Chapter 10: The Puppet

The reason why Lin Xiaoyou couldn't wait to go up actually stemmed from a doubt in his heart.

Doubts with fear!

Although the shadow was in the middle of the waterfall and was hidden by the spring, the distance was not close, and it was impossible to see between the swaying firelight, but there seemed to be a guess in my heart, whether it would be ...... It's the one!

She had to go and see.

But if you want to go to the waterfall cliff, it is not easy, during the day, Lin Xiaoyou deliberately asked Ah Youduo about the autumn, so she knew that the waterfall was the first time to catch the autumn, and at the same time, Su Yan and Zhu Jingcheng also knew.

There are two ways to get to the cliff.

One is from the back of the mountain, that is, the back, which is not feasible nowadays, because it is too far and dangerous, and the other is - at the edge of the waterhole below the waterfall, there is a narrow passage that winds its way up to the Wankou Spring or to the top of the cliff.

Those lit fires should have been prepared by the villagers early in the morning and went down this road.

After groping for a while, he finally found the entrance to the cave along the wet rocky bank, Lin Xiaoyou breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, it didn't take long." "In the past criminal investigation experience, if a person has been missing for a longer time, the greater the danger, and generally disappears for 24 hours without reason, and he is basically dead.

Zhu Jingcheng, are you okay?

As she entered the swarthy hole, she took one last look up at the shadow.

Su Yan followed closely behind her and whispered behind her, "Maybe not, don't put too much pressure." ”

"Thank you." Lin Xiaoyou didn't care if he could see it, smiled at him, and then groped the cave wall, walked up, the steps under his feet were artificially built, and it could feel very smooth, it seems that Guanyin Island is not as disgusted with handicrafts as they say, at least not before, so when did it start?

Lin Xiaoyou remembered the words of the white-bearded old man, after the death of the fifth wife of Master Zhailiu......

Could it have something to do with it?

"Ouch!" Maybe she shouldn't be distracted when she walks, Lin Xiaoyou tripped over something under her feet, but fortunately, Su Yan supported her in the back, otherwise she would definitely fall.

At this time, the distance has already passed halfway, and if you fall, I am afraid that the injury will not be light.

After standing firm, pushing away Su Yan's hand, Lin Xiaoyou said, "I don't care. Then she continued to go up, and at this time her heart was full of the shadow, the shadow hanging upside down, the shadow of the shadow.

In a short period of time, she had several inferences, the worst one was Zhu Jingcheng, the better one, someone else, someone she didn't know? But as long as someone dies, it's not a good thing.

What to do?

Lin Xiaoyou bit her lip, she didn't dare to say to Su Yan, this scene was so similar to the first scene she saw when she walked through this book - the upside-down corpse, bright red blood dripping, fear, pervasive.

There must be something to do with it.

At this time, Su Yan was behind her, staring at her back stunned, her feet did not stop, but there was a sour feeling in her heart, she was wary of herself because of that incident after all, why did she do that at that time? Forcing others to do things they don't want to do, is it true that people will lose their nature in times of crisis, or will they simply expose their nature?

Of course, Lin Xiaoyou didn't know that the beast in her heart was secretly hurting herself and condemning herself, she saw the light.

According to the height, this should be the Wankou Spring, and the upside-down shadow hangs behind the waterfall, and the truth can be seen in just a few steps.

Is it a corpse, is it Zhu Jingcheng?

Isn't it with that Act I...... The same.

Lin Xiaoyou covered her chest, only to feel that her heart was about to jump out, and her breath became short.

Seeing that she was still moving, Su Yan thought she was scared, and said softly, "I'll come." ”

"No!" Just as Su Yan was about to step out of the cave, Lin Xiaoyou grabbed him and dragged him into the darkness. There was a stone wall more than one person wide in the cave, just enough to hide, and the two of them huddled together, panting.

"What's ......" Su Yan was about to speak, but suddenly realized that something was wrong, light!

There was no light just now, and the reason why the upside-down shadow could be seen clearly was because of the starlight and the fire at the top of the cliff, so why did there be light in the bowl spring!?

"Someone!" Lin Xiaoyou got closer, attached his ear and said that this was the only possibility, it was too tight, Su Yan was a big man, and he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. "Well, I'll take a look."

Instead of being found out by this woman and stabbing to death with a knife or becoming a eunuch, it is better to go out and have a look.

Looking at Su Yan, who was moving awkwardly, Lin Xiaoyou wondered: "This thing is quite heroic this time!" But she quickly followed, because no matter whether there was someone or not, she had to check, if it was Zhu Jingcheng, what if she could find some clues related to wearing books?

The scene of hanging the body upside down in the first scene left too deep an impression on her.

"This is ......" walked out of the hole, and sure enough, there were people.

"Alas, why are you here too?" A certain aristocratic son was leaning against a Miao girl, the two were standing side by side, and they were working together to hang a puppet doll to a height, probably from the observation angle and height, and two lanterns were lit on the side, emitting a shining light.

The light I just saw, this is it.

And that puppet is the shadow they saw hanging upside down!

Lin Xiaoyou took a deep breath and looked at Zhu Jingcheng: "I want to explain." ”

In the middle of the night, the third watch ran out, and they were frightened and thought he was hanging, but he was talking to a beautiful woman here, and he wanted to die.

She turned her head to look at the Miao girl, through the light, it can be seen that the girl has fair skin, can be broken by blowing, and her eyes are pure like a spring in early spring, she is a rare beauty, she saw Lin Xiaoyou angry, and hurriedly said: "It was Zhu Gongzi who helped me to set up the stage, don't blame him." ”

It turns out that tomorrow is the biggest festival on Guanyin Island, and this girl named Azhu is the granddaughter of Grandpa Abu, the oldest craftsman on Guanyin Island. "Originally, Grandpa Abu personally came to set up this puppet, but Grandpa was sick, so I had to come."

Zhu Jingcheng also explained the "disappearance" process to Su Yan.

It turned out that when he was about to walk down the last step of the stairs, he saw Azhu pushing a puppet not far away, he was puzzled and followed him, and finally found that she came to Wankouquan and didn't know what to do, and it was only after a misunderstanding that Azhu came to arrange the scene in order to catch the autumn, so he stayed to help.

Because he was afraid of being discovered by Azhu, he walked without leaving a trace, but Lin Xiaoyou thought he was missing.

"I'm so helpful!" Zhu Jingcheng looked at Azhu. "Really, Azhu?"

"Hmm." Ah Zhu laughed, his eyes were like a crooked crescent moon, very pleasing, Zhu Jingcheng couldn't help but be stunned, and said. "Azhu, I feel very close to you since I saw you, are you willing to go back with me, I begged my father to make you ......"

"You, next time you dare to act without permission, we won't bother looking for you anymore." I'm afraid that he will say some shocking things again, it is already bizarre that he was going to marry someone else's concubine, but he actually saw one and wanted to marry another...... worthy of being a prince, Su Yan hurriedly interrupted his proposal.

Lin Xiaoyou also held his forehead: "Ah Zhu, I'm sorry, my brother, I've offended a lot." ”

Ah Zhu smiled: "Zhu Gongzi is very good...... "After speaking, look at the way of heaven." "Oh, it's getting late, I have to go back, Grandpa Abu should be worried."

Lin Xiaoyou originally wanted to ask about this puppet, but it was terrible to ask a lot of mistakes, which aroused the suspicion of the islanders, so it would be worth the loss, so he said: "It's okay, I can see you at the autumn conference tomorrow, right?" "It's never too late to ask tomorrow.

"Of course." Azhu smiled like a flower.
