Chapter 68: The Mask
Ren Xin and Shitou were walking side by side. Ren Xin saw various styles and colorful masks hanging on a tree not far away. It felt very novel, so he pulled Shitou and ran over to circle around the tree.
"What's going on? There are still masks hanging on the tree?" Ren Xin looked at the appearance of each mask in a playful way. Some were made to imitate the appearance of the animal, some were made into character masks that looked like actors, and some were made into character masks.
It's just a face-shaped mask with the eyes hollowed out, but it's colorful and different.
Shitou also looked at the masks and shook his head, "It's my first time seeing them too." He accidentally saw a fairy mask with a flower crown on its head that was as bright as fire. He couldn't help but reach out to touch it, but the mask suddenly moved its direction.
A human face appeared where Shitou stretched out his hand. Shitou was startled and took two steps back, causing Ren Xin to look at the face that suddenly appeared. He saw a pair of bright eyes on that face.
After spinning around in a circle, the branches were pushed aside, and a short middle-aged man walked out from behind the tree, grinning at Ren Xin and Shitou, "Which of your two guests do you like?"
It turned out that the man hiding in the tree was the owner of these masks. Ren Xin looked around the tree and saw no seats. She didn't know where this man came from. She was curious.
I went to lift the man out of the branches and found that under the cover of the overlapping branches, there was a huge tree hole. Perhaps it had been repaired by a businessman. The part inside the tree hole was like a spacious lounge chair, which looked very comfortable.
It seems that this man rests here when he has nothing to do.
The man selling the mask coughed slightly, and Ren Xin realized that it was a bit rude to look at someone else's exclusive tree hole without permission. She turned back and smiled, pushed the branch back to its original position, and grabbed a mask.
The man selling the mask looked at the mask in Ren Xin's hand, and the light in his eyes dimmed. He turned to the other side of the tree and took off a black and white mask and brought it over, "Does the girl like this one?"
"How do you say that?" Ren Xin looked at the black and white facial makeup in the man's hand, and then looked at the muddy solid color mask in his hand. I don't know why the man felt that the black and white facial makeup was more special.
Suitable for her?
"This facial mask is clear in black and white, which may be in line with the girl's personality. She can clearly distinguish between good and evil." The man smiled. Ren Xin took the mask and looked at it carefully, then chuckled, "The distinction between black and white is important, but...
I prefer such chaotic and simple colors. There is no such clear boundary between good and evil, good and evil. I think such chaotic and accommodating, black and white colors are more suitable for me. Only in this way can I go further and further on the road I want to take.
The further away.”
"It seems that the girl wants to take a path that is not simple. It's just that chaos is just a mask. Right and wrong are black and white. I'm afraid only you know whether you know it in your heart." The man looked at the chaotic picture in Ren Xin's hand.
Mask shook his head, "It seems that starting from today, this mask will change its owner."
Ren Xinyang looked at the mask in his hand, "The mask itself exists to conceal the truth, so why let it express the truth? Don't worry, it's in my hand, and I will definitely treat it well."
"The mask itself exists to conceal the truth..." The man repeated Ren Xin's words, thinking that this girl was very interesting, and then took away the black and white facial makeup in Ren Xin's hand and handed it to Shi Shi, "Then, this mask is indeed the best
It’s suitable for you, young master.”
Shitou was stunned for a moment and looked at the gorgeous mask that was within reach before, feeling confused, "How should I say it?"
"Why does this mask suit him so well?" Ren Xin came over in a funny way, leaning his head in to ask. The man didn't explain, he just said, "That mask is too flamboyant and not suitable for a young master."
Finally, Shi Shi took the black and white mask handed over by the man and asked how much it cost. The man held out two fingers and said, "Two cents." "What about this one?" Ren Xin saw the man selling the mask looking up at the stone.
, there was always something meaningful about the exchange of glances between the two people. She quickly held the mask in her hand and stood between the two of them, blocking their gazes. If they continued to look at each other like this, there was no chance that something would happen between these two people.
Come.
The man selling the mask looked at the mask in Ren Xin's hand and sighed with reluctance, "Since the girl is destined to it, let's give it to her like this. It's just that this mask is a bit old, so I hope she doesn't mind."
"It's okay, I like it. That's the most important thing." Ren Xin casually put the mask on his face. The mask was a bit too big, but the rope could be tied closer. Shitou paid two cents and talked with Ren Xin.
They left together. The man selling the mask looked up at the noon sun and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Ren Xin fiddled with the mask in his hand all the way. Shitou recalled the man selling the mask who seemed a bit mysterious. He always felt that he had the ability to see through people's hearts. He looked at Ren Xin who seemed to like the mask very much and couldn't help but wonder about Ren Xin.
