Chapter 20: The Puppet City Ten Years Ago
Yun Hai looked at the dark room that was ventilated on all sides, and couldn't help but feel excited in his heart.
The events of ten years ago are still a nightmare in her heart, like a shadow, every grass and tree, every flower and tree here is an indelible damage that has been indelible.
Zhou Ji is worthy of being the most powerful subordinate by her side, but in just a moment, she has already brought a somewhat drowsy cloud over.
Yun Lian opened his eyes, glared at her with some anger and said, "Yun Qian, you keep saying that you will fight against me tomorrow, but why did you bring me tonight?" ”
Yun Hai looked at him a little impatiently, and suddenly laughed.
He didn't know what the woman in front of him was going to do, and he had some doubts in his heart, but he couldn't show it on his face, so he had to look at everything in this dark room without saying a word.
"Yes, in your eyes, I'm just idle and bored to let people bring you over, but you don't know what kind of days you've lived these years, life is better than death, I've been haunted by the things of the year, I don't know if you can sleep peacefully all these years?"
She said everything in her heart in one breath, maybe it was to vent, and she directly beat the person in front of her with a backhand.
Yun Lian looked at her, "How is it impossible for me to sleep peacefully?" It's that you put too much emphasis on the past. ”
She didn't talk nonsense, and said straight to the point: "Tell me, why did this place become a puppet city ten years ago?" Why have all of them become marionette-like puppets? Zhou's mother, grandpa, and the blacksmith Li who left ten years ago, why did he leave here? Why do you have to go to the outside world? ”
All of this is unpredictable, and she only knows a little about what happened back then, but she only remembers that in a large fire, all the people disappeared, and her father, mother, and sister all became stars in the sky and corpses on the ground in that fire......
Yun Lian knew that she had carried too much over the years, but why shouldn't she?
He looked at the young girl in front of him, who had already been covered with vicissitudes, and felt more and more guilty in his heart, "Offshore, I know that you have always been unhappy for your sister and family, and I also know that you have always carried the lives of the whole city, but all this is still in the past after all, and it is impossible to look back on the past." ”
"Do you think I'm going to really believe what you say? Am I really going to not pursue it at all? Don't be stupid, it's a living human life, I'm just pursuing a truth, asking for forgiveness from the dead. ”
Her heartfelt words didn't do much use, but the tears were already pouring out.
Zhou Ji really couldn't stand it, so he had to take the place of his master, and said with some anger: "Yunlian Gongzi, I watched my mother become a puppet, not to mention the lives of the master's entire family, as well as the lives of the whole city are in the hands of the master, why can't you bear not to tell her the truth?" ”
Yun Lian may have been moved, his mind was turbulent, and he looked at the person in front of him: "Yun Lian, then I'll tell you, but don't be impulsive, I'll think about it first." ”
In this way, Yunlian told the events of ten years ago.
Ten years ago, it wasn't a puppet city, and it wasn't what it is today.
Ten years ago, this was the most prosperous metropolis out of the city, the city lord Yun Chen was the father of Yun Hai and her sister Yun Shan, the family lived happily here, and the folk customs here were simple, if anyone passing by here, there was no one who was not attracted.
At that time, Yun Lian was still the son of Yun Hai's uncle and her cousin.
At that time, they were just teenagers, and they didn't know anything at all, except that the fireworks were beautiful and the streets were lively that day, but the fire was also so big that it drowned their memories and rewrote their lives......
It was a night of fireworks, the whole city was watching the fireworks under the stone bridge, and many jugglers performed acrobatics here, and some ventriloquists performed ......
It was on that day that Yun Lian greeted the first man who walked in from the outside, and in his eyes back then, it was a very mature, very handsome and steady man, with a dignified appearance and extraordinary conversation.
For the first time, he felt that a young man could be so steady, a man who was even more reassuring than his father.
It was the first time he had sneaked out of the mist-shrouded barrier, and he saw a handsome man lying on his stomach in the forest outside, and she walked over unconsciously, unaware of the approaching danger.
The young man looked at him and said with some amusement, "Little friend, how did you get out of this woods?" Could it be that there is still a hole in this forest? ”
He only cared about the handsome appearance of the man, and he didn't pay attention to what the person said, so he didn't know how to answer for a while, and there was silence and embarrassment between the two of them.
