What character did you drop

◎The pair of similar eyes, and the pattern on the shell. ◎

"Woohoo, I don't mean there are only life and death issues, but haven't you noticed that there is no cemetery in the dessert town, and few people talk about the problems after the death of relatives at home?"

Avanti thinks that these people are really big. No one has thought about such an obvious problem.

However, Afan mentioned that he has not touched the so-called 'tourists' yet.

I feel that if there are tourists, it doesn’t take much time to visit the dessert town. After all, you can notice that something is wrong, right?

"But most of the townspeople in Dessert Town live a long life?" Mr. Bookworm took a deep breath and looked at Avanti with doubts on his face, "My cute little boy, do you think too much before you can eat?" Is there something wrong with everything?"

"But this is indeed a problem." There are different interpretations of the clown mask, and he said to Mr. Bookworm with a slightly solemn expression: "Have you ever thought that dessert towns have existed for thousands of years, but our town has the longest life span?" The person who is here is clearly not more than 150 years old!"

That person is even the old mayor. He usually looks tough, but in recent years, it has been found that he is a little powerless in doing things. It seems that he has already begun to look for the next successor.

"Also, the book walker who traveled to the dessert town before... I just remember this, and I know that many people died..."

Teacher Lilith also spoke quietly at this time, a pair of beautiful fox eyes looked very tangled, puzzled, and self-blaming,

"At the very beginning, I even helped them make records, lists of last words and what they did... I hope that at least there is someone like me in this world who can prove that they are alive... .”

However, things have changed. Even though Lilith tried hard to read these records every day and night, when Avanti brought up this matter, Teacher Lilith found that her mind was blank, as if she could not remember at all. Why did I forget.

"If this is the case, the problem is really big." Mr. Bookworm was quite entangled, after all, he used to like to call himself the long-lived and knowledgeable Mr. Bookworm.

But now it is found that the age can no longer prove the actual age, so is the current body of Mr. Bookworm still the original body?

Or is it just that I am repeatedly using different bodies to do the same thing, or is the same self constantly changing the same but new body to live?

"There is also the issue of household registration recognition."

Teacher Lilith's memory is like being turned on by some special switch. Since Avanti reminded her of success, she changed an old booklet from Maomao, and said to the other two elderly non-human allies:

"I am a townsman who was once taken away by the gods. There is no doubt about it. But the two of you have never been in contact with this area. Maybe you are also affected, but the part of the reaction is different?"

"I can check to see if I have the official household registration of the dessert town, or let's find someone who is sure that he has not been taken away by the gods, and who is not necessarily born by the townspeople, and go to the mayor to confirm."

Although Mr. Bookworm seldom entered the town, he obviously never lowered his understanding of Dessert Town, and he immediately understood what Lilith meant.

"I probably can't even read it. I have lost most of my memory. Many things are done by instinct."

The clown mask shook his head, pointed at the ticket in Avanti's hand, and explained helplessly to everyone,

"Even when I sold and gave the train tickets to Xiao Zai Zai before, it was my subconscious behavior. Before that, I didn't know that I had these things... woohoo, so I'm sorry, this time I Just skip it!"

To no avail, and it was really late, the three majors and one small decided to go back to work on their own, and wait for the next round of gods to take away the people before deciding on the time for the party.

However, although they regarded each other as allies, they acted independently when they left. It was obvious that they were quite cautious, for fear that if they were not careful, the entire army would be wiped out.

Of course, this is also because they don't know whether the ban in the town has been lifted.

Because the time of coming and going of the gods is not constant. In the past, they used to stay until the sunrise was about to leave.

◆

"Oh oh oh ─ ─!"

The next day, Uncle Jenomie's call rang through the dessert town quite punctually from the first moment of sunrise.

Everyone woke up from their dreams one by one, and the whole town was rejuvenated. It seemed that they didn't feel the sluggishness of last night at all.

The family of three in Mushroom House enjoyed Ms. Taylor's love breakfast, and then those who should go to school went to school, and those who should go to work hurried to work. It seemed that the days were as usual, but it always made people feel that something was about to happen... ..

"Afanti Afanti! Let me tell you, I have a younger sister!"

When Avanti arrived at the class, before he even had time to put down his small schoolbag, Little Treasure the Snail dragged his body, seemed very excited to rub against him, and whispered:

"Super cute, the shell is soft and small, with a little thorn, very special!"

"But my sister is still too young, and my father said that I can't show it to everyone...so do you want to go to my house to see my sister?"

