no puppet

Once Cheng Miling's words came out, Yin Chun and Xie Hengyan were shocked——

None of them expected that this little junior sister, who has always been cheerful and open-minded, had already hidden countless truths in her heart, but she never confessed to the relatives around her for a moment.

Whether it is Yin Chun or Kang Wen, even if her biological father, Cheng Daofeng, may not be able to understand her daughter's complicated thoughts.

Cheng Miling knew the truth about Cheng Daofeng killing his wife with her own hands, so what was the reason that prompted her to hide this past for more than [-] years, and she still hasn't revealed it to others?

The two of Yin and Xie came to their senses just now, Cheng Miling got up vigilantly, and at the same time shouted back sharply: "Who? Who's there?"

Xie Hengyan: "Yin..."

"Let's go!" Yin Chun said suddenly, and then he stretched out his hand to grab Xie Hengyan into his arms, lifted the bamboo basket with the other hand and put it on his wrist, quickly jumped to the top of the treetop beside him, turned around and walked down another steep road down the mountain opened the pace.

Yin Zhen would run like flying, Xie Hengyan didn't even realize it, he felt the bamboo basket holding Wu Nian was shaking and creaking all the way behind the two of them, and when it came to a complete stop, he had unknowingly returned to the At the bottom of the mountain at first, it seemed that Cheng Miling failed to chase after him, but Wu Nian in the basket let out a "Wow", opened his throat and began to cry loudly!

"Hey...Yin Chun, look at you, what are you doing in such a hurry?" Xie Hengyan hurriedly lowered her head, hugged Wu Nian from the bamboo basket into her arms, and hurriedly opened the swaddle to take a look—as expected, Yin Chun's movement down the mountain was too big, Wu Nian was so scared that he peed all over, his clothes and trousers were stained with an unpleasant smell.

"You two brothers and sisters haven't seen each other for more than a year. Why is it so rare to see each other now? You seem to have seen a ghost?" Xie Hengyan stopped at the side of the road, squatted down, and changed for Wu Nian. Yichang asked Yin Chun, "You've been out for such a long time, didn't you want to go back to Biyu Mansion?"

Yin Chun tilted his head, still silently looking in the direction just now, and didn't say a word for a long time.Xie Hengyan poked his shoulder with his elbow and shouted, "Hey, are you scared out of your wits?!"

"...No." Yin Zhu came back to his senses and responded.

Xie Hengyan said: "I was talking to you, why did you run? Miss Cheng is not a bad person, I went to Biyu Mansion before, and let her be released."

"To you, no one is a bad person." Yin Chun mocked, "I have already planned to leave town, why waste time on these trivial matters?"

Xie Hengyan said again: "I think Cheng Miling has a lot of thoughts. Look at her, she knew that Cheng Daofeng killed Mrs. Cheng, and it has been more than 20 years, but she didn't even react at all... Is this normal? ?”

"It's not normal." Yin Chun patted Xie Hengyan's head, then picked up the bamboo basket for him, Wu Nian put it in, took his little hand again, and said nonchalantly, "... let's go."

Xie Hengyan was stunned and said, "Wait... just left like this? Then what are you doing up the mountain?"

Yin Chun turned his back and was silent for a while, but still did not give a single answer.The two of them patrolled in the completely opposite direction to Fuze Mountain, headed for the originally planned road outside the town, and walked out slowly one after the other.

Xie Hengyan was right behind Yin Chung, staring at his silent back at that time, probably after a long period of time, only to be overwhelmed with hindsight—according to Yin Chung's current situation, frequently entering and leaving Bi The Yufu might only bring more trouble to Cheng Miling.What's more, Yin Chu accidentally hurt Cheng Daofeng, the relationship between master and apprentice is so rigid, it is even more rare for Cheng Miling to be in the middle.

After thinking about it for a while, Xie Hengyan seemed to understand Yin Zhu's current actions, and it was not necessarily because of his stubbornness, but mostly because of his own helplessness.

"Where are you going?" Xie Hengyan cautiously clasped his knuckles tightly on Yinchun's sleeves, suddenly feeling sad for no reason.

"Outside the town, I have prepared a horse." Yin Chun replied, "You just follow along, I won't sell you."

Yin Chun said that they were looking for the wharf where the seagoing ships docked back then, but in fact they didn't have a clear direction. Seeing that the weather was gradually entering late autumn, it seemed that it was going straight to winter, and Xie Hengyan became more and more afraid of the cold.

Before they left and came to Feng Town, they not only went up Fuze Mountain, but also wandered around the wharf outside the mountain and near the sea for several times after going down the mountain that day. I know a family of doctors surnamed Mu, and I have never heard of a family whose surname is Yin. Perhaps such a rare surname can only be found in big towns.

But Yin Chun didn't plan to go to the big towns, after all his portraits had already been hung all over the street, and Xie Hengyan was just a puppet, and he had to rely on an unreliable magnet when going out on weekdays, and he had to live in fear almost all the time— ——Piansheng Yinzhu found out the most likely coastal wharves where ships depart from Yongcun Island based on the drawings. There are a total of nine coastal piers.

One of them is near Fuze Mountain. I asked and searched but couldn't find any decent results.As for the remaining eight places, they are all south of small towns, some are near and some are far, and the roads between them are bumpy. If you want to separate from the big cities with people coming and going around you, you have to go around the long road and sneak around. Walk.

