"I was born into a tribe on the steppe. The fawn's voice is sharp and crisp, telling of his simple past: "I have lived with my parents since I was a child, and since I can remember, I have been grazing on the grassland with my parents every day, and that life is so happy." ”

"When was that?" Catherine asked softly, "How many years is it in the continental calendar?"

"I don't know. The fawn's voice sounded dazed, and the mandible clicked: "What is the continental calendar, how many years, and what does it mean?"

"Uh, don't you know?" Catherine was stunned for a moment, and smiled helplessly: "It's okay, but do you remember which tribe you used to be in? ”

"A tribe is a tribe. The fawn scratched his skull, and his voice became even more dazed: "I remember that there were many big tents in the tribe, and there were many uncles and aunts. Let me tell you, one day the big dog caught such a big gopher, and several of us discussed sneaking out at night to roast it and eat it together, but the big dog's stupid guy was found when he stole salt from the house, haha, his parents beat him up......"

Catherine did not interrupt the little skeleton's memories of these trivial events, and several people listened to a small skeleton happily telling interesting stories about their childhood, but a faint sadness could not help but rise in their hearts.

"That's amazing. A woman's heart is always extraordinarily soft, and when the fawn's memories finally came to an end, Catherine's smile became gentler, gently caressing the fawn's bare skull. The little skeleton seemed to be able to feel this touch, and actually made a snoring sound in comfort.

"I envy you. Anne sat beside the little skeleton with her hands on her knees, blinked her eyes and said: "When I was a child, I lived with my grandmother every day, and the rest of the time I studied with the teachers, and I rarely had time to go out to play. ”

"Hmph, now you know how good I am. The deer snorted proudly, leaned back at his skull and said, "Next time I will take you to the grassland to play, and I will catch insects for you to show you." ”

"Okay, okay. Anne's translucent little face was filled with an expectant smile, as if she was fantasizing about what it would be like to run on the prairie.

"Click. Vivien's pen in her hand was suddenly and unconsciously broken, and the faces of the others were also very ugly. Everyone knows very well that if nothing else, whether it is a little banshee or a little skeleton, I am afraid that it will be difficult to have the opportunity to play and play like ordinary children again. But no one said it, and no one could bear to destroy the only fantasy and dream of the two undead who were still children.

"Little deer. Pannis knew that things could not continue like this, so he could only intervene as a villain and interrupt the children's communication: "What happened later? What did you ...... How did it come to this?"

"Later?" "Later?" The fawn's excited soul fire suddenly dimmed, his skull drooped, and his voice became very low: "Later, I got sick, and my parents took me to meet several wizard grandfathers, but the grandfathers failed to cure me. They said that this is the call of the ancestors, and I will return to the side of the ancestors. But I don't want to see my ancestors at all, I don't want my parents, and I don't want to give up the big dogs and bears. I still want to play with them, and I also want to graze with my parents, three teeth were frostbitten in the winter, and I don't know if they got better, and the broken horn suddenly stopped producing milk, and my parents couldn't sleep well for several nights because of this, worried that I wouldn't have the strength to drink without milk. Oh, by the way, I'm dead, they shouldn't have to worry anymore. ”

"Whew. Catherine exhaled heavily, blinked violently, held the slender and hard hand bones of the little skeleton and said, "Good boy, don't talk about this, tell me what will happen after you wake up." ”

"Yes. Xiaolu nodded, tilted his head and thought about it, and said: "I woke up forty-seven years ago, well, it should be forty-seven years, I remember that the grass was dry and green, a total of forty-seven times. ”

"Well, that's forty-seven years. Pannis saw that the others were not in the right state, so he took the initiative to reply.

"Well, actually, when I woke up, I knew that I was dead, that I had become a skeleton. The fawn was well aware of his state and continued: "When I woke up, I remember that I was outside in the mountains, it was night, and it was so dark, but I could see everything. And I noticed that there were quite a few skeletons like me moving around. I was a little scared and wanted to go back to my mom and dad, but I didn't know the way and wanted to ask the people around me for directions, but they ignored me and didn't react at all, so I just walked around. ”

Their reaction scared me even more, so I sneaked out of the mountains. After I went out, I found out that I was in the holy mountain, but fortunately, I used to occasionally come to play near the holy mountain with my friends, and I knew the way, so I could follow the direction to find the former tribe. However, when I went back, I found that the tribe was gone, and the previous location of the tribe was only an empty meadow, and there was nothing else, and at first I thought I was going the wrong way, but after a few circles around, it must be right to determine the location, and I don't know where the tribe migrated to. ”

