Chapter Eighteen The Old Man and the Puppet
The two of them had their own thoughts and remained silent. They put their hands behind their heads, leaned against the wall, and looked at the starry sky in the night sky. "Lingxi, now I am also on the Angel Star. How are you in the Angel Nebula in that world? Are you okay?"
After a while, Qin Wuyou took out his cell phone, looked at Lingxi's smile on his phone, and asked Kaisha, "I'm playing a song, don't mind."
"Well" Kaisha didn't understand why Qin Wuyou suddenly wanted to play the song, but she didn't refuse.
“
Who is mocking for showing off her power with beauty
How to match without a heart
The ringtone is crisp
Lights between curtains
You and I are born to be a couple
It's the original sin without you
It's better to match without a heart
.............
It's you who kisses the pen
Tears dyed the corners of my eyes
Who is the sadness and joy of a divorce and encounter?
They misunderstood
I'm only at your disposal
Which one is more perfect in the world
.............
”
A song is finished.
"It sounds very nice, I have never heard of it before. This song is very sad. Can you tell me what story it is written?" Kesha said.
Qin Wuyou nodded, then played it in a loop, and began to talk.
"It is said that in my hometown, in ancient times, October was already cold in the northern mountains, and a scholar was rushing on the road.
Shortly after entering the mountain, the sky became gloomy and before we could walk far, heavy snow began. Fortunately, there was no way out, and at least there was a dilapidated temple that could barely block the wind and snow. The scholar also met an old man and his puppet here.
It was a very strange and indescribable feeling.
The old man's hair was gray and his clothes were ragged. He had no valuable things on his body, but the puppet he was holding in his hand was lifelike, like a living girl, especially the tears mole under the corners of his eyes, which was really adorable.
Meeting is fate. It happened that snow rose late at night and there was nothing to do. So the scholar and the old man simply sat in front of the fire and roasted the fire while chatting. Unexpectedly, as soon as the clip was opened, they couldn't close it. After hearing him chatting for more than half an hour, he knew what happened before.
The old man said that he was so playful when he was a child. As long as he heard the ringtone of the silk ring, he knew that it was the artist who played the silk puppet who was here. There was a joyful and joyful silk play on the stage, but he was in the stage and was intimately attracted by the soul.
So, when I was happy, I simply started learning puppet show. I beat and scolded at home. Seeing that I couldn't stop it, I had to let him go. I just entered the industry and acted for a lifetime.
I have wandered around countless mountains and rivers, and I have gone through countless alleys. I have nothing but the leisurely and unrestrained spirit when I was young. I have no home or companionship, and I have nothing left in my life except the puppet in my arms that has been with me for the rest of my life.
The old man cried before he finished speaking. He wiped his face with the sleeves of the patches, but he couldn't wipe them clean. I didn't know what to say, so I just used it, so I just wanted to coax him to brighten his skills. Unexpectedly, this trick worked well. The old man blew his nose and stopped crying, and really performed a show for the scholar.
In fact, I don’t know the sadness and joy in the play, but the puppet dancing with the music of the pan bell is so beautiful that it is shockingly beautiful. Even though I know that it is just a silk thread, I feel like I am alive and I can’t help but want to hold hands.
After the song was finished, the scholar couldn't help but say to the old man, "You really deserve to be a play that has been playing for a lifetime." Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the old man just held the puppet and smiled, and his face suddenly changed after laughing.
"A lifetime! I have done such a thing in my life and wasted my whole life!"
"Who is it? It's not this thing!" The old man stared at the puppet in his arms, looked at it for a long time, and then said, "It's snowing heavily, but I can't even prepare a cotton coat. I'm almost unable to get through this winter, so what else do you want to do? Why not make firewood and warm your body!"
Before the scholar could come to his senses, the old man raised his hand and the puppet was thrown into the fire. He couldn't stop him, and the scholar's mind was left with a sentence "What a pity!"
The scene that appeared then was unforgettable for me in my life.
The flames passed by the puppet wearing a beautiful dancing sleeve shirt, burning the delicate bones carved from basswood, making a sound of beating. At that moment, the puppet slowly stood up, bowed to the old man sadly, and bowed to the bow to show goodbye. His expression seemed like a living person, and he was drowned in the fire with a smile.
The fire that night was extremely long and warm, and there was clearly not much firewood, but the fire gradually became cold until the sky was bright.
The old man woke up and covered his face and cried to the burning ashes, "It's really warm, but now I'm really the only one left."
That morning, the sun poured on the old man who was crying loudly. His hair had become like snow on the ground at some point. The beautiful doll stood silently behind the old man, with reluctance in his eyes.
Suddenly, she seemed to feel the scholar's gaze, looked back and opened her mouth slightly
"Actually, I don't want to leave him either, but I'm just a puppet..."
After listening to Qin Wuyou's story, Kaisha's eyes were blurred. "What a sad story, I've been with her all my life. The old man fell in love with only a puppet. He devoted love to things, but he couldn't get it, which is the most sad."
"Oh, yes. It's a very sad story." Qin Wuyou said in agreement.
