Jangar took the torch and started lighting a fire near it, but his hands were trembling with the cold, and he could hit the stones properly.
"Let me help you, Uncle," Famir said and closed his eyes. Suddenly, fire burst on top of the torch and it was lit up. The people around him were surprised that he could do that, but for now, they didn't say anything.
Jangar walked up to his father's corpse and covered the face again. Then, he lit the pyre on fire.
The fire in the snow helped relieve some of the coldness the crowd was feeling. They stayed there for another half an hour as the fire crackled to a stop.
Jangar walked forward with an empty pot and gathered the ashes. Then, he stood up and started walking.
The other 10 people who were also carrying pots of ashes followed him. Ning soon realized that they were going to go around the mountain.
So, he followed the people and walked.
