Seven Strings in Dreams

Wu Na: "Yixi, are you afraid here by yourself?"

Yixi: “Not afraid”

Meng Xianyu: "What if someone finds Yixi?"

Yeshe: "Yeshe won't tell them"

Wu Na: "Do you want to take Yixi with you?"

Meng Xianyu: "If Yeshi is discovered staying here, even if Yeshi doesn't say anything, people will still be suspicious. If we take Yeshi with us, we won't have to think so much."

Wu Na: "But even if they saw Yixi and thought of the two of us crawling over, they probably wouldn't risk going over there!"

Meng Xianyu: "I don't want to give them any more. Besides, they have tasted the sweetness now, so they may not be able to make anything. We are still five portions short of completing the task. Even if Liya and Aunt Wulan are lucky enough to get two portions, we still need to get three portions."

Wu Na: "Don't be angry with Liya for what happened just now."

Meng Xianyu: "Now is not the time to get angry. Let's climb up first and see if there is a place to stay. If the place is big enough and there are a lot of seafood, we will take Yixi over. At worst, we can stop while we are ahead and come back quickly. If it is dangerous inside, one of us will go and the other will stay to support. In this way, even if other people see us, we can react flexibly and say that you and I are acting separately! How do you think?"

Wu Na: "Yixi, do you want to stay here and wait for your sisters, or do you want to go inside and take a look?"

Yeshi: "Yeshi is not afraid, Yeshi wants to go and see it too!"

Wu Na: "Yixi, you are my only brother. I have the responsibility to protect you. So, if you want to go in with us, you must be obedient."

Yixi: “Okay”

Wu Na: "Now my sister and sister Xianyu are going to climb up to see what's going on inside. You wait down below. If you see anyone else coming, tell me or sister Xianyu quietly, okay?"

Yixi: “Yeah.”

Wu Na pulled Yixi, and Meng Xianyu picked up Yixi's fish basket.

Meng Xianyu: "Put the fish basket here! Yixi, you stand here."

Wu Na: "The fish basket is ready. Do you want to step on it and try it out? I've also brought a stone over so you can step on it and climb onto the fish basket."

Meng Xianyu: "Great! I'll try it first."

Wu Na: “Be careful.”

Meng Xianyu climbed up nimbly. Meng Xianyu was secretly delighted. This body is quite good. It can be seen that he exercises regularly and recovers quickly from injuries.

Wu Na: "How is it? Can you stand steadily?"

Meng Xianyu: "Okay, but it's not high enough! I'll try to climb up, you hold the fish basket"

Wu Na: "Do you want me to go up too?"

Meng Xianyu: "No, this fish basket may not be able to withstand two people"

Wu Na: "Then bring the rope with you."

Meng Xianyu: “Okay”

Meng Xianyu reached out to take the rope and tied it around her waist.

Wu Na: "Be careful!"

Meng Xianyu found a few footholds and used them to climb up, leaving only her head exposed so that she could just see the situation inside the reef.

But Meng Xianyu was not a local after all. She saw that there were many good things inside, including crabs. Meng Xianyu liked to eat this, but it was not easy to deal with. Meng Xianyu struggled to climb up the reef.

Wu Na: "Be careful, watch your step. Squat down first, don't stand up, be careful not to fall!"

Meng Xianyu: "Got it!"

Yixi: "Sister, are there any fish in it?"

Meng Xianyu: "Yes, there are a lot. Wu Na, come up and take a look. I think it's not good."

Wu Na: "Yixi, help me hold the fish basket"

Yixi: “Okay”

Wu Na often went up the mountain to collect herbs, and she was quite good at stretching her hands. Meng Xianyu wanted to throw the rope to Wu Na, but Wu Na refused.

Wu Na: "I can go up. If you pull me, I will fall down. Hold the rope first. It will be useful later!"

Meng Xianyu thought about it and felt that what Wu Na said made sense.

Wu Na was quite skilled, and Meng Xianyu reached out and pulled her up, so she used the force to climb up.

Two people squatting on the reef seemed very crowded, and there were sharp places around them, and they could not move left or right at all.

Meng Xianyu: "Wu Na, look at me, I can't tell either!"

Wu Na looked down and saw that there was actually a small beach and a group of very low rocks a little further away.

Meng Xianyu: "How is it?"

Wu Na: "It should be fine! It's just that it's a little high down here, but we can't get the fish basket over here now! How do we get down?"

Meng Xianyu: "It's easy. I'll tie the rope around my waist, and you hold it first. I'll climb down, and when I feel it's almost time, I'll jump onto the beach."

Wu Na: "Then let me jump first! I'm more familiar with it than you. If that doesn't work, I can still jump into the water!"

Meng Xianyu: "It's better not to jump into the water. I'm worried there may be hidden reefs!"

Wu Na: "Well, you are right. Then jump onto the beach."

Meng Xianyu: "The one who jumps down first will have it relatively easy. The one who stays behind will have to bring the fish basket and the jellyfish over. I'll stay here! You go down first."

Wu Na: "Then I'll go down and take over. You ask Yixi to tie the rope to the fish basket and let him sit in the fish basket with his fish basket."

Meng Xianyu: "We have two fish baskets, bring them over!"

Wu Na: "Then bring a fish basket over here first. I'll jump down and pull the rope from below!"

Meng Xianyu: "Okay, then be careful"

Wu Na: “Give”

Wu Na took out another rope and handed it to Meng Xianyu.

Meng Xianyu: "Why do you still have a rope?"

Wu Na: "No more, just two"

Meng Xianyu: "Go ahead, be careful, don't rush"

Wu Na: “Okay”

This time Wu Na was slower than when she climbed up.

