Outside the yard, a girl wearing a purple floor-length skirt was holding a wooden puppet in her hand. The puppet was wearing a colorful patchwork skirt, and its face was smeared with rouge and gouache.

"Hurry up, it stinks here! I want to go back." Wei Yingying stood outside the yard. The yard smelled of chicken manure and pig manure. She didn't want to go in because it would stain her shoes.

An Ran took off his coat boldly and glanced at the puppet held in the girl's arms.

"Your puppet is so beautiful. Can she move? It's just like the ones I've seen before that move and talk."

Wei Yingying stared at the little girl who was shorter than herself. Her mouth seemed not to be as high as her lips, and her eyes were so beautiful.

"How can something made of wood move or talk?" Wei Yingying didn't believe that the wooden doll could come back to life even if it wasn't a goblin casting a spell.

"I have a way to make it move and sing. Do you want to see it?" An Ran looked at the wooden doll, waiting for the fish to take the bait.

"I don't believe it. How can you make it move and still sing?"

An Ran knew that the other party was a little moved, but she just didn't want to believe it.

"My uncle taught me. He used to be a famous carpenter and could make all kinds of fun things. I can do it too. I can definitely sing and dance."

Wei Yingying was dubious. Could she really make wood sing and dance?

"Okay, then you do it now. If you can't do it, I will ask my father to dig out your eyes and cut off your hands." Wei Yingying said cruel words. No one in this village dared to lie to her.

"Miss Yingying, this...she is just talking nonsense. Don't believe her. She might just want to run away." The woman knew that the people in the official's family were educated and smarter than them, so it would be bad if they ran away.

"You can't run away until she's under my nose. Let her come back when she's done. Come with me. I'll watch you do it."

Shanhe just asked Miss Yingying to take him with him, and he would come to pick him up when he was ready.

An Ran followed the so-called Miss Yingying back, and this time she saw clearly the roads and layout here.

The residents here are very dense. There are mountains and forests outside the village, and there is very little cultivated land. There are more men than women in the village, and everyone has the air of being a gangster.

The bandit leader lived in the largest and most spacious place, and there were patrols, walking around and talking with big swords in their hands.

"Okay, just do it here. If you can't do it, I'll ask people outside to chop you down."

An Ran just treated it as a child to scare people, so he sat down and asked someone to find some wood and tools, and used charcoal to draw lines.

"I want to eat shortbread. Go and ask someone to make it for me. I'm hungry."

After a while, a woman brought three shortbread cookies, which were freshly baked and glistening with gold.

Wei Yingying ate while supervising the work. She crossed her legs and watched herself dozing off.

"When will you get it done?"

An Ran looked at the child holding his chest, feeling impatient with waiting.

"Just wrap these threads up and you can move them." An Ran inserted the thin threads into the puppet's joints and wrapped the other end of the thread around his finger.

Wei Yingying looked at the moving puppet and became happy, it could really move!
"I want to play, please teach me!" Wei Yingying has only played with dolls that can't move, but she has never seen one that can move like this.

An Ran asked the other party to try it out. Seeing that the other party was very interested, he took the opportunity to say that the puppet doll also needed to wear clothes and have facial features, so that it would have aura and sing.

Wei Yingying was very interested in singing after hearing this, and allowed her to live here and make her puppets. She wanted the most beautiful ones that could sing.

"Dad, you're back. Look, this puppet can move. It's much more fun than the one you gave me."

Wei Yingying saw her father riding back and showed him the puppet he had just made. She was bored to death in the mountains every day. She wanted to show her father something strange, otherwise those women would always think of ways to do it. Lure her father away.

"Master, you're back. Wipe your sweat quickly." The woman on the side took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and wiped the big man's sweat thoughtfully and gently.

Unexpectedly, the big man didn't appreciate it. He walked directly to his daughter, looked at the moving puppet, and praised her a few times.The other bandits moved the things they robbed today into the yard, which included several bags of grain, a suckling pig, and scattered furniture. After counting the items, they moved them to the warehouse. They planned to eat the suckling pig today.

"Why is she here?" The big man looked at An Ran, not asking Shanhe to take her back.

Wei Yingying said coquettishly: "Dad, she made this. I want her to come over and make me a puppet. You won't be angry, right?"

"Don't be angry. We'll eat roast pig later. Go and call your brothers." I had good luck today. As soon as I came down the mountain, I met a moving family and robbed a lot of money.

There was a bonfire in the sky, and the bandits sat in the yard, roasting pigs over the fire, and drank wine from the jars.

Afraid of An Ran running away, I specially found a room where people were locked up and put her in. There was someone guarding the door outside.

She was not the only one in the room. There were many women who had been robbed up the mountain by the bandits. They were all locked in this room for fear that they would escape.

From time to time, the women here would be called out from outside. After a long time, the women would be locked in again, naked and crying.

Some people seem to be used to it, lying in a straw nest to sleep, and when they get impatient with crying, they will get up and curse a few words.

The crying and fussing ones were all recently captured, looking for death and survival, but their children were in the hands of these people.

"Ah, it's a snake! Help! Help!"

Those who were lying down and crying were so frightened that they stood up. It was so dark inside that you couldn't see the snake anywhere.

An Ran's first reaction was "No Cai Cai", but the feeling under his feet was different!
"Under my feet! Someone come quickly!"

People outside heard a cry from inside the house and opened the door.

"What the hell are you calling! Where did the snake come from now!" No matter what time it is, the snake should have gone back to its hole to nest.

As soon as the door was opened, a group of snakes rushed out, frightening the two gatekeepers outside to tremble. They must have stabbed the snake's nest.

"Be careful!" One of them saw that the snake on the ground was swimming quickly, and it was about to bite someone.

"Ah -" One of them was bitten hard and fell to the ground in pain. He grabbed the snake's body with one hand and couldn't pull it off no matter how hard he tried.

The other one saw his companion being entangled by a group of snakes and was so scared that he peed his pants. What was going on?
"Oh no, boss, there are so many snakes!"

The big man who was eating meat, drinking wine and hugging women looked at his men who were running in a panic and kicked him over. Damn it, a few snakes scared you.

"Look at how cowardly you are, afraid of snakes, hahaha."

The others also burst out laughing, feeling that they were as timid as rats, and they dared to kill everyone, let alone a few snakes.

"Really, there are so many snakes that they are all entangled to death." He really wasn't exaggerating. He had never seen so many snakes in his life.

"Go and have a look, I want to see what kind of snake scares you into such a coward!"

Everyone was shocked, how could there be so many snakes!

Baozi's body was entangled with dense snakes, his face was black, his mouth was wide open, and there were many snakes wandering around, all of which were venomous.

"Where did these snakes come from?" The bandit leader had never seen so many of these things before. Could it be that he offended the Earth Immortal.

When things go wrong, there must be monsters. The bandit leader asked people to catch a big rooster and wanted to take this thing away.

Some of the women in the room were so frightened that they fainted, and some ran out of the room. An Ran was the only one left inside, and he had to have good legs to run.

But she was familiar with this scene, and Cai Cai called for help.

"Hey! You're not afraid anymore." A green snake hung its head from the roof and spit out snake bites.
