I'm sprouting again

The child's story begins 300 years ago, or 400 years ago, or 500 years ago.He couldn't remember much himself.

He can't even remember his own name.

When just beginning to recall, the child's memory is fragmented.Because he has hardly recalled such a long past for so many years.

Bai Xiao could only piece together a rough picture of his past from his few words.

Children were also born in this small town.But at that time, the small town was just a small village.

Hundreds of years ago, Kester Star had entered the era of cosmic civilization, but it did not have the prestige in the universe it has today.But even in such a great era, this small village still seems to be isolated in another world by time.

It is small and barren, and people still have to rely on hunting to maintain their basic livelihood - not like today, people maintain the habit of hunting in order to improve their strength.

At that time, the traffic arteries through the desert had not yet been opened—the desert at that time was not a desert, but a savannah, which did not have such clear boundaries as it is today, and others did not seem to notice that there was something that could be opened up here. A shortcut between two continents. ——No one pays attention, and no one would want to come to such a small village.

The child himself also forgot when this small village existed here and why it stood alone in the wilderness.

However, none of the people in this small village thought about leaving here.

——Children have a clear memory of this.

He said: "This is an ancient rule. We are a family of guardians and a family of sinners. We must not be greedy for pleasure, let alone leave without authorization."

But what they want to protect, and what crime they have committed, the child can't tell.

In short, it was in such a small isolated village that the child was born.

He was born into a good family, because he remembers the way the people in the village looked at him, that was awe.Since he was four years old, he has been studying continuously, learning many things-of course, now he has forgotten all the things he has learned so hard.

Then, he ushered in the event that changed everything, when he was ten years old.

It was a dry season—a dry season of varying degrees every summer in this forgotten land.There has been no rainfall for several months, and the high temperature has continued. The weeds that should have been full of vitality have also turned yellow, and only a little green can be seen on the big trees rooted deep in the ground; the rivers and pools have all dried up, and the land has cracked. It made a terrible mouth, like a mouth that thirsted for rainwater towards the sky.

However, in addition to the harsh environment, the people in the small village also face the infestation of monsters: in the summer of Kester, it is also the growth period of many monster cubs.In order to keep their cubs alive, the monsters, whose eyes were reddened by the dry water source, would attack the small village recklessly.Even if they couldn't find water, the blood of the Kesters could still make them drink.

The Kesters in the small village have no mechas, no mechas, not even ordinary thermal weapons.

"But we have a way to resist Warcraft."

The child said affirmatively that although he couldn't explain why, there was no tragic attack in his memory. Instead, it was those monsters who rushed over, and they would be hunted and killed by them as food for the summer.

"Warcraft are nothing to be afraid of," said the child. "Compared to monsters, the fever that comes with the dry season is more of a headache for us. To cure fever, we can only use white flower grass."

"But there is no way to artificially plant Baihuacao. It can only grow in the oasis deep in the desert. If you want to get Baihuacao, you have to go there. The people who go there are members of our family."

Everything I learned from the age of four was prepared for this trip.

Bai Xiao also asked the child, "Why don't you ask the outside world for help?"

Although Bai Xiao didn't know what fever was, the civilization level of Kester was already very high at that time, as long as he asked the outside world for help, there would always be a solution.

The child's eyes widened slightly, as if he just realized that he had never thought about this question before, and when Bai Xiao mentioned it, he was a little stunned.

The child recalled it for a while, and finally remembered the reason why he couldn't ask for help: "Because this is a place of legend, it is a secret, and no outsiders should know it."

Bai Xiao thought in his heart that it might be more than the inability to communicate with the outside world.Because this alone is not enough to make the outside world completely ignore the existence of this small village - after all, not far from this small village, there is a bustling commercial town.

The reason why this small village has been "invisible" is because the people in the small village deliberately cut off contact with the outside world, and even used some method to avoid the sight of the outside world.

So no one will notice the plight of this small village, and no one will come to help.They can only follow the ancient method and live in isolation like this.

