Chapter 17: Brother, I'm Hungry
Thinking that she might not be the unluckiest one, Mira began to be a little happy again: "Your words are very inappropriate, what do you mean to die together? This is a derogatory term, which means that I am a big villain, and you want to die with me for the development of society, the progress of civilization, and the liberation of mankind?

Ye Yu snorted: "The air here is limited, we need to find a way out as soon as possible, I have been supporting you just now, you have not been drowned in the water, now it is time for you to repay the favor and take the initiative to find the way." ”
Mira turned her head around and asked, "It's dark on all sides, where can I find my way?"
"Just now I saw some faint light shining through the bottom of the water, I guess there may be a road below, you can dive down and look for it. ”
Mira rolled her eyes and said, "My water nature is not good, I may not be able to come up if I go down, so you should go." ”
"No, I have to conserve my strength, in case this doesn't work, I have to find another way, Triss is still waiting for me at home, I must not die here, so you can only go to explore the path. ”
Mira grimaced and said, "I'm your leader." ”
Ye Yu sneered: "At the moment of life and death, who cares if you are the head of the regiment or not, I can get you out of the water, I have done my duty, now my task is to escape alive, don't say that you are just the head of the regiment, even if you are the emperor, don't want to point fingers at me and sit back and enjoy it." ”
"Golden Dragon Grass," Mira said with a smile, "If I can't get out, no one will go to the Medicine King's Palace to collect Golden Dragon Grass for you, what about Trace's illness?"
Although she couldn't see her fingers, Mira could clearly see that there seemed to be a cold flash in the darkness, and then she heard Night Feather say in a deep voice: "You have to remember your promise, otherwise, I won't let you go." After a long while, Night Feather emerged from the water again: "Follow me, there is a strange space over there, and I can probably find a way out." ”
In the foyer-sized space, fluorescent and fragrant, there is a jade-white platform on the side wall that protrudes on the water, and the water ripples but never fills the table. Night Feather laboriously pushed Mira to the platform, and then lay down beside Mira exhausted: "I'm tired to death, why are you so heavy?" And I don't help paddling myself, I can bring a sack with me than take you to swim." ”
Mira smiled: "Hehe, get used to it, when I was in the academy before, the senior sister who taught me to swim always told me to be honest, and then simply told me to put my hands and feet together and not to touch and move, so now I will naturally maintain that posture when I get out of the water." ”
Ye Yu thought about it and laughed: "Then did you learn to swim in the end?"
"Of course not, otherwise how can there be a reason to continue intimate contact with the senior sister? You don't know, looking at it from underwater, the senior sister's thymus is very large, tsk. ”
"Haha, it turns out that you're not a good thing, you go to school just to peek at women?"
Mira sat up suddenly: "What is a peeking view? This is art, can art understand? Every beautiful girl is a natural work of art, and no one can stop me from pursuing art." ”
Ye Yu sighed, put her hands under her head, and sighed to the sky: "You children of rich families have the opportunity to go to school well and don't study hard, but Trisi can't afford to pay the tuition fee of a silver coin, so she can only hide behind the door every day and watch the other children happily go to school. Many times I saw her tears rolling in her eyes, but she refused to cry, and my heart was unspeakably uncomfortable. ”
Mira was surprised, "Can't you afford a silver coin?"
Ye Yu's face suddenly became extremely gloomy: "You haven't experienced that kind of life, you don't understand." We were orphaned at a very young age, and our parents left us with only vague memories and an empty house. I've stolen things, worked as a beggar, dug up rotten vegetable leaves in the sewers, grabbed leftovers in the dog bowl, and in my memory, I never had enough to eat, and I had to save a bite to eat for Tracey. At night, I lay on my bare bed and tossed and turned with hunger, and I still remember the sensation vividly. ”
"One night, it was very cold and I was very hungry, and the moonlight shone through the hole in the roof on my face, and it also shone on Tracey's face. Seeing her sleeping soundly, I suddenly had the idea that if I ate her, wouldn't I be so hungry?"
