no puppet

"...I don't know." Yin Chun smiled helplessly, with a somewhat dazed expression on his face.

Xie Hengyan was also speechless, he turned his head and put his face into Yin Chun's arms, after a long while, he said weakly: "I don't care about you anymore, just think about it yourself."

Yin Chu: "..."

I don't know if it was because of being overly frightened just now, although Xie Hengyan talked a lot tonight, he was extraordinarily cold and distant.

Two people are very close, but the two hearts are actually very far apart.

... is the kind of distance that has never been seen before.

It turns out that there are completely different people in the two worlds. Their respective ways of thinking about problems will naturally cause a huge gap due to the differences in the surrounding environment.

There are some tough barriers that cannot be broken from the very beginning.

——Even if one of them has made many attempts.

So there was another long silence between the two of them.On the way, Yin Chun tried to say something, but his mind was blank, and his tongue was clumsy. He felt that he could not find any suitable words to relieve the embarrassment except for the three words "sorry". .

In the end they didn't say anything, and Xie Hengyan just curled up in a ball like this, leaning against Yin Chun's arms and fell asleep until her breathing gradually became heavy.

But at this time Yin Chun couldn't sleep.He looked up at the thin and narrow window above his head, and felt the salty sea breeze blowing, but it was bitter and cold when it hit his face.

But this tranquility didn't last long, and it was only a short time for a stick of incense. Suddenly there were slight footsteps outside the corridor.Xie Hengyan slept very lightly, opened her eyes almost immediately, and then heard someone whispering outside: "Master Xie, the master is calling you over there."

"……What's up?"

Xie Hengyan hurriedly crawled out of Yin Chun's arms, and walked to the door with searching and concerned eyes.

"Master just wants to call you over."

"Understood, I'll come right away." Xie Hengyan looked back at Yin Chu, thought for a while, and said patiently, "You stay here, don't think about running elsewhere."

Yin Chun moved his lips, thinking about some words halfway, but they were still stuck in the middle of his throat, and he couldn't utter them smoothly.

After a while, it was still the dimmest low room at the end of the corridor.

Xie Cong crossed his legs and sat leisurely in the wooden rattan chair, busy playing with a delicate and unique vase between his hands.

It wasn't until the door "squeaked" that Xie Hengyan pushed it inward. Xie Cong just stopped what he was doing, looked at his son's extra pale face today, smiled, and said mockingly: "You are wearing a stinky face. Face, who is it for?"

Xie Hengyan didn't pick up his words, and just said calmly: "What do you want from me?"

"It's nothing." Xie Cong wrote lightly, "I don't like you staying with other people, so I called you over."

Xie Hengyan: "..."

"Are you angry?" Xie Cong narrowed his eyes and looked at him.

Xie Hengyan: "...No."

"Didn't I let your little lover throw himself into the sea?" Xie Cong said lazily, "Why are you angry?"

Xie Hengyan lowered her eyelashes silently, but still didn't speak.

Xie Cong raised his cheeks and teased him: "My dear son, have a smile."

Xie Hengyan squeezed her face, and managed to give him a crooked smile.

"too ugly."

Xie Cong pretended to hit him with a vase, but the fellow stood up straight at once, as if he didn't know how to resist, just stood there in a daze, waiting for him to smash, beat and scold, he was willing to bear it.

In this case, Xie Cong felt that it was meaningless. After a while, he put the vase back, turned and leaned back in the chair, and said in a long voice: "Come here, give me a shoulder massage."

So Xie Hengyan moved to the back of the chair again, beat his back and rubbed his shoulders with all his heart, without any complaints at all.

It is clear that not long ago, Xie Cong still had such a ferocious and terrifying face, he wantonly pinched the bone needles in his hand, and tortured the puppet until his body was covered with bruises - but when they turned their heads, they seemed to be okay with each other Yes, as usual, Xie Cong had a smirk that could change at any time, and Xie Hengyan was also obedient to him as usual, never hitting back when hitting or scolding, really as docile and well-behaved as a puppy.

"Does your place still hurt?"

Xie Cong was halfway through drinking his tea, and somehow he thought of something, so he stretched out his hand and touched Xie Hengyan's chest.

Xie Hengyan hesitated for a moment, then said dully: "It doesn't hurt anymore."

Xie Cong said slowly, "Two more injections?"

Xie Hengyan: "If you feel happy to relieve your anger, it doesn't matter..."

Xie Cong: "You can't die anyway, right?"

Xie Hengyan: "...Maybe."

Xie Cong didn't speak anymore, Du Na's hands tapped the back of the chair impatiently, he didn't know if he was blocked by Xie Hengyan, or he really didn't want to speak out.

After waiting for a while, Xie Hengyan took the initiative to ask: "I just want to know, what is the purpose of your coming to Feng Town this time?"

Xie Cong squinted at him: "What are you doing? Make a trick so that you can inform that running dog?"

Xie Hengyan said: "I won't say it."

"You don't understand after I tell you." Xie Cong said indifferently, "What can you pretend to be with your little brain?"

