no puppet

"What's there!"

"Don't be a monster, right? Grab it, grab it!"

"Beware of them hurting people!"

Not long after Yin Chun pulled Xie Hengyan behind him, suddenly dozens of completely unfamiliar pitch-black figures sprang up from the front, back, left, and right sides like a tide. Give it a complete break.

It was late at night, and there was no light or shadow on the sea, except for the paper lanterns held by the surrounding people, which swayed slowly in the sea breeze, making it extremely difficult for people to open their eyes.After finally regaining their strength, the small boat they were in was surrounded and blocked by the surrounding medium-sized ships.

"What, what's going on!" Xie Hengyan hid behind Yin Chun, and couldn't help saying in horror, "Where did the boat come from this place, it can't be a ghost?"

Yin Chun's expression was not very good-looking: "I don't know."

The two stood in the middle of a group of boats, they didn't know what to say for a while, but suddenly they heard some noisy water sounds coming from their ears, and then the bows of the boats approached slowly and continuously, until they reached the broken wood with them. The boats were close together and hit each other with a soft "bang".In the meantime, there were several chaotic tall and short figures holding lanterns, without saying a word, they just pointed forward and shone on the faces of Yin Chun and Xie Hengyan, making the faces of those two people who had been deprived of water and food for many days pale.

Thanks to the sudden lights around her, Xie Hengyan finally saw clearly what was on board these dark ships——

They are not ghosts or monsters, but a group of living people who have never met before.All of them were carrying lamps, straw hats on their heads, coir raincoats, wooden paddles, fishing nets and other miscellaneous items, dressed as ordinary fishermen, but now when they saw Xie Hengyan and Yin Chun, they regarded them as monsters and exchanged He stared dryly for a while—in the end it was a man who jumped down from the bow of the boat, about 50 or [-] years old, with an unshaven beard and a very unfriendly expression. Why are you still strolling on the sea at night!"

Yin Chun tried to move his lips, but was immediately interrupted by a questioning voice behind him.

"Don't think it's really a monster...it's rare to see any people in our place during the day, so how can we meet living people at this moment!"

"If it's not a monster, it could be a pirate or something. Don't go there, be careful that someone will kill you!"

"It's just two people, Laoshizi's pirates, they're dying—I think they're from monsters!"

Xie Hengyan was so shocked that his face turned green, and he thought that this group of people must be guessing and doubting like this, couldn't he and Yin Chun have the same idea?

However, just as he finished thinking about these words, before he had time to refute, the people around him jumped off across the hull and jumped directly onto the bow of the two of them——Yin Chu saw this , immediately showed an extremely defensive expression, but he has been sleepless for two consecutive days, and he has been busy taking care of a half-dead Xie Hengyan, and his physical strength has long been exhausted. He didn't even have the strength to speak.

"We are not pirates, and we are not monsters." Seeing that the crowd was getting more and more chaotic, Yin Zhu had no choice but to explain, "It was because of an accident on the cargo ship that we were there before that we were desperate, so we ended up here."

"In the past, there were trolls on the sea who came to us to deceive us, and they used your stupid excuses." Someone in the crowd quickly retorted, "Someone in the village rescued them kindly, but that night... they were eaten. Not even a bone is left."

Yin Chu: "..."

Xie Hengyan: "..."

"Tie it back first, let the village chief see if it is a monster or something else." The middle-aged man who came down first said, "——If it is really a monster, we will directly tear Shen Hai into pieces. "

After speaking, several people walked out one after another, holding the hemp rope used to tie the baskets in their hands, and directly stepped towards Yinzhu Xie Hengyan.

Xie Hengyan has always been very timid, and she is most afraid of crowded scenes. This time, when she saw the strangers around her come up with ropes, she couldn't help but her eyes glowed, her hair stood on end, and when someone touched her for a moment, she immediately bared. There are two sharp fangs in his mouth, and his face is full of fear and defense.

And the fishermen around him looked very simple, and they had probably never encountered such a battle. When they saw the two bright fangs of the puppet, they were naturally terrified, holding the rope in their hands, but a little at a loss: " ...It's really a monster! You see, their teeth are so sharp, they are probably used for biting people!"

"My God, there seems to be... what about the other person?"

Everyone gathered together to look at Yinzhu again, but they saw that his mouth was ordinary, and he seemed to be quite different from Xie Hengyan who was with him. Just as he was wondering, Xie Hengyan broke free from the shackles by himself, and burrowed back into Yinzhu's arms to hide. Yin Chun was also at a loss, covering the puppet with both hands, motionless, only looked at the terrified faces beside him, frowned and lied: "He...isn't a demon, he was born with this appearance."

"Open your eyes and talk nonsense, with two teeth so long, what would a normal person do?"

"I don't think you are a good person. This monster is raised by you...You are so young, why did you go down a crooked path!"

Yin Chun only said: "The two of us don't have such things as karma seals on our heads. If you don't believe it, you can come and check."

