Sure enough, as expected, Tuanzi hadn't gone far when he felt completely drained. Remembering what he'd said not long ago, and not wanting to be proven wrong so quickly, he shouted loudly at his mother:
"Mommy, can we rest for a bit?"
Ye Wanying didn't refuse the suggestion: "Okay, let's eat something first before going upstairs." It was almost lunchtime anyway.
Tuanzi's belly had already started rumbling, so Ye Wanying found a relatively wide patch of grass and spread out the newspapers she had prepared beforehand:
"Come and sit down."
"Okay."
Seeing that the guy was really tired, Ye Wanying used her bag to block the view of the surroundings, took out a few desserts from her space, and then found a bag of hand-shredded beef. Of course, she tore open the packaging before taking it out.
"Sweetie, have some of this first."
Tuanzi looked at the cup-shaped object her mother handed her, sniffed it, and smelled a wonderfully sweet aroma. She couldn't help but ask:
"Mommy, what is this?"
"The corn juice with milk is a little hot, blow on it to cool it down, okay?" This kind of hot drink is very suitable for children. Ye Wanying tried to make it based on the taste she had before.
Tuanzi took a bite, and a strong corn flavor immediately filled her mouth: "Wow, Mom, it's so delicious!"
"Even if it tastes good, you can't drink too much, otherwise you won't be able to eat anything else."
Tuanzi listened to Ye Wanying and put the cup aside after taking a few sips.
Ye Wanying had already found the table she had brought with her and set it on the newspaper. On the table were several plates: one plate contained some roasted meat, another plate contained some fruit, and a plate full of broccoli.
The mother and son ate slowly, knowing that there wouldn't be anyone on the hillside at this time.
After eating about half of it, Tuanzi let out a burp from being so full: "Mommy... I can't eat anymore." There were still two pieces of broccoli left in front of her, but she was too full.
You know, that whole glass of corn juice with 'milk' added was drunk by the guy. With such a small belly, how much more can he eat?
"Then don't eat it, stand up and twist around."
Seeing her son eat until he was stuffed, Ye Wanying couldn't help but chuckle to herself.
This guy always manages to push himself to the limit.
On the other side, poor Gu Yujin was not enjoying himself like the mother and son; he was carrying a heavy backpack weighing dozens of kilograms as he trekked over mountains and valleys.
My stomach was growling with hunger, and my whole body was soaked in sweat.
Unable to hold on any longer, he stopped and took out a steamed bun from his bag to eat.
Who would have thought that just a month ago, Young Master Gu was all the rage in Beijing, but now he's eating steamed buns in the mountains?
I doubt anyone would believe it if they went out!
After finishing a steamed bun, Gu Yujin was no longer so hungry, so he continued walking forward.
I only have six hours left, and I've only covered less than half the distance.
.........
The mother and son, however, had already reached their destination. The little boy, exhausted, didn't even mind the dirt on the ground and sat down on a rock, panting heavily.
"Mommy, I'm so tired."
Upon arriving in Lin, Ye Wanying took out a tent from her bag and set it up. Hearing her son's words beside her, she couldn't help but smile.
"Don't worry, you won't die from exhaustion. There's water over there, go drink some yourself. Mom is a little busy right now."
Tuanzi made an "oh" sound before slowly climbing up from the rock, going to the side of the big bag, finding the water bottle, and taking a few sips of water.
