1389 Words
The night is deep, with twinkling stars, and the mountain village is immersed in a peaceful atmosphere. I, Ruohan, am immersed in a world of yellowed books, savoring the tranquility brought by knowledge. Suddenly, a hurried knocking broke the silence of the night and pulled me back from the book to reality. The knocking on the door was rapid and powerful, as if it were the knocking of fate. I lifted my head and snapped out of the yellowed pages of the old book. Who... who is it? "My voice was steady with a hint of doubt, and the book in my hand was firmly placed aside. It's me, village chief. "The voice outside the door was low and anxious, as if something important was about to happen. I quickly put down the old book in my hand that carried the traces of time, and my heart beat slightly faster. Carefully walking to the door, holding onto the cold door handle, gently turning it, the door slowly opened. The figure of the village chief appeared in front of him, standing quietly in the rain curtain. The water droplets on the edge of his cloak kept dripping down the brim of his hat, forming clear water marks one after another. His face was slightly blurred by the rain, but his furrowed brow and serious expression clearly conveyed a heavy atmosphere. Village chief, what happened? "I asked calmly. Ruohan, you... you're not from our village, "the village chief's words sounded like thunder in my heart. What? "I looked at him in shock, unable to believe what I had heard. Listen to me, you... you are a young lady from the city who was picked up the wrong way back then. Now, your family has come to pick you up, "the village chief's words hit me hard like a heavy hammer. My gaze passed over the village chief and I saw the luxury sedan parked in the rain, its headlights shining brightly in the rain curtain. The car door slowly opened and several figures walked out, their eyes firm and bright, as if carrying some irresistible force. Ruohan, this is true, "the village chief's voice was low with a hint of reluctance. In that moment, I felt like I was at the intersection of two worlds, with solid rural land beneath my feet and an unattainable urban illusion before my eyes. Familiar and unfamiliar, safe and adventurous, two completely different lifestyles collide fiercely in my heart, weaving a complex emotional web. I stood on the threshold in a daze, letting the cold rain hit my face recklessly, intertwining with hot tears, blurring my vision and confusing emotions. At that moment, I couldn't distinguish whether what flowed on my cheeks was the gentle rain bestowed by nature or the uncontrollable sadness and confusion deep inside. Ruohan, come with us. "A middle-aged man in a suit walked up, his voice gentle but with unquestionable authority. I turned around and looked at the simple yet cozy little house, where all my memories were. Then, I took a deep breath and took that step. At the moment when the car door closed, I felt an unprecedented sense of confusion and unease. Outside the car window, the city lights gradually became clear, like the brightest stars in the night sky, leading me towards a brand new future. However, I am also well aware that with this departure, I will completely bid farewell to my past life. The atmosphere inside the car was unusually quiet, with only the sound of the wipers swinging back and forth on the windshield. I secretly looked at the middle-aged man sitting next to me, his eyebrows exuding a calm and confident aura, but there was a hint of subtle tenderness in his eyes. Hello, my name is Ruohan, "I whispered, trying to break the silence. He turned his head and smiled slightly, "I know, Ruohan. I'm your uncle, you can call me Uncle Lin Uncle? This title is so unfamiliar to me, yet so familiar. I nodded, and an inexplicable warmth surged in my heart. How did you find me? "I asked curiously. Uncle Lin sighed, a hint of complex emotion flashing in his eyes: "This is a long story. When I get home, I will tell you slowly I nodded and stopped talking. The car fell silent again, with only the sound of rain and the roar of the engine accompanying us. The car drove in the rain for about an hour and finally entered the center of the city. I have never seen such a dazzling night scene before, with neon lights on high-rise buildings shining like fireworks, illuminating the entire night sky. I couldn't help but stare blankly, and an inexplicable excitement surged in my heart. Look, that's our home, "Uncle Lin pointed to a towering building ahead, a hint of pride flashing in his eyes. I followed the direction of his finger and saw a magnificent villa, with a fountain in front of the door that looked particularly dreamy under the light. I can't imagine that such a place would be my home. The car slowly drove into the entrance of the villa, and my mood became increasingly tense. I took a deep breath, trying to calm my emotions. The car door opened and I stepped out of the car, stepping onto this unfamiliar land. The rain has stopped, and the air is filled with the fragrance of soil and grass. I looked up at the sky, and the stars were faintly visible in the clouds, as if smiling at me. Welcome home, Ruohan. "Uncle Lin's voice sounded in my ear, and I turned my head to see the anticipation and joy in his eyes. I nodded, my heart filled with complex emotions. I know that from this moment on, my life will be completely changed. Bring your thoughts back to the present moment. Ruohan, it's time to go to bed. She has to wake up early for school tomorrow, "her mother's gentle voice interrupted her thoughts. If Han closes the pages of the book and reluctantly lets go, her heart is still immersed in the vast world depicted in the book. Okay, Mom, you should go to bed early too, "she replied with a smile, her eyes filled with an indescribable light - a longing for the future and a rebellion against reality. The next morning, fish belly white appeared on the horizon, everything revived, and the entire mountain village was covered with a soft glow. Ruohan woke up early, helped her mother with household chores, and then put on her rudimentary backpack, embarking on the journey to school. She has walked this path countless times, each time igniting a new spark in her heart, reminding her not to forget her original dream. Do you know? Yesterday, a group of outsiders came to the town, saying they were looking for a child who had been lost for many years. "At school, classmates gathered together to discuss, and Ruohan listened attentively, unable to help but have various speculations in her heart. However, she did not expect that this seemingly ordinary discussion would completely change the trajectory of her life. In the afternoon, when Ruohan returned home from school as usual, she found a luxury sedan parked in front of her house that she had never seen before. The car's body shone brightly, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding environment. Several well-dressed strangers were standing beside the car, chatting with their mother. At this moment, time seemed to freeze, and Ruohan's heart began to beat violently. Ruohan, come over quickly, "the mother waved and called out, her tone mixed with complex emotions. Ruohan approached hesitantly and noticed that the eyes of those people looking at her were full of scrutiny and anticipation. We have found you, our daughter, "one of them spoke, his words like a bolt from the blue, instantly turning Ruohan's world upside down. From that moment on, Ruohan's life underwent earth shattering changes. The once familiar mountain village has now become a painting of memories; The city she once longed for suddenly became a reality she had to face. She is no longer the unknown girl from a mountain village, but carries the identity of a wealthy heiress and faces countless unknown challenges and temptations.
