Every day's begging is Xia Ge's return full of fruit, and Ye Ze's hands are empty.
It's half a month in a flash.
"Today is a good day."
Xia Ge held the dog's tail grass in his mouth, "Look at the lanterns over there... Why is Ozawa's boss so face?"
Ye Ze was too lazy to pay attention to her, and ate his steamed buns seriously.
Ye Ze has always been begging alone, but since Xia Ge came, inexplicably they became two people together.
He was not used to it, so he didn't have a good look on Xia Ge.
It was indeed very lively over there, Xia Ge liked to join in the fun, and pulled him up, "Let's go and find out."
Ye Ze glared at her, "You have a lot of things to do, you go by yourself, I won't go."
Xia Ge regretted.
It's so lively, it seems that maybe someone's daughter is married, and maybe they can get some wedding candy.
Passers-by were chatting nearby.
"Whose daughter is getting married?"
Xia Ge suddenly pricked up his ears, dropped Ye Ze, who was unwilling to move, and followed step by step, pretending to be passing by.
"Hey, what's the marriage, it's the Chu family... Do you know the Chu family in Chang'an?"
The observers gasped when they heard the words, "Chu family? Could this family be a branch of the Chu family in Chang'an?"
Xia Ge raised his head and looked, ho, no, the lights and firecrackers flew in unison, and the plaque on the door was dancing with dragons and phoenixes.
Chang'an... the Chu family?
"That's the family." Someone next to him nodded, "The concubine of this family becomes the eldest daughter, this kind of event really needs to be decorated."
"Huh? What does that mean?"
A prostitute becomes a daughter-in-law? Not marrying a daughter?
No candy to grab.
Xia Ge suddenly lost all her enthusiasm, and continued to listen to it with little interest.
"I heard that the concubine was brought up because the main wife of the head of the family died..."
"Dead? How did you die?"
"It is said to the outside world that he died of illness, who knows."
"Ah? That person just died... Only a few days ago, this lantern is a bit... not suitable, right?"
"This is to celebrate the completion of the ceremony of the new eldest daughter. The funeral ceremony for the wife has been held for several days." The man said, he was aroused by others, and said mysteriously, "It is said that the wife is a little crazy. , although everyone said that he died of illness, but I don't believe it, I have a friend who works in Chang'an, and I heard that it was really tragic when the wife died... Both eyes were pulled out, and the whole body was covered in blood... "
Hearing this, the listener gasped, "So terrible?!"
"It's also a rumor, a rumor." The man couldn't help sighing when he finished speaking, "Oh, but it's true... Because the daughter born was not favored by the father, and ended up in such a tragic end, it's also a pitiful person."
The other person also shook his head when he heard the words, and then looked at the lanterns and sighed, "After you sing, I will appear. This rich and powerful family really can't see the appearance."
The world only looks at the prosperous and enviable surface, but who knows how many nameless bones buried in the bottom.
"The skinny camel is bigger than the horse. The Chu family is the royal family that once conquered the four seas." The man who spoke laughed, "It's not surprising that this happened."
Xia Ge was a little sighed when she heard it at the end. She has really seen what it means to be a mother and a child.
But it doesn't seem to have anything to do with her filling her stomach...
It's not that the daughter is getting married, it's not sending wedding candy, it's just a simple celebration, it's really boring.
There seems to be a beautiful young lady over there... Acting like a spoiled child to ask for something to eat.
Xia Ge threw Ye Ze aside, and Sa Huan'er ran away.
Well, Ye Zejin's thighs with arms and legs can get steamed buns anyway.
System: "Host, your mission..."
Xia Ge: "Huh?"
It was only then that she remembered that she still had the task of becoming Ye Ze's trusted friend.
It's been half a month, and there is no progress, and I almost forgot.
"Hey... Jin Thigh is too stubborn." Xia Ge took a bite of the pastry she asked for from the young lady, and sighed with emotion, "Let him trust him wholeheartedly? It's too hard, too hard, I can't do it."
system:"… "
The system thought about it for a while, and said temptingly: "The reward is that you can learn very powerful Qing Gong! Then you can go wherever you want, and run as high as you want!"
Xia Ge's heart was a little shaken. Although he was not happy with the system's coaxing tone, it was true that Yi Duo didn't push himself.
