no puppet

In fact, a long time ago, when he had no intention of talking with Xie Hengyan, Yin Chun had made similar guesses.But at the time, I didn't think too much about it, and Xie Hengyan's attitude was tough and always ambiguous. Yin Zhu was too lazy to entangle those word games, so he seldom guessed about the hidden secrets behind it.

Later, I gradually realized that some accidents are not accidental, and some accidents are deliberately done.

Just like that night in Fuze Mountain one year ago, Yin Chun accidentally twisted Xie Hengyan's arm, but he didn't apologize in time, but said indifferently: There is no distinction between good and evil for monsters. Existence is obliteration.

Xie Hengyan's eyes were red, and she asked back: ... But have I ever hurt you?

Has he ever hurt me?Yin Chun didn't believe it at the time, but chose to question it.

Now when I think back on those old things in the past, I realize that this stupid, stupid puppet in front of me seems to just follow him, and just likes to cling.

"What happened before I was brought to Tongjing Island... I didn't even reveal a word to Xie Cong." Xie Hengyan turned his head with great effort, and fixedly stared into Yin Chun's eyes.As if after a long time, Shicai said word by word, very cautiously, "In my karmic seal, there is a curse left by the original owner. Everything that should not be said and cannot be said, once spoken, The demon seal will definitely be broken because of this... Whether it is you or me, even if you already know it well, you must never raise a word, even if you just ask."

When these words came out, Yin Chun raised his eyes suddenly, the meaning in his eyes was unclear, and apart from being shocked and bewildered, there was also a strong sense of sadness spontaneously.

His expression moved slightly, his throat kept trembling, and he tried to say something several times, but in the end he still pursed his lips and bowed his head, silently hugging the puppet in his arms even tighter.

"So..." Xie Hengyan took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and said hesitantly, "So, I..."

"I know. I understand." Yin Zhu whispered, "You don't have to say it, it's okay, I understand."

"I'm not trying to lie to you." Xie Hengyan insisted, "'But the words you asked, I... can't say it, if I say it, I will die." He tugged on Yin Chu's sleeve again, afraid that he would not be forgiven , I was even more afraid of not being believed by him, so I explained over and over again, "Yinzhu, I... don't want to die so soon, I want to live longer, at least until the day I take the boat to sea. Obviously, for half a year, we have been living together Let’s work hard together so that we can have a chance to go out in the future.”

"I know, I know." Yin Chun repeated.Then he cupped the puppet's warm side cheeks with both hands, rubbed it lightly and said, "I won't ask, and I won't mention it. Let's both stop talking, okay?"

Xie Hengyan shook her head vigorously, still clenched his sleeves tightly, her almond eyes were wide open, filled with hasty tears at that time.He couldn't help grabbing Yinzhu desperately, and kept asking: "Yinzhu, do you...dislike me? You don't want me to be your daughter-in-law?"

Yin Chun was obviously taken aback, and before he had time to refute, Xie Hengyan whispered into his ear again, and asked dryly: "Can't we be a husband and wife? In the future, you will marry another woman... Ah, hey, what are you doing?" ...!"

Before he finished speaking, he was already lifted up by the whole child. Yin Chun hugged Xie Hengyan like a big baby, put him back on the bed, pulled the quilt aside, and covered him tightly .Xie Hengyan was stunned, and wanted to bend his elbows, but Yin Chun had one free hand, squeezed his shoulders and forced the person back, Xie Hengyan still had to continue to struggle, Yin Chun simply pressed forward, with both arms locked by the side of the puppet , and at the same time bent his knees between his legs, and ordered coldly: "Don't move!"

"..."

Xie Hengyan didn't dare to move any more, she huddled in the quilt and looked at him silently, with only two eyes turning around, as if she didn't know what to do.

Yin Chun didn't speak anymore, after a while, he just lowered his head and lowered his eyes, focusing on Xie Hengyan's eyebrows and eyes.

——Twenty years have passed, and he knows nothing about his past.Only when I was haunted by nightmares every night and tossed and tossed, could I find some traces related to the past from the distant and vague memory fragments.

