No! It’s my house.

On the 22nd day of my trip to Laos, 

no! This is my home~

 As we left Vilaburi, all public transport was cut off, leaving us on a bumpy  road that could  only be reached on foot. The smell of the forest was on the tip of his nose. Another forest awaited him.

 In the  woods, in a small hut, we greeted a fresh morning, and the morning of the march began again. Replacing the pollution of the sluggish cars, the sound of all kinds of birds greeted the warmth of the loess road.

 I didn’t know how far I had come, but  it was clear that I was in the middle of a mountain of concubines. However, he suddenly appeared from hiding somewhere, and a wide basin unfolded, and there was a crowd of huts in such a small village, and the smell of people was everywhere.

 Compared to the previous march, there were no signposts or signs, and it seemed like a full day, so I could only imagine that it was about 25 kilometers, and I thought I should take a short break, and I sat down for a while to rest.

 I even enjoyed the midday sewage and felt like I was already living in the forest. However, the problem was that the map I brought with me was markings of roads and villages, and I was able to confirm that the whole area was a mess.

 But that’s not enough, and the absurd answers of the mountain people you meet from time to time  are wandering  around the same place! Eventually, dusk rolled in, and I looked around and realized that I was walking back out into the field, even though I should have gone into the mountains.

 It was clear that he had lost his way, but in the forests of the mountain meadows, as if to announce the beginning of night, the stars were beginning to shine beautifully in the silence, one by one, and no matter how busy they were, they couldn’t help but be sentimental…  

 But before it’s too late, I need to find a clearance in the woods, and I feel like I’m wandering in the dark without a flashlight, and the new tires on the soles of my feet, all of which seem to help, and I’m alone in my homelessness, sleeping alone with the enemy.

 In the face of such an evil reality, I had to find a way somehow, but I couldn’t find a particularly sharp way out, and all I could do was speed up my steps and walk a little faster.

 After wandering in the darkness that I could not discern for nearly two hours, I found a light that seemed to be a clue, cheered, and was so happy that I tried to take a step toward it, but I found myself crossing a rice field instead of a road.

 Oops! I didn’t know it was a rice pit right in front of me, and I fell into the mud tub with my clothes on, and my whole body was covered in sweat and my face was covered in mud, and I managed to climb up the pit.

 Luckily, I could confirm that he wasn’t hurt anywhere, and I could feel his presence nearby, so I had no choice but to chase the dim light. After a hard struggle, we arrived at the entrance of the village,

 I found myself in a shabby and isolated farmhouse, and suddenly in a remote mountain village with no electricity, there appeared a foreigner with a bushy white beard like a bandit leader, covered in dirt, with a small knapsack on his back, and a cowboy bungee pressed deeply.

 All the members of the house were frightened and began to scream and flee. I had no choice but to sit in an empty house without an owner, and after a while, torches were gathering in the distance.

 It seemed that the landlord who had run away was returning with him as reinforcements, but the way he cautiously entered his house even when the main guest changed, was really like a gay concert.

 Inevitably, I first told him in Lao  that he was fine, and that he wasn’t a bad person, so  he let his guard down and told them to come in, and then one of the owners, who seemed to be the owner, stepped forward with wide eyes and asked, “Who’s going on here?”

 Still, the first impression of the host was that he was a younger fellow than I expected, and his naïve first impression was good, so he was happy to be relieved, and when I replied, “I’m a passing traveler, but I got lost, and I came here,” he breathed a sigh of relief, stroked his surprised chest, and relaxed his guard a little.

 He looked really surprised, a little sorry, apologized again for the sudden visit, and added a few words to the matter, and gradually let his guard down and look relieved.

 Then, in an attempt to change the mood for a moment, he triggered a little mischief and insinuated, “No, you ran away as if you saw some kind of goblin, why did you come?””If you didn’t come back, I was going to have this house,” he joked.

 But, no! Well, it was a very normal joke, something that even a 7-year-old would understand, but an adult who wasn’t even a kid jumped up, even smiled, and innocently exasperated and said, “No, it’s my house!”

 Judging from the look on his face, no matter how much he joked, he was sure that he would be in danger of being kicked out, and that he didn’t need to put a lump on himself while trying to get rid of Siri, and it seemed inevitable that he would be able to fix it.

 Apart from! Words are indispensable for social animals to belong to and maintain a certain group, to express one’s emotions and to communicate, and for everyone to learn and master, and there is no doubt that they are important without a choice.

 However, it is important to keep in mind that if it is miscommunicated, it can cause irreparable disasters, so I knew that it was fundamental to communicate cultural differences, etc., by looking at them from the other person’s point of view, using their common sense, and speaking in a way that they could understand.

 I quickly told him not to worry because it was just a joke, and I tried to fix it, but I was just leaving him speechless about what kind of naivety he was, and what he was even checking the third time to see if it was true. I could only smile

 Still, the spectators who were watching, whether it was funny, all laughed, and the atmosphere was slowly relaxing. Anyway, fortunately, I was able to speak Lao, so I couldn’t communicate,  and if I misunderstood the white-bearded, cow-thief-like face  ,

 The fact that he was slapped without a doubt, if it was really the height of naivety,  would have been dizzying because he would not have been able to say a word about it  . Perhaps the darkness also played a part in this atmosphere,  and I  wondered how lucky it was to have a lantern instead of an electric light.

 If I had been able to see my face properly, I could not help but laugh, as I could imagine that if there was only a police station nearby, I would have reported it.

 Anyway, from our point of view, it was just how simple and beautiful they were… I was allowed to stay overnight, and I was able to finish with a sigh of relief as I washed and brushed off the mud that had stuck to my body.

 By the way, this is also a welcome ceremony. I couldn’t even sleep when I heard that a foreigner had appeared, and as if all the kids in the neighborhood had rushed out, more than 20 people gathered around the crowd and were distracted by the hustle and bustle.

 I looked at them closely, no, they didn’t! I wonder if they are opening their little eyes wide, and rolling their eyes curiously, as if they were looking at me as if they were in a zoo won! I’m going to die of stunning, aren’t  even the little ones making a fuss in front of my nose?

 However, I knew that playing with the kids for a while would be a great way to change the mood, but I wanted to just lie down because of the tiredness that had built up and built up after wandering around all day.

 The little boys in the neighborhood, who didn’t know how fast they were, were so sick in their eyes that they couldn’t stand there any longer, so they had no choice but to run away, so they ate every dinner and were busy looking for a place to lie down, leaving only the excuse that they were tired.

 I had no choice but to soothe my hungry stomach and try to sleep. I didn’t want to think about anything more today, and  as soon as I lay down, I fell into a deep sleep and fainted so much that I didn’t even know who was going to fall on my stomach.
