She figured Shanshan's words were just a spooky story.
'Poisonous mushrooms that can kill you? Sounds like something made up to scare kids.'
There's no persuading a stubborn person. Shanshan quickly ran over to Zhang Yunhua's side and focused on picking mushrooms.
Cao Jiajia thought she had scared her off and felt quite smug.
She bent down, her eyes glued to the ground, specifically picking out the most brightly colored mushrooms.
Before she knew it, she had wandered far away from the group.
When she came to her senses and looked around, her heart skipped a beat.
"Huh? Where did everyone go?"
She raised her voice and called out a few more times.
"Auntie Pang! Shanshan!"
But the only response was a faint echo from the valley.
It was the first time she'd ever been in a situation like this. Her heart pounded, and her eyes instantly turned red.
She wanted to go home, but then a thought struck her—which way had she even come from?
