About death.

Xiaodao said that people are born to die, and every year they are one step closer to death, everyone will die, afraid that it will be useless, and they will do as much as they can do when they are alive, in case they will be like a saint for a hundred years.

Mei Xiaoyu said that the dead rot in the soil, and the living rot in the sun.

Chu Huan felt that death was the easiest thing, like people living in the Great Wilderness Continent, it took more courage to live.

He looked up and saw someone coming down with a young corpse on his back.

More people then climbed down the trunks.

Maybe it's commonplace, or maybe it's insensitive, and no one in the audience speaks.

In addition to the sadness at the beginning, there is a hint of sadness in their silence now, and there are some ...... Extrication.

They silently placed the corpse on the sand and began to look for flammable materials such as dead branches and leaves to pile on the corpse.

Compared to exposing the bones and exposing the wilderness and being eaten by wild beasts, turning to ashes is also a dignified departure.

"May your soul that never disappear return to the world through the dark and cold hell and under the care of the God of Life......"

The grandfather of the little bell prayed loudly.

In front of him was a raging fire.

Everyone gathered in a circle, everyone held hands, silently watching the fire, because no one knew that they would be next, so they used silence to resist the pressure and despair from survival.

No longer erupts in silence, but perishes in silence.

At this moment, the little bell leaned out of the hollow of the tree.

She beckoned to Chu Huan.

Chu Huan understood, walked towards the giant tree, and when he walked in, he found that the huge trunk had been dug into some grooves, plus it had been tilted and tilted for many years, so it was not difficult to climb.

When he climbed to the mouth of the tree with his hands and feet, the little bell had already climbed to a higher place, and he did not hesitate to chase after it.

Finally, the two stopped at a height of about thirty meters above the ground, where several thick branches crossed each other.

"Uncle, sit down." The little bell patted the trunk of the tree beside him.

When Chu Huan sat down, she silently looked at the crowd below.

"Why don't you go down?" Chu Huan asked.

"Grandpa didn't let me, saying I was still young." Little Bell's eyes turned a little red as he spoke: "The third brother hurts me the most, he went out to find water a few days ago and brought me a lot of delicious food." ”

"Grandpa said he was sick, but I knew he was injured by those bad guys, and he had a lot of blood on him."

"The third brother said that he didn't hurt and asked me not to cry, but he said that it would not look good when I cried." Little Bell said and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes: "I promised him not to cry, and he had to talk about it." ”

"Grandpa said that the third brother will come back after leaving, uncle, do you think the third brother can come back?"

Chu Huan was silent.

"Aren't you happy if you don't talk?"

"When I'm not happy, I don't like to talk, I like to sit here alone."

The little bell said as she took out a ball of paper from her pocket, opened it slowly, and then held the paper in both hands...... Carefully brought the things to Chu Huan's face.

Inside was a gummy, but only half of it was left, half of it.

"Uncle, you invite me to eat delicious, I will invite you to eat this, but it is sweet, and you won't be sad after eating."

"I couldn't help but eat that half a few days ago, and I want to eat the remaining half when I'm not happy."

"You eat, I'll watch you eat."

As she spoke, the little bell's two big eyes became watery again, and she carefully picked up the candy and put it in Chu Huan's palm.

Chu Huan's heart ached.

Damn it!

Why does Lao Tzu want to cry a little?

He thought about it and looked up at the sky, as an orphan he knew what the half candy meant to the little bell.

"Eat it quickly, otherwise it will melt in a while, and it won't taste good then." The little bell looked at Chu Huan with a look of anticipation.

Chu Huan silently put the sugar in his mouth.

"It's sweet." His eyes were a little red.

"yes, I didn't lie to you." Little Bell saw that Chu Huan had eaten her candy, and her mood was better.

"Is there anyone else under the hollow?" Chu Huan didn't chew, he was holding the candy, feeling the sweetness coming from the tip of his tongue, but there was a faint bitterness in his heart.

Watching the crowd come out of the tree hole just now, he had a question in his heart, if there was no one under the tree hole, they would be the only child left in the group of clansmen living in the ancient city.

If so, why did Little Bell's grandfather throw Little Bell to the mutant bat?

Unless...... They don't want to live anymore.

It's ......

Hearing Chu Huan's question, the little bell shook his head: "There is no one left!" ”

As he expected, Chu Huan was silent again.

"Uncle, is the sea over there?" The little bell said and pointed in a direction: "Is the sea as blue as the sky?" ”

"The leaves are green? Are the flowers red? And the green grasslands? ”

"Yes, there are not only seas, mountains, but also forests, and all kinds of delicious food and fun." Chu Huan said, turned his head to look at the little bell, and asked very seriously, "Do you want to go out and have a look?" ”

"Yes, but ......," said the little bell, looking in the direction of the fire, "I'm a little scared." ”

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

"Little bell, one day you will grow up, and you will meet all kinds of people, there are good people, there are bad people, some people are good, some people are good, and some people are ...... Fierce. ”

"But no matter what, I want you to be a brave man."

"You see, if you're not brave, you can't get out of here."

"Only by getting out of here can you see what you want to see."

"Do you understand?"

The little bell nodded as if she didn't understand.

"Uncle, can you tell me about the outside world?" Little Bell said and looked at her grandfather, "Grandpa always says it's dangerous outside. ”

"Outside......" Chu Huan was about to talk about what the outside world was like, when he heard the grandfather of the little bell shouting the little bell.

Let the little bell lie on her back, and Chu Huan carried her to climb down from the giant tree.

After chatting just now, the little bell got a lot closer to Chu Huan, and she got down from Chu Huan's back and held Chu Huan's hand.

"Before, he went to the Ruined City to find some water and weapons to come back, but he ......" Seeing Chu Huan looking in the direction of the fire, the old man explained.

"If it weren't for your sudden appearance yesterday that disrupted our plans, I'm afraid we wouldn't be ...... by now"

"But it's nothing." The old man smiled self-deprecatingly: "It's worth it for me to live for such a long time." ”

"Please take care of the little bell tonight."

"What do you want to do?" Chu Huan vaguely guessed something.

"We talked about it the other day." The old man looked resolute: "Instead of being eaten by mutants one after another, it is better to fight them again." ”

"Last time, you used a small bell as bait?"

"She can't survive if we die, and we can't take care of her if we really fight, so you're right to think I'm indifferent and ruthless."

"Little Bells are my relatives, and so are they."

"Let me choose, I'd rather send myself over, it's just that mutants don't like us old guys."

"I may not be able to take care of the little bell at night." Chu Huan suddenly spoke.

"You don't want to?"

"Nope." Chu Huan shook his head:

"I mean...... At night I went to deal with mutants. ”
