The two kids got onto their feet. They hadn't gone far when they heard a particularly slight movement behind them. Youyou stopped suddenly and turned back warily, sensing that something was following them.
Gong Fan couldn't help but become vigilant when he saw him looking back. "What's wrong?"
"I heard a strange noise."
"How is that possible?!" Gong Fan turned and looked around. "Why didn't I hear it? Could it be your imagination?"
'Didn't you hear it?'
"Uh huh."
Youyou exhaled. "Maybe it's my imagination. Maybe it's the movement under our feet. I misheard."
He started walking again.
They were in a forest, treading on grassy ground. Under their feet was a patch of grass. Even if they were careful, they'd inevitably make a slight rustling sound.
The boy had only taken a few steps when he heard the strange movement behind him again.
He stopped dead in his tracks.
This time, even Gong Fan heard it.
