After that, Jasmine who stood behind and remained silent for a while suddenly

dropped a tear, saying that:”what my grandpa uesd to say the most is keep

reading and be a useful person to our family.” But now Jasmine’s grandpa’s health

condition had been bad recently, could die in any time. Jasmine really hoped she

could do something for her grandpa. This time, again, the magic statue’s eyes

sparkled. Joe was shocked as the statue spook. “Jasmine, you said you wanted to

save your grandpa, right?” the statue asked. Jasmine looked at Joe with

excitement, and nodded her head as a respond to the statue. “OK, I’ll give you an

opportunity, but you have to help me find something first.”said the statue.

“Sure, anything!”Jasmine responds without hesitation. “There’s a battered hut

behind the basketball court. In it, you will find a map that will guard you to a

mountain top. Up there, you must find my precious thing, and remember, you

only have five hours, by the moment It passes, you will be stuck there forever.”

“Still wants to save your grandpa?” the statue continued. Jasmine hesitates for a while, but still, she accepted it. “Are…are you sure you want to do this?” Joe asked with concerns. “I know your grandpa is in an emergency, but think about it, it has something to do with your future!!”Joe yelled. “Don’t worry, I’m going to be responsible for my decision, you don’t have to come with me” After saying that, Jasmine rushed to the basketball court, and Joe didn’t even have a concern about himself and rushed to catch up with Jasmine, who 1.will be setting out on her journey to save her grandpa. “SLOW DOWN!!!!” yelled Joe. “Didn’t I said you don’t have to come?” Jasmine frowned. “2.Wherever you decide to go, I will accompany you.” “3.There’s no denying that two people is better than one, right?” Joe spook as if he’s a gentleman. “Alright, but we have to hurry, we only have five hours to find the treasure of the statue’s.  

After a while, they reached the battered hut, Jasmine reached out her hand to push the door, but Joe blocked her way and pushed the door himself, suddenly, a musty smell greeting the nose, dust in the air. They carefully walked inside and wandered around, then, Jasmine find a corner with a pile of old, shabby newspapers. One of them was a report of a love story about a couple suffering with various problems and end up committed suicide for love together on the mountain. At the bottom of the newspaper’s report has a sign of a map, it’s the exact place where the couple had committed suicide. It suddenly dawn on Jasmine that the statue had mentioned this place before. With her voice filled with cheerful and excitement, she told Joe that it must be that mountain the statue mentioned, let’s go!!!

4.By the time they arrived, the sun had already rose to the top. And 5.it was not until we were in the middle of the mountain that Joe realized it was the place where Mingder Highschool had listed as a restricted area. But still, Joe plucked up his courage, grabbed Jasmine’s hands, and continued walking forward. Through the way up, we saw tung flower blossoms(油桐花)along the road. Shortly afterward, there’s a legendary lake named ”Minder Lake” in their sight. “WOW!! That’s the mysterious lake that had been legendary for years!!!! I finally see it in person!!! I have heard that there’s a dead person in it, will it be a haunted lake?!” Joe said in a high pitch. Jasmine glanced at Joe and told him don’t jinx it. At that very moment, there’s a strong wind blew over and the map in Jasmine’s hand fell into the lake. They search for it anxiously, but still couldn’t find it. Eventually, the water in the middle of the lake uplift and a goddess appeared in the middle. Having two different types of maps in her hand. “Kids, which kind of map is yours? Is it the golden one, or the normal one? Joe and Jasmine was shock already, Jasmine coughs awkwardly, and when Joe came out of his trance, he open his mouth slowly and said: “The…the normal one”.

“Alright, you kids are very honest, here you go.” Said the goddess of honesty. “I have something for you two, whatever you two will encountered next, 6.this thing is more crucial than any journey next.””Remember, you must protect it from being destroyed.” The goddess reminded. After thanking the goddess, Joe take a good look of the bracelet the goddess gave, and keep on going up the mountain. Jasmine find the sun getting darker and darker. They started to run, but the fog is heavy in the mountains and the mud is everywhere along the road. In such a hurry, Jasmine slipped and sprained her ankle. Joe looked at Jasmine feet with worry, and crouched down and reached his hands out to carry Jasmine on his back. There were tears in Jasmine’s eyes and she didn’t know if it was because of pain or touching.

It was alright all the way up the mountain, when they came to the mountain top, the scenery there was beautiful. Joe slowly put Jasmine down, and picked a flower in the wild. After that, he put it in Jasmine’s hair. Their distance was closer than twenty centimeters at that moment, the two can clearly hear each other’s heartbeat. Suddenly, the god fall from the sky and Joe’s bracelet flow to the god’s hand. “Thank you for finding the bracelet for me, this is the token of me and my wife’s. I’m the god of love that was back in the statue before, and I was touched by the way you two support each other. I’ll stick to my promise and hope you two can see each other’s feelings clearly and don’t miss the feelings that had built up. Five years later, a pretty bride and old man went straight with their arm in arm. They walked down the aisle step by step. Until going up to a man, the elderly man hands the bride to the groom. “I love you, grandpa. Joe, grow old along with me!” Jasmine says.
