Chapter 95
He straightened up and walked over to Wen Shi, raised his hand proactively and said, "Do you want to tie it up?"
For a moment, his slightly curved index finger stretched out towards Wen Shi's puppet string, as if he wanted to tie the string around his wrist. It wasn't until Dadong next to him cast a suspicious glance that he suddenly remembered something and retracted his finger a second before touching the puppet line.
"I almost forgot." Xie Wen lowered his eyes slightly and looked at the thread. After a while, he raised his eyes and said to Wen Shi, "I'm not good at learning and use it rarely. I don't remember so many details. You can do it yourself. ."
I said "hmm" when I heard it.
He moved his ring finger, and the snow-white thread shook off, and soon wrapped around Xie Wen's wrist, wrapping it around several times.
"Can I tighten it a little?" Dadong suddenly said. He clenched his fist in discomfort and then loosened it. He moved his right hand. "Usually, when I tie anything, I use so much force that it breaks. It’s over. This is the first time I’ve been tied up in such a gentle way, and I’m not here to go shopping, so it’s so damn uncomfortable.”
He grabbed the candle lantern in Zhou Xu's hand, shined it on his arm, and said, "See, my skin is getting goosebumps. I'm very sensitive."
To knowledgeable people, this is like a cow saying "I'm very powerful." Before he could say anything, Zhou Xu, who knew him well, turned his face away and couldn't listen anymore.
Xie Wen said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter if it's looser or tighter."
He actually said this to Wen Shi, but it turned out that Miss Shen Manyi was concentrating on the imitation show. When she heard what he said, she also laughed and said: "It's a small matter, you can do whatever you want."
When Dadong heard this, he twitched his ring finger three times in a row. With the main force of this finger, the iron door could be pulled open after three twitches.
The puppet string was suddenly withdrawn, and Shen Manyi was almost sent away on the spot.
A little girl's sob suddenly sounded in the corridor. It sounded like it was close to the ear and floating in the void. The three candle lights flickered.
Dadong was startled, his fingers twitched in fear, and the puppet string tightened even more.
Shen Manyi cried again.
Dadong was frightened again and his fingers twitched for the third time.
Shen Manyi...
Shen Manyi no longer wants to play.
He also felt a little regretful when he heard about it. He now felt that the idea of "each person holding one person's hand" was simply too bad. Dadong's two-hundred-and-five-year-old man is not a human being, and what he is holding in his hands is not a human being, so he can just strangle him.
But he is different.
He knew that what he was holding was a real thank you, so he had to restrain his strength, and the puppet string could be held too tight. Otherwise, as he walked, all that would be left on the line would be severed hands.
But it’s really weird when the buckle is loose…
When Xie Wen lowered his hand, the wrapped puppet thread slid down his arm and rested half-loosely on his protruding wrist bones.
When hearing it: "..."
In terms of sensitivity, he may be the ancestor among the puppet masters.
In the corner of his eye, Xie Wen was looking down at the thread on his wrist, wondering what he was thinking. After a long time, he raised his eyes as if he wanted to speak.
But he was overtaken by Wen Shi: "Let's go."
His voice was cold, and there was no emotion on his plain face, let alone that he was suffering from puppet strings.
In the eyes of uninformed people, they would only think that his level is not very good, and the connection with the thread is too shallow, so he is so calm while holding someone in hand.
They searched all the way to the largest room. Judging from the interior decoration and the contents of the closet, this room should be where the owners of the Shen family, Mr. Shen, and his wife live.
The house was as tidy as a model apartment and not very popular. It was obvious that few people were there. Pianos, sofas and some decorative cabinets that are prone to dust are covered with white linen covers to prevent dust. But after a cursory sweep of the candlelight, it really looks like a mourning hall.
"Fuck!" Zhou Xu suddenly shouted, turned around and grabbed Xia Qiao.
Xia Qiao's collar was almost torn off by him, so he quickly fished it out and said, "What's wrong?!"
"People!" Zhou Xu pointed to a corner.
When I heard it, I swept over with a candle light and saw a human-shaped thing standing upright in the corner, wrapped in a dustproof cloth.
Zhou Xu and the others shouted and hugged each other, not daring to look at them a second time.
When I heard it, they called me a headache: "That's a clothes hanger."
"Coat hanger?" Zhou Xu turned his head to look doubtfully.
The color on Dadong's face had just returned, and he immediately shouted: "Yes, take a closer look? That thing is at least two meters tall. No normal person can be that tall."
Xia Qiao and the others breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes."
Sun Siqi: "There should be a hat on top, so it looks like a person standing there."
Everyone had a false alarm and relaxed. Dadong took the lead in rummaging through boxes and cabinets in the house to find the broken pages of the diary. This task was not difficult at first, but "Xie Wen" he was holding was out of tune and always kept far away from him while walking.
Everyone else had come in, but "Xie Wen" was still wandering outside the corridor, like a kite that was very easy to fly into the sky, and it hurt his hand to pull.
Zhen Xiewen leaned against the door and watched the show, watching Shen Manyi standing in the corner of the corridor far away with her own appearance. Maybe the others were not around, or maybe she was being strangled by Dadong now and then, driving her almost crazy. She held her hand on the wall and looked here in a "secretly observing" manner.
"Are you particularly afraid of this room?" Xie asked.
Shen Manyi: "Not afraid."
"Could this be where you are? There are signs of replacement on those two carpets." Xie Wen added.
