Love from the Male Protagonist's Harem

Every day of begging means that Xia Ge returns with a full load, but Ye Ze has nothing in his hand.

It was half a month in a flash.

"Today is a good day."

Xia Ge had the dog's tail grass in his mouth, "Look at the lanterns and festoons over there...why is Xiao Zezi so arrogant?"

Ye Ze didn't bother to talk to her, he gnawed on his steamed bun earnestly.

Ye Ze has always been begging alone, but since Xia Ge came, it became two people together for no reason.

He was not used to it, so he didn't have a good look at Xia Ge.

The lights and festoons over there are really lively, Xia Ge likes to join in the fun, so he pulled him up, "Let's go and find out."

Ye Ze glared at her, "You have too many things to do, you go by yourself, I won't go."

Xia Ge is sorry.

It's so lively, it looks like someone's daughter is getting married, maybe you can get a piece of wedding candy.

Passers-by were also chatting.

"Whose daughter is getting married?"

Xia Ge suddenly pricked up his ears, dropped Ye Ze who was unwilling to move, and followed step by step as if passing by.

"Hey, what is married, it's the Chu family... Do you know the Chang'an Chu family?"

The spectators gasped when they heard the words, "The Chu family? Is this a branch of the Chang'an Chu family?"

Xia Ge raised his head and looked, ho, that's right, there were lanterns, festoons and firecrackers flying, and the plaque on the door was flying like dragons and phoenixes, and the words "Chu Mansion" were written in a magnificent manner.

Chang'an... The Chu family?

"That's the family." Someone next to him nodded, "The concubine daughter of my family has become the eldest daughter, such a big event, really needs to be decorated."

"Huh? What does that mean?"

A concubine becomes a concubine?Not to marry a daughter?

No candy to grab.

Xia Ge suddenly lost all enthusiasm, and continued to listen without interest. While listening, she looked around to see if there was any target for her to ask for something to eat by the way.

"I heard that it was because of the death of the main wife of the Patriarch that the concubine was brought up to be the main wife..."

"Dead? How did you die?"

"It is said that he died of illness, who knows."

"Huh? Then someone died just now... just a few days ago, this lantern festoon is a bit...not appropriate?"

"This is to celebrate the birth of the new eldest daughter. The funeral of the first wife has been going on for several days." The man said, and the conversation was sparked again, and he said mysteriously, "It is said that the first wife is a little crazy. , although it was said to the outside world that he died of illness, but I don't believe it, I have a friend who works in Chang'an, and I heard that when the wife died, it was really miserable... Both eyes were gouged out, and blood was all over her body..."

Hearing this, the listener gasped, "So scary?!"

"It's also a rumor, a rumor." The man couldn't help but sigh after finishing speaking, "Oh, but it's also true...Because the daughter she gave birth was not favored by her father, she ended up in such a miserable end, it's a pity."

The other person also shook his head when he heard the words, then looked at the lights and festoons, and sighed, "After you sing, I will appear on the stage. This wealthy family really can't look at the appearance."

People in the world only look at the prosperity on the surface, which is enviable, but who knows how many nameless dead bones are buried underneath.

"A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. After all, the Chu family is a royal family that once conquered the world." The person who spoke laughed, "It's not surprising that this happened."

Xia Ge also felt a little bit sad when she heard the end. She has really seen what it means that a mother is more expensive than a child.

But it seems that it has nothing to do with her filling her stomach directly...

It's not about my daughter getting married, or sending out wedding candies, but simply celebrating, which is really boring.

There seems to be a beautiful young lady over there... Acting like a baby to ask for something to eat.

Xia Ge threw Ye Ze aside and Sa Huaner ran away.

Well, Ye Zejin's thighs with arms and legs can get steamed buns anyway.

System: "Host, your task..."

Xia Ge: "Huh?"

It was only then that she remembered that she still had the task of becoming Ye Ze's trusted little partner.

Half a month, no progress, almost forgotten.

"Hey... the golden thighs are too stubborn." Xia Ge took a bite of the pastry he begged from the little sister, and sighed, "Let him trust you wholeheartedly? It's too difficult, too difficult, it can't be done."

system:"……"

The system thought for a while, and said temptingly: "The reward is that you can learn very powerful lightness skills! At that time, you can go wherever you want, and run as high as you want!"

