Upon hearing this, Ganli looked up at the sun, which was still directly in the center of the sky, and then silently lowered her head again.
Seeing her mother's increasingly depressed mood, Gan Tian quickly turned to Gan Mingyi and said, "Second Uncle, why don't you stop talking for now?"
Gan Mingyi: "..." Okay.
The midday sun was scorching, making the three of them look like wilted eggplants.
This was the first time Gan Mingyi had been away from home for so long. As he walked, he thought about home: "I wonder how my older brother's popsicles are selling?"
"Don't worry, this isn't the first time my brother has set up a stall. His regular customers all know him, so there won't be any problems," Gan Li said.
More than business, she was worried about whether someone would cause trouble, and whether Gan Mingli could handle it.
However, what she is most worried about now is her belly.
It's all their fault for being so naive. They thought they'd reach the county town by noon at the latest, so they didn't prepare any food. As a result, that unscrupulous driver caused a commotion on the way, delaying them quite a bit. Now, they can't even get a drink of water, let alone lunch.
She didn't drink it, but it was sweet... She glanced at the little girl beside her whose face was red from the sun but who didn't utter a sound of bitterness, and felt a pang of heartache.
After thinking for a moment, she excused herself to use the restroom, slipped into the roadside, found a secluded spot, and poured the supermarket milk into her water bag. When she came out, she casually said to Gan Tian and Gan Mingyi:
"I just remembered I brought some milk. Let's share it."
Gan Mingyi and Gan Tian were already parched, and their eyes lit up when they heard about milk.
Gan Tian took the milk, drank a few sips, and sighed contentedly, "This milk is so delicious."
"Little sister, you're so thoughtful, even bringing milk with you when you go out." Gan Mingyi took the water pouch, but only took a small sip before handing it to Gan Li.
Ganli also drank a few sips, which relieved the dryness in her throat somewhat, but it was still not as thirst-quenching as plain water.
As she silently prayed to reach the county town quickly, she asked Maria in her mind:
[Do you think if I rushed into the Space Supermarket right now, my body would still be able to walk on its own?]
She really wanted to experience that feeling that people often talk about: the body is on the road, but the soul is resting.
However, Maria ruthlessly shattered her illusions.
What are you dreaming about? Hurry up and go, you might still make it in time for dinner.
Ganli immediately deflated like a punctured balloon, drooping her head as she continued walking forward.
Just then, a scream rang in my ears.
Gan Tian suddenly exclaimed, "Mother, Second Uncle, there seems to be someone here!"