But thinking of Ye Ze's temper, Xia Ge still shook his head pragmatically, "I can't do it."
Not a relative, not an acquaintance, expecting a child who has been destroyed to believe in others wholeheartedly?
Ye Ze was a little naive, but not stupid.
"Can't you lower your requirements?" Xia Ge thought for a while and tapped his hand, "Or else, as long as he believes me, you will reward me?"
System: "No..." How can you be so shameless.
Xia Ge simply said, "Either don't do it."
What kind of thing is light gong, it's a big deal not to learn it.
The system felt that Xia Ge didn't care—it really didn't matter.
It doesn't matter if you hug your thighs or not, it doesn't matter if you learn light power or not, as long as you can eat your stomach and feel happy, it doesn't matter if you can live and live your life.
Say it or not, it is true - don't do it.
Those with bare feet are not afraid of wearing shoes.
The system thought about it again and again, and finally reluctantly agreed to her request, but was not reconciled to her being too relaxed, and added: "But he must believe you when he says this!"
"whatever."
She wasn't going to do it anyway.
Xia Ge clapped his hands after eating the cake, and his eyes suddenly lit up, "Hey, Miss over there, your hairpin is so pretty—"
system:"… "
You go back and look for the golden thigh! !
Here, Ye Ze finished biting the steamed bun, and as soon as he looked up, Xia Ge disappeared.
Ye Ze: "..."
That unreliable stinky boy!
He clapped his hands depressed and stood up, glanced at the colorful lights of the Chu residence from a distance, snorted, and said in a low voice, "I don't know."
After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Once upon a time, the Ye family was like this...
Ye Ze retracted his thoughts and was about to leave when he suddenly heard a harsh scream!
"Ah - puppets! There are puppets!!"
Ye Ze was stunned for a moment, but the next moment, a person rushed out of the alley on the right-
No, not people.
It's just like a human being.
The green clothes it was wearing seemed to be a woman, with a painfully dark demonic energy spreading across her face. In the end, the demonic energy condensed together and spread on her body. The light green clothes were slowly dyed black by the demonic energy. The devilish energy lingered like the night, turning the dress into a black cloak. The material of her face seemed to be some kind of metal. With the spread of the devilish energy, the metal face gradually turned into a hideous bronze mask. Very fast, jumping from one alley to another, passing Ye Ze at the moment—
Ye Ze saw the tears overflowing from the corners of his eyes under its bronze mask.
Tears slid across the cheeks covered by demonic energy, and fell on Ye Ze's face a second before the bronze mask took shape.
ice cold.
"Watch out - it caught a child!!"
"Oh my God!!"
The scene in front of his eyes was a little bit, and the world was spinning. Ye Ze realized that he was caught!
However, it has been ignored.
The demonized puppet quickly got rid of all those who were chasing it.
Ye Ze opened his eyes and looked at the hideous bronze mask on top of his head and the pitch-black cloak turned into demonic energy. The scene that night was like a nightmare.
... the same is true... demonized puppets.
destroyed his home.
took everything from him.
-Why is there such a thing as a puppet in this world?
Why did those puppet masters make them... they made them, and why did they indulge them so wanton and destroy everything else? ! !
why! ! ? !
Why make it so painful! ! !
Ye Ze opened his eyes, almost instinctively wanting to reach out and grab the neck of the demonized puppet—
He's going to kill these puppets!
He wants to avenge the more than 200 people killed by his Ye family! ! !
How could they take everything from him—
However, in the next second, his hands were patted away, his neck was pinched by the demonized puppet, and he was gradually unable to breathe.
The puppet's eyes were originally black and white, but now they are slowly spreading blood.
A completely demonized puppet, some eyes will turn red.
Lost last sanity.
- Are you going to die?
Dying... right.
Nothing is done...to die.
Not reconciled—
So unwilling!
Ye Ze was about to be strangled to death over there. Here Xia Ge was full of food and drink. He was squatting in the corner to count the coins he had asked for in the past two weeks, thinking about whether it would be enough for her to change her shoes. , the dumb hair on the top of her head that she didn't have time to sway swayed, and a black shadow ran past her eyes.