"Who are you missing?" Kaisha asked when he saw Qin Wuyou showing his longing expression.
Qin Wuyou sighed, "Yes, I miss her very much. I wonder if she is living a good life now. Are you missing me too?"
Hearing Qin Wuyou's words, Kaisha's eyes dimmed, "Then... why don't you go back and see her?"
Qin Wuyou shook her head and said with a little depressed expression, "She has her own thing to do, I don't want to force her to stay. And even if I want to go back now, I can't go back now."
"Why?" Kaisha was a little confused about why she didn't go back to see her because she missed her so much. Qin Wuyou was so strong and had no problems. Where could the universe go?
"The old man and the puppet are separated by life, and I and her... are separated by time. Both are as far away as possible and cannot be changed by human power." Qin Wuyou stared at the bonfire in front of him and said in a low tone.
Qin Wuyou and Kaisha sat in front of the fire and chatted all night.
In the early morning, Kaisha was no longer so restrained in front of Qin Wuyou, and she was talking and laughing with Qin Wuyou.
"Tadada..." A few footsteps came from the dim woods not far away.
Kaisha summoned a long sword and entered a defensive state. At this time, Ruoning happened to come out of the house. Seeing Kaisha staring at the woods with a sword on her face, she hurried to her side. She took out her sword and looked around vigilantly.
"Kaisha, could it be Hua Ye's people chasing me?"
"I don't know yet, it should be." Kesha shook her head, but her eyes kept staring at the whereabouts of the sound.
Qin Wuyou looked at the woods not far away and showed a puzzled look. Hua Ye? He is really not afraid of death. He just beat him seriously and dares to send someone to cause trouble for him now.
However, it is a bit unlike Hua Ye. Hua Ye has always been arrogant and always shows high spirits. If he is his, he should have very neat footsteps. The footsteps sound a little flustered, and it feels like he is being chased by someone.
"Sister!" A crisp sound sounded, and several female angels appeared and ran towards Kaisha. Surround Kaisha and protected her inside. A figure that looked like Kaisha was not up and down and threw herself into Kaisha's arms. Looking at this familiar and beautiful figure, combined with her name for Kaisha, Qin Wuyou knew that this should be Liang Bing, that is, the future King of Apocalypse, Morgana, the Demon Queen.
The new female angels had blood on their clothes, not sure whether they were the enemy or their own. At this time, several female angels also saw Qin Wuyou behind Kaisha, and drew their swords and pointed them at Qin Wuyou, looking at him vigilantly.
"Who are you? Did you tie my sister up?" Liang Bing pointed at Qin Wuyou with a bad expression.
He is really casual, without asking any questions, pointing at others when he comes up. He is not afraid of any misunderstandings? No wonder he will become the future demon queen Morgana.
Kaisha pressed Liang Bing's hand holding the sword, "Liang Bing, don't be impulsive, he is...my friend, he saved me from Hua Ye's hand." After talking about Liang Bing's situation these days, these new female angels relaxed their vigilance a little. But they still instinctively stayed away from Qin Wuyou. Now they have no good feelings for any male.
Looking at Liang Bing covered in blood, Kaisha asked, "Liang Bing, why are you here? You are still covered in blood."
Liang Bing explained, "It's okay, sister, this is the blood of those male angels. When I heard the news that you were caught by Hua Ye, I brought my sisters to you. As a result, I met a group of male angels. They wanted to catch us as soon as they met, but we broke through, but fortunately we met you here."
At this time, a female angel walked up and suggested: "Sister Liang Bing, let's leave with Sister Kaisha first. I guess those male angels will soon catch up."
"Yes, we have to leave quickly." Hearing the female angel's words, he realized that this place was not a place for a long time. Liang Bing pulled Kaisha and was about to leave.
"You are afraid you can't leave." Qin Wuyou said.
"Do you want to stop us?" Liang Bing pointed his sword at Qin Wuyou again.
"Idiot, see what that is for yourself." Qin Wuyou rolled his eyes and pointed to the woods not far away.
Liang Bing looked in the direction he pointed, and saw more than a dozen male angels walking out of the woods. The leading second-generation angel hugged his chest and said contemptuously: "Liang Bing, you can't escape, so go back with us. You are the woman that King Hua Ye likes. If you catch you, maybe King Hua Ye will give me a generous reward. Oh? And Kaisha, you happened to catch them together."
Liang Bing said disdainfully, "Bah! Hua Ye's old man is worthy of it!"
Several female angels stepped forward to turn Liang Bing and Kaisha blocked her behind her and made a fighting posture.
"Come on me, grab Liang Bing and Kaisha!" The angel who led the lead issued an order to the angel behind him.
More than a dozen male angels rushed forward and fought with the female angels. Only Liang Bing, Kesha, the two female angels and the second-generation angel who took the lead were the two.
There are much more male angels than these female angels, most of which are two to one, and some even three to one. Although these male angels and female angels are both angels of the same generation, female angels are not as good as male angels, and it is difficult to win if they fight one, let alone a few more. Soon the female angels fell into a disadvantage.
