The fast travel is too late

Chapter 9

The small white porcelain bowl was broken, it was a special bowl Cen Shen gave to Xin Wu, and there was a small bird painted on it.Xin Wu liked this bowl very much. Every day when he ate pine nuts, Cen Shen had to pour the pine nuts into the bowl before he would eat.

Now the bowl is broken!
So angry!

The wings have a faint tendency to dissolve the mist, so let this guy sleep in a dream.This is an innate skill that Xin Wu has just learned recently. As long as she gives up the animal form and returns to the original fog state, she can drag people shrouded in the fog into a dream, and the fog will not disperse, and the dream will not wake up.A very useful skill is that she hasn't tried it yet.

The big guy who still turned his back to her in front of her is a good experiment, she smelled the smell of a monster on him!

The feathers pecked from the body were intercepted before they could reach the big man.

The boy pinched the feathers, the white feathers felt strange and cold to the touch.

"Is it time to moult?"

Cen Shen glanced at the feather in his hand, then at the little chubby bird that rushed in just now.He has seen that the chickens raised by people in the village sometimes lose some feathers. A Wu is also a bird, and it should also moult when the season comes.

Don't birds molt during the warm season?The Qingming Festival has not passed yet, and the weather is still a bit cold!
Huh!When did Cen Shen come out?

The blurry movement stopped instantly. Xin Wu circled Cen Shen twice, and then glanced at the person at the table who was still facing away from her. No wonder she felt that this big man made people feel close. It turned out that it was because of him. There is a deep breath on him.

Seems like something is not right.

Xin Wu no longer thought about the broken white porcelain bowl. She flew to the big guy's side and found that the big guy's exposed hands were a little weird. They didn't look like real people's hands, but looked a bit like they were made of wood.

It seems to be really made of wood!
Leaning close to the big man's hand and pecking, the sound of dun dun dun clearly showed his woody features.

Xin Wu thought of the legend about Yanshi in her world.

It is said that when King Mu of Zhou inspected the territory, a skilled craftsman named Yanshi voluntarily offered his skills to King Mu.He visited Mu Wang with a puppet that was no different from human beings. The puppet had a human appearance, could sing and dance, just like a real person.

King Mu was very surprised by this, so he asked his concubines and servants to watch together. Later, the puppet winked at King Mu's concubine. King Mu felt very angry. He thought the puppet was a real person, and he wanted to kill him in anger. Yanshi.

In fear, Yanshi cut open the puppet, revealing the inside made of various materials.Although the organs in the puppet are all fake, there are none that are missing.King Mu took away the puppet's heart, and its mouth could no longer speak; took away the puppet's liver, and its eyes could no longer see; took away the puppet's kidney, and its feet could no longer walk.

The wooden man in front of him looks like a human at first glance, but upon closer inspection, he can find that its skin still has the texture of wood, and one can tell that it is not a real person.I just don’t know if it is like the puppet in the legend, it can move on its own without human manipulation.

"What do you think of it?" Cen Shen knocked on the wooden man's head, talking to Xin Wu.

"After the Qingming Festival, I will go to the ethnology school, and I can't take you with me then. So I dug it out. Although it was broken before, it can still be used after repairing it."

broken?Fix it?
It seems very familiar.

Xin Wu seemed to have heard similar words somewhere, and glanced at the willow tree outside the house from the corner of her eye. She remembered that one of the rumors she heard that day said that Cen Shen was always followed by a wooden man, could it be this?

"I changed his appearance and found a suit of clothes. When I told others, I told him that he was a long-term worker I hired outside to take care of you, okay?"

Cen Shen poked the little chubby bird who was a little stiff. He still likes the wooden man now.

When he first learned how to make a puppet when he was a child, he never thought that a puppet can be made into a human being.The puppet figures he made at the beginning were real puppets, not delicate at all. The facial features on the face were carved casually, and the joints of the hands and feet were exposed. It looked like a wood carving rather than a human being.So after such a puppet appeared in the village, the villagers looked at him even more strangely.

People are always afraid of the unknown, and when they are afraid, they will always do some unexpected things.

At that time, Cen Shen didn't realize that the reason the villagers treated him more and more alienated was because of the wooden man behind him. Before he knew it, the villagers had already destroyed his wooden man when he was not paying attention.

I heard that the villagers originally wanted to burn the wooden doll directly, but the wood Cen Shen used to make the doll was iron wood found from the back mountain.In addition to being relatively hard, iron wood has only one advantage that it is not afraid of water and fire.

After burning with fire had no effect, the villagers firmly believed that the wooden man was a monster.They chopped off the limbs of the wooden man with axes, and threw all the remaining wood under the cliff.

Cen Shen knew that there was a seal under the cliff, and there was a real monster inside the seal.It was a monster that had lost its partner and was waiting for death in the seal.Cen Shen knew from a very young age that the monster was dying and that its lifespan was coming to an end.

Not long ago, the monster's aura suddenly weakened, and Cen Shen knew it was really going to die.He waited for the monster to die before he could find the destroyed puppet under the cliff.On the day he met Ah Wu, he was going to find a puppet, but who knew that the mountain road was difficult to walk, and he couldn't find the way to the cliff after wandering around the mountain for a whole day.But fortunately, that day was not considered a fruitless day, he somehow brought back Ah Wu.

These days, Cen Shen has been looking for the way to the cliff. In the days when Ah Wu went out early and returned late, he finally found the remaining parts of the wooden figure, and picked up some monster bones along the way to contribute to the production of the puppet.

But it looks silly, and it doesn't look so human when you look closely!

Xin Wu looked at the wooden texture and felt a little troubled. Although it looked very human, it was good!But those with sharp eyes can tell something is wrong at a glance.

Pecking the woodpecker's hand again, Xin Wu signaled to Cen Shen to take a look at the big guy and keep it at home and not take it out.However, Cen Shen didn't understand what she meant.

"Just call him wood." Cen Shen carried Xin Wu out of the door and stepped over the porcelain fragments on the ground. He said with some embarrassment, "I accidentally smashed A Wu's rice bowl just now. Fortunately, Tuo Cen Hai The new bowl you ordered has arrived. Let’s go and see if the new bowl is good. I painted the style of the new bowl specially for you. The pattern on it is made by burning and will not fade. It’s great!”

She kept looking back at the puppet named Wood. The new bowl couldn't attract her. The bowl was hers anyway, and she couldn't escape. This puppet with flaws was what she needed to focus on now. ah.

The little fat bird in his hand turned around frequently, as if he wasn't interested at all in the new bowl he was talking about.Cen Shen covered the little fat bird's head with his hands and stopped her from looking any further.

"The wood hasn't been completely finished yet, let's go to see the bowl for dinner, and when the wood is ready, I'll give it to you to play with."

Is it because it is not done well, so the skin still looks like wood texture?
Xin Wu huddled into a ball in Cen Shen's hand, this was a new habit she had formed, and she wanted to huddle into a ball whenever she thought about it.

I really want to know how the dolls in Yanshi are made, not only the appearance is no different from real people, but even their usual actions make people unable to tell the real from the fake.I don't know if Cen Shen is willing to let her stay by his side before the work is finished.
