Chapter 12: "Follow in her footsteps."
Let's first go to the place where I lived before I moved.If she hasn't moved,she should still be living there.I'd like to take this opportunity to go back and see how my hometown has changed.Okay,let's set off now!
The place is about 50 kilometers away from our current location.I think it would be faster if we took a car!Yes,I agree with your idea.
Beep beep beep~Do you need a taxi?Two passengers.Yes,we're heading to a place called Taoshui Village.Do you know the way?No problem,I've been there several times,I can take you there.With that,we got into the blue taxi together and started our journey.
Driver,it's been many years since I've been back to that place.Is everything still okay there?It's fine,but the village is quite different from before.You'll see the changes when you get there.
She seemed very excited,but I was hoping that things wouldn't have changed too much,that she still lived in that village,and that I could see her smoothly...
Twenty minutes later,the taxi passed through the bustling crowds and left the town,arriving at the village.
Driver,is this the village we're supposed to arrive at?No,no,no,we're not there yet.It's still more than 30 kilometers to your destination.
Everyone here dresses simply,but their faces are full of happy smiles.There are also a few children playing hopscotch on the side of the road.
Look,I used to play hopscotch when I was a child.Back then,we didn't have so many entertainment facilities.We would draw nine squares on an open space with chalk and jump around on them.I felt so happy at that time.Ah,time flies,we grow up,and it's hard to find that kind of innocence again.
As we chatted,the car left the village and continued towards our destination!
There's a tall mountain ahead,do we need to go through this mountain range?Yes,but there's only one road to get through.The mountain road ahead is our only option.Mountain road?Is it a spiral-like road that goes from the foot of the mountain to the peak?Yes,but you need to hold on tight.It's quite bumpy on this road.Okay,driver,please be careful.We can handle it,just drive up as you can.
The driver stepped on the gas,and our bodies started to lean back.I held onto the handle and told myself this was a new experience.
After a series of maneuvers by the taxi driver,we successfully completed the mountain road."oh