Among them, the one who has been forgotten the most and suffered the longest is Xie Hengyan who was already bruised and bruised in front of him and beside him.

But Yin Chun completely forgot about him.At that time, I wanted to ask clearly, but I couldn't open my mouth.

"Do you hate me?" Xie Hengyan asked uncertainly.

Yin Chun was silent for a long time, unable to give an answer.Xie Hengyan shrank her neck, buried her head in the quilt, and stopped letting him see her face.

Yin Chun just woke up, stretched out his hand to hook the sleeve of the puppet, and also leaned closer and asked: "...Then do you hate me?"

"..." Xie Hengyan's voice was muffled, "Why do you ask like that?"

Yin Chun said, "I seem to have... done a lot, and I'm sorry for what you did."

Xie Hengyan paused when she heard that, and didn't know how to reply.

"I'm a very bad person." Yin Chun continued, "What happened when I was a child... I have completely forgotten it, and I still can't remember it now."

"You still say!" Xie Hengyan suddenly said hurriedly, "Do you want to see me evaporate in place?"

Yin Zhen hurriedly shut up and said, "I'm sorry."

Xie Hengyan: "..."

Yin Chuan stepped forward and hugged his head, and said again: "I'm sorry..."

He said sorry twice in a row.

Once, it was just because of the talent, and I almost confiscated the conversation.

The other time was to apologize to Xie Hengyan for what he did in the past 20 years, especially in the year after the reunion.

That tingling feeling was like returning to Xie Cong's boat that night, when Yin Chun was furious at the scarred puppet, venting his anger almost crazily.And the puppet did not say a word from the beginning to the end, and did not even make any resistance, which made Yin Zhu feel very guilty later, as if no matter what he did, he could not fill the gap between them.

Now this guilt surged up again, and it was stronger than before, strange, restless, and even indescribable fear and anxiety.

——It seemed that Yin Zhu was going to lose him in the next moment, and this made Yin Zhu feel more frightened and panicked than any other thing.

At this moment, there was a rustling sound in the thick quilt, and there was a subtle sound.Xie Hengyan stretched out a small hand, moving lightly and slowly, and took the initiative to cover the back of Yin Chun's hand.

At that moment, Yin Chun couldn't hold back his trembling voice: "...Xie Hengyan?"

"You didn't... sorry for me."

Xie Hengyan's cheek was pressed against the quilt, her voice was also very vague, and she seemed to have no strength: "I am your wife in the first place. No matter what I do for you, it should be taken for granted."

When Yin Chun heard this, his throat choked slightly, although his heart was full of endless sweetness and satisfaction, but what was revealed in his expression was full of bitterness and torment.

Xie Hengyan thought for a while, then added: "I mean, if..."

Yin Chu: "What if?"

Xie Hengyan lowered his voice very low: "If, you are still willing to recognize me...recognize me as yours..."

——When the words fell, Yin Zhu lowered his head, and he kissed Xie Hengyan's lips, separated by a thick quilt.

Then the bridge of the nose, then the forehead, even the eyes, and finally the half-exposed top of the hair... The position of each kiss is just right and impartial.

"Why do I deny you?" Yin Chun asked him, "Why should I deny you?"

Xie Hengyan said numbly: "I am a log."

Yin Chun said: "I want wood, only wood!"

Xie Hengyan said stubbornly: "I'm just a piece of wood!"

"...Then we'll go to sea together." Yin Chun said firmly, "When that happens, go find a carpenter outside and repair all the old and new injuries, and you will no longer be a piece of broken wood!"

Xie Hengyan shouted: "Where is a carpenter who repairs puppets?"

"The best carpenter in the world." Yin Chun said, "I'll find it for you! Before this, I will take care of your daily life personally."

"I..." Xie Hengyan was aggrieved, "I don't need you to take care of me!"

Yin Chun stubbornly said: "But I need you!"

"..."

Only this time, Xie Hengyan, who was always eloquent, was completely defeated by that clumsy Yin Chun, who didn't even have room to refute.

