"Forget it, let's not think about that for now. Let's keep going forward." Someone suggested.
After walking for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the group came upon a clearing in the forest. It seemed to be the actual entrance to the main forested valley, where there were several large tree stumps with some bamboo tubes placed on top, containing what appeared to be a clear liquid.
Some small, adorable spiritual objects gradually poked their heads out. They all looked very cute—some pure white squirrels, red-furred rabbits, green hedgehogs, and even golden cats. They were all small, but looked extremely adorable, making people want to reach out and touch them. They seemed to sense that no one had any malice, so they gathered courage, climbed onto the tree stumps, and beckoned to the crowd, seemingly inviting them to drink the water.
"Are they inviting us to drink it?"
"It does feel a bit like being invited by a host to drink tea," someone laughed.
