Chapter 24: I Want to See the Moon with You
I thought it was going to be done, and the next thing was to take Master and Fu Jiangming home, and then have one more family member of the Thousand Bone King.
However, the wood-like Thousand Bone King actually threw out an important proposition at this time.
"But the family you're talking about...... Is your grandmother your family member? He asked.
I didn't realize the deep meaning of the ignorance in his words, so I nodded without hesitation, "Of course." ā
"Do you love her, then?" He asked again.
"Love." I replied.
His face sank instantly, "Then I don't want to be your family, you love me more than one." ā
For a moment, I froze in place.
Although he doesn't understand anything, he understands the complex characteristics of family love from simple relationships.
"I can't say that, once we become family, we don't distinguish between each other and the importance of each other......" I'm still trying to seduce him.
He shook his head firmly, "It's not me, I don't want it." ā
Then he jumped off the lid of the coffin and disappeared into the dark underground winding tunnel.
The Thousand Bone King has gone, and he hasn't come back for a long time.
It's dark, I don't know if it's day or night, so I can't tell if it's two days, three days or four days.
There will be some roasted rabbits and pheasants at the door at regular intervals, as well as clean water, to ensure that Master and I are alive, but there is no one who can see the Thousand Bones King.
I tried to sneak out, but often before I had even taken a hundred steps in the winding path, a skeleton stopped me.
I also tried to untie Master's ropes, but I didn't expect that it was not an ordinary thing at all, and I couldn't get anything out of it.
I don't know how long it has been, but when I was lying drowsy on the lid of the coffin of the Thousand Bones King, I suddenly heard familiar footsteps.
Because skeletons can't walk like people, making regular and ground-close sounds, I woke up as soon as I could, it must be the Thousand Bones King who is back!
He didn't know where he had gone these days by controlling Fu Jiangming's body, and when he came back, he was holding a bunch of bright red yarn and a package in his hand.
I looked closer, and it was the same as the clothes I had seen him wear for the first time.
Now that he has used Fu Jiangming's body, the original pile of skeletons covered with red yarn doesn't know where they went.
He divided the red yarn into two piles, one for me and one for himself.
"I went out and asked, you all get married, you have to wear red clothes, and you have to eat red sugar."
He opened the package, and it turned out to be all kinds of candy.
Looking at his dusty appearance, I don't know how he asked, let alone the source of these things.
He was a soul made of bones, but at this time he accidentally blushed, "I, after I became conscious, I like to wear red, maybe, maybe it's just to marry you." ā
Then he said intermittently: "Don't be afraid, I think about it." I'm still going to marry you, but I won't hurt you! I won't suck your soul and vitality, and you won't die soon like them......"
I really didn't know what to say, so I held back a sentence for a long time, "When are you going to marry me?" ā
He pointed to the top of his head, "When the moon is full, when the moon is full, can I borrow the red thread of the underworld marriage from the sky." ā
"And how long is the full moon?" That's what I care about.
"It's today." He spread the extra red yarn on the coffin, and actually controlled Fu Jiangming's face, smiled stiffly, and said stupidly: "Good looking......"
He smiled strangely, not at all natural. The curvature of the corners of my mouth was so small that I could barely tell that it was a laugh, it looked funny and weird, but I felt very sad.
"Thousand Bone King, I don't want to marry you." I'll be honest.
A hint of panic suddenly appeared in his eyes, "Why?" ā
"There's no why, just don't want to. I'm a normal person with my own thoughts, and if I don't want to, I don't want to! ā
I said very simply, "You can kill me, or use me as cultivation material and kill me step by step...... But I can't love you, and you get nothing in return from me! ā
The Thousand Bone King slowly lowered his head, seemingly sad.
When I was a little self-blaming, he suddenly raised his head, his eyes flashing with hope again, "It's okay...... I love you. ā
Me: "......"
I can't reason with him at all.
Without saying a word, I sat on his coffin board, and he draped the red veil over himself in a mess.
Then I brought it over to me again, and I couldn't stand this completely messy technique, so I did it myself, and neatly draped it over my coat.
He is very capable of learning, and he imitates me, and pulls the messy red yarn on his body neatly and smoothly.
After doing all this, he took the candy to my master tied up next door, and fiercely fed a whole candy into my master's mouth, "Eat!" ā
I grabbed him, "You have to peel the candy wrapper, well, this is the thing you can eat." ā
Naturally, Master knew what it was, so he turned his head and refused to eat it.
I smiled miserably, "No way, Master, this elm pimple has to marry me." Alas, but it's okay, I finally picked up two lives......"
I suddenly thought of Fu Jiangming, who was possessed, and asked the Thousand Bone King: "Hey, you have been attached for so long, Fu Jiangming, this kid won't be dead, right?" ā
The Thousand Bone King shook his head, "It's just that my bone soul is temporarily on the top and suppresses his human soul, and he won't die." ā
"That's good." I answered.
Master refused to eat the candy that I and the Thousand Bone King had to feed, so I had to feed it to myself.
The Thousand Bone King stared at me, "Is it delicious?" ā
"You don't know if you eat it yourself, anyway, you have a physical body now." I was busy thinking about what to do, I couldn't really marry a skeleton.
There was no way to see Master like this, so I had to walk out slowly, not wanting Master to get bored of looking at it.
Alas, what a head two big.
"IāI want to go out with you to see the moon."
Who would have thought that the Thousand Bone King, who scared me at first glance, was now talking to me with a shy posture that avoided me.
I glanced at him, this Thousand Bone King, who had a lot of force, but he didn't understand the world at all, and I didn't see at all that I just wanted to escape from him now.
Looking at his hopeful eyes, I was still defeated.
What's this called...... I looked at the Thousand Bone King who was stumbling and silly running in front of me.
The mass graves are huge, except for the area in the center, which is full of littered bones, and most of the places are just desolate bald hills.
The further you go, the more lush the trees become.
But it is always as lush as the towering trees outside, probably due to the influence of the resentment of the mass grave.
The cold moonlight hit the bare ground, and although there were no bones, it also looked desolate and desolate, making people feel cold.
