Until the fire was extinguished, until dawn, the little boy still did not come back. Last night, Zijin fell asleep in front of the fire in a daze, leaning on Zigui. I kept my eyes open all night.

When the day dawned, the adacon Zijin woke up. They packed up the tent and put it back on the big guy, led the big guy, and marched deeper into the forest together, calling the little guy's name as they went.

At this time, Zijin suddenly thought that she understood why she felt that the little girl was different from the big one. Although the puppet has its own consciousness, there is a world of difference between a puppet and a puppet. The puppet will obey the owner's arrangement, but the little girl has the ability to think independently like a puppet, although obedient, but it feels like a living thing in action.

"Little good ~ little good ~ " yelled persistently.

"Little good ~ little good ~ " Zijin also looked for it along the road.

Zigui led the big boy and followed behind the two of them.

Searching, searching, they entered a valley. When they came here, they were all mountains and rocks, and the big guy was not good at acting, so he decided to put the big guy at the mouth of the valley first, and the three of them went into the valley to look for it.

When I walked into the valley, I found that the trees in the valley were different from those outside the valley. In this valley grows a tree with sharp leaves, which may be a little prickly to the touch, but it does not hurt anyone. The trees are not very tall, but they are very dense. The tree also bears some strange cone-shaped fruits, which are stacked on top of each other in a semicircular form of wood. I remembered that I had seen it in a book, the tree was a pine tree, and this fruit was a pine cone, and there were pine nuts in it that squirrels loved to eat.

There is a feeling that the little boy should be nearby

"Little good ~ little good ~ " Zhi shouted loudly twice. "Come back, little girl. Little girl~"

Suddenly there was a sparse sound in the woods, many, dense. Slowly, these voices moved closer to them.

Zhi and Zijin looked around, first one, two, three... Finally the branches around them were full of squirrels, and all the squirrels looked at them.

"That's a lot!" Zijin was amazed, Zigui stretched out his hand to grab the nearest one, but who knew that after the little squirrel deftly dodged Zigui, he returned to its original position unhurriedly.

"These squirrels don't seem to be afraid of people!" Zijin said.

At this time, a squirrel with a black body and a white belly jumped out of the rat swarm. It ran in front of Zhi and jumped on the branch closest to Zhi.

Looking at the appearance of this big squirrel, he remembered the little squirrel he had saved back then. The hand is slowly stretched out to the squirrel, and the squirrel does not hide. Zhi touched the squirrel's head with his hand, but the squirrel did not resist and let him touch it.

"Have you ever seen a squirrel of the same color as you, but with no hair all over its body?"

"Uh-huh." The squirrel called.

"Did you see that? Where is it, can you lead me? ”

"Uh-huh!" The squirrel replied to him.

Zijin and Zigui next to him looked surprised, and Zijin asked, "Can you understand what it's talking about?" ”

"I don't understand, but strangely I seem to be able to understand." Persistence.

The squirrel bit Zhi's sleeve, then turned and jumped deeper into the valley, and Zhi, Zijin and they followed the squirrel inside.

As they walked, they came to a very large cave, and the squirrel did not stop, and continued to jump into the cave. And they followed and went all the way in.

"Where are we going?" Zijin asked.

"I don't know, just follow along."

"It's so dark in here!"

"You let Zigui light the fire!"

After speaking, Zijin recited the incantation, a small flame appeared in Zigui's hand, the road in front was slightly illuminated by the firelight, and the figure of the squirrel faintly appeared in the firelight.

I continued to walk for a long time before a bright light appeared in front of me.

When they finally walked out of the cave, they realized that they seemed to have entered the interior of the mountain, but because the mountain did not have a summit, the sunlight shone directly, and this was the bright light they had just seen, and the sunlight also illuminated the interior of the mountain clearly.

It's winter, but it's warm. The plants inside grew luxuriantly, and the columns of water that flowed down from the mountain walls gathered on the ground to form a small stream. Along the mountain wall, many pine trees grow horizontally.

After a closer look, he found that there were many holes in these pine trees, and I don't know how they were formed. At this time, the squirrel that led the way ran to Zhi again, "Mmmmmmmm Then he began to climb towards the tree that grew on the mountain.

"You wait for me below, and I'll go up by myself." Zhi Zijin said.

"Can you do it alone?" Zijin asked.

"It should be possible, just now the squirrel told me that the vines growing on this mountain can only bear the weight of one person, and if there are too many, they will break."

"What if you fall?" Zijin asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, I'll just go to the first tree closest to here, it's not too high."

Zijin looked at the tree, it was indeed not too far from the ground, and he was a little relieved.

"You and Zigui are waiting for me here, and I'll go up and have a look."

"You have to be very careful, stay safe!"

With that, he began to climb up the vine little by little. And the squirrel was already waiting for him in the first tree.

Zhi had never climbed a tree before, but fortunately, he had worked for many years and developed good arm strength and physical strength, and he reached the first tree in a short time.

The tree was very thick, and when he arrived, he climbed over and sat down on the trunk, and little by little he moved in the direction of the treetops, and saw that he was getting closer and closer to the first hole.

Before he could move to the entrance of the cave, he had already seen the little girl lying motionless inside. He tried to call the little girl's name, but the little girl in the cave didn't respond. So he continued to move forward, and when he reached the mouth of the cave, he fished the little girl out of the hole and held him in his arms.

"Uh-huh, uh-huh." The squirrel said on the branch.

So he returned to the root of the tree with the little girl, and then grabbed the vine with one hand, and returned to the ground little by little.
