Chapter Seventy-Four: The Puppet Show

Yushui passes through the city, dividing the entire Yuzhou city into the south city and the north city.

Lin Yan and Wen Xuan came to a wine shop near Yushui, sat at a table near the window on the second floor, Wen Xuan ordered many local specialties, mostly fish and shrimp and other aquatic products, and ordered new light and delicious vegetarian dishes, and asked for a jar of wine. The little two said: "Guest officer, our wine here is a must in Yuzhou, the most authentic Yushan drunk!"

"Okay," Wen Xuan said with a smile, "If it weren't for the authentic one, I wouldn't have paid." ”

Xiao Er promised: "You just wait for a feast! Yu Shan is drunk, a jar!"

The wine soon came up, Wen Xuan sniffed it, tasted it, the entrance was mellow, the taste was fragrant, and I couldn't help but drink a glass in one sip.

"Wen Xuan. ”

"What's wrong? Do you want to drink it too?"

"Look below. ”

Wen Xuan looked downstairs, several artists were setting up props, and there was going to be a puppet show by the bridge.

"What, Lin Yan, are you going to watch a puppet drama?"

Lin Yan shook his head.

Wen Xuan looked carefully, the puppet artists were gesturing something with their hands, and one was sitting next to him blowing Xiao.

"Lin Yan, can you understand their sign language?"

"I don't understand. ”

"I don't understand either, unlike ordinary sign language, which is supposed to be used by themselves to communicate, and others will not know about it. ”

Wen Xuan continued to watch, and dishes came up one after another, some were spicy and some were not, neither of them moved their chopsticks, staring closely at the puppet artists.

An artist with a child's hat on his head began to beat the gong, and the children gathered around curiously, "Come and see, the puppet show is about to start!"

When the children heard the shouting, they gathered around.

Another entertainer places a string puppet behind an extremely thin cowhide and begins the performance. Although the puppet is lifeless and its joints are stiff, it is extremely flexible in the hands of the artist, as if it were alive.

"That puppet, Lin Yan, that puppet is infused with spiritual power!"

"Yes. ”

"The puppet show is for fun, why inject spiritual power?"

After a while, the expressions of the onlookers on the side of the puppet show were slightly abnormal, Wen Xuan glanced at Lin Yan, and the two of them watched the changes.

It was the artist who struck the gong again: "Wandering the world, it all depends on friends, you have money to make a money, someone has a personal field, a few of us have thanked you!"

The children who watched the play, as well as the parents of the children, took out the money and put it on the artist's gong. One man even put a big silver ingot.

The gong beater put away all the money and property contentedly, and the other artists quickly packed up their things and left in a hurry, only then did he strike another gong, "It's over, thank you for your reward!"

Seeing this, Wen Xuan turned his head to look at Lin Yan, "Ecstasy?"

Lin Yan said: "I'm not sure, keep up." ”

Wen Xuan sighed, "The food hasn't been eaten yet, and there is still wine, and the wine hasn't been drunk yet." ”

"Come back and eat. With that, Lin Yan put the silver taels on the table, and the two of them also hurried out of the wine shop to chase the puppet artist.

The puppet artists have wind under their feet and walk extremely fast.

Wen Xuan and Lin Yan didn't touch the ground, and chased half a pillar of incense for a long time before they caught up with them along Yushui.

Several puppet artists looked at Wen Xuan and Lin Yan vigilantly, and said, "I don't know what the two sons are chasing after us?"

Wen Xuan said: "Why confuse people's minds and rob money?"

The artist who struck the gong said, "Yo, it turned out to be uneven." They are willing to give, we are willing to ask, what does it matter to you, which eye of you sees that we have forced them?"

Wen Xuan walked up to the artist and said, "Which eye? Both eyes have seen it, you confuse their minds, and then give them instructions, what a good means! Let people take the initiative to hand over the money, it is very effortless! It's a pity, you met us today." ”

The puppet artist began to beat the gong again, and Lin Yan said, "Wen Xuan, be careful!"

