When the figure moved away, Zifei saw a faint little figure in the window.

That's the shadow left by the paper man.

It reminded him of a shadow puppet show he watched as a child. When he was a child, it was too far away for him, as far away as the stars in the sky, and he could only see the glittering light. He almost only remembers the concept when he was a child, but he doesn't remember the experience when he was a child, only the shadow puppet play is still vivid.

Shadow puppetry originated in the Warring States period and flourished in the Han Dynasty. More than 2,000 years ago, the shadow puppet show of the Qin Dynasty was in a transitional period, and there were not many people who played shadow puppet play and watched shadow puppet play. But his younger sister Ziyu has a soft spot for this. She likes to make paper figurines with her own hands, demonstrate the operation herself, and pull him to watch. Whether he wanted it or not, Ziyu performed happily. He still remembered the satisfied smile on her face.

Ziyu hurriedly manipulated the paper figures, while hurriedly changing his voice to imitate the voices of various characters. Her paper figures were cut very realistically at that time. Although the paper figure does not need to be so realistic, because the viewer can only see black shadows, she still cuts it in detail.

Once, she was performing a shadow puppet show for Zifei when Master barged in. Seeing that Ziyu was so busy that a layer of sweat appeared on his forehead, the master reached out and pulled up the wide sleeved robe and gently wiped it on Ziyu's forehead.

Ziyu urged that it could not be spoken. He saw Ziyu's hands trembling. She was so nervous. He felt a sense of loss in his heart.

Master wiped the sweat from Ziyu's forehead, and then smiled, "How tired you are like this!" I'll teach you a trick in a minute, so you can control them without using your hands. ”

Ziyu was excited and asked, "Can you make them move without your hands?" ”

Master nodded and said, "Yes." It's a kind of puppetry. You can control it with your divine sense. "At that time, shadow puppetry was also called puppet play.

Soon after, when he watched Ziyu demonstrate shadow puppetry, he noticed that her hands were no longer busy. The paper figures were still moving when she wasn't fiddling with them, and they were vivid. As a result, she was much more relaxed when she was talking.

Zifei was stunned. But he prefers to see a layer of sweat on Ziyu's beautiful forehead and white neck, as well as the urgency of his speech.

For countless nights after both Master and Ziyu died suddenly, he often dreamed of shadow puppetry, dreaming of Ziyu sweating and talking about plays.

So when he saw the familiar figure and the little paper figure on the window paper, Zifei had the illusion of returning to the Qin Dynasty, to Xianyang, the most prosperous city during the Qin Dynasty, and to the most familiar home. Behind the shadow of the paper man, there should be a junior sister hiding from the fish.

He almost yelled "Ziyu" over there.

But reason made him swallow those two words raw.

Although the paper figure suddenly made his memory churn, he knew that the paper figure in front of him was cut out of Xiaomi∮ although the fish was reincarnated, this still did not change, although Xiaomi herself may not understand why she suddenly cut these paper figures, she could not continue to use them to perform shadow puppetry. Many people's unconscious actions and thoughts are not gratuitous, but cause and effect.

Zifei has seen a lot of this kind of thing, so it is naturally not difficult to understand.

Zifei held his breath and looked at the situation in the house.

After a while, the man opened the door. He stood in the doorway and looked out, then walked out, walked to the window, and reached out to take the paper figure down.

Zifei finally couldn't help it, and he shouted at the man: "Master! ”

The man was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look around, and saw Zifei lying on the wall. The man asked, "Who is your name?" ”

"Master! Don't you remember me? Zifei blurted out his debut.

The man, fearing that the peasant woman who had already fallen asleep, walked to the wall, opened the door of the yard, and asked, "Who are you looking for?" Who is your Master? ”

Zifei came back to his senses, lowered his head and said, "Speaking of which, you won't believe that you were my master many times ago in your previous life. ”

When my grandfather mentioned this incident in front of his grandfather, he said that he really didn't believe Zifei's words at that time.

At that time, my father was on the road to Baoding, and he stayed overnight wherever he went.

That night, he had just fallen asleep and had already turned off the lights, when he heard a violent dog barking outside. He knew in his heart that it should be Xiaomi's paper figure again. On the way back, he encountered this situation several times, hearing a dog barking one night and finding paper figures in the window the next morning.

Later, when he heard the inexplicable barking of the dog, he knew that it was Xiaomi's paper figure that attracted the attention of the dog.

After the head of the household looked at it and found nothing unusual, he turned on the lamp again and went to the window to bring in the paper figure.

He'd taken it a few times before. He was afraid that the paper figure would be wet with night dew, so he simply took it into the house that night. It's the same this time.

