As mentioned above, the little mouse and the others did not listen to the monkeys, did not jump, and turned back into the woods.

It was dawn, and the morning dew fell on the little mouse's face, and the cool feeling woke the little mouse from his sweet dream. In the dream, Xinluosiwan dreamed that she was sitting on a huge table, the table was full of crystal clear fruits, hot bread, sweet cakes, and the most important thing was that sitting at the other end of the table was a beautiful and moving female mouse, her lovely ears, crystal eyes, beautiful nose, um~, and she lay on the table, slowly crawled over there, biting a purple grape in her mouth, trying to send this smooth grape to the mouth of the fairy in front of her, but she didn't get close, She picked up the glass and splashed herself in the face, and then she woke up immediately.

Smacking his lips, the little mouse wiped his face and looked at the empty nest.

Huh? What about them?

The little mouse brushed aside the leaves, and the dazzling sunlight suddenly shone over, and the little mouse quickly closed his eyes and buffered for a while.

The morning is beautiful, especially in the fresh air of the woods, where the beautiful pillars of light are interspersed among the trees, accompanied by the chirping of birds, what a wonderful world.

You're awake, come on, come over and get something to eat!

The mouse and the calf came from a distance, and when they saw the little mouse sitting under the tree, they beckoned him to have breakfast with them.

The red berries are sweet and sour, slightly astringent in taste, and they are cool in the stomach. The mouse pulls out a water bag from behind him and hands it to the mouse to taste.

Oh, it's ...... What is this? It's so unpleasant!

The little mouse thought it was water, and he happened to be a little thirsty, so he couldn't help but take a big sip, but he didn't expect that the taste was not water, but some kind of wine, so he choked his throat and coughed.

Hehe, you don't know that! This is a fruit wine that I make secretly. I'll tell you that this fruit wine is made from all the fruits in the world, so I brought it out on purpose, and whenever I see fruit that I haven't seen before, I will collect it, take its essence, and gather it in this little water bag. So, you should be happy, you're the first to taste it!

Ahem, fruit wine? That's too bad to drink, right? Haven't you tasted it?

As I am, as a sake brewer, I have never tasted my own sake, and it makes people laugh when I say it.

Seeing the uncomfortable expression of the little mouse, the little mouse was ready for the taste of the wine to definitely not be good, and slowly brought it to his mouth, first sniffing it. I don't know about it, and I'm shocked when I smell it.

Oh my god! What does it taste like? It smells worse than that! If you don't drink it, I'm going to pour it!

The mouse made a disgusted expression and quickly stepped aside with a small water bag, ready to pour out all the contents inside.

How can you just smell it? You don't take a sip? Hello you know, there are some things that smell bad, but they taste good to eat or drink!

The little mouse walked up behind the mouse and said.

Oh? Is there such a strange thing in the world? Say one, I'll listen.

The mouse turned to look at the mouse.

Well, I think about it, by the way, there is a kind of fruit, it just smells bad from afar, but when you pick it and bite it, it tastes sweet.

The little mouse blinked and looked at the mouse.

Oh, yes? Is there such fruit in the world?

The guinea pig thought with his head down, thinking that he had never seen such a strange fruit before.

Of course there is, you have been staying in the country of rats, and you have never been to other kingdoms, I am different, I have traveled all over the world, what fruit have I never seen or eaten?

And that's right, well, I'll just keep it and keep it, and then I'll make it again when I see that fruit.

With that, the mouse put away his water bag and walked over to the calf.

The little mouse hurried after the mouse, and went on to explain to him how rare this fruit was, and how rare it was to be seen, and told the mouse that even if he spent ten years or decades, he might not be able to meet this fruit, and advised him to try his own wine now.

The mouse stopped and looked back at the mouse, cautiously skeptical of his constant persuasion to take a sip, feeling that the mouse had bad intentions.

In order to prevent the mouse from seeing through his thoughts, the mouse gave up the practice of letting the mouse taste his wine.

