It is said that curiosity kills cats, but it cannot be denied that curiosity is also the greatest motivation for people to discover and understand unknown things, and curiosity is also the most arousing people's desire to explore.

When Zhang Xiaoqi's small steps slowly climbed to the entrance of the cave halfway up the mountainside along the zigzag mountain road, Zhang Xiaoqi's face was slightly red, although he was younger, but the words of the poor child's early family were not in vain, since the age of three, he watched his brothers and sisters help the family busy, and slowly learned to do the work that he could do, two years made Zhang Xiaoqi understand the embarrassment of the family, and the small body also has the strength and physical strength of a peasant child;

Looking at this slightly familiar hole, Zhang Xiaoqi suddenly thought of the second brother carrying his not very generous shoulders, Zhang Xiaoqi shook his head, drove away the thoughts that should not be there now, followed the light of the sun shining into the hole, and looked into the cave, but the places as far as the eye could see were within the range of sunlight, and no matter how deep the place was, there was some darkness that made him timid, Zhang Xiaoqi cheered himself up silently again in his heart

"It's okay, I just came with my second brother half a year ago, and I lit a fire, the hole is not deep, there is nothing in it except stones"

"That's right, fire, you can see inside by lighting a fire," Zhang Xiaoqi shouted as if he had discovered something he particularly liked

Then trembling his little hand quickly stretched out into his arms, touched twice and failed to take out the flint won from the little fat man of the landlord's house, and finally touched the flint with some tentacles from his arms, and then took the small woodcutter from his waist, in fact, the old Zhang changed the woodcutter that had been used for a long time after sharpening it; Zhang Xiaoqi first found a soft dry grass and put it behind a stone that was winded, Zhang Xiaoqi did not light the fire at the entrance of the cave like the second brother Zhang Wu, he was still a little afraid, the small woodcutter and the flint rubbed hard against the dead grass a few times, watching some sparks slowly ignite the dead grass, Zhang Xiaoqi put down the flint and the small firewood knife, knelt down and bowed his head to blow the red and black place of the withered grass, blew a few times, there was thick smoke, and then "coaxed", the withered grass burned, Zhang Xiaoqi hurriedly found a small withered branch next to the withered grass and carefully placed it on the burning withered grass, and waited for the fire to light the withered branch and add some thicker withered branches, the fire was ignited, looking at the small fire, Zhang Xiaoqi was a little proud, after all, he had only seen his father, mother and second brother ignite the fire, and the first time it was successful.

Zhang Xiaoqi proudly looked at the fire that he had successfully lit for the first time, and was stunned for a while, and when he woke up, he looked at the cave again, and then looked at the fire again, and then slowly moved the fire to the entrance of the cave, with the reflection of the fire, Zhang Xiaoqi saw that the inside of the cave was no different from when he and his second brother Zhang Wu took him to hide from the rain half a year ago

"But what's wrong with these flowers and trees? Why are you crouching towards the entrance of the cave?"

Zhang Xiaoqi walked a few steps into the cave, the cave was actually not very deep, only a dozen steps for adults, but he still didn't find anything different, and when Zhang Xiaoqi walked to the innermost part of the cave, looking at the exposed rocks, he still didn't find anything different

"Hey, that's weird, why isn't there anything?" Zhang Xiaoqi was talking to himself

The little hand holding the small firewood knife angrily waved the back of the small firewood knife and slashed at the smoothest mountain rock, Zhang Xiaoqi thought that the small firewood knife would bounce back as before, and was about to follow the direction of the small firewood knife to bounce back

"Huh......?"

The back of the small firewood knife actually cut into the seemingly hard mountain stone, the surface of the most flat mountain stone was shattered, and the broken small stones fell to the ground one after another, Zhang Xiaoqi jumped back to avoid the falling small stones, and then looked at the surface of the mountain rocks that were somewhat broken, after the surface of the mountain stones was broken, a small hole a few inches square leaked out, and there seemed to be something inside...

Zhang Xiaoqi was stunned for a while, and after a few breaths, he closed his open mouth and swallowed not much saliva

"I'll just say, how can there be nothing?"

"Haha"

Then the back of the knife wielding a small firewood knife continued to knock off the gravel next to the small hole, the whole small hole leaked out, in a quadrangular shape, there seemed to be a small box in the depths, Zhang Xiaoqi looked at the side of the leaking small box, there was a relief pattern on it that he couldn't understand, although he couldn't understand it, but Zhang Xiaoqi felt very beautiful, and subconsciously stretched out his hand and took out the box, it was not very heavy, and it could be picked up with one hand.

Zhang Xiaoqi didn't think it was too light, he was a rural child at all, not to mention that he was only five years old, he had no concept of gold, silver and jewelry, and it was impossible to see it, but he simply felt that the patterns on the box were good-looking, and he looked at it over and over for a long time, and he didn't see the reason, there was no gap in the box, and the reason why Zhang Xiaoqi didn't think it was a box instead of a square block was that with the sound of objects hitting back and forth when looking through the box, the sound was small enough for Zhang Xiaoqi to hear very clearly in the silent and uninhabited cave。

After looking back and forth for a long time, Zhang Xiaoqi gave up the idea of being able to open the box and find out, not that he didn't think of using his small firewood knife to split it, but he was rejected by himself as soon as he had this idea

"What a beautiful box, it's a pity if it's broken"

Zhang Xiaoqi, who was admiring his first toy, suddenly slapped his head

"I almost forgot to get down to business"

As he spoke, he held the box with one hand, hung his small firewood knife on his waist with the other hand and walked towards the entrance of the cave, stepped on the small fire at the entrance of the cave with his little foot, and walked down the mountain road where he came.

Hurried down the mountain, perhaps a little excitement, the abnormal recovery of the flowers and trees on the mountain also chose to forget for a while, and continued to follow the path down the mountain to the place where the cattle were grazing.

Maybe it's God's favor or some other old cow knows the way, Zhang Xiaoqi doesn't understand, anyway, when he arrived at the valley meadow where the cattle used to be herded, the docile old cow was leisurely eating grass.

"Whew, fortunately the cow didn't run away, haha"

Found the place where the cattle were in a daze in the past, under a small willow tree, the shade of the tree is naturally small, but it is enough to cover Zhang Xiaoqi's thin body, sit down carefully with one hand and hold the box, look left and right, except for the old cow, I didn't see anyone else, turned his eyes back and continued to look at the box, driven by curiosity, Zhang Xiaoqi thought about how to open the box, and when the sun was more than halfway west, he still didn't open the box

"I still can't open it."

Zhang Xiaoqi put down the box helplessly, his small brows were tightly locked, and his eyes unconsciously looked at the meadow, where a butterfly was flapping its wings and flying beside a few wildflowers......

"Butterflies, where have you seen them?"

"Ahh yes, why didn't I think of that," he said, patting his head......
