Chapter 107 'Late Light on the Branches'

The interview was over in less than half an hour.

The four children had almost finished their watermelon, and their grandmother wanted to keep them for dinner. The four cubs shook their heads at the same time: "Grandma, we will come to play with you tomorrow."

If they stay out for too long, their parents will worry.

After saying goodbye to Amin and grandma, the four little ones set out on their journey to find the treasure.

The four small baskets were washed clean by grandma and hung under the eaves to dry.

"Where should we find the treasure?" Niu Niu asked.

Pei Qiqi looked back at the forest they had just seen. The clue they got was a photo of the forest, but it was taken before it was polluted.

But time cannot be reversed, and the forest cannot return to its lush and clean appearance in the photo.

Mi Le touched his chin and thought calmly: "Are they asking us to look for shells?"

Several accompanying photographers saw that the cubs, who had set out with great vigor and ambition to find the best treasures, now had sad faces and were moving forward slowly.

Su Youli looked up to the sky and sighed, what kind of treasure is this?

What is a treasure? It is the shiniest and most precious thing…but they can’t find it.

The four little guys' steps became heavier as they walked, and halfway through they simply sat down and stopped walking.

They sat on the beach, with the rolling white waves in front of them.

Mile and Pei Qiqi were very conscious of being older brothers and looked at the photo seriously.

On the other side, Niu Niu was leading You You to replicate the toilet that Mile made for them on the beach.

The "splashing" sound of the waves is more attractive than a toilet. Watching it closely, Su Youli feels that the waves look more like the lace of a cream cake.

The little mouth opened and closed several times, making a "woop" sound, followed by a small swallowing sound.

Ocean cake, so delicious.

At this moment, the sun was about to set, and the two brothers were brainstorming, thinking about what the treasure they were asked to find in the mission was.

Niu Niu, who is obsessed with building toilets, has already made a flower toilet and she even wrote her own name on it.

Bored Su Youli held her small basket. The golden light and the sparkling sea surface intertwined, as if countless diamonds were jumping.

The sea breeze gently blew on the little guy's soft and white cheeks, carrying the wet and salty taste of sea water. The feeling was so wonderful that the little guy stuck out his tongue and tried to taste whether the sea breeze was also salty.

Soon, the setting sun, as huge as a fireball, slowly sank, the light was soft and warm, and the whole sky turned orange-red.

The clouds were also dyed into various brilliant colors by the afterglow, like red flames, pink cotton candy, and golden ribbons flying in the sky.

This was a magnificent landscape that Su Youli had never seen before, and the little guy's first reaction was that he really missed his three dads and moms, his big brother, his second brother, Xiao Tang, and Su Yuanzi...

Then he saw the small camera that was always hanging on the handle of the bamboo basket.

It was a very small children’s camera, not the one that Cen Yuankai had snatched before, but a brand new small camera, palm-sized, with a lightweight and cute design.

The little guy was full of excitement. He tilted his round head and spoke to Uncle Da Mo: "Uncle Da Mo, can I use the camera?"

The black camera moved downward, and then the little guy in the lens smiled with his cheeks puffed out, his eyes curved into crescents, and his white baby teeth revealed.

“Crack—Crack—”

The rhythmic sound of shutter clicks interrupted the rhythm of the other three cubs.

"Youyou, what are you doing?" Niu Niu was the closest and trotted over.

The little girl's first experience of building a toilet was not very smooth. There was sand all over her arms and face, and there was some sand in her hair.

"I want to take a picture and show it to my dad when I get back."

He is too young to describe such a beautiful scene, so it is more intuitive to take pictures.

Niu Niu now dislikes her father a little bit, but she also wants her mother to see such a beautiful sunset.

However, her mother was not there, and she didn’t take out her camera since she could watch the show later.

In comparison, the little guy can be said to be very anxious.

The show will be broadcast for a long time, so he will share his photos with all the parents as soon as he gets back.

"Brother Qiqi, look——"

The little guy ran over with his little camera and showed him the sunset he had just captured.

Pei Qiqi's eyes fell on the camera. The picture was not very clear, but she could still see the beautiful scenery. She raised her eyes to look at the little guy who was shaking his head.

He couldn't help but pinched the little guy's chubby face, and then said to Mi Le: "I think I know what the treasure in the woods is."

Yes, just as he guessed, the treasures hidden in the woods were the tall trees that had experienced damage but still stood upright.

Whenever the setting sun shines, they can briefly regain their original beauty.

Humans have destroyed them, but the sunset, moonlight, and the sun that constantly radiates heat have not abandoned them.

The photo taken by the little guy just happened to capture the scene of the setting sun resting on the treetops.

He suddenly heard the little guy swallowing and looked up.

"Brother Qiqi, does it look like the egg yolk pastry that my second brother bought for us?"

Pei Qiqi smiled, and found the little guy's reaction of associating everything with food extremely adorable.

"Do you think it looks good?"

“It looks good.”

"Do you think it's a treasure?"

The little guy was surprised that the treasure could be this.

After being stunned for a while, the little guy nodded his head vigorously: "I think it is the treasure we are looking for."

It’s not something you can just pick up, nor is it a rare plant hidden in the woods.

The treasure they were looking for was the sunset that enveloped the 'injured' forest, as if it had put a layer of soft and beautiful armor on the forest.

Let the injured forest absorb energy and continue to take root in the soil. No matter how badly it is hurt, it will stand there firmly.

Thinking of this, the little guy was already moved by the friendship between the sunset and the forest.

He pursed his lips: "They can only be seen for a short time a day."

Children's childish words and expressions have wild imaginations.

Pei Qiqi comforted him: "But this is the happiest moment of the day for the sunset and the forest."

They are all waiting for this moment.

......

The little guys discussed it and decided to hand in the photos that Youyou had just taken.

The director's heart melted when he saw the picture of 'Evening Sunlight on Branches' captured by the camera, which showed no shooting skills at all and the picture was even a little blurry.

Without even a second thought, the director approved it immediately and said into the speaker in a super exaggerated tone: "All the children performed very well today!"

"You didn't leave when you saw the dirty woods, and you helped pick up the trash. We are proud of you—"

The praises kept pouring out, and the four little ones pricked up their ears and listened obediently, puffing out their chests, raising their chins, and showing proud smiles.

"Now, please come up and claim your rewards for today!"

The golden little feet sticker turned into a pure gold little feet badge, which sparkled brightly when worn on the chest.

"Brother Qiqi, please take a picture for me. I want to send it to my little dad and Kunkun!"

With a "click", the little guy in the photo has red lips, white teeth, cute round eyes, and a smile sweeter than honey on his chubby cheeks.