After a long while, the man saw that he was a very naughty child, so he had to hand him the slingshot he was carrying, "Little thing, you have to remember, this is the slingshot I gave you, don't lose it!" ”
He took it and carefully observed this slingshot with extraordinary textures, although he had never been in contact with the outside world, but he knew that the origin of this thing must be extraordinary, so the expression on his face was a little solemn.
The solemn appearance of a small child surprised the man for a moment.
"I'm not a little thing, my name is Yunlian, what's your name?" The little cloud even spoke with a glutinous voice, and there was no deterrent power at all.
The man looked at him with some surprise: "My name is White Noodles, and I will be your friend from now on." ”
He had never heard such a funny name, and he actually laughed out loud, "White noodles, haha, white noodles!" ”
As he spoke, he pointed to the man in front of him and smiled, and the tears of laughter came out.
However, the man was not surprised at all, as if he had already expected him to have such a reaction, and couldn't help but say, "What's so funny about this? Because my parents like to eat noodles, and then my family's surname is Shiraku, that's why I call Hakuramen. ”
After listening to such an explanation, his smile became more and more unable to hide, but he didn't expect that there was such a meaning behind the name.
The man saw that his laughter was getting louder and louder, and he couldn't help but become serious, "If you think my name is really unspeakable, you can call me Bai Gongzi directly when you see others in the future." ”
He nodded reluctantly, but the smile still reached the bottom of his eyes, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows did not mean to contain it at all.
"Xiao Yunlian, then tell my brother, why did you come out of this forest?"
Yun Lian felt that the man in front of him did not look like a bad person, so he had to tell him about his departure from the city and out of the enchantment.
Bai Noodles looked at the kid's lack of vigilance, his eyes instantly lit up, and then he slapped his head and said directly: "Xiao Yunlian, can you take my brother to the place where you live?" We're all good friends now, aren't you going to introduce me to your family? ”
Yun Lian looked at what he said, so he had to nod, and not long after he came out, he came back directly with white noodles.
Zhou's mother has always been the most well-informed woman who left the city, so when she heard that Yunlian had brought people back, she came to the city gate in a hurry.
She looked at the handsome and dashing Bai Gongzi, and then looked at Xiao Yunlian next to Bai Gongzi, and felt that the man in front of her was simply better looking than anyone she had ever seen.
Yun Lian didn't notice her eyes, just waved his hand and said, "Aunt Zhou, this is Bai Gongzi, my new good friend today, I will take him back to meet my parents, as well as my sister and sister." ”
As soon as he finished saying this, he returned directly to Narumiya with white noodles.
However, Zhou's mother's reaction at the beginning was just to not attract the attention of others, after all, she was not the person who left the city, but came here by chance from a town in Yuecheng from outside, she knew that the people outside had been tracking her all along, and even if she came here, she was still terrified all day long.
On the way, Yun Lian happened to see his cousin Yun Shan and his cousin Yun Hai, but he didn't say anything, he just felt that his new friend was very happy and peculiar.
Speaking of which, the white noodle boy is not a good person at all, he is from the outside world, and it seems that he has been tracking down someone, but he didn't expect to come to the vicinity of the cloud and mist barrier in the city by mistake.
Ever since he came to the city, he has carefully observed the structure and characteristics of the whole city, and he has taken great note of it.
Yun Lian looked at him looking around, and couldn't help but be happy, "Big brother, if you like here, don't leave, we have very good people here, and my family will definitely welcome you very much." ”
White Noodles looked at him so seriously, and his eyes seemed to have starlight in them, so innocent and beautiful, but all this had to be destroyed by himself after all.
He nodded, but suddenly couldn't say a word, so he smiled a little awkwardly.
He felt that his whole body was full of guilt, and if such a beautiful child was really destroyed in his own hands, he believed that he would be very guilty of himself.
Yun Lian took him to see all his family, and everyone welcomed this foreign friend very happily, and didn't care about Yun Lian walking out of the enchantment without permission.
On this day, it was not too late, everyone was throwing a welcome banquet for this new friend, the whole city was bursting with fireworks, and everyone was cheering, jumping, and with crazy beauty, as if they were going to use up all the enthusiasm......
White Noodles looked at Yun Lian and asked him to play with his cousin and cousin first, while he quietly went to find Zhou's mother, and then deliberately designed the thing of lighting fireworks by mistake, and suddenly the flames burst into the sky, all the fireworks bloomed, and the whole city looked more lively and bright than during the day.