Wen Xuan's eyes were already empty, and the gong artist said, "Kill him!" pointed at Lin Yan.

Wen Xuan forced Lin Yan step by step. When he was about to get in front of Lin Yan, he secretly winked at Lin Yan.

Lin Yan's expression didn't show any change.

When the gong artist was proud, Wen Xuan jumped up with his back and directly pressed the head of the gong artist with an iron sword. The man couldn't stand the force and fell to his knees.

"Childe spare his life, Childe spare his life!" As soon as the gong artist knelt down, several people behind him also knelt down.

"What should I do?" Wen Xuan asked Lin Yan.

Lin Yan thought for a while and said, "This is the territory of the Zeng clan in Yuzhou, let it be handed over to Sect Master Zeng." ”

"Okay!" Wen Xuan agreed, and was about to immobilize these people, when a young woman kneeling behind him suddenly said, "Childe, save me!"

Wen Xuan was stunned for a moment, and the woman continued: "I was originally from Changzhou, I was kidnapped by that artist, and I was also the daughter of a good family, he threatened his parents' lives, and my parents asked me to follow him. Please help him!" After saying that, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed. The girl's appearance of twelve or thirteen cried pitifully, Wen Xuan's heart softened for a while, and he looked at Lin Yan.

Lin Yan's face was colorless, as if he hadn't seen Wen Xuan's gaze.

"Uh...... This, otherwise, you go with them to the Zeng clan, Zong Master Zeng is a man of faith, if you are really taken hostage, he will let you go. ”

It's just that the woman kept kowtowing and crying, and the pear blossoms brought rain, which was really pitiful. "I, I am willing to be a concubine, serve the son, serve the bed, cook tea and sweep, as long as the son is willing to take me away!"

Lin Xuan's eyes were shocked, and he quickly looked at Lin Yan, Lin Yan still had no color on his face, and he didn't look at Wen Xuan if he hadn't heard it.

At this time, the artist who was pressed under the iron sword spoke with a hideous face: "It turns out that you have fallen in love with this handsome boy, no wonder." He yelled at Wen Xuan again: "Kill, kill me, Changzhou Su will not let you go!"

Wen Xuan sighed, "It's terrible!" Quickly used the immobilization technique to freeze everyone. sent a butterfly letter to Zeng Huaipu again, and sure enough, it was the boundary of Yuzhou, and Zeng Huaipu soon brought people here.

"Thank you for your help, and Huaipu will thank you for the people of Yuzhou!"

Wen Xuan helped Zeng Huaipu, "Sect Master Zeng, let's go back and interrogate them quickly, don't let them do evil again." ”

Wen Xuan unlocked the immobilization technique, Zeng Huaipu gave another salute, and escorted these puppet artists away with the doorman. As she walked, the woman looked back at Wen Xuan, still pitiful, but said to Wen Xuan with a smile, "Childe, remember that my name is Xiaolian." ”

Watching this group leave, Wen Xuan breathed a long sigh of relief and looked back at Lin Yan, who had already turned his head and left.

"Wait for me, Lin Yan. ”

Lin Yan should not.

"Wait for me, I haven't drunk the wine and eaten the food yet. ”

Lin Yan still shouldn't.

"Let's go, eat food and drink!" Wen Xuan said, grabbing Lin Yan's wrist and running without touching his feet.

When Xiao Er saw the two of them come back, he grinned so much that his cheeks were raised, "I said that the two sons will definitely come back." But before he finished speaking, when he saw Lin Yan's face, he was silent and made a gesture of invitation.

The table by the window was full of dishes that had just been ordered. Wen Xuan took another sip of wine and couldn't help but praise: "It's really good wine." Lin Yan, would you like to have a drink too?"

"Don't. Although Lin Yan was expressionless as usual, Wen Xuan intuitively felt that Lin Yan seemed to be a little unhappy.

"Lin Yan, you, what's wrong?"

"Nothing. ”

"Let's eat. ”

Lin Yan didn't respond, picked up the dishes and chopsticks, and ate one bite at a time.