Xia Ge was a little shaken in his heart. Although he was not happy with the system's tone of coaxing children, it was true that he was too talented.

But thinking of Ye Ze's temper, Xia Ge still shook his head pragmatically, "It can't be done."

Not a relative, but expecting a child who has been exterminated to believe in others wholeheartedly?

Ye Ze was a little naive, but not stupid.

"Can't you lower your requirements?" Xia Ge thought for a while, then tapped his hand, "How about this, as long as he says he trusts me, you can reward me?"

System: "No..." How can you be so shameless.

Xia Ge said bluntly, "Or don't do it."

What kind of light work is it? It’s a big deal not to learn it.

The system felt Xia Ge's indifference—it really felt indifference.

It doesn't matter whether you hug your thigh or not, it doesn't matter whether you learn light work or not, as long as you can eat well and feel happy, you can get by and get by.

If you say no, it's true - don't do it.

Those with bare feet are not afraid of wearing shoes.

The system thought over and over again, and finally reluctantly agreed to her request, but he was not reconciled to her being too relaxed, and added: "But he must believe you when he says this!"

"whatever."

She wasn't going to do it anyway.

Xia Ge clapped his hands after eating the pastry, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Hey young lady over there, your hairpin is so pretty—"

system:"……"

You go back and look for the golden thigh! !

Here, after Ye Ze finished biting the steamed bun, Xia Ge disappeared as soon as he raised his head.

Ye Ze: "..."

That unreliable brat!

Depressedly, he clapped his hands and stood up, took a long look at the lanterns and festoons of the Chu Mansion, snorted, and said in a low voice, "I don't know."

After finishing speaking, he couldn't help but look a few more times.

Once upon a time, the Ye family was like this...

Ye Ze withdrew his thoughts and was about to leave when he suddenly heard a piercing scream!

"Ah—a puppet! There is a puppet!!"

Ye Ze was taken aback, and the next moment, a person rushed out of the alley on the right——

No, not people.

It's just that it looks like a human being.

The green clothes it was wearing seemed to be a woman, with a painfully black demonic energy spreading across her face. Finally, the demonic energy condensed and spread over her body. The light green clothes were slowly stained black by the demonic energy. The devilish energy lingered like a night, turning the clothes into a black cloak. The material of her face seemed to be some kind of metal. With the spread of the devilish energy, the metal face gradually turned into a ferocious bronze mask. Extremely fast, running from one alley to another, the moment he passed by Ye Ze——

Ye Ze saw the tears overflowing from the corners of its eyes under its bronze mask.

Tears slid across the cheeks covered by the magic energy, and fell on Ye Ze's face a second before the bronze mask was formed.

ice cold.

"Watch out - it caught a child!!"

"Oh my God!!"

A glimpse of the foreground and the world spinning, Ye Ze realized belatedly that he was caught!

However, I can't care less.

The demonized puppet quickly threw off all those who were chasing it.

Ye Ze opened his eyes, looking at the ferocious bronze mask above his head, and the pitch-black cloak that was transformed by demonic energy.The scene of that night unfolded like a nightmare.

...It's the same... Demonized puppets.

ruined his home.

took everything from him.

——Why is there such a thing as a puppet in this world.

Why did those puppet masters make them... they made them, and why did they indulge them so wantonly to destroy everything else? ! !

Why! ! ? !

Why make people so painful! ! !

Ye Ze opened his eyes wide, and almost instinctively wanted to reach out and grab the demonized puppet's neck——

He's going to kill these puppets!

He wants to avenge the more than 200 members of his Ye family who died unjustly! ! !

Why should they take everything from him—

However, in the next second, his hand was slapped away, his neck was pinched by the demonized puppet, and he gradually couldn't breathe.

The puppet's eyes used to be black and white, but now they slowly turned bloody.

For puppets that are completely demonized, some eyes will turn red.

Lost the last sanity.

—Are you going to die?

Dying... eh.

Didn't get anything done...was about to die.

Not reconciled——

So unwilling!