After the three of them have eaten and drunk, they are ready to go to the Great Rift Valley to see if the ponies have returned.

When everyone came to the Great Rift Valley, they suddenly found that the Rift Valley had become a little wider, not very obvious, but definitely widened, and the mice were very sensitive to such things as size, and the length error estimated by the naked eye would not exceed one centimeter.

Are you sure? I don't think it's changed, huh?

The little mouse heard the guinea pig say that the Great Rift Valley here had widened, and he was a little unconvinced.

That's right, I can't be mistaken, the Great Rift Valley has expanded to both sides by almost half a meter, and moreover, the depth below has also increased, believe it or not, you see!

The guinea pig came to the cliff of the rift, glanced down and quickly retreated.

Don't even say it, it looks like it's a little deeper than yesterday.

The little mouse also looked down, thinking back to the creek from yesterday, and when he compared it, he found that the creek seemed to have widened, and the depth of the creek had dropped a little.

Do you know how to widen it?

The little mouse took a few steps back and looked at the mouse, and the calf next to him also nodded, indicating that he had the same question.

It's hard to say, but I can't see anything from the current observations, and I need to continue to observe for a while.

Alas, whatever? If you widen, you will widen! We can't get over it anyway.

When the calf heard it, this is a boring scientific experiment to wake up!

Aren't you curious?

The little mouse looked at the calf with a smile.

Curious? That's also important, okay! It's not an unsolved mystery, it's a good thing!

There was a hint of fear in the calf's tone.

Oh? Do you know something?

The observant guinea pig was startled to notice the calf's expression.

Alas, I can't tell you.

The next words of the calf once again refreshed people's understanding of the country of cattle.

It turned out that there was an earthquake in the country of cattle a long time ago, and the tremors of that earthquake were very strong, and several kingdoms around them thought that the country of cattle was carrying out some great experiments, but they didn't know that the earthquake brought a huge disaster to the country of cows.

After the earthquake, a rift valley appeared in the land of cows, and people also stood on the edge of the rift valley with curiosity, but then I don't know whether the earth was too brittle or the cattle were too heavy, and the two sides of the rift valley collapsed directly, and the cattle standing on it fell into the abyss before they had time to escape. The accident caused more than 100 cattle to go missing, after all, the Great Rift Valley is bottomless, and you can't even see a shadow when you fall.

Since then, no one has dared to approach the Great Rift Valley.

After that, the Great Rift Valley became wider and wider every year, and finally it became a valley directly. After decades of evolution and the transformation of the Cattle Country, it has now become a national park and a tourist attraction.

After listening to the calf's story, the two mice fell into deep thought again.

It seems that they are right, rats like this strange thing.

When the calf saw the two mice, he thought of something else.

I've decided, we're going to settle down here, and I'm going to see for myself how this Great Rift Valley became a valley!

The mouse suddenly raised his head and said seriously.

What the? You are crazy? Didn't you hear what I just said?

The calf jumped up quickly, and couldn't believe that the mouse could say such an inexplicable thing.

How? Are you scared?

The guinea pig squinted at the calf.

I'm afraid? Of course I'm scared! In case something happens!

The calf curled up in a ball and crouched on the ground.

Okay, that's what you're saying, we can't get too close to the Great Rift Valley, so let's find a place a little farther away, right?

The mice still refused to give up the idea of watching the Great Rift Valley widen.

Alas, whatever you want, anyway, if something happens, I'll be the first to run away!

OK, OK, OK.

The mouse and the mouse nodded in unison.

The three of them dug a pit more than 100 meters from the Great Rift Valley, then built a wall around the pit, and found a few sticks and a few large leaves from the woods to build a simple tent, as long as it could shelter from the wind and rain and the sun.

After everything was done, several people suddenly found that this seemed to be a way to survive in the wild, and they couldn't help but feel a little excited.

You say, where are the ponies now?

To break the awkward silence, the little mouse thinks of the pony.

