Following that, Jin Jiatong grabbed Little Sun’s hand even more agitatedly as he exclaimed, “No, Sister, can you see it?”

Little Sun grinned and shouted, “I see it! Brother, I see it! I see the fireflies in front of me! Aiya, Brother, look! There’s another one there!”

“Where is it?” Jin Jiatong asked despite knowing the answer.

Little Sun said smugly, “Brother, you’re so stupid. I’m the best! Look, he’s flying over there at the tree. Wow…”

The cries of Little Sun seemed to awaken the entire forest. The grass swayed in the wind, and then a little green spot rose up. It was like a dream-like world!

Little Sun circled on the spot as she looked around. She shouted, “Brother! Look, there are so many fireflies!”

Jin Jiatong was also stunned by the group of fireflies. He nodded in joy…

The fireflies flew into the air, surrounding the two children and creating a dreamy childhood.

Little Sun was extremely excited. Jin Jiatong wanted to grab one but was stopped by Little Sun. “Don’t catch them.”

Jin Jiatong said, “Sister, since you like them so much, I’ll take two back and keep them in the bottle for you. Wouldn’t you be seeing fireflies every day in the future?”

Little Sun shook her little head and said, “No… Brother, look at how beautiful they dance in this forest. They fly freely and are so beautiful. If they are sealed in a small bottle, they will be unhappy. They won’t fly or glow.”

Jin Jiatong listened to her childish words and pursed his lips. “Do you think fireflies are human beings? Do you think they have so many thoughts?”

“Amitabha. Patron, everything in the world has sentience. Let’s not talk about fireflies. Even when it comes to plants, if you bring them home and do not fulfill their requirements, they will also die. Fireflies are more precious than plants. Once the environment changes, they will die. Are you sure you want to take a few back?” Fangzheng finally spoke.

When Jin Jiatong heard that the fireflies would die, he hurriedly shook his head and said, “Forget it. Let them stay here. When we have time in the future, we will come again to see them.”

“That’s good! Brother, in the future, we’ll come to see fireflies every once in a while, alright?” Little Sun said excitedly.

“Alright. As long as you want to see it, I’ll bring you here,” said Jin Jiatong.

Fangzheng looked at the siblings who had such a deep, strong relationship and smiled. He said gently, “A wind is stirring. Look up at the sky.”

The two children didn’t understand what was happening. They looked up and saw the tree rustling its leaves under the wind. Following that, green fireflies flew out from behind the leaves and transformed into a green river of fireflies. They danced in the air… Following that, the river descended as Fangzheng brought the two children to make it seem like they were in the Milky Way!

The green light illuminated the grass and trees. The crisscrossing shadows were like dancers that did the dance of nature.

The entire world was so beautiful…

Even Fangzheng, who had created this dreamscape, was dumbfounded. He muttered to himself, “Nature has created so much beauty for this world. Unfortunately, many of them are being destroyed. This is childhood. It’s also a dream…”

As he spoke, Fangzheng closed his eyes. When he opened them again, the dreamscape was gone. At the very least, Fangzheng could not see it. However, the siblings were still immersed in it. They lay on the ground, having beautiful dreams. They seemed to be having fun.

Fangzheng smiled when he saw how happy the siblings were. He walked over and began treating Little Sun. Little Sun’s illness was mainly divided into two parts: eyes and legs.

Her eyes suffered from severe myopia. She couldn’t see anything that was slightly further away. Her legs were born this way. One of her nerves had been severed, making her control of her legs while walking to be very difficult.

However, this wasn’t a problem for Fangzheng. He adjusted the distance of the retina and connected it to the nerves. Everything happened naturally. At the same time, he used Buddhistic medicine Spirit Qi to nourish the nerves and retina, wiping away all possible latent problems…

After settling everything, Fangzheng slowly stood up. Just as he was about to say something, he saw the distant elephant suddenly stand up and warily look down the mountain.

Fangzheng jumped onto the elephant’s back and looked down. There was fire at the foot of the mountain!

Tens of torches passed through the woods, and he could vaguely hear someone shouting, “Jiatong, Little Sun! Where are you?”

Fangzheng knew that the elders of the two children had come to find them. It made sense. Although they had grown up in the village, in this relatively primitive forest with wild elephants who might flare up or other fierce creatures, even adults would be in danger if they lost themselves in the forest at night, much less two children.

Now that the two children had not returned at night, how could they not be anxious?

Fangzheng thought for a moment and patted the elephant’s head. “It looks like I’ll have to trouble you this time. Send these two kids to the humans. Remember, if you can see them from afar, they can also see you. When that happens, you can put the children down. Then, quickly leave. Don’t stay.”

Fangzheng was also unsure if the villagers had any powerful weapons. He did not wish to cause the elephant to be injured because of a misunderstanding.

Fangzheng carried the children up the elephant’s back with one in each hand. The elephant trumpeted and ran down the mountain.

“Teacher Jin, did you hear that? It sounds like a wild elephant!” someone exclaimed.

A short-haired man with fair skin had a dark look flash in his eyes as he said, “That’s indeed the sound of a wild elephant. Let’s approach it. Stay safe! Don’t get into a conflict with the elephant!”

“Alright…” The man left after saying that.

A woman said worriedly, “I hope those two kids don’t run into the elephant.”

“Don’t say that. You are making me panic,” someone complained.

The short-haired man was Jin Jiatong’s father, Jin Chang. When he finished teaching for the day, he realized that his children weren’t at home. He didn’t think much of it at first. However, he started to get anxious when they didn’t return home despite it getting dark. He searched the entire village but couldn’t find the siblings. This made him even more anxious.

When the others in the village heard that the siblings were missing, they also became anxious and asked around.

Grandpa Zhang guessed that the two children might have gone up the mountain to look for fireflies, so all the adults in the village came to this mountain to look for the siblings.

Although they were searching for the siblings, there was a whispering voice in the crowd: “There are wild elephants here. Those two children are probably doomed.”

“That’s right. Wild elephants are brutal. They don’t care if they are children when killing people.”

Upon hearing these words, Jin Chang’s expression turned increasingly nasty, but he didn’t say anything. He only quickened his pace and shouted out even louder, hoping that a miracle would happen—seeing the two children appear before him when he walked around a tree.

Unfortunately, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Looking behind the countless trees, he did not see his two children…
