Chapter 110 I am me, I am not me
"What? No way. "The cicada's first reaction was to refuse.
"Don't you want to know what's going on? Go up, I'll tell you. "Granny Yan is also observing the beams of the house.
The cicada will be suspicious and silent.
"Really, I don't lie to you." Mu Qing coaxed a child, "I think it's quite possible to be on it." β
"What's on it? Who's on it? The cicada breathed and tensed.
"Puppet." Mu Qing raised her head, "The beam of the house is some distance from the ground, it is a good place to hide things, and if you want to put the puppet on it, it is enough for two or three people at most, and it doesn't take too much time." β
When the cicada heard this, she also looked up: "No, I can't see anything." β
"So you're not good at spells." Mu Qing tapped lightly on his shoulder, "Carry the old woman up and let her break the spell, and you will be able to see it." β
Cicada breath was still reluctant, muttering something, in the end, he squatted down, carried Granny Yan up, and jumped onto the beam.
But after a minute or two, Mu Qing felt a slight fluctuation in the air, and then, stains began to appear on the unusually clean ground, and there was also a shadow above her head.
"Wow......" Cicada was stunned.
On the beam under his feet, a row of ropes hung from the necks of puppets, and the other end was tied to the neck of the puppet, and they were hung in the air.
"It's all here." Mu Qing saw Huihui who was stripped naked, the shadow of poisoning, and even the yellow dog that was disemboweled.
"It turned out to be a trick." Cicada suddenly realized, "At least one of the people who came was a warlock. β
"Qin Zikou." Mu Qing was very impressed by the little girl's familiarity with the use of spells.
"She?" Cicada thinks it's impossible, "She doesn't have enough strength." β
"You can get someone to help." Granny Yan didn't think so.
"With her status in the palace, who can she turn to?" Cicada pulled the rope on her tiptoes, "Even if you find someone, when the matter is done, you have to kill it, right?" This is the Praetorian Guard, whether it is missing or dead, it is a terrible thing to have one less person. β
"She can bring people in from outside the palace." Granny Yan motioned for the cicada to take her down.
This time, Cicada didn't say anything more, and honestly carried Granny Yan to the ground.
Subsequently, Granny Yan thought about it and denied her statement: "No, no matter how well she practices the trick, it is too risky to walk around the palace with a big living person." β
"That's right." Cicada nodded vigorously, "She doesn't have any friends, and when she suddenly brings someone in, even a fool can see that something is abnormal." β
"Don't underestimate her, maybe she already has her own person." Mu Qing always felt that Qin Zikou was not simple.
"Why is she?" Cicada raised her eyebrows, "She is a concubine, she was accepted into the palace and called a princess, and her only role is to be able to give it away as a gift one day, no money, no power, and she is still a child, who will follow her?" β
Mu Qing thought about it, and what she said was right.
"Don't guess, anyone can possibly." Cicada sighed, "Now we have to deal with these things first, otherwise someone will come in a while, and they will directly put us in prison, and none of them will be able to escape." β
"I'll have to trouble you about this." Granny Yan prepares to make a stove.
"I don't do it." Cicada breath blurted out without thinking.
"Do you still want to go with us to find the Burning Lantern?" Granny Yan slowly cleaned the hearth, "If I am left in the Xuyang Palace, can you talk to the patriarch of the fox clan?" Can you borrow a lantern? β
Cicada opened her mouth to say something, hesitated for a moment, and swallowed the words back.
"Hurry up, someone will be delivering something soon." Mu Qing added a sentence next to her, found the clothes that she had casually stuffed in a corner before, and went to the backyard to change.
Cicada's breath gritted its teeth, jumped on the beam again, tore the rope, and released a puppet down.
"Wait." The puppet almost fell on Granny Yan.
"What? Can I come down? The cicada grinned, looking like it was about to succeed.
"Pull them all to the beam and put them away." Granny Yan lit a fire, "If it's all burned at once, there will be trouble." β
The smile of the cicada was gone, replaced by a bitter look.
"Hurry up, people are coming." It was Mu Qing's turn to smile.
The cicada couldn't help it, and while complaining, he pulled the remaining puppets up as fast as he could, lined them up end to end on the beams, and stacked them in two layers.
"Okay now, right?" He asked.
Granny Yan glanced up: "Come down, help me dismantle this." β
"Is there anything else to do after the demolition?" The cicada's breath fell silently to the ground.
Granny Yan ignored him and ignited the hay in the hearth.
Cicada didn't care if it could be answered, three times five divided by two, dismantling the puppet into pieces and piling it aside.
Granny Yan first picked the most obvious characteristics and stuffed them into the hearth, and suddenly, the flames rose high, and a foul smell spread.
"Ouch, mother-in-law, what does this smell like?" The delivery man came.
"Today's firewood is not very good." Granny Yan patted the ashes on her hands and asked someone to put the things in the designated place.
