God's Gift

After saying this, Yu Youyou sat down again and thought carefully.

Human life span is so short, just a moment. My mother said that more than eighty years is the lifetime of many people.

So for humans, she should have lived for a long time.

But no one present knew what Yu Youyou was thinking.

They all thought Yu Youyou was joking.

Lu Keming frowned and looked at Anthony with even colder eyes.

Anthony laughed dryly, "Really? If you're over 80, you'd be several thousand years old now."

Yu Youyou nodded quickly, "Yes!"

If we include the time spent asleep, he should be more than 5,000 years old.

She lived longer than her father.

Oh, her father who died young!

Thinking of this, Yu Youyou nodded with satisfaction.

Shen Minghua thought that Yu Youyou was so sad that she started talking nonsense. He stared at Anthony and comforted Yu Youyou, "Youyou, don't be sad. We are all here from now on."

Yu Youyou looked at Shen Minghua strangely, as if she didn't understand why Shen Minghua said that, "I'm not sad."

"Yu Youyou, if you are sad, just say it. How can you not be sad when your parents passed away? I asked the wrong question just now. I shouldn't have asked." Anthony punched himself angrily and made an assurance to Yu Youyou.

"If you want to eat anything in the future, just ask me. I'll treat it as compensation to you."

Yu Youyou shook her head seriously, "I'm really not sad."

"How can I not be sad?" Anthony was a little confused.

"Birth and death are inevitable for all things in this world. No one can escape this law. All life in the sea will experience death, and no creature on land can avoid it."

Yu Youyou's eyes were clear as she explained to Anthony seriously.

“Death gives meaning to life. Hunting, traveling, reproduction… all these exist because of death. It is because of death that there is new life.”

"My mother also said that death is the closing ceremony of the feast of life. Every feast must come to an end."

After listening to Yu Youyou's words, Anthony shook his head and said, "But you are a little too heartless to think like that. Let alone those far away ones, wouldn't you be sad if the person who gave birth to you and raised you left?"

Yu Youyou thought for a long time and finally said, "But my mother said that she lived a happy life. She reached the end happily. She is not sad, so I am not sad either."

"What about your father?" Anthony couldn't understand Yu Youyou's thoughts.

"My father can be with the person he loves forever, so why should he be sad?" Yu Youyou curled her lips and answered as a matter of course.

Lu Keming stared at Yu Youyou with his deep and cold eyes, and suddenly said, "But they left you alone, leaving you alone in the world. Isn't that sad?"

Yu Youyou looked at Lu Keming and was silent for a second.

"But their lives are their own, they are not lived for me."

Lu Keming looked into Yu Youyou's clear eyes, but his look was somewhat inquiring.

Yu Youyou’s words seemed to make sense at first glance, but they seemed strange upon closer thought.

Her attitude towards life is too indifferent and rational. She is more like a bystander than a participant.

It is as if it has transcended the cycle of life and is watching the operation of life from the outside.

Lu Keming twisted his fingers, lowered his eyes and stared at the flames of the campfire.

Do humans in the life cycle think this way?

Anthony glanced at Lu Keming who was sitting alone. He didn't know what Lu Keming was thinking, but he felt a little disappointed because of Yu Youyou's matter.

Perhaps the most miserable person is not Yu Youyou, the orphan, but Lu Keming, who lost his mother at birth and was thrown into Area E to fend for himself.

Anthony was still young at that time, and he could not understand what Lu Keming had experienced, and what a chaotic and dark place District E was.

He only knew that when he was seven or eight years old and still catching birds and fighting cocks, Lu Keming, who had just been found, had become so powerful that he could destroy a city at will and face the death of others cold-bloodedly.

But Anthony didn't dare to mention it at all, and everyone in the Lu family was very secretive about it.

For a moment, everyone around the campfire was quiet.

Yu Youyou's attention was drawn to something else. She moved closer to Lu Keming, looked at the barbecue on the bonfire in front of him, and swallowed, "Okay."

Lu Keming glanced at Yu Youyou, took the barbecue off the campfire, but did not give it to Yu Youyou.

"Does your mouth hurt anymore?"

Yu Youyou quickly shook her head, "It doesn't hurt anymore, it doesn't hurt anymore, you can eat now."

She was afraid that Lu Keming would not give it to her.

Lu Keming stared at Yu Youyou's toothless mouth for a while before handing the barbecue to Yu Youyou.

Yu Youyou quickly reached out to take it, sat down on the ground, blew on the barbecue twice and was about to put it in her mouth.

Nine pairs of small eyes on the ground stared at Yu Youyou's hands holding the barbecue, and moved along with Yu Youyou.

Yu Youyou stopped, looked at the barbecue in her hand, and then looked at the elf on the ground.

The elf looked at Yu Youyou pitifully.

"You guys want to eat too?"

Yu Youyou blinked, nodded in sudden realization, grabbed the barbecue and started tearing it.

But the meat was obviously not cool enough to be grabbed with hands.

Her expression was distorted and her face was wrinkled. She quickly pulled her hand back, screamed in surprise because it was burned, and continued to reach out to grab the barbecue.

Then Yu Youyou pulled her hand back because of the burn, but after a few seconds she didn't give up and reached her hand forward again.

Lu Keming, who was witnessing all this, had a frozen expression on his face for a few seconds.

What reckless man?

After a few seconds, Lu Keming came to his senses and quickly snatched the barbecue from Yu Youyou's hand.

Yu Youyou looked at Lu Keming blankly, "What's wrong?"

Lu Keming suppressed the speechless emotions in his heart and used his mental power to divide the barbecue into small pieces. He then packed the pieces of meat and handed them to Yu Youyou.

Yu Youyou took the meat handed to her by Lu Keming with a smile on her face. She gave each elf a piece and put the remaining pieces into her mouth.

But in the following time, Lu Keming was thinking that he probably shouldn't have believed Yu Youyou.

Because her mouth wasn't healed at all.

Every time she ate a piece of meat, Yu Youyou's face wrinkled in pain, she let out a strange cry, and then continued eating.

Even Anthony began to admire Yu Youyou's perseverance.

Lu Keming simply closed his eyes, too lazy to look.

After Youyou finished eating the barbecue, everyone felt a little sleepy, but the strange thing was that the Wendigo did not crawl out from the ground like it did the previous two nights. Instead, it was unusually quiet.

"What's going on? Hasn't the Wendigo come out yet?" Fang Ziang was getting a little impatient waiting, feeling vaguely uneasy.

"There is no moon tonight." Shen Minghua looked at the sky that was still covered by dark clouds and finally realized something was wrong.
