Chapter Seventy-Six: Empty

"What is the heart?" asked Xiaocao.

"The heart is ...... I forgot. The wind said.

"The heart is the thing that flutters here!" the plush jumped in front of the grass, pulling the grass leaf and placing it on its chest.

"Puff, puff......"

"Wow, oh, it's amazing. Xiaocao said enviously, "When will I be able to grow my heart?"

"I'm going to touch it too!" the stone shook its body vigorously, but it still couldn't take a step forward.

Plush had no choice but to pick it up and put it on his chest.

"Wow, that's warm!" the stone said happily.

"I want it too, I want it too!" Xiaocao cried softly.

"Good!"

"Wow! that's great!"

The wind was cramping, and it circled in place.

And so a tornado was formed.

"Ahhh

"Ahh

"Ouch!" the stone shook in place.

"I ...... I also wanted to try what it felt like to have a heartbeat. The wind said.

"Come on, friend!" the squirrel lowered the blades of the grass and stretched out its arms to the wind.

The wind leaned over excitedly.

"Ahβ€”β€”! wind, you lighten up, I'm afraid of heightsβ€”β€”!" Plush cried out in horror.

The wind gently lowered the plush back to the ground, but the little squirrel looked a little drunk, swaying, and its eyes were spinning in circles.

"I want to get my heart back, and I want to be so warm. ”

Plush still didn't hold back the vertigo, and fell to the ground on all fours: "Only the summer wind is warm, you should go and look for summer." ”

"Where's the summer?" asked the wind.

"Summer...... Over there!" Fluffy casually pointed in the direction, "It's always coming from over there!"

"Oh...... Thank you. The wind said and was about to leave.

"Are you leaving?" asked Plush reluctantly.

"Yes, I'm going to look for Summer, and it may know where my heart is. ”

"Go ahead, I wish you a good journey...... Hmm, no, you're the wind yourself, so I wish you all the best!"

"Are you not coming back, Wind?" asked Xiaocao.

"I don't know, maybe ......"

"Go farther afield, friend, my grandfather said you have to work towards the end of the world!" cried the little squirrel.

The wind is gone.

"Do you think it will find summer?" asked Xiaocao.

"Yes. Squirrel said.

"Really?"

"Of course, it ...... It doesn't belong here. ”

......

The wind is moving again.

It was just a blink of an eye, and it was at the end of the world.

It's the highest mountain – at least far from it.

But isn't this the end of the world? Why is there a ...... beyond the mountain?

It was a piece of lush, distant mountains and rivers!

Where is that? Is it another world?

Turns out summer is in another world?

So it crossed over the greenery, over the mountains and rivers, and cried out over and over again, "Has anyone seen my heart?"

Between heaven and earth, there is only its echo.

It had no choice but to walk aimlessly, only to move forward.

It suddenly felt hot.

"Is it summer?" shouted the wind.

"No, I'm a volcano. ”

"And do you know where summer is?"

"Summer? I don't know, maybe you should go further afield, I don't have a summer here. ”

"Oh, thanks. "The wind is going to go again.

"Wait. The volcano suddenly stopped it.

"What's wrong, Mr. Volcano?"

"You seem to be looking for something?"

"Yes, I can't find my heart anymore, I've looked far away. ”

"What is the heart?"

"That's it...... Plop plop stuff. The wind said.

"Then I have it too!"

"Really?"

"You listen ......"

Beneath the crater, the magma bubbles, viscous and hot.

"Plop, plop, plop......" is the sound of a calm and powerful heartbeat.

"Great!" said Feng Envy.

"I was born with it, so I think you should go and look where you were born. Volcano said.

"Where I Was Born......"

"Where I was born......

At one point, an image flashed through its mind, but it was too vague, too fast, to capture.

"Thank you, Mr. Volcano, but I can't remember where I was born. ”

"Good luck then, Wind. ”

So the wind set off again.

......

It came to another hill, for it heard a chatter, and a low, magnificent song.

"Mr. Waterfall, you seem to be happy?" the wind came to the waterfall.

"yes. Waterfall said.

"Why?"

"Look at these little ones. The waterfall sang a magnificent song as it spoke.

The wind looks past.

There was a bunch of little monkeys around there.

"Whoever can jump in will be king!"

"Yes, whoever can jump in will be king!"

So the little monkeys became eager.

"I'm coming!" a little monkey swaggered, stretched, and pressed his leg again.

It is moving forward.

Suddenly, it stopped, turned around and walked back, smiling: "Who can!"

"Hahaha!" the monkeys jumped up and suddenly began a carnival of unknown significance.

Suddenly, an emaciated monkey rushed out without warning, and thenβ€”fell into the river below the waterfall.

"Aha, it really jumped, hahaha!" the monkeys laughed again.

When the wind saw it, he quickly pulled up the monkey in the water who kept waving his arms and slapping the water.

It swirled, bringing up a waterspout.

The monkey that fell into the water was already dying.

"Hey, are you stupid?" asked one of the monkeys, "knowing you can't jump over." ”

"I ...... I want to try. Said the monkey who fell into the water.

"You're so weak, you can't do it!"

"Hahaha!"

The wind didn't speak, just watched.

Night.

The monkeys have dispersed.

The waterfall is still humming.

In the low but loud singing, there is always a little "plop" sound, like a heartbeat.

But it wasn't really a heartbeat – it was the sound of a monkey falling into the water.

"Why don't you want to give up?" the wind swept the monkey again.

It seemed that it could no longer get up, and could only lie on the ground and gasp frantically.

"Monkeys are born with dreams, and they can't be the same as all monkeys, so no one will remember me. The monkey said.

"Why...... Do you want other monkeys to remember?" the wind felt something turn on and suddenly lit up.

Where is the heart?

But the heart is no longer there.

"But it can't be the same as all monkeys, so that heaven and earth will not leave my name, no one will remember my appearance, my existence, and no trace in this world. ”

"But how many can really leave traces?"

"I ...... I don't know, but I'm going to at least try. The monkey struggled to his feet again.

"Give up, you can't swim at all, if you fall again, you'll die. The wind said.

"No!" the monkey stared stubbornly at the waterfall.

It finally rushed out again.

The waterfall suddenly opened its mouth, revealing its deep mouth.

It's a cave, a beautiful cave.

Many stalactites poked out from everywhere, glowing with colored light, and there was a pool of clear water in the cave, which was fragrant.

"This ...... It's ......" The monkey was stunned, looking at the scene in front of him.

"Congratulations, you've made it!" said Feng excitedly.

"I succeeded?" the monkey reacted and began to ecstasy, "I succeeded! Ahβ€”β€”! I--success--la-β€”β€”!"

I don't know how loud it is, but the wind around me is shaking and ringing in my ears.

It took a long time for the monkey to calm down.

It looked at the wind and said, "I know it's you, but thank you anyway." ”

"Me, what's wrong with me?"

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to jump in even if I drowned. ”

"Whatever you have, it's all your own strength!"

"Actually, I'm just angry. The monkey said.

"Why are you angry, who are you angry about?"

"I don't know, could it be my own, or maybe someone else's?"

"No monkey knows how to water, and almost all monkeys fall into the water and sink to the bottom, and I'm not happy. ”

"But what does that have to do with you jumping into a waterfall?" asked the wind.

"I want to be the only monkey in the world who knows how to water, can't I?"

"Okay, but it's stupid. ”

"Stupid?"

"Hmm. ”

"But I came in, didn't I?"

The wind suddenly blew itself, and it turned into wisps of light mist that surrounded the monkey.

"You...... Is there a name?" it asked.

"I love the word 'empty' and I want to use it for my name. ”

Empty said.
