puppet master

-two-

I don't have a name, because I am good at puppet shows, people call me Ah Yan.

Ah Yan and his elder brother depended on each other for their lives, traveling around to perform for a living, living a poor but comfortable life.

It's a pity that God is merciless, my brother suddenly got a strange disease, his body became weaker and weaker, his movements became slower and slower, and he even lost the ability to speak and became a mute.

Ah Yan has only one relative, his elder brother. He is afraid of being alone and that no one will talk to him, so no matter what the price, he is determined to cure his elder brother.

Later, Ah Yan met a kind-hearted Taoist priest on the way to seek medical treatment. The Taoist priest was moved by this brotherhood, and told him the secret recipe that could cure his brother.

Bai Yi's expression was almost pious when he listened to my story. He probably didn't want to interrupt my thoughts, so he only flashed sad and sympathetic eyes, urging me to continue talking.

I told him: "One of the things needed in the secret recipe is the 'Devil Serpent Egg', so I came here for that."

Bai Yi was shocked, and whispered: "The egg of the underworld snake? This is too difficult!"

No wonder he was surprised, the ghost snake is a rare spirit beast, there are less than ten in the world, and they only build caves on the stone walls of the North Wilderness Ice Field Canyon.

Hades snakes are highly poisonous. They reproduce once every three years and only lay two eggs each time. They have a strong nature. If they find someone coveting its eggs, they will attack them first. If they fail, they would rather swallow the snake eggs themselves.

Legend has it that Hades snake eggs have the magical effect of prolonging life for twenty years. For thousands of years, countless ordinary people have flocked to them, but almost no one has successfully hunted even one.

And I wanted two as soon as I wanted them, and I was so greedy that I couldn't even look down on myself.

"But there is no other way to cure the disease. Even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​fire, you have to go through it, don't you think so, brother?"

Listening to my question, my brother hugged me gently, and patted my back with his palm reassuringly.

Bai Yi looked at us full of trepidation, and only after his brother let go of his embrace did he ask again: "Are you planning to go by yourself...?"

What he didn't say must be "go to die".

I shook my head: "Of course not, I want to ask someone for help."

"who?"

"Safari, Kuroba."

Hei Yu is a safari in the northern wilderness. He hunts rare and rare animals from the ice field, and then exchanges them with the people of the Central Plains for what he needs. In addition, he also occasionally does "taking people's money, sex" business.

Some people have seen him use a long whip as a weapon to sweep away hundreds of wolves with one move. It is said that the whip is the backbone of a flood dragon and can crush everything in the world.

As long as he can afford the reward, Hei Yu can hunt anything for you.

Bai Yi seemed to be stunned, he stared at me with his mouth slightly open.

This kind of reaction is probably because the name of Hei Yu is like a god to the Northern Wilderness, and it is a fierce god.

I smiled and woke Bai Yi up from his stupefied state: "Now that you know, what can you do? You can't help me, so don't follow me. Let's meet by chance, so let's not live together."

Walking out of the shelter of the boulder, I heard the whistling of the wind, like a sharp knife scraping my face.

I asked my brother to follow behind, so as to block him from the cold wind. After walking a few steps with difficulty, I saw a white shadow flickering in front of me, blocking the way.

It's white clothes, it turns out that his body skills are so agile.

The distance is too close, I need to raise my head to look at him, Bai Yi looked at me, his eyes were firm after making a decision.

He said: "I can help you, I will take you to find him, my name is Xue Ren, and Hei Yu is my elder brother."

So I followed him.

Baiyi, no, it's Xueren.

Of course Xue Ren didn't lie to me, a person like him can't lie to me at all.
