"Click."
I took off my hat and exposed my face to the humid air. After patting off the broken branches hanging on the cloak, what lay in front of me was lush green. The trees cover the sky and the sun is almost invisible.
Through the white mist, you can vaguely see the village standing quietly at the end of the path.
I touched the corner of my robe and it was already soaked. The shoes and socks were also stuck to my feet, feeling cold.
"Huh."
Sigh lightly. I bent down, looked at the village not far away, struggled to pull out my feet stuck in the muddy path, and continued on my way.
The weather in Kawa no Kuni is always like this.
This is already my second time here. Nothing seems to have changed. Especially the weather, even the air seems to have just been soaked in water, full of moist moisture.
At the bend of the road, a woodcutter came out. I quickly stepped aside. When the man dressed as a woodcutter came closer, I realized that he looked very old.
"Oh. Are you from out of town, young lady?" When passing by me, the old man talked to me kindly. It seems that the old man has been living in a closed place all year round, and the arrival of strangers seems to be full of surprises for the old man.
"Yes," I replied with a smile, "I am traveling now. Because my family is in business, so in order to inherit the family business, I have to travel alone. Where is the old man? Have you always lived near here?"
"Yes... I am the only one left at home now," the old man said slowly, "I am old. I am still a young man. When I reach my age, I will know that nothing can compare to a hot meal at home."
As he spoke, the old man seemed a little sad. So I quickly said: "Excuse me, is the supply station town in front of this?"
The old man nodded noncommittally. Then, he pointed to the path ahead: "Ah... Just ahead. Pass through the village at the end, go to the path on the left, and you can see a huge rock. There should be a sign nearby. It is not a big town, because it is very close to the village... For more details, I will ask you when you get to the village. I haven't left here for a long time."
I bowed to the old man: "I'm really grateful."
The old man shook his head, tightened the bag around his waist, and slowly walked away.
An old voice came from afar.
"Be careful, young man..."
