Later, Little Radish, who hated memorizing books the most, recorded the research of his seniors, word by word, with meticulous care. He found Hidden Mountain and set out on a journey of learning. Perhaps he will travel to various sects to gain new knowledge; perhaps one day he will return to immerse himself in Mohist studies and earn the title of "Crane."
Later, Ding Ping took Shao Ji's manuscripts back to Mohist Hill. His research proved vital in the mountains; when people asked whose brilliant idea it was, she would shout his name. Later, she left Mohist Hill and traveled to Jiangnan, Shu, Jingchu, and the Great Desert... She wrote those days into books for many to see. When she reunites with her old friends in the future, she will be the one telling the stories.
Later, Fu Xiao gathered books from everywhere and opened a free library: mechanisms, arithmetic, poetry, legends... she had everything. She organized matters with the same orderliness as before, ensuring anyone who wanted to read could do so. But when a butterfly lands on a book, her thoughts drift. She remembers a person: a gentle soul who loved to read.
Later, Li Fang, who had escorted the villagers south, became an official at court, reaching the rank of Chancellor and fulfilling his duties faithfully. He faced many more storms, but he could never forget that small academy. The academy was rebuilt, but those people could never return. When a breeze brushed past, flipping the pages of his book, he felt as if they had been there all along.
Later... there were many more laters.