The birth rate in Dessert Town is not bad. I heard that more than a dozen babies were born throughout the year.

Occasionally, pregnant women can be seen walking on the road. As Dr. Appie said in the previous chat, the birth time of newborns in the dessert town is more regular.

──So, Avanti can be sure that Xiaobao's sister came at the wrong time.

Or it should be said that when Xiaobao said that the gods were going to add a younger sister to their family, Avanti already felt that something was wrong.

It's just that Avanti didn't expect that the gods' movements would be so 'quick', and within a few days, they had already heard the news that the jewel snail family was expecting a baby.

"But you haven't heard about your uncle's pregnancy recently?"

Afanti remembered it clearly, obviously Xiaobao was worried that he would not have a chance if he wanted younger siblings, and Uncle Congo was also very sad that he would not be able to conceive, right?

"It must be that the gods felt that our family's performance in the festival work was particularly good recently, and they decided to surprise us in advance!"

Snail Xiaobao didn't think this would be a problem at all, and happily told Avanti how cute his new sister was.

From the details, it sounds like this younger sister appeared out of thin air on Uncle Congo's bed this morning.You have a translucent milky white soft shell at your feet, and it really looks like it has just hatched.

"Well, if I want to see your younger sister, should I bring something?" Avanti is very clear, for the cubs, inviting friends to see their newborn siblings at home is considered a sign of liking each other .

Due to emotion and reason, and in the position of being a guest, of course Avanti couldn't go there empty-handed.

However, ordinary snails eat fruits and vegetables leaves, but there are obviously many things in the dessert town that have nothing to do with common sense.

──After all, snow mountain rabbits can eat meat, golden-tailed monkeys like to eat egg tarts, and snails that don’t have enough jewels may like to eat chicken legs!

"Ah, no need, the cubs of our gem snails seem to eat different things. My father asked me to go to the clinic every day to pick up my sister's rations!"

The pair of tentacles on Xiaobao's head fluttered from side to side. It looked like it was really on his head. He was so excited that he even walked in an S shape.

The other students were also very excited when they found out. Not everyone has seen such a small cub, but they are very polite, knowing that Xiaobao Snail’s father doesn’t want too many people to come to see the cub in a short time Finally, he obediently did not play tricks.

"Then, then I'll bring a little crown tomorrow and give it to my sister, googoo!"

Qianxi seems to have entered the puberty stage early recently, and her body grows much faster than her classmates, so she can only speak hard to stick her body to the ground.

"Then I'll use my feathers to weave a small scarf for my sister!"

When Ai Bo heard his little friend say this, he shook his head from side to side in distress, and said after a long time,

"Oh! Uncle is so powerful that we don't have time to prepare... But that's good, he is a child favored by the gods!"

The preschoolers are all cubs who grew up together, and they are very familiar with each other.There are not many people with brothers and sisters in the family, and it has always been acquiesced that there is one child in the family.

It is impossible not to be envious, but most of these things require the permission of the gods, so everyone thinks it is because they are not well-behaved enough...

"Xiaobao, Xiaobao, is it because you go to bed on time?"

"Did you buy your toothbrush from Hedgehog's?"

"Xiaobao, do you usually help uncle look at the goods?"

Everyone wants to be a good kid, and everyone tries very hard to be a good kid.

As long as the gods see their efforts, they will definitely reward them.

──And the festival is coming soon, everyone bought clothes for the festival at Shining Liang department store, just wanting to perform well in front of the gods!

If you can satisfy the gods, is there any small wish that can be granted by the gods?

"Huh? Why didn't Annie come to school today?"

While listening to everyone's twittering questions, and admiring the predicament of Little Treasure the Snail who is rarely the protagonist in the class and is struggling to answer all kinds of weird questions, Afanti discovered this strange phenomenon belatedly.

You know, the cubs in Dessert Town are very well-behaved and serious.

In particular, the rules of the college are strict, and there is teacher Lilith watching over the preschool [-]/[-]. If anyone does not come to school, the parents will be notified almost immediately.

...I heard that someone was too naughty before, and the serious principal grandpa punished the parents together!

"Classmate Annie's grandma passed away last night, so there is something going on at home today, so I deliberately asked for leave before I can come here."

At this moment, Teacher Lilith's voice sounded as gentle as possible, as if trembling and indescribably panicked.

At this time, the sad breath hit Xiaobao Snail's joy of having a younger sister and being born again without any precaution.

Cubs have grown up in love since they were born, and death is quite strange to them, and everyone has rarely been in touch with this.

