Zhao Yang, youve finally found your own friends. Now that you can leave with them, Grandma is truly happy, the old woman said with a warm smile. I no longer have to worry about your safety or your dreams.

Hearing her words, Zhao Yang nodded and slowly crouched down in front of his grandmother.

Grandma, Im going to leave with them now. If anything happens, please be sure to go find my parents, he said softly. Dont worry, Ill definitely come back to this village. Im just going to take a look at the world outside.

Grandma nodded slowly. Its good for you to go out and see the world, to gain experience and broaden your horizons. Only those who leave and return understand just how precious this life truly is.

Make sure you get along with these friends of yours. Remember not to act spoiled or be temperamental. Dont behave like you do at home.

Zhao Yang nodded again. At that moment, his grandmother turned her gaze toward Zhang Nu and the others.

Youre taking Zhao Yang out into the world. Please, be patient with him. Hes lived here his entire life and has never ventured out. Its only natural that he wont understand a lot of things. Teach him wellhes a good child at heart.

Zhang Nu nodded and, just like Zhao Yang, crouched in front of the old woman.

Grandma, dont worry. Ill take good care of Zhao Yang, he said sincerely. Were friends. On this journey, we wont abandon or give up on each other. No matter what happens to him, well pull him back.

Grandma nodded with approval. Good, good. Thats good. As long as you treat him well, he wont disappoint you.

Zhang Nu nodded again. He could tell that this grandmother was truly kind and understanding. She respected the will of her loved ones and never forced her opinions on others.

Grandma, dont worry. We wont be disappointed in Zhao Yang. Well definitely treat him well.

Hearing his words, the old woman nodded once more and gently closed her eyes, a serene smile spreading across her face.

If youre planning to leave, then go quickly. If you wait too long, you may not be able to leave at all.

Zhang Nu and the others had wanted to stay with her a little longer, but after hearing those words, they were about to protestonly for Zhao Yang to stop them.

When Zhao Yang heard his grandmother say that, he knew she wasnt lying. If they didnt leave now, they might really never be able to.

Grandma, then well head out now, he said. You take good care of yourself. Ill come visit you again when I return from the outside world.

Grandma nodded once more, and Zhao Yang led Zhang Nu and the others away in a hurry.

Zhang Nu and the others didnt understand why Zhao Yang was so anxious. Shouldnt he have stayed and spent more time with his grandmother?

Zhao Yang, why are you in such a rush to leave? Zhang Nu asked. Shouldnt you spend more time with your grandmother? Who knows when youll get to see her again?

Hearing Zhang Nus confusion, Zhao Yang replied calmly. Didnt Grandma already say it? If we dont leave now, we wont be able to leave at all. We have to listen to herwhatever Grandma says always comes true.

Zhang Nu and the others were stunned. Could she really be that powerful? Was she truly able to predict the future?

No way Grandmas really that amazing?

Seeing Zhang Nus skeptical reaction, Zhao Yang chuckled. He understood their disbeliefhe hadnt believed it either at first. But after many experiences, he realized that everything his grandmother said would come true. From that point on, he dared not doubt her anymore. Anything she said, he would follow.

Im serious. If you dont believe me, youll see next time we come back. Everything Grandma says will come true.

Zhang Nu and the others nodded. They sincerely hoped they would have the chance to witness that for themselves.

Well then, if were lucky enough to return, well be sure to stay longer and see just how amazing your grandma really is.

Zhao Yang nodded with a smile. At that moment, none of them knewonce they stepped out of this place, the chance to return would become a distant luxury.
