Volume 2: Two Incidents II: Dolls

The bell rings crisply, as if a specific call, and in the cave, from time to time, children show their heads and look out curiously, and the pale young man sets up an awning and performs in the mountains with a puppet.

The puppets are well-made, their skin is as white as snow, their makeup is elegant, their eyes and eyelashes are painted with teardrops, and the puppets in red clothes dance in the hands of young people.

The children ran out of the cave and sat around the young man, and after the young man and the puppet danced, they smiled and bowed to the children around them, thanking him for these little spectators, and the young man opened the package on the side, and built a small stage with the scattered parts inside, and then put the puppet on the small stage, and connected his wrist and the puppet's wrist with a red rope, and danced again on this stage, and from time to time shouted out one or two sentences of the joke that the children around him could not understand, which made the children feel a little inexplicable.

After the performance, the young man took the puppet and bowed to the children around him again, and the children clapped their hands and ran to the young man's side, surrounding the young man.

The young man happily agreed, and handed the doll to the children, so that they could look at it carefully, and then the young man looked at a small hole, where there was a blue-haired boy, who was looking timidly at it, and the young man smiled at him, and when each child had seen it, the young man took the doll and came to the mouth of the cave, and asked him to watch, and the boy just ran into the cave.

The young man smiled helplessly, scratched his head, this is not the first time, the young man took the puppet to dismantle the stage, put it back in the package, put away the awning, put it on his back, held up an umbrella, took the puppet, and moved towards the place where the adults were not allowed to go in the children's memory.

The children looked at each other, and then laughed, broke a branch, peed and some mud, found a few leaves, and the doll that belonged to them was done, and this was the children's toy for the day, and when the sun set and the children were tired of playing, the adults in the cave came out with pale faces and took their children back, and the children reluctantly parted with their friends, and they knew that when they had finished their meal and slept well, they would be able to continue watching the doll and the young man's dance and play tomorrow.

The next day, the children hid at the entrance of the cave, hoping that the young man would continue to perform for them with his puppet, but this time no one appeared in the place at sunset, and the cardinal dance of the valley disappeared from the children's eyes.

The children were a little disappointed, but soon forgot about it, and the only thing that continued to play with them was the blue-haired boy, lying at the entrance of the cave, waiting for the man to arrive.

After a few more days, the young man appeared in the valley, holding the puppet's neck, pinching the puppet and throwing it on the ground, the puppet was still the puppet, but the young man was not the young man anymore, the young man didn't need to play an umbrella every day, he didn't need to set up an awning, and he didn't need to face the puppet... Gentle.

The puppet thrown on the ground by the young man is crying in the eyes of the children at the moment, just like a child who can't find his parents, crying in confusion and aggrieved and afraid.

There was a long, flat wooden stick around the waist of the young man's back, which swayed up and down as the man walked, and the children did not know what it was, but felt that it was different from ordinary wooden sticks, and the young man was bored and stepped on the puppet's head, stepping it into the dirt, looking around, as if waiting for something.

In a moment the young man's face appeared impatient, and his hand rested on the stick behind his back, and his knuckles struck on it, as if he were trying to kill the last of his patience.

When the shadow on his face moved from the west to the east, the young man no longer beat the wooden stick behind his back, but held it and pulled it outward, and the cold instantly swallowed the entire valley, the children curled up and exhaled white air, and the young man's pupils turned into a dazzling gold, more dazzling than the sun in the sky.

The silver-white long flat stick looked at the puppet's neck, and there was no expression in his eyes, just like looking at a corpse chaser and seeing an ordinary corpse, it couldn't make any waves at all, and the children still didn't know what the young man was when he got it, but they all knew what he would do, completely destroying the puppet.

The adults hugged their children from behind, so that they could not do anything stupid because of their hot heads, but not everyone wanted parents, the blue-haired boy ran out of the small cave crying, the young man's eyes just swept over him, and then he turned the thing in his hand and inserted it back into the wooden stick behind his back, and the young man protected the doll, spread it on the doll's head, and looked at the young man crying.

The boy didn't understand why he could only live in the valley as soon as he was born, the boy didn't understand why only his parents left after he was born, the boy didn't understand why he was the only one with blue hair, the boy didn't want to understand, the boy didn't want to understand that the boy had lived so far and liked the young man who danced with the doll, only he was the same to himself as he was to everyone else, so the boy ran out desperately and protected the doll in the hands of the young man, thinking that tomorrow he would see the young man dance with the doll for himself.

