The Second World in Ancient Times

Chapter 9: The Beginning of Friendship, the Years of Innocence

On a sunny day, Si Qing and a few friends met up on a meadow in the suburbs. The meadow was filled with colorful flowers, and the breeze carried their fragrance. Si Qing and her friends ran and played on the grass, their laughter filling the air. They chased butterflies, picked flowers, and thoroughly enjoyed the beauty of nature.

Tired of playing, they lay on the grass, looked up at the blue sky and white clouds, and started chatting. One of the children said, "I heard there's a mysterious mountain far away with many magical animals and beautiful scenery. When can we go there to see it?"

Another friend said excitedly, "Really? Then we must go and see. Maybe we can find treasure!" Si Qing listened to her friends' discussion, her heart filled with longing. She imagined the mysterious mountain and the wonderful scenery on it, and couldn't help but smile brightly.

Since then, Si Qing and his friends have often discussed the mysterious mountain, longing to one day explore it together. In the process, their friendship has grown stronger. They share their dreams and aspirations, lend a hand when each other encounters difficulties, and work together to achieve their common goals.

One day, Si Qing and his friends decided to embark on an adventure to find the mysterious mountain. They packed their bags, took some food and water, and set off with great anticipation. Along the way, they encountered many difficulties and challenges.

Their first challenge was to cross a dense forest. The trees were so dense and lush that sunlight barely penetrated. Si Qing and her friends tread cautiously, fearing danger. Suddenly, a ferocious beast burst out of the woods and lunged towards them. The friends screamed in fear and fled in all directions. Although Si Qing was also frightened, she knew not to panic. She calmly observed the beast's movements and discovered its weak spot was its eyes.

So she picked up a stone and threw it at the beast's eyes. The beast roared in pain and ran away. Seeing Si Qing's bravery, her friends were all impressed by her. They gathered together and continued on their journey.

After leaving the forest, they came to a wide river. The river was rushing, and there was no bridge to cross. The children began to worry about what to do. Si Qing thought for a moment and said, "We can find some branches and vines and make a simple raft. That way we can cross the river."

The friends thought this was a good idea, and they all got to work. They gathered enough branches and vines, and spent a long time crafting a crude raft. Si Qing and his friends carefully boarded the raft, using branches as oars as they slowly paddled to the other side. Several times, the raft nearly got swept away, but they worked together and eventually reached the other side.

After an arduous journey, Si Qing and his friends finally saw the mysterious mountain. Shrouded in mist, it resembled a fairyland. They excitedly ran up the mountain, expecting to see magical animals and beautiful scenery. However, when they reached the mountain, they discovered it wasn't as beautiful as they had imagined.

The path on the mountain was very steep and difficult to walk on. Furthermore, they encountered some strange phenomena, such as sudden fog and strange noises. The children began to feel scared, and some even wanted to give up.

Si Qing encouraged everyone, saying, "We've come this far. We can't give up just like that. We must bravely face the difficulties and believe that we will find the treasure." With Si Qing's encouragement, the children regained their spirits and continued on their journey. They walked cautiously, always vigilant. Finally, they discovered a mysterious cave in the mountains. A mysterious light emanated from the cave, suggesting it might be hiding a secret.

Si Qing and his friends decided to explore the cave. It was very dark, so they could only grope their way forward. Suddenly, they heard a low roar. Frightened, the friends stopped, afraid to go any further.

Si Qing bravely said, "We can't be afraid. We have to face this together." She picked up a stone and threw it in the direction of the sound. The roaring stopped, and they continued on their way. Deep in the cave, they found some glittering gems and an ancient book. The children cheered excitedly, believing they had found treasure.

However, just as they were about to leave the cave, an accident happened: one of the friends accidentally triggered a mechanism, and the cave exit was sealed.

They were trapped in the cave, unable to escape. The children began to panic, some even crying. Si Qing tried to remain calm and search for an exit. She carefully observed the cave walls and floor, discovering strange symbols and patterns. Recalling similar symbols she had seen in her studies, she began to try to decipher their meaning. After much effort, she finally found a way to open the exit. Led by Si Qing, the children successfully left the cave.

This adventure puts Si Qing and his friends' friendship to a severe test. Faced with difficulties and danger, they experience conflicts and disagreements. Some want to give up, while others act impulsively. But ultimately, through mutual support and help, they overcome the difficulties and find the treasure. This experience makes them cherish their friendship even more and understand the power of unity.

Once, one of Si Qing's friends fell ill. Si Qing was deeply concerned when she found out. She immediately went to visit her friend, bringing some fruit and snacks. The friend lay in bed, looking pale, but a smile lit up when she saw Si Qing. Si Qing sat down by his bedside, gently held his hand, and said, "You must get better soon. We still have something to explore together." The friend nodded and said, "I will definitely get better." With Si Qing's care and concern, his condition gradually improved, and he soon recovered.

As time went by, Si Qing's friendship with her friends continued to grow. They experienced many joys and sorrows together and spent many unforgettable moments together. In this process, Si Qing learned to care for others, understand others, and help others, and her heart became purer and kinder.

