That was the third day that Nan Chen and the others had been trapped in the forest.

Only a little food was left so no one else was eating because it had to be saved for the kids.

Despite that, the kids still had to ration their meals because they were running out of food.

For the first time in her life, Ning Ran felt hopeless.

She thought that she had it rough when she had to take care of the kids all on her own, but the true hardship had just begun.

Nothing else mattered when they were struggling to survive.

Dabao could tell that his Mommy was worried so he held her hand and said, “Don't worry, Mommy. Even if we run out of food, we can still eat the fruits in the forest.”

Ning Ran forced a grin and said, “Okay, Mommy won't worry.”

“We won't die, Mommy,” said Erbao who was also trying to comfort her Mommy.

Ning Ran was terrified of hearing the word 'die' so she picked up some bitter fruits and took a couple of bites to distract herself.

“We'll be okay,” Ning Ran encouraged the kids, “We'll get out of here soon.”

It didn't matter how scared she was, Ning Ran needed to give the kids hope.

“Sir Chen is back!” someone called out.

“Dabao! Dabao!” shouted Nan Chen.

“Third Uncle!” replied Dabao loudly.

“I found it! I found the river!” exclaimed Nan Chen even though he was naturally calm, “And there's food there!”

“Really? That's amazing!” said Dabao as he jumped up, “Yay!”

“Get ready, we're leaving now,” ordered Nan Chen, “We'll move over before nightfall.”

One hour later, everyone took off.

Even though the correct path was marked, they still got lost twice.
