[Firefly Forest] Please hold me tight

The next day I got up very early, it seemed that it was because of the bed, I didn't dream last night, I didn't dream of him.

In the past few years, I don't know how many nights I have dreamed about him.

After breakfast, Yiko took me to the Forest of the Mountain God. I haven’t set foot on this land for many years, but the Forest of the Mountain God doesn’t seem to have changed much, except that it is a little more deserted than before.

The shrine on the mountain is still there, but the man who would sit in front of the shrine and wait for me will never see me again.

"firefly!"

Yiko stood in front of the shrine and waved to me. I looked at her and smiled lightly, feeling an inexplicable bitterness in my heart, and I couldn't help but think of things that happened a long time ago.

A long time ago, Gin stood in front of the shrine wearing that fox mask, holding a wooden stick, waiting for me to grasp the other end of the stick.

A small wooden stick that keeps the two of us together.

Yin led me through every part of the mountains and forests, in those summer days.

At that time, I occasionally encountered a few monsters, either gentle or terrifying, but none of them were malicious, and they would all say:

"Hey! Human child, don't touch Ah Yin, or he will disappear."

It disappears as soon as you touch it, isn't that the same as snow?

But my Ah Yin is just like snow, it will disappear when touched by human beings, so, later I said to Yin:

"No matter what happens, don't touch me!"

......

Always like this, I will suddenly think of the past and think of him.

"Firefly, although I have often come to grandma's house these years, this is the first time I have come to the Forest of the Mountain God! I didn't expect it to be so beautiful inside, so luckily I brought my camera."

"Firefly, are you afraid? I heard from grandma and some old people that there are monsters in the forest of mountain gods!"

"firefly......"

Yizi kept nagging beside me, taking pictures with a camera.

"Yiko, do you believe that there are monsters in this world?"

"monster?"

Yizi frowned, and became excited the next second.

"Of course I believe it! It's a pity that I have never seen it before, but I really hope to see it!"

Yizi took my arm, and the sudden touch made me stiff for a moment, but Yizi didn't notice it, because she let go of it as soon as she put it on.

"Hey, something ran over just now!" Yiko let go of my arm, and immediately ran to the bushes to look around.

"Maybe it's a small animal." I chuckled, I'm already a college student, so I still have a child's heart, but I was also aroused a little bit of interest, so I couldn't help but approach Yizi.

I don't know, could it be those monsters.

"See what it is?"

"The white one, uh, looks like a bunny! Ah! Firefly, do you think it's a Totoro!?"

Yizi's face was full of excitement, and the next moment she excitedly chased after the "My Neighbor Totoro".

"Hey! Wait! Yiko wait for me!"

Seeing Yizi running forward, I couldn't call her, and I had no choice but to chase after her.

......

Running, chasing, in the forest of mountain gods.

Thinking of those dreams, my heart felt a little chilly, and the next moment, Yizi's figure gradually faded away, and I couldn't catch up.

"Yiko! Yiko!"

I shouted louder, but Yiko in front of me didn't stay for a moment, just disappeared in front of my eyes.

I had a secret thought in my heart. It seems that I have really encountered a monster. I hope that what I encounter is not a bad monster.

Stopping to look at the unfamiliar environment around me, I couldn't help but think of what my grandfather said to the villagers many years ago.

"This is the forest where the mountain gods and monsters live. Once you enter your mind, you will be confused and you will never be able to return home."

But I don't believe it!

"Is anyone there?" I yelled as I walked, but the surrounding area was as quiet as death, not even the sound of the wind.

I am a little worried about Yizi, she is a child.

"Mr. Monster? Is that you?"

After walking for a while, it was still quiet, and I started to panic.

Suddenly there was a rustling sound of leaves behind me, I was startled and turned my head immediately.

Nobody.

"Humans, don't you know that you can't run wild in this forest?"

The clear voice seemed to come from a distance, but I couldn't help but look up, and I saw a person on the big tree, under the cover of dense leaves.

"Oh, it was discovered."

The man smiled slightly and jumped down from the tree.

When I saw the person in front of me, I was dumbfounded.

He was dressed in a blue kimono, with long silver hair reaching his waist, and wearing a fox mask.

"silver."

Somehow, the word just came out of my mouth.

Obviously they don't look alike at all, obviously...Silver has disappeared.

"Silver? How do you know my name?"

The man approached me, then reached out, ready to pinch my jaw.

"Human, tell me."

"Do not touch me!"

I ran away in panic, my mind was in chaos, Yin had disappeared, but this person said that Yin was his name, who is he?Will it be...silver?

The picture of when the silver dissipated appeared in front of my eyes, and I felt a dull pain in my heart. I tightly covered my heart with my hands, and murmured to myself with tears.

"Don't touch me...will disappear...no matter what happens, don't touch me..."

The man was taken aback, retracted his hand, and laughed when he heard my words.

"Hahaha, do you think you are a snowflake? It will disappear as soon as you touch it."

I raised my head and looked at him fixedly, perhaps because there were tears in his eyes, he stopped laughing and looked at me blankly.

"You...were crying?" His tone became a little apologetic. "I didn't bully you, why are you crying?"

I didn't answer him, why are you crying?

There was silence between the two of us for a while, and I quietly watched him speak.

"Do you know me?"

"Should we...should know each other?"

His answer was as far as I expected, but when he said that he didn't know me, I still felt a little disappointed in my heart.

"I'm sorry, I mistook someone, you look like a friend of mine, are you a monster?"

"Yes, I am a monster, aren't you afraid?"

I shook my head and smiled at him.

"Of course I'm not afraid. I've seen monsters in this forest when I was a child, and we're still good friends."

"Friend? Is the monster friend you are talking about the monster who looks like me?"

"Well, actually, if you look closely, you don't look very much like him." Smiling, I told the truth. "By the way, I got separated from my friend in this forest, can you help me find him?"

"Are you asking a monster for help? Why don't you ask your monster friend for help." He said slightly.

"Can't we ask monsters for help?" Regarding his last question, I chose not to talk about it.

"A little girl who is not afraid of monsters is interesting! If that's the case, then I'll take you to find your companion, don't get lost behind!"

Saying so, he walked past me.

"Yeah!" I laughed and followed behind him.

But he stopped after taking a step, and I was unprepared for a while, so I slammed into his back.

Suddenly my heart felt cold, and the picture of silver dissipating appeared in my mind.

Surprisingly, someone grabbed his shoulders.

"Humans! They are just stupid, they can't even walk."

His tone was extremely disgusting, I looked up to thank him, but the next second my face was covered with something.
