Leaving the Mountains

"Meow! Meow! Meow!" The mother in the delivery room next door came in through the baby monitor.

Famous was very tired, both physically and mentally. It woke up when Zhang Zian left in the middle of the night, and it had planned to wait for him, but after a while, it fell asleep.

Famous felt like it had just shut its eyes when Galaxy started making noises. "Meow! Meow!"

"Galaxy, they're meowing because they're in labor. Why are you meowing?"

"Famous, are you talking in your sleep? It's time to wake up, we need to get going as soon as possible. It's getting late."

Famous opened its eyes, confused. It was the middle of the night, where did they have to be? Next door to help with the delivery? It was a dog, how could it help a cat in labor?

The sun rose from the east, and since it was blocked by the mountains, the sunlight hadn't yet to made its way into the valley.

It looked like it rained last night, as the green striped stones at the entrance of the temple were wet.
