Scared

Ye Jian was all the more unwilling to let Uncle Gen return to the village. After her training ended, she wiped the sweat off her forehead and rejected the idea too. "Staying here is indeed not as comfortable as staying in the village. There's no one to chat with. However, you've only been here for two days. Why are you going back so soon? I won't stop you from going back but you need to rest properly first."

"From our village to the province, it takes 18 hours. How can you endure the journey without resting properly? I heard you coughing at dawn."

Four years had passed and Uncle Gen became much older. He was like a pine tree that was gradually getting old. His back was still straight but he was already showing signs of withering. Whenever Ye Jian looked at the elder that changed her life, her eyes would turn teary.
