“I see.” Chang nodded with sorrow – the soldier was dead, without anyone having known his name. A life vanished in this lush jungle, without the accompaniment of friends and family.
“God…” Chang turned away from the corpse and found Jing, who was pushed to the other side of the bush. He picked her up and held her tightly and silently as if he feared that Jing would pass from his sight before he could notice. Chang loosened his arms after a second or two, and started to repack his backpack, he said to Mingyi without looking at him, “Let’s go, we still have others to look for.”
“Sure.” Mingyi’s voice came from the fog, he again followed Chang to return to the Zheng Kai Avenue.