Mira was startled, "You, you're going to eat Tris, she's your sister." ”
Under the little fluorescent mapping, Ye Yu's eyes also seemed to be a little green and faint: "For people who are extremely hungry, what is the value of flesh and blood affection? When I was ******, didn't many people eat their own children? And I was not even ten years old at the time, and no one told me anything about ethics and morality, I had only one thought in my heart at that time, I didn't want to starve to death, I wanted to live." ”
When I finally made up my mind and crawled to Tracey's side to strangle her to death, I saw that in the silver moonlight, Trace's eyes were full of tears, and she looked straight at me and said, "Brother, I'm hungry, I'm going to starve to death, you say, after I die, will I be able to see my parents?" I withdrew my hands that were reaching for her neck and picked up Tracey, and that night, the two of us hugged each other, crying for I don't know how long. ”
"When I grew up and learned some hunter's skills, the two of us gradually ate a little meat, but the tuition fee for that silver coin could not be earned anyway. ”
"I don't know if Triss remembers that moonlit night, but I can never forget my own sins, I can only do my best to make Trith happy, so that she will no longer be hungry, and protect her to live her life safely and happily. So," Night Feather turned over violently and knelt down in front of Mira, "Please be sure to find the Golden Dragon Grass and cure Tracey's illness, I beg you." ”
Seeing Ye Yu lowering her head and being silent, Mira felt that the atmosphere was a little weird, and hurriedly said: "The matter of the Golden Dragon Grass is wrapped up in me, but we must first find a way out now, we can't do anything if we are trapped here." Night Feather stood up and looked around, "This place looks a little weird, let's look ahead." ”
The two of them walked along the edge of the platform, and on the flesh-colored cave wall, there were many glowing white mosses scattered here and there, and some strange small flowers poked their heads out of the moss, exuding a faint fragrance. Ye Yu smiled: "This fish usually doesn't know how many things are stuffed into the sea, and flowers and plants actually grow in the stomach." ”
Mira also smiled: "If you can find the Golden Dragon Grass here, you don't have to toss so much." ”
Ye Yu perked up, and said while looking down carefully: "Although I can't afford to buy the Golden Dragon Grass, I have also heard that it has a strange fragrance, and its whole body is covered with golden thread-like lines, which is definitely not comparable to these small flowers and grasses." ”
Mira said nonchalantly: "Anyway, I'm looking for it all the way, in case I run into it, it's strange, why is there everything here, iron nails, wine bottles, clay pots, porcelain bowls, you can open a grocery store." Ye Yu said: "These are all things that cannot be digested in the stomach of the fish, you be careful, you can't kick the skull of an unlucky ghost." ”
Mira looked up in surprise and suddenly muttered, "Oh my God, there are so many skulls." ”
On the flat ground in front of them were many white bones piled up in all directions, some of them looked like cattle and horses, some of them were of a humanoid race at a glance, some were scattered on the ground, some were piled up into a hill, some were broken and broken, and some still had one or two pieces of flesh and blood still hanging from them.
Mira and Night Feather glanced at each other, finally suppressed the discomfort in their hearts, and gently leaned into the bone mountain.
The miserable white skeleton rushed to the face, vaguely with a bit of rancid smell, and occasionally a breeze blew, and large and small bone holes sounded a sharp whistling sound at the same time. Mira began to walk side by side with Night Feather with her head held high, and gradually shrunk her head and tail to hide behind, still pretending to be stubborn: "Look at this, it is somewhat similar to the legendary kingdom of the undead, heh, heh, heh." ”
Ye Yu's face was also a little pale, and he kicked the skull that was blocking the way far away: "There is something wrong here, you have to pay more attention." ”
As soon as he said this, Mira suddenly jumped forward, almost the whole person was behind him, and asked in a trembling voice, "Yes, yes, what's wrong? You, you, what did you find?"
"It's so clean, we can't see all the bottles and jars we just saw here, cattle and horses aside, so many people are buried here, where do all the things on their bodies go?"
Mira chuckled in her heart and smiled reluctantly: "Maybe, maybe it will be washed away by the water and blown away by the wind." ”
Night Feather stopped: "Something is wrong, something is wrong, it looks like someone is watching us." ”
Mira looked around, only to see layers of white bones, countless pairs of empty eyes staring at herself: "You, don't scare me, there is no living thing, who will look at us? Don't tell me there are ghosts here." At the mention of ghosts, he felt his legs go limp.
