EP.3 Obaya Village

After a long, hard journey, I finally got to this village, Obaya. As I was walking in the village for the first time, I was amazed by its location nestled in the mountains, shrouded in foggy clouds all year round. I could feel the abundance of nature in the peaceful environment.

As I ventured out into the village, I met villagers engaged in farming. The villagers in this community were amazingly friendly, giving me a warm hello. I felt a feeling of warmth and affection that led me to decide to establish permanent roots in the village.

Due to the extensive travel, I was immensely fatigued and exhausted. I wanted somewhere to rest and recover for a day or so. I met the village elder, who greeted me with kindness and extended a warm welcome. I felt accepted and deeply moved by the warm reception.

After replenishing my energy and enjoying fresh food, I began to contemplate plans for settling in this village. I started by constructing small huts for resting and living, as well as clearing land for agriculture to sustain our livelihoods. Despite the demanding physical labor, I found happiness in my work. I felt a great sense of satisfaction and contentment in this village. My mind, once filled with chaos and unhappiness, now experienced peace and serenity. Both my body and soul felt relaxed.

At that moment, I realized that I could live the remaining days of my life in tranquility and happiness in this Obaya Village.