Xia Ge couldn't keep up: "This man runs really fast..."
But the alley he entered seems to be a dead end, wait, why does the person in his arms look so familiar... eh? !
The next moment is the sharp sound of the system! !
[Notice! ! Urgent task! ! Save the Son of Destiny! ! ! Save him before he dies! !]
Xia Ge was shocked by the sound, his brain numb, and what flashed in his mind was Ye Ze, whose face was red with the neck strangled in the arms of the man in black. Almost the next second, his butt was on fire, and he moved towards the man in black. Dead alley rushed over: "Is there a reward?!"
System: "No!"
Xia Ge: "… "
System: "This is an accident, I can't control it, but I can put water in the previous task reward... If you can make him wholeheartedly believe that you can do one thing, there will be a reward!"
…what a mess.
[Skill Reward: One hit must hit!]
In fact, Xia Ge just asked casually, and the person had already rushed to the alley and braked!
"You stop me!"
Loud and powerful!
The hand of the demonized puppet that was pinching Ye Ze's neck shook slightly, the red in his eyes dissipated slightly, and he looked back at Xia Ge in a daze.
The system checked it and confirmed: "This is the puppet that was just demonized!"
As soon as Xia Ge saw the terrifying evil ghost's bronze mask, he was instantly stunned, and then looked at the tall, gloomy puppet, and then thought that he couldn't do anything and ran over to try his best, and his bowels of regret turned green.
What the heck is it, what the hell is it? It's so scary! !
As if she really had a way to save people, why did she rush out without thinking? !
System: "Good shout! You scared it!"
Freed from the puppet's hands, Ye Ze's eyes were blurred, and he was led by his neck while running.
Who was shouting just now?
Is it the one who came to rescue him?
He doesn't want to die... He can't die... He wants revenge! How can you just die here!
Anyway...
Xia Ge took a step back silently, "I think... this, I should call someone to be more rational, haha..."
She has slender arms and slender legs, and her strength is a bit stronger than ordinary people. This person is not a ghost or a ghost, and she can play things very well at a glance. It is really not something she can do!
It's like LV0 vs LV101!
The system screamed: "When you call someone here, the daylily will be cold!! It's cold!!"
"Don't be shy, come on! You can do it!"
Xia Ge: "Fuck you know how to scream, you can do it!!"
System: "I only let you in if I can't do it!"
Xia Ge: "… "
But now it's too late to run.
The next second it saw Xia Ge, the red eyes that had faded, turned red again!
System: "That's great, he's following you first!!"
It was excited: "This way, I can't think of strangling it first! Ye Ze is saved!"
Xia Ge was almost choked to death by the system's words.
Nima! I'm not fucking human? ! She is being watched! It should be cool too, okay? ! It's cool! !
As the system said, because it was staring at Xia Ge, the demonized puppet didn't bother to care about Ye Ze's life or death. But still holding on firmly and not letting go, he slowly walked towards Xia Ge.
Xia Ge had goosebumps from start to finish, looking at Ye Ze, who was being pinched so hard, and the puppet who was slowly approaching, his whole body was stiff.
Ye Ze coughed twice, and opened his eyes in a daze. It was a dark and dead alley with a dim light at the entrance.
—Who came to save him...?
Some young children stood at the alley, staring at him in the twilight of the sun.
Is it that Xia Wuyin... idiot?
He raised his head, and in the fog, he vaguely saw the demonized puppet staring at Xia Wuyin, with a ferocious blood in his eyes.
The demonized puppet is staring at him...
So let go of his neck.
For a moment, his thoughts were mixed, and a dark thought emerged in his mind.
To catch the last straw... Ye Ze.
You have carried so much on your shoulders, you have to do whatever you can to survive.
This puppet has already targeted that idiot named Xia Wuyin, as long as it catches Xia Wuyin, you can find a chance to escape...
- What does the life and death of others have to do with you? You just need to live!
—You're not the same as this grinning fool who doesn't know anything! You are carrying more than 200 wronged souls from the Ye family! More than 200 lives, you should live, only by living can you avenge them!
- Xia Wuyin is just a little beggar, if he dies, he will die! What's with you? !
isn't it? !
"...Let's go." Ye Ze heard his own voice.
