It's getting dark now, and there's no way to notify He Zhendong and the others. We'll have to wait until we go out tomorrow to discuss it.
The next morning, everyone got up early, ate breakfast, and packed their things. They packed the things they wanted to take back into one large bundle, but since some food and other items had been used up, the original two large bundles were reduced to one.
The other items that He Yuhan took out from her spatial storage were all gathered together and placed in the cave.
When it was time to set off, after everyone left the cave, He Yuhan put everything into her spatial storage.
He Zhenhua, who hadn't seen his sister packing her things, was curious and asked, "Have you packed everything away?"
He Yuhan nodded and said, "I've put them all away."
He Zhenhua nodded, carrying a large bundle on his back, while Han Yixian carried other things and helped Huo Xicheng walk towards the exit of the valley.
After the group entered the cramped cave, Han Yi first took out a flashlight and led the way.
He Zhenhua said, "This place is really hard to find. It's thanks to your careful search that we were able to find it."
Who would dare venture too deep into this bottomless cave, let alone pass through it?
Han Yixian said, "We were determined not to let any possibility slip by, and in the end, our hard work paid off, and we finally found a way out. We were lucky this time."
The group of people wandered through the cave, which was sometimes wide and sometimes narrow, and after walking for half an hour, they finally reached the exit on the other side.
Han Yi first parted the grass and stepped out of the cave, taking a breath of fresh air and feeling refreshed.
They pulled the others out of the cave as well, and it took them a while to adjust to the bright sunlight outside.
The sun was already high in the sky. Han Yi checked his watch; it was noon, well past the time he and He Zhendong had agreed to communicate daily. He Zhendong must be getting anxious.
Han Yixian said, "Let's rest here for a while. I need to contact Zhendong."
He Zhenhua said, "They must be worried because we didn't turn on the radio on time."
Indeed, He Zhendong was preparing to contact Han Yixian and the others at 10 o'clock, but no matter how they called, Han Yixian did not respond, which made He Zhendong very anxious.
He couldn't help but worry that something might have happened to Han Yixian and the others down in the valley, otherwise why hadn't they heard a word from them?
They kept calling Han Yixian and the others until they finally got a response around noon.
Han Yixian told He Zhendong that they had found the exit from the valley and told them to pack their things and leave the cliff top to come down the mountain.
He Zhendong's people cheered when they received the news.
He Zhendong quickly shared the good news with his family.
He Chenglin and his family were overjoyed to receive this news.
Upon learning that Han Yixian and the others would be able to go home today, Wen Jinyu and Yu Huiru finally shook off their previous anxiety and listlessness, and happily began preparing delicious food to welcome the children home.
Han Xiao smiled at He Chenglin and said, "Did you see that? As soon as they heard the child was coming back, these two were so happy they almost lost their bearings."
He Chenglin laughed and said, "They were so worried. Now they can finally relax. Of course they're happy. They kept saying they were afraid the children would suffer in the harsh conditions in the valley. Now that they're finally coming back, they'll definitely prepare some delicious food to reward them."
This is something to celebrate.
Han Xiao nodded and smiled, "We should have a proper celebration. It's a stroke of luck that Yu Han and the others escaped death this time. We should also thank Huo Xicheng. Without him, Han Yichuan and his group's conspiracy might have succeeded."
He Chenglin nodded and said, "Yes, we owe a lot to Xicheng this time. When he comes back, we'll let him recuperate at my house and give him a good rest."
Han Xiao said, "He should be given proper care, and we must make sure he doesn't suffer any long-term effects."
Xu Rui has clearly lost a lot of weight these past few days since he hasn't seen his mother. The child still can't be separated from his mother. I'm relieved now that Yu Han is back.
He Chenglin also felt very sorry for her grandson. The adults were alright, but the child cried a lot when he couldn't see his mother, and he didn't eat well. Now he's lost a lot of weight. His little arms used to be chubby like lotus roots, but now they're almost gone. It's heartbreaking to see.
Wen Jinyu and Yu Huiru discussed what delicious food to make for dinner. The children must have suffered a lot, and they should make sure to nourish them properly when they get back.
Wen Jinyu said, "I feel much more at ease now that Yuhan is coming back. The child has been getting thinner and thinner these days, and it breaks my heart."
Yu Huiru said, "It's not that I'm heartbroken. This child is so young and already knows how to look for his mother. But I reckon even if Yuhan comes back, my breast milk will have dried up. My grandson will only be able to drink formula from now on."
However, Yuhan has connections and can get her hands on good formula specifically for babies. Haobo used to drink formula that Yuhan got for him, and he loved it. That formula was indeed good; he grew strong and healthy after drinking it.
Wen Jinyu said, "Then I'm relieved. I don't think my child likes the milk powder we buy outside, so it must not be nutritious enough. Otherwise, how could my child have lost so much weight? Yixian and Yuhan will be heartbroken to see the child like this when they come back."
"They're all those damned bastards; they should all be sent to labor camps in the frontier."
Yu Huiru said, "Don't worry, they won't get better."
After sending the message, Han Yixian and his group ate some dry rations, rested for a while, and then headed down the mountain.
Because Huo Xicheng was injured, they did not walk quickly, and by the time they descended the mountain, the sun was already setting.
They were quickly found by He Zhendong and his team when they reached the foot of the mountain.
Seeing them from afar, He Zhendong excitedly ran up to them, looking He Yuhan and Huo Xicheng over and over again. Seeing that the two were alright, he said happily, "You two almost scared me to death this time. Thank goodness you're both okay. Xicheng, how's your injury now?"
Huo Xicheng said, "Thanks to Yuhan's medical skills and everyone's care, my injury has improved a lot. With a little more rest, it will be fully healed."
He Zhenhua said, "Xicheng won't go back to the army this time. He'll come to our house to recuperate first, and then go back when he's fully recovered. Just keep an eye on him."
He Zhendong said, "That's no problem, Xicheng's recovery is the most important thing. Little sister, how's your injury?"
He Yuhan said, "I only have minor injuries and I'm almost fully recovered. Let's hurry home; our families are definitely waiting for us."
He Zhendong nodded and said, "Yes, let's hurry home. The cars are all parked on the main road, let's go there quickly."
Soon everyone got into the car.
He Zhendong had someone lead a team back to the army first, while he went back to the Han family home with Han Yixian and the others. Both families were waiting for them at the Han family home.
Everyone was eager to get home, and they didn't arrive until it was completely dark.
Han Yi first helped He Yuhan out of the car and said, "Yuhan, we're home."
