NOVEL NEXT Chapter 15: "Arriving at Taoshui Village"
"Look,this is the village you see here,welcome to Taoshui Village.Thank you,Mr.Hunter,for bringing us here.It's nothing,I often encounter some lost people while hunting,and I help them whenever it's convenient,and you are no exception.Alright,you have now arrived at the village,and I should continue with my work.Good luck to you.Goodbye～If I have time,I will definitely visit your home.Bye～
Wow,so much has changed after all these years:There used to be weeds near the entrance of the village,and the small river by the village has become much clearer than before.The roadside has been planted with beautiful camphor trees,no longer those messy shrubs.A golden field of rice comes into view,as if I am back to my childhood playing in the fields...
At this moment,our destination has arrived,and the driver bid us a simple farewell and then left us.
How are you,grandmother?Who are you?I'm Tingting.You held me when I was a child.Oh,it's Tingting.So many years have passed,and you've grown so tall that I almost don't recognize you,haha～
Grandmother,how have you been these years since I left?Very well,later the village developed,and our lives have been getting better and better.Tingting,you came back this time to see the village,right?I think you haven't eaten yet.Why don't you come to my house for a meal before you go to see your old house?No,grandmother,let's go and see the changes in the village first,and then it's not too late to go to your place.Alright,who is this person next to you?Oh,he is my friend,and he is also here to find someone in the village.I nodded,yes.Hey,young man,who are you looking for?There is no one in this village that I don't know.I can help you find them.Thank you,I hope you can take me to her house.Who?The house of this woman.I opened my backpack and took out the remaining sketch from the previous missing person poster and handed it to her.
Oh?Young man,don't blame me,I'm old now,and my eyesight is not as good as before.I can hardly tell who is on the sketch you gave me.Grandmother,he described the girl who used to live near me and went to school with me,Tingting patiently told her.I remember now,is it the beautiful little girl who had golden hair since she was young?Yes,that's her,that's the person I'm looking for.
May I ask if she still lives in this village?Can you take me to her house?I started to become impatient,and Tingting shook her grandmother's hand and acted coquettishly,saying take us there now.Wait,Tingting,what are you going to do?Aren't you going to see your old home?I'm going to see my old classmate.I didn't just come here;I also want to catch up with my old classmates.
I'm afraid this is a bit difficult～Why?Has she moved out of the village?No.Is it that she is not at home today?No,that's not it either.Then is it that she doesn't want to see people today?No,no,no～
A few days ago,I heard from the villagers that she had a strange illness a few months ago,and then her father,fearing she would affect others,rarely let outsiders go to their house.Strange illness,what strange illness?Yes,I need to tell you slowly,and after listening,you will know what happened～"