I don't know, it's been two days now, and it's almost time to arrive, and the key is to see if the pony can find the friend that the hen said she was talking about.

The calf was drawing circles back and forth on the ground, not knowing what to do, and suddenly became idle.

Hopefully nothing bad happened to the ponies.

The mouse fiddles with a peach pit.

Speaking of ponies, the ponies are in trouble.

Two poisonous snakes block their way, one after the other, and the pony fights wits and courage with the two poisonous snakes, fearing each other's sudden attack.

The two vipers circle around the pony, looking for the ponies' defensive flaws.

One to two, the pony is not afraid of the two poisonous snakes at all, he is the righteous side, there is no reason to be afraid, and these two poisonous snakes are not as thick as their own legs, what are they afraid of. Pony keeps reassuring himself, but the two vipers just don't work, which makes it difficult for him to fight back.

It's just like that, the viper is not in a hurry, and the pony is not panicking.

It didn't take long for the ponies to notice that something was wrong, they were going in circles with them, and now they were visibly feeling a little dizzy. The pony stopped and tried to close his eyes, but the two vipers who also stopped were staring at him.

The pony feels like he's dying, and the moment he stops is the deadliest, when his head is the most dizzy. Sure enough, as soon as the pony stopped, his eyes went black and he fell to the ground with a thud.

The pony lying on the hill opened his eyes with difficulty, saw two poisonous snakes crawling towards him, and thought to himself: What a wreck for death.

After a long time, the pony slowly opens his eyes and sees himself in a white tent, lying on a bed made of grass and twigs, with several medicine jars and a basin of water next to it.

Hiss!

The pony was about to stand up when he suddenly felt a lot of pain in his forelimbs and quickly lay down again. At a glance, there was a circle of cloth wrapped around it, and there were faint red blood stains oozing out.

Am I hurt? Was it bitten by a snake? But they are vipers, and am I dead?

Pony thought in horror

One of the monkeys, who was guarding outside the tent, heard a noise coming from the tent behind him, and when he got in, he saw that the pony was awake, so he turned and ran.

After a while, a decent monkey walked in, it was a monkey with glasses, a gray beard and some age, with his hands behind his back, looking at the pony.

Uh, ahem, hello, I'm from the land of horses......

I know where you're from, and you'll need to explain it again.

Uh, well, thank you for saving me.

Save you? Hmph, you think too much, I won't save you, it's my apprentice who saves you.

Oh, yes? Thank you for that ...... You're in vain.

It's the first time I've heard such an old word from a pony growing up, and it's a little out of order.

The old monkey sat down slowly and leisurely beside the pony, pinching the pony's wound.

Ah, it hurts, it hurts.

The pony couldn't help but scream.

There is also pain, it seems to be much better.

The old monkey said something in his mind.

At this time, the pony suddenly remembered the purpose of his visit to the land of monkeys, and quickly turned over to find the letter written by the little hen.

Are you looking for this?

When the pony looked back, he was relieved to see that the old monkey had the letter in his hand, and he had not lost it.

Yes, yes, that's right. It's mine, can you give it to me?

The pony nodded vigorously.

Oh? You say it's yours? So why is the letter signed by a hen? Are you called a little hen?

The old monkey lifted his big glasses, pointed to the name of the hen on the envelope, and looked at the pony.

My friend asked me to give the letter to her friend.

Oh, yes? One moment you say it's yours, the next you say it's your friend's, which one should I believe? Well?

The old monkey looked at the pony as if he had seen something.

The two don't seem to conflict, do they? I am responsible for delivering the letter written by my friend, and the letter is now in your possession, and it is mine for you and me.

Oh, I'm pretty good at talking! Okay, so what did you do when you came to the Land of Monkeys with this letter?

As I said, I'm here to find a friend?

Pony doesn't have the patience to talk to the old monkey anymore, and his friends are still waiting for him in the Great Rift Valley, and he can't afford to delay now.

What are you nervous about? Is there something wrong with this letter?

Call.

