The glowing thing was Madame's favorite creature, the fireflies. When I was still a child, my wife liked to fill a jar full of fireflies in a glass jar on a summer night, and then put it on the table in her room, turn off the light, and quietly watch the beautiful fluorescent lights flicker.

The children in the mountain village don't have many toys, so they often have to find something interesting on their own, and the fireflies in the glass jar are Madame's favorite toy. It's a pity that the lifespan of adult fireflies is too short, and often it will be eclipsed in less than a week, so Mrs. cherishes this toy of her own.

I didn't expect that there were still fireflies now, Mrs. sighed secretly, in her impression, the fireflies in the rice fields seemed to disappear after the summer vacation, and there were still fireflies in the mountains and forests in October.

"Look, what is that," the lady gestured. Although Zhou Shan couldn't see the direction his wife was pointing in the dark, he still found those flickering fluorescents, which stood out in this dim night.

"Good idea, I'll go catch them!" Zhou Shan was usually not very interested in fireflies, but now these little insects have helped him solve a big problem.

Zhou Shan carefully grasped the fireflies one by one in his palm, although the fluorescence emitted by each one seemed to be very faint, but by the time more than a dozen of them gathered together, the fluorescence in his hand could barely see the road ahead.

Zhou Shan returned to Madame's side, he slowly put the firefly into Madame's palm, Madame's smiling face was illuminated, occasionally one or two flew out of her palm, but it didn't matter, Madame covered her other palm on it, and the two looked up at the firefly that flew away just now, it was like a spirit with light, flying higher and higher in the night sky, and finally stopped on the trunk of the tree next to it, and the flashing light made the two people look at it for a long time.

Madame was picked up by Zhou Shan again, she stretched out her two palms in front of her, and the fluorescence between her fingers slightly illuminated their way forward. In Madame's later impression, the fireflies in her hands, her brother's broad shoulders, and the dim mountain road in front of her were all frozen for a long, long time...

I don't know how long it took, but they finally walked out of the mountain forest, and saw the end of the dam, and at the edge of the dam there was a concentrated fire, which was the villagers who had come to look for them with torches.

Madame's father was at the front of the procession, and he was told that there were fresh footprints on the dam before he found it. The father had already prepared a hearty dinner at home, and he knew that his daughter had just entered high school, and the pressure on her studies would become very great, so he wanted to take advantage of the National Day holiday to treat his daughter.

What the father didn't expect was that he waited left and right and didn't see his daughter come back, and when he went to the neighbor's house to inquire, he learned that his daughter had disappeared along with Zhou Shan.

Zhou Shan's mother was not worried about her son's late return, because in her eyes, her son was no different from an adult man, and even many things in the family had to rely on her son's help to do it, so this time, the mother only thought that her son might go to the mountains to catch wild meat again.

The two parents realized the seriousness of the matter after communicating, in their eyes, Mrs. and Zhou Shan have always been childhood sweethearts, and the two children seem to be a good match. It's just that they are still too young and in the most important time of high school, so their parents have not pierced this layer of window paper, hoping that when they are older, they will develop naturally.

But tonight, the two children actually disappeared together, which made them not only worried about their safety, but also afraid that the young man with strong blood would do something out of bounds.

The two men immediately decided to split up their search, but after half an hour, they searched almost every corner of the village, but when they met, they still found nothing. Seeing that the sky was getting darker, the two parents began to worry that what they feared might really happen.

Madame's father approached the village chief for help, and now that he could not care about his daughter's reputation, he had to find the location of the two children as soon as possible. The father used such a reason to comfort himself, in the eyes of other villagers, his daughter and Zhou Shan should have always been similar to brother and sister, so even if they knew that they disappeared together, the villagers would not have any gossip.

The village chief quickly gathered a large number of young adults from the village, and they took out torches from their homes and began to shout the names of their wife and Zhou Shan while looking around.

It wasn't until an hour later that someone told the village chief that fresh footprints had been found by the dam and that they looked like two people, a man and a woman. So everyone walked towards the dam, and Madame's father was so anxious that his shoes were torn, so he simply ran barefoot all the way to the dam.

The father could see the footprints on the dirt through the torches, and he remembered the patterns on the soles of his daughter's shoes, and he was sure that the footprints belonged to his daughter. The father looked at the dam in front of him again, and suddenly his face was like ashes, and he had a preliminary inference in his heart that his daughter must have followed Zhou Shan to the dam in a bamboo raft, because there were also traces of the bamboo raft being dragged on the shore.

But my father clearly remembered that there was a heavy rain in the village in the afternoon, and the rain continued until the evening, and now the water level on both sides of the dam is significantly higher.

The father didn't dare to speculate anymore, now the most important person in his life was his daughter, and he couldn't imagine that something might happen to his daughter.

The father began to shout his daughter's name in front of the dam, and the other villagers also helped to shout, but after the sound fell, the dam remained calm and did not give them any response.

At this time, there were no bamboo rafts around the dam, and some villagers suggested borrowing some bamboo rafts or canoes from the next village, but the lady's father couldn't wait, and he was determined to get his daughter back even if he was exhausted.

The sensible village chief stopped his impulsive father, who persuaded him that such an act would not only not be able to get his wife back, but also that he might take his own life, and his father's body was dragged by several villagers, but he was so anxious that even tears fell.

At this moment, a familiar voice came from the other side of the dam, and the lady who was leaning on Zhou Shan's back saw her father who was pulling from a distance, and she hurriedly shouted, "Dad, I'm here!"
