no puppet

"Tongjing Island?" The woman looked at her husband silently after listening.The two were silent for a while, Fang tilted his head strangely, stared at Xie Hengyan in a daze, and said, "You said... you came from Tongjing Island?"

"Yes, yes." Xie Hengyan said timidly, "What's the problem?"

"No...no problem." The woman shook her head, then turned around, took a piece of clothing from the bow, and slowly put it on Xie Hengyan's shoulders, "Then what...it's cool at night, you should wear more first. Wait a while Once we land, go change into clean and warm clothes..."

Xie Hengyan was still in a daze, she didn't expect her to be so enthusiastic all of a sudden, so she knelt down for a long time before whispering to the couple: "Thank you..."

The woman turned her head abruptly, and shouted to her husband again: "Master, what are you still doing? Hurry up and go back on the boat!"

"Ah... ah, oh!" The man was stunned, and then he reacted, slapped his head, and turned to support the penny, "That's right, it's so late, let's go back soon!"

After finishing speaking, he bent down hard, and really explored the way forward with two paper lanterns, and started to rock the boat together.

"Where did you plan to go?" the woman asked, "If you drop by on the way, we can give you a ride."

Xie Hengyan's expression was still blank, and it took a long time before he replied: "... I don't know."

At the end, he added: "My wife and I originally only wanted to leave the island. We haven't decided where we want to go. We planned to talk about it later, who knows..."

"That's really pitiful." The woman said, "Near our coast, there are people like you who lose their wives and children every year... But usually most of them encounter sea monsters making trouble, and the fishermen around generally don't. Put that guts on board."

"I... I'm really not a monster, you can rest assured that I will never hurt anyone!" Xie Hengyan raised her hands tremblingly with a thought in her arms, and swore to the sky, "I just want to take my life back now. , It’s enough to survive. Brother and sister have helped me a lot this time, and in the future I... I will definitely try my best to repay it!”

The woman waved her hand, meaning don't care.The man on the other side of the boat said, "Then... what are your plans now? Where do you want to go?"

Xie Hengyan looked around, then looked down at Wu Nian, and said: "... Where is this place? You can go home on the way, can you look around carefully—I have bad eyesight, I'm afraid I might lose my daughter-in-law I can't find him, and I'm worried that something will happen to him."

Just as the man was about to say something, the woman spoke first, and said to Xie Hengyan: "Yes, yes, of course I can. After all, human life is at stake, just wait patiently for a while... My husband has always been very fast at punting." , there will be two lights here, we will look for them in a circle around. "

"That's really...really bothering you too much!"

Xie Hengyan was already exhausted and had no strength left. At that time, he held Wu Nian with one hand and looked at the vast mist on the sea in front of him. He couldn't see anything, and he couldn't see anything clearly. There are Wuqian Xiaozhou and the others who went to sea together before... If he is the only one lucky enough to escape from the barrier among all the people, then it would be better not to be lucky.

Xie Hengyan closed her eyes, her mind was full of bad thoughts.

——If he lost even the seal, then what's the point of him living in this world?It's just half a piece of useless and an eyesore. He would rather find a corner where no one is around, and slowly hide by himself until it rots.

"Little brother, are you really from Tongjing Island?" Suddenly, the man who punted the boat asked.

"Yes... That's right." Xie Hengyan replied in a daze.I wondered why I kept asking, is it a rare thing for people to live on Tongjing Island?

"Is there something wrong?" Xie Hengyan asked cautiously.

The woman said: "There is nothing wrong."

"We don't live there either, but I heard that life on Tongjing Island is not easy, and many people are rushing to go outside." The man said, "Is it because of this that you are trying to find a way to go to sea?"

Xie Hengyan didn't know what to say, so he stuttered for a long time, then just nodded and said: "That's right, water and food are gradually running out over there, and it's inconvenient to travel, and it's really hard to live here... Besides, everyone is so poor that they can't open their mouths. It’s hard to survive.”

"Oh? Is it so scary?" The woman smiled, "Isn't that poorer than the village we live in?"

As soon as Xie Hengyan heard this, she remembered what they said about the Bi Yu Mansion and the immortal incense, so she couldn't help asking: "Then dare to ask you two benefactors, where did you come from?"

The man said: "Of course we are from..."

"You mean us?" The woman interrupted him suddenly, and said with a smile, "We live by the sea, and we live by fishing... We work so hard every day just to make money for food."

Xie Hengyan said: "But you just said that Bi Yufu..."

"What Bi Yu Mansion?" The woman looked back at the man and said, "Did we talk about it?"

The man was also stunned and said: "What is Bi Yufu?"

"you……"

Xie Hengyan suddenly became a little stupid. Could it be that he missed Yin Zhen so much that he could still have auditory hallucinations?

"You guys don't live in a place called...Fuze Mountain, and come to Fengzhen?" Xie Hengyan asked blankly, "Haven't you even heard of it?"

The couple immediately denied it: "I've never heard of it... What is that place?"

Xie Hengyan said: "Then where is the fishing village you mentioned?"

