Listening to Xu Jie's words, I couldn't help but be taken aback.

It was the plain skirt woman who kept talking, but the young man didn't speak from beginning to end. But whether it is his appearance or actions, he looks no different from ordinary people, and even makes a face at women from time to time. To say that this is a puppet is too unbelievable.

Xu Jie said that the young man is by no means a living person, and she can't feel the slightest anger from the young man, but she can feel some woody aura.

The two followed the woman and the young man all the way to a wooden house built on the mountain, and soon discovered the difference between the young man.

The woman warmed wine and barbecued meat for him, but he didn't eat or drink, just kept smiling and listening to the woman's chatter.

Maybe Xu Jie and I are in a dream-like world now. Here, the sun and the moon alternate, and the speed of time travel is beyond human imagination.

At first, listening to the woman's coquettish words, I felt like I had been fed a large wave of dog food, but as time passed, I gradually felt sad for her.

There seems to be only one man and one woman, and they are each other's only companions. From the woman's words and demeanor, it is more certain that youth is the most indispensable part of her life.

However, as Xu Jie said, the youth is not a living person at all, but a puppet that can move, smile, but cannot speak, and has no soul.

Observing the life of the two seemingly fairy couples, I don't know when a thought popped up in my heart that made me feel terrifying:

This beauty in a plain skirt is actually in love with a puppet!

Countless winters have gone to spring, and beauties have become old, but young people are still the same as when they first met.

Suddenly, one day, the woman did not get up, did not go to the mountains to chop wood and collect medicine with the young man as usual.

Xu Jie and I looked at the bed, with a sickly face...... The old woman had a premonition of what was about to happen.

Finally, the old woman said weakly to the young man waiting by the bedside, "Brother, I'm leaving." โ€

The young man had the usual smile on his face, I don't know if it had been watching it for a long time, but I don't know when I began to feel that his smile was full of tolerance and love for women.

In the face of the young man, the old woman wanted to speak several times and stopped.

Eventually, she got out of bed with the help of the young man, took the cane that she had been unable to leave since ten years ago, and staggered towards the back of the house.

Since Xu Jie and I came here, we have never seen the two of us come to the back of the house. At this moment, I found out that there was a cave behind the wooden house.

The young man helped the old woman walk in, and Xu Jie and I also followed.

The cave is not spacious, but it is not cramped, the size of a wooden house.

But the cave is not full of life like in a wooden house, but a tombstone!

There are two names on the tombstone, Xu Jie and I peeked into the woman's life of nearly a jiazi, and we already know that the names on them are her and the young man's name.

The beauty who was peerless at the beginning, and now the old woman who is about to die slowly turned around and gently pushed the young man away.

She looked at the young man, and there was a complex sadness in her old eyes, which had become cloudy.

She seemed to hesitate for a moment, and finally spoke: "Brother, I'm leaving, I'm going to find the real you." โ€

The young man still looked at her with a smile on his face, more like a puppet puppet than ever before.

It can be seen that the old woman is very reluctant to this puppet. However, at this moment, Xu Jie and I have already understood that the brother in her mouth died many years ago, and the 'youth' who has accompanied her for decades is just a puppet made of wood. Even if love arises over time, it is only a person's emotion for a dead object, not the affection between people.

The old woman wiped the corners of her eyes, as if she had made a resolute decision, and finally nodded to the puppet, turned around and walked towards the tombstone.

Just as the old woman was about to walk in front of the tombstone, under the action of an unknown force, the tombstone turned violently, revealing a portal to the mountain.

The old woman stood in front of the stone gate for a long time without moving, her shoulders twitched a few times, as if she wanted to turn her head and look at the puppet again. However, in the end, it did not turn back.

The old woman finally walked into the stone gate, and the next moment when the tombstone returned to its original position, Xu Jie and I couldn't help but widen our eyes at the same time.

The puppet's expression has changed!

The smile on its face vanished, replaced by a deep sadness.

Before Xu Jie and I could react, the puppet suddenly pounced on the tombstone, making a sound for the first time since Xu Jie and I saw it.

"He's crying......"

He ...... He lived...... "I lost my mind like Xu Jie."

The puppet hugged the tombstone, as if holding the departed love, crying earth-shatteringly.

After crying, the puppet no longer has the smile on his face, but he does not have the numbness of being abandoned. Instead, with an indescribable firmness between his eyebrows, he sat down cross-legged by the tombstone and slowly closed his eyes.

By the time Xu Jie and I woke up from the shock, we didn't know how many cold and summer had passed.

Outside the cave that had been blocked by grass and trees, there was a sudden commotion.

The grass and trees were rudely cut down, and more than a dozen dusty foreign devils came in, including two Chinese men with braided Qing Dynasty clothes.

I reacted and quickly guessed the identity of the people from their outfits and equipment.

This is a foreign archaeological team in a special historical context.

Or, to put it simply, a group of tomb robbers who specialize in plundering the historical treasures of other countries under the guise of archaeology!

When the tomb robbers saw the tombstones in the cave, they were in ecstasy.

But when I saw a person sitting next to the tombstone, I was shocked.

Time has passed, and the puppet that was indistinguishable from a real person has become mottled, and when you sweep away the gray grass leaves on the surface, you can easily see that it is just a piece of wood without life and soul.

Finding out the 'truth', both Chinese and foreign tomb robbers feel insulted. They kicked and beat the puppets wantonly, yelling and laughing......

A thief is a thief after all, and in the end he reveals his true nature.

After a group of people probe, they began to operate.

Their purpose is clear, and their behavior is more simple and crude.

After an explosion within the control area, the tombstone was torn apart, revealing a stone gate in the mountain.

All the tomb robbers cheered and celebrated in their own way.

But no one noticed that at the moment when the tombstone was blown up, the puppet who was kicked aside suddenly opened its eyes!

The puppet at this moment, from the outside, is no longer disputed, it is a puppet made of wooden blocks and tenons.

But the moment the puppet opened his eyes, Xu Jie and I both felt intense anger.

We can easily feel that this violent emotion comes from a puppet who should have no soul, but has a life out of love for someone......
