System Rebirth: The Strongest Mecha Master in the Interstellar

Chapter 403: Annual Rings Unique to Living Things

Uncle Mao was stunned, but did not deny it: "They cannot grow up normally, so their minds naturally stay at this stage."

Lu Lulu was silent.

Chang Mingyue looked at the group of innocent children and felt a little sorry: "Are these the only children on the island?"

Uncle Mao shook his head: "No, there are other Salo people, but..."

“There are only children and old people on the island.”

Chang Mingyue and Lu Lulu looked at each other in surprise. No young and middle-aged people?

Liu Dachui heard this and was a little worried: "Maybe... Uncle Mao has heard that... wherever we go... bad things will happen?"

The kind smile on Uncle Mao's face froze, and his expression became extremely serious: "Kids, it's safe here."

"If there is a place in this world where the master feels the safest, it is here."

Lu Lulu paused and frowned slowly. Before Liu Dachui could react, North and Chang Mingyue had already sensed something was wrong.

Lu Lulu looked at Kirby, who was being pestered by a few naughty boys for snacks, and sighed: "Uncle Salo...is there anything we can help you with?"

Uncle Mao quietly looked at Kirby, who was annoyed by the little brat and rolled his eyes, and said softly: "The master said that no matter how powerful a genius is, he can't remain unscathed in the clash of two forces. He doesn't need you to take risks. He only asks you to stay by Kirby's side when he feels lonely."

Because of Uncle Mao's words and Kabi's father's approach of entrusting the child to others, Lu Lulu and the others felt a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, as night fell, the rest of the Salo family members on the island gradually appeared.

A mournful sound of a conch shell was heard, and the noisy children quieted down.

They stopped making a fuss and enthusiastically pulled Lu Lulu and the other six people towards the center of the island.

Lu Lulu and the other three friends finally gained some knowledge.

It turns out that the shell huts on the beach are just places for children to sleep after playing during the day, and deep in the coconut grove, huge and quaint blue castles stand there.

The surface of these buildings was still glowing with a cold light. Lu Lulu touched them and found that the walls were very clean, without a trace of dust.

It really is just as Kirby said, like a magnificent dragon palace.

At the entrance of the "Dragon Palace" stood a hunchbacked old man. His hair was still sea blue, but it was dry and looked like a handful of dried seaweed.

The old man looks very old, and he seems to be a beat slow whether he speaks or does things. His eyesight is not very good and he probably can't see clearly.

He couldn't see Lu Lulu and the other six, and was not particularly enthusiastic. He reached out his hand to grope, and Kirby quickly reached out and grabbed the other person. He touched Kirby's wrist and recognized Kirby.

He just cast his cloudy, lifeless eyes towards Kirby. His expression was moved and his eyes were kind: "Kirby is back? I made your favorite seafood for you."

Kirby smiled happily, yelled "Yeah!" and looked at his friends: "Let me tell you, Grandma Yuan's seafood is amazing!"

A dozen little kids were a little disappointed: "Why can't we have snacks with dinner?"

The old man at the door frowned immediately, and just as he raised his cane, the kids shut up.

In the huge blue castle, there are many glowing shells hanging, and the light is sufficient. Through the porch is a restaurant.

There are only two huge shell tables in the restaurant, one taller and one smaller, but both shell tables are very large and can seat more than twenty people.

The shell table was filled with seafood of all sizes packed in shells. The aroma was so tempting that Lu Lulu and the other four sniffed wildly.

There were already three people sitting at the big shell table, two women and one man, all of them elderly, and looked even older than the old man who led the others in.

Kirby immediately went over to greet them warmly. Lu Lulu noticed that he called one of the elderly people Grandma Yuan, and guessed that Grandma Yuan was the one who prepared this table of delicious food.

Kirby glanced around: "Where are Xiaofan and Helice? Where are the other brothers and sisters?"

Grandma Yuan sighed and said, "Hailisi is in the room taking care of the newborn baby. She is very weak... I'm afraid she won't live long."

"Xiao Fan has been accompanying her the whole time, so he probably won't come out to eat."

"The rest..."

Grandma Yuan seemed a little reluctant, and after a pause, she continued: "The child is already one year old."

The smile on Kirby's face disappeared in an instant.

Seeing Kirby's visibly sad mood, the four of them became a little worried.

Uncle Mao sighed and asked everyone to sit around the table.

Grandma Yuan and the other three elderly people were very kind. When they saw Lu Lulu, a hint of surprise flashed across their faces.

The three elderly people quickly stood up and tremblingly came to help Lu Lulu: "Old sister, please sit in this position. It's softer and good for your waist."

"Hey Kirby, you kid, why did you bring an old sister here without even saying anything about taking good care of her..."

Everyone was stunned.

For some unknown reason, Lu Lulu was helped by three old men to sit on a cushion.

Kirby was shocked. He didn't expect that the old people thought Lu Lulu was old and useless just like the little kids.

Lu Lulu: ………

Lu Lulu didn't understand what was going on, but she still noticed Kirby's shocked look and saw that several children at the small shell table over there were a little anxious.

One of the little girls lowered her voice and said to the four elderly people: "Grandpas and grandmas, Prince Kirby said that this old lady doesn't like people calling her old, and they should call her sister!"

Lu Lulu:?! …

"No...?! I'm only eighteen! Almost nineteen but... but I'm not old!"

Lu Lulu's eyes widened.

The atmosphere in the restaurant stagnated. When Grandma Yuan heard the children's reminder, she quickly changed her words: "Yes, yes, you are still young, you will always be eighteen..."

Lu Lulu: …………

"No...Listen to me, I'm really eighteen!"

Lu Lulu was anxious. Seeing the four old men looking at her with an accommodating attitude and eyes, she took a deep breath and looked serious: "How old do you think I am? Tell me seriously."

The four old people looked at each other, and Kabi realized that something was wrong, and asked, "Grandpas and grandmas, why do you also say that Lu Lulu is old?"

Grandma Yuan was silent for a moment, then said, "Kirby and his father may not be able to feel it...but we and our children are more sensitive to these things because of our genetic defects..."

Grandma Yuan looked at Lu Lulu seriously: "We can see the growth rings that are unique to the body."

According to Grandma Yuan, to determine how old a tree is, one needs to look at its cross-section and the growth rings.

But the Salo clan is very special. Only those with genetic defects can see the "annual rings" unique to organisms.

Lu Lulu pursed her lips: "Then take a closer look, how old is my body?"

The old man who led the way looked for a long time. His eyesight was not good, so he motioned Lu Lulu to stretch out her hand. He touched Lu Lulu's wrist, frowned, and shook his head: "Too many to count, so densely packed, too many."

Lu Lulu was a little anxious: "Then you can estimate it?"

A child, while chewing on a crab, replied: "It looks like it has existed longer than the stars, grandma...sister, you are more fossilized than a fossil."

Lu Lulu: ………It’s cracked…………
