In the Abismo Belt, the month of September is the day of low tide. Silver had to rush back to the entrance at the end of the low tide, and if the tide returned, the entrance would be submerged in a sea of water. He will have to wait another year before he can go back, so that the things that sneaked out will be exposed, and even his sister Ji Xi, who was stealing, will also be punished.

In the past two years, my brother would always sneak out of the house. At first, I thought that my brother disappeared because he hid it too well. But with each game of hide and seek, the elder brother hid longer and longer, and gradually Ji Hei began to doubt, and finally discovered his brother's secret.

"Brother, are you going to play 'hide and seek' again today?" Ji Xi pouted, she knew that her brother was going out to the outside world to have fun again, and she didn't take herself to play.

"Oh, I'll be back with something delicious this time, too. Yin rubbed his sister's face, every time he went out, his sister helped him fool the housekeeper, otherwise he would have been found out a long time ago, and he would be imprisoned at home when the time came, and he couldn't go anywhere he wanted.

"But Ji Xi also wants to go out and play!" Ji Xi protested and stretched out her little fat hand, but there was no deterrence.

"No, no, no~ You're still too young!" Yin snorted, shook off his angry sister, and slipped away first.

This is the fourth time he has snuck out of the door. The dense forest and the hut in the forest are still the same, the only difference is that the little bean is getting bigger and bigger, and now it is far beyond his height.

"Yo, Silver, you're here!" Robin waved to the special friend.

For their siblings, the existence of silver has always been a mystery. Every September, he would appear in the woods near his home, stay for a week or two, and then disappear into the woods. Before going back, I would buy some pastries and snacks from the town.

Four years have passed, and the little bean has grown up, and Robin is now able to help his mother collect firewood in the bushes.

"Silver, you're still the same!" Robin looked up and down, he was now a head and a half taller than Silver, and his body had grown a lot of flesh, and he was no longer the dwarf he used to be. On the other hand, Yin, like four years ago, is still a milk doll, and time seems to stand still in him.

"Well, yes? But I'm a centimeter taller than I used to be. Yinbibi said seriously with his own head: "It's you who are growing too fast!"

"No, the kids in town are about the same height as us. Probably because you're growing up slowly!" Robin smiled, not paying attention.

Anil took the wreath and came to the two of them: "How long are you going to stay this time? I have made a wreath for you, if you have brothers and sisters, you can bring them back as gifts." ”

"Thank you!" Eun happily took it, intending to go back and give it to Kiki: "I should be able to play for a few more days this time." ”

"Then let's go now, there is a market in the town today, it must be very lively!" Robin led the two to the town with ease, and the brother and sister bought some groceries, while Silver went to the bakery to buy tarts and bread.

The owner of the bakery was very impressed with this little customer, he had never seen such beautiful blue hair, but he could not forget it at a glance.

"Yo, you're here again!" the boss beckoned to Silver, who only pointed to the tarts and bread to be bought on the cupboard, but did not answer.

The boss skillfully wrapped the goods and handed them to Silver: "Come back next time!" Silver didn't answer, and went out to find a partner with the bread.

"Dad, who is this little ghost?" the boss's son, Mike, came out of the back kitchen and looked at Silver's back, his eyes dark.

"I don't know. He comes this time of year, and this year is the fifth year. "The boss was busy checking out the bill, and he didn't notice anything unusual about his son, and today's business is exceptionally good, maybe he can close early.

"He doesn't seem to have changed ......"

"Maybe it's just slowing down...... The old tailor next door is not so tall, I heard that he has dwarfism. ”

"Yes...... Mike rolled his eyes, as if he had thought of something.

On the street, the three of them looked at the fun and food, and they forgot to go home. "It's getting late, we're going back to dinner!" said Robin, picking up his purchases and urging the two of them to follow suit.

At that time, a rogue man stood in front of him, and the other did not pay attention, and Robin crashed into it and fell to the ground.