She was trying her best to turn her head and run away, but Xia Ge, who was afraid of not being able to move, suddenly became stiffer when she heard the words. She hadn't turned around to run, so she met Ye Ze's eyes.
Dark alleys.
Those eyes were filled with tears.
Obviously full of unwillingness, anger, despair, and even desperate, like a prisoner who has reached a dead end.
Tears of despair flowed, but there was an inextinguishable glimmer of light in his eyes.
Unwilling, but proud.
Although he is in the dark, he seems to be carrying the glory that he would rather die than give in!
The boy does not cry easily.
"Go away! I'll let you go!! Xia Wuyin!!"
"Did you fucking hear that!!"
The faint sound at first turned into a deadly roar in the end!
The demonized puppet that was originally staring at Xia Ge was alarmed by the voice of the person in his hand, and his attention shifted to him. The next moment, Ye Ze's neck was pinched again!
The roaring stopped abruptly.
… can’t breathe anymore.
Everything in front of him gradually blurred, and he could vaguely see the back of the man named Xia Wuyin staggering away.
gone.
he's gone.
—Why, obviously, want to live.
—Why… or…
in hazy memory.
"Aze."
A middle-aged man with a stern face, a rare smile appeared on his lips, "...You are going to become the pride of our Ye family."
—You have to become the pride of the Ye family.
Yes.
This sentence.
Only this sentence.
Inscribed in the heart.
He has no home.
he has nothing
He can no longer lose the pride of the Ye family!
He can't be like a despicable villain, stepping on other people's lives to live...
It is impossible to humiliate the only remaining blood of the Ye family!
A woman in simple clothes happened to enter the study room. After listening to the middle-aged man, she touched her stomach and smiled softly, "Aze is going to give your unborn brother, ah, maybe a sister... Be a good example. ."
The middle-aged man hurriedly said, "Why is Madam here... It's only been two months, slow down, slow down..."
"… "
Memories are like dreams, and the past is like smoke.
… really, to die.
I'm sorry... Father, Azer is useless.
I'm sorry... Mother...
At this moment, there was a "bang", and the hand that was pinching his neck suddenly loosened!
Suddenly exposed to the fresh air, Ye Ze coughed frantically, almost to death!
- Why did you let go?
He raised his head, only to find that the mask of the demonized puppet and the left half of his head had been smashed into a hole by a rock the size of a fist, and the rock shook on the ground, proving his existence.
Not far away, the backlit little boy was panting, and there was a stone about the size of him in his hand. He stared at him, word for word.
"Say, you... believe me."
Didn't he just run away? ! Why are you still here? !
Believe it or not? ! You are running!
Ye Ze's eyes widened, "... Run! I told you to run, did you hear the fuck—"
The demonized puppet is provoked! Pulling Ye Ze, he rushed towards Xia Ge!
Xia Ge was very afraid, and her feet were shaking. She had never been so afraid in her last life for more than 20 years and three years in this life.
Facing the fear of death.
But... no regrets.
It was the first time she saw such a person.
Even so painful, unwilling, desperate.
Can also be so proud and full of glory.
Fascinated.
She felt she could save the man.
Not because of the system, not because of the task, just think, this person is worth it.
"Say you believe me!!!"
Xia Ge pinched the stone, stared at Ye Ze's eyes, and hissed, "Ye Ze! You believe me!!!"
"Say you believe me... believe me!"
Trust me I can save you!
The demonized puppet was getting closer and closer, and it started to throw a punch, straight at Xia Ge's head!
Xia Ge was so scared that she was about to cry.
But say goodbye not to cry.
Fist style, so close at hand—
Ye Ze's voice was almost roaring—
"I believe in you!!! Go away!"
Anyway... let him be a hero before he dies!
[Ding! mission completed! Congratulations to the host for becoming Ye Ze's trusted friend!]
[—Get the bonus skill, Ghosts and Shadows!]
The next moment, the demonized puppet was empty, and the young boy holding the stone disappeared suddenly, the puppet's fist fell into the empty space, and finally slammed into the wall with a "bang", and it was born on the stone wall. There's a big hole in it!
If this hits someone's head, one can imagine it!
Ye Ze's mind was also empty.
What about people...?
very light.
As if to fly.
