The next morning, Tang Hao took a cab to Dragonrock Village.
He got out of the cab at the end of the bridge near the village entrance.
Several women were doing their laundry at the streamside. They greeted Tang Hao when they saw him. "Oh, Lil Hao is here!"
"You haven't shown up for many days! What are you busy with?"
"Oh! Lil Hao is a big boss now! Of course he's busy, unlike us!"
Tang Hao greeted them courteously with a smile.
Dragonrock Village was a small village with several hundred inhabitants. Tang Hao knew every one of their names.
He enjoyed the warm intimacy with the villagers.
He crossed the bridge and arrived at the village. Looking into the distance, several huts that were built next to the mountain had already been replaced by new, bigger houses.
The village was getting a makeover.