The pony took a deep breath. Then he slowly spit it out, suppressing the anger in his heart, not wanting to explain any more.

Hey, don't talk? Do you think I can't do anything about you if you don't speak? Someone's coming! Tie me up and throw me in a cell!

In an uproar, four strong monkeys walked in from outside the tent, picked up the pony with one hand, and carried it out.

There are still a lot of tents outside the tents, but these monkeys don't look like soldiers, as if they are some kind of expedition group in the field, I don't know if it's a scientific expedition or just out to play.

Along the way, many monkeys cast curious glances, and the ponies were a little shy.

With a bang, the iron cage locked the pony inside, and the pony that had been lying comfortably in the tent was now stuck in an iron cage, enjoying the wind and sun.

After a long time, no monkeys came to visit him, and the pony already felt that the forelimbs were inflamed, painful and itchy, and it was very uncomfortable, coupled with the scorching sun in the sky, the pony was thirsty and tired, and wanted to sleep. Sure enough, after a while, the pony lay down.

The monkey in the distance saw it, thought the pony was dead, and quickly informed the old monkey.

The old monkey hurried over, told him to open the cage, went in, checked his pulse, and when he was sure that the pony was not dead, he told someone to carry him to the tent, and by the way someone brought some water.

Master, you know that the horse is not a bad person, so why don't you give him the letter?

A finger at the young monkey followed the old monkey and asked softly.

What do you know, the so-called knowing people, knowing faces, not knowing hearts, can have a relationship with snakes, we can't overstate how many thoughts we have, who knows if they are acting?

Master, if he is really acting, it is not simple. You know, if we don't shoot. The horse might have died.

The little monkey continued.

The old monkey stopped and looked back at the little monkey.

You're young, you've experienced too little, and some things are more than they seem. Think about it, if those two snakes and that horse saw us coming, and then the pony was suddenly bitten by the snake again, do you think we would die and not be saved? They're sure to think we're going to save the horse, so the horse is also gambling on whether we're going to save him. If he wins the bet, he lives, and if he loses, he dies. Now, he's winning the bet. I'm going to see what he's going to do next.

Oh, so complicated? It was still the master's thoughtfulness, and the apprentice learned.

The old monkey walked towards the tent where the pony was smugly.

When the old monkey enters, the pony is awake, and his eyes are full of anger and hatred.

Ahem, here's your letter.

The little monkey puts the letter beside the pony with an apologetic look on his face.

The ponies were a little incredulous when they saw that the letter hadn't been opened, why didn't they open it and look at it, they were so suspicious of themselves?

Rest assured, your letter has not been opened.

The old monkey seemed to see something and said to the pony.

Hmph, don't you doubt that this letter is not mine? Why did you give it back to me now?

The pony twisted his head.

We're just skeptical, but we'd like to know who you want to give this letter to.

The old monkey squinted at the pony.

Okay, since you want to know, then I'll just open it and let you see!

Pony picks up the letter, although the hen hasn't said that he can't open it, but now is a special time, and he can only be sorry for the hen.

There was a piece of paper in the envelope, and some words were written on it, presumably saying that his good friend had come to the land of monkeys with two mice and a calf to ask for help, and hoped that you could help or something.

Now, give me the letter you've always wanted to read, take a look.

After reading it, the pony didn't notice anything wrong and handed the letter to the old monkey.

The old monkey took the letter, read it carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more he seemed to have seen this handwriting somewhere.

Little monkey, didn't you say you had a good friend in the country of chickens? Look at it, is it her handwriting?

After reading this, the old monkey dragged the little monkey out of the tent so that the pony could not hear it, and tilted his head to look at the little monkey.

Oh, is it, Master? Let me see.

The little monkey took the paper handed by the master and looked at it carefully. After reading it, he turned over the paper to see if there were any words left, and then raised his head excitedly and told the master that it was really a little hen's handwriting, which was not bad at all.

This is interesting, how can this be explained? Forget it, leave it to the apprentice to deal with, and by the way, see if the apprentice has learned anything in the past few days.

