Reflecting on this, Wang Mu looked at the scene before him. More than a decade later, An Qixiu returned to Anle Village. She was like a regular fisherman, fishing in the creek, seemingly waiting for something. But what she was waiting for never came. Afterward, the image vanished.
"..."
Wang Mu was startled. Was that it? Had it disappeared?
But soon, the scene reappeared, as if starting all over again. It was still the little girl: entering the village, teaching many villagers, gracefully leaving, and ten years later, once again showing up by the creek in Anle Village to fish. Still, what she waited for never came.
"..."
The scene kept repeating itself. Sometimes, the little girl would meet a blurry figure by the creek, but there was no further development. Occasionally, she would shake her head slightly, sometimes she was as still as a wood carving, and other times she would be lost in a reverie she couldn't forget.