The demonized puppet felt that something was wrong, and turned around abruptly. Whoever hit the head with a stone in the face, became dizzy, his hand loosened slightly, and Ye Ze, who was being dragged by his hand, was pulled away!
Xia Ge was as light as a swallow, grabbed Ye Ze from it and ran away, but she had just obtained the light power, and she was a little staggered. Twisting seven or eight, although he was a little dizzy, he pulled the clothes on Xia Ge's shoulders with his empty hands!
Ye Ze was still in a state of "I seem to have been rescued".
Xia Ge was pulled so hard that he was about to be pulled away by the puppet, so he gritted his teeth, went up and slapped Ye Ze to bring him back to his senses, and grabbed his shoulders to prevent himself from being pulled away, with a grim expression, " Said you believe that Laozi can save you!!!”
-Believe me!
Believe me wholeheartedly, wholeheartedly! !
The young boy in front of him pinched his shoulders, and the whole person seemed to be pulled away. Ye Ze was slapped back to his senses and looked into Xia Ge's eyes—
This little boy looks like a shining light.
Those eyes seemed to be burning with raging flames.
A person with such eyes, why is it so rare for him?
Like a ghost, Ye Ze murmured—
"I believe you."
whole-heartedly.
I believe you can do it!
Ye Ze opened his eyes wide, and every word he was very sure—
"I believe you!"
- So, even if it was saved, right? ! In this way, even if you have completed your "wholehearted" belief, right? !
[Ding! mission accomplished! Congrats to the host for acquiring the skill - one hit is sure to hit!]
[Skill explanation: As long as you have a goal in your heart, give a starting force, no matter where the direction is, you will reach the goal in your heart like Cupid's arrow! Come on!]
Cupid, the goddess of love, is what a gimmick! ! I just want to live now!
The next moment, Xia Ge, who was grabbed by his shoulders and clothes, lifted his foot and turned around and kicked the stone that fell to the ground before—
The rain god is above!
[One hit is sure to hit!]
The clothes on the shoulders were torn apart by the demonized puppet! The next moment, the stone that Ben kicked towards Ye Ze's face made a 180-degree turn in the air and smashed into the face of the demonized puppet!
The demonized puppet shook and let go.
Xia Ge didn't care about pulling his clothes, and dragged Ye Ze before he recovered from "How can a stone turn a corner?" and ran away, "You're so fucking stupid!! Run!"
Embarrassed to flee.
Xia Ge unconsciously opened the ghost trail and ran at an inhuman speed. Ye Ze was so dizzy that he lost his strength and staggered. He raised his head and wanted to say something, but a pink butterfly suddenly came into view.
Perched on sleek shoulders, tiny, pink butterflies.
It was Xia Wuyin's shoulders that were torn apart by the demonized puppet before.
Ye Ze didn't say anything in the end and let him pull himself away.
The two ran all the way out of town.
Xia Ge and Ye Ze both felt that they were dying.
For the rest of his life after the catastrophe, Xia Ge breathed evenly, then pulled on Ye Ze's shirt, with a hideous expression on his face, "I, I'll tell you, stinky boy... Give it to me later, be honest, don't , don't run around for me..."
Ye Ze muttered three words: "..."
Xia Ge didn't hear clearly, "What did you say?"
Ye Ze: "... sissy."
Sissy with butterflies on shoulders.
Xia Ge: "… "
I am grass.
= =
Xia Ge felt that the old beggar was a wise man.
For example, he can accurately kill a mosquito with a fan every day.
Steady and ruthless.
Xia Ge can't.
Because no mosquitoes bit her.
Well this is a cold joke.
The first task of the system, after she has completed it, although it is really a matter of life and death, but it's okay... Is it worth it?
That is to say, she is now Ye Ze's little friend. Oh, the little friend of Long Aotian with golden thighs, sounds a bit nauseous.
There are also skills, ghosts and shadows, and one hit will hit.
Very useful light work... um.
Although sometimes I can't control myself and I will fall, but fortunately there was no accident at that time.
The night was a little darker tonight.
After Ye Ze's little friend called her sissy, it wasn't over yet. After coming back, he was very worried, and it was really sad to avoid her like a snake.
Xia Ge used to close his eyes outside, but who knows, he opened them again after a while.
