"There are traces of dragging back and forth in this footstep...... Looks like many times walking here...... Well, if you look for the footprints, you will ......" Will looked behind the footprints with his spear, stunned.

A small child stood at the end of the trail, holding a conch in his hand, dragging behind him a mesh bag made of hemp straw, with only a few simple leaves on his body.

It's coming in this direction.

The two looked each other in the eye.

Weir could see that beneath the coiled hair was a dirty, emaciated face, with hair sticking out of its ears slightly.

The child's body was very thin.

The eyes were large, pure, but with a hint of stunned and wary hostility.

It's a star spirit, a child of a star spirit!

It immediately occurred to Veir that there must be a village of star spirits on or near this island!

But the first thing is not to scare the child in front of you, and to be kind and kind.

"Hey ......" Will said in greeting, but the little boy took a wary step back, threw the rope net on the ground, and took two steps back.

Holding the conch in his hand, he didn't let go.

Shaken for a moment, Ver looked at the spear he was holding in his other hand and placed it gently on the ground.

"You...... Hello. Wiel greeted the child tentatively.

"Humph!" The little child arched his chin forward and let out two nasal grunts.

"Huh?" Weir opened his mouth slightly, a little unclear about the child's reaction.

"Hello, what's your name?" It's okay to communicate with Boreis, and it should be okay to communicate with this kid...... Vere thought so, and took another step forward. "Tell my brother, what's your name?"

"Humph!" The little boy looked at Vere's feet, and when Veel stepped forward, he took a step back.

"Huh?" Will is a little strange, is this little kid so tsundere? Ask a name and answer like that? Is it a strange way of communicating?

"Humph!" The child still screamed, staring at the tips of Will's toes, his eyes becoming more and more vigilant.

Weir didn't go any further, "Okay, okay, I'm not leaving, you don't have to be so nervous...... Can you understand what I'm saying? ”

"Humph!" The child breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Wiel was no longer moving forward. "Huh?"

"Looks like you don't understand what I'm saying...... Hmph, what is this...... "Will had to think of some other way to make the child feel his kindness.

He found that the child's body was still very thin, and he was shivering a little under the blowing of the sea breeze.

Maybe food was a good choice, but Veel didn't have anything right now.

Make a dress, Will has made up her mind.

"Don't move...... That's it, wait here...... Don't go, don't go. The child stared at Wille as he walked in the direction of some sedlenness on the side.

The child slowly walked towards the net on the ground.

The child took a step forward, and Wille stopped, and the boy took two steps back as soon as he saw Wille stop.

"It's okay...... Not...... Alas~" Hurried a few steps in the direction of the hemp grass, keeping his eyes on the child. "Yes, just don't move, don't move......"

Ver muttered something he knew the child didn't understand, and then turned around quickly to pull out some grass, and came the sound of Suo Suo behind him, and Ver quickly looked back.

I found that the child was dragging the net, dragging the big net bag into the distance, and the small body was trying to walk towards the distance.

"Alas~alas! Don't go? ”

"Huh?!" The boy wanted to go, but he was reluctant to go until Ver came to his side, and then he looked at Ver vigilantly with a look full of resistance.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid of children, I won't hurt you...... You see. Weir tried to slow down, but the dripping water from his head and the handful of thatch in his hand made his image a little ...... Forehead...... Terror?

The child even let out a low grunt.

Ver stretched out his hand, the back of his hand glowing slightly, and a thatched garment appeared on his hand.

The child was stunned for a moment, then leaned over with some curiosity and arched his nose, and Weir could feel the coldness on the child's body.

"It's the clothes...... Don't move, I'll put it on for you. ”

The boy looked at Vere warily, but let her do his thing.

After a while, the child put on a thatched garment.

He looked a little uncomfortable, and Weir was curious, didn't this village of the Star Spirit have a decent garment?

Looking at the smell here and there in front of him, it was obviously strange why the child would warm up a lot, and Weier couldn't help but feel compassion in his heart.

"Child, where is your family? Can you take me there? "Wiel gestured, and the child was much less hostile." Family, your home, where you sleep, where are you going to send this net? ”

Will pointed to the net, and the kid shook his head and took a step back.

"It's not...... Home, where to sleep......" Will explained for a long time, and I didn't want to write up, it was a communication barrier.

Anyway, the kid finally understood what Veel was thinking.

His ears moved, and he looked in the direction of the footprints.

"Hmph~...... Hum! The boy walked forward with a conch in one hand and a bag in the other

Vere tried to help with the mesh bag, but was refused.

The two of them walked slowly in the other direction of the island.

After a while, Ver saw a half-crumbling stone wall appear in front of him...... The moon rock wall is the same as the one seen in the valley.

"A village with a star spirit!" Wille was pleasantly surprised, and his pace sped up by two steps.

