She walked for a while longer and vaguely heard the sound of flowing water.
Her heart suddenly leaped with joy. She stopped, listened carefully, and discerned that the sound was coming from behind the forest.
Xia Xiaonuan hurried toward the forest but ran too fast and scratched her foot on a branch. She cried out in pain, lifting her foot to see it was bleeding.
Ignoring the pain, she saw a small river in the distance and quickly walked to the riverside.
As she got closer, she felt a cool breeze. The water in the river was so clear that she could vaguely see the small fish at the bottom.
Xia Xiaonuan drank a few sips of water and washed her face.
She wrapped her feet with pieces of her clothes and remnants of the parachute to temporarily replace her shoes.
Because she was extremely hungry, she found a dry branch by the river and walked along it, stopping whenever she saw fish to madly stick them with the branch.