Xia Ge couldn't sleep, and thought of the tall puppet wearing a mask and a black cloak during the day.
The system told her that it was a demonized puppet.
Not a lot of fun.
Xia Ge vaguely remembered that the demonized puppets were like cannon fodder in the book.
The cannon fodder again belongs to the villain camp.
She's San Wu who can't get along with the villain for a penny... Oh no, the top ten boys.
The system explained to her the reason for the formation of the demonized puppet.
"Oh... You mean, it turns out to be a good puppet, and it can even be a normal person... In ten years, it will be demonized and hurt people?" Xia Ge slapped his tongue, "Today that puppet has just been demonized, and it was so dead that Ye Ze touched it. ?"
System: "That's right."
Xia Ge: "As expected of the protagonist's accident system..."
Suffocating.
The night wind is a little cool.
System: "Although it's not very good to say this, you have to remember that in the future... no, you will be a puppet master soon."
Xia Ge: "Oh..."
system:"… "
System: "Those bad things are made by puppet masters."
Xia Ge: "Oh."
System: "But don't worry, I am the puppet system, and I will make you the most powerful puppet master who no one needs to be afraid of!"
Xia Ge suddenly asked.
"Being the most powerful puppet master, can I go home?"
system:"… "
"Can?"
System: "Maybe... I don't know."
Xia Ge: "How could you not know?"
System: "Something went wrong..."
System: "However, if you become the most powerful puppet master, you may be able to shatter the void and go wherever you want."
if.
Maybe.
Damn not sure.
Xia Ge raised his head and looked at the stars in the sky.
She has always been a lazy person.
If you don't want to do it, you won't do it in the first place. But if you do, you will stick to it.
won't look back.
She doesn't like to give up halfway.
So think about the puppet master.
Just thinking about it, Xia Ge raised his head and vaguely saw a figure under the tree.
The man was holding a palm fan and fanning it, he was an acquaintance.
After a while, the old beggar waved to her.
If you don't sleep so late, don't all the elderly want to keep healthy?
Xia Ge thought about it and passed.
The old beggar was sitting under the willow tree, squinting, fanning, and basking in the moonlight. He seemed very bored, "Little baby, what's your name?"
Xia Ge tilted his head, "Xia Wu..."
The old beggar swung his fan and smiled wrinkled, "Real name, real name."
Xia Ge opened his eyes and said nonsense, "It's Xia Wuyin."
The old beggar sighed, "What do you and I have to hide from the old man who has half your feet in it? I can see who is lying and who is not lying."
Xia Ge: "… "
Why did she stay up in the middle of the night chatting with an old man.
"Hey, everyone has their own difficulties. If you don't talk about it, it has nothing to do with the old man." The old beggar fanned his fan and paused, "The old man is just afraid that you will hold it for too long and even forget his real name."
… none of your business.
Xia Ge thought.
The old man fanned the palm fan, and there was a faint moonlight in his cloudy eyes, "I have seen many children like you."
"I thought I was smart, but I was mistaken for being smart. The mouse box smashed my feet and screamed in pain."
Xia Ge: "...No."
This metaphor is really vivid and suffocating.
"Will it be, it's not you who has the final say."
The old beggar was not so much evaluating Xia Ge, but rather thinking about the past. A pair of cloudy eyes looked through the flying willow branches, "It depends on your fate."
after awhile.
The cicadas chirped loudly, accompanied by the sound of frogs.
Xia Ge heard his low voice.
"My name is Xia Ge."
She looked up at the old man, as if to prove something, "Summer in summer, singing songs."
Will it be so painful to cry out and put it aside for the time being.
How could she forget her own name.
= =
the next day.
Ye Ze seemed to be making trouble yesterday, but when Xia Ge got up today, he unexpectedly saw him standing beside him.
"… "
After spending a night under the willow tree, Xia Ge, who had stretched his waist, was startled when he saw the shadows around him.
"Let's go." Ye Ze looked awkward, "...I heard that the owner of the puppet was caught yesterday."
The master of the puppet... the puppet master?
Xia Ge was stunned, "Ah, is it?"
She smiled, "Then let's go and see."
The two set off.
The town is surprisingly lively today.