But he didn't expect that someone would call him after taking the paper this time, and instead of calling him by his name, he would be called a master. This surprised my father very much. Because he has not yet taken in an apprentice. Until his death, he never took in an apprentice.

"I remember some things from my previous life, but I don't remember you. Are you looking for the wrong person? Grandpa said to Zifei. However, at first glance, he felt a little familiar and a little kind.

Grandpa later said that some people you have never met before feel familiar and cordial when you first meet them, it is likely that that person has intersected with you in life in a previous life, maybe a relative, maybe a friend. There are very few very coincidental things in the world, and everything that seems to be very coincidental has a cause and effect.

That may be his perception after meeting Zifei.

Zifei said: "Can you borrow a step to speak?" ”

Grandpa looked back at the master's room, saw that the light in the room was not on, and looked at Zifei carefully, thinking that he was not a person with bad intentions, plus a sense of déjà vu, so he nodded and said, "Come to my room and talk." Be quiet and don't disturb the host here. ”

Zifei followed his father into the house.

When he followed his father, his heart was a little cooler than when he met Xiaomi. This paper man actually found the master here. In his previous life thousands of years ago, Ziyu learned to use his divine sense to control the puppetry of the paper man, and now, the paper man cut out by Xiaomi, who has no master in this life but has a foundation in his previous life, actually took the initiative to find his master. And it was found without Xiaomi itself knowing. It can be seen that Ziyu's feelings for Master have never changed, and even better than before.

Zifei knew how powerful this unconscious manifestation was.

At this moment, he was convinced. He accepted his fate.

A person who has lived for more than 2,000 years has not accepted his fate for more than 2,000 years, but he accepted his fate in an instant.

After entering the house, Grandpa asked Zifei to sit down, and then said, "I don't think you are a crazy person, you say, why do you say that I am your master." ”

Zifei repeated what he had told Xiaomi to his father. He talked about the master's change of Xu Fu's list for Ziyu, and also told him about his own experience in the East China Sea, and also told him how he came here from Zajia's shop. He knew that the master had feelings for Xiaomi, but he did not hide his feelings for Xiaomi.

After listening to this, Grandpa was silent for a long time.

Grandpa's Alaya consciousness has awakened a large part under Zifei's detailed narration. He could judge that what this Zifei said was true, not deceiving him.

"It's no wonder that my memories of my past life have always been vague, and even if there is occasional stimulation, I can't remember them all. It turned out to be under the influence of the Sealing Curse. Grandpa muttered to himself, "But what's the use of doing that?" I still turned the millet into a parasitic grass. ”

Zifei said: "Master doesn't have to blame himself. You inadvertently turn into a subfish, just as the subfish inadvertently drives a paper figure to look for you. It's out of control. I used to think that it was possible for me to change the subfish, but now it seems completely hopeless. He is still used to calling millet a subfish.

Daddy gently stroked the paper figure.

Zifei said again: "Master, when you named me 'Zifei' and my sister 'Ziyu', you should have wanted to tell me 'Zifei knows the joy of fish', right?" You're trying to make me realize that I don't know Ziyu's mind and can't make her happy, right? ”

Grandpa sighed lightly and said, "Zifei knows the joy of fish? The joy of knowing the fish, knowing the pain of the fish? ”

The corners of Zifei's mouth twitched suddenly, and tears welled up in his eyes.

Grandpa wiped away the tears on Zifei's face and said in the teacher's tone: "Child, whether it is joy or pain, as long as you follow your heart and pursue it, there is nothing wrong with it." ”

Zifei nodded, but tears welled up more.

Grandpa remembered that Zifei mentioned the "third person" when he said that he was sitting in Jia, so he said: "I know who the third person you guessed was." Not long ago, he took out a lot of paper figures in front of me and said that he already knew about Xiaomi's movements. I think Jia should be doing business with him. So, my father told me what he had encountered in Fushun.

"Could Ze Sheng be the reincarnation of Xu Fu? If he was reincarnated, shouldn't he be Japanese? Zifei asked.

"The Japanese kept coming to Chang'an during the Tang Dynasty, and Chang'an was Xianyang. I think maybe Xu Fu's reincarnation has already returned here from there. Daddy said.

"This time he suffered a setback, he won't hide in Japan again, right?" Zifei couldn't help but think.

This sentence is really said by Zifei. A few years later, my grandfather learned that Zesheng had left the Central Plains Continent after the setback in Fushun and went to Japan via the Bohai Sea to recuperate in Japan.

That night, Grandpa and Zifei talked all night, from 2,000 years ago to today. Speaking of the rooster crowing three times, Grandpa and Zifei were really sleepy, so they barely squinted for a while.

They had not slept long before dawn.

The owner of the house got up early and knocked on the door to tell Daddy to get up and have breakfast with them.
