no puppet

"……what is this?"

Yin Chun stretched out his hand, trying to uncover Xie Hengyan's robe, so that he could look down more clearly.However, the light in the room was too dim, and Xie Hengyan was shaking violently. During this period, he curled up and tried to shrink into the corner. Yin Zhen had no choice but to wrap his legs around him and firmly dig him out from the corner. Forcibly dragged to the thin quilt to spread out and stabilize.

But also because of this procrastination, all the rest of the clothes were scattered and loosened, and what was displayed before Yin Chun's eyes again was no longer the white and delicate skin at the beginning, but a large mottled bruise on the back area, and There are countless pits and pits, and countless scars in embarrassment.

——Now this puppet has no intact part of its body.

Perhaps because of the lack of blood and flesh, the depth of most of the wounds could not be discerned at all, except for a greenish-brown wooden body looming under the subcutaneous layer, and some places were even completely stretched open, like a bandage. There is a tendency of something about to break completely.

Yin Chun only lowered his head for a glance, then withdrew his hands and didn't dare to touch it again.

He didn't understand why this was the case.Because Xie Hengyan always disguised himself very well, as if he didn't care about anything, so no one could see whether he was in pain or uncomfortable, let alone know when he was covered in bruises.

"Who did this?" Yin Zhu couldn't help asking, "...how did you do it?"

Xie Hengyan didn't answer, he looked so bad that his whole body was curled up and twitching constantly, but from the appearance alone, Yin Chun couldn't see where he was suffering, and he was helpless in the end , Yin Chun stretched out his hand, carefully grabbed Xie Hengyan's arm, and said, "Turn around, let me have a look."

In an instant, Xie Hengyan's almond-shaped eyes widened, and suddenly he started kicking and kicking on the thin quilt. Naturally, Yin Chun would not let him succeed, because with just one hand, he lifted the puppet with its teeth and claws, and sat back on its legs and then forcefully clasped his hands, forcing him to move his fingers, and completely tore apart the innermost layer of white underwear——

Xie Hengyan's breathing was stagnant, and he almost sobbed to stop him: "Don't look!"

But Yin Zhu noticed it at a glance.

——Except for the hideous and terrifying scars, at the left heart of the puppet, near the inner side, several sharp objects more than three inches long, similar to rough bone needles, were impaled.

Now the tail of the needle has completely penetrated into the chest, and it can move the whole body with a single stroke, and it can pierce his entire body with just a little large movement.

Yin Chun suddenly seemed dumb, staring blankly at Xie Hengyan's eyes, not knowing what to say.But Xie Hengyan turned his eyes away, and with a hoarse voice, he said suddenly: "You let me down."

Yin Chun paused for a moment, and hesitantly let go of his hands.

Xie Hengyan was finally freed, let out a long breath, and then fell back into the corner with all his strength, but this time, he didn't even have the strength to curl up his body.

There was another indescribable silence between each other.

Until then, under the light of the scattered candles in the room, Yin Chu could clearly see the large and small bottles and jars in the corner, which had been knocked over in disorder, exuding a faint smell of herbal medicine.

And Xie Hengyan lay disheveled on the ground, and after a while, feeling that he might be able to recover, Fang unhurriedly stretched out his hands, and tied his outer robe with some effort.

Suddenly, there was a slight familiar warmth in his chest.

Yin Chun lowered his head and approached, and helped Xie Hengyan pull up the open flap, then carefully reached out his other hand, thinking about helping him put on and fasten his inner coat.

But Yin Chun's hands are really clumsy, and it's also because he couldn't take care of others when he was a child. He tried to be gentle, but every time he would be self-defeating.

Finally, Xie Hengyan couldn't bear it any longer, and said in a low voice, "...I'll do it myself."

So Yin Chun withdrew his hand back again, staring blankly at his bruised back, wanted to explain something, but when the words came to his lips, he turned into a sentence of helpless, innocent, unintentional...

He deliberately turned his face away, as if a little annoyed: "I...don't know."

--Do not know what is this?

He doesn't know anything, and has been since the beginning.

To forget is to forget.Human emotions are thin and fragile, and long-term memories can easily be shattered until they become blurred, so they can feel meaningless, lucky, or simply ignorant of everything they have done today.

"I'm just here to change your medicine."

Xie Hengyan was silent for a while, then suddenly said calmly: "Xie Cong injured you before, if you don't stop the bleeding and take medicine in time, you will die before you get off the boat."

Yin Chu: "..."

Xie Hengyan took a deep breath, her voice was slightly unsteady due to the excessive pain in her body: "I have reminded you many times... If you listened to my words at the beginning and went down the mountain honestly, then you will lie down safely now It's in the Biyu Mansion, not on this ship."

"Why should I believe you?" Yin Chunyuan looked at the faint candlelight in front of him, and said indifferently, "You lie too much...I don't know how to believe it."

Xie Hengyan asked: "When have I ever lied to you?"

"You knew early on that the puppets of the Li family were related to your father." Yin Chun said firmly, "But when I asked you later, you objected to me pretending to be crazy."

Xie Hengyan didn't say a word, as he acquiesced to his guess.

Yin Chun said: "...you are too good at pretending to be stupid."

Xie Hengyan closed her eyes and tried her best to bury her face in the deepest part of the corner.

