no puppet

"It's so late now, what are you doing up the mountain?"

"Looking for something."

"Looking for what? Did you lose your package too?"

"...lost the dog."

"When did you get a dog?"

Xie Hengyan raised her head slightly, but did not get the answer she wished.A paper lantern under Duna's lotus leaf was flickering, and it was about to go dark, but he took advantage of the last spark of light to brush his forehead that was soaked in water.

"Your face is covered with water." He said, "Wow, it's so cold...you'll catch a cold in a while."

Yin Chun gently turned his head away, but soon, Xie Hengyan asked next to him: "Are your feet still numb...or I will carry you away?"

"No need." Yin Chun said indifferently, and got up slowly with the help of Xie Hengyan's shoulders, limping from the wall to barely stand firm.

Xie Hengyan only said: "Let's hide from the rain first, I'll go back and see if my package is there."

After speaking, he stuffed the lotus leaf into Yin Chuan's hand, turned his head and stepped up the stone steps, rushing straight into the ancestral hall in a panic.

Yin Chun followed closely behind, looking like a mouse that lost its food, he ran towards the back of the statue with his two little feet thumping, searching and searching, fishing and fishing, and finally did not forget to turn the other direction , Carefully drill hard into another crack in the wall.

—but no matter how hard he tried to find it, the package had disappeared.The two of them almost searched the inside and outside of the shrine, but they couldn't see any trace of umbrellas or clothes.

Xie Hengyan really couldn't figure it out, who would have the leisure to steal those worthless things.In the end, he turned around with a disheveled face, looked at Yin Zhu, and said aggrievedly: "It's really gone... I obviously stuffed it in the crack of the wall."

Yin Chu: "..."

Xie Hengyan said angrily, "I'm still not willing to wear those new clothes..."

Yin Chun coughed lightly, and wanted to say something along the lines of the conversation, but Xie Hengyan took the lead to darken his face, as if he was disheartened, as if he had lost some peerless treasure, lowered his head, and whispered to him: "...I'm sorry, Yinzhu."

On the contrary, Yin Chun was a little stunned, seeing that the puppet in front of him pouted, stretched out a small claw to hook the corner of his clothes, and rubbed it up and down unhappily.

"I never thought I'd lose your stuff..."

Xie Hengyan held his breath, barely daring to raise his head.He stood by Yin Chun's side with lowered eyes for a while, seeing that the person did not make a sound, he became more and more frightened and flustered.

"Don't be angry." He said cautiously, "I... I'll go out and look for it again!"

After saying that, he turned around directly, covered his head and walked out of the threshold.

"Need not!"

Just now Yin Zhu came back to his senses, and grabbed half of his arm with his backhand.When he looked up, seeing that the puppet still had a downcast expression, Yin Chun couldn't help repeating again: "There's no need to look for it, just lose it if you lose it."

Xie Hengyan suddenly said in horror: "How can it be done... It costs a lot of money to make clothes, how can someone steal them for nothing?"

"I don't need it, so I don't need it." Yin Chun's face was stiff, and he didn't know how to explain it to him, "I'll just buy it later."

Xie Hengyan: "No, I..."

"In the umbrella I gave you during the day, there is the demon-suppressing charm cast by my master."

Yin Chun took a deep breath, and finally told the truth slowly: "A total of 49... enough to kill you."

This time it was Xie Hengyan's turn to be stunned, standing blankly on the edge of the threshold, not knowing whether to advance or retreat.

Yin Zhu turned his head away unnaturally, and said, "I didn't know before..."

——So... if you lose it, you lose it, it's useless, isn't it just right?

Little did he know that deep in his heart, he had already prayed thousands of times.

If I hadn't sent the umbrella out at first, I wouldn't have been so panic-stricken.

However, at this moment, Yin Chu felt extremely awkward all over his body.

Just as he was about to speak out, he was hugged by the puppet who suddenly turned his head, and then his arms sank suddenly, and suddenly there was another hairy head.

"I knew that brother is the second best in the world!"

Xie Hengyan never discriminated against others, but fortunately, he was not too heavy, so he clung to Yin Chun's body, wheezing, touching and rubbing, really like a silly dog ​​that can wag its tail.

Yin Chu: "..."

So, why second?

Xie Hengyan was so happy, she wished she could pick him up and play him a hundred times.Naihe Yinzhen was naturally indifferent, and rarely had such intimate contact with people. Ever since he became conscious, even Kang Wen would not hug him directly.

——Only this puppet was really sticky, anyway, where others dared not touch, he almost rubbed it from the beginning to the end.In the end, Yin Zhen couldn't take it any longer, so he had no choice but to reach out and grab Xie Hengyan's head, pulling him back vigorously and saying, "Let go, if you come again, I will..."

"Brother just doesn't want me to die!" Xie Hengyan hugged him and refused to let go, "It's a lie for the monster to go the other way! You really like me, don't you? You can't bear me, do you?"

Yin Chun said coldly, "No."

Xie Hengyan's cheeks flushed, and she immediately said intoxicated: "Ah... Sure enough, senior brother likes me the most!"

Yin Chun: "???" Does he not understand human speech?

"I also like senior brother..." Xie Hengyan said with a smile, "It's just the second favorite!"