But the best carpenter in the world... Isn't that Xie Cong?

At least Xie Hengyan thought so.Except for Xie Cong, no one else in this world can repair him, and Yin Chung took him to find Xie Cong, and it was bound to be another bloodbath. At that time, the world would be turned upside down, and everyone would fall on their backs. Among the three of them, the one who suffered the most was still Xie Hengyan himself.

But he thought so much at once...it was actually useless.According to the current situation of Ye Shengyin, can he survive until the day he goes to sea?

Yin Chun said, "You must marry me."

Xie Hengyan: "You..."

Yin Chun said again: "I don't want anyone, I just want broken wood. I just want to marry you——Xie Hengyan!"

"I...really." Xie Hengyan let out a deep breath, and then said helplessly, "I can't say no to you."

"You promise me!" Yin Zhu said in a deep voice.

"Yin Chun." Xie Hengyan said, "The world is unpredictable. No one knows what tomorrow will be like."

"That's good." Yin Chun turned around, walked towards the table, chairs and benches next to the bed, and began to drag them in a hurry. Xie Hengyan pricked up his ears and asked him, "What are you doing?"

Yin Chun didn't look back: "Set the tables and chairs, and we'll get married in the wooden house."

"Hey..." Xie Hengyan almost lost her soul when she heard this, "Don't make a fuss...don't make a fuss! This is a major event in life, how can you just do it as soon as you say it?"

Yin Chun said: "In the future, we will marry each other and worship heaven and earth. You will be my legitimate daughter-in-law."

Xie Hengyan said in shock: "Hey! Come back... come back, don't delay, it's late at night, let no one sleep!"

After speaking, he lifted the quilt and struggled to get off the bed, but he couldn't use his legs at this time, and just lost his center of gravity, he staggered forward, but Yin Chuan turned around in time and shouted: "Be careful!" Stepping forward quickly, the puppet plunged headfirst into his arms, and fell with a heavy, muffled sound.

"Hiss..." Xie Hengyan's leg hurts, his head hurts, and his heart hurts. Although he has no heart, he still grins his teeth in pain, "You... what's wrong with you, you were infected by the fisherman's spirit of Una Is it?"

Yin Chun didn't dare to be busy anymore, hurriedly embraced Xie Hengyan, moved the fragile puppet back to the bed, pushed it all the way to the innermost end, and then separated it with the bedding and pillows to prevent him from rolling towards the bottom of the bed in agitation.

"What do you think you... are you going to make a fuss about?" Xie Hengyan said with a huge headache, "Brother Wu made a fuss just now, are you going to tear down our house too?"

Yin Chun was scolded as Una by him, and suddenly felt that his self-esteem had been severely hit: "I just want to marry you as soon as possible."

"If you want to get married early, it shouldn't be in the middle of the night." Xie Hengyan said, "It's just the two of us... so lonely, you know that I like to be lively, but you choose the most deserted time."

——At that time, only heaven and earth will know, you will know and I will know, and no third person will know.It starts coldly, and ends coldly at the end. Maybe when I am gone, you will really be alone and lonely. Use the longest time of the rest of your life to remember the past.

Xie Hengyan originally wanted to say this, but after seeing the tense expression on his eyes, he finally didn't say any more words of rejection.After thinking about it for a while, Fang hesitated and said: "Otherwise. Look at me, I have been very ill recently, and my foot injury is still not healed. You..."

Yin Chun: "I can carry you on my back."

Xie Hengyan: "Listen to me, can you?"

Yin Chun stopped talking, pursed his thin lips, and stared straight ahead at him with his cold eyes.

"I promise you, when the big ship at the dock is built, we will get married right away, on the big ship." Xie Hengyan stretched out her little finger, her almond eyes slightly curved, and took the initiative to hook him up, "Before that, I was also you Righteous daughter-in-law, you can do whatever you want to me...is that okay?"

Yin Chun frowned slightly, obviously unwilling.

Xie Hengyan said again: "Husband, are you okay?"

Yin Chun asked, "You promise not to lie to me?"

