023 Puppets

Next to the newly opened square, a busker was interacting with his string puppets.

Perhaps the busker was having a rough time, and the puppet was so dilapidated that it was impossible to see its original appearance.

But are the buskers really having a miserable life? Not necessarily! In this large square, there are still many tourists who buy into it, and it is not a problem to earn more than a thousand yuan a day.

This is very strange. Even if the busker has money, he is not willing to mend or buy a new string puppet... You know, this is an important prop for his work.

"Mom, why doesn't the owner of this puppet change it when it's so old?" A very cute little girl raised her head and asked her mother.

"Maybe she has feelings." After the little girl's mother said this, she hurriedly took the little girl away.

The little girl was very reluctant to let go, and she turned back in three steps to miss the puppet. Suddenly she saw the puppet's eyes moving, and she quickly pulled her mother's sleeve and shouted: "Mom, Mom! Its eyes are moving!"

"

"Maybe it's pulled by a wire, let's go quickly!" the little girl's mother said and speeded up, as if she was afraid of being caught by someone.

The little girl was dragged down by her mother and she had no chance to look back...

The busker was still interacting with the puppet, but the puppet's eyes never turned again.

"Let's go, we found it."

After saying this, the busker left the square with his puppets.

"Even if you run away to the ends of the earth, I will still find you. Jiejiejiejie...I won't let you go so easily then."

"I'm here, do you want your beloved little baby to take my place, or do you want to come with me yourself?"

"Jiejiejiejie...I said, you can't escape from my grasp."

"Ah -" the woman woke up from her dream, her back pressed tightly against the head of the bed, "Don't come over, don't come over! I've been free a long time ago, I've been free a long time ago!"

Her shouting woke up her daughter. The little girl rubbed her eyes and asked in confusion: "Mom...what's wrong?"

When the woman saw her daughter sitting up, she quickly reached out and held her in her arms, and shouted again: "We are all free, you can't take anyone away!"

"Oh? Are you sure?" The puppet suddenly appeared in front of the woman during the day, with a very strange voice.

The busker also walked over slowly, his hands covered with silk threads. No one knew how they got in, and no one knew what they were doing here.

"Long time no see, Yuan." The busker said.

The woman collapsed even more: "My line is broken... I am free! I am free!"

"You are free when the thread is cut? Yuan, you are too naive." The puppet mocked the woman.

"Mom, I'm afraid-" The little girl had never seen such a weird scene before, her little hands clutching her mother's arm.

The puppet doll turned its head and looked at the little girl: "Your child is quite cute, even cuter than me."

"Please let us go... Didn't we agree at the beginning that as long as the thread behind my back is cut, I will be free?" The woman suddenly knelt down on the bed and begged humbly.

"Didn't I let you live freely for so long? And you gave birth to such a lovely baby... You are really a great contributor. We can have a new member." The busker stepped forward and used his hands.

He raised the little girl's face and said, "Look, what a beautiful face!"

"Mom - wuwuwu...I'm scared!" the little girl cried in fear.

"I'm going with you, please let my child go!" the woman begged, tugging on the puppet's sleeve.

"Should I let your child go? Why didn't you let me go in the first place? I tell you, it's impossible. Jiejiejiejie..."

After saying this, the puppet doll released hundreds of silk threads from its sleeves and wrapped them around the little girl.

"Uh-" The little girl couldn't get away no matter what.

The woman bit her mouth and cut with scissors, but she could not break the thread. Then she rushed towards the puppet doll, but was tied up by the busker on the side...

"Ah -" the woman was going crazy. She had never felt so heartbroken before when she turned into a puppet. "Let go of my child! Let go of my child..."

"Why didn't you let me go back then?" The puppet released more threads and wrapped the woman in it.

After a long time, a brand new puppet doll was made.

The next day, two buskers pulled a huge puppet and performed in Xinkai Square. Everyone was impressed by their superb skills, and more money was thrown into the hat in front of the busker.