Besides playing and exploring together, Siqing and his friends also study together. They gather after school to share learning experiences and help each other solve problems. Sometimes, they even hold small learning competitions to see who has mastered the most knowledge and achieved the best academic results. In this process, they not only improve their learning abilities but also strengthen their friendships.

Once, Si Qing encountered difficulties while learning an ancient poem. She could not understand the meaning of the poem at all and was very distressed. One of her friends saw her like this and came to help her. The friend patiently explained the background of the poem, the author's intention, and the meaning of each line. With the help of her friend, Si Qing finally understood the poem and was filled with gratitude. She said to her friend, "Thank you! If it weren't for you, I might never have understood this poem." The friend smiled and said, "It's okay. We are good friends and it's only natural for us to help each other."

With the nourishment of friendship, Siqing's life has become more colorful. She no longer feels lonely or isolated, because she knows that no matter where she is, she has a group of good friends by her side to support and accompany her. She has also begun to cherish this precious friendship even more and strives to maintain her relationships with her friends.

One day, Si Qing and his friends were playing in a garden when they accidentally damaged a precious flower. The garden's owner was furious and demanded compensation. Si Qing and his friends were terrified and unsure what to do. But instead of blaming each other, they worked together to find a solution.

Finally, they decided to work together to earn money to compensate the garden's owner. They used their spare time to do whatever they could, such as helping with garden cleaning and caring for the animals. After a while, they finally earned enough money to compensate the garden's owner. Seeing their sense of responsibility, the garden's owner forgave them.

Through this incident, Si Qing's friendship with his friends became even stronger. They understood that true friendship is about sticking together through difficulties, never giving up. They also became more determined to remain good friends.

In those innocent years, Si Qing and her friends experienced many wonderful things together. They participated in various festivals, made handicrafts, and shared delicious meals. Every moment was filled with laughter, and every memory was filled with warmth and touching moments. Once, during a traditional festival, Si Qing and her friends crafted beautiful lanterns. They fashioned lanterns of various shapes using colored paper, bamboo strips, and candles, and then, at night, carried them through the streets. The light of the lanterns illuminated their smiling faces and their friendship. They sang as they walked, enjoying this beautiful festival.

However, Si Qing's friendship with her friends wasn't always smooth sailing. As they grew older, conflicts and disagreements arose. One time, while discussing a problem, they disagreed and had a heated argument. Each insisted on their own point of view, refusing to give in. After the argument, everyone was angry and ignored each other. Si Qing was deeply saddened and didn't know how to repair their friendship.

After a period of calm reflection, Si Qing decided to reach out to her friends and reconcile. She approached each of them, sincerely apologized, and admitted her own faults during the argument. She also patiently listened to their thoughts and feelings, striving to understand their perspectives.

Thanks to Si Qing's efforts, the friends gradually realized their mistakes and apologized to Si Qing, expressing their willingness to reconcile. This quarrel made them cherish their friendship even more and also taught them how to better communicate and understand each other.

In this ancient world brimming with challenges and opportunities, the friendship between Si Qing and his companions blossoms like a flower, exuding a captivating fragrance. In each other's company, they pass through innocent years one after another, creating many beautiful memories. They know that no matter what difficulties and challenges the future may bring, their friendship will remain unchanged.

As Si Qing and his friends grow up, their friendship faces challenges. Sometimes, they argue over trivial matters; sometimes, they disagree over their different interests and hobbies. But they never give up on their friendship, and instead strive to find solutions to their problems.

Once, Si Qing and a friend had an argument over a book. They each held their own opinion, neither willing to compromise, and the argument ended in acrimony. Si Qing returned home feeling deeply depressed. She began to reflect on her actions, feeling that she shouldn't have been so impulsive. She recalled the good times she had spent with her friends and their friendship.

So, she decided to apologize to her friend. She approached him and sincerely said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have argued with you. We're good friends, and we should understand and tolerate each other." After hearing Si Qing's words, the friend felt deeply ashamed. He said, "I was wrong, too. I shouldn't have been so stubborn. Let's not argue anymore, okay?" Si Qing nodded, and the two of them hugged each other tightly.

After this argument, Si Qing's friendship with her friends deepened. They understood that friendship requires care, mutual understanding, and tolerance. They cherished their friendship even more, striving to make it last. In those innocent years, Si Qing not only gained precious friendships but also learned many life lessons. She understood the value of friendship, the importance of responsibility, and the meaning of hard work. She also began to think about her future and the kind of person she wanted to be.

One day, Si Qing and her friends were sitting on the grass, watching the sunset. Suddenly, Si Qing asked, "Will we always be good friends?" Her friends all replied in unison, "Of course! We'll always be good friends." Si Qing was deeply moved. Looking at her friends' smiling faces, she secretly resolved to strive to grow, become a valuable person, and create a brighter future for herself and her friends.

In this ancient world full of hope and challenges, the friendship between Si Qing and his friends will continue to shine.
