Yi Longlong tied a knot on the silvery-edged grass by the outskirts of the woods, marking it as her starting point. Yi Longlong opened her mouth, and an unintelligible babyish voice sounded out from her throat.
“Let’s go!”
Day by day, the time passed. Yi Longlong continuously went to and fro between the lake and the woods. Every time she came back, she would bring along some things, such as fresh berries, sweet juicy rhizomes, light-weight wood, sticky clay, beautiful ores… gradually enriching her private collection.
The area of this forest was surprisingly big, far surpassing her expectations. However, in contrast to the abundance of plants and minerals, Yi Longlong did not see many animals. There was one time where she headed straight in one direction for nearly twenty days, and only then did she finally spot a creature shaped like a fur ball. Yi Longlong simply called that type of creature a fur ball. The fur balls came in all shapes and sizes. The largest one was as big as her head, the smallest one she could grasp within a single paw. The fur on their body was soft and fluffy, and they came in almost every single color.
It was very funny the first time she came across the fur balls. At the time, Yi Longlong was carefully going through the woods and suddenly saw a clearing ahead. Within the grass were three to five fur balls of different colors huddled together. She didn’t know that was a type of animal, and even thought it was some new plant species, so she excitedly went up to pet it.
The moment her claws touched the fine fluffy fur, the fur ball immediately gave a shrill shriek. “Jii!”
Now when one fur ball is alarmed, it will kick off a domino effect. The fur balls surrounding it, and the fur balls surrounding the surrounding fur balls, will shriek with fluster. “Jii! Jii Jii!”
Yi Longlong was also stupefied. “Ah?” They can make sounds?
Next second, as if a drop of water had fallen into hot oil, tens of fur balls began to jump with frenzy. The way they jumped was exactly like a bouncing basketball, but their size was much smaller. The fur balls were terrified out of their wits, madly scrambling and escaping in the direction opposite to Yi Longlong.
Yi Longlong was scared silly. This was her first time seeing live animals in the forest. The opposing party had such a powerful reaction, that without thinking much and not managing to see how the fur balls reacted, she immediately turned around and escaped in the opposite direction.
Fur balls: “JII JII JII JII JII JII!”
Yi Longlong: “AAAAAAHHHHHHHH!”
…
That was the furthest she had ever gone from the forest, but regardless of how far she travelled, she will always end up returning to that lake where she was birthed. She didn’t know why, she has an intriguing sense, as if it was an instinct flowing within her blood. That instinct told her, that the places nearby the lake were the safest for her.
The only animal around was herself. With the lake at the center, the massive woods surrounding was her territory.
In the end, she settled down by the lake, and also placed a small wooden plank by the side of the little house she made. It was used to calculate the dates in this world. Initially she used grass knots as records. When the claws become more strong and hard, she will use her nails and make a carving on the wood, recording the number of days since she has arrived in this world.
Ten days, twenty days, thirty days, a hundred days, two hundred days, three hundred days. Sixty-seven full tallies were clustered together on the wooden plank.
Facing each day full of joy and hopefulness, she did not feel this life was boring at all. Being able to jump and eat and sleep and laugh aloud, and not once falling sick or injured, with such a healthy body, Yi Longlong almost awoke from laughing in her dreams.
She was always leading a calm life, all the way till the three hundredth day when a person intruded Yi Longlong’s territory. He broke the silence of the forest, and also interrupted her peace.