"You... have tampered with your body?" Xie Hengyan asked suddenly.

Xie Cong stared back at him for a moment, his eyes froze.

"When I was still on Tongjing Island, I remember that you were an ordinary person." Xie Hengyan glanced at the ends of his hair carefully, "You didn't know how to do magic, I knew it."

Xie Cong mocked, "You know everything?"

"Have you...refined Karma Seal?"

Xie Hengyan stretched out a finger slowly, trying to push away the gray hair on the top of Xie Cong's head, but he slapped it away with his backhand.

"Take care of yourself."

Obviously, Xie Cong didn't like Xie Hengyan interfering too much in his affairs.

Since a long time ago, when they lived on Tongjing Island, it has been like this. Xie Hengyan was only allowed to move within a small area, and she was never even allowed to interfere with anything related to Xie Cong.

Xie Cong's restrictions on him have always been very strict - even today, their weird way of getting along has not been changed in the slightest.

——So Xie Hengyan asked herself to accompany Xie Cong for many years, but never had a deep understanding of him.

The father and son looked at each other for a moment, Xie Cong's expression was cold, without even the slightest extra emotion, while Xie Hengyan's eyes were low and his expression was submissive and gentle, but there was always a bit of sadness.

Finally, Xie Cong turned his head away slightly.

He really couldn't stand Xie Hengyan looking at him like that - as if he was so lonely and helpless to the point of despair.

That was the son brought up by Xie Cong himself.

Never resist, never deviate, never try to go away.

Because of this, he has been standing still at the same place, and from the beginning to the end, he has been a puppet loyal to protect the Lord - but in a certain sense, he has not really become Xie Cong's son.

It just so happens that the grudge between them is here.

"...you come with me."

Xie Cong suddenly made a cold sound.

Xie Hengyan regained consciousness immediately, seeing that Xie Cong had pushed open the door and walked out to the dimly lit corridor in the cabin.

The two moved forward little by little along the edge of the darkness, and after a short walk, Xie Cong leaned on a wooden crutch and went down another step. Xie Hengyan followed behind him in a daze, and couldn't help asking: "... What are you going to do?"

Xie Cong didn't turn his head back: "Stop talking nonsense, if you don't come, get out."

The cabin itself is not large, but the layout of the interior space is very tortuous and crowded.Just like the small wooden house they lived in back then, if Xie Cong hadn't been willing to lead them forward, with Xie Hengyan's carefree temperament, it would be impossible to get a thorough understanding of this place - let alone go to the next step. where it is extended.

They walked for about half a while, until the lights in the corridor were completely obliterated in front of them, and when they got close to the bottom of the steps——Xie Hengyan's heart skipped a beat, and then her ears pricked up, and finally heard the sound coming from inside the cabin. There was a low growl similar to that of a wild beast, and when many wooden puppets were swinging their limbs, they would always make a crisp sound of "click" and "click".

So even though the narrow space below the steps is all dark and half a candle is not lit for illumination, Xie Hengyan can still use this to judge that the familiar monsters gathered in the cabin... are probably Xie Cong who has been domesticated for a long time in recent years puppet.

"Is it a puppet?" Xie Hengyan stretched out his hand to grope around, and finally touched the corners of several iron cages and door locks as he wished, "You...you really are raising a puppet!"

Xie Cong didn't give an answer right away, but just let Xie Hengyan observe and circle around, as if he had discovered some shocking secret, he was so surprised that he couldn't be more surprised.

"I just said...you left the island all these years to domesticate these things outside?"

Xie Hengyan stood beside the cage and stared dryly, but saw that there was very little light at the bottom of the cabin. In the dimness and chaos, only a few smears of light could be vaguely seen, which looked like the wings of a few fireflies in the night, flying around. Flickering within a low and narrow range.

"Why?" Xie Hengyan asked, "So you don't like to touch these things."

Xie Cong said, "Look again, what are they?"

Xie Hengyan shook her head: "It's too dark here, I can't see clearly at all."

Xie Cong: "Then you guess."

Xie Hengyan: "...It's a monster."

Xie Cong: "..."

Xie Hengyan frowned slightly, in a trance, as if thinking of something, suddenly asked: "Could it be a human?"

Xie Cong didn't say anything, let's just say it was his default.

"Really human?"

Xie Hengyan looked into the cage in disbelief, the strange figures with karma marks on their heads, hissing like monsters——

It is really hard to imagine that they will be the so-called "people".

"I didn't intend to do anything to those stupid townspeople who were dying to live in Fenglai Town this time, nor did I think about going against Biyu Mansion or Rong Mansion."

Xie Cong didn't answer his question directly, but from another aspect, he solved Xie Hengyan's biggest doubt all the time: "I was simply entrusted by an old friend to help him realize an unfulfilled wish."

Xie Hengyan is the true loyal dog

But this loyal dog is only limited to treat Xie Cong

But Xie Cong hates his behavior

So it became an endless loop of mutual abuse of heart and body!
