Chapter 5

Elsa had a good night's sleep.

When she woke up, the little squirrel had already been bouncing around her pillow, and its fluffy tail brushed her cheek several times.Elsa poked the little rascal with her index finger, and slowly sat up from the bed.

Bucky isn't in the cave, maybe he's gone to the little river in the middle.

Elsa yawned lazily, opened the curtain and walked out.The little squirrel followed at her feet, and after the curtain opened, it quickly ran out and disappeared.Elsa was not worried about this clever little friend, but looked for that person with her hazy eyes.

The water buckets on the side of the cave were all full, and a man in a black vest and black shorts was sitting on the grass not far from the entrance of the cave.There was a piece of flattened wood between his knees, and he held a dagger in his right hand, and he didn't know what was carved on it.

Seeing Elsa coming out, he turned his head and said good morning to Elsa.

Bucky's body recovered quickly.From the second day onwards, he was able to move freely. Up to now, five days have passed, and most of the wounds on his body have disappeared, leaving only some deep and shallow scars, but his memory is always blank.Elsa felt a little guilty about this. Although he didn't know why he would forget everything, he couldn't get around the metal arm controlled by her.But when she saw the clear green eyes looking at her intently, Elsa put the little bit of guilt behind her.

She is so happy because he is here; she is also too greedy, hoping that he will always be there.

Bucky put the dagger returned to him by Elsa back into his boot, and handed Elsa the unformed wood carving in his hand.

"For me?" Elsa took it in surprise, looked over and over again, and guessed what it was.

Bucky didn't speak much. He listened to Elsa most of the time before, and only responded when he was interested.But as the days passed, his condition became better and better, and he no longer remained silent when Elsa spoke to him, and sometimes he said something proactively: "...No. I just want to know what this is, I Think I've seen it, but I can't remember."

Elsa coughed guiltyly, and quickly returned the wood that seemed to be carved with a circular pattern to the dazed Bucky: "I don't know either. Okay, okay, I'll make something to eat. What do you want to eat?" ?”

Bucky pointed to the poor rabbit that had been cleaned: "It."

Elsa coughed dryly, hiding her guilt again.

Probably no one can stand eating potatoes every day, it's time to eat meat.

The living conditions in the forest are not difficult, but they are not much better. Elsa herself rarely eats meat.She is not completely incapable of hunting, but under normal circumstances, she puts self-preservation first, even if she "adventures" in the forest, she will not go too far, and the prey near her is very scarce.Thanks to Baki, even she who hasn't eaten fresh meat for more than a month has benefited.

The last time I ate rabbit was before winter.Elsa's cooking skills are very average. After ten years of eating, she has long been tired of it, but she is much better than Mr. Bucky, who can't even cook soup.She rubbed spices on the meat that Bucky had prepared earlier, chopped some onions and broccoli, and finally added potatoes to the pot.

Elsa felt that she was about to cry after eating potatoes for so many years.

She stood by the pot and sighed faintly.

"Bucky," she called to the man standing by, "we're running out of salt."

Bucky looked at her silently.

"...the pepper is gone too."

Elsa patted her hair: "We don't have any money either."

She pouted and complained in a low voice: "Without Sasha, I can't get anything."

She poked the small fire under the pot with a stick: "...I think I'm about to grow into a potato."

Although Bucky, who can't remember anything, talks less, his common sense of life has not been lost.Elsa didn't know what he was thinking when he was silent, but after breakfast, Bucky made a request to Elsa: "I'll go to town."

He knew that the cave was very close to the town, and Elsa, who had finally found someone to talk to, had already revealed everything except her ability.

Elsa was slowly nibbling a piece of rabbit meat, and almost dropped the meat from her mouth when she heard Bucky's words: "Ah? What? You want to go?"

Bucky looked at Elsa with innocent eyes: "You said, no money, work, make money."

Elsa, who had never thought about the option of working part-time, looked at a loss.That's right, there is also the option of working to make money. Although she has no money, she can make money... huh?

Elsa has never thought of this. She is used to a quiet life in the forest. In addition to strolling in this small forest, she takes care of her own little field, and through the not-so-plenty Books to learn about the world.But she never thought of taking a step forward.

