A Meng handed me the sheepskin and the stone. I took the sheepskin and the stone, examining them carefully. The sheepskin was very soft and smooth, adorned with some symbols and lines whose meanings I did not understand. The stone, on the other hand, was beautiful, entirely emerald green, crystal clear, and emitted a green glow.
"This stone glows," I said in surprise.
"Really?" A-Dai leaned in to ask.
"Yes, look." I held the stone up.
"Wow, it really does! How can this stone glow?" A-Dai asked curiously.
"I don't know either," I shook my head.
"Who cares? It's pretty anyway; let's keep it," A Meng said.
"Yeah, sounds good," I nodded in agreement.
They placed the bird eggs along with the sheepskin and stone into a bag, then slung the bag over their shoulders and continued walking forward. They walked along the cliff for about half an hour before finally reaching the end. There was no path ahead.
"What now? There's no way forward," A-Dai asked.
"We have no choice but to turn back," I said helplessly.
"But we haven't eaten those wild fruits yet," A Meng lamented.
"It's okay; we'll have another chance to come back," I patted A Meng on the shoulder.
"Alright then," A Meng nodded reluctantly.
They retraced their steps and arrived at the entrance of the Stone Oven Kingdom.
"Finally back," A-Dai said happily.
That evening, I took out today's spoils. He carefully placed the bird eggs into a stone basin and then laid the sheepskin mat on the stone table. After that, he sat down beside the stone table and took out the Emerald, playing with it in his hands.
Under the illumination of the light, the Emerald shone even more brilliantly, sparkling with an enchanting glow.
Even more astonishingly, the green light of the Emerald made the light in the cave appear much dimmer.
As I touched the Emerald, a refreshing coolness enveloped me, and the fatigue of the day seemed to dissipate.
He sighed and placed the Emerald on the stone table, preparing to rest.
Suddenly, he noticed something unusual about the sheepskin mat on the table.
"Hey? Why are there all sorts of symbols drawn on this sheepskin mat?" I asked in confusion.
He picked up the sheepskin mat and examined it closely.
To his surprise, the mat was marked with mountains, rivers, cities, trees, caves, and so on, along with connections between various points marked with large symbols of Xiao Xiao.
"Could this be a map?" I exclaimed in astonishment.
He carefully studied the map and discovered it labeled Dwarffoot Kingdom, Futu River, Surrounding Mountains, Tiantai Mountain, Long-Eared Kingdom, Transforming Dragon Pool, and more.
"Dwarffoot Kingdom? Is that one of the countries around Stone Oven Kingdom? But what are Futu River, Surrounding Mountains, Tiantai Mountain, Long-Eared Kingdom, Transforming Dragon Pool, and so on?" I murmured to myself.
Following the connections on the map, he noticed that the final destination was prominently marked as Illusion Dream Plateau.
"Illusion Dream Plateau? What kind of place is that? Why have I never heard of it before?" I wondered aloud.
He furrowed his brow and continued to examine the map, hoping to find some clues.
However, after thoroughly inspecting the entire map, he found no explanations or notes beyond some markings.
"Sigh, this is really strange," I said with a sigh.
He set down the map and fell into deep thought.
Outside the cave, the moonlight was bright; a full moon hung in the sky, casting its pure light upon the earth and illuminating the entire Stone Oven Kingdom.
I stepped outside the cave to admire the beautiful moonlight, which inevitably stirred feelings of homesickness within me.