The ......young man looked at the young man, as if he wanted to speak, but instead of speaking, he raised his feet, closed his eyes, rubbed his eyes with his hands, and when he opened them again, his golden pupils had turned ordinary brown.

The young man walked to a cave, and after a long silence with the adult kneeling on the ground, he blushed and squeezed a word out of his teeth.

"Oh"

The word seemed to exhaust the young man's strength, and the young man hurriedly turned around and left the place after speaking, while the adult who was kneeling on the ground couldn't figure out what was going on.

But it didn't matter to the boy, because the boy now had a goal, and the boy hugged the doll tightly, wiped away the tears on her face that she couldn't erase, and brought her back to the small cave where he lived.

From then on, the boy began to wait in the valley with the puppet for the young man who danced with the puppet, but no one came, and the boy's life was even worse, in addition to protecting the puppet from his peers every day, he also had to endure the eyes of the adults, and the boy was very afraid, and the adults looked at him as if he was looking at a monster that would kill them at any time, and he seemed to be dead or dead in their eyes.

The boy didn't care, anyway, there wasn't much difference from before, the boy began to dance with the puppet like the young man, and when the boy was dancing with the puppet, he felt that his body was actually becoming... Terrible.

Trees that were previously impossible to climb can now be climbed with ease, and the changes that used to hold their breath in the water for only a few breaths can now be counted even more in the water, and these changes have made the people around them fear themselves even more.

I don't know when, an adult dragged the injured body and said to the others that they could go out, everyone seemed to be happy, but the next day, they still lived their own lives, no one went out, the teenager felt for some reason that these people would never be able to get out, and even if they went out, they would come back soon.

The boy hated this, and after a few more years, there was still no one to go out, and the boy became a man, and the boy also understood a lot of things, such as they had been kept in captivity by the monster, for example, the monster's thing was this puppet, and the man understood, these people were destined to be here.

The man dressed himself up the next day, dressed himself up as the young man, and then took the puppet and danced with the puppet in the place where the young man used to dance, and on that day, people hit him on the head with stones, but he was very happy, he held the puppet in his arms and danced, and did nothing to the people who beat him, even though he knew that he could easily crush their skulls now, and after the dance, he left with the puppet.

The man went out of the valley, and the illiterate man looked at the two words on the puppet's blood-red clothes, which he couldn't read but he knew were characters, and searched while performing, looking for the young man's hometown.

When the image of Ren Buji's slashing at the soul was presented in Lu Jiu's left eye, the huge evil barrier occupied half of the room and drilled towards Lu Jiu's left eye, and Lu Jiu shed tears.

Mo Lai in Lu Jiu's Divine Sea was in a bad situation, endless evil obstacles fell overwhelmingly, struggling to get under the sword qi, Mo Lai ran to the black sword, looking at all this in shock, what is the situation with these evil obstacles?

Tuk, tuk, tuk.

When the sound reached Mo Lai's ears or Lu Jiu's ears, a trace of smoke evaporated on the evil barrier, and the evil barrier under the sword qi in Lu Jiu's divine sea began to calm down, no longer rolling, Mo Lai looked down, he was like standing on a lonely island, below was white and colorless sword qi, and down was the fear that devoured people's hearts.

Lu Jiu covered his right hand, his wings turned back into human hands, Lu Jiu was sweating profusely, this time it was not only painful but also very tired, the green clothes on Lu Jiu's body flashed, and the sweat stains on the girl's body disappeared, the flute in Lu Jiu's arms overflowed wisps of green gas and drilled towards Lu Jiu's body, and suddenly Lu Jiu felt a lot more comfortable, Lu Jiu took a deep breath, jumped out of bed, opened the door, and saw a bald head sitting on the aisle outside, banging on something while still muttering something in his mouth, although he didn't understand, but he felt very relieved.

The bald head saw Lu Jiu and smiled heartily, "Donor, the little monk just felt the existence of evil obstacles in this room and recited the Buddhist scriptures, hoping to help the donor." ”

Lu Jiu nodded his head as if he didn't understand, "Thank you." ”

"The donor's words are serious. The bald head replied heartily.

Mo Lai sat in Lu Jiu's sea of gods, looking at this bald head, raising his eyebrows, which ethnic minority belief is this?

The formation pattern on Fengdu's teleportation array emitted a faint green light, and after the light, two people appeared on the formation, and the young man carried five or six swords at his waist behind his back, and only one of them had a scabbard but no sword boring that was held by the young man all the time.

The golden pupils in the eyes of the young man were particularly dazzling in Fengdu, a few points more dazzling than the sun in the sky, the young man looked around, frowned, and said to himself, "Wrong again?"