Ye Ze was about to be strangled to death over there, and Xia Ge was eating and drinking enough, squatting in the corner to count the copper coins he had begged for in the past half month, thinking about whether it would be enough to change her shoes, but a gust of wind blew by , the dull hair on the top of her head that she hadn't had time to smooth out shook, and a black shadow rushed past her eyes.

Xia Ge couldn't catch up: "This man runs really fast..."

But the alley he entered seems to be a dead end, wait, why does the person in his arms look so familiar... Huh? !

The next moment, there was the sharp sound of the system! !

【Notice! !Urgent task! !Save the Destiny Child! ! !Save him before he dies! ! 】

Xia Ge's brain went numb from the sound, and what flashed through his mind was Ye Ze, whose neck was pinched by the man in black and his face was flushed from suffocation, his butt was on fire almost in the next second, and he moved towards the man in black. Dead Alley rushed over: "Is there a reward?!"

System: "No!"

Xia Ge: "..."

System: "This is an accident, I can't control it, but I can put water in the previous task rewards... If you can make him believe that you can do one thing wholeheartedly, there will be rewards!"

...what a mess.

[Skill Reward: One Hit Must Hit! 】

In fact, Xia Ge just asked casually. He had already rushed to the alley and braked!

"You stop me!"

The voice is loud and full of momentum!

The hand of the demonized puppet pinching Ye Ze's neck trembled slightly, the redness in his eyes dissipated slightly, he turned his head in a daze, and looked at Xia Ge.

The system inspected it and confirmed: "This is a puppet that has just been demonized!"

As soon as Xia Ge saw the terrifying bronze mask of the evil ghost, he faltered instantly. Then he looked at the tall, spooky puppet, and then thought that he ran over to show off his abilities without knowing anything, and his intestines turned green with regret.

What the hell is this demonized softly demonized just now? It's so scary! !

It's as if she really has a way to save people, why did she rush out without thinking? !

System: "Good shout! You scared it!"

Ye Ze, who was freed from the puppet's grasp, had a blurred vision, was strangled by the neck and led away, dizzy from excessive hypoxia, almost made him unable to see clearly.

Who was yelling just now?

Is it someone who came to save him?

He doesn't want to die...he can't die...he wants revenge!How could he just die here!

Anyway...

Xia Ge silently took a step back, "I think... this, I should call someone to be more rational, haha..."

She has slender arms and legs, so her strength is a little stronger than ordinary people. She is really not capable of fighting something that is neither human nor ghost!

It's like LV0 vs. LV101!

The system yelled: "When you call someone over, the day lily will be cold!! It's so cold!!"

"Don't be cowardly, go! You can do it!"

Xia Ge: "Fucking knows how to howl, you can do it!!"

System: "I let you go because I can't do it!"

Xia Ge: "..."

However, it was too late to run now.

The next second it saw Xia Ge, its red eyes, which had faded away, suddenly turned red again!

System: "Great, he's following you first!!"

It was excited: "This way I won't remember to strangle the one in my hand first! Ye Ze is saved!"

Xia Ge was almost choked to death by the system's mouthful of old blood.

Nima!I'm not a fucking human? !She is being targeted!Let it cool down too, okay? !It's so cold! !

As the system said, because it was targeting Xia Ge, the demonized puppet didn't bother to care about Ye Ze's life or death.But still holding on tightly and not letting go, he slowly walked towards Xia Ge.

Xia Ge had goosebumps from the beginning to the end, looking at Ye Ze, who was pinched too slowly, and the puppet who was slowly approaching, his whole body was stiff.

Ye Ze coughed twice, and opened his eyes in a daze. This is a dark alley with a dim light at the entrance.

——Who came to rescue him...?

Some young children stood at the entrance of the alley, staring at him in the dim light of the sun.

It's that... idiot named Xia Wuyin?

He raised his head, and vaguely saw the demonized puppet staring at Xia Wuyin in a daze, with ferocious blood in his eyes.

The demonized puppet is after him...

So let go of his neck.

For a moment, my thoughts were mixed, and a dark thought came to my mind.

Grasp the last straw...Ye Ze.

You have shouldered so much, you have to do whatever it takes to survive.

This puppet has already set its sights on that idiot named Xia Wuyin, as long as it catches Xia Wuyin, you can find a chance to escape...

——What does the life and death of others have to do with you?You just have to live!

