Chapter 44: The Hunter Visits
A year later.
At dusk, the golden wheat field shone brightly, and a skeleton with blue hair and two children played there, as if they were playing cat and mouse, the skeleton was scratching, and the child was hiding.
After a year of getting along, I finally got to know the names of the two little ones, but what's the use of that? I can't make a sound!
Of course, I can communicate with the two little ones by writing.
The two little ones were running pretty fast in the wheat field, and although I could easily catch up, it didn't make them have a good time, so I just chased them as fast as I walked.
At last the two little ones lay tired on the wheat field, while I sat quietly beside them.
If I had a physical body, it would be a very heartwarming picture!
During the year, ninety-two of the hundred skeletons I sent out to look for animals had returned, and the remaining eight had not returned.
Maybe it's a hunter, or maybe it's really not finding an animal.
I pulled out a map from my storage ring, a map of my city. The war industry has not grown much in this year, and I haven't built that spaceship yet.
Five hours a day is really not good, especially these five hours are used for the construction of agriculture and animal husbandry.
Maybe when I was alive, these industries could make me money, and I was in this kind of industry. But now it's different! I'm a skeleton, those things are useless to me, and I don't have any money to make, as long as I can find it, I can easily get it.
Isn't that a step backwards?
I lay on the wheat field, and I often wondered, why should humanity progress?
It's for a better life, of course, but also for their laziness, and I'm not like that?
In my current situation, I am out of the hunger crisis and should be going in a higher direction, but what am I doing now? Build a farm for me, a skeleton who doesn't need to eat?
I looked at the little ones lying next to me, everything I was doing now was for them, but... Why? This question has been surrounding me.
There is no solution to this problem.
The two little guys next to the sound of "huh~" came with a snoring sound, and they looked tired and asleep.
I gently picked up the two children and slowly walked to the car parked by the wheat field.
And then I started to leave, and it was very leisurely and good to live like this, but could I really go on like this?
Driving back to the park, I picked up my two children and walked to the little castle.
Now that I've settled the two little ones, I'm going to do my job, and I'm going to have to get that spaceship right today!
Early the next morning.
I'm standing on the left wing of the ship, and the next thing I just have to do is install the propeller.
I counted the time, and the girl was coming.
Jiang Yuqin walked through the corridor and walked to the room that had been frequented for the past year.
This time she didn't hide in the doorway, but went in openly, standing next to the skeleton.
She was there with a notebook to record, and it looked so thick, but it was almost full of records.
It's a pity that I can't speak, otherwise I could have been her teacher.
My hands began to slow down so that she could keep track of it.
Silently, I installed the propellers, and the next thing was that it was time to test.
I reached out to take the girl's little hand, but she dodged it.
Forget it, she'll follow me.
I walked to the rear of the ship, opened the door and headed for the control room.
The girl followed me in and into the ship's control room.
I was in the driver's seat, and the girl was standing next to me.
Faced with the many manipulations in front of me, I pulled down the joystick.
"How can there be a wire!".
I suddenly noticed that there was a rope tied under the joystick, and I couldn't have found it without pulling the joystick.
Suddenly, I thought of a terrible result, and quickly pulled away from another white lever.
I saw that the glass in front of the spaceship began to rise, and I quickly picked up the girl with one hand, and then quickly rolled out of the opening that appeared after the glass rose (the rise height was not high, so I could only roll out).
"Book!" the girl shouted.
I fell to the ground with the baby in my arms, and then ran towards the factory gate without looking back.
"Boom~".
With a loud bang, there was a big explosion in front of the ship behind me, but luckily the aftermath of the explosion didn't affect me, but I had to run quickly.
Because I knew this factory was going to collapse!
The factory gate was not locked, but it was closed (the little girl and I came in through another door, which was a little far from here), I ran over and slapped my skeletal hand vigorously, the door opened a little, and I hurriedly rushed out with the girl in my arms.
At this time, the factory behind me had also collapsed, and I put the girl down and began to order all my skeletons to be guarded by the city wall.
I've had such a comfortable year! A hunter ran to my ship and planted a bomb and didn't find it.
I'm starting to go into lockdown, and the hunter may still be in my middle of life, and I'm going to find him.
I ordered a few skeletons to run to my side and follow me to search the city. The hunter wore a robe of avoidance, and ordinary skeletons could not sense his anger, nor could they see, but could sense his movements.
Jiang Yuqin watched the skeleton leave beside her, and through the explosion just now, she also knew that something was wrong.
She walked slowly back to the park, where her brother was still lying carefree on the grass basking in the sun, with a little cat lying beside him.
Jiang Yuqin walked to the stone chair and sat down, but he didn't expect that the book that had been recorded in the past year was gone.
At this moment, a figure jumped onto the wall of the park and made a little noise.
Jiang Yuqin immediately turned his head when he heard the voice, and saw a man in a green robe jumping off the wall.
"Who are you?" Jiang Yuqin asked at the man.
"Hmm, someone!" the man jumped to the ground and quickly turned his head to see Jiang Yuqin in the pavilion.
"It's still a child! How can there be a child here".
Jiang Yuqin stood up from the stone chair and ran in front of the person in three or two clicks.
"Are you a hunter?" she asked.
"I'm a hunter, but who are you, and why are you here?".
"Don't ask, can you go out and find some people?"
"Yes, but I can't get out now," the man said helplessly, those skeletons were all concentrated on the side of the city wall, although they said that they were hidden and angry, but those skeletons could still sense themselves, based on moving objects.
"Then I have a way to get you out," Jiang Yuqin said.
"What?" the man asked.
"Take off your robe and go out openly".
