The Angels of the Company of Heroes rise

Eighteen: The Old Man and the Puppet

The two had their own concerns and remained silent. Put your hands behind your head, lean against the wall, and look at the stars in the night sky. “Lingxi, now I’m also on Angel Star. How is your Angel Nebula in that world? Are you okay?”

After a while, Qin Wuyou took out his phone and looked at Lingxi’s smile on the phone. Asked Kesha: “I play a song, don’t you mind?”

“Hmm…” Kesha didn’t understand why Qin Wuyou suddenly wanted to sing, but she didn’t refuse.

”

Laugh at who takes pride

How to match without heartThe bell is crisp

Dim lights between the curtains

you and i were made for each other

It’s the original sin without you

no heart to match

………

It’s you who kissed the pen and ink

dye my eyes with tears

Who are the joys and sorrows

they misunderstood

I’m only controlled by you

How can there be more perfect in the world

………

”

A song is played.

“It’s very nice. It’s a style I’ve never heard before. This song is very sad. Can you tell me about the story?” Keisha said

Qin Wuyou nodded, then played it in a loop, and began to talk.

“It is said that in my hometown, in the ancient northern mountains, it was already winter in October, and a scholar was on his way.

Not long after entering the mountain, the sky turned gloomy, and before we traveled far, it began to snow heavily. Fortunately, there is no unparalleled road, and there is still a ruined temple that can barely block the wind and snow. The scholar also met an old man and his puppet here.

It was a strange, indescribable feeling.

The old man’s hair is gray, his clothes are tattered, and there is nothing valuable on his body, but the puppet he is holding in his hand is lifelike, like a living girl, especially the tear mole under the corner of his eye, which is really cute.

To meet is to be destined, and it happens that the snow starts late at night and there is nothing to do. So the scholar and the old man simply sat in front of the fire and chatted while warming themselves by the fire, but once the clip was opened, it would not be able to close. After listening to him rambling for more than half an hour, he knew the whole thing about the past.

The old man said how playful he was when he was a child, as long as he heard the ring of the silk bell, he would know that the busker playing the silk puppet must have come. At that time, he was hooked.

So, when I was happy, I simply learned puppet show. The family beat and scolded and scolded, but seeing that he couldn’t stop it, he had no choice but to let him go. Just like this, I entered the industry, and this performance lasted for a lifetime.

I have wandered through countless mountains and rivers, and wandered through countless alleys. Except for the unrestrained vigor when I was young, I have nothing now. No home, no companion, nothing left in my life except the puppet in my arms who has been with me for the rest of my life.

The old man began to cry before he finished speaking. While crying, he wiped his face with the patched sleeves, but he couldn’t get it clean no matter how much he wiped. I didn’t know what to say, so I coaxed him to show his skills, but I didn’t expect that it would work. The old man blew his nose and stopped crying. He really played a show for the scholar

In fact, I don’t quite understand the babbling, babbling, joy and sorrow in the play, but the puppet dancing to the bell music is shockingly beautiful. Even though they knew it was just a gesture drawn by a silk thread, it seemed alive, so people couldn’t help but want to hold hands.

After finishing the song, the scholar couldn’t help saying to the old man, “You really deserve to be in the silk-drawing show all your life.” Unexpectedly, after hearing this sentence, the old man just smiled while hugging the puppet, and his face suddenly changed after laughing.

“My whole life! I have done such a thing in my whole life, and I have ruined my whole life like this!”

“Who is to blame? It’s not this thing!” The old man stared at the puppet in his arms for a long time, and then said, “It’s snowing heavily, but I can’t even buy a cotton coat. I can’t survive this winter. What else do you need? How about making firewood and burning it to warm your body!”

Before the scholar came back to his senses, the old man raised his hand, and the puppet was thrown into the fire. Unable to stop it, the scholar only had one sentence in his mind: “What a pity!”

What happened next is something I will never forget.

The light of the fire passed over the puppet’s gorgeous dancing sleeve singing shirt, burning the delicate bones carved from basswood, making a beeping, popping sound. At that moment, the puppet stood up slowly by itself, bowed sadly to the old man, bowed and kowtowed to show farewell, with an expression like a living person, smiling and drowning in the fire.

That night the fire burned extraordinarily long and warmly. It was obvious that there was not much firewood, but the fire did not gradually cool down until the sky brightened.

The old man came to his senses, covered his face with the burnt ashes and cried loudly, “It is indeed warm, but now I am really the only one left.”

In the early morning of that day, the sun was pouring down on the old man who was crying loudly, and his head had become as white as snow all over the ground at some point. The beautiful puppet stood silently behind the old man, with reluctance in his eyes.

Suddenly, she seemed to feel the scholar’s gaze, looked back at Wei Wei and opened her mouth to say

“Actually, I don’t want to leave him either, but I’m just a puppet…”

After listening to Qin Wuyou’s story, Kaisha’s eyes were clouded with tears. “It’s such a sad story. After being together for a lifetime, what the old man fell in love with was just a puppet. It’s the most desolate thing to put your love on things and not be able to love them.”

“Oh, yes. It’s a very sad story.” Qin Wuyou agreed.