"Later, I cried for a while at the location of my tent and decided to look around and see if there were any other aunts and uncles who could know where the tribe had gone. It was dawn, so I walked around the holy mountain, and sure enough, I met a few aunts who came out to graze. I gladly wanted to go and ask, but when they saw me turn around and ran, I tried to tell them but I found that I couldn't make a sound, so I could only chase after them, but the more I chased them, the faster I ran, and I couldn't catch up with them when they were on horseback. ”

"I really couldn't catch up, I had to give up, and continued to walk around the holy mountain, and then I ran into a few uncles, this time they didn't run, but rushed up and beat me, although the fight didn't hurt, but I was so scared that I couldn't speak, so I had to start running away. As I ran, I found that I met more and more people, and more and more people chased and beat me, and one or two of them had uncles who hit me and made me feel painful. I found that I had nowhere to run but to run towards the Holy Mountain, and strange to say, as soon as I ran back to the range of the Holy Mountain, they stopped chasing me. ”

"After I hid back in the holy mountain, I sneaked out a few more times, but each time it was the same, people either turned away in fear when they saw me, or rushed up and hit me, and they reacted the same way every time. That's when I realized that I was the way I was now, the most unwelcome outside. ”

"The last time I ran out, I met a man who hit me so hard that he almost broke my arm, and I was afraid that I would meet that person again, so I didn't dare to go out again, and I hid in this valley every day. I remember that in the past, every year the wizard grandfather would bring everyone here to worship, and then when he went back, there would be a lot of delicious food. I thought, I'm waiting here, maybe one day the uncles and aunts in the tribe will come back and come here again to worship, then I can see everyone. ”

However, after more than ten years, I gradually understood. The little skeleton sighed humanely, supported his jaw with his hand bones, and said abruptly: "It should have been many, many years before I woke up, the tribe is long gone, and my parents should have died of old age, I wonder if they will become like me?"

"And I'm slowly understanding that these skeletons around me are actually completely different from me. The fawn touched one of the bone knights under his control and said, "They don't know anything, they don't react, they just walk around every day." I finally learned that I was the only one in this valley and that I could control some of the skeletons. ”

"Then I hid like this for forty-seven years, I didn't have to eat every day, I woke up and walked around, then I sat down in a daze, and when I was tired, I just lay down and went to sleep. But I felt so bored, no one to play with, no one to talk to me, I could only control a few skeletons, pretend that they were the same as me, and control them to talk to myself. ”

"Since last year, there have been more and more skeletons that can move here, and new skeletons are appearing every day, and I can't even recognize them. But I'm glad that when there are more of them, I'll be able to meet another skeleton like me. It's a pity that there isn't, not one. ”

"All this time, no one dared to come in, but since this winter, some people have broken in from the outside. I was afraid that they would beat me again, so I hid here myself, and then controlled the other skeletons to watch them from afar, only to see that they were constantly beaten by the skeletons outside, and finally they all died. After a while, another group of people came, but it wasn't long before they were killed by the skeletons outside. I'm scared, those skeletons are crazy, they used to just spin around, they have never been so crazy, I don't know what's going on, I'm afraid that those skeletons will see me fighting so crazy, so I don't dare to go out, control them to leave this valley far away, and then hide themselves in the belly of a skeleton that looks very powerful, I think it's safer. ”

"In the end, it's this sister. The fawn pointed at Marcia and said, "This sister frightened me a few days ago, and it was the first time I saw someone rushing here." But my sister didn't rush in in the end, and she retreated before halfway through, but fortunately, it was okay. ”

"Hey, you little one. Marcia didn't get angry, and knocked on the little skeleton's skull very calmly: "Are you so happy to see me fleeing so embarrassed?"

"Hey, hey. The little skeleton rubbed its skull and smirked.

"Is you the only one here with a special skeleton?" asked Pannis, frowning, "Nothing else?"

"Well, definitely not. The little skeleton said, "If there had been one, I would have found out." ”

"That's weird. Pannis mused, "Do you remember the Bone Knight who suddenly came out of the dirt and attacked? That kind of tactic is not like this little creature can do." ”

"I did it. Xiaolu said proudly: "Yesterday, I saw a big sister in the mountains from afar, and I beat another strange person in this way, I thought it was so powerful, so I learned to do it once." ”

"Big sister?" Catherine was stunned, "Is there anyone else?

"Nope. The fawn shook his head: "They climbed the mountain from the other side to enter the holy place inside, and they didn't pass through here." ”

"Well, when they went over the mountain, you didn't do the same to me as before. Pannis made a stone-throwing motion: "Hit them with a stone?"

"Nope. The fawn hung his head and said, "The mountain they climbed from the other side will not pass here, so I will ignore them, but just watch from a distance for a while." ”

"Did they go in, then?" asked Catherine.

"Nope. Xiaolu said with certainty: "That big sister disappeared after beating people, and she definitely didn't go in." (To be continued.) )