The old monkey stroked his beard, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

The little monkey walked into the tent, and the old monkey behind him did not come in, but said that something had gone somewhere else.

Pony looks, no problem? The pony began to think to himself: after tossing me for a long time, and finally finding out that I am not a bad person, this is interesting, I want to see how the old monkey ends, hum.

The monkey returns the letter to the pony with no expression on his face.

How about it, I've seen it all, do you have any ideas?

The pony snorted and waited for the monkey to make a fool of himself.

That's right, I read the letter, and I can basically confirm that there is no problem with the letter, and it also proves that this letter is indeed sent by your friend. But where is the person you're looking for now?

Well, I don't know where he is now, but my friend told me where his home is.

yes, then tell me where his home is.

Why am I telling you?

Well, so how about that, I write the address of my house on paper, you write the address of the person you are looking for on paper, we exchange, how about it?

Well, you can.

The little monkey asked someone to bring in a pen and paper, and then the two began to write down the address on the paper and then exchanged.

Both opened the paper at the same time, but they both stared at each other and did not look at the paper. Then they both looked at the paper at the same time, and then Pony froze, and Monkey pretended to be frozen.

This...... This is? Did you see anything in the letter that would make you write the same address as me?

Pony quickly picked up the letter and read it carefully, reading it over and over again, but unable to find the address of the person he was looking for.

At this time, the little monkey sat next to the pony.

I'm the monkey you're looking for, and by the way, the hen is also a good friend of mine.

The pony is still unbelievable, it's really broken...... Wrong!

Just as the pony was about to be happy, he suddenly remembered the old monkey and suddenly felt unhappy again.

The little monkey knows at a glance that the pony has a misunderstanding of his master.

What's that, my master and his old man are old, and they like to think nonsense, and they have offended a lot before, and I hope you will bear with me. As an excuse to express my apologies, I am hosting a dinner party tonight to welcome you.

Pony didn't believe that the little monkey had changed his face so quickly, and he was a little caught off guard, and he couldn't say the curse he had thought of for a long time.

In the evening, the little monkey really held a grand banquet, and there were many dazzling fruits, several of which he had never seen before. After a while, a few monkeys came over and invited him to dance together, at first the pony refused, he didn't know how to dance, but they didn't let him go, and just set up the pony and jumped up, and the pony couldn't break free, so he could only jump along.

After eating and drinking, the pony is a little tired, and the banquet is almost over. The pony drunkenly returned to a tent that the little monkey had set up for him, and fell asleep as soon as he lay down.

The pony is cool, but the mouse is in trouble again.

Since the little rats were so empty that there was no cover around their makeshift tent that they could be discovered, a few wolves surrounded them.

The Zodiac Kingdom is not only the twelve animals, but also other animals, but there are only a few ruling races in the kingdom.

The wolves grinned, revealing their sharp white teeth, and saliva flowed from their mouths, mainly because the calves were too tempting, and the meat of the two mice was not enough to stuff their teeth.

Calves are most afraid of this kind of predator by nature, and every time they see it, they either can't run away or run away.

Two rats held a burning red stick in one hand and waved it back and forth.

The wolf is not afraid of anything, but is afraid of this kind of fire that can light the fur on his body.

As the wolves kept calling friends, there were more and more wolves around, and if they continued like this, they would be dead.

At this time, a loud roar was heard from the lake in the distance.

Oh!!!

The sound was extremely rough and shocking, the sound came out for thousands of miles, as if the earth was trembling, those wolves were all lying on the ground, the calf was directly frightened and fainted, the mice were directly scared to pee, lying on the ground and twitching, and the little mouse was lying on the ground with his ears tightly covered and rolling.

The sound, which lasted for more than ten seconds, gradually became quieter until it disappeared.

After the sound died down, the mouse also quieted down, and the mouse stopped rolling, and the calf was already unconscious.

The little mouse sat up slowly, rubbing his ears, and could no longer hear what he was saying.