But they instinctively panicked about it. Besides, it was so serious that Annie couldn't come to school. How serious was it?

"What is death? Can't even Doctor Appie treat it well?"

Finally, at this moment, someone broke the fragile tranquility.

It was Xixi, her huge body was trembling slightly, and the feathers all over her body were blown off, making the cubs look even more spectacular.

"That's right! Dr. Appie's technique is very good!"

"Death should mean sickness, right? So, can't we go to the clinic and ask Dr. Appie for help?"

"Or Ms. Taylor? I remember that Granny Smith of Anne's family was still operating in the clinic recently, so maybe Dr. Appie will help grandma check up. We can ask Ms. Taylor to come over!"

Some people started their heads, and the rest of them quickly turned their clever little heads, talking one after another.

Some people even turned their heads to look at the position of Avanti, and said excitedly:

"And Avanti is in our class! If there is something really wrong, we can also ask Avanti to go back and ask Dr. Appie!"

Hearing this, Teacher Lilith couldn't control her state anymore, tears suddenly burst from her red eyes.

They were still saying last night that people in Dessert Town never seem to meet death...even if Lilis thinks they don't have the opportunity to watch the older people in the town do experiments...but never Never thought of starting from Granny Smith.

"Death is not illness."

After all, Lilith is well aware of her responsibilities in the preschool class, not to mention the current development, she also understands that she can't do anything casually.

If the 'gods' really knew everything about Dessert Town, would they have been waiting to see their reaction from the beginning to the end, and then made adjustments or changes like a cat and a mouse, catching them off guard? Woolen cloth?

"Then what is death?"

It's a pity that the joys and sorrows of adults and cubs are not connected, and they haven't figured out the weight and meaning of "passing away", so they can only look at Teacher Lilith with ignorant eyes, hoping to get an answer.

Teacher Lilith suddenly felt quite speechless.

Because teaching is her duty, especially in the past, every class that she brought out by herself is often the most praised by everyone.

──Everyone will say that as long as you give the little cub to Teacher Lilith, you will never have to worry about any problems. You are polite and know not to bring trouble to the family. The atmosphere at home is very good.

This is especially true of Granny Smith, who often bakes all kinds of delicious biscuits by herself, and asks Annie to take them to Teacher Lilith quietly.

It’s not a bribe, just a little bit of gratitude, but the taste is exactly the same as Lilith’s grandmother made before wearing the book, so she also likes the hedgehog family very much.

"Passing away means that you will never see the other party again. You only know that the other party hopes that you can become a better little cub, and leave all the blessings and love to you."

Teacher Lilith sniffed lightly, then bent down, and hugged the cubs in the classroom one by one, trying to raise a gentle smile on her face, and spoke to them carefully.

"As for the deceased, they need to be treated by Dr. Appie again, but it is more complicated and takes a long time, so it will take a long, long time to come back to see our little cub. "

"But everyone should know that although they have been treated in the past, they have never forgotten you, so no matter what, we must happily send them away, lest they miss you too much, and the treatment time will be prolonged in the end!"

Death is a very abstract concept for cubs, but Teacher Suo Xing Lilith really deserves the title of the number one preschool teacher in the dessert town in this respect.

So even if everyone doesn't fully understand the concept of death [-]%, they understand that this is a separation without a deadline.

It is also more understandable why little Annie can't come to school today, and they all expressed their hope that several representatives could be selected to visit Annie.

"Afanti represents us to visit Xiaobao's sister, so let's choose a representative to visit Annie and Granny Smith too!"

Teacher Lilith was quite alarmed when she first heard the news of Granny Smith's death.So before stepping into the classroom, I knew that the cubs were chatting, but Teacher Lilith didn't take it seriously.

"...What did you say?" But now that I heard it clearly, and saw Avanti's serious look, what else does Teacher Lilith not understand?

She couldn't help but feel chills all over her body, and the shudder suddenly went from the soles of her feet all the way to Tianlinggai, and the whole fox was going to be sick.

why?Why did it happen?

Who is behind this manipulation?

"Xiaobao said earlier that their family will probably have a new baby after the festival, but they didn't expect to be unable to wait, so they came this morning."

Seeing this, Afanti sighed slightly in his heart, then bouncing forward to stop Teacher Lilith and the other cubs, giving both parties a buffer space.

"Since this is the case, I will trouble Ai Bo and Xixi to visit Annie together. You are both girls, so you must have a lot to talk about."

The cubs have no objection to this, and what Avanti said is not wrong. Annie may be sad now. With the lively and funny Aibo and Xixi, the atmosphere will definitely improve quickly.