If it wasn't for Sasha...

However, Sasha is dead.

Elsa's facial features were twisted into a ball, and she put her hands on her head and scratched her messy hair, but she couldn't come to a conclusion.To go out, or not to go out?That town is only a tiny bit big, and the whole town knows about a stranger within a few days... Do you really want to go out?

Seeing Elsa's concerns, Bucky gave her a warm smile: "It's okay, I'll go by myself."

Elsa reached out and took his hand: "Will you come back?"

"I will."

Elsa kept all Bucky's original belongings for him. He rummaged through the pile of things, put on a long-sleeved coat and black trousers that had been washed and simply mended, and put on gloves to cover his chest. Own hands that are different from ordinary people.His metal arm is still being "confined" by Elsa, and everything is done with his good hand, and his movements are swift, as if losing an arm has no effect on him.

Elsa watched him make herself tattered, and led him to the edge of the forest in a tangled manner.

"You..." She held Bucky again, looking up into his eyes, "You'll be back, right?"

Those green eyes were against the light, and she was all reflected.

"wait me back."

Bucky raised his hand to smooth Elsa's messy gray hair, with a warm smile and soft eyes: "Don't worry, I'll bring you delicious food when I come back."

Elsa held her face and watched Bucky walking towards the town. When she was almost at the place where she had seen him, he raised his hand to mess up his hair and started to limp.

Elsa, who watched from afar, was dumbfounded.She watched Bucky being carefully helped into the town by the people who came out of the town, and then he couldn't see the figure clearly, and felt convinced.No wonder Bucky proposed that he could work and earn money, and he is much better than Elsa even with amnesia!

She returned to her cave.

Even if it was only five days, Elsa got used to his company. She cared too much about his existence, even if she didn't see him for a while, she felt a little restless.Elsa felt that she should give her trust, and Bucky also promised to come back, and she also promised to let him go, but she was always worried, unspeakably afraid, restless.

So Elsa filled her stomach indiscriminately, and reappeared at the edge of the forest before twelve noon.

She brought a book, and sat under the tree, leaning against the tree, and read that comic many times.

This is the only comic book owned by Elsa. I don't know the cause and effect, but I only read this one. It tells the story of Captain America fighting bad guys to save the United States.When Elsa was young, she preferred brightly colored comics. At the beginning, this book was almost torn apart by her, but in recent years, she mostly reads texts, but rarely touches it.Today was a pass time, Elsa thought of this comic again and brought it out.

The story of the comics is very simple. Although it is an old routine of defeating bad guys, Elsa still enjoys watching it.But she still couldn't calm down.She rolled up the comic book and held it in her hand, leaning against the tree and looking towards the direction of the town.

She couldn't see anything, but she couldn't help looking.The comic books were thrown aside by her.

The sky gradually darkened, and when Elsa was about to lose her patience, she saw Bucky who was almost unrecognizable.

Elsa stood there, watching him walking towards her step by step, and when he approached, she opened her arms and threw herself on him.Bucky let go, and he threw the things in his hand on the ground, and his still moving hand gently wrapped around the girl's waist.

Elsa couldn't control her emotions, her tears fell down her eyes instantly and wet the clothes on Bucky's chest.He rested his chin on the top of the girl's head, and lightly rubbed the top of the girl's hair, which still smelled like soap locust.

"I'm afraid you won't come back," Elsa said with her head buried in his chest, "I'm afraid, I'm really afraid."

She twitched uncontrollably: "I don't want to be alone anymore, don't leave me alone."

"Goodgirl," he whispered in Elsa's ear, his voice was full of warmth, "don't be afraid."

Elsa backed away a little and looked up at him.Bucky changed his clothes, cut his hair short, and shaved his beard cleanly, so he looked well groomed.He changed his tattered suit, which should have been in the trash, for a simple brown singlet.His expression was soft and his smile was so warm that Elsa almost cried again.

The warm lips were lightly pressed on the girl's forehead, and she retreated as soon as she touched it.

"Elsa, I'm here, I'm back."