"Little ghost!" the strong man grabbed Robin's collar and scolded loudly: "I don't look at the road when I walk, my clothes are dirty, what do you take to accompany you!"

Anil stood up, blocked the silver behind him, trembled his body, and said cautiously: "My brother, he didn't mean it, you let us go." ”

The man deliberately found fault with how he could let the brother and sister go so easily, he laughed lewdly: "That's not good, unless you go with me, I'll let your brother go." ”

Seeing that his sister was being bullied, Robin immediately kicked the big man, and the big man let go of his hand in pain and threw Robin to the ground: "Toast and don't eat and drink!"

Silver was supposed to stand by and watch coldly. But when the big man made a move, he set up his small body and rushed forward.

I saw a six-year-old milk doll kicking an eight-foot man out of the street. The people around were amazed and exclaimed.

Seeing more and more people gathering, Yinyan said that it was not good, and if he went down again, he broke the rules, left the two brothers and sisters, and returned to the dense forest with his things.

All this was clearly seen by Mike, who was mixed in the crowd.

This time for hide and seek, Silver only played for one day and went back.

For the next few years, silver did not return to the outside world. By the time he came out again, it was twenty years later.

He came to the woods near the hut and found that his little friend had changed a lot.

Robin is already an adult man, he is married and has children of his own. Anil is also slim, and the cottage has become more lively than before.

It was Anil who first discovered silver. She threw down her work and walked into the forest. Silver still hasn't changed, just taller than before, but still looks like a milk doll. She greeted Silver affectionately: "Silver, you are here! You haven't come to see our brother and sister for twenty years since that day, and we miss you so much!"

Looking at the familiar and strange old friend, Yin had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

"Long time no see, Anil. ”

The two talked for a long time in the woods, mostly from Anil to Silver. In her opinion, Silver never mentioned her own affairs, so she didn't bother to ask. As for the secret of his eternal appearance, it was only when he was an elf from the forest that he did not change.

Anil lured the silver to his home. Robin looked at Silver's appearance with shock in his eyes.

"Anil, who is this little guest?"

"Sister-in-law, it's my friend. ”

"Your friend, is that big?" said Minnie smiled, bringing out a cookie from the cupboard to entertain the little guest.

"It's a friend's child. Robin picked up Silver, put the man on the stool, and looked at Silver's appearance, feeling a little scared.

"Where's the woman?" Silver looked around, the house, much more spacious than when he first came, must have been renovated. But he didn't see the woman who handed him the tart.

Anil lowered his head, a trace of sadness in his eyes: "Mom, she...... I got sick last year and I'm gone. ”

Silver took the biscuit in his hand and put it down, not knowing what to say.

"Don't be too sad, she's going to be happy. Anil cheered up, as if she was relieved and relieved: "She took care of our brother and sister alone, and her body was already unbearable, leaving a stubborn illness, rather than being tormented by illness, it may be happier to go like this." ”

Minnie looked at Anil and Robin with some puzzlement, it was clear that there was only a six or seven-year-old child sitting at the table, but the sister-in-law said these complicated family matters, as if the person at the table was really her friend. Her husband also reacted strangely.

This is the first time Silver has faced 'death'.

He lived for seventy years, and in the eyes of his family, he was just a child. And outside, so much can change in just twenty years, and people can get married, have children, and even disappear.

After really feeling the difference, Silver sat in the room and slowly became estranged.

This time he didn't go to town again, but took Robin's cookies and went back.

When Mini was buying bread, he told Mike about it as a talking point. When Mike heard this, he instantly remembered the blue-haired boy twenty years ago.

He told Minnie that if the boy came back, let him know and he would make bread and visit, and he said that the boy's father was his old customer.

Minnie agreed.

Thirty years later, Silver was already a hundred years old, and as the days went by, he always remembered his former friends. So, on the night of his 100th birthday, he went to Robin's house again.

This time, Robin didn't bring Silver to his home.
