The old man walked back into the hut in order to continue his work. Alex wanted to continue their conversations, but there wasn't anything he immediately needed to know, so he let the old man be.
Instead, he walked to the edge of the village where the people were beginning to dig up the piled sand in order to clear up the place.
Many men were already working from early in the morning, most of them the same men he had healed yesterday. They all came up to Alex again and thanked him personally before going back to their work.
Since Alex had nothing to do, he decided to help them. He began clearing the sand as well, shoveling it away in the storage bags he was provided. He would hand over any filled storage bags to the people responsible for emptying them and then continue on.
While he helped quite a bit that way, Whisker helped a lot more.