Because there are unusual sights.
A woman in a gray and white prison uniform is locked in a wooden cage with heavy shackles.
Xia Ge was not tall enough to see, so Ye Ze dragged her to the front.
The people around were outraged.
"How can you do something so horrible!!"
"My God... it's just going against the sky."
"Puppet art has been banned for so many years..."
"Oh, it's also a miserable person..."
"… "
The two followed the prison van. Along the way, Xia Ge heard a lot of rumors.
For example, the demonized puppet yesterday was the dead wife of the puppet master, named Cuizhu.
Cuizhu is a beautiful lady, and her body has always been weak. On the Qiqiao Festival, she met the puppet master Alan who wandered into the town.
love at first sight.
Feijun does not marry.
It's a romantic but sad story.
For the sake of Cuizhu, Alan gave up his career as a puppet master and took a job, plus the savings he had saved as a puppet master to keep his life alive, his life was quite successful.
It's just that Cuizhu married a woman, gossip, was criticized, and her health was not good. In addition to the quarrel with her family, she was angry for a while, and her illness recurred. Holding A Lan's hand, she died in depression.
As a puppet master, Alan used to extend the lives of countless people, thugs, deserters, people who had a lot of wealth but oppressed the people, and people who were extremely vicious and greedy.
Most damn.
She can give them another ten years on earth.
Why can't Cui Zhu, whom Alan loves, not work?
Alan loves Cuizhu.
So she regained the puppet technique and gave Cui Zhu another ten years of life.
Yesterday was ten years.
Xia Ge raised his eyes and looked at the woman in the cage with no expression on her face.
Her face was haggard and her head was dyed with hoarfrost, but if she looked closely at her eyebrows and eyes, she could see the beauty she used to be.
"Snapped"
A rotten egg hit her in the face.
"How can you do such a crazy thing!"
Someone hugged the child and scolded, scolded and shed tears, "Did you know that my son died!! My son! I was strangled to death by that ghost!!"
When Xia Ge turned around, he noticed that the child in that person's arms was actually dead.
A three or four-year-old child with a blue neck and closed eyes.
Xia Ge suddenly felt cold all over.
Yesterday she dragged Ye Ze and ran away.
The demonized puppet remained.
So... go kill again?
"Damn her."
Ye Ze suddenly spoke up.
"… what?"
Xia Ge was taken aback.
Because people were so afraid of being separated, he squeezed Xia Ge's wrist. The nine-year-old child had a firm expression. He pointed to the woman in the cage and repeated, "Damn her."
"Why?" Xia Ge smiled and asked.
Ye Ze looked at the woman wearing the shackles, "Because she is a puppet master."
"So, damn it."
Word by word, very firm.
For some reason, Xia Ge was not only cold on his body, but also cold in his heart.
The words of the system yesterday are still in my ears.
-You will become the most powerful puppet master.
"Ah... Really." Xia Ge smiled, "Maybe... Well, I mean, I think so too."
After a pause, "But this woman is also a poor person."
Ye Ze pointed at the child not far away, stared at Xia Ge, and asked, "Isn't that child pitiful?"
Xia Ge's throat felt like a ball of cotton was stuck, and it froze.
In this scene, it was as if half a month ago, she had taught Aaron a hard lesson, took back her steamed buns, and asked Ye Ze that the person who was robbed of the steamed buns was not pitiful.
But this time, the roles have changed.
Xia Ge thought in hindsight.
Who is a saint?
Actually the roles are switched.
Everyone is the same.
Always subconsciously favor the side that is in your favor.
Because Xia Ge might become a puppet master, she sympathized with each other and felt pity for her.
But the child who died because of that puppet master.
Just as poor.
Ye Ze was the same at that time, he just felt that Aaron was miserable because he got closer and knew that Aaron was really miserable.
And she was just a stranger to Ye Ze at that time.
So Ye Ze instinctively favored Aaron.
Even if he did something wrong.
People's hearts are biased, and who is more noble than the other.
Why would she go to teach others a lesson from the top?
The woman was pushed to the stake.
The person who opened the cage rudely pulled the person out, tied her to the rack, and placed a circle of firewood. From beginning to end, the woman named Alan had a numb expression.