Were Xin's words just casual or were they intentional, "Xin'er, do you think what the man just said made sense?"
"That's just a businessman pretending to trick us into buying masks. How can those words make sense?" Ren Xin said nonchalantly. It seemed that he didn't take the man's words to heart, "Listen.
I think it makes a lot of sense, or I happen to be thinking that way in your heart, but don’t you think it’s too desolate to use a mask to express the truth that you dare not express?”
After that, Ren Xin put the mask on her face, revealing only a pair of clear phoenix eyes, smiling at the stone. The stone looked steadily at Ren Xin's eyes, which were beautiful but could not see any emotion.
The smile didn't even reach your eyes. Did you already enter the character just by putting on the mask?
Looking at Ren Xin at this time, Shi Shi suddenly remembered what she said before, "The mask itself exists to conceal the truth..." If this is the case, it is really a perfect weapon. But, suddenly, Shi Shi felt
He couldn't see through the little woman in front of him...
"Xin'er, when can I walk into your heart?" Shitou thought. He put his arm around Ren Xin's shoulders and walked with her. Ren Xin raised her masked head and looked at her with a pair of phoenix eyes.
, "You are always in my heart."
Shitou smiled bitterly, reached out and straightened Ren Xin's head so that she could look forward, and whispered in her ear, "Next time you say this, remember to take off your mask. I'm very suspicious. If you say this,
Do you want me to believe it or not?" After all, there is Chu Qingchen between the two of them. As a bystander, he could clearly see the abnormal feeling between Ren Xin and Chu Qingchen. Although he didn't
He knew why Ren Xin would so easily promise to be with him because of his presence, but he was certain that when she saw Chu Qingchen again, Ren Xin would never be able to clearly say the words to reject Chu Qingchen.
.
"Before, you wouldn't have said such things." Ren Xin felt awkward about such a stone. He had always been a doting, responsible and carefree big brother, but now he just... Oh, how could she
She just lost her mind. She said that first, can she regret it?
Unknowingly, when two people were passing by a casino, a person was suddenly thrown out of the casino. By chance, he fell in front of Ren Xin's feet. Ren Xin didn't pay attention. He was frightened for a moment and took a step back to hit him.
In Shitou's arms, the two people who had been secretly sulking with their own thoughts suddenly felt better. Shitou hugged Ren Xin and avoided that person. He patted her on the back and asked her if she was okay. Ren Xin
Wave your hands and see what happens.
I saw that the man had just been thrown out, and then several people ran out from the casino, punching and kicking him again. Ren Xin frowned, and pulled the stone to leave, "Don't get into trouble, okay?
It's better to leave early." Shitou acquiesced, held Ren Xin's hand tightly, and pulled her away.
More and more people gathered around to watch the excitement. A little boy emerged from the crowd and happened to meet Shitou. Shitou grabbed Ren Xin and paused. He looked back at the little boy and saw the child running over in a hurry.
But he stopped a few steps away from the man who was beaten. Ren Xin pulled the stone strangely, "What's wrong? Why don't you leave?"
"That child, I remember, was the one who stole our money." Shitou looked at the child's figure, and he remembered it very clearly, because for him, it was a knot that he could not easily let go of.
The boy watched coldly as the group of people in the gambling shop waved their hands and left. After all the people watching the excitement had dispersed, the boy slowly stepped forward and looked down at the man who was covering his face and rolling on the ground in pain.
The humming man said in a cold voice, "You deserve it! Tell me, did you use the money for grandma's medical treatment?" The boy's two hands were clenched into fists, clenched tightly, and his body was shaking with excitement.
.
The man rolling on the ground covered his face with his hands and opened the small gap. Seeing that the people who beat him had left and the onlookers had dispersed, he sat up from the ground with a groan and glanced up at the angry man.
The boy touched his sore face with disdain, "That old woman can't be saved anyway. It's her blessing to be able to survive for a few days. Why waste money on her? Why not let me
Bring it to the casino and play a few games, and wait until I turn the tables..."
As he said that, the man seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly grabbed the boy's arm and grinned at him so disgustingly, "Zhan Yue, do you still have ten taels of silver on you? Give it to the elder brother, and wait for the elder brother to turn it over.
If you want to buy a house, my eldest brother will go buy a house and then..."
"Bet, bet, bet...you know how to gamble!" Zhan Yue opened the man's hand and pushed him back. The man fell down with a sudden weight. The boy bit his lip and stared stubbornly at the man's fleshy cheeks.
