The little star from the Gobi Desert, handed over to the state, is hailed as a national treasure.

After climbing for a while, there was still a long way to go up the cliff. The old monkey seemed to be a little too heavy to carry Tian Tian, ​​so he used his two paws to support Tian Tian's bottom and lifted her up so that Tian Tian's hands could reach a higher crevice!

"Squeak!"

The old monkey told her, "Don't give up, let's keep climbing."

With the old monkey's great help, Sweetie seemed to have been injected with courage again. She nodded and gripped the stone tightly.

Her delicate little hands were scratched by the sharp rocks, leaving tiny bloody marks. Her fingertips stung, but she couldn't give up.

Sweetie, be brave!

Sweetie must climb up to find her dad!

Moreover, the old monkey was now supporting her, saving her a lot of energy. It was like a moving "living rock," hanging steadily on the rock face, doing its best to help her.

Sweet tears streamed down her face again.

"Grandpa Monkey, Sweetie will definitely work hard!" the little girl announced loudly.

The old monkey didn't make a sound, but simply lifted her up with all its might, urging her to keep climbing.

They climbed for a while longer, and the old monkey was nearing its limit. Sweetie could feel its breathing becoming heavy, and its paws trembling.

She looked down and saw that the old monkey's face was covered in sweat, its fur soaked through and stuck to its face.

"Grandpa Monkey, are you tired? Let's take a break..."

The old monkey shook its head, wanting to persist a little longer.

Just then, a strong mountain wind swept by, and Tian Tian's little body swayed in the wind, almost falling down!

At the critical moment, the old monkey pounced, its two front paws gripping her waist tightly. At the same time, its long tail hooked onto a vine, and using the momentum of the swing, it carried her up to a protruding branch next to it.

The branch wasn't thick. The old monkey had just put Tian Tian on it and hadn't even had time to climb up properly when the branch snapped with a crack, and the front section suddenly broke off!

The old monkey lost its grip and plummeted straight down!

"Grandpa Monkey—!!!"

Sweetie screamed, her little face turning pale with fright!

She instinctively reached out to grab it, but she was sitting on a swaying branch, and the branch was shaking so badly that it almost threw her off.

But how could she just watch Grandpa Monkey fall down? Sweetie clenched her little fists, steeled her heart, and decided to jump down to save the old monkey.

"squeak--"

A familiar cry suddenly rang out, and Sweetie's eyes widened. She saw the old monkey's body, as it fell, suddenly reach out a claw to grab a vine beside it, swing up, and nimbly land on a rock wall.

"Squeak!" At the critical moment, it was its instinct as a clever monkey that saved it. But even so, after lifting Sweetie, the old monkey had lost most of its strength and was panting heavily while gripping the rock wall.

"Grandpa Monkey! I'm so glad you're alright!" Sweetie cheered with joy at surviving the ordeal.

But with this movement, the withered branches beneath her shook violently again, frightening her so much that she immediately closed her eyes and dared not move at all.

What frightened her even more was that she was now riding on a tree branch in mid-air, and the branch couldn't support her weight at all; even the other monkeys couldn't catch her.

What should we do?

Just as Tian Tian was completely at a loss, she suddenly heard a rustling sound from beneath her feet.

Sweetie opened her eyes tremblingly, and the sight before her made her heart beat even faster.

Two giant pythons had appeared on the rock face sometime during the night. One of them was covered in golden and light brown stripes, and its head was larger than any ball she had ever seen.

"Big... big snake..."

She murmured sweetly.

This giant python was the very snake he had just treated not long ago!

The python not only climbed up the rock wall by itself, but also brought another python that was about the same thickness as it. However, this python had pale yellow markings and looked a bit thinner than the golden python.

Their bodies clung tightly to the rocks, and from a distance, they looked like two living, thick ropes.

When the old monkey saw the golden python, it squeaked twice and pointed at Tian Tian, ​​as if it were talking to it.

The golden python flicked its tongue but did not move forward, presumably because its wounds had not yet healed, so it brought another python to help.

Another python, following instructions, slowly crawled over, extending its head and body to Sweetie's feet.

But Sweetie was still a little scared. After all, this big creature, with its large head sticking out and its long tongue sticking out, was a bit frightening no matter how you looked at it.

"Grandpa Monkey..."

Sweetie looked at the old monkey helplessly.

The old monkey understood her worries, nodded to her, and pointed to the golden snake, the meaning was clear: Don't be afraid, it's here to help you.

Even the golden python below shook its thick head, as if responding to the old monkey's words.

The large python, which had approached, lowered its head further, its entire neck close to the branch. This suspended position was also uncomfortable for it, but it still persevered and waited for Sweetie to climb up.

Now that things had come to this, Sweetie had no way out. The little girl clenched her fists and kept encouraging herself, "Sweetie, don't be afraid, Sweetie, don't be afraid..."

She suddenly closed her eyes, stretched out her little arms, and lunged at the giant python.

With a "hiss," the little girl landed on the python's back. The snake's skin was tough and cold, with almost nothing to hold onto. Sweetie's palm slipped, and she almost slid off.

"ah--!!"

Sweetie couldn't help but scream.

Just then, a gray figure darted up from below like lightning. In a few leaps, it reached the python, grabbed Sweetie's collar with its claws, and placed her steadily on the python's back.

Then, it leaped forward and landed on a nearby rock, grabbing a protrusion with one paw and hooking its tail into the grass in a crevice to steady itself.

It was the big monkey that had protected her before.

Sweetie finally managed to climb onto the python's back, her little hands tightly gripping its thick body, trembling with fear as cold sweat broke out all over her body. Fortunately, the python had already pressed its body against the rock wall and begun to climb up the mountain.

The big monkey from before was also following closely behind, carefully protecting Sweetie.

And so, the python carried Tian Tian on its back and slowly climbed up. Its climbing method was different from that of the old monkey; it relied on the strength of its abdomen to move its body up segment by segment.

Sweetie lay on its back, hugging its cool, smooth body, and finally managed to catch her breath.

The python climbed for a while and then stopped at a particularly steep spot, seemingly looking for a way out.

The large monkey leaped up from the side, climbed onto a protruding rock, and squeaked twice at the snake. The snake understood, turned a corner, and continued moving in the direction indicated by the monkey.

Sweetie understood; the monkey and the snake were working together to help her.

One of them was responsible for scouting the way, and the other for carrying her. Both of them were using their strength to help this little girl who did not belong to their kind.

Sweetie's heart softened with a bittersweet feeling. She buried her face in the python's cool back and whispered, "Big snake, thank you."