"As for me, my dear Ms. Taylor just said yesterday that I just made a new good thing and will distribute it to Auntie Bijia and Uncle Congo. Maybe I can bring this little surprise there in advance."

In the dessert town, the mayor is the most authoritative, the owner of the power plant is the most friendly, and Dr. Appie and Ms. Taylor are the most credible.

Snail Xiaobao was worried that his father would take care of himself and his sister alone, and it would be very hard to work... Now when he hears that there are good things that can nourish his father, he immediately smiles, thinking that he is worthy of Avanti, who is careful More thoughtful!

──Is that why everyone likes him?

──The gods will definitely like Avanti too!

◆

Because the gem snail family is mainly responsible for the delivery and transportation of the dessert town, the place where they live is in a straight line with the town's exit and Shining Liang department store, which is convenient for Congolese uncle to commute to get off work.

At the same time, as long as you take a short cut in this place, you can go to school to pick up Xiaobao Snail from school in the shortest time, so it is very convenient.

When Avanti and Xiaobao the snail are out of school in the afternoon, the neighbors near the gem snail's residence already know that Xiaobao is an older brother.

Because of the relationship with the cubs, everyone consciously did not enter the house to disturb them, but walked lightly, and put all the things to be given to their family in the yard by category, so that Xiaobao could directly put them in the house inside.

"Oh! I wanted to ask the beautiful Ms. Taylor to pick you up from school... I didn't expect to come to this point in a hurry, I forgot, sorry, sorry!"

Inside the room, Dr. Appie poked out half of his fluffy head suddenly, and the round silver mirror frame shone extra sharply under the sunlight.

But when Avanti looked back intently, it seemed that there was only tenderness in his eyes and the familiar playfulness.

Snail Xiaobao's younger sister is being skillfully held in Dr. Appie's arms at the moment, holding her little butt with one hand, and putting the snail shell on the shoulder and neck to avoid being tired.

The other hand held the feeding bottle, which contained a light blue liquid, so that the little girl could pour it down.

──Avanti noticed keenly that the light blue liquid contained shiny jewel-colored fine powder, and there was even a flake of mica in the middle, but it could pass through the mouth of the little snail without any hindrance, and gobbled it up without hesitation inside.

"Wow! My sister's appetite is good!" Xiaobao and his sister have only been separated for half a day, and they have already missed her very much.

Reminded by Ms. Taylor, the two cubs hurriedly washed their hands, and asked Ms. Maine Coon to check them again. Then they each took their 'gifts' and slowly approached the cubs from a safe distance. .

"Hehe, don't be nervous, don't be nervous, brothers won't compete with you for food, it's all yours!"

Dr. Apiye does not know how many children he has delivered, and he is very proficient in coaxing babies.

Knowing that Xiaobao and Avanti are mostly curious about the appearance of the cubs, let's not show them right now, cubs can always find a way to achieve their goals.

So Doctor Xueling Rabbit swayed his body a little, so that the little girl could be slightly distracted to try to bite the bottle, and at the same time, he could bend his body so that Avanti and Xiaobao could see the little girl's appearance clearly.

"Wow! My little sister is so cute!" The snail Xiaobao just never gets tired of watching his little sister, and she is so fresh, even the cubs who drink milk are very happy to sneeze.

As for the 'class representative' Avanti, it was more professional, and the three-petal mouth immediately uttered a series of words wishing the cubs health, safety and happiness, which amused everyone in the room.

"Afanti is really smart. I really hope that our little Mitty will grow up to be like my elder brother." Uncle Congo was full of joy, whether he was looking at Xiaobao or Afanti and the little girl, he was gentle. And rejoice.

And when the little gem snail finally turned to the front of Avanti, Avanti stepped on his right foot quietly with his left foot, forced himself to hold back the scream, and then said with admiration and envy:

"Little Mitti is so cute, and her shell is so special, it must be that the gods want her to be a unique cub."

"Yeah! Do you think so too? That would be great!"

Uncle Congo obviously liked this explanation very much, his tone of voice suddenly became relaxed and excited, and the smile on his face was genuine.

At this time, Avanti made eye contact with the little girl who just opened her eyes, and the fur from the back of her head to the soles of her feet stood up reflexively.

──Because he inexplicably saw a look in the eyes of Granny Smith from a newborn cub...

──Even on the opponent's gem-like light purple back shell, you can clearly see the small hedgehog-like lines, like marble, beautiful is beautiful, but it makes people stand up with goosebumps and creeps.