Mu Qing saw that the few people who delivered the goods were still followed by the guards, and they were busy pretending to be busy.
Granny Yan intentionally or unintentionally stood in front of the guards: "I am short of manpower here, call a few more people over." β
"Where's the girls?" A guard peered into the kitchen.
"Huihui took the lead in making trouble, refused to work, and let me drive away." Granny Yan had a cold face.
"Yes, you see, we originally wanted to come and find something to eat, but there was no one here, so my mother-in-law was forced to stay." Cicada breath is also helping.
"Go, don't miss the meal." Granny Yan turned around and went to work.
The guard nodded hurriedly and hurried away.
After a while, seven or eight palace maids came, and the kitchen became lively.
"Mother-in-law, can we go?" The cicada took a fruit in her hand and nibbled on it.
"Get out of here, don't get in the way here." Granny Yan is already very busy.
Cicada Xi took Mu Qing's hand and hummed a song back to his room.
After locking the door, Mu Qing let out a long sigh of relief.
The cicada lay on the bed on all fours: "This toss can exhaust me." β
Mu Qing looked at him and thought back to what happened before: "You know that Qin Zikou is coming, and you haven't fallen asleep at all, right?" β
"Asleep." Cicada smiled, "But compared to Ning Shensan, her medicine is like a joke, and I woke up as soon as she came in." β
"Why don't you get up?" This, Mu Qing expected.
"I was afraid that there was someone behind her, and I wanted to wait a little longer, but I didn't expect to wait for a while, so I waited for the puppet." Cicada breath looked at the ceiling.
"So you can't get up in order to find out the puppeteer who is manipulating the puppet." Mu Qing clasped her hands around her chest.
"That's right." The cicada replied as a matter of course.
Mu Qing didn't have anything to ask again, and planned to go back to the room.
Cicada stopped her: "You, you're going to leave me again, and you're going to break the contract." β
"I made a deal with you to save my life." Mu Qing turned around, "And that old woman can not only leave my life, but also help me out, in that case, why should I be with you?" β
"That's right." Cicada Breath was actually not angry, "You are all puppeteers, and you smell the same." β
"I'm not a puppeteer." Mu Qing didn't dislike puppeteers, but for some reason, she always felt that she was different from puppeteers.
Cicada sat up and changed the subject: "Do you remember the purpose of our original visit to the puppeteer?" β
Mu Qing was silentβyes, she remembered.
"What do you think now?" Cicada tilted her head, "Are you Mu Qing or Xia Yuanshan?" β
"I'm not Xia Yuanshan." Mu Qing immediately denied it.
"Really?" Cicada snorted, "I think you two are quite similar - of course, if you think it's good, then I don't care, anyway, I want something in the puppet, and what you will become in the end has nothing to do with me." β
Mu Qing "chuckled" in her heart, and became irritable for no reason.
"I'll tell you the truth, I may not know as much about the burning lamp as the old woman, but I don't know anything about it. As for who is behind the old woman, whether that person will take Qin Huang's life, for me, is not the most important thing. Cicada smiled slightly, "I came back just to ask you a word." β
Mu Qing looked at him, thinking about his thoughts.
Cicada leaned lazily on the head of the bed: "Do you want to keep yourself as you are?" β
"I'm still me, I haven't changed, I just need to get out of the puppet." Mu Qing gave an affirmative answer.
Cicada shrugged: "Okay, since you want to break the contract, and I can't kill you here, then there's no point in staying, I'll go first." β
With that, he got up and walked out the door.
Mu Qing didn't expect him to be like this: "Don't you still want the things in the puppet?" β
"I don't have to follow you, I can get what I want." The cicada said faintly, "Mu Qing, no matter how blue the yellow spring is, I can always find you." β
Mu Qing was stunned, and suddenly hugged the cicada from behind.
Cicada was dumbfounded.
Mu Qing is not stupid, she can't let the cicada go.
At the moment when Cicada Breath turned around, she thought that Granny Yan no longer had a puppet that could be used, and if she wanted to refine another one, even if her cultivation was high, it would take a while, during this time, if Cicada Breath left, they would almost have no ability to fight back and protect themselves, no matter who came again, Mu Qing could only resign herself to fate, so she had to find a way to let Cicada Breath stay, at least until the day she escaped from the palace safely.
"Don't go, that's not me." Her face pressed against the back of the cicada, "Something is trapping me, I don't know what, it's still there, I don't have much time." β
Cicada originally wanted to break free, but when he came into contact with the delicate and smooth skin, his heart softened, and he grabbed Mu Qing's hands instead.
"Help me, cicadas, help me." Mu Qing said softly and quickly, "Xia Yuanshan is dead, I haven't become him, but I'm no longer me." It's not me who wants to leave you, I want to break the contract, you know. "Baidu's latest chapter of "Reborn Puppet is very fragrant and fragrant" is free to read for the first time.