And with the arrival of the dry season, fever breaks out.

Under the expectation of the people in the small village, the child and some other people in his family set off with their bags on their backs.

Their destination was the oasis, and they had to come back within three days, or they would get lost in the desert, so they had to travel day and night.

When it comes to this, the child seems to have dug out the picture of that time from the yellowed memory.His eyeballs moved, as if he had finally been drawn into the decayed emotional thread by the long-ago picture, and made a dull but deafening trill.

The child's eyes turned red.His gaze passed through Bai Xiao who was sitting in front of him, and landed in an unknown distance.

"The reason we're coming back in three days is because that oasis is outside the range we're allowed to leave," he said.

"No one told me, but I knew when I stepped out of that range. Because that feeling of coming out of the protective shell and being stared at with a knife like a knife turned into a voice, It keeps talking in my ears about our punishment. It calls us breachers."

Both Bai Xiao and Zang Feng were shocked, and they stared at them with wide eyes.

"Contract violators?" Bai Xiao asked eagerly, "Are you the one who formed the contract of the tree of life?"

But didn't the tree of life only select one bonder?That is the royal family.Or the past that the great elf showed Bai Xiao was not complete.Or is it that they are not meant to manage the bond of this planet, but something else?

If the tree of life is the existence of a higher civilization, besides a "manager" who manages the planet, it does need some other existences.

The child shook his head and said to Bai Xiao: "I don't know, but we have a mysterious power—just like me now."

But the child did not speak clearly, but continued his story first.

"After leaving that range, although I could perceive that sight and turn it into a sound, that existence didn't find us. Then I realized that what I learned since I was a child was a way to hide my whereabouts, so that I wouldn't be caught by that guard." Our existence discovers."

"But I was found anyway."

The child lowered his eyelids, his emotions had completely calmed down, and he even smiled.

Seeing him like this, Bai Xiao knew in her heart that his memory might have been completely clear.

The child exhaled slowly, and then said: "There are many monsters in that desert. It was calm at first, but when we left that range, the monsters attacked us."

"These monsters are already very weak. Although we are struggling to cope, there are no casualties at all."

"And then we came to that oasis."

The child closed his eyes, like a statue without sorrow or joy, and said in a tone of telling other people's things: "In that oasis, there are also monsters. They are born to live in it, very similar to us, and they guard there. , can’t leave there. I don’t know if they are contract breakers, but they don’t allow outsiders or alien monsters to approach there.”

"It was a hard battle. I was a little scared because I was not taught how to fight. But some people who came with me were not afraid. What they learned was different from me, and it was some skills specifically for these monsters .”

"During the melee, I was ambushed by a little monster and fell into a col in the oasis."

The child's voice paused for a moment, and then the corners of his mouth curled up: "The valley is full of white flowers, with white flowers blooming, like clouds deposited in the valley. When I fell, I didn't feel any pain at all. Then the flowers overwhelmed me."

"I saw the sky through the cracks in the flowers. The blue and white flowers were indistinguishable from the clouds in the sky; the flowers were soft to the touch and a bit cool; the flowers had a delicate fragrance, which I had never smelled so good. "

"I was fascinated by Bai Huacao. I didn't hear my companion's cry, and missed the opportunity to call for help. Then they left."

"I didn't go back in three days. I was found out."

Both Bai Xiao and Zang Feng couldn't help but breathe lightly, waiting for what the child said next to confirm their guess.

The child glanced at Bai Xiao and the others, his eyes slowly swept across the two of them, and then stopped on Bai Xiao.

The child suddenly laughed: "I don't know what kind of existence you saw, I had a dream. When the time limit of three days passed, a huge eye appeared in front of me, it asked me why I violated the contract .I couldn’t answer, and then it said I was stupid and pathetic—probably in its eyes, we all exist like this.”

"I don't know why in the end, it made me the new supervisor, supervising everyone in the village."
