"Senior, wait up. I have other comrades. What about them? Can I go and bring them here?" Tang Wulin asked.
The elder stopped in his tracks. "You can bring them here?"
Tang Wulin smiled bitterly, "I'll have to go back out first. But, I don't know how to get out of here."
The elder chuckled. "So, it's best if you follow me first. You can't go out from here." He then continued walking toward the depths of the valley.
Tang Wulin said nothing more. He hastily caught up with the elder and supported him of his own accord.
This old man looked as if it was rather difficult for him to walk as he was teetering. Tang Wulin supported his armpits gently to reduce the strain his body weight was putting on his legs.
"Senior, shall I carry you on my back?" said Tang Wulin.
"Sure!" said the old man frankly.
Tang Wulin squatted down to carry the elder on his back. The old man was light. With Tang Wulin's strength, he seemed weightless.