——You are different from this grinning, clueless idiot!You are carrying more than 200 wronged souls of the Ye family! More than 200 lives, you should live, only if you live can you avenge them!

——Xia Wuyin is just a little beggar, if he dies, he dies!What's the matter with you? !

isn't it? !

"...Go." Ye Ze heard his own voice.

Xia Ge, who was desperately trying to turn her head around and run away but couldn't move because she was afraid, suddenly became stiffer. She hadn't turned around and ran, so she met Ye Ze's eyes.

The dark alleys.

Those eyes filled with tears.

Obviously full of unwillingness, anger, despair, even desperate, like a prisoner who has come to a dead end.

Tears of despair flowed, but there was an indelible gleam in his eyes.

Unwilling, but proud.

He is clearly in the dark, but he seems to be carrying the glory of daring to die rather than surrender!

The boy does not cry easily.

"Get out! I'll let you get out!! Xia Wuyin!!"

"Did you fucking hear that!!"

What started out as a weak voice almost turned into a desperate roar in the end!

The demonized puppet who was staring at Xia Ge was startled by the voice of the person in his hand, and turned his attention to him again. The next moment, Ye Ze's neck was strangled again!

The roaring stopped abruptly.

...can't breathe anymore.

Everything in front of my eyes is gradually blurred, and I can vaguely see the back of the person named Xia Wuyin staggering away.

gone.

he's gone.

——Why, obviously, I want to live.

——why...or...

In the hazy memory.

"Aze."

The middle-aged man with a stern face had a rare smile on his lips, "...you are going to become the pride of our Ye family."

——You have to become the pride of the Ye family.

Yes.

This sentence.

Only this sentence.

Engraved in my heart.

He no longer has a home.

he has nothing

He can no longer lose the pride of the Ye family!

He can't be like a despicable person, stepping on other people's lives to live...

Don't humiliate the only blood left in the Ye family!

On one side, a woman in simple clothes happened to enter the study room. After hearing what the middle-aged man said, she touched her belly and smiled softly, "Ah Ze wants to give your unborn brother, ah, it may also be your sister...to be a good example." ah."

The middle-aged man hurriedly said: "Why is Madam here... It's only been two months, slow down, slow down..."

"..."

Memories are like dreams and illusions, and the past is like smoke and dust.

...really, dying.

I'm sorry...Father, Aze is useless.

I'm sorry...mother...

At this moment, there was a "bang", and the hand holding his neck suddenly loosened!

Suddenly exposed to fresh air, Ye Ze coughed crazily, almost dying!

——Why did you let go?

He raised his head, only to find that the mask of the demonized puppet and the left half of his head were dented by a fist-sized stone, and the stone shook on the ground, proving his existence.

Not far away, the young boy against the light was panting, and there was a stone of about the same size in his hand. He stared at him, saying every word.

"Say, you... believe me."

Didn't he run away just now? !Why are you still here? !

Believe it or not? !You run away!

Ye Ze opened his eyes wide, "...Run! I told you to run, did you fucking hear—"

The demonized puppet was enraged!Pulling Ye Ze, he rushed towards Xia Ge!

Xia Ge was terrified, her feet were trembling with fear, and she had never been so afraid in the past 20 years plus this life.

Facing the fear of death.

But... no regrets.

It was the first time she saw such a person.

Even if it is so painful, unwilling, and desperate.

It can also be so proud, with eyes full of glory.

Fascinated.

She felt she could save this man.

Not because of the system, not because of the task, but I just feel that this person is worth it.

"Say you believe me!!!"

Xia Ge pinched the stone, stared at Ye Ze's eyes, and hissed, "Ye Ze! You believe me!!!"

"Just say you trust me... trust me!"

Trust me I can save you!

The demonized puppet was getting closer and closer, and it started to punch Xia Ge's head straight!

Xia Ge was so frightened that she almost shed tears.

But he said he would not cry.

Fist wind, close at hand——

Ye Ze's voice was almost roaring——

"I believe in you!!! Get out!"

Anyway... let him be a hero before he dies!

【Ding!mission completed!Congratulations to the host for becoming Ye Ze's trusted partner! 】

[——Acquire bonus skills, ghost shadows! 】

The next moment, the demonized puppet was empty, and the young boy holding the stone suddenly disappeared. The puppet's fist fell into the empty space, and finally hit the wall hard, with a "boom", it was born on the stone wall There's a big hole in it!

