047 Unnamed One Bone (6)

It didn't take long, the sky got brighter, and there were more and more people walking on the street. He stood up slowly, looked around for a while, and then stretched out his hand in front of me: "Are you ready to go?"

Of course, the sooner the better. I didn't hold his hand, I stood up on the ground, and then followed his example and looked around. This was also the first time I looked at the city so seriously.

There are many houses of different heights; there are narrow alleys, and noisy noises are hard to find; the fragrance is fragrant, and the rays of light are rising from the sky; there are three or two trees in the distance, and up close, you can see birds and animals resting under the eaves; look at the people coming and going, some are happy and some are crying

.

I wanted to ask why I was crying, but in just a blink of an eye the human being was gone and he had walked some distance away. I didn't care and hurriedly caught up with him holding the meat in his arms.

When passing by an alley, he stopped, looked inside, and said, "This is the place where I went to beg for food. How about it? It looks different if you look up close."

There were no clouds in the sky. Where did the wind come from? But the fragrance was really strong. I was not hungry, but I also had the idea of ​​​​eating, so I asked: "Can we get some more now and eat while walking?"

It’s much more interesting.”

He said: "Do you have any bones?"

I asked: "What bone?"

He said: "If you don't have bones, you can't buy it. After all, if you have bones, you won't be collecting it."

I don't know what the bones mean, but I still know what the scavenged items represent, and based on what he said, I can guess that they are probably similar to what we beasts use in exchange for things.

After continuing forward, I looked back out of habit, and then suddenly remembered something and asked him hurriedly: "Is there any beast here that I can hunt?"

If there is one, you can eat it for a long time just by catching one. You don’t have to starve yourself, and you don’t have to worry about your mother not having enough to eat.

"Beasts? How could you allow something like that to come in? The beasts in the city are all trained and have their own masters. Their identities are more noble than ours. Don't think about it."

I didn't respond to him, and my face turned black. It turned out that in his eyes, I was nothing more than a beast. Sure enough, humans are not good things. Fortunately, I still felt close to him for a moment.

I didn't break out and followed him, wondering if I should wait until I got to a secluded place and then pounce on him and tear him to pieces.

Just when I was lost in thought, I suddenly bumped into him, and I didn't know when he stopped.

I originally planned to express my anger directly, but when I saw him turning around, he smiled and said, "I don't know if you will think I'm weird. I don't think wild beasts are scary. They have their own territory and won't appear in our place for no reason.

People often go out to catch wild beasts. If you don’t catch them, why would they get infected? In comparison, humans are much scarier. Don’t get me wrong, I am also a human being. I just feel it is unfair to those beasts.”

Of course I know that he is a human being, and his body is full of human stench, but I completely agree with what he just said, it turns out that there are still such people.

He probably saw that I didn't say anything and kept staring at him. He paused and then laughed out loud, "I'm joking, you don't take it seriously, do you? Leave quickly, there will be more people in a while, haha."

I still didn't respond, and then I walked in silence for a long time, walking through various streets and alleys, and finally appeared on a lake with extraordinary scenery.

The mist on the lake surface is flowing, surrounded by the glow above. The lake water is as quiet as a mirror, fish and shrimp swim without leaving a trace, and reflections emerge in the water. It is difficult to distinguish who is in the sky and on the earth.

Such beautiful scenery is neither rare nor common, but I didn't pay much attention to it. I sat by the lake and looked at the flying shadows in the fog, and sighed softly.

"I very much agree with what you said before. My mother once said that most of what humans do is unfashionable. Along the way, I have seen the same."

He picked up a stone from the side and threw it into the water, causing a circle of ripples. He quickly calmed down and said, "You still remember, I almost forgot, I just said it casually."

I was about to speak and continue this topic, but before I could say anything, he said again: "Although I said it casually, it is not unreasonable."

The voice of this sentence was very low, and I was immediately speechless. I didn’t know what to say anymore. It was just like what my mother sometimes said. It was not difficult to understand, but it took time to think about how to answer.

I sat here for half an hour. There were more and more people by the lake, and a lot of them gathered around me. During this period, he and I had nothing to say. We just kept looking at the scenery. When we got tired, I lay down and closed my eyes. Gradually,

The fog on the lake disappeared, revealing another scene:

Bei Quezhu Palace is surrounded by lakes, and beautiful people are flying in the sky. They mistakenly believe that the rays of light are blinding, but they are actually the flames that confuse the minds of beasts.

"Why do people walk in heaven?"

My attention quickly focused on it, which was wrong. I once complained to my mother on the road, why couldn't I fly in the sky like birds and beasts, so that I wouldn't have to walk so hard, and I got the answer.

.

"Animals cannot fly, diving fish cannot move, birds cannot transform, and mountains and rivers cannot be named."

"Everything in the world is under heaven and has its own laws, which cannot be changed."

So, how to explain the scene before us?

After listening to what I said, he also explained: "What in the sky, they are stepping on something under their feet, but it is just transparent and invisible."

"Isn't that just like evil spirits?"

But according to what my mother said, it is impossible for ghosts to appear in such a place, and ghosts have very strange tempers. My mother has told me many times not to offend me if I encounter them, let alone step on them.

Just when I couldn't figure it out, he said, "What is evil?"

Just like I didn't understand what he said, he also used the same tone and turned to look at me.

"The evil spirit is... I have never seen it before. I don't know how to describe it to you. Anyway, it is a kind of life that cannot be seen or touched. No... it is not necessarily intangible. My mother said that evil spirits have substance, but I don't know how to describe it to you.

I've touched it... Oops, I don't know, let's go, let's go over and take a look and we'll find out."

I almost collapsed. I stood up and pulled him to go around the lake, but he tried his best to stop me and pulled me back.

"You can't get in if there are no bones on it. Those transparent things are everywhere, including many other places. I'll take you there right now. You really can't go there, and you'll get beaten!"

Within two steps of walking out, he suddenly let go of me and ran a few meters away. He pointed at something that looked like a stone and said loudly, "Look! It's right here. There's no need to go there."

Naturally, I didn't want to do something that was far away from me, so I ran over in a few steps and looked at what he pointed at. Then I was disappointed. I could clearly see where the transparent things were. When I said transparent, I couldn't see them at all.

That kind of thing, although I don't quite understand it yet, but it should be something like air. This is not evil at all.

"Are you sure this one is the same as that one?"

"Of course, it's not something unusual. The most important thing is that I secretly went up there once..."

"Then you got beaten?"

He nodded silently, then woke up again and said: "Not only was he beaten, but he was beaten badly!"

I stood up and looked up there from a distance. If it was really the same thing, it would make sense that it couldn't be seen due to such a long distance and the fact that it was nearly transparent.

Can ghosts be touched? I didn’t ask at that time. I will definitely ask my mother when I see her!
