Chapter Thirty-Seven Little Deer

"I was born in a tribe on the grassland." The deer's voice was sharp and crisp, telling her simple past: "I have lived with my parents since I was a child. Since I can remember, I have been grazing on the grassland with my parents every day. It's so happy that such a life is."

"When did that happen?" Catherine asked softly, "Probably how many years did it take for the mainland?"

"I don't know." The deer's voice sounded very confused, and her jaws were clicking: "What is the mainland's life for many years? What does it mean?"

"Uh, don't you know?" Catherine was stunned and smiled helplessly: "It's okay, but do you still remember which tribe you used to be in? There are many tribes nearby."

"The tribe is a tribe." Xiaolu scratched her skull, and her voice became even more confused: "I remember there were many big tents in the tribe, and many uncles and aunts. By the way, there were a few friends playing with me at that time, cutting grass, catching gophers, picking wild vegetables, and catching rabbits. It was very fun. Let me tell you, one day, the big dog caught such a big gopher. We discussed secretly running out to roast it together at night, but the fool of the big dog was found when he stole salt from his house. Haha, his parents beat him up..."

Catherine did not interrupt the little skeleton's memories of these trivial matters. Several people listened to a small skeleton happily telling their childhood interesting things, but a faint sadness arose in their hearts.

"It's so amazing." The woman's heart is always particularly soft. When the deer's memories finally came to an end, Catherine's smile became even gentler, and she gently stroked the deer's bare skull. The little skeleton seemed to be able to feel this kind of caress. She actually made a snoring sound.

"I really envy you." Annie sat next to the little skeleton with her knees in her hands, blinking her eyes and saying longingly: "When I was a child, I lived with my grandmother every day, and I studied with my teachers all the time, and I rarely had time to go out to play. It turns out that there were so many fun things outside."

"Hmph. Now I know how powerful I am." Xiaolu snorted proudly, leaned down to her skull and said, "Next time I will take you to play on the grassland, and I will catch the insects for you to see."

"Okay, okay." Anne's translucent little face was filled with an expectant smile, as if she was fantasizing about her running on the grassland.

"Crack." The pen in Vivian's hand that was writing and drawing was suddenly broken unconsciously by her, and the other people's faces were also very bad. Everyone knew in their hearts that if nothing unexpected happened, it would be difficult for the little banshee or the little skeleton to have the chance to play like an ordinary child. But no one said it, no one had the heart to destroy the only fantasy and dream of the two undead who were still children.

"Little Deer." Panis knew that things could not continue like this, so he could only act as a villain and interrupted the children's communication: "What happened later? How did you... how did you become like this?"

"Later?" The deer's excited and beating soul fire suddenly seemed dim. The skull also drooped, and her voice became very low: "Later I got sick. My parents took me to see several wizards and grandpas, but the grandpas couldn't cure my illness. They said that this was the call of the ancestors, and I would return to my ancestors. But I didn't want to see my ancestors at all. I couldn't bear to leave my parents, nor did I want to leave my parents, nor did I want to play with them. I also want to grazle with my parents. The three teeth were frostbite in winter, and I don't know if they got better. The broken horn suddenly stopped giving birth. My parents couldn't sleep well for this for several nights, and they were worried that I couldn't get much strength without milk. Oh, by the way, I'm dead, so they shouldn't have to worry anymore."

"Huh." Catherine let out a heavy breath. She blinked hard, holding the slender and hard bones of the little skeleton and said, "Good boy. Let's not talk about this anymore, let's talk about what happened after you wake up."

"Yeah." Xiaolu nodded, tilted her head and thought for a while and said, "I woke up forty-seven years ago. Well, it should be forty-seven years. I remember that the grass has dried up and green again, a total of forty-seven times."

"Yeah, that's forty-seven years." Panis answered on his own initiative when he saw that the others were in a wrong state.

"Well, actually, when I woke up, I knew that I was dead and had turned into a skeleton." Xiaolu knew her condition very well and continued, "When I woke up, I remember that I was in the mountains outside. It was night, and it was dark all around, but I could see everything clearly. And I found that there were many skeletons like me moving around me. I was a little scared and planned to go back to find my mother and father, but I didn't know the way and wanted to find people around me to ask for directions, but they ignored me and had no reaction at all, so I just walked around."

"Their reaction made me even more scared, so I ran out of the mountain. After I went out, I realized that I was in the Holy Mountain. Fortunately, I would occasionally come to play near the Holy Mountain with my friends, and I knew the way, so I could find the former tribe in the direction. However, after I returned, I found that the tribe was gone. The former tribe was only empty grassland and nothing else. At first I thought I was on the wrong path, but after a few rounds, I decided to determine the location. I didn't know where the tribe moved."