If this hits a person's head, one can imagine it!

Ye Ze's mind was also empty.

What about people...?

very light.

As if it was about to fly.

The demonized puppet felt that something was wrong, so he turned around suddenly, and whoever was facing a stone hit his head on the head, became dizzy, loosened his hand slightly, and Ye Ze, who was being held by his hand, was pulled away!

Xia Ge was as light as a swallow, snatched Ye Ze from it and ran away, but she had just obtained lightness kung fu, and she was a little staggering when using it, and the demonized puppet was not a fuel-efficient lamp, the mask on her face was crooked After twisting and turning, although he was a little dizzy, he pulled the clothes on Xia Ge's shoulders with his bare hands!

Ye Ze was still in a daze in the state of "I seem to have been rescued".

Xia Ge was so pulled that he couldn't move, and seeing that he was about to be pulled away by the puppet, he gritted his teeth, went up and slapped Ye Ze to bring him back to his senses, and grabbed his shoulders to prevent himself from being pulled away, with a hideous look on his face, " Say you believe that I can save you!!!"

--Believe me!

Believe me wholeheartedly, wholeheartedly! !

The young boy in front of him pinched his shoulders, his whole body seemed to be ripped away, Ye Ze was slapped back to his senses, looking into Xia Ge's eyes——

This little boy is like a shining light.

Those eyes were like burning flames.

A person who can have these eyes, why is it rare for him?

Like a ghost, Ye Ze murmured——

"I believe you."

whole-heartedly.

Believe you can do it!

Ye Ze opened his eyes wide, and said every word with absolute conviction——

"I believe you!"

——In this way, it counts as being saved, right? !In this way, it is regarded as the completion of "wholehearted" belief, right? !

【Ding!mission accomplished!Congratulations to the host for acquiring the skill—one hit is sure to hit! 】

[Skill Explanation: As long as you have a goal in mind, give it a starting force, no matter where the direction is, it will reach the goal in your heart like Cupid's arrow!Come on! 】

Cupid, the god of love, is such a playful thing! !I just want to survive now!

The next moment, Xia Ge, whose clothes were grabbed by his shoulders, lifted his foot and kicked the stone that fell on the ground before——

God of rain!

[One hit must hit! 】

The clothes on the shoulders were torn apart by the demonized puppet!The next moment, the stone that was kicked towards Ye Ze's face made a 180-degree turn in the air, and hit the demonized puppet hard on the face!

The demonized puppet shook and let go.

Xia Ge didn't care about pulling his clothes, dragged Ye Ze who hadn't recovered from "How can a stone turn a corner" and ran away, "You are still fucking dumb!! Run!"

Run away in embarrassment.

Xia Ge unconsciously turned on Ghost Shadow and ran at an inhuman speed. Ye Ze was pinched so dizzy that he lost his strength and staggered. He raised his head and wanted to say something, but a pink butterfly suddenly came into view.

Perched on a sleek shoulder, a tiny, pink butterfly.

It was Xia Wuyin's shoulders that were torn from his clothes by the demonized puppet before.

Ye Ze didn't say anything at the end, and let him drag him away.

The two ran all the way out of town.

Both Xia Ge and Ye Ze felt that they were dying.

After the catastrophe, Xia Ge took a breath, and then pulled Ye Ze's skirt, with a ferocious expression on his face, showing his true colors, "I, I'll tell you, brat... you will give me, be honest, Don't, don't run around for me..."

Ye Ze muttered three words: "..."

Xia Ge didn't hear clearly, "What did you say?"

Ye Ze: "...sissy."

Sissy with butterflies on her shoulders.

Xia Ge: "..."

I am grass.

==

Xia Ge thinks that the old beggar is a wise man.

For example, he can accurately kill a mosquito with a fan every day.

Steady and ruthless.

Xia Ge can't do it.

Because there are no mosquitoes to bite her.

Well this is a bad joke.

The first task of the system, after she has completed it, although it is really a matter of life and death, but fortunately...is it worth it?

In other words, she is now Ye Ze's little partner, oh, the little partner of Long Aotian with golden thighs, it sounds a bit nasty.

