Suddenly, Uncle Andrew and his study were gone.For a moment, there was no light all around, and at that moment, Digray felt a green and very soft light shining from the direction above him, and it was pitch black below him.It was as if he was neither standing, nor lying, nor sitting on anything, but was surrounded by nothingness and emptiness."
I think I might be in the water, or underwater."
Digray muttered to himself, surprised by the result.However, he immediately felt himself rushing upward.Suddenly, he felt his head touch the air, and found himself having come out, lying on the flat, turquoise grass by the waterhole.He didn't feel like he had come out of the water, because when he stood up, he saw that his clothes were still dry, not wet from the water, and that he wasn't breathing.At this time, he was standing on the edge of a small waterhole less than ten feet wide in the woods.This woods are densely wooded and shade the sky.Only the green light seeped through the leaves, and the green light was bright and warm, so it was clear that the sun must be scorching on the woods.There are no birds, no insects, no animals, no breezes, and you can imagine how quiet the woods are, so quiet that you can even feel the trees growing.There were also quite a few waterholes in the woods like the one he had just come out of them, and at a glance there were one just a few steps away.Digray felt that he could almost feel the trees absorbing water with their roots, and the woods were a scene of life."
It was a lush, green place like a raisin cake."
Later, when Dugray tried to describe it, he said so.The most surprising thing was that Diggray had not had time to look around and almost forgot how he got there.He couldn't remember Polly, Uncle Andrew, or his mother.But he didn't feel a trace of fear, excitement, or curiosity.If someone asks him, "Where are you from?"
he might say, "I've always been here." ”It's the kind of feeling that even though nothing happened, you feel like you've been there all the time, and you've never been bored.As he later put it, "It's a place where nothing happens except the trees that keep growing." ”Dugray noticed that in the woods that he had been gazing at for a long time, a girl was lying under a tree not far from him, her eyes gently closed, as if she were sleeping.He didn't speak, but watched from the side for a long time.But then, she began to speak in the tone that was satisfied with her sleep center."
I look like I've seen you somewhere before."
She said."
As I thought, have you been here for a long time," Dugray said."
yes, I've been staying here, at least I don't know for a long time."
The girl said."
I've been here all the time."
Diggray said."
No, I just saw you coming out of that puddle."
She said."
I think I came out of the pool, but I don't remember exactly."
Digray said in a daze.Then, the two were silent for a long time."
Ah," said the girl suddenly, "I wonder if we have met before, and I suddenly had an idea that there was a picture in my head of a boy and a girl like us, living in a completely different place and doing all sorts of things.Maybe it's just a dream" "I think I've had the same dream as you.A boy and a girl who live next door seem to crawl between the rafters.Moreover, the girl's face in memory is dirty. ”Diggray said."
You remember wrong, I dreamed that the boy's face was dirty.""
I can't remember what the boy's face looked like."
Diggray said, then added, "Hey, what's that?"
and "Wow, it's a guinea pig." ”The girl said.I saw a chubby guinea pig sniffing in the grass.Strangely, the guinea pig had a sparkling yellow ring tied around his waist with a gauze belt."
Look, look," shouted Diggray, "it's the ring, look at the one on your finger, and I have it too." ”The girl finally got interested and quickly sat up.Then they stared at each other for a moment, trying to remember the past.Almost at the same moment, she shouted, "Mr.
Cantley," and he shouted, "Uncle Andrew," and suddenly, both of them knew who they really were, and began to recall the whole thing.After a long and laborious conversation, they came to their senses completely.Later, Dugray recounts how Uncle Andrew was as ruthless as a beast."
So what are we going to do now, do we want to bring the guinea pigs back with us?"
said Polly."
Don't worry."
Diggray let out a long yawn."
I think it's time to be anxious, because it's uncomfortably quiet, like in a dream, there's always a feeling of drowsiness.Once we can't hold on anymore, we will lie down and sleep forever. ”Polly said."
It's good here."
Diggray said."
Yes," said Polly, "but we have to go back." ”Then, she stood up and cautiously walked towards the guinea pig.After taking a few steps, she suddenly changed her mind again."
