Listening to the chaotic sounds in her ears, Su Zhen finally opened her eyes.
Looking around, she saw a room full of people looking at her with all sorts of strange looks.
'What are you talking about? What scarecrow?'
'Why hasn't anyone paid attention to me yet?'
'Can anyone hear my voice? Mr. Dongli? Mr. Dongli? Mo Shen?!'
However, they seemed unable to hear her voice and were still discussing seriously.
"Mr. Gu, why don't you say anything? With Hazel like this, can he still be saved? The flood is still under control, but unexpectedly, strange diseases have appeared and officials and bandits who want to rob disaster relief funds have appeared. Now, there are even more people gathering together.
Scarecrows keep appearing like scarecrows. I guess it will be our turn next time.”
"Okay, Yinchen, stop being so cunning," Yang Huanzhi scolded.
Shangyu Chen had been sitting next to him. After hearing this, he rubbed his sore and swollen eyes, took a few sips of tea from the guard to refresh himself, and said in a tired voice, "Mr. Tang's words are not rude, but Gu.
Jiang, have you thought of any good ideas?"
Gu Yunshu put his hand on A Zhan's shoulder, patting his back from time to time to comfort him. He raised his eyes and looked at the man holding the scarecrow carefully. Just like the silver-gray clothes on his body, his whole person exuded a deep sense of joy.
Melancholy, eyes dim and dull.
"Ahong, where did you pick up this scarecrow?" Gu Yunshu asked.
Before dawn today, everyone planned to set off for the main city of Jiangdu, but before setting off, Xiao Chuhong came back... and he also brought a scarecrow with him.
The young general who once led three powerful men on the battlefield was like an idiot and couldn't let go of a scarecrow. And like a madman, he kept calling the scarecrow Su Zhen.
'Scarecrow? Am I a scarecrow?'
Su Zhen raised her hand in surprise, and sure enough, her body turned translucent. She tried to control her body, but to no avail.
'What's going on? Is my soul locked? Where's Yueniang? Where's Chu Moxuan? What did the three of them do to me?'
She closed her eyes to sense Yuanzhu, but the strange sensory fluctuations were still there, and Mo Shen, who had formed a life-and-death contract with her, also noticed the movement.
"Eh? Yes, yes! There is movement! The young master is really in the scarecrow!"
Hearing Mo Shen's happy figure, everyone unanimously looked at the palm-sized scarecrow in Xiao Chuhong's hand.
Balls of red mist continued to fill the air from inside, and they saw the little scarecrow slowly twisting its body, breaking free from Xiao Chuhong's hands, and standing up from his arms...
'Eh? Your feet seem soft?'
Su Zhen jumped up and down twice, and when she noticed the burning gaze from behind, she turned her head in confusion, and saw that it was that familiar face.
"fox?!"
Ever since she remembered what happened with Chu Moxuan and learned about the past, her hatred and resentment towards him were not that deep.
It was as if she was not the one who would gnash her teeth with hatred whenever she mentioned that fox, wanting to tear it to pieces.
"Zhen Zhen, it's me, I'm back."
Su Zhen, who had turned into straw, listened to his voice, and her endless thoughts fell into his half-cold, half-warm eyes. The excitement was indescribable, and she turned her Yuanzhu, and with her small body, she pounced upwards and landed directly on the
On Xiao Chuhong's shoulders.
The horrified expressions on everyone's faces were surprisingly unanimous. As they watched Xiao Chuhong raise his hand to his shoulder, the scarecrow understood what he meant and jumped into his hand.
He took out a silver-blue hairband with his left hand and tied it around the scarecrow's body, as if... it was giving it a new layer of clothing.
Tang Yinchen leaned on the chair carelessly, watching the man and the scarecrow looking at each other as if there was no one around, and suddenly felt a chill. He pulled Yang Huanzhi's sleeve and wiped his hands vigorously, still feeling goosebumps.
Lose.
"What the hell? How can this thing still move? Can it make a squeak?"
Tang Yinchen stretched out his finger and wanted to poke the 'scarecrow', but saw her jump from Xiao Chuhong's hand to the table.
"Can someone please give me a mirror?"
Su Zhen stood on the table with her hands on her hips, looking very funny. Her palm-sized body, her whole body turned into straw. She shook her head, and a pair of bright eyes suddenly appeared, and then, her straw-shaped facial features quickly appeared...
...
Everyone was shocked and turned to stone one after another.
After Shangyu Chen came to his senses, he put his forehead on his forehead and sighed, then waved his hand. Immediately, a guard went to get a mirror.
"..."
Su Zhen looked at herself in the mirror face to face, choked and silent. She waved her hand to the mirror and turned it back and forth more than ten times before standing still in place.
After a few breaths, she heard a 'bang' sound, and she suddenly fell straight backwards, lying on the old wooden table with her arms stretched out.
Tang Yinchen blinked and suddenly howled like a ghost... "Wow! Hazelnut? Hazelnut! You can't die!"
The innocent A-Zhan believed his words and started crying too.
Everyone looked at them with black lines on their heads, knowing that Yang Huanzhi covered Tang Yinchen's mouth with a speechless expression and dragged him aside.
It took Su Zhen a long while to accept the fact that she had turned into a scarecrow inexplicably.
Listening to A Zhan's cry, she scratched her head in confusion and got up from the table again.
Looking at that naive young man, I felt like I was in another world.
"Azhan, don't cry, I'm here."
Although the gentle voice came from the mouth of a scarecrow, everyone felt a sense of warmth inexplicably, which was completely different from the embarrassment, strangeness and awkwardness that Su Zhen felt when facing A-Zhan last night.
A Zhan looked at the scarecrow stupidly, moved his lips, and a familiar feeling filled his heart. Just as he was about to speak, Su Zhen's voice reached his ears first.
'Azhan, from now on, my aunt will always be with you and never leave you behind again.'
"...."
A Zhan's eyes shone with tears, and his tears fell one by one like broken pearls.
Aunt? Only Jinse will remember that she emphasized to him over and over again that he should call her 'aunt', not 'sister'.
"You...do you remember me?"
"Well!" Su Zhen swallowed back all the words, "I told you not to cry, why are you disobedient?"
Su Zhen jumped onto A Zhan's shoulder and raised her hand to wipe away A Zhan's tears, but his tears fell into the arm made of straw.
Although A-Zhan had part of his spiritual consciousness taken away, he was not really stupid. He knew very well that there were only a handful of people in the world who could truly rely on him, and the most important one was the woman in front of him.
Gu Yunshu covered her lips and coughed, "Zhen'er, why did you become like this?"
"I...I...I seem to have fallen into many illusions. I seem to have been to the Winged Mermaid Tribe, and I also met a...mermaid?!"
