Business system: the gods save the world by opening a store

Xiaohu thought for a while, and said with some uncertainty: "However, not every family here makes such exquisite puppets, and only a few families in the town who have a good relationship with the mayor can make such good puppets. "

Xuntang looked at Xiaohu, but his peripheral vision fell on the puppet.

It was obvious that when she praised the puppet for its beauty, the hand of the puppet, which should have been motionless, shook slightly.

She is relatively young, and is likely to be sealed into a puppet at birth.

Seeing that Xuntang had been staring at his sister, Xiaohu said warily:

"My sister can't take it down to play, she is very important!"

But he was worried that his new friend would be angry and would not play with him, so he hurriedly rummaged through the box and took out his beloved puppet toy.

"This is my toy, let's play together."

There are men and women, old and young, and there are quite a few puppets, but these puppets are obviously not as delicate and lively as the "sister".

Xuntang nodded.

Xiaohu assigned a girl puppet to Xuntang, and then looked at Xuntang expectantly: "How about I perform a puppet show for you? I performed very well!"

In addition to being famous for making puppets in this small town, it is the wonderful puppet show.

Xiaohu grew up in such an environment, so he naturally likes puppet shows very much, but there are more people in the town than he knows, so he is always thrown cold water when he performs.

Now that he finally has a new spectator, he naturally has to perform well, and then listen to the cheerful applause.

Xiaohu played with the puppet, looking decent.

"A long time ago, there was a family with two children, an elder sister and a younger brother. The elder sister was very beautiful. There was a monster on the mountain who wanted her to be his wife. The elder sister was unwilling, but was snatched away by the monster one night. up.

The younger brother cried sadly, and then a beautiful fairy appeared in front of him, and said majesticly, "I will teach you the puppet method, how about saving your elder sister?" '"

Xiaohu first held the puppets of two children, a boy and a girl, and they played happily. Then he put down a piece of black cloth as the sky, and manipulated a monster with blue face and fangs to capture his sister.

The little boy knelt on the ground and cried sadly, and a beautiful fairy in colorful brocade clothes descended from the sky.

Xuntang watched with relish, and then the sister puppet behind her was also attracted, her small body bent forward slightly, her dark eyes focused on the jumping puppet.

The little tiger girl outside the door vaguely heard the sound of the puppet show coming from inside the door, and couldn't help smiling, but her eyes were full of sadness when she saw the moving little porcelain figurine through the crack of the door.

Time passed quickly, and Xuntang was about to bid farewell to go home, but saw hanging on the altar was a beautiful god wearing Qiluo and riding a magnolia cart, followed by a red leopard.

Xuntang looked at the altar curiously, and the little tiger mother said softly: "This is the protector of our town, the best mountain ghost lord in the world.

Lord Shangui protects us from the mountain to be peaceful, without flash floods and mudslides, and also protects us from the good weather and the safety of picking tea in the mountains. "

Xuntang nodded, bid farewell to Little Huniang and went out, when he was about to go back to the small courtyard, he saw a passing young man staring at him.

With a strange expression, he was still chanting: "Good material, good man, good-looking! I found it, hahaha, I found it!"

Xuntang felt a little strange, and when he looked again, the strange young man stumbled away by himself.

It's just that no one knows that in Xuntang's eyes, that person is surrounded by a thick black mist of evil, but it is isolated by something and cannot hurt him.

Xuntang frowned involuntarily, then turned back to the small courtyard.

Pushing open the door and entering the main room, he saw Yin Xiaoyu standing in the small courtyard. He asked, "Did you find anything outside? Everyone else went to check the situation."

Xuntang: "The worship of mountain ghosts in this small town is consistent with the information we have obtained, but the love for puppets here can be called fanatical, and I guess someone here seals human souls in puppets, in order to get better puppet."

"I saw a puppet in the house next door, and there was a little girl's soul hidden in it. Based on the degree of compatibility between her and the puppet, there is a high probability that she was imprisoned in the puppet at birth. People here will use human souls to make evil puppets. Law."

And children's souls are the purest, and at the same time, their resentment is the most intense and terrifying.

Yin Xiaoyu nodded: "After you went out, the mayor came once, and he asked us to find out the real culprit who killed the puppet in the town. He kept saying that every household in the town must worship the mountain ghost, and the mountain ghost protects Feng Mountain."

This kind of evil technique made Yin Xiaoyu frowned fiercely. He couldn't imagine how terrifying it would be for a human soul who yearns for freedom to be trapped in a small puppet day after day and year after year. matter.

At this time, Sister Hua and the others came back, and Xuntang repeated what he had discovered.

Wen Ge suddenly added: "When I went out to investigate just now, I found that the first child of each of the more than 100 households here is a boy."

Up to now, she still clearly remembers the wrinkled face of the woman who said this with a strange smile: "Our small town is lucky, and every household has boys, boys are good, boys."

At that moment, people were weird and terrifying.

However, it is impossible for everyone to have a first child boy, so where do these girls go?

The resentment of newborn babies is the strongest. There are so many households here and over time, terrifying monsters will definitely be bred.

Sun Kangping thought that every household here is worshiping the mountain ghost:
"Perhaps the mountain ghost protected the people here and didn't let these children make trouble strangely, but she has no way to stop the humans here. The gods cannot directly interfere with human life."

Is such an asylum really an asylum?
Wen Ge: "I'll go out at night to see if I can find anything."

The rest of the people nodded. The time they came to this scene is still too short, and they don't have enough information.

And destroying a scene, in addition to destroying the core sustenance items or killing the core characters, is to piece together all the plots.

Thinking of what happened last night, Wang Deping felt goosebumps appear on his arms: "The one who appeared last night was the abandoned baby girl in the town, right?"

Xuntang nodded: "The visions of the baby spirits suddenly disappeared last night because a woman stopped them, but she said please rescue him."

"Wait, save who?" Yu Wencheng was a little curious, "Could it be that someone in the town controls the puppet to kill people, this woman wants us to save the soul trapped in the puppet?"

"It's also possible."

Yin Xiaoyu nodded, agreeing with this conjecture.

Liu Tian suddenly heard and said: "The ancestral hall is very suspicious. People in the town have surrounded the ancestral hall very tightly. It seems that no one except the mayor's family can enter and leave the ancestral hall normally."

In the end, they settled on a few key points of investigation, the missing baby girl and puppets, and the ancestral hall.
