That was then.

At the top of the tree, her eyes met a snake fluttering his tongue. It was so big that she thought he could swallow her in one bite. For a long time, Yeon-hee hated snakes.

“Ugh. There was a snake.”

Yeon-hee, who immediately climbed down the tree, made a crying face .

“Where should I go?”

It was difficult to find a place to rest because it was an unfamiliar mountain. Besides, the place she barely found already had an owner.

She almost died after being hit by a distracted bear’s front paw. Then she saw a glowing light on the top of the mountain.

“There’s a light at the top of the mountain.”

There were only three lights. The sun that illuminates the world, the goblin fire that illuminates the graveyard, and the fire created by humans.

This tale narrates accounts of encountering goblin fire, the phenomenon of glimmering light or tall blue flames, which can cause fainting.

“It must be a man-made fire.”

Yeon-hee, who squeezed out all the remaining strength, climbed the cliff And started to climb

“By the way, why do humans live in this place?”

Her nails were broken and there were scratches on their faces, but the thought of being chased by a wild dog again made her legs stiff.

No matter how hard it was, she couldn’t get down the road.

“Huh, huh.”

‘How high did it go?’

When they climbed to the end of the cliff, there was really only one house.

“What? It’s really home.”

Yeon-hee, with surprised eyes, looked around.

There was a large willow tree in front of the house and a small spring beside it. The full moon was shining brightly in the spring. Yeon-hee crawled on her knees and dipped her face in the spring. After gulping down the water, she crouched down.

“A place this high would be safe.”