There are also skills, ghost shadows and one hit.

Very useful Qinggong... hmm.

Although sometimes I couldn't control my wrestling, but fortunately there was no accident at that time.

The night is getting a little darker tonight.

After Ye Ze's little friend called her a sissy, he was not finished. After returning, he was full of worries, and the way he avoided her like a snake was really sad.

Xia Ge routinely closed his eyes outside, who knew that after a while, he opened them again.

Xia Ge couldn't fall asleep, and thought of the tall puppet wearing a mask and a black cloak during the day.

The system told her that it was a demonized puppet.

It's not fun.

Xia Ge vaguely remembered that the demonized puppets seemed to be cannon fodder in the book.

No matter how cannon fodder, it also belongs to the villain camp.

She is a three-none who has nothing to do with the villain... Oh no, a top ten boy.

The system explained to her the reason why the demonized puppet was formed.

"Oh... you mean, it turned out to be a good puppet, and it could even be a normal person... ten years later, it will be demonized and hurt people?" Xia Ge clicked his tongue, "Today, that puppet was just demonized, so he was killed by Ye Ze bumped into?"

System: "That's right."

Xia Ge: "As expected of the protagonist's accident system..."

Suffocating.

The night wind is a bit cool.

System: "Although it's not very good to say this, you must also remember that in the future... no, you will soon be a puppet master."

Xia Ge: "Oh..."

system:"……"

System: "Those bad things are made by puppet masters."

Xia Ge: "Oh."

System: "But don't worry, I am the puppet system, and I will make you the most powerful puppet master that no one has to be afraid of!"

Xia Ge asked suddenly.

"Become the most powerful puppet master, can I go home?"

system:"……"

"Can?"

System: "Maybe... I don't know either."

Xia Ge: "How can you not know?"

System: "Something happened..."

System: "However, if you become the most powerful puppeteer, you may be able to shatter the void and go wherever you want."

in case.

Maybe.

Damn not sure.

Xia Ge raised his head and looked at the stars in the sky.

She has always been a lazy person.

If you don't want to do it, you won't do it in the first place.But if you do, you will stick to it.

will not look back.

She doesn't like to give up halfway.

So think about the puppet master again.

Just as he was thinking, Xia Ge raised his head and vaguely saw a figure under the tree.

The man was holding a cattail fan and fanning it back and forth. He was an acquaintance.

After a while, the old beggar waved to her.

If you don't go to bed so late, don't the elderly have to keep in good health?

Xia Ge thought about it and passed.

The old beggar was sitting under the willow tree, squinting his eyes, playing the fan, basking in the moonlight, as if he was very bored, "Little baby, what's your name?"

Xia Ge tilted his head, "Xia Wu..."

The old beggar waved his fan and smiled, "Real name, real name."

Xia Ge opened his eyes and said nonsense, "It's Xia Wuyin."

The old beggar sighed, "What do you have to hide from me, an old man with half a foot in, who is lying and who is not, I can tell at a glance."

Xia Ge: "..."

Why does she stay up most of the night chatting with an old man.

"Hey, everyone has their own difficulties. If you don't say it, it has nothing to do with the old man." The old beggar slapped his fan and paused, "The old man is just afraid that you will hold back for too long and even forget your real name."

……none of your business.

Xia Ge thought.

The old man fanned the palm-leaf fan, and the faint moonlight reflected in his cloudy eyes, "I have seen many children like you."

"I thought I was smart, but my cleverness turned out to be misunderstood by my cleverness. The mouse box hit my foot, and I screamed in pain."

Xia Ge: "...No way."

This metaphor is really vivid and suffocating.

"Whether it will or not, it's not up to you."

The old beggar was not so much commenting on Xia Ge as he was reminiscing about the past, with a pair of cloudy eyes looking through the flying willow branches, "It depends on fate."

after awhile.

The sound of cicadas is very loud, accompanied by the sound of frogs.

Xia Ge heard his low voice.

"My name is Xia Ge."

She looked up at the old man, as if to prove something, "Summer in summer, singing songs."

Will it be so painful that I will put it aside for the time being.

How could she forget her own name.

==

The next day.

