Xiao Shijiro

Chapter 37 The Doll World (1)
There are many kinds of sleeping; there are also many kinds of waking up.

When I was very tired, I took a comfortable sleep. When I woke up, I saw the sun in my eyes, my beloved was beside me, and I heard birds chirping in my ears. The innocent child was I giggled outside the window, and what I smelled in my nose was the aroma of ham and chicken soup.

This is probably the most pleasant "waking up".

The most uncomfortable thing was that I was in a bad mood, got drunk, and fell asleep for a long time. When I woke up, all the problems had not been solved, but my head hurt so much that I wanted to cut it off.

This kind of "waking up" is not as good as never waking up.

After being drugged, she was dizzy when she woke up, her head was bigger than three, and she felt like she was going to vomit.

But when Xiao Shishilang woke up this time, he felt very light and comfortable, as if he could fly around in the sky just by shaking his hand.

Shen Bijun was still beside him, sleeping soundly.

His heart was in a trance, as if full of happiness. All the previous disasters and misfortunes, at this moment, he completely forgot.

Unfortunately, this feeling doesn't last long.

First, he reads a lot of books.

The room is full of books.

Then, he saw an incense burner.

The smoke in the furnace is curling up, as if burning ambergris.

Xiao Shishilang stood up slowly, and saw that on the table were very expensive Duan inkstones, very ancient inks, very exquisite pens, and even the pen holders were antiques from the Qin and Han Dynasties.

He also saw the unfinished picture spread on the table.

The painting is looking at the sword with a lamp.

Xiao Shishilang suddenly felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet, and he couldn't help shivering Lingling, as if he suddenly fell from the bed into cold water in the severe winter.

He stood by the table for a while, then turned around.

The house had windows, big windows, just across from him.

Looking out of the window, the sun is shining outside.

The sun shines on a nine-curved bridge, and the flowing water under the bridge is also shining with golden light.

There is a small octagonal pavilion at the end of the bridge, and two people are playing chess in the pavilion.

An old man in red clothes still had a fishing rod and fishing gear beside his seat, with one hand resting on his forehead, and the other holding a chess piece, which he hadn't put down for a long time, as if he was thinking hard.

Another old man in green robe looked at him with a smile on his face, and there was a Liang Fu word shoe beside the stone bench, his feet were still bare.

Could it be that these are the two old dolls who were fishing and washing their feet by the stream just now?

Xiao Shishilang felt a little dizzy and could hardly stand up.

He could hardly believe his eyes.

The grass is green outside the window, and the breeze carries the fragrance of flowers.

A reindeer ran out of the flowers and bushes, as if suddenly aware of a stranger peeping at the window, and quickly got back.

There is a high wall outside the flowers, which cuts off the world outside the side wall.

But looking out from the half-moon-shaped portal in the corner, you can see a tea table in the distance, and there are two celadon tureen on the tea table.

These are exactly the two tureen bowls that Xiao Shishilang and Shen Bijun had just used.Xiao Shishilang can hold the bowl in his palm with one hand.

But at this moment, in his eyes, these two bowls seem to be bigger than the octagonal pavilion.

He could literally take a bath in the bowl.

Xiao Shishilang is not a person who is easily frightened, but now he only feels that his hands are shaking, his legs are weakening, and his clothes are soaked in cold sweat.

Shen Bijun was taking a long breath and had woken up.

Xiao Shishilang turned around and blocked the window.

Shen Bijun has been frightened and stimulated too much, and his body and mind are already very fragile. If he sees strange things outside the window again, he might go crazy.

Xiao Shishilang himself was going crazy.

Shen Bijun rubbed his eyes and said, "How did we come here? What kind of place is this place?"

Xiao Shishilang forced a smile, he really didn't know how to answer this sentence.

Shen Bijun sighed, and said: "It seems that Mr. Tian is really a weird person! Since he didn't intend to harm us, why did he send us here after being fascinated? Couldn't he send us here when we were sober?" Is it?"

Xiao Shishilang smiled even harder, not knowing how to answer.

Shen Bijun stared at him and found that his expression was very strange.

Xiao Shishilang usually cries when he wants to cry and laughs when he wants to laugh, and he has never forced himself.