"Yeah, you're calling out that others are monsters, and you're also baffled." Xie Hengyan said in a muffled voice, "It's such a big sea, and I still don't know who is the real monster..."

"Oh, the little thing has a tough mouth!" The fishermen around immediately annoyed, "Tie it up, tie it up!"

"Throw into the sea and feed the fish!"

"Feed the fish, feed the fish, feed the fish!"

The scene was chaotic for a while, because both sides insisted on pointing out that the source on the other side was unknown, so they couldn't stop arguing for a while. In addition, there were so many people dressed up by these fishermen.

Because of the suddenness of the incident, the fisherman who came by boat probably did not expect that such two non-monster and non-human characters would appear out of nowhere on the deserted sea at night.In the end, under the quarrel of the crowd, they made a final decision and decided to listen to what the middle-aged man said, first tie up the two suspicious characters and take them back. At that time, it will become an extremely easy matter to kill or cut into pieces.

So there was no more hesitation at the moment, the fishermen rushed forward, ignoring resistance and explanations, tied Yin Chun and Xie Hengyan together, threw their brains on the fishing boat and put them aside, and then jumped onto the bow of the boat bustlingly. Bring back the lanterns to illuminate the waterway, and drive the group of ships to sail elsewhere.

At that time, Yin Chun was weak all over, and Xie Hengyan was still in his arms, as if he couldn't leave him with a child.They also did not expect that now that they were living in such a state, they would meet some strangers at sea that they had never seen before.

The two had just escaped from the cargo ship and hadn't touched a drop of rice for a few days. Now that they saw a living person coming over, Yin Zhu felt a little more lucky that he was "saved".

But at this moment, Xie Hengyan's thinking was completely different from his.Monsters are monsters after all, now under the siege of these strangers, besides the superficial inadaptation, Xie Hengyan only has lingering fear and panic in his heart.

The two of them were really stuck together, and the hemp rope was not too tight, but they didn't have any extra strength to struggle, and the sea wind at the bow was strong, rustling in the ear, and it was really uncomfortable from the cold.Yin Chun was afraid that Xie Hengyan would be cold, so he pulled down his outer robe to cover his head, Xie Hengyan couldn't hold back halfway, and simply asked the fishermen who were punting the boat: "Hey, where are you going?"

The boatman glanced at the two of them indifferently, and said, "Go back to the village."

Xie Hengyan said: "Where did the village come from on the sea? I have been drifting for so long before, and I didn't see a village—you don't be monsters born in the sea, come out to eat people!"

"You are the monster. You have such long teeth. What is it if you are not a monster?" Someone came out and retorted, "I will go back to the village to meet the village chief. You little monster will suffer slowly. Just wait and see." .”

Seeing that the people on both sides were staring and about to start arguing again, Yin Zhen hurriedly pulled Xie Hengyan down, and sat down on the bow of the boat obediently, while the middle-aged man who started to question the two opened the curtain He walked out from the other end, wisps of white air rose in his hands, as if he was holding two bowls of warm clear soup, and without saying anything, he handed the two porcelain bowls to their hands facing each other, and said coldly: "drink."

Yin Chun looked sideways slightly, and exchanged a glance with Xie Hengyan—in the end, Xie Hengyan didn't care whether the soup was poisonous or not, and put the porcelain bowl in his hand, before Yin Chun could stop him, he raised his head and poured it all down , and finally licked his dry lips and said, "It seems to be ginger soup."

Yin Chu: "..."

"It looks like you're hungry." The middle-aged man squinted his eyes and asked, "Are you really fleeing?"

"Brother Wu, goblins can pretend to be garlic these days. It's nothing to just drink a bowl of ginger soup." The fisherman who was paddling at the stern called out to the man, "Did you forget? We saved those few people last time and died." The little goblin, you have a pitiful face... I'm sorry, I don't just like your bowl of ginger soup."

Yin Chuan lowered his head and stared at the porcelain bowl. He didn't bother to refute what others were saying for a while, so he simply followed Xie Hengyan's example, closed his eyes, and poured the whole bowl of ginger soup into his mouth inside.

——In an instant, heat flows into the throat, and the warmth suddenly arises.The original black and smoky pain also slowly faded away, replaced by an unusually strange, but at the same time subtly familiar comfort and sadness.

It wasn't until this moment that his heart, which had been tensed for several days, seemed to gradually fall back to its original place, with a slight pulsation returning to normal.

At the same time, the fleet of ships finally stopped at an extremely slow speed after traveling for a short period of time in the darkness.The big brother Wu who was handing ginger soup to him just now also happened to avert his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "...we're docked, let's get off the boat."

This is the second toughest...

I used software to spell words when I was coding today, and I finally saw the master's fairy hand speed... Of course, there are also hand speeds that are slower than mine, the kind that is 400 an hour.

Because it is a naked update, there may be revisions for typos and catching bugs later, and I will explain it in the speech at that time, but it will generally not affect the direction of the plot, so it can be ignored.
