In the afternoon, the sun was a little strong, making his mouth dry and thirsty. Even if he was hungry, he really could not swallow the dry bread.
Hence, he took out the ham with heartache and took a bite to allay his hunger.
Usually, it was not that he had not walked the mountain roads, but after all, a child's physical strength was limited, and so was his willpower.
However, he had a firm belief in his heart: to find the way home and return to his mother's side!
Otherwise, his mother would be worried sick!
He could not let his mother worry!
He must pull himself together!
Just like that, the little guy supported his tired body, hugged the little dry food left, and walked until the sky turned dark.
The sky gradually darkened.
He was so tired that his head was dizzy, and his clothes were drenched in sweat. At night, the temperature suddenly dropped sharply, and the wind also became stronger. When it blew on his body, the chill came in waves, and the pores on his skin shrank.
Chu Xiao Bao did not know how long he walked until the sky turned dark. Finally, he could not walk anymore. In addition, it was late, so he found a cleaner place, sat up, and curled his body into a small ball to avoid the wind.
His heel was in terrible pain. He took off his shoes and realized that a layer of skin on his heel was abraded. That place was painful even when touched.
He walked for the whole day, and in the end, he was limping.
Chu Xiao Bao felt a wave of sadness, and his nose twitched. He felt that he was really pitiful to be left alone in the wilderness, and he did not know when he would be able to walk back to the county.
He took out the dry food from his trouser pocket. There was only half of the ham left, and the bread had been wiped out in the evening.
He hugged the ham and was about to gnaw on it, but a few whimpering sounds came from the side.
He was shocked, and turned back to look vigilantly, only to realize that it was a dirty little white dog. It was thin and weak, and looked very young. Its originally snow-white fur was now dirty and gray, but that pair of innocent and pure eyes, set against the moonlight, were bright and lively.
The little dog's eyes stared fixedly at the ham in his hand. This little dog was probably hiding here, as a dog's nose was more sensitive. It smelled the fragrance of the ham, and so it walked over.
Chu Xiao Bao saw the little dog staring at the ham in his hand, licking it with its tongue carefully, as if it was not brave enough, and actually did not dare to go forward.
Seeing its skinny appearance, he could not help but feel a little heartache!
But now, he was in trouble!
He only had this little food left!
After eating it, there would be no more!
Moreover, he was so hungry that he couldn't take it anymore. He was using the empty fort strategy. This little bit of food wasn't enough to fill him up!
"Sorry!" The boy's heart ached as he apologized. "I'm hungry, too; if not, I'll let you have this piece of ham!"
The little dog naturally could not understand human language. It tilted its head and continued to stare at that piece of ham, and from time to time, it sized him up, as if it was begging for alms. That pair of innocent eyes was hard to reject.
Chu Xiao Bao simply did not look at it. He steeled his heart and turned his head away. Just as he was about to gnaw, he heard another whimper beside him. He looked over again. The little dog was probably starving, and in the end, it actually laid down not far away from him, still looking at him helplessly. Its aggrieved look really made one's heart ache!
