"You... uh... you live here??" Chu Xia was thinking about how to chat with a little zombie, and after thinking for a long time, she finally asked such a sentence.
The little zombie tilted his head as if listening to her question carefully, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded.
"Then you are the only one here??" Chu Xia turned around and glanced deep into the cave. The endless cave looked particularly scary in the dark. What if there was more than one little zombie here? What if Zong Yu kills this little zombie and more zombies appear behind him?
The little zombie listened to Chu Xia's question, nodded, and then shook his head. A pair of red eyes looked at Chu Xia pitifully, and his voice was hoarse and gloomy: "Mom..."
"Uh..." Chu Xia was stunned for a moment after hearing this word, and then tried to ask: "Do you want to say that you live here with your mother??"
The little zombie continued to nod.
"What about your mother?? Uh... I mean, where is your mother's zombie??"
The little zombie shook his head again.
“…”
Chu Xia stared at him with a pair of big black and white eyes. This classmate, you nod your head and shake your head. What do you want to express?
Seeing Chu Xia's confused expression, the little zombie simply got down on all fours, crawled a few steps in her direction, and then pitifully shouted to her: "Mom..."
"..." Chu Xia couldn't help turning her head and glanced at Nie Hanqiu, then looked back at the little zombie in front of her, stretched out a white and slender finger, pointed at her nose and asked him: "You... you Are you calling me mother??"
The little zombie nodded, looking at her with longing eyes, like a puppy abandoned by its owner.
"But your mother..." Chu Xia froze, the corners of her lips moved slightly, and she felt like she was speechless. In the flash of lightning, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration and asked the little zombie : "Did you just want to say that you used to live here with your mother, but then your mother disappeared, and you were the only one left living here?"
The little zombie tilted his head and listened carefully to Chu Xia's words. After a moment, he realized what he was saying, nodded towards her, then crawled a few steps in her direction, and said in a low voice from his throat: "Mother..."
"He... does he think of me as his mother??" Chu Xia turned to look at Nie Hanqiu dumbfounded.
Nie Hanqiu looked at her expressionlessly, nodded after a while, and said in a low and slow voice: "Yes."
"Then... I shouldn't be in danger, right?" Chu Xia's eyes stopped on his big hand that was holding her tightly.
"..." Nie Hanqiu hesitated for a moment, and finally let go of her hand.
As soon as Chu Xia was free, she smiled brightly at him, took three steps and two steps at a time, walked up to the little zombie, hesitated for a moment, then reached out and patted the little zombie's hat.
"Ka... Mom..." The little zombie looked at her with some sluggish reaction, and his red eyes looked straight at Chu Xia.
"Good boy, are you scared to stay here alone??" Chu Xia smiled, looked at him, and asked softly in a low voice.
"Ka..." The little zombie didn't answer, but nodded stiffly.
"Do you want to leave here??"
Good night
