Chapter 53
74
The morning I left was another smoky morning.
Although Yan Zi insisted on seeing him again and again, Fugui still did not let her see him off. Because he did not want to look back and see the lonely figure of Yan Zi, watching from a distance with sadness, and he was even more unwilling to see Yan Zi's tears at the moment he turned around.
He knew that he did not have the courage to face Yan Zi's lost eyes. Those gentle eyes would penetrate his strength and make his heart endure an unbearable pain.
However, when he left alone with his luggage, he realized that his steps were so heavy. He almost looked back and left the quiet mountain village. When the first wisp of smoke from that mountain village rose and disappeared in his sight, he stood there silently and stared for a long time.

These days, Swallow has been happy, but he can know what kind of pain is hidden in Swallow's smiling eyes. These walnuts are watered by her sweat over the past few years. Under each hard shell, it is wrapped with Swallow's hope for the future and a kind of expectation for the future life.
Now she should be busy on the mountain again, right? Fugui thought silently.
With tears in his eyes blurred, he could imagine that the swallows were climbing on the mountain step by step with a bucket on his back. The sweat dripped on his face fell on the steep mountain, one drop, one drop...
