Chapter 1 No Place to Go Chapter 1 No Place to Go

The sun is blazing, the cicadas and birds are chirping weakly, the willow trees are drooping their heads, and the pedestrians on the street are walking hurriedly, no one wants to endure the scorching sun in this hot summer.
Ning Jing sat in the corner of the street, staring at the sky in a daze. Although her name was Ning Jing, she was not at all peaceful at the moment! She had just quit her job at a company where she had worked for 5 years. She had been working in H City for 9 years since graduation. She had changed three companies, had no house or car, and had a four-digit deposit. Ning Jing was thinking about what to do in the future.

Ning Jing is already a 33-year-old left-over woman. She is the only one among her friends and relatives who is still single. Seeing that other families have children who can already help with cooking, Ning Jing is extremely envious.

I envy them for having their own home and their own baby. Ning Jing likes children very much, but she doesn’t even have one yet, so where can she go to have a baby?

Dragging her tired body, Ning Jing walked on the street, fantasizing about meeting him. She knew it was just a fantasy. It would be hard to find someone with her current image. Ning Jing worked in the public relations department of a hotel. With her current image, the company was able to wait until now to fire her. It must be said that the company had done its best.
In fact, Ning Jing is not ugly. On the contrary, she is very beautiful with delicate features. Otherwise, she would not have stayed in the hotel public relations department for 5 years. Time is a butcher's knife. Ning Jing has poor self-control and is greedy. Her weight has soared to 150 pounds. She is so fat that her delicate features are unrecognizable. Thinking of this, it is too late to regret.

Ningjing returned to her rental house in H City, a 52-square-meter house with one bedroom, one living room and one bathroom. It was enough for her to live in. The rent was about to expire, and she didn't know when she would find her next job. Ningjing was confused. The world was so big, but where was her home...

Ning Jing grew up with her grandparents in the countryside. Her parents divorced and each formed their own family. She was the extra person in the two families. Her parents gave her living expenses until she was 18 and then ignored her. It was her grandparents who took care of her until she went to college and then died one after another. She could no longer rely on her parents. Touching the silver bracelet left by her grandmother, Ning Jing fell asleep.

Ningjing slept until noon, and was awakened by her rumbling stomach. As a free person, she planned to take a day off and go on a three-day tour of the ancient city! Worry later, live well today! Pack your bags and set off!

Arriving at the beautiful town with green mountains and clear water, breathing the fresh air of the countryside, Ningjing really likes this place. There are mountains and water and it is not far from the sea, only 10 kilometers away from the beach.

The ancient city is peaceful and time seems to have stopped passing here. Years have gone by. Sitting alone in the quiet ancient courtyard, leaning on the railing, looking up at the high eaves and ruins, my heart is as calm as water. Suddenly, I vaguely see a person dressed in a tattered cotton-padded jacket walking out of the dim hall, getting closer and closer, as if to shake hands, but as if the soul is awakened, like a dream, with a chill on the back, but warm sunshine on the head. I dare not walk into the old courtyard alone, dare not touch the wall, the door, dare not step on the creaking wooden ladder, just because I don’t want to disturb the souls of these ancient years. The people of today’s ancient town are just living in their own stories. Ancient is a beautiful and luxurious wish!
With a mood of worrying about gains and losses, she walked onto the mountain path, looking for the legendary ancient town fairyland. The mountain road was rugged and Ningjing regretted setting out on the mountain road alone. For reasons she couldn't explain, she always had a premonition that this place seemed to have a deep connection with her, and she had a vague premonition that she had found her home.