“Are you missing someone?” Seeing Qin Wuyou’s missing expression, Kaisha asked.

Qin Wuyou sighed, “Yeah, I miss her very much. I don’t know if she’s doing well now, or if she’s missing me too.”

Hearing Qin Wuyou’s words, Kaisha’s eyes dimmed, “Then…why don’t you go back and see her?”Qin Wuyou shook his head, and said with a lonely expression, “She has her own things to do, and I don’t want to force her to stay. And even if I want to go back now, I can’t go back now.”

“Why?” Kaisha couldn’t figure out why she missed her so much, why didn’t she go back and have a look, Qin Wuyou is so strong, and nothing happened, where can’t the universe go?

“The old man and the puppet are separated by life, but I and her…… are separated by time. The two are equally far away, and cannot be changed by human power.” Qin Wuyou stared closely The bonfire in front of him said in a low tone.

Qin Wuyou and Kaisha just sat in front of the fire and chatted all night.

In the early morning, Kaisha was not so restrained in front of Qin Wuyou, talking and laughing with Qin Wuyou.

“Da da ta…” A few footsteps came from the dark woods not far away.

Keisha summoned a long sword and went into defensive mode. At this time, Ruoning just came out of the house. Seeing Keisha staring at the woods with a sword in her face, she hurried to her side. He took out his sword and looked around vigilantly.

“Kesha, could it be Hua Ye’s people are chasing you?”

“I don’t know yet, it should be.” Keisha shook her head, but kept her eyes on the source of the voice.

Qin Wuyou looked at the forest not far away, showing a puzzled expression. Hua Ye? He really wasn’t afraid of death, he had just severely injured him, and now he dared to send someone to trouble him.

However, there are some people who don’t look like Hua Ye. Hua Ye has always been arrogant and arrogant at all times. If it is him, it should be very neat footsteps. I’m a little flustered, it feels like I’m being chased by someone.

“Sister!” A crisp voice sounded, and several female angels appeared, running towards Kaisha. Surrounding Kesha and protecting her inside, a figure with the same appearance as Kesha threw herself into Kesha’s arms. Looking at this somewhat familiar beautiful figure, combined with her address to Kaisha, Qin Wuyou knew that this should be Liang Bing, the future King of Apocalypse and Demon Queen Morgana.

The new female angels had blood all over their clothes, and it was unclear whether it was the enemy’s or their own. At this time, several female angels also saw Qin Wuyou behind Keisha, and they all drew out their swords and pointed at Qin Wuyou, looking at him vigilantly.

“Who are you? You tied up my sister?” Liang Bing pointed at Qin Wuyou with a sword and asked with a grim expression.

It’s really just doing it casually, regardless of whether it’s indiscriminate or indiscriminate, and just pointing at others when it comes up. Are you not afraid of misunderstanding? No wonder it will become the future Demon Queen Morgana.

Kesha pressed Liang Bing’s sword-holding hand down, “Leng Bing, don’t be impulsive, he is…my friend, he saved me from Hua Ye’s hands.” After that, these new female angels relaxed their vigilance a little. But they still instinctively stay away from Qin Wuyou, and now they don’t have a good impression of any man.

Looking at Liang Bing covered in blood, Keisha asked, “Lang Bing, why are you here? You’re still covered in blood.”

Liang Bing explained, “It’s okay, sister, this is the blood of those male angels. I heard the news that you were captured by Hua Ye, so I brought my sisters to find you, but I met a group of male angels. We wanted to catch us when we met, but we broke out, and fortunately, we also met you here.”

At this time, a female angel stepped forward and suggested: “Sister Liangbing, let’s leave with Sister Kaisha first, and the male angels will probably catch up soon.”

“Yes, we have to leave quickly.” Hearing what the female angel said, he also realized that this place is not a place to stay for a long time, and Liang Bing pulled Keisha to leave.

“I’m afraid you won’t be able to leave.” Qin Wuyou said.

“You want to stop us?” Liang Bing pointed his sword at Qin Wuyou again.

“Idiot, see for yourself what that is.” Qin Wuyou rolled his eyes, and pointed to the woods not far away.

Liang Bing looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a dozen male angels walking out of the woods. The leading second-generation angel crossed his arms and said contemptuously: “Leng Bing, you can’t escape, you should go back with us. You are the woman that King Huaye likes. If I catch you, King Huaye might give me a piece of cake.” What about a generous reward. Oh? And Keisha, who happened to be caught together.”

Liang Bing said disdainfully, “Damn! That old man Hua Ye is also worthy of him!”

Several female angels stepped forward to block Liang Bing and Keisha behind them, and made a fighting posture.

“Give it to me, grab Liang Bing and Keisha!” The leading angel directly gave orders to the angel behind him.

More than a dozen male angels rushed forward to fight the female angels in an instant, and only the two female angels, Liang Bing and Kaisha, and the second-generation angel who took the lead remained unmoved.

The number of male angels is much more than these female angels, most of them are two-on-one, and some are even three-on-one. Although these male and female angels are a generation of angels. However, the equipment and combat experience of female angels are not as good as those of male angels. It is difficult to win a single fight, let alone several fights. Soon the female angels will fall into the disadvantaged.
