Chapter 30: A Journey to the

How could the children''s parents leave them unattended to play like this? One careless moment near the river could cost them their lives!

把两个孩子放在这个地方，就让他们两个就这样地玩耍，他们父母怎么能够就这么地放心呢？一不小心如果他们到了河边去玩那可就没命了呀！

Moreover, the two children were playing alone without anyone watching over them. Was this the local custom? Did they really ignore and trust their children so much?

并且这两个孩子自己玩着，连一个看着的人都没有，这难道是这个地方的风俗吗？难道这个地方对孩子这么地无视，这么地放心？

Gu Xiang''s heart trembled with worry.

顾湘的心都在抖着，抖着。

......

"Sister Ling, your child is playing by the river again. It''s too dangerous!" she shouted, handing the child over to her.

“玲姐，你的孩子又到河边玩水了，那里太不安全了呀。”顾湘喊道，并且把孩子给他送了过去。

Despite her concerns, Sister Ling would continue to let her child play anywhere, even dangerously close to the river, showing apparent indifference.

顾湘知道她的所作所为并没有用，因为玲姐依然还是会放着那个孩子到处玩，即使是离那么危险的河，那么地近，她也好像无动于衷。

Gu Xiang felt helpless, as the local customs differed significantly from those in her hometown.

The scenery here was beautiful and tranquil. For Gu Xiang, it was a paradise. If she could dwell in this dream forever, she would gladly spend her entire life surrounded by nature, with birdsong and the fragrance of flowers, living a peaceful life.

这里的风景很美，也很安静，对于顾湘来说就是一个世外桃源，如果能一直活在梦中，顾湘愿意一辈子就这样与自然相伴，鸟语花香，安安静静地过一辈子。

One day, Gu Xiang had a sudden idea and ventured off the winding path. Finally, she caught a glimpse of the sun. Under the dense canopy of towering trees, how long had it been since she last saw the sun?

有一日顾湘突发奇想，走出了那弯弯曲曲的小道。终于可以看到太阳了，在那座密密层层的参天大树的遮盖下，她已经有多久没有看到太阳了？

Beyond the forest and the path lay a vast, boundless grassland.

林子的尽头，小路的尽头，是一片一望无际的大草原。

Knee-deep, tender green grass painted a beautiful landscape. A narrow, winding path appeared well-trodden in the middle of the open grassland, indicating frequent use. Curious, Gu Xia