"Later, I cried for a while at the tent of my house and decided to look around to see if there were any other uncles and aunts who could know where the tribe was. It was dawn at that time, so I walked around the Holy Mountain. Sure enough, I met a few aunts who came out to grazed. I was very happy to go over and ask, but they ran away when they saw me turn. I wanted to call them, but I found that I couldn't make a sound and could only chase them from behind. But the more I chased them, the faster I ran, and I couldn't catch up with them on my horse."

"I really couldn't catch up, so I had to give up and continue to walk around the Holy Mountain. Later I met a few uncles. This time they didn't run away, but they rushed up and hit me. Although the hitting didn't hurt, I was so scared that I couldn't speak, so I had to start running. As I ran, I found that more and more people were meeting, and more and more people were chasing me, and one or two of them hit me, which made me feel pain. I found that I had no place to run, so I could only run into the Holy Mountain. It was strange that as soon as I ran back to the holy mountain, they stopped chasing me."

"After I hid back to the holy mountain, I ran out a few more times, but it was the same every time. When people saw me, I either turned around and ran away in fear, or rushed up to hit me, and the same reaction was the same. Only then did I realize that I am the most unpopular outside when I am like this."

"The last time I ran out, I met someone. It hurt to hit me and almost broke my arm. I was afraid that I would not dare to go out again and hid in this valley every day. I remember that before, the wizard grandpa would bring everyone here to worship, and then there would be a lot of delicious food after I went back. I thought, if I waited here, maybe one day the uncles and aunts in the tribe would come back to worship again, so I would see everyone."

"However, after more than ten years, I gradually understood." The little skeleton sighed humanely. The hand bone supported the jaw and said sadly: "It should have been many, many years before I woke up, and the tribe was gone long ago. Mom and Dad should have died of old age. I wonder if they will become like me?"

"And I gradually understood that the skeletons around me are actually completely different from me." Xiaolu said, touching a skeleton knight he controlled: "They don't know anything, they will not react, they just walk around blankly every day. I finally know. It's special that I am the only one in this valley, and I can control some of the skeletons."

"Later, I hid for forty-seven years. I didn't have to eat every day, and I would go around when I woke up. Then I sat down and stared in a daze, and lay down to sleep when I was tired. But I felt so bored. No one played with me and no one talked to me. I could only control a few skeletons, pretending that they were the same as me, controlling them to talk to me."

"Since last year, there are more and more skeletons here, and new skeletons appear every day, and I can't recognize them. But I'm very happy. Maybe after the number is too large, I can meet another skeleton like me. Unfortunately, there is not one, not one."

"No one dared to come in here for a long time, but since this winter, some people broke in from outside. I was afraid that they would hit me again, so I hid here myself, and controlled other skeletons to look at them from afar. As a result, they saw that they were constantly being beaten by skeletons outside and died. After a while, another group of people came, but not long after they were killed by skeletons outside. I was very scared, those skeletons went crazy. They had just been circling around before, and had never been so crazy. I don't know what happened. I was afraid that the skeletons would beat me so crazy when they saw me, so I didn't dare to go out. I controlled them to leave this valley far away and hide themselves in a very powerful skeleton's belly. I think this is safer."

"In the end, it's this sister." Xiaolu pointed to Marcia and said, "This sister scared me a few days ago. The first time I saw someone rushing here. But my sister couldn't rush in in the end and retreated halfway. Fortunately, it was fine."

"Hey, you little guy." Marcia was not angry and gently knocked on the skull of the little skeleton: "Are you so happy to see me running away in such a mess?"

"Hehe." The little skeleton rubbed his skull and giggled a few times.

"Is there only you a special skeleton here?" Panis asked with a frown, "Nothing else?"

"Yeah, there must be no more." The little skeleton said, "If it were, I would have discovered it long ago."

"That's strange." Panis pondered: "Do you still remember the skeleton knight who suddenly emerged from the ground and attacked? That kind of tactic is not like what this little guy can do."

"I did it." Xiaolu said proudly: "Yesterday, I saw an older sister from afar in the mountains and used this method to hit another weird guy. I thought it was so amazing, so I learned to do it once."

"Big sister?" Catherine was stunned: "Is there anyone else? He passed by here too?"

"No." The deer shook her head: "They climbed the mountain from the other side and entered the holy land inside, and did not pass by here."

"Well, when they crossed the mountains, you didn't do the same to me as before." Panis made a stone throwing action: "Bump them with stones?"

"No." Xiaolu said with her head down, "They climbed from the other side and would not pass by here. I ignored them and just looked at them for a while from a distance."

"Then have they entered?" Catherine asked.
