"Hey!" The boy waved his hand and greeted her, showing a mouthful of white teeth when he smiled.

"Hey......" Shaida waved her hand as well, not understanding why he was sitting on the tree.

In the midst of the mountains and forests, everything is silent, and its vastness reduces the number of human traces to almost zero. At this moment, the sudden appearance of this young man really startled Xia Yida, and in a trance she thought that he was some kind of special life form growing in the mountains and forests.

"Are you here for the tournament too?" The teenager asked.

Shaida's mind was then dragged back to reality, and she realized that it was the middle of the race, and the mountains were full of contestants looking for "Dream Birds".

If it's a contestant, it's a competitor!

For a person with the status of "competitor", Shaida, who participated in such a large-scale competition for the first time, had no experience, and she didn't know what kind of attitude to get along with him, so she was a little panicked for a while.

After thinking about it for a long time, I didn't know what to do, so I had to tell the truth: "Yes." ”

The boy looked at her and burst out laughing.

"For the Four Nations Athletic Tournament, the Higgins Mountain has been closed, so the people you can meet must be the participants." He had a smile on his face, but he didn't look joking, but seemed straightforward and sincere, "Okay, my name is Amiya, a contestant of the North Country Border Hunter Dance Troupe." ”

"The Land of the North!" Shaida blurted out.

"Huh? Why, are you also from the North Country? ”

Being stared at by Amiya's frank and straightforward eyes, Shaida suddenly felt why she was so small-bellied.

For a sincere person, how can you get along with him without a sincere heart?

"I'm also from the country of the north.,A player from the Northern Capital School Park.,My name is Xia Yida.。 She also introduced herself.

"What a coincidence!" Amiya looked very happy, "I thought you were a player from Higashino Kuni!" ”

As he spoke, his tone hesitated, and a hint of blush appeared on his face: "You are not like a native of the North Country, you are very special...... Beautiful too......"

Hearing these words, which became a little low, Xia Ida couldn't help but blush—she really didn't experience much of this scene of being praised shyly by the boy she had just met.

"I ...... I'm from Higashinokuni, but, but I learned to dance in Kitanokuni......" She unconsciously became a little stammering.

Sure enough, I'm still not good at dealing with such a scene.

Shaida glanced at Amiya, his appearance was quite different from that of a typical northern country like Konstantin, with dark hair and eyes, and a dark complexion, more like some of the minorities of the East Country.

However, there are also many ethnic groups in the northern country, especially in the border areas, didn't he say that he belonged to the "border dance troupe"?

The boy's appearance and honest temperament suddenly reminded Shaida of her own people, and a sense of intimacy arose.

The boy was still sitting on the branch, not moving.

"Shaida, you're also looking for the Dream Bird, can we two be together?"

"Together?" Xia Ida was taken aback, and it took a long time to react, "How can that be?" Isn't it a race now? We...... But a competitor! ”

Amiya sighed.

"I know, but I'm not going to take advantage of you, I have an advantage that no one else has, because I've seen this bird, I know its habits, and I know where it's more likely to live, and I can help you narrow down your search to a fifth of what it was."

Shaida was dumbfounded. The Higgins Mountains are so big, three days, plus the attenuation of mental power, it is uncertain how much area can be searched, such information, isn't that a charcoal in the snow?

However, Xia Ida is not a person who likes to take advantage of others, especially this kind of cooperation, which will make her feel an inexplicable feeling of "betrayal" and "cheating".

"I think...... I don't need to—huh...... Actually, it's unacceptable! She said, "Because I have nothing, nothing to give you, to exchange for such precious information." And, if the two of us look for it together, what will our team do? ”

The smile on Amiya's face gradually dimmed, like a bright candle flame extinguishing little by little.

"Actually, I asked you......" the boy said in a low voice.

He adjusted his sitting position in the tree and stuck his right leg out. Shaida was shocked by what she suddenly saw, and cried out "ah".

The cuff of the boy's right leg had been rolled up, and a shocking blood mark on his calf was clearly visible. It was a very new wound, so new that it was still bleeding out.

"As you can see, I just noticed something unusual about this area, and when I climbed the tree to observe, I hurt myself." He said calmly.

In fact, injuries and bleeding in the wild have long been commonplace for Shaida, who grew up in the natural environment. However, when she saw the hideous wound on the right leg of the young man in front of her, there was a "buzz" in her mind, which almost made her lose the ability to think.

A good teenage dancer, a wounded right leg, blood, pain, all of these elements are too much for today's Shaida to bear.

Even tears poured out of his eyes at once, falling down his cheeks one by one.

Amiya's next words were choked back into his throat, and he looked at the girl who was suddenly crying in surprise, a little overwhelmed.

"I'm sorry......" for a long time before he spoke, "Did I scare you......"

Shaida shook her head and wiped a handful of tears to calm herself. She untied her backpack from her body, threw it on the ground, took a deep breath, and climbed up the tree with her hands and feet.

At this moment, Amiya was dumbfounded.

"I thought that the little girl dancing couldn't climb a tree......"

Shaida burst into tears and laughed: "Well, you shouldn't climb a tree, but there's no way to do it right now - come, give me your hand." ”

At this moment, for some reason, what came to mind was Gray's stiff face. He hated it when dancers risked their bodies, and if he saw her climb a tree, he would reprimand her with a straight face.

Well—now Gray, even when he has a cold face, his eyes are gentle—thinking of Gray's appearance, Shaida's face unconsciously turned red.

It's going to be separated for three days, and it's not even a day, and I don't think about him unconsciously.

However, Gray did not know that she was a skilled tree climber, and they both thought that there were few trees on the prairie. But less doesn't mean nothing.

Tree climbing was Shaida's favorite pastime as a child. She climbed up the tree with the agility of a monkey, and now she had become extremely careful not to let herself fall off the tree.

"You're here...... Help me down? Amiya was taken aback.

"yes, grab my hand. Trust me, I have enough strength not to let you fall. The girl said with an affirmative face.

After a few seconds of silence, a smile gradually appeared on Amiya's face again.

"Fool!" His face flushed almost imperceptibly, "It's not that serious. ”

As he spoke, he moved lightly from branch to branch, leaped lightly, and landed silently on the ground like a bird.
