The village in the mountains is quiet without any bustle; not even insects or frogs can be heard. Zhuo Feng has slept until dawn, and when he wakes up at nine, Xiao Xian is already gone, with the whole house silent.
Zhu Shijun and the village chief have also gone to the fields to discuss farm matters. Inside and outside the house, everything is empty, and a square table in the hall has a set of bowls and chopsticks on it.
Underneath the bowl, there's a note that reads: "Grandpa and I have both gone out, the porridge and dumplings are being kept warm in the pot." Written in a few simple, yet beautifully neat words.
