Entering the City

"We will, eventually," Jiang Chuan said solemnly in the dark.

"Yes, we definitely will."

"Absolutely, Xiao Gu, don't worry."

With Jiang Chuan's assurance, Jiang Xia and Zhou Lan comforted Jiang Gu.

Feeling the warmth of her family once again, Xiao Jiang Gu turned and snuggled into his sister's arms.

"Alright, time to sleep. We need to rest up and think about what to do tomorrow."

Seeing this, Jiang Chuan rose and extinguished the kerosene lamp.

As darkness descended, Jiang Xia's mind became clearer.

Jiang Gu, and that elder sister whom she had never met before, who she didn't know if she was dead or alive. All of this left her mind in a turmoil.

What should they do tomorrow? And in the future? How can they find their sister? What about Jiang Gu's schooling? If they earn money, will they have to go back? Has the problem in the village been resolved? And... how is that person doing?
