Siheyuan: The Temptation of the Mountains

Lin Ze pulled Xiaoxue into the river without hesitation, hoping to use the current to escape the tiger's pursuit.

The river was freezing cold and the current was swift, but they had no other choice. Lin Ze swam hard to the other side, with Xiao Xue following closely beside him.

Just as he was about to reach the other side, Lin Ze suddenly felt a huge force pulling his feet. He looked down and saw that the tiger had also jumped into the river and was biting his trouser leg tightly.

Lin Ze struggled, trying to break free from the tiger's restraints, but the tiger was too strong. At this moment, Xiaoxue took out a dagger from her waist and stabbed the tiger's eyes fiercely.

The tiger loosened its mouth in pain, and Lin Ze took the opportunity to break free and climbed ashore with Xiaoxue.

They didn't have time to rest and continued to run desperately, and finally escaped from the tiger's pursuit.

Lin Ze and Xiao Xue leaned against a tree, panting. They looked back and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the tiger had not chased them.

"It was a close call just now." Lin Ze said with lingering fear.

Xiaoxue nodded, her face pale, her eyes full of fear and exhaustion.

"We have to find a safe place to rest quickly." Lin Ze said, standing up.

The two supported each other and continued to move forward. They walked into a dense forest, hoping to find a place to hide.

As they were walking, Xiaoxue suddenly stopped, pointed ahead and said, "Look, there is a cave over there."

Lin Ze looked in the direction of her finger and saw a cave entrance. They walked into the cave carefully and found that it was spacious enough for them to take shelter for a while.

"It looks like this is a good place to stay." Lin Ze said, and found a clean place in the cave for Xiaoxue to sit down and rest.

Next, they have to think about how to get out of the forest and return to the civilized world.

After taking a short rest in the cave, Lin Ze and Xiao Xue began to discuss their next plan.

"We can't stay here forever, we must find a way out." Lin Ze said seriously.

Xiaoxue nodded vigorously to show her agreement. "Yes, but this forest is so big, how can we find the exit?" She asked with a frown.

Lin Ze pondered for a moment, then said with a firm look, "I remember the direction we came from. As long as we keep going in that direction, we should be able to get out of the forest."

"But we may encounter other dangers on the road." Xiaoxue said worriedly, her face full of worry.

Lin Ze patted Xiaoxue's shoulder gently and comforted her softly: "Don't worry, I will protect you." His eyes were full of determination and responsibility.

So, the two decided to set out early the next morning. That night, they spent an uneasy night in the cave. Strange noises came from outside the cave from time to time, making it difficult for them to fall asleep. However, they knew that only by bravely facing difficulties could they find their way home.

The next morning, sunlight shone into the cave through the gaps in the leaves, illuminating the faces of Lin Ze and Xiao Xue.

With a little nervousness and anticipation, they packed their luggage and set out on their journey home.

Along the way, they moved forward cautiously and remained vigilant at all times.

Although the road was difficult, they supported each other and moved forward step by step.

As they walked, they came to a stream, and Lin Ze suggested taking a break and replenishing some water.

Xiaoxue readily agreed, and the two walked to the stream and bent down to drink water.

Suddenly, ripples appeared in the stream and a huge figure slowly emerged from the water.

Lin Ze and Xiao Xue were startled and quickly stepped back. When they looked closely, they saw a huge python spitting out its tongue and staring at them.

Lin Ze instinctively blocked Xiaoxue behind him, picked up a stone and prepared to deal with the python's attack.

The python seemed to feel threatened. It quickly opened its bloody mouth and pounced towards Lin Ze.

At this critical moment, Lin Ze threw the stone in his hand without hesitation, hitting the python's head.

The python felt pain and temporarily stopped attacking.

Lin Ze took the opportunity to pull Xiaoxue to the side, looking for a place to hide.

They found a big tree not far away with low branches that they could climb up to take shelter.

So they climbed up the tree desperately and finally got rid of the python's pursuit.

At the top of the mountain, Lin Ze and Xiao Xue were panting and looking at the python below with lingering fear.

"That was a close call..." Xiaoxue murmured to herself. Lin Ze nodded and comforted her, saying, "Don't be afraid, we will definitely find a way out and leave here."

Lin Ze and Xiao Xue observed from the tree for a while, and after making sure that the python would not catch up with them again, they took a rest.

They discussed their next journey and decided to follow the direction of the stream, hoping to find another way out.

After a short rest, they continued on their journey.

Along the way, they were more cautious and paid attention to the movements around them.

Gradually, they found that the terrain began to become familiar, and it seemed that they were getting closer and closer to the exit.

Finally, they saw the light ahead, which was the passage to the outside world.

The two of them quickened their pace excitedly, and the moment they stepped out of the cave, feeling the warm sunshine and fresh air, their hearts were filled with emotion.

This magical experience made Lin Ze and Xiao Xue cherish each other more, and also made them understand that as long as they face difficulties bravely, they will be able to find their own way home.

Lin Ze and Xiao Xue walked out of the cave and returned to the real world. They looked back at the mysterious cave, their hearts filled with emotion.

"This adventure is so exciting!" Xiaoxue said with a smile.

"Yes, but it also made me realize that every experience in life is a precious asset," Lin Ze responded.

They held hands and set out on the road home together. On the way, Xiaoxue curiously asked Lin Ze: "Will there be such an adventure in the future?"

Lin Ze smiled and said, "Maybe, but no matter what happens, I will always be by your side."

After hearing this, Xiaoxue's face was filled with a happy smile.

As time went by, Lin Ze and Xiao Xue's life returned to normal. However, whenever they recalled that wonderful adventure, a warm power always surged in their hearts, inspiring them to move forward courageously and meet the challenges of the future.

One day, Lin Ze and Xiao Xue were walking in the park when it suddenly started to rain heavily. They hurried to a nearby pavilion to take shelter from the rain.

At this moment, a flash of lightning streaked across the sky, and a big tree next to the pavilion fell down.

Lin Ze quickly pulled Xiaoxue aside to avoid being hit. "Fortunately you reacted quickly!" Xiaoxue said with lingering fear.

Lin Ze smiled and comforted them, "Don't worry, I'm here." Just then, they discovered a mysterious tree hole on the tree trunk, emitting a strange light.
