After being forced to debut in metaphysics, I became popular

When Xie Lin was welcomed into the house by Zheng Tiantian, he subconsciously looked for Zheng Shushu's figure.

Although he always felt that Zheng Tiantian was his younger sister, in his mind, Zheng Tiantian was still an underage girl. When he came to visit other people's homes, he naturally had to greet the adults at home first.

But all the lights in the yard were extinguished, and in the darkness, some silhouettes of human figures could be vaguely seen.

Xie Lin was taken aback at first, and then he remembered that these were the wooden puppets he saw in the yard when he came to visit before.

I didn't feel it when there was light, but once the light was turned off, it was really scary to be stared at by these wooden puppets.

Xie Lin was worried that Zheng Tiantian would be frightened, but when he looked over, he found that Zheng Tiantian was used to it, walking among these wooden puppets in the yard, it was as natural as an ordinary girl strolling Doll shop.

He was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile, and sighed inwardly, feeling that at such an adult, he was not as courageous as a little girl, and would be frightened by wood carvings.

Xie Lin comforted himself, this is no different from the plastic mannequins in the mall, don't be afraid, they are just dead objects.

Thinking of this, he regained his smile and asked Zheng Tiantian softly, "Where's your brother? Is he not at home?"

Zheng Tiantian looked up at Xie Lin, tilted her head and said, "Well, brother is not at home, he went out with another big brother. But brother, you didn't come to see him, did you? Didn't you come to see Tiantian Is it?"

Xie Lin's first reaction was to worry about Zheng Tiantian's safety.

"There is no adult at home, how can you open the door casually?"

Xie Lin squatted down in front of Zheng Tiantian, his eyes were at the same level as her, and he told her seriously: "What if I am a bad person? If you are injured, Tiantian, how sad your brother will be when he comes back to see you. You have to learn to protect yourself, and don't be taken away by bad guys."

Hearing that Zheng Shushu was not at home so late, Xie Lin's impression of him also fell to the bottom, and he muttered unhappily: "It's so late, leaving my sister at home alone... What an incompetent brother."

Zheng Tiantian blinked her beautiful big eyes, still holding her beloved puppet in her arms, she looked up at Zheng Shushu, nodded obediently, and said that she remembered it.

The fire in the workshop had already been extinguished, and the yard was cold and dark, like a coffin buried deep under the lake.

Zheng Tiantian walked in such an environment, but her steps were still brisk.

Wherever she walked, the wooden puppets all bowed their heads in reverence and fear.

But Xie Lin's attention was still on how to maintain balance in such darkness, he couldn't see clearly and didn't notice the movements of the wooden puppets on both sides.

When Zheng Tiantian brought Xie Lin into the living room, he was always amazed at the objects passing by.

After the initial shock, Xie Lin gradually discovered how realistic these wooden dolls that could frighten him were made, giving him the illusion that he was looking at a real person.

When he entered the living room, the ubiquitous wooden skulls and puppets made Xie Lin sigh at Zheng Shushu's superb skills as a carpenter, and at the same time feel that Zheng Shushu's hobby of aesthetics is indeed a bit unusual.

In Xie Lin's perception, the works brought about by the traditional craft of carpentry should also be more inclined to traditional aesthetics. Carving a two-dragon play bead or a statue of Guan Gong is more in line with Xie Lin's imagination.

But even so, Xie Lin still respected and appreciated Zheng Shushu's aesthetics and works after being surprised.

As the song god who created the golden age of music 20 years ago, many musicians still miss the prosperity of that year. Xie Lin's songs are still avant-garde and trendy.

His open mind and the good rest he has accumulated over the years have made him willing to respect everyone's aesthetic preferences, and he feels that Zheng Shu unexpectedly keeps up with the times and has a more rock style.

Xie Lin couldn't laugh or cry because of his own thoughts.

Zheng Tiantian was already curled up on the teacher's chair in the living room.

The little girl withdrew her dangling calf, and her thin and frail body was wrapped in a beautiful little skirt. When she curled up into a ball, it still couldn't fill the entire chair.

In the dark, she was shockingly thin.

It is as fragile as a reed that will break if it is broken.

In the world, nothing but rootless wandering.

Xie Lin's eyes were stung by this scene. While feeling sorry for Zheng Tiantian, he couldn't help complaining about Zheng Shushu.

As someone who also has a younger sister, Xie Lin couldn't see such a scene.

An impulse even surged in his heart, wanting to take Zheng Tiantian away from here.Since Zheng Shu is not a qualified elder brother, why not let him be this elder brother!

"So, brother, what are you doing here?"

Zheng Tiantian was drowsy, and said unhappily: "Brother, don't you have anything to say to Tiantian? Don't you want Tiantian?"

A strange feeling crossed Xie Lin's heart, and he always felt that Zheng Tiantian was a little too close to him.

Although he knew he was not a bad person, as a stranger, Zheng Tiantian was too defenseless towards him.

Although Xie Lin was unconsciously happy because of Zheng Tiantian's intimacy and non-estrangement attitude, he still managed to suppress the corners of his upturned mouth, and tried to persuade Zheng Tiantian with concern, wanting her not to trust others casually.

As for the sense of weirdness, Xie Lin was overwhelmed by the excitement of seeing someone similar to his sister.

Zheng Tiantian promised obediently, but curled her lips secretly, not taking Xie Lin's words seriously.

bad guy?

Zheng Tiantian tilted her head, her eyebrows were innocent and clear, and when she smiled, she was as sweet as spilled honey.

Is she bad?

No matter how bad the guy is, don't they all stand in the yard now, making a wooden sculpture that can't move?