Shen Bijun couldn't help asking: "You...what's the matter with you? Are you feeling bad?"

Xiao Shishilang said: "It's nothing. It's just... I also feel a little strange."

He was talking, but his eyes were looking at the desk behind Shen Bijun.

He only hated that he hadn't put away the books on the table just now, and he only hoped that Shen Bijun hadn't noticed the painting just now.

Surprised, Shen Bijun turned his head and followed his gaze.

Her face changed immediately, she was stunned for a while, and her eyes slowly moved around.

There are bookcases on all four walls, bookcases made of rosewood wood.

Xiao Shishilang forced a smile and said, "Perhaps Tiangongzi was afraid that we would be bored, so he sent us here. The books here may not be finished in three or five years."

With pale lips and trembling hands, Shen Bijun rushed to the window and pushed Xiao Shishilang away.

Quqiao, flowing water, old man, chess game... Shen Bijun gave a low cry and fell on Xiao Shishilang.

The incense in the furnace seems to have been burned out.

Shen Bijun's heart is still not settled.

After a long time, she was able to speak, and said, "Is this the doll's house we just saw?"

Xiao Shishilang only nodded and said, "En."

Shen Bijun said: "Are we in a doll's house now?"

Xiao Shishilang said, "Yes."

Shen Bijun tremblingly said: "But why did our people shrink? Those two old people are obviously dead dolls, how could they become living people?"

Xiao Shishilang could only sigh.

This thing is too strange, too strange and terrible.

No one would have dreamed of such a thing, and no one could ever explain it—it was more absurd than the wildest dreams.

Even Shen Bijun's lips were trembling, she bit her lip hard, and the bleeding from the bite proved that this was not a dream.

Xiao Shishilang smiled wryly: "We just wanted to come here to have fun, but we didn't expect it to come true now."

Shen Bijun had lost control, and suddenly grabbed his hand, saying: "Let's... run away!"

Xiao Shishilang asked, "Where are you going?"

Shen Bijun was stunned.

Where are you going?Where can they escape?
Shen Bijun lowered his head, a tear fell on the back of his hand.

There was a knock on the door.

who is it?

The door was ajar, and a maid in red pushed the door and walked in, her eyes fluttered, and she smiled sweetly, Xiao Shishilang vaguely recognized that she was the one serving tea in the front hall.

She was also a doll, but now she has become a living person with flesh and blood.

When Xiao Shishilang stared at her, her face also turned red, and she bowed her head in greeting: "My villa master specially ordered the lowly maidservants to come and invite the two of you to the hall for a light meal and a drink."

Xiao Shishilang walked out with her without asking anything.

He knew that no matter what he asked now, it was superfluous.

Turn around the corridor and you will find the hall.

There were three people chatting in the hall.

The person sitting in the main seat was a man with extremely handsome face and gorgeous clothes, wearing a high crown of strange and ancient shape, looking solemn and noble, as if he had the appearance of an emperor.

His complexion is like jade, so white that it seems to be transparent, his hands and ten fingers are slender, like a woman, anyone can see that he has never done any rough things in his life.

He looks as if he is still young, but if you walk in front of him, you will find that there are fish marks in the corners of his eyes. If he is not well maintained, he may already be an old man.

The other two guests, one has a big head and a thick waist, with money pockmarks all over his face.

There is another one who is taller and taller, with a face longer than a horse's. The hand holding the tea bowl is as steady as a rock. His fingers are thick and short. The middle finger seems to be as long as the little finger. It seems that the foreigner's palm strength has been trained to [-]%. heat.

The expressions of these two people are very rough, but their clothes are very gorgeous, and they are also very imposing. They are obviously heroes of the martial arts, their identities are very noble, and their status is also very high.

Xiao Shishilang had seen these two people before.

It's just that when he first met them, they were all soulless puppets.

Now, they all have life.

As soon as Xiao Shishilang walked in, all three of them stood up with smiles on their faces.

The master who looked like a king walked out of his seat slowly, and said with a smile: "The wine is still warm, please."

The words he used were simple and concise, and he would never use ten words if he could finish them in nine.

