Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Little Girl Who Rented Her Body

The ferryman took the boat to the other side, and then packed up the boat himself, and ignored the four of them, even when they disembarked, as if they did not see it.

There's still fog ahead.

The four of them walked in the direction of the Corpse Puppet Country, and it didn't take long for the fog to finally clear the fog and a street appeared in front of them.

The Corpse Puppet Country has no city walls, but the whole city is neat to the extreme, and the buildings made of huge stones make up the main body of the city, including the road under your feet, all of which are smooth stones. It gives people a strange beauty.

It's completely different from what the name of the dealer imagined. The street in front of me is not lifeless, but has a different kind of life, many shops on both sides of the street are full of people, many of them have men in front of the shops to solicit customers, and the road is nearly 30 meters wide and there are constantly vehicles similar to horse-drawn carriages passing by.

It was a handsome and tall animal, very similar to a horse, but with a red horn on its forehead, and cold black metal scales on its body, but it did not look hideous, but felt very close to people.

On both sides of the road are all kinds of pedestrians, they are not in a hurry, but most of them have a strong sense of purpose, and are not easily attracted by the various shops on both sides, but occasionally when they are moved, they will not hesitate to turn around.

Zhou Yun, who was beside him, looked at the crowded street, muttering, not knowing what he was talking about. Zhao Xue'er's face turned a little pale, and she looked at it for a while and lowered her head. Lian Xiao didn't seem to care, but the occasional tremor in his throat showed his inner uneasiness.

Although the street in front of them seemed like a picture of a harmonious and prosperous society, the four of them knew that everything they saw in front of them, whether it was a man or a woman, a child or an old man, was actually a cold corpse.

Ninety-thousand-year-old corpse!

It's uncomfortable to think about.

But since Du is here, it is impossible to regret it, Zhuang Ming was about to go in to take a look, but found that someone behind him seemed to be grabbing his robe.

Subconsciously turned around, but was suddenly startled by the scenery behind him, the original thick fog had disappeared, and the ferryman and the Huangquan ferry were nowhere to be seen, as if they had never appeared.

"Big brother, big brother?"

A childish voice brought Zhuang Ming back to his senses, and he looked down to see a little girl of five or six years old. The girl looked very delicate, like a doll, wearing a somewhat tattered red dress, but the girl looked very clean all over her body, but her face was a little pale, but her spirit did not look like she was sick.

Her eyes are extraordinarily large, very smart, watery, and her pupils reflect the shadow of Zhuang Ming, feeling full of hope. She gently tugged at the corner of Zhuang Ming's clothes, and her face began to have a pleading look.

Zhuang Mingleng paused, then squatted down, looked at the little girl and said, "Are you calling me?"

The little girl nodded.

"Big brother, this is the money I saved, all for you. ”

The little girl took out a small bag from her arms and carefully opened it in front of Zhuang Ming's eyes, her eyes were a little reluctant, but in the end she gritted her teeth and sent it all to Zhuang Ming's front.

Zhuang Ming took a curious look, and there were some metals inside, which were of different colors, white, black, purple, and orange. Like a handicraft, the size of a green jujube, with six horns, a six-pointed star distribution, and an imperial carving on it, exactly the same as the carving on the previous giant tower.

At this time, Zhou Yun Lianxiao and Zhao Xue'er also turned around and saw this strange scene in front of them.

Lian Xiao frowned, and couldn't help but pull the name of Zhuang and said, "Don't make extraneous branches." ”

"Don't worry, it's okay. ”

Zhuang Ming smiled and shook his head, he looked at the little girl full of expectations and asked, "Why are you giving me money?"

A hesitant look flashed in the little girl's eyes when she heard this, but she quickly mustered up her courage.

"I want to ...... I want to rent your body. ”

"What did you say!"

Zhuang Ming was startled, he looked at the little girl and felt his heart beat faster.

Such a small little girl......

Zhou Yun smiled and Zhao Xue'er looked at the little girl in front of them with a shocked expression.

Everyone's faces turned pale with fright, what the hell has become of this corpse puppet country, even such a little girl would do this?

Seeing Zhou Yun's surprised expression, the little girl hurriedly spoke, "Big brother, I know I don't have enough money, but this is all my money." ”

The little girl's eyes were red, her voice was a little choked, she looked at Zhuang Ming almost pleadingly, "They prohibit child labor, people like me who don't grow up will never have the opportunity to get a job, so I don't have the money to buy an adult body, but I really want to grow up, I really want to see the adult world, I have been a child for too long, I beg you big brother, rent me your body, even if it is for a day, I will continue to save money in the future, and I will give you all my money until it is enough." ”

The little girl kept wiping away her tears as she spoke.

Only then did Zhuang Ming understand that the little girl's 'renting' body should mean a temporary exchange of bodies.

Zhou Yun Lianxiao and Zhao Xue'er, who were gathered on the side, also breathed a sigh of relief, but then they were amazed by the girl's story.

They all knew that all the people in the city had been 'living' for 90,000 years, but they didn't expect that this so-called life was like a pause in life, the baby was still a baby, the child was still a child, and everyone would not change in any way. Everyone has different pains.

The little girl in front of you is a living example.

Never growing up is not a kind of torment.

Zhou Yun couldn't help but speak, "What about your parents, won't they help you?"

The others nodded their heads when they heard this, and they should ask her parents for help with such a thing.

However, the little girl looked up at Zhou Yun suspiciously, and only after a while did she speak, "Parents, who is that, why is he helping me?"

Zhou Yun was dumbfounded, and then everyone understood.

Ninety thousand years is too long, and any human emotion may have been worn out. Ninety thousand years ago, the girl may have had parents, but as the years passed, those who were originally close to them chose to leave.

No one can keep love and go through the long years.

Zhuang Ming looked at the still innocent little girl in front of him and felt pity in his heart. Perhaps only these children who are easy to forget their memories can keep their hearts in the long years and not completely collapse.

He looked at the pedestrians coming and going on the street in front of him, and learned more about the corpse puppet nation.

There is another chapter that is estimated to be a little later.