Leave this guinea pig behind, it's pretty pleasant here, and if we bring it back, your Uncle Andrew will definitely hurt it."
She said."
I'm sure he'll do that, look at how he did to us, oh, how do we go back," Dugray said."
In my opinion, just go back to the pool."
So, they walked to the waterhole and stood there side by side, looking at the calm water.The water is particularly deep because of the reflection of the lush green trees."
But we don't have swimsuits."
Polly said."
No, idiot, have you forgotten that our clothes weren't wet when we came ashore so we could go in with our clothes on."
Diggray said."
Do you know how to swim?"
"A little bit, what about you" "Not very good swimmers." ”"I don't think we need to swim, we just have to sink down," Dugre said.In fact, neither of them was very reluctant to jump into the pool, but neither of them said the idea.So they held hands, shouted "one, two, three, jump," and jumped down together.Suddenly, the water splashed and made them close their eyes tightly, but when they opened their eyes, they found them still standing hand in hand in the green woods, and the water was only up to their ankles.Obviously, the waterhole is only a few inches deep.So they waded back to shore."
What is wrong?"
asked Polly, fearfully, but not as frightened as you think, for no one could have really been frightened in that unusually quiet and peaceful woods."

Oh, I see," said Diggret, "because we're still wearing yellow rings, so of course it's not going to work."
You know, they're only responsible for going out, and the green ones are responsible for going inside.We have to change the ring now.Do you have pockets on you, put the yellow ring in the left pocket.Also, I have two green rings here, and I'll give you one. ”After that, they returned to the waterhole with green rings on.Before he could jump, Digray shouted again, "Oh-oh-ah" and "What's wrong?"
asked Polly."
I have a particularly good idea of what the other waterholes are all about," DiGray said."
What do you mean" "If we can go back by jumping into this pool, then we can go to another place by jumping into other pools, think about it, there may be a world under each pool" "But I think we have reached what your Uncle Andrew calls another world or another place, or something else" "Alas, damn Uncle Andrew, he will not dare come here.I don't believe he knows everything, he just says there's another world, maybe many more," Dugray interrupted."
You mean, this forest may be just one of them" "I think this forest is just a transitional zone, not a world. ”At this point, Polly was confused."
Don't you understand, then listen to me.Think of the tunnels under the stone slabs at home.It's not a room in any house, I mean, it doesn't belong to a certain part of a house.But once you walk down the tunnel, you can walk into any of the rows of houses.Isn't that like this forest, a place that doesn't belong to any world, but if you find the right one, you can reach any world. ”Diggray said."
But, even if you could," Polly began, and Dugree continued, as if she hadn't heard, "of course, then it all makes sense."
That's why it's so quiet and sleepy, because nothing ever happens here.It's like at home, people are talking, doing things, eating in the house, but in the transition zone, behind the walls, on the ceiling, under the floor, or in our tunnels, nothing happens.But once you get out of the tunnel, you find yourself in a house.I don't think we have to, at least not have to jump back into the pool we came from.We can go anywhere from here," he said."
The woods between worlds, it's wonderful."
Polly muttered to herself, like in a dream."
So, which pool are we going to jump into?"
said Diggre."
If you want me to say, let's find out if we can go back to the original waterhole first, and we are not sure if we can go back, otherwise, I will not jump into another waterhole."
Polly said."
Well, it would be too boring to be caught by Uncle Andrew before he even started playing, and then take the ring away."
Diggray said."
Shall we jump back into the waterhole halfway through and see if the Green Ring can take us back, and if we can, we can change the ring before we reach Mr.
Kateley's study, and then we can come back here."
Polly said."
Will this work?"
