Extraordinary Pioneer

Chapter 182 The Old Man Singing
winter!

This timing node is very important.

In the text of the task background, it was recorded that the red-shirted puppet manipulated by the old man was turned into ashes in the flames in winter, not in the current summer.

If this is the case, then half a year later, I may have to face the most important plot.

"Is it necessary to wait for half a year..."

Li Ye thought to himself.

"Thank you, brother."

Li Ye thanked the passerby, then turned and left.

……

Time flies by like a horse.

Summer goes and autumn comes, and autumn goes to winter solstice.

In the courtyard, heavy snow fell.

In the past six months, Li Ye no longer simply chopped wood, but also started to help Master Dahan make some wooden utensils. Occasionally, he would use the skills learned from Grandma Xie to make some small puppets to practice his hands, and to comprehend from all aspects. See my true self.

Inside the house, a stove has been set up.

Li Ye had already put on his padded jacket, and in front of him was the puppet butterfly.

Beside Li Ye, who possesses the art of controlling spirits, after half a year of baptism, the power of the butterfly itself has become stronger, and it can already attract some nearby scattered spirits with malicious intentions. However, under Li Ye's control, Under the spirit technique, these scattered spirits never returned, and some even turned into nourishment for flowers and butterflies.

"Why don't we take the initiative to hunt some scattered spirits?"

Looking at Li Ye who was warming up in front of the stove, Hua Die was a little far away.

She didn't address Li Ye deliberately, because whenever she spoke, the only person she spoke to was Li Ye.

"It's time-consuming and labor-intensive, and I don't know if I can hunt loose spirits suitable for you to devour, so there's no need at all..."

Li Ye took a breath of heat and continued: "Moreover, do you think that as long as I master the art of controlling spirits, I will be invincible? If there are thousands of scattered spirits swarming up, you and I will be stunned."

Huadie let out an "oh", and then hid herself in the cupboard.

For the past six months, the cabinet has been her exclusive room.

bang bang bang!
There was a knock on Li Ye's door.

"Brother Gouzi!"

It was the voice of a child, that is, about seven or eight years old.

"Oh?"

There was a look of expectation in Li Ye's eyes, and he hurriedly opened the door.

Sure enough, a little boy wrapped in a big cotton-padded jacket stood in front of Li Ye's door, his face turned red from the cold.

"Come in."

Li Ye led the little boy into the house and let him warm up by the stove.

"Brother Gouzi, you have confirmed what I have been paying attention to for the past half month."

The little boy said to Li Ye while warming himself by the fire, his tone seemed to be asking for credit.

"really."

Li Ye smiled.

At that time, the puppet master said that he would come here again in the winter to perform a performance. Li Ye was afraid of missing it, so he found a well-informed kid who was playing around to keep an eye on this matter.

"It is said that the puppet master will come back tonight to perform the scene owed half a year ago, and the location is still in the neighboring county."

The little boy grinned.

"Thank you very much."

Li Ye got up and took some broken silver from the money bag next to the pillow. There were not many broken silver, but for the little boy, it could already be regarded as a huge sum of money.

But when Li Ye handed the broken silver to the little boy, the little boy directly refused.

"My mother said, you can't take other people's money."

The little boy shook his head like a rattle, and his expression was very determined.

Li Ye found it funny, shook his head, and took out a paper bag of candy from the side of the pillow.

The candies in this world are not comparable to the earth, but even so, the little boy's eyes lit up the moment he took them out.

"this is for you."

Li Ye said with a smile.

"This……"

The little boy scratched the back of his head hard and wanted to refuse, but he couldn't say anything and his face turned red from holding back.

"Take it, you are doing me a favor, I will give you candy, it is a matter of course."

Li Ye directly put the candy into the little boy's hand.

Seeing this, the little boy was very embarrassed. He grabbed the sugar bag and said in a low voice, "Thank you, Brother Gouzi."

"Brother Gouzi, I'm leaving, I want to share the candy with San Yazi and Er Fatty..."

The little boy grinned, showing his half-teeth.

"Go."

Li Ye waved his hand.

"Whenever you need my help, remember to call me."

The little boy ran out of the room with a smile, and closed the door for Li Ye by the way.

"Are you coming tonight..."

Li Ye whispered to himself, with a look of anticipation in his eyes.

The final mission link that has been waiting for is about to start.

"So, are you ready to go now?"

The cupboard opened, and Hua Die came out from it.

She heard clearly the conversation between the little boy and Li Ye just now.

Having accompanied Li Ye for the past six months, she knew that Li Ye had an inexplicable obsession with the master who manipulated the puppet in the red shirt, but Huadie didn't know why.At first she thought that Li Ye was admiring the puppet master, but later found that it didn't seem to be the case.

"After waiting for half a year, of course I can't miss it."

Li Ye took out a large piece of burlap from the cupboard and wrapped it around Huadie's body.

Hua Die's appearance is too amazing, so when Li Ye wants to take Hua Die out, he has to wrap her tightly.

For Li Ye, in this dungeon that has lost its extraordinary power, the butterfly that can be manipulated by the technique of controlling the spirit is his weapon.

After tying up the butterfly tightly, Li Ye tied it to his back with a rope.

He put out the stove and closed the door.

Footprints were left on the snow on the ground.

Flying snow flutters.

……

It was snowing in the cold winter, and the ground was slippery and difficult to walk. What was supposed to be an hour and a half journey turned into two hours.

Because he left early, Li Ye was not late.

As soon as he came to the neighboring county, Li Ye saw figures walking towards the center of the county.

Most of them are dragging their children and taking care of their daughters, and there are also some elderly people.

From their conversation, Li Ye could know that these people came here for the puppet show.

Li Ye didn't need to ask for directions anymore, he could just follow the crowd.

Somewhere in the center of the county.

A tall table was set up, and on the edge of the table, wooden shelves were everywhere, with red lanterns hanging on it, against the snow, giving people a feeling of Chinese New Year.

These are all jointly built by the local theater buildings, and have nothing to do with the old puppet show.

"Then why isn't the master here yet?"

"Maybe it's a snowy night, the journey is slow..."

"..."

After a while, the stage was crowded with people.

Even some rich and noble families were waiting in front of the stage by servants holding umbrellas and wrapping them in leather clothes.

Li Ye came early, so he stood relatively near the front.

Among these people, he is the one who looks forward to the most.

"coming!"

Suddenly, someone shouted loudly.

All eyes looked along the stage.

　Thank you Brother Xiaoyou for your reward~
