Overwhelmed with surprise, Gao Yang turned toward the source of the sound. Next to a large tree, only a dozen meters away, stood a little girl, whom he recognized nonetheless.
"Mupa! You're Mupa, I'm White Child, I'm White Child!"
The girl named Mupa, bare-chested, was holding a tortoise in one hand and leaning on the large tree with the other, gazing timidly at Gao Yang. But after hearing Gao Yang's words, Mupa cried out in delight and hurriedly ran towards him.
Gao Yang and the girl named Mupa embraced each other. However, after holding each other tightly for a moment, Gao Yang immediately pushed Mupa away and, grabbing her shoulders, urgently asked, "Where's Kumtom? Where are they, who are these two girls? Where's Kalisar?"
Mupa turned and pointed toward the forest behind her. "Kalisar is at home, she's cooking. Dad's not here; he and my brothers left many days ago. These two are from the Kaisen tribe, we've had a few extra people join our tribe; they're my brothers' wives."