His voice was soft and graceful, and his movements and walking posture were equally graceful, as if he were a well-trained dancer, every movement implicitly matched the beat.

This person's clothing, speech, expression, demeanor, and demeanor are all so perfect that they are almost impeccable.

But Xiao Shishilang didn't have a good impression of this man.

He felt that this person was a bit sissy, too full of makeup.

Men are sissy, women are masculine, and he always finds it painful to meet these two kinds of people.

There is a table of fine wine in front of the hall.

The host greeted the guest with a smile, and said, "Please take a seat."

Xiao Shishilang said: "Don't dare."

The pockmark laughed and said: "This table of wine is specially prepared by the owner to clean up the dust for the two of you, why should you be so polite?"

Xiao Shishilang fixed his eyes on the master, and said with a smile: "I've never met him before, so how dare I bother him?"

The master was also staring at him, and said with a smile, "Since you've come, it's considered destined, please."

When the eyes of the two met, Xiao Shishilang realized that the master was very short, surprisingly short.

It's just that he is very well-proportioned and has such a noble bearing that when he is sitting, he even seems to be taller than others.

No one would have guessed that he was actually a dwarf.

Xiao Shishilang immediately looked away and didn't take a second look.

Because he knows that if a dwarf wears a tall hat, there must be something abnormal in his heart, and he must be very afraid that others will notice his shortness. If you look at him twice, he will think that you regard him as a monster.

So short people often do a lot of amazing things, that is, to make others pay no attention to his figure and make others think he is taller.

After sitting down, the host raised his glass first and said, "Your name?"

Xiao Shiyilang said: "Xiao, Xiao Shiyi."

Mazi said: "Stone Yi? A stone from a mountain rock, elegant and elegant?"

Xiao Shishilang said: "Yes."

Mazi said: "It's thunderstorm, this one..."

He pointed to the horse-faced man, and said, "This is Long Feiji."

Xiao Shishilang moved his face and said: "Could it be the Dragon Hero of 'Heavenly and Unconstrained'?"

The horse-faced man bowed his body and said, "Don't dare."

Xiao Shishilang looked at the pockmarked man and said, "Then you must be the Second Hero of 'Wanli Xingyun'."

Mazi smiled and said, "My brother has not been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, I didn't expect your Excellency to still remember the humble name."

Xiao Shishilang said: "Wu Shuang Iron Palm, Dragon Horse Spirit—the two great names are well known in the world. The Tianshan battle 13 years ago shocked the past and the present, and I have always admired them very much."

Lei Yu's eyes flickered, with a sense of complacency and sadness, he sighed: "That happened many years ago, I'm afraid few people in the world have mentioned it."

Thirteen years ago, these two men fought with the Seven Swords of Tianshan with their iron palms, and they went down the mountain without any injuries. It was indeed a great event at that time.

Xiao Shishilang said: "After the Tianshan battle, the two heroes have not appeared. People in the Jianghu are still talking about it. No one can guess where the two have gone."

Lei Yu's expression became even more gloomy, and he said with a wry smile: "Don't say that others can't think of it, even ourselves..."

Speaking of this, he suddenly stopped, raised his glass and drank it down.

The master sighed softly: "This world is no longer in the human world. No matter who comes here, there will never be news of them coming back to the human world."

Xiao Shishilang felt a little cold in his palms, and said, "This place is no longer human? Could it be..."

There was also a trace of sadness on the serene face of the master, saying: "This is just a world of dolls."

Xiao Shishilang was stunned.

After a long time, he was able to barely speak, and whispered, "A doll?"

The master nodded slowly, and said sadly: "Yes, doll..."

He suddenly smiled again, and continued: "Actually, everything is a doll, so why are people not dolls?"

Lei Yu said slowly: "It's just that human beings are the dolls of heaven, and we are all human dolls."

He looked up and smiled, and hissed: "Who in the Jianghu would have thought that my brother has become someone else's doll!"

Now Xiao Shishilang was feeling cold all over, and said, "Master, what is your name?"

The host smiled sadly: "I have been here for 20 years, how can I still remember my name?"

Xiao Shishilang said: "But..."

The master interrupted him, and said slowly: "In another 20 years, the two of you will probably forget your own names."
