Legend of Qingling Dance

Chapter 143 The Puppet Pushing the Empty Millstone

"It's not necessarily that he hid it." The two walked forward dozens of steps, and the little fat boy pouted his buttocks and groped for something on the ground: "The soil at the entrance of the cave seems to be newly dug. It's not here. These corpse spots Moss is a kind of humus, and it can grow without sunlight. But it must have grown so densely for many years."

Xiang Xiaoyu squatted down after hearing the words and took a closer look.Sure enough, the ground was densely covered with soft gray-green mottled moss, all two or three inches long.

"You know a lot about messy things." Xiang Xiaoyu glanced at the little fat boy: "How old are you? Who taught you?"

The little chubby boy turned his head and was very embarrassed: "I am called erudite, erudite! The guy who taught me... cough cough, why should I tell you?"

"Who is he?" Xiang Xiaoyu was immediately interested: "Is it a man or a woman? When will you meet me?"

"You?" The little fat boy looked at her up and down: "Forget it. It's okay to want anything, and you have a bad temper, so don't covet him."

"You!" Xiang Xiaoyu was so angry that he pulled his ears again: "Who is coveting whom? What kind of sweets? Why are you talking so irritatingly, you little brat!"

The little fat boy laughed so hard that he held his belly and dodged: "Someone is coming, someone is coming, don't grab it!"

He suddenly jumped to the side and said solemnly: "Shh! Someone has discovered us!"

Xiang Xiaoyu didn't believe what he said: "Bah! Where is the person?"

However, she quickly fell silent, because she found that there were really two figures in front of her.

"Little Fatty, go and have a look." Xiang Xiaoyu gave Little Fatty a wink, and then hid behind him.

The little fat boy was talking nonsense.

However, he straightened up and took a look, and found that there were indeed two figures busy in the shadow not far away.

One half bent over, swinging the big circle with both arms to the distance.

The other was hunched over and spinning in circles.

The little fat boy looked at it suspiciously for a while, and found that they were repeating the same movements over and over again, coming and going, and the time for half a stick of incense didn't change at all.

He looked away and suddenly found two more figures doing the same action a little further away.

They looked around.

As far as the eye can see, where the spiritual light can illuminate, there are countless shadows, and there are countless figures busy silently!I don't know how many there are!

"Four, six, eight, twelve..." Xiang Xiaoyu was also counting: "I can't count... Oh my god, there are so many people here..."

The little chubby boy scratched his head and interrupted her: "It's not human, it doesn't have the breath of a living person. It seems to be a puppet of magic or witchcraft... But I think their movements are a bit familiar, as if..."

He turned to Xiang Xiaoyu: "Hey, you are older than me, look, do you recognize me?"

Before he finished speaking, Xiang Xiaoyu pointed at him and smiled like a silver bell: "Ah? You don't even recognize this one? Have you ever seen a mill? Hee hee! You even pretended to be knowledgeable!"

The little fat boy nodded ignorantly: "Well, push the mill."

He curled his mouth and looked innocent: "He is a child, how can he know everything."

However, he immediately asked humbly: "What is a millstone? I have never seen this at Miss Liang's house."

Xiang Xiaoyu gave him a blank look: "You dude! The nectar pea cake you eat is made of pea flour. The peas are round and round, and they have to be finely ground with a stone mill before they can be used to make them. Cake. Do you understand?"

The little fat boy blinked his eyes: "Oh, it turns out that he made this. It seems that people are still very powerful. Although they are weak, they can use tools. There are so many whimsical ideas, and they can also make real objects. .”

Xiang Xiaoyu covered her mouth and smiled: "Nonsense. Could it be that you are not human?"

The little fat boy wrinkled his nose and made a face at her: "I am a child. I have not yet fully experienced the meaning of being a human being."

But he immediately asked in doubt: "But why are these puppets pushing the millstone here?"

"That's right!" Xiang Xiaoyu didn't quite understand: "Could it be that King Hui set up a bean flour workshop down there? Isn't this really good at saving land?"

The two chatted nonsense for a long time, and finally walked towards a figure grinding away.

The moss underfoot is soft, and they walk quietly.

The closer he got to the figure grinding the mill, the softer the moss under his feet became, half of his foot sank with every step he took.

"These corpse mosses grow so densely, it seems that there are quite a few of them down here..." The little fat boy stepped on the ground.

"What did you say?" Xiang Xiaoyu asked.

"I didn't say anything." The little fat boy stuck out his tongue.

In front of them were indeed two stone puppets carved into human shapes.

Because of their age, their bodies were covered with a layer of gray-green corpse moss.

There is also a thick layer attached to the head and face.

The only thing that is alive is the puppet's eyes.

They emitted a dim yellow light, and when they pushed the millstone, they turned it from time to time, as if they were alive.

In front of them was a rough stone mill.

The surrounding area of ​​the stone mill is also covered with dense mosses.

A puppet pulls the mill, and a puppet pushes the mill.

The two walked forward for about a stick of incense, and all they could see were these puppets.

They do the same work without stopping for a moment, as if they are never tired.

In the shadows under the spiritual light lamp, there are countless pairs of such puppets, driven by the spiritual energy crystal, endlessly repeating the grinding and grinding movements. This scene looks really scary!

"The spirit stones of these puppets can't be exhausted?" Xiang Xiaoyu was very puzzled: "Let me break open one and have a look."

"Don't!" Before the little fat boy could stop him, Xiang Xiaoyu slashed down on a puppet's head!

"Oh!"

A black spiritual light flashed, half of the puppet's head had been cut off by her, and two shiny yellow spiritual power crystals "Gulu Gulu" rolled down!
It turned out that these were the two eyeballs of the puppet.

"Bang." The grinding disc stopped suddenly, making a muffled sound.

The other puppet actually didn't move either.

"Can you use your brain? This is your family's territory? You don't know what's going on, so you just do it indiscriminately? Reckless woman! I'm so mad!" The little fat boy went crazy with anger.

"Kuang, kuang, kuang, kuang..." Countless muffled sounds sounded one after another!

The two looked around and discovered that all the stone puppets had stopped working!
"You are in big trouble!" The little fat boy gritted his teeth and glared at Xiang Xiaoyu.

Xiang Xiaoyu also changed his expression.

She looked around nervously for a moment, but did not see any subsequent movement from the puppets. She couldn't help but smile and said: "Look, it's okay!"

However, before she finished speaking, all the puppets suddenly moved again!

They put down the grinding rods in their hands one after another, looked at each other for a moment, raised their arms mechanically, and held each other's shoulders tightly, as if they wanted to embrace each other's bodies warmly.

"Oh my god, what are they doing?" Xiang Xiaoyu rolled her eyes.
