Chapter 160: Breakthrough in Progress
After encouraging each other, the four families went their separate ways.
Hua Zhao held Pei Qiqi's hand and walked to the stone tablet that was taller than her.
This kind of puzzle game is actually very simple for adults.
The symbols and patterns on the stone tablet are actually relatively simple and abstract, giving a feeling of ancient writing.
Hua Zhao took the bag off Qiqi's shoulder and put it aside. She firmly believed that the answer to this riddle would not be difficult for Qiqi, so she did not say anything when Qiqi frowned and thought seriously.
She wished that all the cameras would be pointed at Qiqi so that after the show was broadcast, everyone would know how smart Qiqi was.
Pei Qiqi did not disappoint her aunt's expectations. She quickly pointed to a pattern and said, "Aunt, this pattern looks like an owl."
Hua Zhao leaned over and identified it carefully.
It is indeed a very obvious animal statue pattern.
"This is a deer, a squirrel..."
There are six animal patterns in total. What do the remaining symbols represent?
Pei Qiqi was thinking seriously, and the sound of birds singing in the forest was endless.
"...Find the guardian of the forest." Pei Qiqi whispered, looking around.
Hua Zhao reminded: "Should we find the guardians of these forests? Where should we find them?"
Pei Qiqi's eyes suddenly lit up: "Symbols are their home. As long as we find their home, we can find them!"
Hua Zhao showed a gratified smile and pinched his serious little face: "Qiqi is awesome."
Looking carefully, Pei Qiqi discovered that there was an arrow on each symbol, guiding him.
He followed the symbols and, with Hua Zhao's reminder, soon found the animal statues hidden in the open space by the director team.
The statue is made of foam and is not heavy.
Pei Qiqi trotted and brought all the animal statues to the front of the stone tablet, and arranged them one by one according to the order of the patterns on the stone tablet.
Suddenly, a celebratory music exploded in the open space, and the director's voice came from the loudspeaker: "Congratulations, little Pei Xu, you are the first to complete the task, come and get your key fragment!"
At the same time, in the same forest, Mile and Mi Huan walked to the "maze" built by the program team.
The two brothers read the clearance requirements carefully twice at the entrance before stepping in.
"Brother, don't be afraid, just follow me." Mile was very worried.
Mi Huan pretended not to notice how slowly his brother walked and hummed in a supportive manner.
Mile's heart was also beating fast. He really loved playing maze games and was a game king in kindergarten.
But the maze in front of me is cramped and narrow, and I have to make a choice as soon as I enter the entrance.
When he came to a crossroads, he hesitated a little, afraid of taking the wrong path.
Feeling the sweaty little hand in his palm, Mi Huan squatted down and helped wipe the sweat off the child's forehead: "Le Le, what are you afraid of?"
Mi Le took a deep breath and shook his head: "I don't know."
Mi Huan knew his character very well, so he stroked his hair and said patiently, "You're afraid of taking the wrong road, right?"
Although his younger brother is only five and a half years old, he is extremely competitive.
He is the oldest among the children in the variety show, so he always feels that he has to take good care of his younger siblings.
Mi Huan felt a little distressed. There was a dozen years age difference between him and Mi Le. He used to think that his younger brother was a funny guy with an outgoing personality who was liked wherever he went.
Until yesterday, after he and Wang Zhi sent their luggage back to the hotel, they became worried about their children and went to the program crew to watch the video.
Mile in the video had a stern face, far from his usual lively and cheerful self. Even when surrounded by so many people, he had to protect Qiqi and Niu Niu.
Mi Huan saw that his calves were shaking and his eyes were red, but he was still persisting.
When Wang Zhi saw that Niu Niu was protected so well, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He smiled and thanked Mi Huan, saying that Mi Le was a really good brother.
Mi Huan smiled reluctantly, her nose felt sore, and she almost couldn't hold back her tears.
It was clearly he who repeatedly told Mile to take good care of his younger siblings when he was outside, but he felt extremely sad when he saw with his own eyes that the usually unreliable boy had turned into a responsible and capable little man.
He pretended to be relaxed and pinched Mi Le's face: "If you make a mistake, it's a mistake. This is just a game. Besides, if we make a mistake, we can always start over."
Mile looked up at him and said nothing.
He looked at the difficult maze in front of him and was a little afraid that he wouldn't be able to get out. Maybe he would be able to get out in the end, but it would take a long time, and Youyou and the others would definitely be waiting for him.
His little head was rubbed hard several times by his brother, and then his hand was grabbed tightly.
Mi Huan's palms were large and warm, giving him some energy invisibly.
"You have my brother here, what are you afraid of?"
Mi Le blinked and called out blankly, "Brother."
Mi Huan took him with him for the rest of the journey. When they came to some intersections, Mi Huan would stop and ask for his opinion.
Mile made the wrong choice several times, and then Mi Huan held his hand and led him back until he chose the right path.
In less than ten minutes, the two brothers found the exit and successfully obtained the key fragment.
Mile turned his head and looked at the winding, rugged and unpredictable maze behind him.
"Look, we took the wrong path many times, but we still got out."
Mile nodded.
"So, don't be afraid to make choices and don't put pressure on yourself. Our Lele is only five years old, which is already great."
In fact, his brother seldom praised him, so Mile was very happy. He held his brother's hand and rubbed his fingertips in his palm.
After getting the fragments, Mile started to worry about the other children.
Not far away, Niu Niu had already put on protective equipment such as knee pads, and moved carefully, with her arms outstretched and her feet raised, and walked onto the balance beam.
"Niuniu, brother is waiting for you at the finish line."
Both the adult and the child have to walk on the balance beam, which has a thick protective pad underneath so it won’t get painful if they fall.
Niu Niu took a deep breath and walked up tremblingly.
The balance beam was only a few meters long. Wang Zhi ran across it in one minute and immediately stood at the finish line, cupping his hands to his mouth: "Niuniu, come on!"
Wang Zhiye was still a child, chattering and waving his limbs to cheer for Niu Niu.
Niu Niu's pace of movement was disrupted by him, and she fell off the balance beam with a "bang".
Wang Zhi: “…”
Niu Niu fell on the mat, tears immediately welled up in her eyes, and she supported herself on the mat with her hands and dared not move.
She was afraid of the feeling of falling, very afraid.
"Niuniu, does it hurt?"
The person had to walk across the balance beam by himself, and Wang Zhi couldn't help, so he was extremely anxious.
The little girl sat on the mat and looked at her cousin, sniffing twice.
“…It doesn’t hurt.”
