"I see," Ning said.
He turned to look at Jangar and asked, "So his father lived with you guys?"
"Yes, Brother Yian lived with us for a few years," Jangar said.
"Oh, then you guys must've been quite close to each other," Ning asked.
"Oh no. I was maybe 6 years old when brother Yian came to live with us. He was around the same age as my late brother Nassi. Those two hit it off quite well," Jangar said with a melancholic voice.
"Late brother? How did he die?" Ning asked.
" He… was cutting a tree and the tree fell on him," Jangar said.
"Oh, that's quite sad. You have my condolences. Did you find your brother?" Ning asked.
"No, it was some other people who found him and carried his body back home. That was 3 years ago," Jangar said. " Let's stop talking about this. You guys want to go to the town right? Let's go," Jangar said and started walking.
