no puppet

Anyway, since the night of Qixi Festival, Yin Chun has fallen into a strange state of physical and mental distortion for no reason.

He felt that he was not very comfortable in his heart, but he thought about it, and he didn't know where he was uncomfortable-in the final analysis, he still had to blame that silly and cheerful puppet.

Fortunately, for a few days afterwards, Yin Zhu didn't see him again.The closet and the roof have been carefully searched a few times, and there is no trace of anyone stealing food in the kitchen. In short, there have been no major disturbances in and out of the town, which means that he is still living, at least he is not stupid enough to let him eat. People grab it directly.

For this reason, Kang Wen and Cheng Miling often asked questions in private, but most of them... were curious and gossip about the incident that day.

"Senior brother, what happened to that young man?" Cheng Miling asked, holding his chin, "It's the first time I've seen a live young man. He looks like a porcelain doll. No wonder a bunch of men are surrounding him."

Kang asked, but said: "I see...they probably eloped with that Rong, and won't come back to look for senior brother again."

"Why, what's wrong with our senior brother?"

Kang asked solemnly: "You don't know, that stinky little boy - he is so delicious, the senior brother can't afford him at all."

Cheng Miling was surprised and said: "That's so edible, you can't even feed your brother?"

Kang asked Thief Xixi, "He can eat thirty eggs in one meal... what do you think?"

"Thirty?" Cheng Miling's eyes widened in fright, "Then, is he still a human?"

Kang Wen covered his face with his hands, pretending to be mysterious and said: "I think, he can no longer be called a human... His appetite is simply a monster."

After finishing speaking, he just turned around - Yin Zhu stood behind them and watched coldly, like a ghost, and kept silent.

Kang Wen was eager to gain wisdom, and immediately changed the subject: "Hey, master, brother... You see, the weather today is really good, the sun is shining brightly, it is suitable for going to the street to make soy sauce!"

Cheng Miling also followed suit: "Yes, the weather is really... No, it's going to rain, what kind of sun?"

Yin Chun was too lazy to talk to the two of them, put the bucket and rag in his hand, turned around and went to prepare candle offerings and other cumbersome sundries.Kang Wen guessed that on the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month not long after, the people in the town would go to Fuze Mountain ancestral hall for routine visits. In other words, every time people really go in and out, there is only one person.

As for Cheng Miling and Kang Wen, one is slow and unable to use their strength, and the other is only foolish and will only cause trouble. In the end, it will only backfire and become two big burdens that cannot be shaken off.

Before Yin Chun went out, the butler Huo Shitang was still packing clothes and bedding in the backyard, and while he was busy, he muttered: "Look at this posture, it will be cold in a few days, and it may not be easy to get in and out of Fuze Mountain."

Cheng Daofeng was drinking hot tea beside him, and said quietly: "No matter how difficult it is, visiting worship all year round is a must-this is the rule set by the ancestors, and no one should rashly break it."

After saying that, he gently put the teacup down, raised his voice and called Yin Chun: "Chonger, it's not too late, why don't you go up the mountain quickly?"

Yin Chun nodded in agreement, but when he was about to turn around and leave, Cheng Daofeng suddenly said: "Wait."

Yin Chun turned back in response, Cheng Daofeng pointed to the two big packages in his arms, and asked, "What did you bring, so many things?"

Yin Chun turned sideways and opened a gap in the package: "The offering plate and incense burner, the ones in the shrine have been knocked down quite a bit...now rush to get new ones."

Cheng Daofeng frowned: "Didn't you replace it with a new one before?"

Yin Chun paused for a moment, then quickly said: "There are mostly birds and beasts in the mountains, and they like to steal food and offerings from the ancestral hall on weekdays. Occasionally, they accidentally cause some bumps, which is unavoidable."

Cheng Daofeng waved his hand, and didn't intend to pursue further: "Okay, it's getting late, you go and come back quickly."

Then seeing someone walk to the door, I couldn't help reminding again: "Chun'er, the matter of paying homage...is very important, after today, don't cause any trouble again."

Yin Chun knew that he attached great importance to the statues in the ancestral hall, so he naturally didn't dare to slack off, so he immediately packed up all his belongings and prepared to go up the mountain with a package and a wooden barrel.

Before he left, Huo Shitang was very careful, he said that it was likely to rain soon, so he put a half-worn green umbrella in his arm.

However, when Yin Chun left home, although the sky was blustery, there was no sign of rain coming.Since the beginning of autumn, the temperature has turned cooler, but the weather is mostly tending to be dry. Yin Chun didn't go far on the mountain road, so he folded the green umbrella and put it back behind his back, and turned to focus on tossing the two big cloth bags in his hand.

Speaking of these two large packages, it is impossible to say that he is completely selfless.Of course, the things in the bag are not limited to the incense burners and porcelain plates used in the ancestral hall. If you look inside, you can clearly see several paper bags tightly covered by the bottom layer, as well as some thick outer robes that are needed in autumn.

Inside the paper package are freshly steamed buns, plus three bunches of deep-hidden candied haws.

The gown was also newly made by a tailor.It's just because someone's stature is too far from Yin Chun's - to him, the loose clothes are not considered to keep warm, on the contrary, they are more or less air-tight.

Yin Chun first finished the work in hand, then threw down the rag and wooden bucket, and walked around the ancestral hall twice carefully - he searched behind the statue and the cracks in the wall, but he still didn't see anyone.

Logically speaking, that stupid puppet had nowhere else to go, and would probably just wander around the ancestral hall.

Otherwise, as Kang Wen said, he turned his head and eloped with Rong Buzhi.