Ye Ze seemed to be quarreling yesterday, but when Xia Ge got up today, he unexpectedly saw him standing beside him.

"..."

After spending the whole night under the willow tree, after stretching, Xia Ge was startled when he saw the shadow around him.

"Let's go." Ye Ze looked a little awkward, "...I heard that the owner of the puppet was caught yesterday."

The owner of the puppet... the puppet master?

Xia Ge was taken aback, "Ah, is that so?"

She smiled, "Then let's go and have a look."

The two set off.

The small town was unexpectedly lively today.

Because there are uncommon sights.

A woman in a gray prison uniform was locked in a wooden cage with heavy shackles on her body.

Xia Ge was not tall enough to see, so Ye Ze dragged her to the front.

People around were outraged.

"How can you make such a terrible thing!!"

"My god...it's simply going against the sky."

"Puppetry has been banned for so many years..."

"Oh, I'm also a miserable person..."

"..."

The two followed the prison van, and Xia Ge heard many rumors along the way.

For example, the demonized puppet yesterday was the dead wife of the puppet master, named Cui Zhu.

Cui Zhu is a lady of every family, and her body has always been weak. On the Qiqiao Festival, she meets A Lan, a puppet master who wanders into the town.

love at first sight.

Do not marry unless you are a king.

It's a romantic but sad story.

For Cuizhu, Alan gave up her career as a puppet master and took a job. Coupled with the savings she had saved as a puppet master before to continue her life, her life was considered satisfactory.

It's just that Cuizhu married a woman, was rumored and criticized, and her health was not good. Coupled with the quarrel with her family, she was angry for a while, and her illness relapsed. She held A Lan's hand and died in depression.

As a puppet master, Ah Lan has saved the lives of countless people, thugs, deserters, wealthy people who oppress the common people, vicious, disgusting and greedy people.

Most damned.

She can give them another ten years of life in the world.

Why can't Alan love Cuizhu?

Alan loves Cuizhu.

So she regained the puppet technique and gave Cui Zhu another ten years of life.

Yesterday, it was the ten-year period.

Xia Ge raised his eyes and looked at the woman in the cage with no expression on her face.

Her complexion is haggard and her hair is dyed with hoarfrost, but looking closely at her eyebrows and eyes, one can see the beauty and elegance of the past.

"Snapped"

A rotten egg hit her in the face.

"How could you make something so insane!"

Someone was hugging the child and cursing, cursing and cursing, shedding tears, "My son is dead, do you know!! My son! He was strangled to death by that ghost!!"

When Xia Ge turned around, he noticed that the child in that person's arms was really dead.

A child of three or four years old with a blue neck and closed eyes.

Xia Ge suddenly felt cold all over.

She dragged Ye Ze away yesterday.

The demonized puppet remained.

So... have you gone to kill again?

"Damn her."

Ye Ze suddenly spoke.

"……what?"

Xia Ge was taken aback.

Because there were so many people, he was afraid of being separated, so he pinched Xia Ge's wrist. The nine-year-old child had a firm expression on his face. He pointed at the woman in the cage and repeated, "She should die."

"Why?" Xia Ge asked with a smile.

Ye Ze looked at the woman wearing shackles, "Because she is a puppet master."

"So, damn it."

Word by word, extremely firm.

I don't know why, but Xia Ge's body is not only cold, but his heart is also a little cold.

What the system said yesterday still rings in my ears.

——You will become the most powerful puppeteer.

"Ah... Really." Xia Ge smiled, "Maybe... Well, I mean, I think so too."

After a pause, "But this woman is also a poor person."

Ye Ze pointed to the child not far away, stared at Xia Ge, and asked, "Isn't that child pitiful?"

Xia Ge's throat seemed to be stuck with a ball of cotton, which was suffocated.

This scene is like half a month ago, when she gave Aaron a hard lesson, took back her steamed buns, and asked Ye Ze if the person whose steamed buns were robbed was not pitiful.

Only, this time, the roles were reversed.

Xia Ge thought belatedly.

Who is a saint?

In fact, the roles were reversed.

We all look the same.

Always subconsciously lean towards the side that is beneficial to you.

Because Xia Ge might become a puppet master, she sympathized with the other party and felt sorry for her.

But the child who died because of that puppet master.

