Shortly after, along with the sound of hurried footsteps, an adult man led that noisy girl to his bedside . When he saw that he was awake, relief flooded his face with a tinge of guilt .
“You’re awake, boy! It’s good that you’re awake! It’s good that you’re awake…”
Youyou warily sized up the man before him .
The man was a little old with dark skin and a stout physique . He was wearing an equally off-white shirt on him . From his stubble, he could tell that he paid no attention to his looks; hence, he appeared a little sloppy .

His voice was thick and hoarse when he spoke . It seemed that he was a heavy smoker!

AdvertisementFrom his ramblings, the boy learned that there was a remote farm near the mountain road and the man before him was a farmer who lived here . While he usually tended to his land of more than ten acres, he occasionally hunted on the mountains .
The trap he had fallen in was laid out by this man with the intention of catching some wild animals . Never did he expect that a boy would end up being ensnared by it, instead .
It was no wonder the man looked at him with guilt when he woke up .
He learned that this farm was called Anyang Village—a typical one at that . Speaking of which, the villagers here were old natives of the capital . Because of its remoteness, being near the mountains and far from the city center, the government did not develop this place .
The reason being that this geographical location held not much value .
A hundred or so villagers lived in Anyang Village . Most farmed for a living . Although they were not considered rich, they lived comfortably .
A few years ago, a farmer did a crazy thing by cutting down a portion of the forest and planting fruit trees . He unexpectedly got a good harvest that year, so the other villagers started planting fruit trees, too .

It was not for anything else other than this village not having received foreign visitors for a long time .