The wooden puppet in the yard seemed to be aware of Zheng Tiantian's thoughts, and trembled in horror, and the wood collided with each other and made a small "clack" sound, which echoed in the dark and dead yard, making it even more eerie and eerie.

But Xie Lin focused all his attention on Zheng Tiantian, and didn't notice the changes around him.

"you……"

Xie Lin looked at Zheng Tiantian with complicated eyes, and after a long time of mental construction, he mustered up the courage to ask this question: "Tiantian...maybe, Tiantian, do you know a little girl? Her name is Xie Jiaojiao , looks very similar to you."

As soon as Xie Lin's words came out, the smile on Zheng Tiantian's lips gradually faded away.

She pursed her lips and stared at Xie Lin in the darkness, like a ghost angry, so eerie.

But Xie Lin was still describing his sister, unconsciously smiling because he was caught in the memory.

He gestured the height beside him, as if his younger sister was standing beside him, never lost.

"Jiaojiao is a very beautiful little girl. She likes beautiful dresses and dolls. When she smiles, the sky is bright."

As Xie Lin spoke, the smile on his lips deepened, but tears welled up in his eyes, and even his voice became hoarse.

—Have you ever met a girl?

She was wearing a beautiful dress, and when she smiled, she was as bright and lovely as a sunflower, as if the sun from the whole sky was falling on her.

She would call her brother sweetly, she would cry and say brother, don’t get hurt, and she would obediently give him a big hug when he came home exhausted, saying that he is the best brother in the world.

Her name is Xie Jiaojiao.

She is my sister, the only source of meaning and struggle in my life.

I want to bring the best of everything in the world to her, and let her be the happiest little girl in the world, a carefree and happy little princess forever.

But, I lost her...

Since the kidnapping case decades ago, Xie Lin has been in pain all day long. When the illness was at its worst, he couldn't distinguish between reality and fiction. He staggered to the street and asked everyone if he saw his sister.

The passers-by were about to get angry, but when they saw the young man in distress and heard what the young man said, they looked at him with pity and sighed.

This is a poor brother who lost his sister.

No one recognized that this disheveled, muddy young man was Xie Lin, the once glorious song god.

Losing all the aura, he is just a poor brother, looking for his sister, suffering day and night and regretting that he cannot be rescued.

Xie Lin looked at Zheng Tiantian with soft eyes, as if seeing his sister again.

Even now, he himself can't tell whether the person sitting in front of him is Zheng Tiantian...

Still Xie Jiaojiao.

so similar.

The corners of the eyes and eyebrows all look like his own sister.

But Xie Lin didn't dare to confirm.

The only possibility he could think of, that his sister's appearance remained the same after decades, was that her sister had died and turned into a ghost.

Only ghosts can be immortal.

But that fact was so painful that just thinking about it made Xie Lin tremble with heartache and couldn't breathe.

Such a tragic scene in the warehouse back then...Jiaojiao, what exactly did she go through?

Xie Lin unconsciously tightened his shirt on his chest, and even bent his straight back, making his whole body bent like a shrimp.

Zheng Tiantian was sitting on the grand teacher's chair opposite, watching Xie Lin's pain with cold eyes, but she didn't have the slightest intention to reach out to help Xie Lin up.

There was even a hint of joy in her big beautiful eyes, and even the corners of her lips curled into a smile.

"Brother, do you know woodcarving?"

Zheng Tiantian's voice was very soft, and when the wind blew, it scattered like ashes after burning paper money.

"Just like people, they grow from trees, are polished into their own unique appearance, and are given life, from death to life."

Zheng Tiantian lowered her eyes halfway, and murmured in a low voice: "The best thing is that they are different from people... They will not be like people, they will abandon me and break their vows. They will always be with me By my side, always, always.”

Xie Lin heard the voice and looked up at Zheng Tiantian.

And Zheng Tiantian was wrapped in the darkness of the room, as if she was trapped in a swamp, unable to get out.

She lowered her head, her expression was shrouded in darkness, making Xie Lin unable to see her current expression clearly.

Before Xie Lin stepped forward, Zheng Tiantian raised her head and asked Xie Lin with a sweet smile: "Can my brother be a model for Tiantian? Tiantian wants to carve a puppet of her brother, who will always be with Tiantian around."

Xie Lin stared deeply at Zheng Tiantian, he couldn't find any reason to reject the girl.

It was like facing his sister back then.

He once swore to his younger sister that his brother would always be by Jiao Jiao's side and would not let anyone bully Jiao Jiao, no matter who it was, he would be responsible for beating her back.

However, he missed the appointment.

He left his younger sister to face the fear of being kidnapped alone. He didn't know how the younger sister cried and begged her elder brother to save her...

Xie Lin was full of guilt and remorse.

How can I reject my sister.

He chuckled and nodded towards Zheng Tiantian: "Okay."

Zheng Tiantian also smiled and narrowed her eyes, as cute as a crescent moon.

But in the depths of the soul, the ghost energy roared like a sea wave, enveloping the entire courtyard.

"My brother said back then that we should protect Jiaojiao and always be by Jiaojiao's side."

"My brother is a bad brother."

"No one loves me, no one saves me, all the people who said they would protect me, they made a mistake, they didn't come."

So, I can only protect myself.

Whether it's a human, a ghost, or heaven and earth, no one can take anyone away from me, and no one can bully me anymore!

Zheng Tiantian slowly got up from the grand teacher's chair, and stepped into a pool of blood with her bare feet, staining her beautiful skirt red.

She tilted her head, smiling broadly.

"This time, brother can stay by Jiao Jiao's side forever."

"We will never be apart."