The same is very poor.

And Ye Ze was the same at that time, he just felt that Aaron was miserable, because he got closer, because he knew that Aaron was indeed miserable.

And she was just a stranger to Ye Ze at that time.

So Ye Ze instinctively favored Aaron.

Even if he did something wrong.

People's hearts are all biased, and no one is more noble than the other.

Why would she teach others a lesson from above.

The woman was pushed to the stake.

The person who opened the cage roughly pulled her out, tied her to the torture rack, and then placed a circle of firewood. From the beginning to the end, the expression of the woman named Alan remained numb.

Xia Ge's eyes widened: "...to be burned at the stake?"

Ye Ze: "Of course it will be burned at the stake. She did something wrong, shouldn't she be severely punished?"

Xia Ge wanted to say something, but it was bustling there for a while, she looked up and saw a few old people and a few young people beside them, men and women, and some were holding children.

They were smashed with rotten egg and vegetable leaves, and people were cursing them desperately, expressing their anger and disgust.

Xia Ge didn't know why, but suddenly she didn't want to talk to Ye Ze. She tugged on the sleeves of one person, showing her usual pitiful appearance, "Those people... who are they?"

"Where is the child..." The person who was caught was taken aback for a moment, then saw Xia Ge's attire, and frowned in disgust, "Little beggar."

"Can you tell me?" Xia Ge laughed.

Watery eyes, sweet, seem to be talking.

The man paused, his voice softened slightly, "You know about this man, right?"

Xia Ge nodded obediently, "I know, she is a bad woman who is a puppet. I heard a lot of rumors about her along the way."

"Then do you know her wife?" The man said disdainfully, "It's that trash who has to live on after death."

It must be the person named Cui Zhu.

He raised his chin in that direction, "That's the trash's mother's family."

Xia Ge looked at the group of people who were silent and cursed by the world, and the smile on their faces suddenly couldn't hold on.

...just because of a little relationship with the puppeteer.

It is necessary to bear such criticism and disgust.

"...This matter has nothing to do with them, does it?" Xia Ge tried to put on an innocent expression, "They didn't kill anyone, why did they do that?"

How could it not matter.

Of course there is a relationship, a big relationship.

But Xia Ge really wanted to ask.

"Because they are the puppet master's in-laws!" The man said as a matter of course, "Surely you know she is the puppet master, right?! Being related to the puppet master... What a blessing, maybe I can ask for help before I die. Lived for ten years—I don’t know how many people will die under their hands after ten years!”

With a sarcasm, "Even if it doesn't happen like this, what kind of shame do you have for letting your daughter marry a puppeteer!"

"Such rubbish, why don't you die?"

Xia Ge grabbed his hand at the corner of his clothes, but he didn't know when he let go.

She raised her eyes and looked at the group of people.

Some even have children.

A brat picked up a stone and threw it at it, "A villain who is related to the puppet master!"

The mother who was holding the child lowered her head subconsciously to protect the child in her arms, but the stone fell on her head.

Bright red blood flowed down.

"Stop!" Xia Ge blurted out: "Someone was hurt by—"

But I heard someone laughing, "Well smashed!"

"..."

Afterwards, harsh cheers.

Like a carnival of the devil.

One of the old people finally broke down, "I have nothing to do with her!! I have nothing to do with that puppet master!! I don't have that daughter!! My daughter died long ago!! Died long ago-my daughter didn't marry a puppet Teacher, no—"

"..."

Xia Ge stood where he was, his whole body was cold.

——You will soon be a puppeteer.

Ye Ze said: "Hey...over there..."

Xia Ge looked back at the stake.

Over there, I saw that the puppet that was deformed by Xia Ge's two stones yesterday had been dismantled in a mess, and it was thrown towards the woman on the stake!

Legs, hands, masks, capes.

The expressionless woman froze for a second when she saw the puppet's body, and then burst into tears.

Heavy shouts.

Xia Ge heard her whisper of pain.

"Cuizhu..."

"sorry Sorry……"

One after another, painful and desperate.

Someone lit a fire.

The raging flames suddenly ignited!

The air began to twist.

Ye Ze stared at the flames in the distance, and suddenly thought of the puppet that fell on his face before he was captured yesterday.
