The girl in the shop was carving a skull. The originally terrifying skull was carefully carved in the hands of this tattooed girl in her early 20s, turning it into a beautiful instrument. She realized that someone outside the shop had been looking at her for a while.
, glanced sideways, then used a knife to outline the lines on the skull, and asked: "Did you see something?"
"Ah~!" Alice didn't reply for fear of disturbing her, but walked into the shop and looked at all kinds of bone objects hung on the wall. The bone ornaments here were inlaid with gold and some were plated with silver.
Gemstones of different colors are set in the middle of different patterns, making each bone extremely exquisite.
The girl blew the powder cut off from the skull, picked up a thin pen from the color plate next to her and began to trace the flowers. However, before she started writing, she raised her head again, looked at Alice again, and revealed a
The deputy smiled and said: "There are human bones, animal bones, and bird bones here, as well as tooth ornaments and bead ornaments. It is good to buy a few as souvenirs of your visit here, or as gifts for family and friends. Those who come here from out of town.
Anyone who wants to play will buy some."
Alice asked curiously: "Did you make all of these?"
"Most of them, right." The girl in the bone jewelry shop put down her work, covered the unfinished skeleton with a cloth, and came to receive the customers: "My father made the older ones, but this shop has now been handed over to
I have it in my hand."
Alice saw that her skin was tanned red, and there was a scar under her left eye, but it did not hurt her eyes. She praised: "You are really amazing, you can make the bones so beautiful. To be honest, it would be better to replace them with the old ones."
I would be scared to death when I hear human bones. You are not afraid and can make them into works of art."
"Thank you. Bone ornaments are a specialty of Yingdi Oasis. In fact, there are people from other places who specially bring the bones of their loved ones to make ornaments, so that their loved ones can stay with them for a long time."
Alice smiled awkwardly: "I just met a man who made a ring out of his lover's ashes. Although it looks pretty, it's weird to think about it."
The girl in the bone jewelry shop said: "It's nothing, just treat it as a piece of jewelry. If you are afraid of human bones, it is not bad to choose animal bones. Many people in our area like to wear animal bone armor. It is light and hard, and the most important thing is that it is also breathable."
At this moment, a young boy came outside the store. When he came in, he asked: "Is my stuff ready?"
The girl in the bone jewelry shop replied: "Okay, I'll bring it to you right away." Then she went back to get it.
Alice looked at this young boy who looked like he was in his early 20s. The palm of his left hand was wrapped with gauze, and it seemed that he had two broken fingers.
The things were quickly picked up, and the girl in the bone jewelry shop handed the beautiful homemade box to the boy: "Your earrings are made exactly as you want them to be."
The boy opened the box and took a pair of beautiful silver-edged sapphire bone earrings. He looked around and nodded with satisfaction. He took out a small bag of coins and threw it at the girl. He said, "This is the final payment. The earrings are well made. She will definitely like it."
of."
After the guest left, Alice asked: "Were those earrings made with his own fingers just now?"
The girl from the bone jewelry shop said: "Yes. When he was working, he accidentally broke his finger. He brought it to me and asked me to make a pair of earrings for his lover."
Alice opened her mouth wide: "Is this still possible?"
The girl in the bone jewelry shop smiled slightly and said: "Such things are not uncommon here. The tradition of making bones into jewelry for your lover originated from the Eagle Demon Clan. The Eagle Demon Clan has always attached great importance to bones, because bones
Light makes it easier to fly, so they prefer people with light bones. Moreover, they believe that after death, feathers will fall off and the body will decay. Only bones can last long, so it is good to make bones into ornaments to symbolize love and long-term marriage.
It has become a tradition. Some young people, especially men and women who are passionately in love, will take the initiative to take out their own bones and make them into ornaments to give to their lovers as tokens of love."
"Ah, there is such a thing?" Alice was surprised: "Isn't it awkward to take out your own bones? What if you become disabled?"
The girl in the bone jewelry shop shook her head and said: "No. Usually they take a piece of their own ribs and cast a metal object as a replacement. It doesn't matter even if they don't cast a metal skeleton. If it's just a small piece of ribs made into jewelry, it will be very difficult in life.
It has no impact at all.”
Alice spoke "O" again, thinking of that person's face in her mind, and an impulse suddenly surged in her heart.
"Do you also have someone you love?" the girl from the bone jewelry shop asked after seeing her expression.
Alice suppressed her impulsive heart, thinking that it was impossible for her to be with that person after all, and she felt depressed again.
The girl in the bone jewelry shop was very good at observing people's emotions. She asked, "Are you secretly in love with that boy?"
Alice glanced outside the door, no one noticed her, and then nodded aggrievedly.
"Then you should be brave enough to confess your love to him. The boy you fall in love with must be very lucky."
Alice shook her head: "Impossible, he is married and loves his wife very much."
"So that's it." The girl in the bone jewelry shop was quite surprised and couldn't continue to talk.
Alice looked at the ground in despair, then suddenly raised her head and asked: "But I still want to...still want to..."
"Do you still want to give him something?"
Alice looked at the decorations in the room and murmured: "I want to give him my heart. I hope he knows it. In fact, he should know it." She lowered her head and smiled bitterly: "He must know my heart, he is just pretending.
I just don’t know.”
"Then you should forget about him." said the girl in the bone jewelry shop.
Alice shook her head again: "No, I will never forget him in this life." Thinking of the night that changed her life a few years ago, how could she forget this person? She said to the girl in the bone jewelry shop: "I want to
Please help me make something."
"What to do?" The girl in the bone jewelry shop asked again: "What to use?"
Alice touched her heart and said: "My ribs in this position..."

Eva, Ruola and Qin were looking for Alice everywhere. After searching for a while, they saw Alice coming from the street.
"Where have you been, Alice? It's hard for us to find you." Qin looked in the direction where Alice came from.
"Oh, I went to visit the bone jewelry store over there." Alice asked back: "Where did you and Ruola go just now? Is there anything interesting or interesting?"
Qin said: "Ruola and I just went to find out what was going on in the crowd. It turned out that a semi-forbidden sect was opening a missionary church."
"Is it that old man from Solatum?"
Ruola shook her head.
Qin said: "Okay, let's not stay in this boring place and go swimming at the lake. How about it?"
Ruola said 'hmm', Alice also agreed, and the four of them happily went to the lake together.
