Found by an expedition

More than 40 years later, an expedition was exploring the high mountain and found them. He was farming while his wife was weaving a cloth when the expedition noticed them. That day they were found by people from outsde world was Mid-Autumn Festival.

They seemed to live a lfe of primitive society. The kerosene lamp was made by himself and the clothes were made by her. The mud house was built by them together with their 7 kids.

The expedition later figured out they were right those who disappeared in a night more than 40 years ago in the villiage on the foot of the mountain. During the four decades, they seldom went down the mountain.

A TV station wanted to invite the couple to their Qixi EVE programme a year later. He attended it while she was sick in bed. When the host asked him to say anything he wanted. He just said, "I miss my home..."

People sitting in the guest chairs laughed. He had been here just for a little while yet he started to miss his home, what a childlike old man. But he continued to explain, "I am afraid the monkey will come into my house and steal my food." Soon, people burst into laughter by his innocence.

However, he told his sons years after, that night was the first night he wasn't with his wife since he eloped to the mountain with her and he worried about her so much. He wanted to come back to her as soon as posssible so that he said those words.

That year, time turned their hair to white and sculpted many wrinkles on their pale faces...Everything changed but their love as time went by.

To be contnued...
