He spoke fluent Chinese and said as he came up to her. "I grew up in Jamal. I'm familiar with that place. I'll go with you."
Chu He was surprised and looked behind him. "Where are your parents?"
He said that he wanted to go. Maybe it was because he was innocent by nature, but wouldn't his parents stop him?
The youth's eyes darkened and he said in a weak voice, "My parents are dead…"
Chu He was stunned.
The young boy pursed his lips but did not cry. He gritted his teeth and said, "They were killed by the rebels…"
Chu He smiled. "Aren't you afraid?"
The youth shook his head and said firmly, "I'm not afraid. Anyway, my father is gone, my mother is gone, and my sister…" he gritted his teeth and closed his eyes. "…is gone too, I'm alone. There's nothing to be afraid of!"
