no puppet

During the whole autumn, Xiaolu was not busy with anything, just busy with Xie Hengyan, non-stop.

When he didn't wake up, he was worried all day long that he might die, so he tried every means to wake him up.

Now the person is awake, but his state is muddled, as if he is about to die at any moment.In addition, he broke a pair of wooden legs, and he couldn't get out of bed to walk. It was a bit inconvenient in his life, and the assistants helped him take care of him.

Xiaolu said that she would hire a carpenter to repair the puppet's legs.

However, no one can repair such a leg, and the puppet is a monster. Taking such a big risk to send the carpenter into the backyard, maybe if someone else finds out that something is wrong, the three of them will be sent to the Biyu Mansion to be beheaded together.

The man said: "Otherwise, throw him away, throw him away! Throw him into the wilderness, and let him fend for himself."

Xiaolu picked up this guy, his surname is Ping, his name is Barley, he is from the north. Granted, he didn't dare to make his own claims.

Fortunately, later on, Xie Hengyan's spirits improved a little, and she often went to the backyard to help wash rice and vegetables with the wooden crutches that Xiaolu used to use.

Sometimes, when the two of them squeezed together at work, Ping Barley couldn't hold back his mouth, so he kept looking at Xie Hengyan and asking questions.

For example: "Hey, can you really have a baby?"

Xie Hengyan: "..."

Another example: "How did your teeth grow? Is one missing?"

Xie Hengyan: "..."

Or: "How do you monsters come from? Will you have sex/mating/mating when the season comes? How many cubs can a litter have?"

Xie Hengyan: "..."

In fact, Xie Hengyan didn't bother to talk to him at all, this guy kept saying he wanted to drive him away, but fortunately Xiaolu kept stopping him, otherwise Xie Hengyan would be a starving ghost wandering around now - but Xiaolu has a big difference with Pingbarley What they have in common is that both of them are very talkative, and love to chase after Xie Hengyan to ask endless questions.

Today Ping Barley came to ask the puppet if he would have cubs, and tomorrow Xiaolu came to him and asked him, "Have you ever married?"

"You and Yin, you two... how did the child come about?"

"Who gave birth to the child?"

Xiaolu pestered Xie Hengyan for a long time, but in the end Xie Hengyan had no choice but to explain that there were two children from a friend's family. The older brother was swept away by the waves, and his whereabouts are still unknown.

Xiaolu asked again: "Is that friend you mentioned really yourself?"

"..."

Xie Hengyan let out a long sigh, and then asked back: "So, Miss Xiaolu, is there any news about the child who was taken to Biyu Mansion?"

Xiaolu and Pingbarley looked at each other, both of them had helpless expressions on their faces.In the past few days, Xiaolu has been around the Biyu Mansion several times, and then Ping Barley has also been there several times, but they have never heard of any children coming to the mansion, and there has never been any relevant news from inside or outside. .

"Those two people you met in the first place, maybe they were human traffickers who abducted children to sell them?" Xiaolu analyzed in this way.

Ping Barley also said: "The New Year's Eve is approaching, can you kidnap something? Not to mention kidnapping children, even the chickens, ducks and geese raised in the backyard have to be guarded at any time."

Xie Hengyan still felt that there was some hope, but after hearing what they said, she became more and more anxious.

He lost the seal and Wu Qian, and now even Wu Nian was abducted by someone—if Wu Na Quan knows, even if he dies, he must be revived.

"Where is Biyu Mansion?" Xie Hengyan said, "...I'll go and see by myself."

"Are you going to see it?" Xiaolu looked at him, then at his legs, "You are limping like this, and you plan to die to see it?"

"I..." Xie Hengyan became a little anxious immediately, and said incoherently, "I don't even know where Yin Chu is, I'm afraid something will happen to him, he...he, me, me..."

Xiaolu only said: "What are you in a hurry, what are you in a hurry? Didn't we say, let's fix ourselves first?"

Xie Hengyan said dejectedly: "I can't fix it... that's the way it is for the rest of my life."

"..."

But Xiaolu stared at him fixedly, and didn't speak for a long time.

In the early morning of the next day, before the tavern opened, Xiaolu went to the market with a basket before dawn.When I came back, I had a hammer in my hand, and a whole basket of something heavy and heavy. I lifted the white cloth and looked inside—it turned out to be a pile of metal materials in bundles!

"What are you buying this for?" Ping Barley opened his mouth wide and asked in amazement, "This thing is quite difficult to get. How much did you spend?"

Xiaolu waved her hand and said, "I got it from the old blacksmith next door. It's just a few pots of wine money. Don't make a fuss."

Ping Barley stared and said, "Isn't the wine money money? Besides, this thing..."

"Okay, okay, stop yelling, you go and find Xiaoxie." Xiaolu said impatiently, "Let's find a way to heal his leg."

Ping Barley was instantly startled, "You, what did you say?"

Xiaolu said: "Cure his leg! Call someone!"

——On this trip, Xiaolu spent a lot of money and spent a lot of money to buy a batch of leftover forging materials from the old blacksmith's house.

