This is a Stockader's mask.
The proof of your journey rests within your heart.
We should ask Tangtang if we have the chance.
No. This is a ... secret message too.
What does the message say?
May the water carry my wishes... My child... Forgive me for leaving your side...
Perhaps the mother was left with no choice but to say goodbye.
She must have had her reasons for raising a child under such harsh conditions...
...In the end, she had no choice but to give up.
I didn't expect such a sad story in Qingbo Stockade.
And thus the children of Yan grew up in this world without deities, and devoted their boundless faith to the mountains and rivers... By the mountains they live, and upon the waters they depart.
The same mountains and rivers thus became a vessel of their sorrows and joys.

If we follow the flow of this river, the child probably ended up at Qingbo Stockade.
What are you talking about? Something mysterious?
Well, not my business anyway. Say, why don't we take a group photo as a memento?
