A World Worth Protecting

Chapter 1067 Baby (Updated)

I was born on the day when the sky cloud descended.

My mother told me that a fire broke out under the sky that day, burning the clouds and engulfing the whole world in flames.

On that day, most of my ethnic group died, and it was also on that day that I was born.

I don't have a name. In my ethnic group, names don't seem to have any effect. Some... just how to survive in this cruel world!

I don’t know why, we, who never kill, always become the prey of others. Humans like to hunt us, peel off our skins, and make them into their clothes.

The blood on the skin can be washed off, but can the dead air stained on it be washed off...

Cut off our horns and make souvenirs, they say.

But we are weak, what qualifications do we have to be souvenirs?

Drink our blood raw, as it seems that that can cure some of their ailments.

But the dagger that pierces our heart, the warm blood released, while healing, uses our whole life!

So since I was born, I have always been afraid, always avoided, and always kept vigilant, but these are obviously not enough... because this world belongs to steel, to human beings, and to the majestic city barriers built one after another.

It is also because I seem to be a bit special. My body fur is white, which is different from all my clansmen. My horns are also white, and even my eyes are the same!

And this kind of difference, once I was discovered by someone, brought me endless catastrophe...

It was also this catastrophe that let me know why the fire in the sky that my mother mentioned on the day I was born came. It was a weapon, a weapon that was said...to destroy the world.

The reason why I know this is because I cannot escape the arrangement of fate. In this catastrophe, the ethnic group abandoned me, and my mother abandoned me, because my existence seems to be the source of the entire ethnic group's demise.

I want to run, I want to chase, but I dare not... I have been cautious since I was born, so I dare not shout loudly, and I dare not run fast, because the sound of running will put me in deeper danger .

Until, after being abandoned, I became the spoils of a man whose name I do not know.

What he needs is not the dead skin, not the blood without warmth, but the living me. That is a gift, a gift for the city lord.

So... After being hungry for a long time, I was sent to the city and became one of the so-called strange beasts in the backyard of the city lord.

I sometimes think that I am lucky. Although I have lost my freedom, lost my ethnic group, and been kept here in captivity, I am here. I don’t need to hide, I don’t need to be afraid, and I don’t have to run. In addition... I am here , and some friends.

Among my friends, there are wise old apes, aggressive little tigers, and charming foxes. As for the others... I don't like them because they are too fierce.

The old ape is a very strange guy, it is very old, its old body is full of wrinkles, it likes to sit cross-legged on the hill, likes to put some stones around, likes to call us to celebrate its birthday on a fixed day every year.

It said, this is called birthday.

And it seems to have been here for a long time, so that it seems to know a lot of things, and it has become an omniscient existence in the backyard.

Xiaohu is different from it. Xiaohu likes to fight very much. It seems that he is trying hard to become the overlord in the yard. It is also he who keeps me from being bullied here. At the same time, he also has a hobby, that is, he likes water. He once said that he is getting old Finally, it would be nice to be buried in a waterfall pool.

As for Ahu... Although she is a friend, I don't like some things about it very much. It was sent after me. After coming here, she likes to send her fur to other strange beasts, and each The strange beast who got its hair seemed to be very happy.

But I am worried that one day it will be bald, and I discovered a secret about it, the guy with the most hair will often die silently soon after.

But anyway, we are friends, so I won't take the hair she gave me.

I thought that my whole life might be spent walking in this courtyard to the ruins, and maybe one day, I could become a wise man like the old ape, until I met... her.

It was a little girl, who seemed to be only three or five years old, with a cute expression, trying to pretend to be a little adult, except...a little baby fat.

But her eyes are bright, like stars.

There is a middle-aged man with white hair beside her. Their clothes are different from those of everyone in this world. I don't know how to describe it, but the wisest old ape in the backyard told me that it is called Immortal.

I don't know what an immortal is, but I do know that the arrival of the white-haired man made the city lord, who was like the sky in my eyes, kneel down tremblingly, like a slave.

This may not be a big deal, but if the people kneeling there are all the city lords in this world, then the meaning...is different.

"My daughter wants to write a book, so I brought her here to find materials." These were the words spoken by the white-haired man to countless worshiping city lords.

I understand what a book is, but I don't understand what the material means, but it doesn't matter. The wise old ape explained everything to me, but unfortunately...even if I tried hard to look at the little girl, she passed by the backyard , didn't notice my presence.

This is our first meeting, and it is also the beginning of my life together... because, the little girl who I thought would disappear in my eyes, fell down while running happily.

Her father didn't help her up, but stared gently, watching the little girl get up by herself, but at that moment, I don't know what kind of force was pushing her, maybe it was the purity of the little girl, or maybe it was the little girl. After she got up, she tried hard not to cry, but the tears flowed down.

So I walked over, and in the astonishment of all the friends around me, and the panic of all the city lords around me, I came to her side and licked away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

It seemed to be my tongue that made her feel itchy, so the little girl giggled, with some curiosity in her eyes, she stroked the hair on my head with her little hands.

Very comfortable.

"Daddy, can you give me this little white deer?" The little girl turned her head and looked at the white-haired middle-aged man. I also turned my head and looked at the same.

From the eyes of the white-haired middle-aged man, I saw my figure, a white young deer.

This, this is me, maybe it is the influence of the weapon at birth, I... After growing to a certain level, I stopped developing, forever, maintaining the state of a larva.

But for some reason, there seemed to be some other meaning in the eyes of the middle-aged man in white. I don't know what it is, but it doesn't matter, because he nodded.

This is the first time since I entered the backyard, I left here.

When I was leaving, I said goodbye to the old ape, and I told it that I might not come back for the next birthday celebration, but the old ape said it was okay, we will meet again.

Although when the old ape said this, his eyes became deeper, as if he saw the future, far, far away...but I didn't care because I knew that his eyes were not very good.

As for Xiaohu, he went to fight again, so my farewell was unsuccessful, but Ahu cried at his place. It seemed that it was because he gave me hair at the last parting, but I still didn't want it, so I cried very sadly.

But I am not sad, because after leaving the city lord's mansion, following the little girl and her father, I, who wandered in this world, have a name.

"Little Bailu, let me give you a name, your name is...Little Baibai!"

I like this name very much, and I was about to nod, but her father spoke from the side.

"No."

"Why, Daddy?"

"..." The middle-aged man didn't speak, but the little girl kept asking, and finally he seemed a little helpless.

"Because Daddy doesn't like the word Bai."

"Then call it Baby." The little girl pouted, but soon thought of a new name, hugged my head, and kept talking in her mouth.

So, I have a name, this name, called baby.