Yunlian was just a little child after all, he relented, even if he knew that he couldn't do this, he still protected Yunlian after all.
But how would Yunlian know that the person who destroyed his home was the friend he had just made, the white noodle boy with this interesting name.
In the midst of the vast firelight, he took advantage of the chaos to cast a Western Realm spell, instantly turning all the people into marionettes, except for the surviving Yun Lian, Yun Hai, and those who had long been killed in the firelight.
In a panic, Yun Shan returned to the palace, looking at the corpses of her parents gradually cooling down, she stumbled and hugged her mother, then closed her eyes, let the fire burn on her body, let it happen by her side, but she couldn't do anything.
Yun Lian saw Bai Noodle's calm appearance, he still noticed it after all, and looked at the man in front of him who was as calm as before, he asked him, "Bai Gongzi, I call you a big brother, but why do you want to do all this?" If you lied to me in the first place, then why did you keep me alive? ”
White Noodles knew that he had deeply broken the child's heart, but why would he be willing? After all, there is still nothing to be done!
"Then I'll take you away, I'll take you out of here, I'll take you to the outside world, okay?" He spoke almost pleadingly to the child in front of him, even though he knew that he could no longer ask for forgiveness.
Yun Lian looked at him in shock, tears filled his eyes, and he lay on the ground and said sorry to the corpses and the puppeteers, he didn't know what else he could do......
White Noodles looked at him, and couldn't bear it for a while, so he had to knock him unconscious, and walked out of the city along the previous enchantment and came to the outside world.
Yun Lian never knew that his fate would be hurt so deeply by the friend he met for the first time, and he would change so completely that he would become a sinner in the entire city.
Ever since the white boy took him out, he had lived with that man, and for a while he lost his memory, and his mind was in turmoil, only remembering that he had made an older young friend, which was White Noodles.
White Noodles looked at Xiao Yunlian, who had lost his memory, and there was still some baby fat on his face, but his eyebrows and eyes were a little sharp, and he was beginning to show his edge.
"What's my name? Why are you only with me, big brother? My family, where have they gone? "Since Xiao Yunlian lost his memory, there are many problems.
He felt that it was the worst memory between the two of them, so he had to skip it, and just smiled and said: "Remember, your name is Yunlian, you are my cousin of White Noodles, your parents died when you were a child, and you live with me. ”
Yun Lian didn't doubt much about this, but he followed him to practice martial arts to strengthen his body, and his martial arts gradually made a lot of progress, and he also saw a lot of novel things outside, and he felt more and more wonderful about the outside world.
Ten years passed like this, and in the ninth year, he regained his memory, but after all, he had no way to face White Noodles, let alone everyone in the Puppet City, especially his cousin Yun Offshore.
Since then, except for Zhou Ji and Yun Offshore, who escaped by luck, there has been no living person in the city.
And Yun Qian finally took on the fate of the entire city, and it became a puppet city, and the Ming Palace has no life since then.
He said these things very painfully, and Yun Qian knew that he had carried so much in his heart, and it was not less than himself at all, but fortunately, he had lost his memories for so many years, and he must not have so much guilt in his life.
She looked at him, "Brother, have you taken revenge?" That white noodle boy is so hateful, we must find a way to punish him! ”
Hearing this, Yun Lian shook his head, "Have you ever wondered why you control these puppets? This is all a ploy set up by the white noodle boy. ”
Yun Hai had never thought about this problem, but after he reminded him of this, he had some awareness.
"Brother, you have been with the enemy for so many years, do you know why?"
Yun Lian nodded and said solemnly: "Yes, I have lived beside the enemy for ten years, and when I regained my memory in the ninth year, I overheard his conversation with a man in black outside his study, which was about the year we left the city. ”
"What?"
"He said that he was asked to do so, but he was still sorry for us after all, so he quietly passed the control of those puppets in the puppet city to you in your sleep, all to make up for his sins, but I can't accept it, it's too cruel."
Yun Hai didn't expect things to be like this at all, she felt that she had lived like a joke for so many years, it turned out that the enemy who was hiding in the shadows had already quietly laid a secret pile, and she was just a small person who made up for the sins of others.
However, it has been ten years since things happened, even if it is a return to the past, what can it make up for?
She walked out of the dark room laughing, hating herself at the same time, she also hated the fate of leaving the city, and her brother Yunlian......
