Chapter 9 Puppet Man
Yu Hu returned to his horse, and Ban Lu came over, "Boss, I want to ride in the car too."
"Shut up." Yu Hu shouted.
The confusion in Ban Lu’s eyes was mostly suppressed.
Yu Hu said coldly: "Without the trick, do you even have basic vigilance? Why didn't I see you like riding in carriages in the past?"
Ban Lu was enlightened, and the last bit of obsession was suppressed by vigilance. Looking at the alluring treasure car no longer felt good.
She asked quietly in a low voice, "Is there something weird about this car?"
The twins who were looking for wealth and treasure came closer together.
Yu Hu took a deep breath and said: "There is a wooden figure sitting inside. It is not clear whether it is strange or strange."
The expressions of the three of them changed, and Ban Lu said angrily: "I Just say that the businessman must be weird if he is too enthusiastic. I am afraid he is using us as a shield. Let’s see if I don’t take them down.”
Yu Hu pulled her back and scolded: "When will you change your bluffing temperament?"
Ban Lu said unwillingly: "Then let them plot against us like this?"
Yu Hu Tiger's eyes flashed with a fierce light, "Of course I won't let it go like this, but the adult shouted to stop when he saw the caravan earlier, for fear of having some plans. Teach this gang a lesson It's a small thing to be mediocre, but it will be a big deal if it ruins the master's plans."
Remembering Mi August's unpredictable methods, Ban Lu felt pain again from the burn on his face, and nodded obediently and muttered: "Then we will settle the accounts with them after the adults' business is finished."
After the discussion here, in the carriage at the other end, the businessman was also arguing with his wife.
The businessman's name is Du Yuanda, his wife is Li, and there is a cardamom girl who is about twelve or thirteen years old, their daughter Du Xiaomei.
Ms. Li looked uneasy and kept mumbling since she returned to the carriage.
“The girl just barely had haircuts, and she looked like she had never been out before, and didn’t understand the dangers of the world. The child next to her was even smaller, so thin, and she was afraid that she would be beaten by that little girl. The poor man who was saved."
"Okay." Du Yuanda was irritated by the reading, and his expression and tone were completely different from the kind and enthusiastic expression in front of Yu Hu and others." It's going to be night soon. If they don't go up, what if the man-eating demon car wants to eat a woman this time? Now you and Xiaomei are the only women in the team. Should you go up or let Xiaomei go up?"
Hearing her name, Du Xiaomei hugged Ms. Li's arm tightly, trembling with fear, "I won't go, I don't want to be eaten, mother, I'm afraid!"
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." Mrs. Li comforted her little daughter, her pale face showing unbearable struggle, which gradually turned into silent compromise.
"Hmph." Du Yuan's eyes were sinister and he cursed: "I didn't expect to meet Mr. Wen, but there is nothing I can do about it now. Let's see how lucky this Mr. Wen is, tonight. Yaocha wants to eat men A person is still a woman, and if a man eats her, she is still a child."
Mi Feixue has short shoulder-length hair and a thin appearance. Outsiders would easily mistake her for a boy at first sight, but Du Yuanda did. No exception.
"If he is eaten, we will put the responsibility on the people in Siye Mansion. I have tried my best to stop it, and I kindly asked the doctor to treat Mr. Wen. It was only the people in Siye Mansion who stopped him that led to the I heard that the young master died of illness on the way. Do you remember it?" Du Yuanda asked his wife and children.
Li asked softly: "What if the night wanderers cause trouble for us?"
Du Yuanda sneered, "They are just a bunch of lackeys barking at night. It is their duty to eliminate demons and protect the road. The disaster we encountered on the official road this time was due to their dereliction of duty. When we get to Beiyuan City, I will go to Fu Yin to consult." They won't be able to eat anymore."
Du Xiaomei said: "Dad is still awesome."
Du Yuanda smiled proudly.
In the car.
Satin soft pillow, sandalwood small table.
The incense of the stove is faint, and the smell of tea is overflowing.
The space inside is much wider than it looks from the outside.
Mi August leaned on a soft pillow and read a book, while Mi Feixue sat beside her and also read attentively.
On the ground, the young man in brocade clothes with a bruised nose and swollen face lay limp, still unconscious.
Sitting cross-legged in front of the sandalwood table is a puppet, dressed in a light green maid's uniform, with her hair combed over her temples. From the back, she looks just like a real person. Click.
The puppet maid was making tea when she suddenly turned to face Mi August.
The posture of its body below the neck has not changed at all, and its head alone faces sideways in a position that is simply impossible for humans.
“Where did the guests come from and where are they going?”
What is completely different from the puppet’s smiling face is that the sound it makes is sinister and harsh, as dry and hoarse as a saw blade sawing wood.
According to the puppeteer's consistent experience, the guests will be startled at this time, with frightened faces on their faces.
The puppet man smiled even deeper.
“Come from hell and go to the world.” Mi August raised his eyes and responded with a polite smile.
Puppet Man: "..."
It stared at Mi August, as if it wanted to penetrate her face.
Mi August asked kindly: "Are your eyes uncomfortable?"
The puppet man, who had a bad start, had a gloomy expression, his eyes turned to the left, and he attacked Mi Feixue, "This guest What? "
Mi Feixue said nothing.
Ten seconds later.
Puppet Man: "Guest?"
Mi August said: "The baby's throat is uncomfortable and he can't speak for the time being."
Puppet Man: "..." You didn't tell me earlier! ?
The puppet man, who had become increasingly aggressive, lost all patience with the last prey in the car.
"Last guest, what about you?"
The gloom can be seen from every word.
"Guest?" The puppet's upper body leaned out of the small table, and its head was close to Wen Qingyu's ear, "Guest, don't pretend to be asleep. If you don't tell the destination, I will lead you the wrong way."
Pretending to be dead. Wen Qingyu was told the truth by the voice in his ear. The harsh voice tortured his ears, like a saw rubbing in his brain.
I had no choice but to open my eyes, and saw a sinister face of a puppet. The puppet's red bloodshot eyes rolled around and fell out of it.
“Ah——”
Caught off guard, Wen Qingyu’s heart trembled and she blurted out a scream.
The puppet laughed "giggle", and its eyes on the ground bounced up and down happily as if infected by its emotion.
Wen Qingyu suddenly felt his legs sinking. He turned his head to look, and what he saw made his eyes wide open.
I saw that the planks of the carriage under his feet turned into a quagmire, and his legs sank there. It was hard to see what greasy things were licking his legs in the quagmire underneath, and every time he touched them, he felt Wen Qingyu's scalp felt numb and chicken skin covered her body.
“Save me!” At this time, Wen Qingyu couldn’t care about anything else and asked for help from Mi August and the two people in the carriage. “I am a direct descendant of the Wen family of Kaiyun Shipping Company. If you save me, you can get ten thousand gold. !”
Seeing that Mi August was unmoved, the young man was shocked and angry, then he looked pitiful and his tone was extremely sincere. Well-behaved, "I know you don't look down on worldly things. I have spiritual crystals at home. As long as you save me, I will give you whatever you want. If you don't believe me, look at the ring on my hand. It has the original inlay inside." A spiritual crystal, although it has been used, still has spiritual energy left, which is impressive to you.”
Mi August's eyes fell on Wen Qingyu's fingers, who was full of hope.
“It turns out that I still have this backup plan.” She whispered, her eyes neither happy nor sad.
Puppet Man: Give me some face?
