Chapter 73: Distant Memories
Ella crossed her chin with her fingers crossed, her gaze as if she had traveled through time and space, muttering a story.
Mary Shaw, once the daughter of a wealthy man, she has lived a worry-free life since she was a child, and likes to collect all kinds of cute dolls, but later she really can't buy newer dolls.
Once, a circus performance came from out of town, and her rich father took her to see it in a hurry. The circus show was fantastic, but Mary Shaw preferred one of the puppet shows called the Ventriloquists. The show is very simple, there is a clown holding a wooden puppet in his right hand and constantly talking to each other and telling some hilarious jokes.
Fascinated by the delicate appearance of the puppet and the ability to move like a human eye, Mary Shaw's father brought the clown ventriloquist home at a great expense to teach Mary Shaw how to make her favorite puppet and ventriloquism. Mary Shaw has a strong love for dolls and learns very quickly......
The ventriloquist had a son, handsome and cheerful, and he was in charge of all kinds of behind-the-scenes preparations as the ventriloquist's deputy.
The young Mary Shaw's girlish heart was immediately captured by the young man, and the young man and woman soon fell into the river of love, fascinated by each other, and the parents of both parties were very open-minded, thinking that as long as they truly loved each other......
Tragedy is often called tragedy when beautiful things are torn apart and heart-wrenching and sad.
Turbulent times.
The flames of war, which should have burned on the distant front, were ignited by the infiltration of a small group of enemies, who blew up her home with gunpowder, robbed it of its belongings, and killed her family. The ventriloquist and the rich man died in the chaos, and Mary Shaw, the ventriloquist's son, was mortally wounded in his back, fleeing the flame-enveloped ruins......
Come to the small town of Revansfer.
Their loved ones have died, and they use what little money they have to buy a place to live in the small town of Revansfer. Both of them would make dolls and simply make ventriloquist puppet performances to make money, and in this boring and unfun era, their performances were loved by everyone, and the performance venues gradually became bigger and bigger......
The young man had a wish, he wanted to make the most realistic perfect doll.
Become the world's greatest puppet ventriloquist.
The fighting on the front lines is burning harder, and more people are needed to support, and young people are among those selected to do so.
On the eve of leaving, the man and woman, who had been tricked by fate, hugged each other tightly in the pine forest behind the town.
Tears soaked each other's faces......
The young man placed a small doll in the palm of Mary Shaw's hand.
He said, please don't worry Mary Shaw, the doll she made herself is perfect enough one day, and he will come back then.
The young man just wants to give Mary Shaw some emotional sustenance, and will not be dragged down by longing.
He didn't expect it.
Mary Shaw didn't expect it either.
How strong will this sentence be......
The young man departed with the long procession and disappeared into the dim distance, and Mary Shaw soaked the puppet in her hand with tears.
The flames of war are burning in the distance.
Mary Shaw is also working the show.
Her talent has made her more and more delicate and beautiful dolls, and with ventriloquism, it is like coming to life.
One day, when the young people who had left the town returned, Mary Shaw stood in the crowd with her proudest puppet in her hand and watched as groups of people got off the cart. Her eyes were fixed on the faces of these people, lest she miss the faces of the youth......
Until the last man stepped out of the car, she didn't see her longing face.
It's yourself who made a mistake!
He hasn't come yet, in the next car!
Mary Shaw ran through the crowd with tears in her arms, rushing to the front of the station with the doll in her arms and desperately looking towards the end of the road.
There are only cars leaving, no cars coming back.
Her strength seemed to be drained, and she collapsed to the ground, biting her lip, tears dripping down the puppet's face again.
I see......
The puppet was not perfect, so he didn't come back.
Mary Shaw has since become reticent and spends her days with dolls, and the trash bin in front of her house is often full of broken doll parts. Only when people sit in the audience can they see Mary Shaw smiling and witty as she walks onto the stage.
As the years passed, Maryshaw's blonde hair turned white, her cheeks were covered with wrinkles, and the lovely girl gradually turned into a thin old woman over the years. She is constantly making and destroying dolls, and there are very few dolls that can be slightly satisfied.
One day, Mary Shaw took the stage with a small puppet of Billy in a suit that she was quite satisfied with.
Not long after the performance began, a little chubby boy sat in the audience and said to the person next to him: "The doll is fake, I see her lips moving!" It's her talking, not the puppet! His words pierced Mary Shaw's heart like a sharp knife!
She was angry at that moment, and her efforts were denied by a child!
As long as it is denied, it is not a perfect doll, and she cannot accept denial!
Darkness grew in her heart, and Mary Shaw's eyes overflowed with cold light, smiling and holding the suit doll Billy, and staring at the little chubby boy with four eyes at the same time and saying, "Who do you say is a fake?" Oh, dear Billy, this kid says you're a fake. The suit puppet's eyes glared violently, and he let out a strange cry: "I'm real, more real than anyone else, in my opinion, he ...... It's a puppet. ”
The cold lines flashed, and the audience was quickly diluted by Mary Shaw's next joke, only the little chubby boy sat in the audience in a daze, he always felt that the puppet in Mary Shaw's arms always looked at him intentionally or unintentionally, and the shirt on his body was soaked in cold sweat.
A few weeks later, the little boy who had exposed Mary Shaw to his face disappeared.
The little boy's family immediately suspected that Mary Shaw had hired a large number of townsfolk to her home in the dark of night, and when they couldn't find the little boy, they forced Mary Shaw to scream, brutally pull out her tongue, and then kill!
They forged a suicide note from Mary Shaw, saying that she had committed suicide and that the body be made into a human and buried with all her dolls by accident......
At this point, the story comes to an abrupt end.
The complex emotions in her eyes, sadness and resentment were intertwined, and Xiao Zhi's scalp and back bones were cold!
Ella looked at the silent Xiao Zhi, and suddenly laughed, and said in a somewhat illusory voice: "Don't you want to ask, did Mary Shaw capture the little boy who embarrassed her?" ”
This is a proposition, Xiao Zhi lowered his head and smiled.
The corner of the eye swept the iron gate of the back garden, when was it locked?
