I nodded, and briefly told him about our experience, considering that there might be a connection, along with the "puppet" I saw in Dongyan Town, and explained to him what I was going to do, and finally asked him to wait, went back to the room, took out the paper puppet left earlier from his backpack and handed it to him, and said: "This is the paper puppet we saw at that time, I heard that the Situ family is an expert in using puppets, so we plan to come here to ask for advice, hoping to find out the origin of this paper puppet and find the person behind the trouble." ”

The paper puppet was pinched in his hand, and before he could examine it carefully, two giggles suddenly came out of the paper puppet's mouth, and in an instant, its neck twisted, its mouth opened widely, and two sharp thorns the length of fingernails shot out of its mouth in an instant.

Situ Yao reacted quickly, let go the moment the paper puppet's neck twisted over, and at the same time, as if there were several ropes hanging on his five fingers, he grabbed it in the air, threw the paper puppet out, smashed open the door on the side of him, broke his head on the door panel, and half of his head collapsed.

The two sharp thorns were nailed diagonally to the floor beneath his feet, and the force was so heavy that they were completely pierced, and only two pointed tips that shone faintly in the sunlight could still be seen.

The paper puppet didn't move, Situ Yao raised his hand and pulled it back in the air, and the seriously damaged puppet slowly returned to him as if it was being put upside down, hanging in the air without any support, motionless.

I looked at it, and saw that Situ Yao was still holding a sword in one hand, touching the center of his eyebrows with the fingers of his free left hand, and then dotted on the paper puppet, drawing a few strokes, and then poking the paper puppet's chest, I almost immediately smelled an obvious bloody breath, but I didn't see blood flowing out of the thing.

Situ Yao put away the paper puppet and said to me: "I will accept the things first, and I will give them to the eldest brother later, and ask him to check them and give you an exact answer as the head of the Situ family." ”

The words were transparent, and he knew that we were suspicious of the Situ family, but this attitude of not concealing or evading gave me a sense of trustworthiness subconsciously, and said to him: "Then I will thank you in advance." ”

"There's nothing to thank for, prove your innocence, this is what our Situ family should do."

Situ Yao said, pulling the door that was knocked open by the paper puppet and shutting it shut, reminding me: "You better go back to the room early, when there is no one around, you had better not go anywhere, especially not near the outer edge of Puxian." Dong Chuan is in a very dangerous situation now, and if something happens, we may not be able to help you a second time. ”

I answered, Situ Yao paused before leaving, glanced at the spikes on the ground, and said to me: "I'll let someone clean it up later, you don't know how to uncontrol, be careful not to touch it." ”

"I know, I'll tell them." I nodded, Situ Yao didn't say anything more, turned to leave, went to the place at the top of the stairs, and turned sideways directly.

I leaned over the railing to see him appear in the courtyard, walked into the open hall in the middle of the first floor, turned around, and crouched down to look at the two sharp thorns. At this time, there were only two inconspicuous pointed ends on the wooden board, and I couldn't see the material, nor could I see any other doorways in it, so I had to return to Jiang Xun's room with doubts.

His state was much calmer, his left hand was still clutching the dress, but his demeanor had relaxed and returned to his previous appearance.

I looked at his missing arm, and I couldn't calm down with mixed feelings, and after thinking for a while, I secretly made a decision, got up and called Tang Jiao, and then went to call Zi Weishi, and knocked on the door for a long time before he opened it. After a night's work, the person was inexplicably haggard a lot, and when he opened the door, he had just washed his face, and the water droplets were not dried, but he only wiped them casually, wetting the cuffs.

I saw that something was wrong with him, and I glanced into the room, but he blocked him with his body and asked me in a hoarse voice, "Master, is there something wrong?" ”

I was silent for a moment, and about five or six paces behind him saw a patch of bird feathers.

I told them about the two spikes in the hallway, told them to be careful, and then told them all to go to Jiang's room, close the door, think about it, and say to them, "I need your help." ”

"This ...... What's happening again? Tang Jiao was dazed and frightened, and said, "Xun'er hasn't woken up yet, so we can't act rashly." ”

I nodded and said, "I'm looking for you just for him, Jiang Xun's broken arm, I want to get it back." ”

"Huh?" Tang Ka was surprised.