Meng Xianyu tied one end of the rope to the protruding part of the reef and then pulled the rope tight.

Wu Na: “Putting down some ropes”

Meng Xianyu: "You are already in the middle, there is still half the distance to go, please watch your step!"

Wu Na: "How about this height?"

Meng Xianyu: "It's about as tall as a person. I'm so tall, can I go down a little bit?"

Wu Na: "It's a bit difficult, why not just jump down!"

Meng Xianyu: "Then protect your head and jump to the left and back!"

Wu Na: "Let go."

Meng Xianyu: “Okay”

If Meng Xianyu didn't let go, Wu Na would most likely hit the reef when she jumped down because of the rope.

Wu Na took a deep breath, jumped onto the beach, turned a few times, and stopped.

Meng Xianyu: "Wu Na, how is it?"

Wu Na: “It’s okay.”

Wu Na rubbed her shoulders and brushed off the sand on her body.

Wu Na: “Oh!”

Meng Xianyu: "What's the matter?"

Wu Na: "It's okay, I was pinched by a crab..."

Meng Xianyu: "How is it? Is it serious?"

Wu Na: "It's okay, I dodged it, but a piece of my clothes was damaged."

Meng Xianyu: "Catch it! Eat it!"

Wu Na: "I don't have any tools, please ask Yixi to bring the basket and fishing fork over."

Meng Xianyu: "Okay! Observe the terrain first! I'll call you later."

Wu Na: “Okay!”

Meng Xianyu turned around and shouted to Yixi on the other side: "Yixi!"

Yixi: "Sister Xianyu!"

Meng Xianyu: "Yixi, sister will throw the rope down. You tie the rope to the big fish basket. Can you do it?"

Yixi: “Yes”

Meng Xianyu: "First, throw all the fishing forks, fishing nets, small rakes and other tools into the basket!"

Yixi: “Okay!”

Meng Xianyu: "Yixi, throw your fishing basket in there too!"

Yixi was still young. He held the fishing basket and it took him a lot of effort to put it into the big fish basket.

Yixi: "Sister Xianyu, it's done!"

Meng Xianyu: "Yixi, wipe your sweat and take a breath. Sister, throw the rope down!"

Yixi wiped the sweat off his face, his face full of excitement, he could finally help!

Meng Xianyu threw down another rope.

Yixi took one end of the rope, wrapped it around the gap in the fish basket a few times, and then tied a knot.

Meng Xianyu looked at how capable Yixi was and sighed that times had really changed. If it were modern times, children like Yixi would still be in kindergarten, each of them would be a treasure in the palm of their parents' hands, and they would not understand these things.

Meng Xianyu: "Yixi is awesome!"

Yixi: "Sister Xianyu, it's tied up!"

Meng Xianyu: "Okay, move aside a little, be careful not to get bumped into."

Yixi stood aside obediently.

Meng Xianyu didn't tie the rope to the rope this time.

Meng Xianyu threw the other end of the rope to Wu Na's side. Then Meng Xianyu sat on the reef and observed both sides.

Meng Xianyu pulled herself away for a distance and then started calling Wu Na.

Wu Na: “What’s wrong?”

Meng Xianyu: "Wu Na, pull the rope quickly, look up, upper right!"

Wu Na immediately grabbed the rope.

Meng Xianyu: "Wu Na, use more force!"

Wu Na hurriedly exerted force.

Meng Xianyu: "Stop!"

Wu Na: "What happened again?"

Meng Xianyu: "Get out of the way!"

Meng Xianyu was holding a large fish basket and threw it down after seeing Wu Na dodge.

Wu Na: “You…”

Meng Xianyu: "Can you check if it's broken?"

Wu Na: "It should be fine! I can step on it when I go up!"

Meng Xianyu: "I think it's difficult to go up there"

Wu Na: "Where is Yeshi?"

Meng Xianyu: "I was just about to pull him up!"

Wu Na: “Be careful.”

Meng Xianyu: "There is still a large fish basket and Yixi left. Let him sit in it?"

Wu Na: "Then ask him to tie him up with two ropes!"

Meng Xianyu: "Okay, you untied the one just now! Untie this one from the basket."

Wu Na: “Okay”

Wu Na untied the ropes, and Meng Xianyu threw both ropes to Yixi, asking him to tie one rope around his waist and the other rope to the basket, but this time he had to wrap it a few more times than last time.

Then Yeshe sat inside.

Meng Xianyu twisted the two ropes into one and tied them together. She threw the long one to Wu Na first, and the short one slowly went down as Yixi rose.

Wu Na and Meng Xianyu worked together to pull Yixi onto the reef.

Wu Na: "What should we do now?"

We can't just throw Yixi away too.

Meng Xianyu: "Let go slowly and give me the rope. I will let go slowly and send Yixi down!"

Wu Na: "Okay! Slow down!"

Meng Xianyu: "Let's get started!"

The two of them cooperated well and sent Yixi down safely.

Wu Na took Yixi out of the fish basket.

Wu Na: "How is it? Are you scared?"

Yixi shook his head seriously: "Don't be afraid!"

Wu Na: "Yixi, look, there are so many small fish and shrimps over there! Go over there and put them in the fishing basket first!"

Yixi nodded obediently and ran to the side excitedly to catch small fish and shrimps.

Wu Na: "What are you going to do?"

Meng Xianyu: "I'll tie one end of the rope around my waist and the other end to the reef. You stack the two fish baskets together! Hold them steady!"

In this way, Meng Xianyu also arrived at her destination smoothly.