Xie Hengyan turned her head and kissed him on the forehead: "I won't lie to you."

Yin Chun raised his eyes and looked at him deeply: "You said that."

Xie Hengyan nodded: "I said it."

"...Okay." Yin Chun finally compromised, slowly stretched out his hand, and hooked it with his little finger.

Xie Hengyan breathed a sigh of relief, but not long after, Yin Chun stood up again, Xie Hengyan was afraid that he would make some more demands, but waited silently for a long time, but Yin Chun just sat on the side of the bed, close to Xie Hengyan's position , stuck close to him.

Xie Hengyan: "What's wrong?"

Yin Chun shook his head, poked out his knuckles, and touched his heart carefully: "Your place... still hurts?"

"It doesn't hurt." Xie Hengyan whispered, "I'm fine now."

Yin Chun asked seriously: "Is it really all right? Those bone needles..."

"No, don't worry about the bone needles. I have always felt that they are not much of a hindrance. Especially just now, the Ye Shengyin almost..." Xie Hengyan paused, did not continue, and only changed his mouth, "Fortunately, there are bone needles here , it did not collapse directly."

"Otherwise... I'll take another look?" Yin Chun frowned, "It's no small matter to pierce the heart with a bone needle. It might not be a good idea to keep it."

Xie Hengyan quickly waved his hand: "Don't look at it, don't look at it. After all, Xie Cong made this thing. Only he knows how to solve it. No matter what other people come up with, it may cause damage to the Yesheng Seal."

Yin Chun said: "Then what should we do? Just let them tie like this?"

"Let them stick first, it's better than taking them out."

After Xie Hengyan finished speaking, she couldn't help but yawned with tears in her eyes. This time, she was really tired. After a whole day of hard work, she didn't stop for a moment at night.

Yin Chun was also tired, turned over and lay down beside him, and tucked the quilt up for the two of them at the right time, Xie Hengyan said: "Oh, I can't take it... Today, I was supposed to look for Chen Lang, but after making a fuss, brother Wu had an accident. Wu Nian almost disappeared. Their family is really too troublesome, and my whole body is about to collapse."

Yin Chun was already full of thoughts. Although he was staying in the house, his mind had already drifted to more than 20 years ago, the old incident on the scene of the fire, his biological mother who fled, and Xie Hengyan who suddenly appeared-now suddenly appeared. However, when Wu Nian was mentioned, he came back from his dream, and with a jerk, he shouted: "Xie Hengyan!"

However, the person next to him did not give an answer.

At that time, the night was dark, there was a drizzle outside the window, and the sea breeze came and went, all of which could be heard endlessly.

——When Yin Chun stretched out his hand and touched the paper-thin body of the puppet, his expression changed instantly as if struck by lightning!

Xie Hengyan's illness was endless.

Before, she was only in a coma due to high fever, but now she came back from a trip and lay down beside the bed, falling asleep unconsciously.

Perhaps for the puppet, this is not a disease at all, it can only be said that the wooden body is too old, and the karma seal is difficult to integrate with the body, so the demon seal cannot heal the injury, so it can only be dragged so hard for one person and one seal. In the end, it completely failed, and the puppet became a complete piece of broken wood.

According to several experienced tree planters in the village, the wooden body of Xie Mu has been tossing back and forth for at least 30 years, and it has been away from the roots for too long, so it is easy to become a dead wood that cannot be planted. It is perishable, easy to rot and easy to break. Maybe after another ten or a half years, this wooden body will be boiled until there is not even ash left, let alone something that can be used to revive it.

It's not that Yin Chun doesn't understand these principles, but once things happen to Xie Hengyan, he just feels that everything becomes very absurd.

Lying in front of him was his unmarried daughter-in-law.He eats porridge for three meals on weekdays, and when he is not sick, the amount of food is calculated according to the barrel. Xie Hengyan, who is the food that ordinary people love to eat, does not fall behind. Herbs were of no use to him either.

Yin Chun fed him like before, but he didn't hide anymore, but his lips were tightly closed when he was asleep. No matter what method Yin Chun used to pry him, push him, or directly slap him, he insisted Not even a single grain of rice could fit in.

