Chapter 5: The Puppet

He walked through the streets, taking his whisk to knock on wood, carvings in stone, like a scribe striking a wine cup with a bamboo board. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info He knocked all the way to the middle of the city. Then the moon brightened, and a dragon head appeared on the stone, and then fled hurriedly, trying to slip through the stone and slip through the wood.

The old man unceremoniously waved it up with a whisk.

The dragon came out of the stones and wood in pain, and became a well-dressed man. He has embroidery of a very small dragon on his clothes, and he has only one hand.

The man gave the old man a fixed look and laughed, then turned around, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

The old man didn't chase anymore.

At this time, dark clouds surrounded the moon.

He saw a noodle shop next to him and walked in.

There was also a watchman and a passing merchant sitting in the noodle shop. The old man walked in and heard the boss say to him, "Are you a master of the Tao?" I thought the gods didn't eat. ”

As he said this, he still served noodles.

The old man said, "When my mother died, I dreamed that she cooked me a bowl of noodles to eat. ”

The boss's face was blurred in the heat: "People, they are all worried about the bowl of rice made by their mother." ”

"But I haven't eaten my mother's cooking. My mother gave birth to me and was divorced by my father. Later, when she died, I couldn't wear linen and filial piety. The old man picked up a piece of noodles with chopsticks and ate slowly, "My father doesn't want her, and she won't be my mother." I am a child raised by her with blood and bones, but I don't have her surname, and I can't count as her child. ”

The old man spit out a piece of meat and bones in his noodles and said, "You see, a woman is a piece of meat, everyone has to eat it, and some of them don't spit out the bones." ”

The heat in the pot is getting hotter and hotter. The boss's voice also became erratic, and he said, "Hurry up and eat, and go back when you're done." ”

"After thinking about it for so many years, I still feel that there is nothing wrong with me. I should cry for my mother, why do you think I'm wrong? ”

The old man said this seriously, and then looked at the watchmen and merchants around him with the eyeballs in his eyes, and said, "If you want to use thunder, you will split, I don't want to be any more immortals." I told you that day that my father had bullied my mother, and you thought I was unfilial. And now, I still think so. I also injured a dragon, and I really should use thunder to chop. ”

In the heat, the boss's face changed and became terrible.

There was a lot of thunder in the city tonight.

Sanniang was quite uneasy a few days ago, but tonight she is better. She leaned on the beauty couch in the corridor, and read the story of the student climbing over the wall through the red candle. Kue rested his chin on the cat's back and sat beside her, startled by the thunder.

Sanniang put down the book and beckoned to her: "Jiuzhong, I'll tell you a new story." ”

Kuju turned his face and asked, "What's the story?" ”

"It's nothing, an old fairy, just beat the dragon hard." After Sanniang finished speaking, she rubbed the corners of her forehead again.

"So, what happened to the old fairy?" The wind blew up the bead curtain and sent the beads to the nine-fold skirt. Jiuzhong didn't care about it, looked at Sanniang and asked for follow-up.

Sanniang said: "The old fairy is a person who was punished by God, and this time he fought the dragon again, and he was about to be struck by lightning." However, the old fairy did not regret doing this. He is a man who likes women, like a flower. He's going to help protect a girl. ”

Kuju understands now. She took the cat off the stool and into her arms, saying, "I know, I know what it means to like flowers." My sister also loves flowers. ”

Sanniang likes to make flower tea to drink.

Although spring is now in bloom, the flowers are still not fully blooming. Sanniang looked at the unclear branches in the yard, looked at the sky again, accepted the book, and beckoned Jiuzhong to say: "It has just thundered, it's time to rain." Let's go inside. ”

Kue obediently hugged the cat and followed. When the carved wooden door creaked shut, the rain from the sky crashed to the ground.

Wash away the shattered bones.

The man sat on the stone steps and looked earnestly at the rain on the ground.

The old man seemed to really hate him, and he used 120% of his strength. He touched his chest, and was dismayed to find that he had to recuperate for at least a dozen years, and that it would take some effort to kill.

He sat on the wet stone steps, silent, like a stone lion on either side.

When the rain was a little lighter, there was movement in the building behind him. He heard the sound of a quick descent downstairs. Although eager, her steps are still relatively light, and she seems to be a woman.

Then, he was hit on the shoulder, and he almost fell. The man paused and was about to run, but turned back and looked at him again.

She reached out and ran her hair through it, and the ring was covered in blood.

She smiled at the man, "Why are you here?" Is it his new family? ”

The lantern under the eaves swayed, casting a hazy light on her face, and even the blood stains on her body became inexplicably soft.

The man glanced at her and said lightly, "I'm tired, sit down and rest." ”

"No, you're not a housekeeper, and you're not a passerby. From now on, you are my lover. As if thinking of something, the woman stepped back slightly, and looked at him playfully, "I had an argument with my husband because I found a lover, and then, you and I killed him together." ”

The woman was clearly pleased with the idea. She approached the man, lowered her head, and swept her breath on the man's cold face: "I can't be the master of the Wu family, I have to find a man to suppress the field." You can follow me. ”

He narrowed his eyes and said, "You're not afraid that I will directly take the Wu family and drive you out?" ”

The woman bent her eyebrows, looking like a crescent moon: "I can see that you are seriously injured, and there is nowhere to go." ”

Men don't like this puppet status. Be a puppet of a woman? It's better to kill him directly. But she was right, if he wanted to continue looking for the snake demon, he had to find a place to live.

He craned his neck slightly, and his forehead was just against hers, as if lovers were talking to each other: "Okay, I'll follow you." I'm Chen An. ”

"Su Xiaoxiao." As she spoke, she stretched out her hands and wrapped her arms around his neck. The coiled dragon on the cuffs was delicately embroidered, brushing against his ears.
