The rules of survival of the magic stick

Tang Su was a little surprised, he couldn't believe that the little shadow puppet in front of him was the girl he met back then.

That little girl who was dirty but had a strange light in her eyes.

"You, how did you become like this? How...how did you become a puppet puppet?" Tang Su felt even more bitter in his heart. It turned out that this little girl was made by these shadow puppets after she parted from him. Many people were captured, experienced all kinds of pain and turned into shadow puppets, which became a tool for them to satisfy their desires.

If he had known that she would end up like this now, he might as well have promised to take her with him all the time, even if he didn't have enough food and clothing to stay with him, but she wouldn't be like this anyway.

But the little shadow puppet didn't seem to notice Tang Su's inner thoughts at all. Instead, she remembered Tang Su, not to mention how excited she was. She didn't seem to blame Tang Su for not taking her with her at that time.

After her excitement passed, she cleaned up the expression on her face and began to talk about her experience.

It turned out that not long after Tang Su left, these shadow puppets came here. She knew that these shadow puppets were not good people, because she knew that these people were always looking for unwanted people in the streets and alleys. Children, and once these children are taken away by them, they will never appear again.

From then on, whenever these people appeared, she deliberately avoided them, but after all, she still couldn't escape their claws, but fortunately she still had the things Tang Su bought her, and these things supported her There was that most difficult time, every time she felt uncomfortable, she would take out a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake from her pocket, the sweet and greasy taste melted in her mouth, every time she ate it, he thought it was The best osmanthus cake in the world.

Later, she became such a shadow puppet.

Tang Su suddenly remembered that the scriptures he read when he was a child did not say that the shadow puppet can still maintain his memory and emotions, let alone talk.

This little shadow puppet that can only think, talk and have feelings is really suffocating.

Tang Su asked her: "Did I remember wrongly? All your shadow puppets can talk?"

She shook her head: "I don't know, anyway, the others never speak, but I can speak since I was made, I am afraid that I will become different from them and be noticed by the master, so I have never spoken , I was so excited to see you today, that's why I spoke."

"Then what's the matter with your memory? Don't ordinary little shadow puppets have no memory?" Tang Su still felt very strange.

"I still don't know, I'm thinking maybe it's because of the sweet-scented osmanthus cakes you gave me, big brother. I eat it once a day and miss you once a day. When I'm in pain every day, I will think of you and think of the osmanthus cakes you gave me. Buy sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, and then I only remember you and sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, and I am the same now, I only remember you, and I don’t remember anything else.”

Tang Su stared at the shadow puppet for a while, then suddenly touched her hand with his hand, and then said to her in a slightly sad tone: "I'm sorry, little girl, I didn't take you with me at that time, Otherwise, you wouldn't be what you are now."

The little shadow puppet immediately shook his head: "Brother Tang Su, I don't blame you, I have always been very grateful to you, if it weren't for you, I might have become such a shadow puppet without even tasting the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and if it weren't for you If you send me these things, it is impossible for me to have any memory at all, and I will become like them."

The little shadow puppet paused, and then said: "Actually, I should thank you, Brother Tang Su."

Tang Su felt a sense of guilt when she called her, recalling that a girl who looked so juicy before had changed into such an appearance in a blink of an eye, and felt uncomfortable.

He slammed his hands down hard on the ground.

The little shadow puppet continued: "Brother Tang Su, don't hurt yourself like this. I saved your life. Don't disappoint my good intentions."

Tang Su was taken aback for a moment, and the face staring at the floor suddenly lifted up.

"what?"

The little shadow puppet patted Tang Su's hand on the ground with his little leather hand.

The cold little leather hand, but Tang Su felt that he was made to cry.

"Brother Tang Su, do you still remember that you were attacked by a hidden weapon in the underground palace where you were ambushed just now?" The little shadow puppet's voice was extremely soft and cute.

Tang Su recalled that time, he did see a flashing shadow puppet on the wall.

"That's you?" Tang Su was a little surprised.

"Yes, I was afraid that you would be injured by these hidden weapons, so I deliberately changed the position of the hidden weapons to prevent you from being accidentally injured by these things."

Tang Su recalled the dark arrow that flew past his waist. It turned out that this dark arrow was originally intended to kill himself. Fortunately, there was this little shadow puppet, otherwise he might really have stopped today. This is it.

Tang Su bent down, took the little shadow puppet's hand, and said softly, "Thank you."

After a while, Tang Su asked the little shadow puppet again: "Is there any way for you to change back so that you don't have to be trapped in such a skin all the time?"

The little shadow puppet shook his head, I don't know, if I knew, I would have done it a long time ago, why did I wait until now?

Tang Su sighed, and said to her: "I will help you pay attention, if there is a chance, I will definitely help you."

The little shadow puppet smiled happily: "Thank you, Brother Tang Su, I knew you were a good person, but now I feel that I am pretty good in this way, at least I am not like other shadow puppets who have no emotions or thoughts. Now I can still do what I want to do according to my own wishes."

Tang Su didn't know what it was like, such a child could have such a clear mind, and he sometimes couldn't figure out some small things, and now such a comparison is really inappropriate.

Tang Su saw that it was a small shadow puppet standing on the ground talking loudly, but he had to get down to hear what it said, so he stretched out his hand and said to it: "You walk along my path. Put your hand on my shoulder so we can talk."

The little shadow puppet was very excited and kept shouting: "Brother Tang Su, you are so kind!"

This made Tang Su a little embarrassed, but he was still very happy.

The little shadow puppet immediately took his own small steps, and climbed up Tang Su's shoulder from Tang Su's hand extended to the ground. His small steps stepped on Tang Su's hand, like tickling.
