This time, Amos was the fastest. He kept a close eye on Lingling's movements. Seeing that her preparatory movements were not right, he immediately stretched out the vines and tied her up, catching her just a second before she fell into the lake.
Lingling's self-indulgent movement was aborted halfway, and she found herself suddenly tied up tightly. She moved a little uncomfortably and looked at Amos with a wronged look.
"Ah, ah? (What's wrong?)"
"Aa ...
Amos felt a little softened by what he heard, but no matter how soft-hearted he was, he couldn't let her continue this moth-to-flame behavior.
Not wanting to scare Lingling, Amos slowly placed her in a safe place by the lake, then explained to her, "Little one, if you fall in, you'll drink a lot of water and die."
Thinking Lingling didn't understand what he was saying, Amos made funny gestures while he spoke, trying to make her understand the meaning.
Lingling understood what he said, ignored the uncle's flying branches, and nodded her head solemnly.
She heard the word "death" again. Although she still didn't quite understand what it meant, she knew it was a very bad thing.
Lingling nodded her little head at him solemnly, "Yeah, yeah!", her little head almost leaving an afterimage.
Lingling is a good child and will be obedient.
However, when I turned around and looked at the holy lake right in front of me, I felt a little regretful.
Then he stretched out his little fleshy hands and grabbed one of Amos' branches, saying in a consultative manner: "Ah-ah-bo, Ling-ah-ah (Uncle hugs, Ling-ling touches)."
Amos didn't understand, but seeing her pointing to the holy lake with one hand and pointing to herself with the other, and thinking about Lingling's previous actions, he guessed that she wanted to play in the water.
Feeling like a doting parent, he ignored the chatter of the other tree people and a few tree people's cubs and stretched Lingling to the edge of the lake where she could touch the water.
This time, Amos carefully tied a comfortable "seat belt" for Lingling and also put a thick leaf under her butt to prevent it from hurting the tender baby.
Lingling saw that she had arrived at the lake in a flash. She kicked her arms and legs with joy, and then she lay down on the lake and started playing in the water.
She paddled her short little hands back and forth on the surface of the lake, poking and prodding carefully at first, feeling the unique touch. After making sure that the lake water was harmless to her, she suddenly scooped up a handful of water, gently sprinkled it upwards, admiring the sight of the water droplets scattering everywhere, and giggled with joy.
The tree people watching were so touched by her satisfied look.
"Look, what a cute little guy~"
"Seeing this makes me want to go play in the water too. Do you think the elders will punish me?"
"Oh~ Be more confident, the elders will definitely deal with you. Can you compete with this little cutie?"
......
Amos still felt that the children were not having enough fun, so he went to the pile of tree people and whispered to them.
"Hey guys, let's play some fun games with the kids."
"Let's do this for now..."
"And then like that..."
Hearing his words, the tree people were a little excited and responded positively.
Soon, countless branches were seen rushing towards the holy lake. The branches overlapped and moved forward in unison, as if they were spliced into a long green carpet. In an instant, it stretched across the east and west and was "held" above the holy lake.
At first glance, it looks like a green ribbon tied around a piece of jade.
Not only that, the tree people also carefully controlled the hardness of the branches to make them moderately soft, thus ensuring that the blanket of branches would not hurt Lingling.
“Wow~~~~”
Lingling who was playing in the water and the other tree people who didn't participate looked at the bridge in front of them in shock. They were speechless for a moment and could only exclaim "wow".
It was Amos who broke the strange atmosphere. He excitedly said to Lingling while gesturing, "Baby, you can go play on the lake now. Are you happy?"
When Lingling heard this, her big eyes lit up and she let out a loud "Ah~" to express her happiness.
"Mua~~" She blew Amos a warm kiss, then fastened her "safety belt" and quickly climbed up the bridge specially built for her by the tree people.
At first, Lingling was a little scared. After all, the bridge was built close to the lake surface, only slightly above it. If she crawled a little too far, it would splash some lake water from time to time.
However, when she turned around and saw the uncles and aunts who had built a large playground for her, Lingling suddenly became bolder. She was not alone, she had many helpers behind her, and Lingling was not afraid.
Thinking of this, he twisted his little butt and crawled farther and farther.
After climbing to the center of the lake, Lingling's energy gradually ran out. She finally felt a little tired, but she didn't struggle and simply lay down on the bridge to recuperate.
"Ling-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-wu (Ling-ling is tired, please take a rest for a while)"
Amos, who was following behind, also realized that the little girl might be tired, so he didn't disturb her and stood quietly behind her. He decided to take Lingling back after she got up.
He hadn't originally imagined she would run so far. Children have such good stamina? Shouldn't the training of the young tree warriors in the tribe be increased? Amos thought maliciously.
...The young tree warriors who had suffered such an unexpected disaster said, "Thank you."
Lingling was resting on the bridge, with her big watery eyes closed and her small chest rising and falling. People who didn't know her would think she was asleep.
But in fact, she was unconsciously mobilizing the wood magic element to relieve her own discomfort. The center of the holy lake was already filled with rich magic elements. After a while, the little guy was wrapped into a green ball of light again.
