will rot when exposed to water.Maybe after a few years, people will gradually wither and become less useful... It's just like the doll in the palm of your hand, and it's not as long as the doll's preservation time.

——It is estimated that in the next n days, Yin Zhu will be worried about these strings of fish meat

Xie Hengyan: The problem is not this lump of fish at all! ! !