Am I deaf? Guinea pig, am I deaf?

The little mouse shouted, but he couldn't hear himself, but he knew he was definitely talking.

It's over, I'm deaf, I can't hear anything! Woooooooo

The little mouse couldn't hear his own voice and burst into tears.

The white-eyed guinea pig finally woke up, and he was no better, and likewise, he couldn't hear anything, including his own. He also began to cry.

It is not uncommon for two mice to cry at the same time, and the calf was awakened by the crying, and he dreamed in a dream that when he was a child, he was startled by the thunder, and began to cry, and then he woke up. When I woke up, I heard someone crying, and when I looked closely, it was two mice.

Why are you two crying? Well? What about my voice? it, it's over. I'm deaf? I'm so deaf! Ahh

The calf also began to cry.

A few of the dozen wolves lying on the ground around were woken up by crying, shook their bodies and stood up, and then quickly ran, staggering on the road and planting on the ground several times, struggling several times before they struggled to get up and run into the woods.

Several wolves were scared to death on the spot and their eyes rolled white.

A few of them were still unconscious, and the wolves who had come to their senses dragged them into the woods.

After a long time, the little mouse's hearing slowly recovered, and he could hear some sounds slightly, but it hurt in his ears, and a trace of blood flowed out.

The mouse had studied this aspect, and he immediately knew that it was a ruptured eardrum and needed to recuperate, and he also took out some medicine for the mouse and the calf to eat.

After taking the medicine, the little mouse felt much better, but his brain was still a little dizzy.

Quietly wait until the moment when the sun comes out at dawn, and the little mice feel that they are still good during the day.

When everyone's hearing was almost restored, the mouse said that he wanted to spend the night.

You must have been impressed by that voice, and you can probably guess where it came from, yes, it was the lake, the bottomless green lake. There must have been a behemoth living in that lake, and that sound was what it came from. Moreover, I discovered the secret of the expansion of the Great Rift Valley, yes, that voice. It was the sound that shook the Great Rift Valley in both directions.

When people go back to the rift, they see that the rift has really widened, just as the mouse said.

Back in the tent, everyone decided to leave here, if they continued to stay here, listening to the last voice, the result would not be simply deaf, maybe even a small life.

On the other side, the sleeping pony and the monkey sleeping in another tent both heard the deafening sound and stepped out of the tent to look into the distance.

Pony, isn't that where your best friend is?

That's right! Could it be that they are in trouble? No, I'm going to save them!

The pony turns and returns to the tent, packing up his things and preparing to leave.

The little monkey followed.

I know you're worried about them, and if they're in danger, it's too late even if you pass now. Why don't you tell Master in a moment, and then we'll go together to talk to your friends, how about that?

When the pony hears this, this is good.

How long does it take? Can't wait too long!

Rest assured, it's just a matter of minutes.

Well, I'm waiting for your good news.

Well, I'll tell Master about it.

The old monkey also heard that voice, and this was not the first time it had heard it. The other monkeys may not know, but he knows what it is, it is an ancient beast, a monster that has existed for a long time, although he has only seen it once, it is enough to remember it for the rest of his life.

The old monkey said that he was not willing to say anything, and warned the little monkey not to be impulsive, and at the same time threatened him that if he really followed, life and death would be impermanent, and all the consequences would be borne by himself, and he would not regret it.

After listening to Master's words, the little monkey knew the seriousness of the matter, and suddenly hesitated.

As soon as the old monkey saw it, he began to educate the little monkey, saying that people stand in the world, and pay attention to righteousness and faith, and now your good friend and good friend are in danger, and when you need to lend a helping hand, you hesitate and are afraid.

The little monkey hurriedly said that the master had taught him, and after kowtowing to the master three times, he turned around and left.

The old monkey held back the tears in his eyes, watched the little monkey gradually grow up, and gradually laughed.

In the end, only the little monkey was willing to follow the pony out, and the other monkeys were already frightened.

To be continued......