The child snorted twice, not letting Wiel overtake him.

Weier had no choice but to follow the child slowly, and after walking a few steps, the child was already sweating a lot.

If the current appearance of Weir is photographed by reporters, if it is not said that he is benevolent and numb......

But Veel couldn't help if he wanted to, and the kid wouldn't let him.

It's slow, but the road will be finished.

Weir came to the side of this stone wall, which had been weathered in the wind, and even Moon Rock could not withstand the ravages of the sea breeze.

But Wiel's expectations were not fulfilled, for behind the stone walls there was no village, only the other side of the island.

It's still looking at the emptiness, and then looking at the panic.

The boy stopped beside the stone wall and lowered his fishing net, and Wille looked at the child, only to find that in the direction of the stone wall, there was a small earthen bag that was higher than the eye line, and behind the dirt bag, there was a small bamboo house.

That's the size, it's good to fit two beds.

"Oh, you live here...... It's just you...... One...... Piece...... Pig? ”

Wiel's eyes widened, and he went round the small mound, and at the back of the bamboo hut there was a pig-like thing sitting on the ground, and in front of it there was a flower.

The boy looked very happy, took the conch in his hand, which had never been put down, and walked to the side of the "pig".

"Humph! Hmph~Hmph~Hmph......" The child sat next to it and pointed to Vere, who was standing in a daze, but the pig did not react, still staring at the flowers in front of him.

The child snorted and talked for a long time, and Weir felt that the pig did not react, but he couldn't say, what if it was an alternative exchange?

He walked over and sat down gently beside the child, who ignored him, but the pig suddenly turned his head and glanced at Ver, and then at the rune on Vere's hand.

Then he looked at the little flower on the ground.

"You...... Hello? ”

If there was no response, the child looked at Ver as well, and then snorted again.

"Doesn't your nose hurt when you talk like this?" Wiel rubbed his nose, feeling a little uncomfortable.

It seemed that the child would continue to talk to it for a while, "It's better to make a fire while it's still early, bake clothes, and build a house by the way...... Looking at the small bamboo house, Weier didn't go to join in the fun.

So Wille got up lightly and walked towards a leeward and flat place not far away.

"It looks like it's still a long time to find Bo Ress and them." Ver stretched out his right hand, and then a white light shone from his eyes, and he saw a clear white light flowing straight in one direction, gradually disappearing in transparency—it was the direction of the sacred tree.

"Is it too far away?" Weir couldn't help but smack his lips, "I hope they're okay...... It shouldn't be fine......"

A cloud of black smoke rose from it, and Weir thought to herself, maybe it would let them know that she was still alive.

Then he took off his clothes and dried them.

"I have to find something to eat...... Wait and ask the kid. Will looked in the direction of the bamboo house.

Suddenly, there was a "whine" sound brought by the sea breeze in my ears, which was very clear and melodious.

"It's the conch......" Will heard the source of the voice. I haven't blown it for a long time...... and then I closed my breath and rested quietly.

At the back of the bamboo house, the child said he was tired and rubbed his nose. "Hmph, hmph, hmph." He raised the conch in his hand and gestured twice in front of the pig sitting there.

Then he took care of himself and blew gently, no tune, no rhythm, just casually, random blowing sound.

But the boy blew with relish, for when he had blown the first note, the pig looked at him and made a pig-like snort.

The child was delighted and continued to blow again.

……

The sea breeze pushed the waves, and in the intermittent whining, the night gradually came.

"No, here you go." One hand took the wooden skewer of the grilled fish, rubbed it with his little nose, the tip of his nose was scalded by the somewhat hot grilled fish, and the child threw the fish on the ground.

"Don't throw it away." Weir sighed, this is really a wild child, should have been raised by that pig? Anyway, the habits are very similar, isn't there anyone else on this island? So how do you know where you are? The maps are still there......

Picked up the grilled fish on the ground and patted it with his hand: "It's not clean, it's not sick." After two more beats on the fire, Wiel took the grilled fish in his hand and gently tore off a piece of meat from the fish. Here you go. ”

Ver put the piece of fish in the child's hand, and when he sniffed it, he ate it, and his eyes were fixed on the grilled fish in Wiel's hand.

"Alas~ Haven't you eaten it before...... How did you get to where you are now, it's really ...... Terrific. Ver muttered.

Then he gestured, and handed the fish to the child, and the boy was not stupid, and the scholar Weir looked like him, and carefully took a piece of it with his hand, put it in his mouth, and began to eat it.

"Hey~" Weir looked at the stars in the sky and took a bite of his grilled fish. "Where should I go?"

"Hmph~" the child snorted softly.

"Oh? It's gone...... Here you go. ”

"Where to go? How to get there? ”
