Shi Yan’er

The little three-wheeled motorcycle drove past a stretch of muddy dirt road toward the village.

A comforting scenery of green mountains and clear waters greeted him. Small hovels were built along the mountainside in the distance. He could see smoke rising from the chimneys.

After crossing a bridge over a stream, he reached the entrance of the village.

There were some women doing laundry next to the stream. They carefully examined Tang Hao. Dragonrock Village was a small settlement and not many people lived there. Everyone knew each other and so they would be curious whenever a stranger turned up.

"Eh! Whose kid is this?" The group of women talked among themselves.

Suddenly, a woman stood up and exclaimed in surprise, "Oh? Aren't you Lil Hao?"

 "Lil Hao? Isn't that Caifeng's son?"

The full name of Tang Hao's mother was Shi Caifeng.