"Yanyan, take a bite."

"Yanyan..."

"You at least...you should take a bite." Yin Chun said in an almost pleading tone, "How can you survive without food? Even a god will starve to death."

The only good news is that this lethargy didn't last too long.Holding a job bowl, Yin Chun tremblingly waited until midnight the next day, and finally saw the puppet wake up as he wished—but his condition was obviously not as good as before. He stared at the ceiling, his eyes were foggy and dull, and he didn't move from the beginning to the end.

Yin Chun yelled several times from the side, but got no response. He even refused to eat when he was fed, and he couldn't even open his mouth subconsciously. Finally, he helped him to lie down and sleep well, but he never closed his eyes.

"Yanyan, you promised that you would not lie to me." Yin Chun took his hands, already anxious, "Didn't you say that we would go to sea together after the ship was built? You even lied to me? "

As a result, at this time, Xie Hengyan gave an inexplicable "hmm" and nodded lightly in line with his expression.

Yin Chun couldn't laugh or cry, and didn't know whether to be sad or happy for a moment, holding the bowl of cold gruel in his hand, stroking Xie Hengyan's forehead over and over again, and said: "Are you awake? Can you hear me?" ?”

Xie Hengyan still nodded, and said inarticulately: "...Yes."

"Then, shall we have dinner?" Yin Chun slowed down his voice and tried to coax him, "We'll go to sleep after our stomach is full."

"it is good."

After saying that, when Yin Chuan turned around to heat the porridge, his eyelids gradually sank, he curled back into the quilt again, and fell asleep quietly.

——This continued several times. For nearly three days, Xie Hengyan woke up intermittently and fell asleep intermittently. During one time when he woke up, Yin Chuan successfully fed him rice soup, but he didn't drink much, and he fell into a coma again. In a daze, he turned his head and nestled under the quilt, like a cat that was too sleepy.

But no matter how the cat sleeps, it is always lively and active when it wakes up.And Xie Hengyan slept endlessly, and every time he woke up, he didn't say anything. Sometimes Yin Chun asked too many questions, and then he could barely answer a word or two, and then he turned over and fell asleep again after a while, only telling Yin Put it aside and ignore it.

On the fourth day, Lao Wang Lao Zhang and the others came once, but it was not a special trip to visit the sick, but to urgently urge the blueprints for various accessories in the ship.Now that Xie Hengyan has completely fallen ill, and Yin Chun is by his side every step of the way, the entire shipbuilding process after that is the loss of the two biggest backbones.

But in fact, without them at present, the ship can be built little by little. After all, the laying of the keel in the early stage was very successful.The only troublesome part in the later stage is the miscellaneous parts. They have high requirements for drawings and fine details. What ordinary people can't draw or have the patience to draw, the whole island can be easily made by only a few puppets.

And what to do now?

All the shipwrights saw Xie Hengyan's condition at a glance, and their hearts thumped, and they keenly sensed that something was wrong.

"Looking at it like this, the picture can no longer be drawn." Lao Wang cut to the chase and said directly to Yin Chun, "Then our shipbuilding progress has to be suspended."

Yin Chun felt even more anxious: "Can't we do something else first?"

"If there is no detailed drawing comparison, small parts cannot be made on the spot." Lao Zhang spread his hands and explained helplessly, "Otherwise, the sea-going ship that cuts corners and materials will fall apart within a few steps into the water. Don't Speaking of leaving this sea area...I'm afraid you won't even be able to go out to the beach pier."

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Big boss: I'll just cross my legs at home, wait for you to beg me, come beg me, beg me and I'll save him.

Yin Chun: A hero must have a backbone, and cannot easily bow to evil forces.

Xie Hengyan (Er Kang's hands): Go and beg him, labor and management don't want to play Sleeping Beauty anymore, if you don't beg him, I'll crowdfund two prosthetics and go beg him.

Yin Chun: Makes sense (takes out the phone), I think crowdfunding for prosthetics is more reliable than begging for a boss.
