Chapter 4

The next day, I woke up in a daze.

My neighbor Annie came knocking on the door.

When she saw me, she handed me the dim sum she made herself.

They were wrapped in bamboo leaves, faintly emitting a natural fragrance.

She smiled and said, "These are local specialty in my hometown and I made them myself. If you don't mind, please try some."

I haven't met such an enthusiastic person for a long time.

I took it with surprise.

"Thank you so much, Annie."

Annie shook her head and said with a worried expression, "This is nothing. Anyway, this place is going to be developed. The bamboo forest in the back mountain will also be turned into a park. It's a waste to leave the bamboo there."

The house I lived in belonged to my grandfather.

I hadn't come back since they left.

I didn't know that this place was going to be developed.

"Really? When did this happen?"

'"t the beginning of the year, people came to investigate on site. I heard that there would be people coming to talk to those who didn't want to move. You are alone at home, so you must be careful about your safety."

I felt a wave of disappointment in my heart.

I thought this would be my last way out.

I didn't expect it to be cut off so quickly.

Maybe even God thought I should die in that earthquake.