The man said: "It's not far away, it's just ahead, and we'll be docking soon."

"It doesn't make sense. Could it be that I've entered some other barrier and I won't be able to get out in this life?" Xie Hengyan whispered.

What kind of fishing village is not a fishing village? It lives by fishing all day long. How is it different from the previous Yongcun?

The woman obviously heard it, and asked with some doubts: "What barrier are you talking about?"

"Oh, it's nothing." Xie Hengyan changed the subject, "I just want to sigh, the place you mentioned is very similar to where I lived before."

The woman joked: "Where are the similarities? For example, is the commonality poor?"

Xie Hengyan said embarrassedly: "The reality is indeed like this."

The woman said: "We also feel poor. There is nothing we can't say about it. Everyone's life is hard. Fishing alone can't make a living."

Xie Hengyan thought for a while, and then asked: "If this is the case, how do you usually survive?"

The man at the other end said: "Think of a way to transport some local products and sell them in a big city a little farther away. Although our area is remote, it is not impossible to travel far, but... the travel expenses are expensive."

The woman also continued, "That's right, those rich people who live in big cities often charge more fish and shrimp... All kinds of rare seafood that are difficult to buy in the inner city, as long as the place is far enough away, you won't have to worry about it." Make money."

The man said: "It's a pity that such opportunities are very few, very few...it is pitifully rare. So, we have nowhere to go until today, and there is really no way out."

Xie Hengyan asked: "What can't be done?"

"Little brother, do you know? Someone from above has ordered that how much silver taels can be exchanged for a demon seal, we two can't count with four hands." The woman suddenly sneered, and looked at Xie Hengyan with some sarcasm Meaningfully said, "Maybe with such a fortune, we poor people don't have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of our lives."

"Wait, wait..." Xie Hengyan froze suddenly, then stood up from the stern of the boat, holding Wu Nian with one hand, and leaning against the side of the boat with the other, and asked almost in disbelief, "What are you talking about?... …What's the meaning?"

However, when he came to his senses and stood still completely from the side—the ship suddenly shook violently, as if the bow of the ship had directly collided with some heavy object. The sound was distinctly moderate, but as heavy as a bell The sound made Xie Hengyan tremble in shock, and when he was about to raise his head, he knew that the fishing boat was parked in the shallow water, as if it was approaching the shore.

And the couple who were chatting and laughing stopped abruptly, Qi Qi turned around, and looked at Xie Hengyan with a bit of greed and ferocity in his eyes.

"You, you..." Xie Hengyan staggered, her leg was injured but she couldn't stand still at all, she took a few steps back with Wu Nian, and finally staggered back to the stern, almost terrified and said, "You are Bi People from the Imperial Palace?!"

"We are not from Bi Yu Mansion." The woman sneered, then reached into her sleeve and took out a piece of snow-white talisman paper that was the width of a palm.This talisman was the talisman issued by the Rong Mansion back then, and the people around Laifeng Town almost had a lot of people in order to protect themselves when encountering monsters.

——Of course, on the other hand, I also hope that they can muster up the courage and take the initiative to attack.At the same time, he was involved in this vicious battle, and in the end his Rong family enjoyed the benefits of being a fisherman.

As a result, most of the poor people who couldn't even guarantee their basic life had no choice but to embark on the road of no return to fighting wild monsters.

Strong enough and brave enough, raw.And weak evaders, die.

"Tongjing Island was reduced to a barren island with no grass half a year ago. Nowadays, monsters breed frequently on the island, and the rest are ghosts who don't want to die." The man held up the fishing net and harpoon, indifferently Said, "You said... you came from Tongjing Island, so we don't know what you are?"

Xie Hengyan felt cold, and immediately asked in a stiff voice, "What did you say? When will Tongjing Island..."

"Seeing the seal is never wrong." The woman stepped forward, lifted Xie Hengyan's collar, and then glared at him fiercely, "The appearance is so similar to human beings, and you can deceive us by fabricating lies... you It’s a wooden puppet, and the bounty is double that of an ordinary goblin.”

Xie Hengyan's pupils constricted suddenly, and his eyes were reddened at that moment. At the same time, he looked into the woman's defenseless face, and was about to control all her actions. Suddenly, a fishing net suddenly fell over his head, and Xie Hengyan's fangs had not had time Barely bared, the man directly blocked his mouth with a rag.

"The little thing still dares to open his mouth to speak, let me see what you can use to control it." The man "slapped" a piece of talisman, which was now pasted on Xie Hengyan's head, "Go, sell him to Biyu Mansion... have a look... How much bounty can I exchange for?"

"Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu......

The woman said again: "But doesn't he still have a child... Is this really the child of a puppet and a man?"

The man said: "I'm afraid it's also a demon?"

Xie Hengyan: "Woo!!!"

"Take them all together first, and if you happen to catch a small one, you can make a fortune." The woman said indifferently, "Hurry up and get off the boat, and drag him ashore... lest you have long nights and dreams, and cause trouble."
