"I'm sorry—I know there's a spring ahead. Once we get there, I'll fill a tube and give it back to you!" the young girl whispered, biting her lip.
"It's okay, we have plenty of water stocked up! Are you still thirsty?" Wang Yongzhu waved her hand, softening her expression, afraid to frighten the young girl.
"No need! No need! I've had enough! Thank you, miss!" the girl said hurriedly, waving her hands.
Then she hugged the bamboo tube to her chest and huddled in a corner, wishing she could curl up into a ball.
Seeing the girl's withered hair and skinny frame, Wang Yongzhu couldn't help asking, "Are you hungry?"
With that, she instructed Jinhoo to take out the food to share with the girl.
The girl, in panic, suddenly stood up, "No! I'm not hungry! You eat!"
No sooner had she spoken than her stomach began to rumble loudly.
The girl's face immediately turned red with embarrassment, wishing she could burrow into the ground.
