no puppet

Xie Hengyan remembered that when she was still on Tongjing Island, she once heard from the residents in the neighborhood that the sea area north of Fuze Mountain was always desolate and barren, and it was not suitable for groups of people to live there for a long time. .

One reason is that due to the terrain, the waterway is extremely inconvenient, and ordinary cargo ships would not think of heading there.Tongjing Island, which was surrounded by the sea before, has degenerated from being self-sufficient at the beginning to being desolate and desolate. Most of the reasons for this are inseparable from the completely enclosed terrain.

The second reason is the lack of resources caused by the terrain at the beginning. The islanders who only lived on fishing were no longer satisfied with the status quo of simply maintaining their livelihoods. Later, they were able to walk and disperse. There are only a group of special people left on the island. Elderly people who love their hometown spend their old age peacefully guarding the vast wasteland under their feet. In the end, the entire bustling and rich Tongjing Island has become a lonely grave with countless dead bones.

Now Xie Hengyan and Yin Chun's eyes were opened, Fang jumped off the boat driven by a group of fishermen, the surroundings were still pitch black, they didn't turn on the lights, they just relied on the faint light from the bow of the boat to illuminate the way ahead.

The place where the group of ships can be vaguely berthed is a relatively narrow wharf, the width of which is no more than ten feet from front to back. Once all the medium-sized ships lean on the shore, it is enough to be overcrowded.And behind the pier, there are a few dead wooden poles that are sparsely stretched into a forest. It looks like there is an open space to settle down, but because the light at night is too blurred, Xie Hengyan can barely guess... This place is about a very inconspicuous building. In total, the small island is probably not half the size of Tongjing Island.

Moreover, most of the island is still very poor, the kind that is worrying about food and clothing - this is inferred from the previous tragedy of Tongjing Island in the last period.

Xie Hengyan was still thinking about seeing something else, but not long after getting off the boat, he was picked up by a man dressed as a fisherman beside him, and he carried it directly on his shoulders. A group of people walked towards the depths of the island .

Then walk inward for a short distance of less than a mile, leaving aside the few dead trees that I saw at a glance just now, and the weeds on the side of the road that are nearly half the height of a person, winding all the way inward, and then appearing in front of people's eyes, then It is an undisguised circular village.

——It looks like a village.

But if you insist on calling it a village, the actual situation is not very similar.

Because in almost every corner there, there is poverty and shabbyness visible to the naked eye.Not to mention the dilapidated fences piled up randomly with straw, the surrounding houses in the village are also extra crowded and short, generally looking flimsy, until you get closer and take a closer look, you know that the houses are not made of wood or It was muddy, but it was barely built with a few tents made of coarse cloth, and then the sea breeze from the pier blew gently, and it immediately rattled and rattled, as if it was on the verge of collapsing.

Xie Hengyan has been away from home for some years, and she has never seen an island on the sea that is more bleak than her hometown. Now she stands there in a daze, and she doesn't know whether to feel the strange fear first, or feel the familiar desolation. sad.

Immediately afterwards, Yin Chun was brought up by the rest of the people, and the two looked at each other in silence for a while, but before they could slow down and say a word, the brother Wu who was handing ginger soup just now opened his throat , suddenly shouted: "—two foreigners have come to the village, hurry up and let the village chief know!"

Xie Hengyan's ears buzzed, and she was so frightened that she hid behind Yin Chun again, leaving only a pair of round eyes blinking.

But soon, he couldn't hide anymore—the small village has its own benefits. After the surname Wu finished his roar, a dozen or so people swished out of the surrounding tents in no time. Among them were all young men and women, holding lanterns and torches for lighting, without exception, holding heavy objects such as hoes and sticks in their hands, all looking alert and scared, one by one came straight forward, tremblingly asked:

"...Where are there foreigners?"

"Take it out and have a look!"

"It's still up to you, maybe it's some kind of monster or goblin, let's beat him up first!"

The fishing men pushed Xie Hengyan Yinchun forward, and the two of them couldn't stand still, and they knelt down on the ground with a plop.When he raised his head again, he happened to meet countless pairs of terrified eyes, suddenly illuminated by the dim yellow lantern, and immediately described it as terrifying like a ghost.

"Look, look at this teasing tooth!"

One of them opened Xie Hengyan's mouth and let the onlookers read them one by one, "It's so sharp! It's so long! It's hard to guarantee that it's not an ogre from the sea!"

Xie Hengyan frowned, and couldn't help saying: "I'm not a demon, you are the demons!"

"Look, he can talk back!" The crowd immediately horrified, "With this appearance, what else can it be if it's not a monster?"

"Whatever he is, as long as he comes from outside, he probably won't have any good things!"

"Call me guys, call me!"

"Hit! Let's talk about the disabled!"

