Chapter 13 go to the plateau

Casper carefully inquired about the way to the plateau. "Go to that plateau," said Belltoad. "There's a dark pool over there, and there's a big old spruce tree by the pool. It's such a lonely tree, and when you get there, you can sit under that tree and wait for the moon to appear in the sky. Only the moon comes out , in order to find the jelly. The jelly will glow when it is illuminated by the moonlight. It is a silver umbrella flower. It grows next to the roots of the spruce tree and shines. You only need to get a bouquet of that jelly , Everything is done. You got that kind of fairy grass, Chu Wameng can't do anything with you, because Chu Wameng can't see the person who takes the fairy grass."

"After Chu Wameng came home, he found that I was not there. Did he want to look for me?" Casper asked. "Of course I need to find it, so hurry up and get the jelly grass. Well, you can go. There is a long way to go. I hope you have a safe journey. I sincerely wish you success!" Casper stood up, shone his lantern on the bell toad in the pond, and saluted it: "Then, goodbye!" "Goodbye, but after you go out, don't forget to close the door, so that Chu Wameng cannot find out that you are talking to me." Ah, really.There are three more doors!Casper had forgotten all three doors.He closed the doors tightly one by one, and then walked up the stone steps in the basement, turned the door handle at the entrance and closed the door tightly.Then, he went into the room where Chu Wameng stored food, took a piece of bread and two sausages, and immediately set off on his way.

Casper climbed out of the window and jumped into the vegetable garden.When he was outside the house, he took off his hat.He didn't feel bad about parting with the hat.He put his hat in the parsley field not far from the fence. Can we go smoothly if we leave now?Thinking of this, Casper couldn't help feeling depressed.He remembered the slap in the face last night. "Whether it goes well or not, we'll wait and see! If it doesn't go well, it will be the same as yesterday!" However, at this moment, he went out very smoothly, neither being dragged back by the back of the neck by an invisible hand, nor was he slapped.He got into the grass on the other side of the fence, and he was relieved.

"Ah," said Casper. "I don't know if Zobel's hat is useful or not. Anyway, there is no one..." However, what is more important than this is to go to the plateau! Casper walked for an hour, two hours, groping his way along the path pointed out by the bell-toad; at first he walked a part of the road through the forest, and then followed the creek.I came to a forest again. There must have been three birch trees here, and one of the birch trees had a big gap. Yes, there really were three birch trees there.According to the Bombington, there was a narrow path leading to the thickest part of the forest.Casper can reach his destination as long as he follows this path.However, it takes two hours to walk to the plateau.As he walked all the way, the sky gradually darkened, and it was already night.

Casper was overjoyed when he finally arrived at his destination.He sat down under the spruce tree on the bank of the black pool, took off his shoes and socks, dipped his tired legs in the pool water, and waited for the moon to rise.In order to understand his panic, he took out a piece of bread and two sausages that he had brought with him and ate them. At this moment, Casper doesn't have to worry about the great magician Chu Wameng anymore, because the great magician can't catch him anymore.However, things cannot be said to be completely smooth.He sat waiting, and the longer he waited, the more restless he became.

Has Chu Wameng returned home from Buxtutai at this moment?What would he do if he found out that Casper was not at home? ... "Dear moon," Casper sighed. "Where are you now? Why haven't you come up for such a long time? I can't get the jelly grass, and if Chu Wameng finds it, it's all over! Old moon, you heard me Is it? Come out quickly!" But Sister Moon was slow, and she refused to show up for a long time.Casper seemed anxious as if he was sitting on pins and needles, and at the same time, he was thinking about how to deal with Chu Wameng if he knew.
