One day, Anning went to play with the little fox as she usually did, but after searching everywhere they used to play, she could not find a trace of it. Anning began to panic. She shouted the little fox's name at the top of her lungs, and her voice echoed through the mountain forest, but there was no response.
"Little fox, where are you? Come out!" Anning's voice was laced with crying, and the corners of her eyes gradually turned red. She searched everywhere to no avail, and finally sat helplessly on the ground, crying out loud.
Hearing Anning's cries, an Immortal Maid hurried over. Seeing Anning's heartbroken appearance, she felt a pang of reluctance in her heart, but she still believed this was an opportunity to help Anning understand certain truths. She squatted down, gently hugged Anning, and said, "Anning, stop crying. Many things will be lost if you don't hold onto them tightly. Just like this little fox—perhaps it has gone to a place of its own. Just like your father and mother, now that they have new children, the love they have for you might be divided."
