When Zheng Yibai heard Xu Yi talking about the puppet, he remembered that there was no trace of the puppet at all on the way he walked.
"Boss, have those human dolls become spirits? Do they come out to party every full moon night?"
Xu Yi is not that curious. Having lived two lives, he has seen everything. When the wind blows, he can just block it with trees, and when the water comes, he can just cover it with earth.
"Whether it's a party or something else, we'll find out if we go and take a look quietly later."
Glancing at the village that had fallen into silence, Xu Yi suddenly asked, "What do you think of that old man and that woman just now?"
Zheng Yibai glanced in the direction Xu Yi was looking, his expression solemn, "That old man's kung fu is pretty good, but I don't know if he's deliberately hiding it and hasn't used his true strength.
As for that woman, I always feel that she has some bad intentions."
"I agree with you. Those dogs don't look like they can be raised by ordinary families. I hadn't even finished my tour of the village when I ran into this family.
After dinner, we'll go see what these grandfather and grandson are up to."
Zheng Yibai nodded, feeling that Xu Yi had considered things more comprehensively than he did. "Okay, let's prepare some more things later. I haven't used much of the things I bought from Chuyi last time, so this is a good time to test their effects."
The two returned to the yard where they had first cooked. The doll that had been sitting by the stone table in the yard was nowhere to be seen, leaving only the teacup on the stone table.
"Boss, where are we going to eat?" Zheng Yibai forced himself to suppress the uncomfortable feeling in his heart.
His mind was filled with the horror movies he and his senior brother had watched before.
Although he is a Taoist priest, he is still afraid of what he should be afraid of.
Hearing Zheng Yibai's unusual voice, Xu Yi glanced at him and said, "Eat at this stone table. If anything unusual happens, you'll know about it first."
"Okay, then I'll go bring out the food." Zheng Yibai glanced at the teacup, turned and walked towards the kitchen.
The food was served quickly, but it had already gone cold due to the long wait.
But fortunately it was summer, so the two of them were not pretentious and wolfed down the food.
A few minutes later, Xu Yi touched her belly contentedly and wiped the residue from the corner of her mouth.
"I was so hungry I almost had my eyes sparkling green. This meal cost 5,000 yuan, and it's really delicious."
Zheng Yibai relaxed instantly when he heard Xu Yi's rare joke. "Boss, you lost money on this meal. You only spent 5,000 yuan on two bowls of wild vegetable soup."
Hearing his teasing, Xu Yi didn't mind. "It's not a loss, it's not a loss. As long as I can have a meal, it's not a loss. When you find your master, you can treat me to a good meal when you go back."
"Okay, okay, as long as you can find my master, I'm willing to treat you to not only one meal, but 10 meals, or even a month's worth of meals," Zheng Yibai said.
His master and senior brother are his only two relatives in this world.
When Xu Yi heard her words, she gently patted Zheng Yibai's shoulder.
"Don't worry, your master is very skilled in martial arts, so he won't suffer any loss. Don't worry."
"Boss, I know. I'm sorry for what happened before. I shouldn't have lost my temper." Zheng Yibai felt a little embarrassed.
Xu Yi didn't take it to heart at all, and everyone has different personalities, so there will always be times when things don't go their way.
I am also quite difficult to deal with, so being appropriately tolerant of others is also a way of being tolerant of myself.
"Rest for a while, get ready and we'll set off."
…
In the doll village, in the dilapidated courtyard, the dim lights raised a cloud of dust in the breeze.
A group of puppets were sitting on stools, looking forward intently.
These puppets were exactly the ones Xu Yi and the others saw when they entered the village, scattered everywhere.
clang clang clang…
A burst of music was heard, and when I looked towards the puppets, I saw a group of puppets in costumes standing in the middle of the yard and singing.
"In the past, Liang Hong was married to Meng Guang, and now the fairy meets the King of Xiang.
I secretly laugh at my brother for plotting a vicious plot to kill King Liu.
The matchmaker is actually Qiao Guozhang, even if something big happens, it's okay.

The puppets below were watching with great interest, some even beating the beat mechanically.
Some of them seemed to be talking to the people next to them.
This picture makes me feel a little creepy no matter how I look at it.
In the room on the east side of the courtyard, the newly dressed woman said to the old man, "Grandpa, the auspicious time has arrived. Let's get started."
The old man looked at his granddaughter with a rosy face and said with reluctance, "My little Atong has really grown up. Now she is the most beautiful bride."
The old man looked at his granddaughter, thought for a moment, and said, "Atong, do you really want to marry that man? Otherwise, you should think about it again. It's not too late now."
"Grandpa, stop talking. I have decided to marry him. I like him. It doesn't matter if he is a ghost or a doll, I am willing to marry him." Atong was a little impatient, but after looking at the doll sitting on the bed, he said firmly.
The old man sighed and said nothing more. The girl was too old to be kept at home and he couldn't control her.
"Grandpa, go check what's going on outside. We should go out."
After saying that, the woman walked forward, took the doll's hand, and walked out the door.
The woman, wearing a bright red Xiuhe dress, stood beside a male puppet also in wedding attire. She said to the puppets in the audience, "Thank you all for coming. Tonight is Awei and I's wedding day. Please come have a drink and bear witness to our marriage."
