Chapter 2: The Light in the Mountain

Early in the morning, Apu, who was accustomed to getting up early, took Ah Le out after a simple freshening up, and they were going to their own small garden, small granary.

The morning sun is soft, and it looks particularly dreamy through the fog.

Some unknown birds were chirping in the trees, and I don't know if it was to welcome the girl to the field or to make it a beautiful day.

The narrow field path is covered with weeds, and the grass leaves in the dew are exceptionally green, clean and fresh.

Ah Le was not very peaceful, and kept running back and forth in front of Apu, nibbling a few mouthfuls of grass and picking up a few frogs and grasshoppers from time to time.

Apu looked at the cheerful Ah Le and was very happy, she was very satisfied with everything here, the mountain, the village, Uncle Jiang, the enthusiastic neighbors, the small vegetable plot of her own house, the rented old wooden house, and the elf who grew up with her.

Gradually, Ah Le ran away a little, but Ah Pu was not worried, just shouted from a distance:

"Ah Le, don't run too far, remember to go home for dinner and prepare pork bones for you. ”

It's safe here, the people here are very kind, except for Apu, there are no outsiders here, but Apu feels that he shouldn't be a foreigner now.

The familiarity and tacit understanding between each other made Ah Le aware of Apu's concern, and after a few replies from Wang, Wang, Wang, Wang,

Ah Le was a little excited, there was something in the mountains to attract her, last night, there was movement in the mountains, Ah Le was awakened and stood by Apu's bedside, later, the movement was bigger, Apu was also awakened, and after taking Ah Le to the yard, he found that many people in the village had gotten up.

Although it was the middle of the night, everyone's interest was quite high, especially after seeing Apu, a "foreigner". After a warm introduction, Apu also knew that there was often movement in the mountain, but then he always found nothing, and slowly, everyone became accustomed to it, but the legend is that there are gods living in the mountain.

Everyone's interest reached its peak after a flash of light, and the people in the village talked and excited, because it was something that only appeared in the legends of the elders.

There is a lot of movement in the mountains, but the light is not always there. Villagers who have lived for a long time know that in the past, after three or five years, this light can also be encountered once, and after the light, the village and the nearby mountains will be filled with a special mist, and after that, the crops will be very good, and the elderly in the village will be comfortable for a long time.

There are also leading experts from above who have come to investigate, but after looking at it, except for the lush vegetation in the mountain village and the clear spring water, they have not found any difference from other places.

Nothing was found in the mountains, but it was said that it was a phenomenon caused by geological changes. The occasional light didn't appear at all after someone came to investigate.

Although such a small mountain village is quiet and chic, quiet and peaceful, it is not yet an outstanding place, a fairyland on earth, and similar places are found in many places in the country, so it slowly faded down.

There has been no light for more than ten years, and everyone is excited to be happy, this light represents what the old residents know, although the new relocated people don't believe much, but who can say for sure what is in the legend, if there is a real thing, isn't it a good thing.

Everyone shared happiness and excitement with each other, but after all, it was already the middle of the night, the bustling and lively novelty, after the excitement, slowly fell silent, the legendary things can not be eaten, the adults still have tomorrow's things to be busy, children also need to continue to go to school tomorrow, children in the mountain village always need to get up early to go to school. So they greeted each other, and went back to their homes to sleep.

Ah Pu didn't notice that Ah Le had something abnormal after the light appeared, and Ah Le, who had been a little noisy in such a situation in the past, was now squatting quietly, squatting at Ah Pu's feet, hanging his ears and staring in the direction of the flash in the mountain, as if the simple dog was thinking about something in his head and wanting to make a decision.

"Ah Le, don't be in a daze, go back to sleep, don't run around in the middle of the night, there is a big bad wolf in the mountains, and he gnaws Ah Le's tail!"

Apu found that Ah Le was looking in the direction of the mountain in a daze, and was worried that the naughty Ah Le would run out in the middle of the night, so he opened his mouth to greet Ah Le.

Ah Le's thinking was interrupted by Apu's joking voice, shook his little yellow head, looked at Apu, looked back at the mountain, and followed Apu back to the house, in her simple little head is still Apu is more important, and the things in the mountains that attract her can be seen again tomorrow.

Running on the rugged path in the mountains, the fast-growing plants make the path looming, but as a good soil dog, Ah Le does not need much road, and her keen sense of smell and the attraction of a bright light guide her in the direction of progress.

The dew on the grass and trees in the mountains made Ah Le wet a lot, ignoring the dew on her fur, Ah Le moved forward with all her thoughts, she had been running for a long time, and the sun was rising high, Ah Le could feel that the thing that attracted her was not far away, just ahead.

After passing through a few dense thorn racks, over a jagged gravel beach, and following a babbling stream, Ah Le came to a cave entrance, from which the stream flowed, and Ah Le felt that what attracted her was inside the cave.

This hole is not big, it is a crack in the rock, the exposed crack is only about half a meter high, about thirty or forty centimeters wide, the fine moss densely covers the whole rock, and the crack is also covered with these small green creatures.

Although the sun is already high, it is still very dark, and the dense weeds and trees hide the place, and no sunlight can penetrate the place.

This is just a small branch and small source of many streams in the mountains, and if Ah Le hadn't been attracted to that thing, he wouldn't have found this place at all. The stream that runs through the base of the bushes is very secretive, thin, narrow, and hidden by the surrounding weeds and shrubs.

The inside of the cave was darker than the outside, and the deep inside seemed to be able to swallow everything, and Ah Le was not timid, the things that attracted her and the idea of Apu telling her to go home early and gnaw on the bones made her already simple thinking more direct.

The sun was already high before he came in, and Apu would definitely be angry if he went back late, and there would definitely be no fragrant meat and bones to gnaw, and there would be no hot, fragrant, soft and delicious broth to eat, so Ah Le wanted to quickly find something that attracted her and then go back to accompany Apu, and let Apu make delicious food casually.

Well, accompanying Apu is as important as eating delicious food, which can make Ale happy, especially eating delicious food made by Apu, and it can make Apu happy, double, Ale thinks so.

Ah Le quickly rushed into the stream, burrowed into the hole, and struggled forward, thinking that soon, faster, there were fragrant meat and bones waiting at home...... A lot of saliva,,,,,,

After crossing the narrow hole, the space in the cave became larger and larger, much higher, much wider, and the stream was much shallower.

When Ah Le stumbled through a few turns, he saw a bright light, which should be the exit of the cave.

Just in front, what attracted Ah Le was finally about to appear, and Ah Le mustered all the strength of his body and rushed towards the light.
