After a few nights in the car, my grandfather and I finally arrived at our hometown in Anhui on the afternoon of the third day.

Looking at the familiar old yard in front of me and the furnishings inside, although it was already covered with dust and no one took care of it, it could not stop the cordial feeling in my heart, and suddenly a warm smell of home arose.

After returning home, my grandfather and I tacitly avoided anything outside of life, including adventures, and started to go out early and return late every day to work in the papermaker's shop.

During this period, my grandfather also began to worry about my life events, and forced me to go on blind dates several times, but all of them were unsuccessful on several blind dates. Maybe most of the reason is still on me, and I can't forget the person I always think of inadvertently.

Originally, I thought that my Liu Yishou's life would be as planned for me by my grandfather, marrying a wife, having children, and having children and grandchildren until I died of old age and illness.

Who knew that in the spring of the following year, when the flowers were in full bloom, a friend of Hai Fat Mantuo who was far away from home sent me an email, and at the same time, it also included a bank card with a sum of up to 100,000 yuan, and how to get to the place he designated.

Although the letter is only a few short sentences, I think it contains the beginning of another story.

"The adventure is not over, the story continues; Three days later, we will see you at the airport in Somalia, the mailer: Hai Fat..."

In the papermaker's shop, my grandfather read the letter I handed over thoughtfully, and when he was done, he looked straight at me, as if he had something to say.

I don't have to guess, I just know what Grandpa is going to say next? It's nothing more than "a guard, you are not small, this ancient saying: there are three unfilial pieties, no queen is the greatest, you should stay at home and don't run away, find a big daughter-in-law to concentrate on giving birth to a baby at home..."

However, when the little abacus in my heart crackled, the next moment my grandfather's words made me doubly moved, and it was really a long live understanding.

"Ichimamo, grandpa can still see these days that your heart can no longer remain as calm as before," grandpa said meaningfully: "The next choice is up to you, remember, no matter what your decision is?" I'm going to finish it on my knees, you know. ”

I nodded heavily, the tip of my nose was slightly sour, no matter what happened before, my grandfather would make up my mind for me at the first time and protect me under me. At this time, the power of choice is in my hands, maybe he is really old, I am really growing up.

In the end, I decided to go to Somalia and join the sea fat man on a magical journey that was still to be continued.

The reason why I made such a choice may be that there is another factor in my heart, that is, I can never forget the Xing Ying who I love and hate, and I always fantasize about meeting again on the next journey, even if the final ending is not perfect, I want to have a romantic encounter with her.

I still vaguely remember the first time I went out to practice, it was a trip to Niushan, Dagu, Yunnan, when my grandfather closed the door of the papermaker's shop early for me.

That scene reappeared again today, but this time my grandfather and grandson's mood was much more complicated than the previous time, there may be reluctance, love, and more relief.

Somalia is the easternmost country on the African continent, also known as the Somali Peninsula, which has the longest coastline in Africa, with a total area of 637,660 square kilometers. It is surrounded by many waters collectively known as the Somali Sea, because of the perennial rampant piracy on it, gradually replacing the reputation of the "first terrifying sea" in the Malacca Sea.

I wonder why the sea fat man is there? And you seem to be sure that I'm going to go? With all sorts of incomprehensible thoughts, I fell asleep.

That night, I had a strange slam and dreamed that I was in the same boat with the fat man and a lot of other people. When the curtain of water rising from the ground appeared in front of us, all the people on the boat went in as if they were crazy, and finally disappeared with the whole boat......

When I woke up, my grandfather had already prepared the salute I needed, and there were not many things, although there was only a backpack, but it contained some special practical things, and even an old man's love for his grandson.

After saying goodbye to my grandfather again and again, I embarked on an unfinished journey that could be described as 20 years long.
