"I'll go look for it."
Jingjing herself felt unwell after eating, so she told An'an to wait downstairs while she climbed up a bit. Unfortunately, it was winter, and there weren't many wild fruits left on the mountain. After searching for a long time, she only found a dozen or so dried-up wild fruits, which were edible. The other pretty wild fruits were inedible.
"That's all."
Quietly, she climbed down the hillside, took out wild berries from her pocket, and gave them all to An'an, saying, "Eat them all, and you'll be able to pee more."
The fruit looks a bit like a plum, but smaller and reddish-brown. An'an took a bite and found it to be sweet and slightly gritty, but too dry. The texture was a bit like a jujube. Compared to the bitter leaves, this wild fruit was a real delicacy.
"It's delicious, sister, you should have some too."
An'an shoved the food into Jingjing's mouth. Jingjing swallowed hard, then looked away. "I'm not eating. You've already eaten. Go pee now."
"oh."
An'an thought about the priorities and decided that urinating was the most important thing right now, so she stopped worrying and ate all the dozen or so wild fruits. However, the wild fruits had little flesh and large pits, so there wasn't much flesh in all of them. Moreover, the wild fruits were dry, and An'an felt even thirstier after eating them. She had to chew a few leaves, and her mouth was full of the taste of grass.
"Have you peed yet?"
Quietly waiting, their hearts were filled with anxiety. If they couldn't find a way out soon, dawn would break, and their father and older brother would surely discover that they had slipped out.
An'an kept her head down and didn't say a word, her little hands covering her stomach, her face covered in sweat. Her stomach hurt so much. Jingjing asked a few more times, and An'an couldn't help but groan, saying in pain, "Sister, my stomach hurts..."
"What's wrong? Let me see..."
Jingjing was startled and wanted to rub her younger brother's stomach. In the past, when she and her brother had stomach aches, their grandmother would rub their stomachs and the pain would subside quickly.
"vomit……"
An'an pushed Jingjing's hand away and vomited a bunch of green liquid, all of which was the leaves he had just eaten. But his stomach was hurting more and more, and he couldn't stand up. He rolled around on the ground.
"It hurts so much... Mom... Waaah... I miss Mom..."
An'an cried and called for his mother. All he wanted now was for his mother to hold him and for him to lie in his warm bed. He never wanted to run out in the middle of the night again.
Jingjing was also terrified. She was only a minute older than An'an, and was actually just a five-year-old child. After a moment of stunned silence, Jingjing decisively picked up An'an and carried her on her back.
"Don't be afraid, sister will take you home."
But the thick clothes she was wearing were too bulky, and carrying An'an on her back was too strenuous. She would slip off after a while. Without hesitation, Jingjing took off the thick clothes, leaving only a sweater. She then used a dagger to cut the thick clothes into strips, tied An'an on her back, and huffed and puffed as she walked back the way she came.
This time, unexpectedly, she found her way out of the place where she had gotten lost before and quietly found her way home. However, she was carrying An'an, who was several pounds heavier than herself, and it was very difficult for her to walk. She even rolled down the hillside several times. Fortunately, the vines on the hillside caught her, and the two little ones were not hurt. However, their faces and bodies were covered with thorns.
An'an was better off because she was wearing thick clothes, but Jingjing was only wearing a sweater. The sharp thorns pierced through the clothes and went into her flesh, but she didn't feel the pain. She gritted her teeth and walked back, while An'an on her back had already fainted from the pain.
"Don't sleep, wake up, we're almost home..."
Jingjing was terrified, thinking her younger brother was dead. Although she was exhausted, she gritted her teeth and kept running. She didn't want her brother to die. If she ran faster and got back sooner, her brother wouldn't die.