Holding the two parcels in his arms, Yin Chun stood on the stone steps in front of the door for a long while, thinking that he should just throw the things on the ground and forget about them.

Just as he was thinking this way, Fang was about to bend down, but at this moment, misfortune fell from the sky, the dead branches of the sycamore tree on his forehead rustled, and a person fell down in the mid-air, the weight of fallen leaves was like floating, but his strength was trembling. ruthless and swift——

At that time Yin Chun only felt his arm sore, but after lowering his eyes for a moment, the visitor already got into his arms sullenly, wrapping his hands and feet firmly in one place.

The two almost circled around in place for several times, and finally Yin Chu couldn't support his arms, so he staggered back to the stone steps with the man in his arms, and tried his best to support the ground to stabilize his figure.

Then he lowered his head abruptly, just in time to see the dark almond eyes narrowed into a line in his upper arms, and the side cheeks with some suspicious blush.

"...What are you doing?" Yin Chun froze all over and spoke with difficulty.

"Senior brother!" Xie Hengyan, like a domestic puppy seeing its master, jumped up and hugged his neck, leaned aside and rubbed and rubbed, "...I knew you missed me, did you bring me something delicious? ah?"

"What are you thinking?... Let's go!"

Yin Chun struggled for a long time, but couldn't move, so he finally had to grab Xie Hengyan by the back of the neck and forcefully tore him off his body.Helpless, this guy is really like brown sugar. After a few days of seeing each other, he became more and more entangled with no rules. Not long after he pushed away, he embraced him with a smile on his face, buried his head in Yin Chun's shoulder socket and rubbed it again and again.

Yin Chun was helpless, hurriedly took out the big white steamed buns that he had prepared earlier from the package, and flashed them in front of people—as expected, this method was very effective, when Xie Hengyan saw the food, everything else was secondary, and immediately He let go of the seal, and turned to grab the steamed bun in his hand.

The two fought back and forth several times, and finally Yin Chun raised his foot and threw it outwards, Xie Hengyan slid off him with a grunt, and at the same time turned his attention to the delicious steamed buns.

——This puppet forgets his father when he has food. Since he holds the steamed buns in his hand, he has no time to take care of the hard-working Yin Chuan who is feeding. Instead, he eats happily by himself.

Yin Chun was taken aback for a moment, then pondered for a long time, and forced himself to say: "How many days have you not eaten?"

Xie Hengyan counted with her fingers and said, "...five days."

Yin Chuan counted five days, which was probably the full five days after Qixi Festival.People would starve to death if they didn't eat, and what would happen to puppets if they didn't eat, he didn't know, but it probably wouldn't feel good.

But after thinking about it again, this puppet has hands, feet and strength, but it will always rely on others to barely survive. If it continues like this, it will really become Yin Chun who will support him for the rest of his life.

"If I didn't bring you food, wouldn't you eat it yourself?" Yin Chu couldn't help asking.

"It's not that I don't want to eat it." Xie Hengyan gnawed on the steamed buns and said vaguely, "I see that there are a few orange trees near the ancestral hall. These are wild fruits that I can barely eat these days, and they are almost enough to fill my stomach."

Yin Chun asked again, "Then where do you live?"

"The ancestral hall." After Xie Hengyan finished speaking, he pointed to the top of the tree above his head, "When it's not raining, I live in the tree."

Yin Chun was speechless, watching silently as he gnawed all the steamed buns, then dragged out the packages containing the new clothes, folded them neatly, and put them on his lap: "This is the outer robe." And underwear, a total of three pieces, you can wear them at your own pace... If it breaks, it will be gone, don't even think about asking me for it."

In the end, I simply put the green umbrella that I put away into it and put it away, just in case the puppet who is afraid of water suddenly has nowhere to hide when the heavy rain comes.

"...What are you doing?" Xie Hengyan held a lot of things in his hands at a time, but seemed at a loss, "I... I didn't ask you to buy these, are they so expensive? Besides, I don't have the money to buy them. And... not to mention nothing of value."

Yin Chun didn't want to say it was because he was pitiful, he wanted to eat and wear nothing, he was really like a down and out stray dog, floating up and down the mountains all day - talking about looking for his father In fact, I don't know anything about the external terrain. Maybe one day when I find it, I will put myself in it, and I will never see it again.

He felt like he was keeping some kind of wild pet.This kind of emotion is very subtle, just like feeding a kitten or puppy on the side of the road—feeding it once in a while is due to the inherent compassion of human beings, but after feeding it too many times, it takes It is almost impossible to say that there is no emotion at all.

Yin Chun didn't know whether this metaphor was appropriate or not, anyway, he couldn't seriously tell Xie Hengyan about the thoughts he had in his heart.In the end, he just said indifferently: "...I don't expect you to pay me back. It's just that the weather is cold recently and the affairs in the town are relatively busy. I'm afraid you will have the courage to come and disturb me again."

The clinker Xie Hengyan didn't take his words to heart at all, holding the package in his hand, the expression on his face became more and more frightened: "Why do you treat me so well all of a sudden? You, you don't really... think Do you want to mess with me?"

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Yin Chun: Even if I, Yin Chun, were scolded to death by the readers, if I jumped from here, I would definitely not save this puppet.

... really fragrant.

The one who is soft-hearted first loses, look at the puppet, he is still at a loss~

Xie Hengyan: He treats me well and wants to hit me! (sure face)

Yin Chun: (I really wanted to roll up my sleeves and beat him up, but in the choice between beating him up and killing him, I finally decided on the latter!)
