Death announced to him the most incisive farewell with his teeth and claws.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's time for Ko to go to junior high school.

The old teacher retired when he was in the fourth grade. Because he was reluctant to be the only student, he persisted in his post for another two years. Finally, he had to retire because of his health. His son took him to the provincial capital to live for the rest of his life.Before leaving, he held KO's hand, moved his lips, and said only four words: "Study hard."

Ko nodded obediently and waved him goodbye.In his short life, he has seen farewells too many times.People kept saying goodbye to him, but no one met him again.

He gradually understood the meaning of "goodbye".Most of the goodbyes in the world are actually seeing each other again.

The old yellow dog at home finally stopped breathing one morning after several years of lingering.

The word "death" is still too heavy for a child, but it does not hide its hideous face.

He and his grandmother buried it on the hillside behind the house.Grandma believed that people had souls after death, and so did animals.When he left, he was still urging: "Ah Huang, you have to guard this home well." Only the wind from the mountains passed through, whimpering as if answering.

You want to ask ko is sad?Of course I was sad, but my heart was a little numb, no matter how heartbreaking I was, it would become the final calm.

Soon, he will leave here and go to junior high school in the county.

The school learned about his family's situation and waived tuition and miscellaneous fees, as well as accommodation fees.He has new classmates and roommates, but he is still not very talkative.

His early life left a deep imprint on his character.He likes to see other people's vitality, but he can't participate in it.More often, he just sat there, watching and thinking.

He misses his grandmother who has no one to take care of at home, the old yellow dog buried on the hillside, the wild flowers all over the mountains and plains in the spring breeze, and the flickering fireflies in the rice fields...

All his thoughts were left in that small mountain village where no one cares about, but he came and left alone.

When we were young, the maverick child was always easy to be sought after or isolated.Although ko didn't deliberately want to be the maverick, he was gradually turned into a maverick.

He has no friends.

It's not that he was intentionally isolated, but rather, he was ignored unintentionally.It's like an existence that lacks a sense of existence, and is only occasionally remembered on certain occasions.

He didn't feel lonely, on the contrary, this place where no one was disturbed made him feel at ease.He seems to have understood prematurely that this world will ultimately require him to walk alone, so it doesn't matter if he doesn't have a companion.

Many years later, he met a person who said to him: "I want to accompany you through this long, long life." Then he suddenly realized that he was so lonely when he was young.
