7 Brother.. let me sing a song for you...

He Jian takes out a flashlight from his space to look at his sister. One look at her hands and legs, his whole body becomes frozen instantly and he bites his lips to control his anger

Her pale skin is covered with bluish purple bruises and brownish red spots near cuts. Her white dress is now painted with red.

Her face is also covered with numerous cuts. On seeing his precious sister in this condition, He Jian finds his legs turning soft and supports himself against wall.

On seeing the sudden change in her brother's face, He Mei Ya quickly consoles him saying," Bro.. don't feel sad.. I can heal these wounds and treating these scars is a piece of cake for me. Even your body is full of wounds. Let us heal these wounds first."

He Jian remains silent for a while before taking a bowl and towel from his space and goes out of the cave to fetch water. On returning he dips the towel in the water and starts cleaning her wounds slowly, as if applying strength would break her arms. The little girl's face is pale and her lips are bluish due to cold. He quickly takes a shawl from his space and wraps it around her ears. After cleaning her wounds, he takes the healing ointment specially formulated by He Mei Ya and applies on her wounds and bandages them. Finally he takes a sleeping bag and places her securely in it.

After attending to his wounds, he washes his hands and drinks some water. He then takes some water and food left by Bao Tai near He Mei Ya and feeds her slowly.

He Mei Ya eats slowly without saying anything. She knows that her brother is both angry and sad at the same time. At these times, any unnecessary words will make him flip out. So, she silently looks at him.

After feeding her He Jian simply leans his back against the wall for support and closes his eyes. He Mei Ya can clearly see his lips trembling lips.

He Mei Ya slowly turns her body to the sides and looks at her foolish brother and slowly opens her mouth: " Brother.. Let me sing a song for you.."

He Jian remains silent.

"..." why is he so sad..

Inside that cave, under the faint moon light and across the wind bustling in their ears.. He Mei Ya slowly opens her mouth singing with a charming and pleasant voice:

" A blooming lotus brings the beauty of the otherwise stagnant lake..

A full moon brings out the beauty and warmth of a cold night...

A proud bamboo brings the splendor of the green nature...

A nightingale's song brings harmony to the silent wind...

Motherhood brings out the dormant strength of a woman...

Character brings out the beauty and virtue of a man...

Only tears can lead to smile...

Only love can lead to hate..

Only sadness can lead to happiness..

Only hardships can lead to luxury...

Only perseverance can lead to success...

So let's forget our past of sorrow..

So let's keep our hopes in present...

So let's keep going on for a happy future..

Let us go on hand in hand..

Supporting each other...

Soaring above the land and seas..

and Gliding through the skies to find

our friends.. our family.. our home..

our happiness....

oh....."

He Mei Ya glances at her brother who fell asleep already and chuckles to herself before touching her bracelet and enters her space.
