Very soon, several of the children started showing symptoms of having been poisoned.
Especially Baby Robbie, as his symptoms were the most severe.
His face had turned pale and his body was weak. He started vomiting and getting diarrhea as well.
However, the most miserable part of this all was that there were no latrines anywhere.
Baby Robbie covered his belly, looking as though he was unable to move an inch.
The sisters were extremely worried about him. Sis Three asked, "Baby Robbie, why are your symptoms so severe?"
Even though the sisters were all poisoned as well and experiencing fatigue, they could still walk with some tenacity.
As for Baby Robbie, who was supposedly stronger, he was unable to move the slightest. This made the sisters very worried.
Baby Robbie held onto his stomach, looked at the foggy sky in utter bitterness as he wailed out in agony. "I need the toilet."
The sisters looked at each other. Then, Sis Thirteen
pointed toward one of the bushes and said, "Baby Robbie, you should find a place to solve that issue of yours first."
Baby Robbie looked embarrassed. "Right here? I can't bring myself to poop in the wild like an animal."
Sis Six said, "Then let me carry you on my back."
Baby Robbie staggeringly walked toward Sis Six and she quickly pulled his hand over to carry him on her back.
Sis Four and Sis Five were afraid that Baby Robbie would fall, so the two of them carefully supported Baby Robbie along the way.
Sis Thirteen was in charge of running ahead of them and finding the way.
After walking for quite some time, Sis Thirteen suddenly turned around happily and said, "I see a plume of smoke that looks like it’s coming from a chimney. Someone must be living there, so let's borrow their latrine."
Perhaps it was because they had seen the light at the end of the tunnel, so the children started walking even faster. When they wandered onto a small path in the mountains, whether it was considered their luck or misfortune, they happened to cross paths with Gale who had come out to hunt.
Gale had climbed onto a tall tree and was taking out some bird eggs.
