This was the first time he had come to the county town in his life. It was like a frog jumping into a well for the first time. He felt that the sky was wide and his chest was wide. People who lived in the city or were born on the plains would not have such a personal feeling. This kind of personal feeling came into being when Ah Tao and Yi Shen supported their horses and climbed to the top of the spring hill to look in the direction of the county town. After living in Longjitun or Jinlongdong, they would naturally think that there were only such mountains, such lands, or such people outside the mountains…Who knew that there was still a land beyond the heavens and the earth! The idiom 'sitting in a well and looking at the sky' was probably meant for such people or for him and her!
As the sun set and the lights were not on, Ah Tao and Yi Shen took advantage of the time when the caravan was unloading goods to tour the ancient city.
No one knew when this ancient city was built, but it had been inadvertently expanded to 21 streets, with a population of 50,000. She was one of the five trading ports opened by France in China. Before the Anti-Japanese War, the two banks were connected by iron bridges. Four-story buildings sprang up like bamboo shoots after a rain. The market was prosperous and the products were abundant. It reached to Nanning in the east, Annan in the west, Zhennan Pass in the south, Leiping, Tian and other counties in the north. The traffic was very developed. It was a green bright pearl given by nature to the southwest border of the motherland by the people of Longzhou. It was the clear yet vague shadow and state of mind that history and politics had left for the younger generation.
Now, the prosperity of the past had been torn into an unsightly mess. The iron bridge had been blown into two, the tall buildings had been cut into pieces by bombs, and the streets were in a mess... It had been almost five years since the victory of the war, but it seemed that the government had not been freed from the shadow of the war. The trauma of the war had not been completely removed from the hearts of the people, and they lacked the confidence to rebuild their homes. This was the state of mind that reality left Ah Tao and Yi Shen in.
If one were to ask what benefits Ah Tao and Yi Shen had gained from being the mysterious traveling companions of the caravan, he would say," They could load the horses, help the horses over the spring water, broaden their horizons, and understand some striking reality…They felt that they had grown up a lot.
From these aspects, he had not been in vain as the mysterious traveling companion of the caravan!