All of a sudden, sticks and hoes with torches were held high above their heads. The villagers seemed to be terrified, and they were about to jump up and beat the two strangers to death. Gao He, Brother Wu at the other end suddenly stopped him: "Calm down first, don't be impulsive! The village chief has come out——"

Before the words finished, Xie Hengyan slid into Yin Chun's arms, and the two of them pressed tightly together, Yin Chun was naturally tense, knelt on the spot without making a sound.

After a while, they finally got out of the way of a crowded and narrow path from the middle of the menacing crowd.Everyone raised their eyes when they heard the sound, only to see that big brother Wu bent his waist cautiously, and behind him came an old man with slow steps and a limp step, who must be the village chief they were talking about. .

The old village chief already has fine lines on his face, gray hair, and his eyes are so narrowed that he can't see clearly. Look at this, he is at least a hundred years old——as for why he can still be seen on this small broken island? After living for such a long time, I can't figure it out for a while.Then look at the vicious villagers around, but all of them are young people, no more than four or fifty years old, and they have never reached the point of being bald.

"Village chief, these are the two... When we were about to go back to the village, we met at the east side of the pier." Brother Wu raised his hand and said to Yin Chun and Xie Hengyan, who were tied up on the ground, "In our village, I haven't seen a few real people for many years. Take a look, are they monsters?"

All the villagers also said: "Yes, if it is really some kind of monster, we will drag them out and slaughter them!"

Everyone was very excited, as if seeing something strange, staring at Yin Chun and Xie Hengyan and couldn't move their eyes.However, the old village chief was very calm. When Fang walked out of the crowd, he had a calm expression on his face. Now, with the support of Brother Nawu, he walked forward slowly and walked around Xie Hengyan who was kneeling on the ground. After turning around for a full circle, he still kept his old face and said nothing.

Xie Hengyan was very anxious, fearing that he would really see something, she kept her head drooping all the time, not even daring to raise her head.

Unexpectedly, the old man paused and just stopped in front of him, but let out a "hum" from his throat, which seemed to be sneering, and also seemed to show disdain for discovering the secret.

Brother Wu hurriedly said: "What's the matter, what did the village chief see?"

The old village head rolled his small eyes, Fang nodded unhurriedly, and the crowd behind him seemed to explode in an instant, without saying a word, they swarmed up with their hands full of sharp weapons: Hit me! Hit me to death!"

Xie Hengyan's breathing was stagnant, and all the hair on his body stood on end, and he screamed desperately, "Yin Chun, save me!"

"Wait!" Suddenly there was another strong and powerful order.

Brother Wu frowned, and said coldly: "The village chief hasn't spoken yet, why are you all so excited?"

All the villagers immediately stopped in a hurry.Xie Hengyan was also so frightened that her whole body went limp, and she put her head into Yin Chun's arms, like a dead dog that was frightened too much.

At that time, the village head turned his eyes away, and transferred the pair of small eyes that seemed to be slack, but were actually very energetic, to Yin Chun intact.

Yin Chun also became stiff all over, but he remained calm and hid Xie Sigou behind his back, then said with certainty: "...I'm not a demon."

"you……"

The old village head suddenly opened his mouth, hooked his fingers at him inexplicably, and said, "Come with me."

Yin Chun knelt on the spot in a daze, and then Brother Wu supported his shoulders with one hand, dragged him straight up from the ground, and repeated: "The village chief asked you to go with him."

Before Yin Chun could make any reaction, Xie Hengyan grabbed his wrist desperately.

Xie Hengyan's complexion was not very good-looking, and her two dark and round almond eyes were also slightly red, as if she was still afraid.He didn't say anything, just stood up behind Yin Chun dryly, shaking his head at him.

Brother Wu said, "What are you talking about? We're not monsters—we don't eat people and don't kill people, just feel free to go."

Yin Chun raised his finger to point at Xie Hengyan, and said: "Can you take him with you?"

"...He stays." The old village chief said faintly in front of him, "You are only allowed to come alone."

As soon as these words came out, Xie Hengyan asked a group of villagers behind him to jump up and hold them down. Yin Chun's eyes were heavy, and Fang was about to take out two talisman papers from his sleeve, but before he made any movement, Brother Wu With a big hand blocking it, it was stopped abruptly in mid-air, unable to move for a while.

Yin Chun raised his eyes suddenly, his expression was as cold as ice.Brother Wu's face also turned cold, and he said word by word in his ear: "The villagers are people who know how to measure, you don't have to worry about anything, just do what the village chief says, and he won't make any mistakes."

I originally wanted to write about a group of cute villagers. Although it seems a bit rough now, the yelling and killing are actually just talking about it, and there is no real fight~

It's a copy of love, how can the assist not be cute!

Of course, the main storyline is also being pushed, and it will probably reveal a wave of Yin Chun's life experience!

As always, there is another update at 9:[-]
