Looking at the frail boy before her, Jiang Ling finally disregarded the mud covering Jiang Yaojie's hands and gently embraced him, softly saying, "Yaojie, don't cry. Your mother will make sure you don't go hungry!"
Jiang Yaojie froze, then hid in Jiang Ling's arms and burst into tears.
The crying continued in the valley for a long time. Although Jiang Ling felt a little uncomfortable, out of maternal instinct, she gently stroked Jiang Yaojie's back.
After a long while, Jiang Yaojie's crying finally stopped. He jumped out of Jiang Ling's arms in a fluster, said thank you to Jiang Ling with a complicated expression, and then returned to his previous silent state.

Jiang Ling felt very satisfied. She quickly wiped the sweat from her forehead and walked out of the valley.
