Since they were planning to go to the mountains, they couldn't wait until the afternoon and set off immediately. They took the shoulder pole from home with them. Since they didn't have a hatchet, they decided to borrow one from the team leader's house.
Wenwen held Xiao Jiaolan's hand, and they walked and played. Xiao Jiaolan was very curious about everything in front of her. Wenwen asked Yu Xunting to borrow an axe first.
After watching Yu Xunting and Wen Xiao leave, Wen Wen felt that Wen Xiao was acting mysterious and ignored them.
Maybe it was an illusion, she felt that Xiao Jiaolan's condition had improved. Now she would occasionally respond when her name was called, and her eyes didn't seem so dull.
Many children in the village looked at them curiously, wanting to say hello to them, but were too shy to know how.
Because Lanlan's condition was not suitable for making friends, she did not stop and just smiled at the children.

"The captain said we can't go too deep, and there's plenty of firewood right at the foot of the mountain.
"Then chop the firewood first, then go into the mountains and take a look," Yu Xunting said, "You and Lanlan stay beside us and don't go far."
Wenwen was carrying a basket, and a thick layer of yellow leaves had fallen on the mountain.
Before they knew it, the two of them had walked away.
