Isolde slept deeply, and when he woke up dazedly, it was already the morning of the next day.

Lorother just pushed the door into the room with a bunch of wild fruits, and threw one at him. Isolde caught it, a fruit similar to red snake fruit, and he rubbed it on his body and took a bite, his mouth muffled. Unclearly asked: "Is there any wild fruit here?"

"It's not wild fruit, it's given by the residents here." Loser turned sideways, revealing a skinny boy behind him.

The boy timidly hid behind the door, with a pair of fluffy brown-red pointed ears on his head and a big fluffy tail on his buttocks.

Lother handed him all the remaining wild fruits, leaned over and packed his luggage: "Last night, some residents from here came over and found out that we were only hiding here for a while, so they asked us to go to their village. It’s not very safe where we are now.”

Isolde picked up the second wild fruit, pointed at the child and asked, "What does that child do?"

Loser said helplessly, "It seems to be the son of the village chief, who insisted on sending him to lead us."

The little boy knew that they were talking about him, so he didn't dare to talk to him. He just climbed the doorpost, hiding half of his face, and poked out two pairs of bright and curious brown eyes.

Isolde lowered his head to touch the package, and sure enough, he found a lollipop. The pure golden ball was sprinkled with gold powder.Lorother, who was on the side, saw this lollipop and knew whose taste it was, and the corners of his eyes twitched again.

Isolde took the candy and slowly approached the child. When he walked in, the child’s eyes never left the glittering golden lollipop. Isolde spread the lollipop in his hand and handed it to him , with an unbelievably gentle tone: "Here."

The child looked up at him hesitantly, probably Isolde was acting too harmless, he stretched out his hand and carefully took the lollipop from Isolde's palm.

Isolde narrowed his eyes and smiled: "What's your name?"

The child pursed his lips and turned his head in embarrassment, and raised his finger to point at the wild fruit.

"The wild fruit is called Lianwu, which is a mutated species of red snake fruit. It is rare to adapt to the environment here, and it is one of the rare high-yield crops in the dark forest." Loser popularized the science, "Pack up your things, let the child lead the way. "

After listening to Lorother's words, the kid named Lian Wu bounced and ran a few steps outside the house. Seeing that Isolde didn't keep up, he looked back at the two of them suspiciously.

"We're coming." Isolde followed.

Lorother sighed faintly behind him: "If only you were so gentle with me."

"Boom" a lotus mist fruit fell on Lother's head, Lother raised his hand to catch the falling fruit, and added depressedly: "Actually, half gentleness is enough for me."

"Then you should be able to feel my tenderness at night."

Lorother was overjoyed: "Really?"

Isolde said slowly again: "In a dream."

Loser: "..."

On the way to the village, Lianwu led them through the woods and bushes, running fast like a little monkey in the forest. Occasionally, there were long hanging vines between the two trees, and he grabbed the vines Swinging a long distance lightly and skillfully.

Along the way, Lianwu didn't say a word. When he was playing in the forest like a swing, he would occasionally let out a hoarse laughter.

Following Lianwu's tail, Isolde secretly compared the position of his throat to Lother.

Lorother nodded slightly, the two looked at each other, and sighed almost inaudibly.

After wandering around in the forest for an hour, Lianwu finally led them to the village. The village was not big and was simply surrounded by hedges. A few Lianwu trees were planted at the gate.Among the children playing at the door, a sharp-eyed child saw them and shouted "Village Chief, Village Chief! Lianwu is back!" and ran to report.

The village head quickly came out to receive them and invited them into the house.The village chief was a strong middle-aged man with a big beard who looked like a hunter, but he was very enthusiastic in his words, and even vacated a house for the two of them to stay temporarily.

When leaving, the village chief called Lianwu to lead the way for the two of them.Lianwu returned to a place she was familiar with, and she was no longer restrained and shy, and even wanted to take them around her own village.

The villagers also looked very kind and hospitable. When other children saw a stranger coming to the village, they also came to watch curiously, and even pestered Isolde to ask, "Is it Big Sister?"

In the end, Lorther threw candy to each child before sending them away.

There was also the last child who was holding the door and refused to leave. Lorother pulled out his empty pockets to show him, and the child reluctantly left.

In the house, Isolde was pulling the straw from the house and studying it in his hands: "Strange, doesn't it rain here? This kind of straw is easy to soak in water."

Lother was looking at the house: "Can you still discern straw?"

"I used to build a house out of straw." Isolde threw down the straw, sat down on the floor, and said solemnly, "I think there's something wrong here."

Lorother lay down with his head on his hands: "Well, tell me."

"Look," Isolde snapped his fingers, "didn't it be said that the Dark Forest is no longer suitable for people to live in? As a result, there is still a small village here, and it seems that the residents in the village are still living pretty well. Yes, a house built with this kind of straw will be completely uninhabitable once it is flooded, which means that it does not rain here, but if it does not rain, how can the lotus tree at the gate of the village grow so well? There are still several knots on the tree. A lotus mist fruit!"

After all, Isolde felt that his analysis was pretty good, and waited for Lother's reaction with great interest.

In the end, it turned out that Lorother had already fallen asleep with his eyes closed. He looked very obedient when he slept with his eyes closed. He frowned slightly. He seemed to be several years younger. He usually raised his eyebrows and laughed around. Completely childish.

Isolde wrinkled his nose and said in a low voice: "And you, you have become very strange since you came to the Dark Forest!"

Lorother slept soundly this time. When he opened his eyes, the sky was dark, and he froze. He couldn't believe that he had slept so defenselessly all day.

Isolde stood by him, chewing some dried fruit that he didn't know where it came from, and slowly put a handful of it into his mouth: "You're awake, I thought you were going to sleep until tomorrow morning Woolen cloth."

Lorraine asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

Isolde nodded: "Lianwu brought me food, and the dried fruit from Zhuoyin, there is no share for you."

"Who is the voiced voice?"

Isolde put a handful of crunchy nuts into his mouth and chewed them loudly: "Well, Duanyin is the eldest son of the village chief."

Lorother lowered his head and smiled: "Xiao Yi made so many good friends while I was asleep."

Isolde heard the ambiguity in his words, did not reply, and concentrated on eating nuts.

"By the way," Isolde suddenly remembered, "The voice said that they have sacrificial activities tonight, and we can go and watch it!"

Lother said: "The race living in the dark forest sacrifices something. Aren't they a group of people who betrayed their own race's beliefs?"

"I think," Isolde looked at Lother seriously, "ever since you came to the Dark Forest, you have become...uh..."

Isolde tried hard to think of a word: "Emotional, um, that's right! If you were in the past, you would definitely say that it has nothing to do with us."

Lorother was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that the seemingly most heartless person would be the most sensitive. He said, "Actually, you just want to go, right?"

Isolde put away his expectant expression and turned his head: "No!"

Lorother: "...your expression has already betrayed you."

The two finally packed up and went out to watch.
