That familiar place, there is no familiar dark shadow. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

There is one day left until the appointed day.

This time it should be the last time they will see each other.

Father and mother muttered behind Komatsu's back, and finally opened up.

My father said that he had lived here for too long and that he had to move back to his original village.

Komatsu was puzzled, but her mother touched Komatsu's head with a smile and said, "Because Komatsu will be a big girl soon." ”

The mother was still the same as yesterday, smiling and answering Komatsu with the words of the eldest girl.

Komatsu didn't know what he remembered, and his face turned red again.

The move was finalized.

The date was set for three days later.

Komatsu had only heard about the legendary village a few times from his father and mother, and his impression was really vague. She has lived here since she can remember, and she is very familiar with every grass and tree and pine here, and now she is about to leave suddenly, and she is a little reluctant in her heart.

And the one that Komatsu can't give up the most is the little black bear.

They grew up together, and they had so many good memories, and now they are about to separate, and Xiao Song feels very uncomfortable.

Before leaving, Komatsu endured the discomfort of his stomach and went to the place where he met the little black bear on weekdays. But the little black bear wasn't there. Komatsu waited for a while, and then went to the place where they used to play together, but still didn't see the little black bear.

Komatsu panicked suddenly.

She remembered the conversation she had had with her mother, and glanced uneasily at the tall snowy peak behind her.

The conversation of that day suddenly came to mind.

"Mom, is there anyone living on the mountain?"

"Maybe. ”

"Are there hunters?"

"Yes. I heard that there are people who go up to the mountains to hunt every year. ”

Could the little black bear accidentally encounter ......

Komatsu didn't dare to continue thinking.

The pace of walking gradually accelerated, and slowly turned into a trot, and the little black bear liked to go everywhere on weekdays, but there was still no familiar trace.

Until dusk, the exhausted Komatsu lay on the grassy slope where they often played together, looking at the gentle glow that covered half of the sky, and suddenly burst into tears.

Why isn't it there?

Is it the wrong day?

This has happened before. But it was years ago.

Or is something delayed?

After shedding tears for a while, Komatsu forcibly suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and speculated distraughtly. The worst possible is that I dare not think about it again.

Come back tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

Maybe it's coming!

The mother's call came from afar.

Komatsu wiped his red and swollen eyes, took one last look at the forest, and then walked back step by step.

The next day, Komatsu went to look for it for a while, but the little black bear was still nowhere to be seen.

Xiao Song was anxious, and pulled his father and mother to look for it together.

After listening to Komatsu's intermittent description, the father and mother suddenly looked at each other and smiled.

"What are you laughing at? Let's go quickly! Otherwise, it will be bad if we really run into the trap of the hunter! The little black bear is so stupid, it will definitely fall into it, and maybe it will be cut off and made into a vegetable......

Xiao Song's eyebrows burned in a hurry, and when he saw that his father and mother were still smiling disappretently, he suddenly became even more anxious, and even his voice was choked.

"Don't be afraid. There are no hunters. Even the trees have been protected over the years, not to mention the already scarce bears!" the mother comforted.

"No, Mom, didn't you say that bear paws are a famous dish? Let's hurry up, if it's late, the little black bear will be in danger-" Xiao Song's anxious tears were about to come out, and he took his mother's hand and prepared to go into the woods.

"Wait. The father, who had been silent, stopped the two of them, looked at his mother and said, "You go to the house to cook, and I'll take Komatsu to find it." ”

The father asked Komatsu to show the way, and once again walked the place they had been.

My father took a hard look at his surroundings all the way, and even squatted down to take a closer look at the dirt on the ground.

The little black bear was still nowhere to be seen, but his father told Komatsu not to worry.

"I've checked it all, and there are no outsiders or animals in the area, and there are no traps. Perhaps, the little black bear can't leave because of something. If you're really worried, leave some marks for it. How?"

Father suggested.

My father has been active in the forest and knows everything about the forest. Now, since my father said so, the little black bear should not be in danger.

Thinking of this, Komatsu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then seriously thought about how to leave a mark to express that he was leaving?

They used to have an agreement.

See you once every three days, if the weather happens to be bad on that day, then wait for the next agreed three days. If something doesn't happen, put a stone in the hollow of the tree that you frequent, dig a layer of soil and bury it, and hang a wreath on the branch.

When you see the wreath from afar, you know that the other one can't come. Dig up the dirt, count the number of stones, and know that the next agreed day is a few days away.

Komatsu found a large pile of rocks and buried them in the hollow of the tree, then covered them with leaves and dirt.

The stone was large and small, and it was stacked in two whole layers.

After the wreath was hung on the branch by his father from afar, Komatsu thought a little sadly: these stones should be enough to express that he will not come again...... The little black bear seems to be able to count only ten, and if there are more, it will be impossible to count, so many stones, it should understand......

It turns out that Komatsu still overestimated the IQ of the little black bear, although the meaning she conveyed was eventually understood by the little black bear. Of course, that's another story.

On the day of departure, the sky was clear.

Descend the hill, go around the village, and head north.

The road gradually became less and less accessible.

Komatsu had lost count of the mountains he had climbed, and by the time he finally arrived at the village where his father and mother had lived, it was already three days later.

The village was bigger than the one down the hill.

Strangely, each house is separated by a distance. Walking in the middle of it, because it is surrounded by trees, you will not notice anything, but if you pay attention to it, you will find this strange phenomenon.

Komatsu nervously took his mother's hand and followed her to a large room.

Before his father could knock on the door, a crack opened in the door, and a fat-headed little boy poked his head out and looked at the three of them, stretching out his fingers and counting them.

"One, two, three...... One, two, three......"

I counted back and forth twice, and then after taking a closer look at Komatsu, I ran inside with a grin, shouting as I ran: "Dad, it's Uncle They! Uncle They're back! Three people, no more, no less, and a little girl!"

Xiao Song pulled his mother into the door with his father, and before he walked a few steps, he heard a scolding: "Stinky boy, what a little girl, that's my sister!"

Before the words fell, a middle-aged man came out of the house, his eyebrows vaguely similar to Komatsu's father.
