The Tiny Lina Maya

Chapter 195 - Star

Lina also felt very happy, when she found out that the boy had awakened.

He sat down and asked the boy, "How are you? Does anything hurt in your body?"

Hearing what Lina asked, the boy shook his head slowly, then said in his small clear-sounding voice, "I'm fine. Are you the one who saved me?"

"Yes, I saw you drifting to the shore, and then I pulled you in" Lina said with a smile.

Then, the boy's voice said, "Thank you. You're a good man."

Seeing the boy's intelligent appearance, Lina couldn't help herself anymore to reach out and touch the boy's hair, thus making her short, gray curls, now it looks a little messy.

Seeing that, Lina laughed kindly, then asked, "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?"

After hearing what Lina asked, the boy was stunned, as he felt touched by Lina's treatment of him.

"This is the first time, there's someone rubbing my head, and that person is someone I don't know.." Thought the boy.

Then the boy lowered his head, and said in a soft voice, "I'm not hungry.."

After hearing what this skinny boy said, Lina immediately looked at him while thinking, "At this moment she must be feeling very hungry. This kid must think I don't know, if he's been a few days now he hasn't eaten. But.. At times like this, he could still say that he was not hungry? Was it because he thought that on this island there was nothing, and if having food even if it was just a small piece, was something extremely rare and precious? Did he intentionally try to lie? Hm.. What a strange child.."

Shortly after, like performing a magic trick, Lina hid her hands behind her body, then took out two large sweet fruits from the storage room, and thrust them at the boy while saying, "Eat quickly!"

At that moment, the boy immediately saw the sweet fruit in Lina's hand while stunned. After a while, he asked, "How can you have these fruits?"

Hearing such a question, Lina blinked her eyes as she said mysteriously, "This is my secret, I can't tell you."

At that moment, the boy no longer asked. He immediately stretched out his very small and thin hand, to take the sweet fruit that Lina thrust at him, for he immediately ate.

"CRAUC! MOSQUITO MOSQUITO!"

"CRACK!"

"The little boy's cheeks looked small, even smaller than the sweet fruit he was currently holding.. When my kids grow up, they'll look like him, too.." Think Lina.

While thinking about the children, Lina suddenly remembered Saga and the others.

"Oh yeah, what about Saga, Wiro and Uriel?" Thought Lina again.

After eating up all the sweet fruit given by Lina, now the spirit of the boy looks to start improving.

Seeing that, Lina said to the boy, "My name, Lina. What's yourname?"

The boy replied quietly, "My name, Star."

"Star? Hm.. What a good name." Lina.

Hearing Lina praising his name, the boy bowed in embarrassment, and then said, "Your name is also good, nice to hear."

At this moment Lina had added some more firewood to the campfire, and casually asked, "How is the story that you were able to get washed up to here? Then, where's your family?"

Hearing that, Star gazed into the flames, and said in a soft-sounding voice, "All my family members were killed.. The ship we were boarding, sank in the middle of the ocean.. I'm the only one who survived. I was drifting in the middle of the ocean for a long time, always clinging to the logs of broken ships. After that, I no longer know what happened, until finally I was swept away by the waves until here.."

After saying that, he looked at the woman in front of him, and saw his yellow eyeballs shining from the light of the fire, then continued to say again, "Fortunately I am, can meet you, otherwise I would have been on a small island that no one knew this was alone."

"I'm just like you. I was swept away by the ocean currents to come here. Maybe it's our destiny to meet. Yeah, so we can help each other." Lina.

Hearing that, Star said seriously, "You are indeed a good person."

This was the umpteenth time Lina had been praised by Star. He smiled, asking Star, "Do you know where we are now?"

But Star shook her head as she said, "I don't know."

"What's the name of the sea, you know, right?" Ask Lina again.

Hearing that, Star was silent for a while, after which, she said, "This sea is called a sea of pride."

"Sea of vanity?? I've never heard of this place." Inner Lina who was currently being slightly confused.

Seeing Lina who looked confused, Star tried to explain to her a little.

"The sea of pride is a dead sea that exists only in legend. It is said that this place is the place where all life will end. Besides, there's only one way for living things to get in here."

But, the word "sea of arrogance", made both of them silent, and the atmosphere immediately became silent.

Finally, it was Lina who first broke the silence.

“Who said there wouldn't be a creature that could live here? Aren't you and I still living very well? And those bamboos too, they all live very well." Lina said while pointing to the bamboo forest that was quite far away from where they were at the moment. Then he continued saying again, ”With that, we will find a way to leave this place."

As Star looked towards the bamboo forest, her yellow eyes immediately widened.

"I've never seen any plants in this place. Whatever is planted in this land, it will eventually die. But, this is the first time I've seen a plant that can survive here." Inner Star.

Spontaneous, then Star immediately got up from her seat, and walked towards the bamboo forest.

The stars in the sky were extremely bright, with their light shining on the surface of the sea, it made the entire island visible as well. That way, even if there was no fire, Lina could still see the mainland of this island clearly.

But, even so, Lina still felt worried in case Star would fall.

"The boy's body looked extremely thin, as if a gust of wind could blow it away at any moment." Lina thought as she looked at Star who started to step her legs.

Then, Lina quickly caught up with Star, held her wrist, and said, "Slowly, you can fall."

Although Star had already slowed down her path, Lina still could not keep up with her walking speed.

The bamboo plants that Lina planted, not yet fully grown, are currently only as tall as Lina.

"It can grow in a barren land like this, it can be said to be a green wonder!" Inner Star while continuing to walk and stared at the bamboo forest.

When he arrived, Star carefully reached out his finger, to touch the bamboo plant that Lina had planted.

His eyes were yellow, now looking sparkling with its complex luster.

"Green.. It's great to see.." Said Star who was currently feeling astonished and astonished.

Lina nodded, agreeing with what Star said, then said, "All these plants will look much more beautiful, when they have grown up."

...........

In the following days, Star would go to the bamboo forest every day, to see the growth of the plants.

"The leaves still look green.." Think Star.

It seemed, she was more concerned with the growth of these bamboo plants, than Lina herself.

Lina also realized that Star really liked the bamboo plants she planted, she also invited Star to water the bamboo.

Since Uriel learned that Lina was currently very short of clean water, they also used the principle of sharing space, to put many bags of fresh water into the storage room. With so many supplies of water bags, now Lina no longer need to filter seawater every day.

In addition, not only could she be used for drinking and bathing, but Lina could also use the water to water the bamboo plants she planted.

Previously, when Lina was still alone on this island, she just took things from inside the storage room without hesitation. But now, with Star, he had to go away a little, to pick it up.

"Although Star would definitely guess where the items I took out came from, I guess, it would be much better if I kept this covered up from her." Think Lina.

With Star's body so thin, Lina also did not allow Star to do work that was too heavy for her to do.

Therefore, every day, it was Lina who was responsible for bringing the water-filled wooden bucket into the bamboo forest, and then giving it to Star, for her to water the bamboo trees.

Seemed his great enthusiasm, as Star did this job. He always poured water evenly, on each bamboo tree as he continued muttering,

"Growed.. Grows.."

"Green.. Greener.."

...........

Now, the bamboo trees that Lina had planted, had become a dense bamboo forest.

Seeing this, Lina excitedly rubbed her palms together.

"Finally, now I can make a raft out of bamboo!"
