The only thing Yang Ruoning could exchange for money was a ring on her hand. The ring, which she had picked up from a thrift store, was a replica of the famous 16th-century German astronomical ball ring. Several rings of different thicknesses engraved with astrological symbols are joined together to form a ring, and when opened, they form a sphere. Although it is an imitation, the workmanship is extremely fine, and Yang Ruoning likes it very much and often wears it.

It was a fine craft that did not belong to this era. Yang Ruoning only exaggerated slightly, and persuaded Hu Ye to reach this deal.

Hu Ye took the ring. "Together, it's love, and when it opens, it's everything. With the last auspicious words of the aunt, the business of this village is decided. ”

Yang Ruoning turned her head, looked at the little boy in the courtyard who was watching all this with wide eyes, and smiled at him.

When Yang Ruoning took the little boy's hand and walked through the bustling streets to the camp outside the city, she kept thinking about one thing in her heart. What to do next, Yang Ruoning thought. If the little boy has relatives, she can return him to their relatives. But what if not? There is a high probability that there is none, otherwise there would be no wandering alone. What's next for her? After all, she's only been here for a few days.

Yang Ruoning took out a pack of wet tissues from her backpack hidden in the bushes, took out one, and carefully wiped the dirt off the little boy's face and hands. The little boy did not speak, but looked at her quietly.

She saw her own figure reflected in his dark, clear pupils. She smiled at him, "Hi, I'm Ivy, nice to meet you." ”

The little boy didn't speak, just looked at her. Probably because she was frightened, or because she didn't trust her as a strange "aunt". Yang Ruoning thought. She shrugged her shoulders and didn't care. She turned around and took out the small gas stove and quickly cooked him a meal.

Just instant noodles and some canned ham, which were ready in a short time and placed in a silicone folding bowl. Yang Ruoning handed him the bowl.

He glanced strangely at the bowl handed over by Yang Ruoning. Yang Ruoning scratched her head a little apologetically, "Uh...... I'm not very good at cooking......"

Before he could finish speaking, the little boy grabbed the fork and devoured it. It seems that he is starving.

After that, Yang Ruoning took him around Youzhou City for two more days, but there was still no gain. She decided to go back first. For a while, she had Jaso in mind

； Second, the food she brought with her penniless was almost finished, and she needed to go back to get something that could be sold, and also to have a guarantee for the little guy's life in the future.

In this way, Yang Ruoning led the little boy for two more days and returned to the valley. She camped by the creek in the valley. She used some fruit candy to get a set of clothes from a child in a neighboring village. She wanted to give the little boy a bath and fix his bird's nest-like hair.

She sat on the gentle slope of the river and looked at the little boy bathing in the shallow river not far away. The little boy with a red face just now insisted on washing himself. Yang Ruoning let him go. He was very obedient, always silently holding Yang Ruoning's hand, following behind her, and listening to her babbling. However, he did not reply to her, only nodded and shook his head at her question. Even when Yang Ruoning took out the tablet to play cartoons to him, he never made a sound. Yang Ruoning thought that he might not be able to speak.

After a while, he came out of the river, put on his coat indiscriminately, and rushed towards Yang Ruoning, and then he handed the things in his hand to Yang Ruoning.

Yang Ruoning was about to jump. Isn't that exactly a camera? The thing I've been looking for for so many days turns out to be around here.

She happily patted the little one's head, "Haha, thank you, little one!" ”

The little boy looked up at her. His eyes lit up.

She crouched down, keeping her eyes level with him. Yang Ruoning said, "Hey, little guy, my sister needs to leave for two days. I need to go back to see my brother, he's sick. Also make some plans for your future life. ”

His bright eyes seemed to be clouded with moisture when he heard that she was leaving, but he didn't cry.

"Hi little one, sister will be back soon...... However, after that...... There is no way for my sister to be by your side. Because my sister ...... From another world. That world...... There's no way you can go. ”

He bowed his head in disappointment, turned and walked away. Yang Ruo stared at his small back, a little distressed.

That night, Yang Ruoning and him lay side by side on the grass, and the starry sky was covered with stars in the summer night.

Yang Ruoning pointed to the sky and said, "Look, there are three very bright stars side by side, and that is Orion. She rubbed over to the little boy and pointed to the three stars, "We have a mythical story about Orion." ”

"Legend has it that the god of the sea had a son, very handsome and burly, and he loved to hunt. One day, while hunting, he met the beautiful goddess of the moon, and the two were quickly attracted by each other's beauty and amazing hunting skills, so they fell in love. But all this made the sun god very angry, because he also loved his sister, the goddess of the moon. So the cunning sun god asked the goddess of the moon to join him in an archery competition, but he did not tell her that the target was her sweetheart. As a result, the moon goddess killed her sweetheart with an arrow. The goddess of the moon was so grief-stricken that she wanted to die with her sweetheart, but was saved by Zeus, the god of the universe who passed by. Zeus was embarrassed to hear the story of the moon goddess, so he raised the son of the sea god to the sky and turned into Orion, so that he could be by the moon goddess's side for the rest of his life. ”

"Isn't it a beautiful story?" She looked at him and asked.

The little boy curled up in her arms, as if he had fallen asleep.

"Sister hopes you can be brave. The so-called courage is not ignorant fearlessness, but knowing that the road ahead is difficult, but also to go on firmly. I'll be cheering you on in the world over there. Yang Ruoning said to him softly.

The next day, Yang Ruoning handed over the little boy to the old monk in the small temple and asked the temple to take care of him for two days. The old monk readily agreed.

The little boy's face was flushed, and tears were rolling in his dark eyes, and it was obvious that he was holding back tears.

He didn't take a few steps before he was grabbed by a small hand behind him. There were bean-sized tears on his cheeks, and his eyes were full of pleading, and Yang Ruoning couldn't bear it.

She crouched down and wiped the tears from his little face. Yang Ruoning took off the necklace around her neck and put it on the little boy's neck.

There is a small artificial diamond hanging from the chain. She hadn't taken off the chain for years.

Now, she wears the necklace around the little boy's neck. She told him, "This is my sister's most precious thing." Can you keep it for my sister for a few days? ”

He nodded vigorously. Then, he reached out his small fist in front of her. The fist slowly unfolded, and in the palm of his hand was a small wooden carving of an animal that was so rough that he didn't know what kind of animal he carved. Horse? Or a pig?

"This is for me?" She asked.

The little boy pursed his lips and nodded vigorously.
