Sun Manhong walked into the mountain cave with a lantern, with Yu Xiaolian following closely behind.
Yu Xiaolian's sister was amazed to see this small cave arranged like a home.
Under the dim light of the lantern, Yu Xiaolian saw thick straw laid out in the cave, with some tattered clothes on top acting as bedding. There were also several chipped pottery jars and cracked ceramic bowls in the corner, which seemed to be what her mother and sisters used for meals.
Apart from these, they had also dug out several holes in the cave walls for storing things.
"Mom, you're finally back!" Zhang Jinhua hugged Sun Manhong tightly, almost bursting into tears. During the days her mother was away, she and her sister dared not sleep at night, afraid they would be kidnapped in their dreams.
