The next morning, he woke up. After baking overnight, the arms in the oven should be dry. Last night, accompanied by the little girl, Zhi also made a new hand for the puppet, and then put it in the oven. He took out his arms and hands, put them aside to cool down, and when they cooled, he used a tool to cut the joint connection, and then according to the size of the incision, embedded a sphere with a small piece of energy crystal, polished and adjusted, and then wrapped it in even mud. The same is done at the junction of the hand and arm, after which they are returned to the furnace for a second firing.

It's almost noon, and Zijin and Zigui arrive as promised. Zhibang Zigui checked the status again, and after confirming that the contract was fine, Zijin and Zhigui went out to eat, leaving Xiao Liang and Zigui at home. After hurriedly eating, the two of them rushed back home.

When he got home, Zigui hugged the little girl and made flower tea. The two of them sat down in the living room and chatted over tea.

"The little girl was burned by fire yesterday, it really doesn't matter, right?" Zijin asked.

"I checked last night and it's fine. I said that jade clay is inherently fire-resistant and will not be easily damaged. ”

"Well, now that I've found the puppet, I'm going to leave Puppet City tomorrow."

"Leave, so fast! So what are your plans for the future? ”

"Not for the time being, I want to walk around first, although I still have some money, but I can't wait until I sit and eat. Besides, now that I have a son with me, I will never be alone again! ”

"So, can I join you on your journey?"

"Why? You're out of here, and you're not going to be a puppet anymore? ”

"I... I'm afraid I'll never be able to make a puppet again. ”

"How so? Your craft is so good. ”

"When every craftsman makes a puppet, only when he gets the oracle, the puppet he makes can make a contract with the person, but the puppet made simply cannot be used, and there is no value, after I complete the shaping of Zigui, there is no oracle to issue, so I can't make a new puppet now."

"Maybe you're too tired, what if you take a break?"

"Have you heard of the Craftsman's Threshold?"

"No, what's that?"

"It's the point in time when the craftsman oracle disappears, and the general oracles are one after another, if the oracle is broken, it means that the craftsman has encountered a critical point nine times out of ten, and it seems that my critical point has arrived."

"But Chizhu's doll, didn't you make it for her?"

"She's already in bond, I'm just tinkering, it's okay."

"I see! But are you willing to leave here? ”

"There's nothing to be reluctant to, except for my grandmother and little girl, all I have is this house. The craftsmen in the city don't want to associate with me, and I have no friends, so what's the difference between giving up and not giving up. ”

"Don't be sad, you don't have friends, and I don't have either, then I'll be your friend, you go with me! We can go somewhere else and ask people to see if there's a way to restore your oracle, or maybe change the environment and your threshold will disappear! ”

"Would you like to be my friend?"

"Yes, but I have a question... I'm afraid you won't want to be friends with me."

"What a problem, you say."

Zijin hesitated for a long time, and finally made up her mind, she took off her hat, untied the silk cloth, and said, "You see, my hair color is a little strange, it is black, except for Dad and Xiaoyou, no one else likes it." It's okay if you don't want to be friends with me, I just hope you don't hate me and treat me like a monster. Zijin was scared and spoke with a trembling voice.

It turned out to be this, and sighed.

"How can there be such a beautiful monster in the world!" "Your hair color is beautiful!" I love it, I won't hate you, we make friends! Pal! ”

When he heard the sigh, Zijin was desperate and nervous.

"I thought you'd hate me and let me get out." Now she was relieved to hear the answer, but she didn't know why she cried.

"I'm ready to run away with my son, woo, you're the first person who doesn't dislike me, woo..."

Stubborn was a little panicked, how to coax girls, but for the first time, he said, "Don't cry, I don't hate you." Actually, we've met before, and I've known you're black-haired. ”

"When?" Zijin asked with tears in his eyes.

"Do you remember the night half a month ago? You were on a path, your hat fell off, there were children scolding you, I was nearby at the time, and you almost hit me, don't you remember? ”

Zijin recalled that he seemed to have almost bumped into a white-haired person at that time, and it turned out to be obsessive!

"If I hate you, I won't talk to you for a long time, and I won't sell your dolls."

That's right, since I knew myself for a long time, if I hated her, I would have avoided myself a long time ago. Thinking of this, Zijin burst into tears and laughed.

Seeing that Zijin stopped crying, Zhi also laughed.

It turned out that on the night of the first chance encounter, the golden eyes that he couldn't forget for a long time, no, not eyes, but eyes. What I can't forget is the loneliness that Zijin revealed for a long time, and what I can't forget is the loneliness that Zijin endured.

No, that person is not only Zijin, but also himself!

Now, Adam sees a sparkle in those golden eyes!

"I'm going to change the arms of the Chizhu people, and when this is done, let's set off together, how about it?"

"Okay, then I'll prepare some things for the road in the city in the past two days, and my son and I will come to you the day after tomorrow."

"No problem, that's it."

"Then I'll go first."

"Stay safe these two days!"

"Okay." After speaking, Zijin left with Zigui.

Zhi continued to make the puppet's arms, and the little girl also quietly accompanied him.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and it took him a day and a night to refine the hands and arms of the puppet, trimming the muscles on the arms, the hand lines on the palms, and the nails according to the shape of the puppet, and then coloring them, and then putting everything into the oven for final firing.

Tomorrow I will leave the home where I grew up. Insist on cleaning the whole house and covering the furniture. After that, Zhi walked to his grandmother's spirit card and said goodbye to his grandmother: "Grandma, my friends and I are going to go out to see, I can't accompany you for the time being, you wait for me to come back." And Grandma, you have to bless me for recovering the oracle. "Close your eyes and worship.

Back in the studio, he took out his suitcase, packed up his tools, and sealed the last remaining jade clay and put it with his tools, along with some clothes, water bottles, household utensils, and food.

After doing this, it was late at night, and he attached the fired arm to the doll and said to the doll, "You have to connect the energy in your body to your arm tonight, and if it goes well, you can connect it tomorrow morning." ”

"Thank you!"

"Don't thank me, your master gave the money." After speaking, he patted the puppet's shoulder: "After tomorrow, we have a chance to meet again!" ”

"Good!"