After returning, he dragged Ping Barley to gesticulate, and pulled Xie Hengyan who was eating, to measure the exact length from his calf to his ankle.

Xie Hengyan questioned: "What is this again?"

Xiaolu didn't answer, just said: "Just wait."

In the early morning of the next day, Xiaolu kept an eye on it. In order not to make the neighbors suspicious, she took a few detours and asked another craftsman for help. Using the remaining batch of forging materials, she continued to work overnight and built the Four symmetrical steel skeletons, as well as some indistinguishable small parts, round and square, there are miscellaneous at first glance, no matter what shape they are.

On the day after the skeleton was completed, Xiaolu and Ping Barley caught the limping Xie Hengyan, pressed them directly to the empty bed board opposite, and fixed them firmly——Xiaolu did all the work for him. Two sets of skeletons, the long one from the knee to the ankle, and the short one used to support the hind legs. As for other various delicate parts, they were placed in a row horizontally and vertically, all of which were replacements for his injured ankle. It's just that I don't know what to replace it with at the moment.

Xie Hengyan's leg injury was partly due to the instability of the karma seal, and the injury has not been repaired so far. The other part can only be blamed on Rong Shilian's ruthless attack. The push on the wooden roof earlier caused the joints of his calf and ankle to be torn apart. , and now after some seawater corrosion, their original appearance is completely unrecognizable.

Xiaolu can only make a rough judgment based on his wooden legs.She pressed Xie Hengyan to death on the bed with Pingbai, and checked it countless times until she confirmed that there was no problem with the length. , a foot-long sharp skeleton, slammed into between the puppet's calves, and the sharp sound of the sharp tip grinding against the wooden skin made the eardrums of the two people in front of them tremble uncontrollably.

Xie Hengyan's screams resounded throughout the backyard, extending all the way to the front hall of the tavern. Some guests who didn't know it thought that some terrible murder had happened.

After the steel frame is finished, the wooden legs of the puppet are nailed, with three ankles and three knees on each side.The role of the skeleton is limited to supporting the calf, while the existence of the steel nails is used to support the skeleton—plus a few other fine parts elsewhere, it is probably to restore the original state of the puppet's legs.

And when this series of complicated "treatment work" was finally completed, Xie Hengyan had already fainted from the pain, lying on the bed almost unable to breathe out.Xiaolu asked Pingbarley to take a bath for him, and cleaned up the festering wounds little by little. At that time, Xie Hengyan screamed like he was about to die, and a pair of claws dug hard on Pingbarley's arm. It's a long streak of blood.

"This dirty monster, doesn't he usually like to take a bath?" Ping Barley said in horror, "Or... the puppet is afraid of water? All puppets are like this?"

Finally, after taking a shower and drying off, Xie Hengyan came out wrapped in tattered clothes, and Xiaolu asked him to try walking by himself.

"I heard that the most different thing between a puppet and a human is that the puppet controls all its actions... only the little demon seal." Xiaolu propped her chin and said to Xie Hengyan, "So I think, put These skeletons are combined with your wooden legs, and finally play the role of karma, and you may be able to get up and walk again?"

Little Green's idea is very good.But she completely overlooked one point - that is Xie Hengyan's demon seal, which lost the protection of bone needles when she shot those arrows on the boat, and is now in a precarious and dying state.

So much so that Xie Hengyan staggered to the front of Xiaolu with the steel frame full of legs, his movements were slow and stiff, and he staggered constantly, like a zombie that just crawled out of the cemetery. People feel indescribably funny and pitiful.

"W-why is this so?" Xiaolu was stunned for a moment, completely unaware of the result, "I thought it could be repaired...and I asked the master for the strongest material."

Xie Hengyan was trembling, kicking on those rigid calves that were completely out of tune with his body, walked around the backyard stiffly and laboriously, walking a distance of half a sky circle, during which time he tried countless times to stand still, but there was nothing he could do Make adaptations.

In the end, he walked back to Xiaolu again, looking down at her slightly red eyes because of depression, where the indescribable sourness and tears seemed to be hidden.

"It's not your problem, it's my karma seal, and ordinary people can't fix it." Xie Hengyan sighed, "It's good to be like this... At least I can get out of bed and walk, as if I were They had crutches nailed to their legs."

"I really want to help you." Xiaolu whispered, obviously feeling extremely sorry for him, "But as it is now..."

Xie Hengyan interrupted her and said, "I know. Being able to walk is really enough for me."

Xiaolu: "Xiao Xie..."

"If I can save Yinzhu, I must be able to get out." Xie Hengyan said, "No matter what, even if I risk my life, I will never let him have an accident."

Dude is cannon fodder, it is useless at the moment, but it may be of great use in the future!

Then Xiaolu’s method of curing legs is actually very cumbersome, equivalent to walking with wooden crutches—and it has nothing to do with scientific medicine at all. It is used to cure puppets alone. The method is quite special, and probably no one will know it. Treat a broken man like this.

I have no experience of fractures myself, so the leg repair is all based on imagination...Of course, I don’t want to experience fractures, it’s best not to have any in this life hahahahahaha