Ziwei looked at the direction of the bed, his expression was stunned, his tone was cold, and he said: "We are not familiar with the terrain of Dongchuan, we don't even know where we are, not to mention how dangerous it is to go back, we have all seen the power of Qianbing Suo, even the copper skin and iron bones like Mao Zhuang, he can't fall down to the whole body, he can still lie here alive is already a fluke, not to mention that his hand, even if he finds it, it must be cut into several pieces, and it is impossible to catch it when he gets it back." ”

"Jiang Xun's self-healing ability is several times more than usual, I don't know how he did it before, but similar things are very likely to have been experienced in his past, and since he can recover at that time, we may be able to give it a try now." I said, "As long as there is hope, you have to try it to know if it will work." ”

"I refuse." Ziwei said: "We have just escaped death, and there is no need to take any more risks because of such unrealistic ideas." ”

"Impractical?"

"If his self-healing ability is really as strong as you think, at this time, his wounds should have begun to heal, and when we find all his broken arms piece by piece, and then find a way to put them together, his wound section may have been completely closed, how can we connect him at that time?"

The self-healing process of Jiang Xun's wound is only something I have really seen up close, so it's no wonder that he has doubted it.

Ziwei said: "And if we encounter that evil path again, when the three of us join forces, we will be defeated without even seeing each other's faces, and we will almost lose our lives, and none of us will know how much ability he himself has." ”

"Ziwei." I suddenly felt a chill and asked, "Didn't you fight him?" Alone, he didn't fall behind, and he destroyed half of his dolls? ”

Zi Wei was stunned for a moment, his body stiffened, his face turned pale for a moment, he avoided his gaze, and his voice softened, "I...... At that time, I was disturbed by that sharp voice, and I have no memory of what happened. ”

"Really?" I don't believe it, Situ Yao clearly said that he was not disturbed by sound waves, the two are different, one must be a lie, but what good does Situ Yao do to lie to me with such words, Ziwei's reaction is not right.

"That, Shopkeeper Shen." Tang Kari said: "If you want to give it a try, do you have any plans?" Why don't we ask the people of the Situ family to help, their second young master saved us, and he should also be a powerful character. ”

I shook my head, "Before Jiang Xun woke up, it was better not to be known by others." ”

Tang Kari asked, "Why?" ”

"I can't say it yet, I just think that his ability is not a simple matter, and before we find out if there are other involved, if we are exposed to outsiders, we may be in a very passive situation."

Tang Ka nodded, I thought about it, and said to him: "When Lan Ruo comes back, I will follow her out for a walk, figure out the shape, if I can, buy some self-defense things and come back, and then find a chance to return to the boundary of that ravine." ”

"Okay." Tang Jia agreed, and then the two of them looked at Ziwei at the same time, he turned his back, walked directly past us, and said, "I'm not involved, what you want to do has nothing to do with me." ”

After speaking, he walked out the door and returned to his room, Tang Jia didn't understand the situation, and asked me: "What's wrong with him, wasn't he okay before?" ”

"I don't know." I watched him leave and said, "Since he left Dongyan Town, he seems to be trapped by something, isolating himself in his own world, unable to get out of it, and refusing to let me in." ”

Thinking of his face just now, I couldn't be relieved, and said to Tang Jiao: "You are guarding Jiang Xun here, I'll go to see Ziwei, and before I come back, remember not to let the people of the Situ family contact him alone." ”

He nodded, and I went out and knocked on Ziwei's door, calling out to him, but there was no answer.

I stood in front of the door and said, "Ziwei, you let me in first, and the two of us have a good talk." ”

There was still no sound inside, I gave up knocking on the door, my hand still on the door panel, "Even if you don't want to say anything now, it doesn't matter, I promise you, until you are willing to tell me, I can ask nothing, you just open the door and let me see you, you really worry me like this." ”

"Shen Ziwei!" I tapped the door hard, but he was still silent, and there was no response, and I was a little annoyed in my anxiety, afraid that something was going on with him, and I was just uneasy.

"Sister Shen, what are you doing here?"

I turned around and saw that Lan Ruo had already returned, looked at the closed door and asked me, "Did you quarrel?" ”

I shook my head, and she tried knocking on the door twice, then turned her head and asked, "Do you want me to open the door for you?" I have a way. ”

She laughed and said, "Brother Yu has taught me some techniques, although not as powerful as him and Second Brother, but it is more than enough to open the latch." ”

She held out a finger and pointed it between the two doors, and I was distraught, wondering what else I could do even if I forcibly opened the door and came face to face with him, and he didn't want to talk to me, so I finally sighed and said, "Forget it." ”

Lan Ruo withdrew her hand, I left the door, walked slowly along the corridor, and asked her, "Can you go out for a walk with me?" ”

"Yes." Lan Ruo said: "Today is the market, you wait for me to go and get a basket, just to buy something and come back." ”

I nodded, took another piece of clothing to put on my body, hid the tart whip around my waist, and waited in the courtyard for her to come back with a bamboo basket, and went out of the gate together.