Yin Chun pushed him away indiscriminately and said, "... who cares."

Xie Hengyan couldn't listen to the words at all, and her face was full of joy, so she exerted all her strength when hugging her, almost strangling her until she couldn't breathe.

It's been a long time since Yin Chun felt this way, the first time in his memory that he had such close physical contact with a person was when he was still young, and Cheng Daofeng would occasionally pat him on the head encouragingly.

But this time when Xie Hengyan stretched out her arms to hug him, she felt a completely different feeling.To put it bluntly, it looks like a particularly sticky canine pet—not to mention that this pet is good-looking, with delicate features, and looks very cute.

The only bad thing is that he is a genuine humanoid monster.

Yin Chuan didn't know the crime of domesticating puppets in private, but he knew that during the period when the ban on demons was prevalent in the capital, many prominent princes and nobles died because of their involvement in this matter.

He couldn't afford to support this puppet, and he really couldn't bear to see him die for no reason.

So until the end, the hands that were originally about to be withdrawn reflexively retracted, trying to gently press the opponent's thin shoulders.

Just at this time, there was a lamp outside the mountain, which suddenly lit up in the dark rain of that night.Immediately afterwards, there was a series of deep and distant bells, slow and lingering, passing deep into the ears of the two of them one after another.

Xie Hengyan raised her head in a daze: "...what's the sound?"

"Ring the bell." Yin Chun looked at the sky outside the door, "In another hour, it will be almost half daylight...someone must have gone up to the mountain to pay homage."

Xie Hengyan was shocked: "So fast?"

Yin Chun looked back at him with somewhat complicated expression: "Well, you can go. It won't be long before my master will come too."

Xie Hengyan: "Where should I go?"

"Go down or up the mountain as you like." Yin Chun said, "Just blend in with the worshiping crowd... Hurry up and leave."

After saying that, he couldn't help but grab Xie Hengyan's sleeve and drive him out the door.Poor Xie Hengyan couldn't break free, so she could only look back at him and said: "The package hasn't been found yet, I don't..."

"I'll buy you a new one the next day." Yin Chun interrupted him, "If you don't leave, I'll call someone to arrest you."

Xie Hengyan couldn't help but said: "Then I will come to you the next day, so don't miss me."

Yin Chun only said: "...are you going?"

Xie Hengyan bit the bullet, turned around and hugged him again.Then he gritted his teeth and turned his head, braving the drizzle of the cold wave, rushed into the early morning night in the mountains, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

He still had a lot to say, but he didn't have time to say it to Yin Zhu.Before Gu Luyi called him down the mountain, he had considered for a long time the topics and things he talked about, and he only wanted to come and share with Yin Zhu.

But the time the two spent alone was too short, Xie Hengyan didn't even have a chance to turn around and look at him.

There are so few people who treat him well in this world, so whenever he meets one, he wants to double the same degree of love and warmth to him.

However, at the same time, Yin Chun looked up at the figure of the puppet going away, and seemed a little lost in thought.The two of them had just been exposed to an autumn rain, and the clothes on their bodies still smelled of cold and damp, but their heart was warm, throbbing, and had a different and unusual temperature.

But Yin Zhu actually knew.

The puppet has no heart, and it also has no body temperature, so he often feels suspicious, even unbelievable, and can't understand what kind of thinking is different from other people.

By the time he was too late to look back, the sky was already brightly lit unconsciously.Yin Chun spent nearly half of the night looking for Xie Hengyan, the funny thing is that the two of them sat in the ancestral hall and pushed each other without doing anything in the second half of the night. The people will start to get up early and go out one after another.

Among them naturally included his master, Cheng Daofeng.

Sure enough, less than half an hour after Xie Hengyan left, the copper bell on the top of the mountain was rang heavily again.At the same time, the lights lit up at the bottom of the mountain became more and more dazzling, almost appearing in series, illuminating the entire lush jungle from a distance.

Yin Chun stayed up all night, and when he walked down the stone steps, the sky was not yet bright, but soon he caught a glimpse of the faces of Kang Wen and Cheng Miling in the shadow of the lights.

Both of them are dressed in plain robes, holding paper umbrellas and a lantern for lighting.When seeing Yin Chu for the first time, Cheng Mi Ling only saw that his clothes were completely soaked, and even his hair was dripping downwards. He looked very embarrassed, and he didn't fit in with the rest of the people who also went up the mountain to pay homage.

Kang Wen was terribly frightened at the time, and hurriedly lowered his voice, "Senior Brother, what did you do last night?"

Cheng Miling couldn't help but said: "What day is it today, senior brother doesn't know?"

Yin Chun said calmly, "I know."

Cheng Miling probably guessed some of the inside story, so she leaned over and asked in a low voice, "You went to find Xiaowan last night... Am I right?"

Yin Chun was noncommittal, but said: "... Where is Master?"

While he was talking, he suddenly heard heavy and slow footsteps in his ears.Cheng Daofeng was still dressed in a plain robe, with one hand supported by Huo Shitang and a brand new and strong crutch with the other, he walked out from the middle of the forest at a leisurely pace.

Kang Wen couldn't even open his mouth to remind him, the old man's eyes were sharp, he turned his head and turned his gaze to the most dazzling big apprentice... Yin Zhu.