"I shouldn't be soft-hearted." Yin Zhu said dully, "That night, you fell into the river...I shouldn't have gone down to save you."

"Do you think that if you don't save me at that time, my father won't show up?" Xie Hengyan asked back.

Yin Chun looked sideways, but did not look back at him.

"...I don't know why things turned out like this. He raises those puppets, including the ones he's working on right now. I really... don't understand, and I can't explain clearly." Xie Hengyan raised his hand and put it on his heart, At the place where countless bone needles were pierced, there was a thin and sharp pain, which was constantly spreading to the limbs, "I always thought that he was an ordinary carpenter. We have been together for almost 20 years, at least , he used to be very...gentle in front of me."

"Gentle." Yin Zhu sneered, "It's really gentle."

Xie Hengyan's eyes gradually dimmed: "It's because I don't know him well enough... Perhaps he has also had a hard life these years."

Yin Chun said: "But what does this have to do with me?"

Xie Hengyan fell silent, just from his expression, he didn't seem to be feeling that well.Only when Yin Chun remembered what happened just now, he stopped talking and asked softly: "...are you okay?"

Xie Hengyan didn't speak, but her fists were clenched tightly under her sleeves, and even her knuckles pierced through the skin around her palm.

"Why?" Yin Chun asked suddenly.

"what?"

"I said your father."

In fact, Yin Chun had already guessed it.Except for Xie Cong, there is probably no other person who can do such exaggerated and hideous scars.

"Oh..." Xie Hengyan laughed self-deprecatingly, "I promised him that I would not betray him."

Yin Chu: "?"

"He asked me if no matter what he did, I would never betray him and stay away."

Yin Chun silently stared at his bruised back under his clothes: "...then?"

Xie Hengyan only gave a low sigh, turned over and rolled up the thin quilt at hand, and slowly wrapped herself into a ball.

"Is the medicine useful?" Yin Chu didn't ask any more questions, and turned his gaze to several porcelain bottles in the corner.

"It's useless." Xie Hengyan said, "As long as I don't injure the seal of karma, I won't die... just sleep and wait for the wound to heal, then I'll be fine."

Yin Chun asked again, "What about those bone needles?"

"You just..." Xie Hengyan said with difficulty, "You were too strong, you pushed it in."

Yin Chun seemed to choke for a moment, and after a while, he still said the same words: "I... really don't know."

Xie Hengyan didn't even have the strength to argue with him, she just narrowed her eyes slightly, and said nonchalantly: "You change those medicines yourself, put them away later, don't let my father see them."

Yin Chun fell silent, not knowing how to reply.

The two were silent for a long time, so long that Yin Chun thought that Xie Hengyan was about to fall asleep, so he turned around and wanted to blow out the lit candles in the room. His voice was very low, but he could still hear the unspeakable sadness and loss.

"Print pour."

In the darkness, his voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible: "If you are like this, say sorry to me...is it difficult?"

Yin Chun froze.

"Or do you think you did the right thing? Because in front of you, it's just a puppet... a monster, so you don't need to think about it or hesitate before doing something that hurts me."

Yin Chun frowned: "I'm not..."

"I misread you." Xie Hengyan said suddenly.

Yin Chu: "..."

"I thought, at least you... hiss, forget it, you don't have much to say."

Halfway through the conversation, Xie Hengyan couldn't continue.He turned over slightly, found a more comfortable position for himself, and then continued: "Tomorrow I will find a way to find you a boat. Anyway, before the big boat docks, you can go by yourself... I will Help you get here, and the rest depends on God's will."

Yin Chun was slightly taken aback, and immediately showed a hesitant expression.

But this time Xie Hengyan was really, truly helpless, and at the same time disheartened and disappointed.

Over the years, he has trekked mountains and rivers, stopped and stopped, and has always been wandering alone.

Before meeting Yin Chun, everything the puppet experienced was dark, gloomy, and even a lot of despair beyond imagination.

But he never fails or gives up.

With expectations in mind, all the bitterness passing by will turn into endless sweetness.

Up until now, the expected reunion was completely different from the one he first pictured in his heart.

——Yu Yinchun is right, and Yu Xiecong is too.

The pain caused by excessive distortion is far greater than the meager joy.

"I didn't... I didn't think I did the right thing." At that time, Yin Zhu said suddenly, "I didn't intend to do something to hurt you. I didn't know you were injured beforehand. If I knew, I wouldn't Start like that."

"I just felt restless and didn't know what to do anymore."

"I didn't... never thought of hurting you."

"It was me who was wrong."

He was really stupid, he was clearly apologizing seriously, but the words he said were not half sincere.

"Anyway... I'm sorry."

After Yin Chu finished speaking in one breath, his palms were sweating.

This is the first time in his life that he has apologized to someone.But at this moment, the person he was apologizing to was curled up and silent, leaving only his indifferent and thin back.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

look!Yin Chun, you have pissed off that hot-tempered puppet!

The kind that can't be coaxed back by a hundred strings of candied haws!

Now it's India. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I don't know. Pour

In fact, Xie Hengyan's mentality almost exploded at this time. After finally seeing her father, he changed his appearance and allowed Nanny to go up!

It was hard to save someone, but in the end, people oppressed him, and they always didn't treat him as a human being.

Maybe if Yin Chun doesn't hurry up to smooth his hair in the future, this silly dog ​​will become a mad dog.
