Chapter 16 The Forgotten Person

It was getting dark outside, and the nights in Winterfell were always very cold.After drinking and eating, Luoluo purposely lit up the fire in the fireplace.They sat together around the fire, drinking nectar, and listening to the human girl go on with her story.

"On the first day we came to Aurora City, we stayed in a hotel near the station. Originally, our team consisted of seven people, but on the second day, several people had already collected the stone samples they needed one after another. Everyone went home."

"I was quite unlucky. Until the sixth day, basically everyone had finished collecting samples. Only me and him—a boy named Yanya—were still here."

"Is it because the rock formation assigned to you is particularly difficult to find?" Lulu's curiosity was aroused again, and she kept asking.

"Yeah, I've always been the one with the worst luck, and I've been like this since I was born. My mother died in childbirth, leaving me and my alcoholic father who were born with ordinary looks. I always scored 59 points, and I always met When it comes to unlucky things, even when it’s time to eat in the cafeteria, no matter which time it’s my turn, there’s only the worst food left.”

"How is this possible! How could there be such an unlucky person, you must be telling a story, hahaha."

Lulu wanted to relieve the oppressive atmosphere, but in the quiet room, her laughter was particularly piercing, more like a mockery.

"I am always working hard, but my life is not always so smooth. Sometimes I also envy those lucky people. Sometimes they don't even work so hard, and they can get what I want, including love. .”

After the girl finished speaking, she let out a long sigh, and Luoluo truly felt the dissatisfaction, indignation and helplessness contained in these words.

"Don't talk about it, tell me why you didn't go back."

Lulu tried her best to change the subject, she winked at Luoluo, and Luoluo answered her words with a smile: "Yes, we all want to know."

"Then let me start from the day when only the two of us were left. On the sixth day, the one-week inspection period was coming to an end, but we had no results. Yanya saw that I didn't intend to give up, he Just propose, why don't we act separately and go further."

"But Aurora City is too big. I walked alone, but I couldn't find the way back. Later, my food was almost gone, because I was climbing the rock layer, and my clothes were accidentally scratched and torn. rotten."

"Then that boy should be more unlucky than you right now. He must not even have a place to stay. We have to find him, or he will be frozen to death."

The girl grabbed Lulu who was about to stand up and shook her head, and then said: "He should have been picked up long ago, after all, the school and parents will be very anxious if we don't see anyone after seven days, and they will definitely contact the elders of Aurora City , trying to find him."

"then you."

"My father is probably drunk now, lying on the sofa at my house, and has long forgotten that I exist. And in school, I exist like a transparent person. Perhaps now, the teachers don't remember my name." .”

The whole room was dead silent again, after a long time, Luoluo patted her head and said calmly: "I can help you go home, but after I go back, I will bring black tea next time."

The girl raised her head to look at Luoluo, and asked her: "Then if I have someone I like, can I come here with the things I met, and ask you to help me change my luck?"

"As long as you want, of course you can."

After thanking Luoluo and Lulu repeatedly, the girl packed up her things and stepped out of the store when the morning star lit up on the second day.

Before leaving, the girl told them: "My name is Xin Yun. If you are free, you are welcome to come to Muqiu City to find me at any time. If you still remember me."

Lulu stood at the door of the store, wrapped in a blanket, looking at the back of the human being from a distance, and said with emotion: "Why can a human being who is called lucky be so unlucky?"

"She may be accumulating luck and is planning to change to a big prize in the future."

"Such unlucky people, what good luck can they have in the future?"

"Want to bet with me? I bet she will come back with her good luck." Luoluo patted Lulu's head confidently.

"What are you gambling?"

"If I win, you can accompany me to the market in Muqiu City in human form. If I lose, I will learn how to cook your favorite human food for you."

"What?" Lulu looked at Luoluo in disbelief, she never thought that Luoluo could make such a request, "Aren't you most afraid of humans?"

"It feels like some people are nice to get along with."

Luoluo laughed, she pulled Lulu up, turned around and walked back to the shop.

Perhaps because of her prejudice before, she was always afraid and worried, fearing that her abilities and spells as an elf would be used by human desires, which would disrupt the balance.Now it seems that human beings are not so scary.

At least this girl, knowing that she possesses spells and that she is an elf, did not make unreasonable demands, make excessive moves, and covet those weird spell books and medicine bottles in the store.Instead, he talked to them respectfully and kindly about his not-so-good past.

"Prejudice is really a terrible thing." Luoluo returned to the desk and flipped through the book, and suddenly said this sentence.

"Why do you feel this suddenly?"

"I used to be prejudiced against humans because I once ran to Roden City with Xiaobai without authorization."

"and then?"

"Then we met human children, about six or seven years old, just like us in our 50s and [-]s. They tricked us into using magic for fun, but pointed at our wings and ears after we played around, full of mockery Talking ugly things to those who laughed strangely."

"At that time, we felt that we were aliens, like the embodiment of disaster. The sharp ridicule once made me fall into a nightmare, and then I cast a shadow on all human beings."

"Obviously the elves are the gods who uphold the fairness and justice of this world and the laws of nature. How can they humans do this?"

Lulu patted the desk in the study angrily, as if she wanted to knock it down.

"In most cases, every species believes in their first impression of new things and uses it as the standard, doesn't it? Whether it's humans or elves, we don't have a deep understanding of each other, but we always use I use my inherent stereotypes to measure the other person's world, forgetting that this world is inherently complex and diverse. It's like a coin, how can there be things that have only positive sides but no negative sides?"

Lulu thought about it thoughtfully, and nodded seriously.After a long time, Lulu looked at her lying on the carpet with her chin in her hands and said, "Luoluo, you just spoke like a monk preaching scriptures."

Luoluo didn't speak, she put down her book and walked over to sit next to Lulu, stroking her little head, she knew that Lulu wanted to be a monk.Counting the days, the monk has not come for a while.

"It's okay, he may have gone too far, just like Xin Yun, maybe one day, he will come."
