Chapter 2: Encounters (2)
Since he was a child, he has been wandering around with his father and Xiaoyou, and Xiaoyou is his father's puppet. Zijin hasn't seen her mother since she was a child, except for her father, Xiaoyou is the one who accompanies her the most.
When Zijin was 5 years old, her father left her because of illness, and then she was left with Xiaoyou to rely on each other. Because Xiaoyou makes a female voice, in the process of growing up, Zijin regards Xiaoyou as a mother-like existence over time.
Zijin relies on Xiaoyou a lot, but he doesn't know if Xiaoyou has human emotions. She remembered that before her father died, the last order he gave to Xiaoyou was to take care of himself. Year after year, day after day, Xiao You obeyed orders, but it didn't feel like they were all orders.
Xiao You taught her how to use spells, Xiao You took care of her physical health, Xiao You was responsible for her diet and daily life, and even prepared energy crystals and a large amount of moon coins for her Xiao You to buy a new doll, Xiao You would reprimand her when she was naughty, Xiao You would comfort her when she was sad, Xiao You would get up every morning to comb her hair, and she would also accompany her to sleep every night, Xiao You did all the things that a mother could do for her.
"My little master, you must find your own puppet to protect you and take care of you, so that my task can be completed." This is a sentence that Xiaoyou often says to himself, even without his father and mother, Zijin feels that he is still happy.
Two years ago, Xiaoyou's body collapsed in front of Zijin, and Zijin cried in the dark for three days. "Little master, be sure to find your puppet." This is the last sentence that Xiao You left for herself, Zijin made up her mind that for Xiao You, she must do it. After that, Zijin began his journey to find the puppet.
In the past two years, Zijin cut his long hair short, changed his clothes into men's pants, and stumbled all the way to get to the puppet city, and found a remote, cheap and safe place to live.
You can stay in this city for three days, and if you haven't found your own puppet in these three days, then you have to leave here and look elsewhere, Zijin thought.
She walked to the main street, there were too many people, especially the place where the dolls were placed on both sides, and she was surrounded by people.
"The guests in the back line up and try them one by one!"
"It's not good, it's not good, let's change it."
"Oh, it doesn't have anything to do with you, you can go and choose somewhere else."
"This is very exquisite, this face is really three-dimensional."
"Since there is fate, you can have a ceremony of recognizing the lord with 2000 monthly coins, how about it?"
"Thank you for the compliment."
All kinds of sounds came to Zijin's ears.
Zijin frowned, she had always disliked crowds, but after thinking about it, she straightened the silk cloth that was tying her hair, tightened her hat, and slowly got into the crowd of spectators.
With his small size, Zijin finally squeezed into the front row and watched each of the dolls carefully. After a long time, she still didn't see her favorite, and wanted to try the doll she loved, and after looking at the time, it was already noon, and she was a little hungry, so she had better go eat something first.