"Yes, it only took me a little while to come, and I should be able to go back quickly." ”Although Diggray had a problem with this, he finally agreed, because Polly would not agree to explore any other new world that he had never heard of until he knew if he could go back.Although Polly is as brave as he is in the face of danger, for example, in the face of bad guys, she is not interested in exploring new things.However, DeGray is the kind of person who wants to explore everything, and as a result, he grows up to become the famous Professor Kirk featured in several other stories in the series.After some debate, they finally agreed to wear a green ring: "Green means safe, so you can remember the purpose of the different rings anyway." ”That's what Digray said.and hold hands and jump down together.As they were about to arrive at Uncle Andrew's study and return to their own world, Polly shouted "change", and the two quickly took off the green ring and replaced it with the yellow one.Digray wanted to shout "change", but Polly disagreed.When they held hands, put on green rings, and shouted "one, two, three, jump" again, they succeeded.It's hard to describe the feeling to you because it all happened so fast.At first, bright lights could be seen floating in the night sky, and Dugray thought it was a star, and even made a wish on it.Then, he saw Jupiter not far away, and was even able to see its moons very clearly.It wasn't long before rows of chimneys erected on the roofs appeared all around, and when they saw St.
Paul's Cathedral, they knew they were back in London.At this point they can see through the walls inside the house.They saw Uncle Andrew's vague figure become clearer and clearer, as if it was slowly focusing into the center of the two children's gaze.Polly shouted "change" when Uncle Andrew's figure was about to become completely clear, and our world faded away like a dream when they changed rings.Then, the green light became stronger and stronger over their heads.Eventually, they emerged from the pool again and lay on the shore.And the woods are still so lush, bright and quiet.In fact, the whole thing happened in less than a minute."
Look, it's been a success, it's time for us to go on an expedition.Come, find a pool and jump into it, and we'll choose whichever is better," said Dugray."
Stop, aren't we going to make a mark on the edge of this puddle," Polly said.They looked at each other, both realizing that Degree had almost done something that would cause a catastrophe, and both turned pale with fear.Because there are so many similar-looking waterholes in the woods, and the trees around them are identical, if they leave this waterhole that can return to our world without leaving any mark, then they have only a 1 percent chance of finding it again.With a trembling hand, Dugray opened the pencil sharpener and cut a long piece of turf at the edge of the waterhole, the dirt was dark reddish-brown and gave off a peculiar fragrance that was very striking in the green turf."
Look, luckily some of us thought of that."
Polly said."
Alright, stop talking big.""
Come on," said Diggray, "I'd like to see what's in the other pools." ”Polly replied harshly, and Diggray replied with a few harsh words.They have been arguing like this for a while, but it is tedious to write it down, so let's put it aside and leave it alone.Next, they put on their yellow rings, held hands and stood very carefully on the edge of the pool, their hearts fluttering, and shouted again: "One, two, three, jump" and surprisingly, they failed again.This waterhole seems to be just a small puddle.They hadn't made it to the new world, and this was the second time they had gotten their feet wet that morning, and their legs were splashed with water, but even in the morning, time seemed to never change in the woods between worlds."
Oh no, what the hell is wrong, we wear yellow rings, Uncle Andrew said the yellow rings can help us get outside."
Dugray exclaimed.In fact, Uncle Andrew didn't know much about the woods between the worlds, and he was wrong about the ring.In fact, the ring of "leaving" is not a yellow ring, and the ring of "returning" is not a green ring, at least, it is not what he thinks.Both rings are made from this forest.There is a "pulling power" in the materials that make up the Yellow Ring, which can lead you to the woods, but in fact, the materials themselves want to return to their homeland, that is, the middle ground.But the materials that make up the Green Ring have a kind of "centrifugal power" that wants to get out of the country and take you out of the woods.See, Uncle Andrew is like that, he didn't even fully understand what he was doing.Of course, Dugray didn't quite figure it out, or rather, didn't understand it until later.Eventually, after some discussion, Degree and Polly decided to put on the green ring and jump in and give it a try to see what would happen."
If you go, I'll go."
Polly said.At this time, she was extremely convinced that no matter what kind of ring it was, it would not work in the new pool, at most it would only make another splash, and there was nothing to be afraid of, so she said so.But no matter what, they still wore green rings and stood by the water's edge holding hands.At this moment, they were full of fun and excited, and they were not at all serious as they were the first time."
One, two, three, jump," Dugray shouted.i0t1706231537:
