Chapter 18: Leaving Home Again
Finally, we were leaving.
Mother and I sat in the car, watching the old house getting farther and farther away. In my heart, I was filled with reluctance to part. This is my home, the place where I grew up, but now, I have to leave it.
The villagers stood by the roadside, waving to us. I waved to them, watching their figures gradually disappear.
Run Tu was there too, standing at the very back, silently watching me. I waved to him, and he waved to me too. His eyes were filled with complex emotions.
The car drove faster and faster, the old house disappeared, the villagers disappeared, Run Tu disappeared too. I only saw the road ahead, saw the future ahead.
I was going to the city to start a new life. But I would always remember this place, remember these villagers, remember Run Tu.
