The old things I repaired have become fine

Chapter 15: My Pinocchio is dirty? Nonsense!
"Uh, Mr. Shen, if you want to sell the furniture in your house, you'd better be cautious..."

Gu Yulin wanted to say, "These things are contaminated with evil spirits. If a normal person keeps them at home and uses them for a long time, even if they only have one, bad things may happen. It is recommended not to sell them." However, he couldn't say it directly to ordinary people, so he had to hint in a roundabout way. Shen Le smiled:

"Of course, of course. They are all antiques. If I want to sell them, I will sell them at auction. Well, I won't sell them casually, don't worry."

The two "Cultural Bureau staff" hesitated to speak. They followed Shen Le through the sedan chair hall, the main hall, and into the third workshop.

When they saw the puppet lying on the workbench, which had just been made up and threaded, but not yet dressed, their eyes lit up at the same time. They rushed forward, some took pictures, some took rulers to measure, and some even took out some kind of instrument that Shen Le didn't recognize, pointed it at the puppet, and turned it on -

"Di-"

The sharp alarm sound instantly tore through the silence of the workshop.

The two "Cultural Bureau staff members" stood up straight with serious expressions.

"Mr. Shen, for your safety, we suggest that you hand this puppet over to us."

"what?!"

Shen Le raised his eyes and stared at the two people vigilantly. From childhood to adulthood, he has always been cautious and fearful of people with special responsibilities, and kept a distance from them.

His grandfather warned him since he was young:

"Le Le, you can't disbelieve what the higher-ups say, but you can't believe it all. Back then, someone said that 95% of people were good, and then someone down there wanted to catch the 5%...

My father, your great grandfather, was the principal at the time. He looked at all the faculty and staff in the school and found that they were all good. Your great grandfather was a good person, stupid! He just reported his name..."

"And then?" Little Shen Le didn't know what happened in the past, but listened quietly with bright eyes. Grandpa's voice suddenly became shrill:

"And then he was knocked down! And then, that good man... was gone!"

Now, two inexplicable staff members came to his door and asked him to hand over the puppet? !

What a joke!
"Mr. Shen, I wonder if you know something... uh, something beyond the normal human's comprehension. Simply put, you, the puppet, may have been contaminated by something bad..."

"No way!"

Shen Le's voice suddenly became louder. Humph, slandering my Pinocchio?

"Mr. Shen, we are members of the Special Affairs Department, specializing in handling abnormal events that ordinary people cannot understand or even recognize." Gu Yulin flipped his hand and took out a work permit, and pushed it in front of Shen Le. Ignoring the shocked and accusing look of the young policeman, he continued:
"We have been investigating similar incidents. Recently, we found that the child's jump from the building might have something to do with the puppet..."

"Child? What happened to the child?"

Shen Le turned his head and looked at the policeman. Shi Guangbing smiled bitterly:

"The child woke up and kept crying. We heard him say several times that he missed his little sister and wanted to play with her... According to investigation, the 'little sister' he mentioned might be the puppet you picked up..."

"He's just a kid, maybe he just misses his toys." Shen Le tried to refute. Gu Yulin took a step forward, the hem of his Tang suit fluttering, and held up the instrument that Shen Le didn't recognize to show him:

"Look, the reading on this instrument is usually below 10 for normal objects, but your puppet has exceeded 1000..."

Shen Le didn't listen, rushed forward two steps, and hugged the puppet. He turned around, stuffed it into the box, and locked it with a click:
"Impossible! This puppet has been repaired by me since I picked it up, and it has never left my place!"

He took the key in his hand, put it in his pocket, stepped forward, leaned over, and stared at the other person: "Not a single part, at all!"

"Well, we are just eliminating possible dangers." Gu Yulin smiled. Although they have public office, they cannot immediately rob others' things - except in special circumstances, such as "there is a real and imminent danger." Otherwise, they can only collect evidence, go back and follow the procedures, and come again...

"No danger!" Shen Le said with a sullen face. My little wooden puppet, brought by his master, risked his life to promote the anti-Japanese war and sang praises to the anti-Japanese heroes in the Japanese-occupied areas. Such a little wooden puppet could never be a dirty thing and could never harm the children of the previous owner!
Seeing Shen Le's firm attitude, the two new Maoshan Taoist priests looked at each other with difficulty. The baby-faced boy Zhang Bingxin still wanted to struggle:
"We are from the Special Affairs Department. For your safety..."

"I'm safe!" Shen Le said loudly:

"Pinocchio is also safe! Don't worry about it!"

What a joke! My copper piece, my puppet that can reflect memory, which one can I show to others? If they snatch it away, it will be a huge loss!

"Well, Mr. Shen, please understand..."

"I don't understand and I won't cooperate. The puppet was abandoned by its owner - it was thrown from a high altitude - and then I picked it up. It is my personal property. I don't want to give it to you. If you want to snatch it away, you can ask the court to come to my door." Shen Le opened his arms and pushed them out.

The two new Maoshan Taoist priests tried to push him back. However, Shen Le's strength was unexpectedly great, and they were pushed two steps forward without being careful. The two of them quickly took a horse stance and tried to move forward, but Shen Le had already shouted:

"Please get out!"

With a loud shout, the strange instrument in Gu Yulin's hand and the cell phone in Zhang Bingxin's hand whistled at the same time. The two Maoshan Taoists turned pale and their breathing paused for a moment:
That shout, to their ears, didn't sound like a human voice, but rather a heavy, grand sound like a huge bell. And at that moment, the spiritual pressure that came over them almost made them think that they were facing an ancient monster!
The baby-faced young man Zhang Bingxin took two steps back and held onto the door frame with his backhand to avoid falling. Gu Yulin was older than him and had stronger cultivation. In his busy schedule, he still had time to glance at the data on the instrument:
At that moment just now, the measured spiritual pressure reached an extremely high peak, almost pressing the previous wave line into a straight line close to the ground!

escape!
Run away!
Being able to restrain his spiritual pressure so well and then burst it to such a peak value all at once, this person must be either a great demon or a master! Before he gets angry and beats us up, run!

However, with such a great person around, a mere puppet shouldn't be able to make any waves... I can only hope so...

The two retreated in panic. Shi Guangbing smiled apologetically at Shen Le and followed him out:

"I'm sorry, I really don't know them..."

"It's okay, we are all workers." Shen Le comforted him. After a pause, he couldn't help but ask again:
"By the way, how's the kid?"

"…Not very good." The young policeman was silent for a moment:
“I heard he might become paralyzed.”

Shen Le also followed in silence. A child, a primary school kid, no matter what the reason, jumped off the building, might be paralyzed, might lose his whole life... Just hearing about it makes people feel uncomfortable.

Now that things have come to this, let's eat first. Shen Le filled his stomach, returned to the house, and continued to repair the puppet. He selected the wood, sawed the board, drilled holes in the board one by one according to the points designed in advance, and threaded the silk thread. He picked it up, observed, adjusted, and recorded. He changed a new board, drilled holes again, and threaded the silk thread again...

After repeated adjustments and experiments, he finally made a suitable control panel. Shen Le was very excited and polished it, painted it, and threaded it...

"Ah, the clothes have arrived too! Pinocchio, once you put on the clothes, you'll be a puppet that can perform on stage!"

Gorgeous clothes, gorgeous makeup. Shen Le held the control panel flat with his left hand, shook it gently, and pulled the silk thread with his right hand. The puppet really moved as expected, moving forward, backward, raising his hands, and stepping. Shen Le couldn't help but smile, lowered his head, pulled out the copper sheet, and looked at it carefully:

Yeah!

The changes in the copper piece this time are very obvious!
