Hong Mei looked up at Li Yu and smiled at her. Li Yu saw that she was delicate and good-looking. Perhaps because she had been in the house for a long time, her thin skin looked fairer than Ah Lian and the others.
"My name is San Qiao. My name is La Mei. Cuifen, Qiao Ju…" The other women said their names.
Li Yu greeted them. Ah Lian said to Li Yu, "Madam, we still have sisters locked in the nearby thatched house. We want to let them out."
Li Yu picked up the torch inserted in the crack in the wall. "Let's go! I'll hold the torch for you."
Ah Lian nodded and bowed to Li Yu. "Thank you, Madam."
Everyone followed Li Yu out. Hong Mei shouted from the bed, "Second Sister-in-law, I want to go with you."
Ah Lian looked back at her and nodded. "Okay, let's go together."
Li Yu saw Ah Lian walk to the bed and carry Hong Mei on her back. When Ah Lian walked past Li Yu, she said, "Her legs were broken by those animals."