They probably set off after the autumnal equinox, and the weather became noticeably cooler during the frost season.Xie Hengyan's face was blue and white from the cold all day long, and he seldom saw a station that could stop for rectification on the way, so when they missed three times in a row and finally arrived at the fourth fishing village near the sea in the middle of the night, Xie Hengyan finally fell ill down.

——That night, Xie Hengyan had a high fever, and Wu Nian's condition didn't look good.Yin Chun naturally knew that Xie Hengyan almost let Rong Shilian toss half of his life before, and during the days in Yongcun, his condition also fluctuated up and down and was very unstable. Recently, he lived in Xiaolu's tavern for some time. It was only then that the puppet was slowly raised to be able to eat, drink, and be alive and kicking.

Unexpectedly, just after coming out for a month of bumps, he immediately collapsed on the bed again and became very sick.Until this time, Yin Chun began to think about the rationality of this long journey. He even gradually thought that Xie Hengyan should not have been brought out in the first place. They traveled and bumped all the way, eating and sleeping in the open, and sometimes encountered heavily guarded villages and towns, and had to go around overnight. OK to leave.

In this case, even ordinary people may not be able to bear such a long journey. Xie Hengyan, a puppet that is about to fall apart, is now accompanying Yin Chu non-stop, rushing back and forth between major cities and towns day and night. The body does not get the proper time to recuperate at all.

When Xie Hengyan fell ill, Yin Chun was so anxious that he had to suspend all future plans.In order to recuperate Xie Hengyan's illness, Yin Chun found a remote and secluded alley, where there were hardly any people walking, and the guys at the inn seemed to be not the type to do good things, so Xie Hengyan and Wu Nian settled in one of the simple houses, reluctantly You can also take a rest, and it is much better than staying in the wild for a long time.

During the day, when there are people inside and outside the post station, Yin Zhen will consciously hide in a place where they can't see, and at night, the wind and dust will climb over the wall and come in, bringing the harvest from a day's hunting outside - there are pheasants, there are live fish, There were also some wild vegetables picked halfway, and Yin Chu burned them firmly in a pot. The meat was completely boiled, and served with rice and seasonings to the bedside for Xie Hengyan to eat.

Fortunately, this time Xie Hengyan had a fever, so he wasn't completely confused, and the food was naturally good, and every time he went back to the post station, he could still ask him to say a few words.

Yin Chun guessed that he was tired from traveling on weekdays, and the cold in autumn caused by the temperature drop, that's why he was so sick.

But if things go on like this for a long time, there are still a few places waiting for the two of them to find. Xie Hengyan's health can't take it anymore, Yin Chun thinks it is necessary to suspend the trip, and even thought for a while, whether to wait for the spring of next year before continuing to go elsewhere.

Of course, such thoughts were quickly stopped by Xie Hengyan.

Xie Hengyan said that his physical problems were largely left over from the war-torn period.Xie Cong is not very good at repairing the puppet's body, and his heart has always been heavy, and he has never been willing to face the various problems that Xie Hengyan has encountered—so all kinds of serious and minor illnesses have been delayed until now, and then let Rong Shilian In the commotion, the wooden body collapsed naturally, and the reaction became stronger each time.

At present, the only thing that can keep the wooden body running is the crumbling karma mark on his chest, but as long as the demon mark is still close to his heart, the puppet will definitely be fine.

"So I said, when the illness is cured, do whatever you want." Xie Hengyan pulled Yin Chun and said, "If you keep procrastinating, you have to wait until the Chinese New Year, and after the New Year, you will have to rest for a while, and you will never even think about starting your journey again in this life. .”

"Otherwise we should just stop?" Yin Chun said in a deep voice, "When the weather gets colder, your body will only suffer more and more."

"But in the final analysis, we have no place to stop." Xie Hengyan hugged her knees and said helplessly, "With a wanted criminal like you around, we have to hide in every post station. Where should we settle down?"

Yin Chun didn't scold him this time, but asked instead: "Where do you want to settle down?"

"Master, I like the downtown area. There are people singing in the front and dancing in the back. There are famous restaurants in the neighborhood. You can smell the fragrance if you can't eat it usually. Then, let's keep cats and dogs at home. Kid, come someone to rub candied haws for me..." Xie Hengyan held up her cheeks and said with incomparable fascination, "How wonderful this is, Yin Chun, do you think it's good?"

"Okay." Yin Chun replied.

"What?" Xie Hengyan stared, "I'm just talking casually, you don't have to take it seriously."

"I said... yes."

Yin Chun stretched out his hand and tapped the puppet's forehead: "Didn't you say that you want to go to a lively place? It's okay to wait until spring or summer next year. I'll take you to a place with a lot of people... Maybe you're satisfied." , maybe even settle down there.”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

"Let's talk about it first. As for whether it can be realized, it depends entirely on God's will."

"Well, I'll live till then."

"I will too."

THE END

——I think it can end like this, it is simply too suspenseful and interesting!

however……

Yin Chun: I don't think so. The iron pestle has not been ground into a needle. I can't die, and the story can't be finished.

Xie Hengyan: Aren't you a needle in the first place?

Yin Chun: Dinghaishenzhen?