Xia Ge's eyes widened: "...Want to burn at the stake?"
Ye Ze: "Of course she will be burned at the stake. Shouldn't she be punished severely if she did something wrong?"
Xia Ge wanted to say something, but there was a lot of hustle and bustle over there. She looked up and saw a few old people and a few young people beside them, men and women, and some were holding children.
They were smashed with rotten eggs, and people were desperately cursing them, expressing their anger and disgust.
Xia Ge didn't know why, but suddenly she didn't want to talk to Ye Ze. She tugged at the sleeves of the other person and showed her usual pitiful appearance, "Those people... Who are they?"
"Where is the child..." The person who was caught was stunned for a moment, then saw Xia Ge's attire, and frowned in disgust, "Little beggar."
"Can you tell me?" Xia Ge laughed.
Watery eyes, sweet, seem to be able to speak.
The man paused, his voice softened slightly, "Do you know about this man?"
Xia Ge nodded obediently, "I know, she's a bad woman who acts as a puppet. I heard a lot of rumors about her along the way."
"Then do you know her wife?" the man said disdainfully, "it's that rubbish that has to survive even after death."
I'm talking about the man named Cui Zhu.
He raised his chin in that direction, "That's the trash's maiden."
Xia Ge looked at the group of people who were silent and did not speak, and were cursed by the world, and the smile on their faces suddenly couldn't hold it any longer.
... just because of a little relationship with the puppet master.
To suffer such criticism and disgust.
"...This matter has nothing to do with them, doesn't it?" Xia Ge tried his best to put on an innocent expression, "They didn't kill anyone, why did they do this?"
How could it not matter.
Of course it matters, a lot.
But Xia Ge just wanted to ask.
"Because they are the in-laws of the puppet master!" The man said naturally, "You must know that she is a puppet master, right?! Because of her close kinship with the puppet master... It's such a good life, maybe if you ask for help before you die, you will be able to live longer. Ten years - don't know how many people will die at their hands in ten years!"
In a sarcastic tone, "Even if this is not the case, indulge your daughter to marry a puppet master, where is the face!"
"Why don't you die like this rubbish?"
Xia Ge tugged at the corner of his clothes, and didn't know when to release it.
She raised her eyes and looked at the group of people.
Some even have children.
A bear boy picked up a stone and threw it at it, "The big bad guy who is related to the puppet master!"
The mother holding the child subconsciously lowered her head to protect the child in her arms, but the stone hit her head.
Red blood flowed down.
"Stop!" Xia Ge blurted out: "Someone was hurt—"
But I heard someone laugh, "Good job!!"
"… "
Then came the piercing cheers.
Like the devil's carnival.
One of the old men finally broke down, "I have nothing to do with her!! I have nothing to do with the puppet master!! I don't have that daughter!! My daughter is long dead!! Long dead - my daughter didn't marry the puppet master ,No-"
"… "
Xia Ge stood on the spot, cold all over.
—You will soon be a puppet master.
Ye Ze said: "Hey... over there..."
Xia Ge looked back at the stake.
Over there, I saw that the puppet that was deformed by Xia Ge's two stones had been dismantled and thrown to the woman at the stake!
Legs, hands, mask, cape.
The woman who had always been expressionless, when she saw the puppet's body, her expression froze for a second, and then she burst into tears.
In a loud voice.
Xia Ge heard her murmur in pain.
"Cuizhu..."
"sorry Sorry… "
One after another, pain and despair.
Someone was on fire.
The raging flames burst into flames!
The air began to twist.
Ye Ze stared at the flames in the distance, and suddenly thought inexplicably of the cold tear that fell on the puppet's face before he was taken away yesterday.
He was suddenly lost.
... puppets, do they cry too?
He suddenly heard the young man next to him whispering, "Let's go..."
Ye Ze bowed his head.
However, he saw the young man who had always been smiling, with wet eyes reflecting the throbbing flames.
"Ye Ze." The boy's voice was soft. "I am a little scared."
Ye Ze was stunned.
"I do not want… "
I don't want to be a puppet master.
In that case, really.
So lonely.
Ye Ze was silent for a while.
Finally, he sneered and said softly.
"Go back...you're such a sissy."
Isn't it just burning at the stake, what are you crying for?
