The pet I raised comes from the second dimension.

After leaving the Water Curtain Cave where the true dragon had passed away, Huang Musong and Alwen led the Doro back, following the stream formed by the waterfall from upstream to downstream.

Previously, golden monkeys led the way, using a map to search for the treasure.

Huang Musong marked the route.

The general direction is confirmed to be from downstream to upstream.

In other words, the way back is simply to follow the stream.

Unfortunately, the situation that the memory fragments had hinted at was still difficult to avoid, and Huang Musong was the first to realize that he was lost!

Walk ten kilometers along the stream.
Dorothy, who was physically weak, sat down to rest, panting heavily.
It casually pulled out the last four small premium cat treats from deep inside its backpack.

Cat treats were originally intended as wet, meat-based food for cats, and are generally not eaten by humans. However, they are actually nutritionally balanced and rich in protein, making them ideal for fitness enthusiasts looking to build muscle. The ingredients are also clean; premium cat treats contain chicken, beef, fish oil, probiotics, and more…

It contains no palatability enhancers or additives, making it clean and hygienic.

Dorothy, being a little animal, especially loves this premium cat treat!
Just like Donas loves Ferrero Rocher chocolates.

After tearing open the cat treat packaging, Dorothy first handed the first cat treat to Doraemon, then gave the second and third cat treats to Donas and Pina respectively, and kept the last one for herself.

"Here you go~"

"A delicious energy bar."

"Eating one is equivalent to eating half a meal!"

After Dorothy finished distributing the cat treats, she showed her friends by eating the meat puree and then rinsing her mouth with water. "I've been searching for treasure in the mountains for the past two days, walking all day long, and my legs are so tired they're practically skinny..."

Leaning against a huge rock by the river, Dorothy muttered to herself as she looked out over the grove of trees where Huang Musong had disappeared into.

It's been more than two hours since we left the Water Curtain Cave.

This is the 13th time that Huang Musong has said he needs to use the restroom.

How can I urinate so much even though I haven't drunk much water?
Frequent urination, urgency, and incomplete emptying of the bladder.

Could the person be sick?

Dorothy took off her glasses, blinked, and recalled the basic health knowledge she had learned from the AI ​​software.

Urine should be a slightly yellowish, translucent color.

Completely clear urine indicates excessive water intake; dark yellow urine indicates insufficient water intake.

Humans urinate an average of once per hour.

But he did.
Worried that he might be sick, Dorothy decided to wait for him to return and ask him about it, so that he could receive timely treatment if he was indeed ill.

Turning her head, Dorothy leaned closer to Doraemon and whispered in his ear.

Upon hearing this, Doraemon hurriedly nodded seriously, patted his chest to indicate that there was no problem: "I..."

Before Dorothy could express that she could use her abilities to challenge the disease at any time, Dorothy quickly covered Dorothy's mouth and shushed her, signaling her not to say it so that Alvin wouldn't hear it.

Being sick seems to be a very embarrassing thing for human beings.
Dorothy believed that Huang Musong should keep it a secret from Alvin.
At least for now, it shouldn't be revealed to Alvin.

Having understood Dorothy's meaning, Dorothy shut her mouth and nodded reliably to indicate that she understood what to do.

Watching her two companions whispering, Donas raised one eyebrow meaningfully and made three teasing "tsk tsk tsk" sounds.

hum~
You guys have something to do without telling me?
Don't blame me for making everyone hungry a little longer!
Donas pondered to herself, feeling her stomach empty, and images of eating hamburgers flashed through her mind.

Most of the food reserves in the tail space were shared with the golden monkey troop.

There were only 10 hamburgers left.
Donas planned to take it out when she was too hungry to walk.

Right now, they still have energy, and Dorothy, Pina, and Doraemon aren't too tired either.

It would be such a waste to eat the last of our food supplies ahead of time...

After pondering for a moment, Donas got up and walked to the riverbank, scooped up a handful of river water to wash her face, and used the coolness to refresh herself.

In the woods, Huang Musong, under the pretext of urinating, wandered around aimlessly, like a headless fly.

The behavior may seem aimless, but it is actually a search for signs.

"This shouldn't have gone wrong!"

“Even if you’ve already made a choice about the memory fragments, it shouldn’t go against scientific logic. How can the marks you made just disappear like that?” Huang Musong stood in front of a tree, carefully observing the trunk to confirm that the marks he had made were indeed gone.

The bark that was peeled off regrown, covering the directional arrows carved into the dermis, so that even if the same piece of bark from the same tree was peeled off again, the mark could not be found.

and,

It wasn't just one marked tree that was like this.
All the trees along the way that had been marked have been completely restored to their original state.

Under such circumstances, Huang Musong realized that "Lost" was probably inevitable. The doro, as well as himself and Alvin, were destined to go hungry due to getting lost and lacking food on their way out of the mountains, according to the deduction of the fragments of memory.

Having to accept reality, Huang Musong returned to the riverbank and decided to tell the four little ones the bad news.

"people?"

When Dorothy saw Huang Musong return, she wanted to ask him if he was feeling unwell, but he interrupted her before she could finish speaking.

Huang Musong waved his hand, telling Dorothy to listen to him first, and that he could tell her what he wanted to say later.

"We're probably lost."

After a pause, Huang Musong sighed and added, "I marked the way when I came to find the treasure, but I haven't seen even a single mark yet. As long as I follow the stream, I can definitely get back if I want to. The problem is how long it will take."

"We don't have much to eat."

Huang Musong pointed out the trouble, glancing out of the corner of his eye at Donas, who had just washed her face, hoping it would be willing to share its food reserves.

Just like Dorothy sharing cat treats with her friends,
Donas should also share a burger with everyone.

With ten hamburgers left, enough for 3-5 days' worth of rations, getting out of the anime world, into the Qinling Mountains, and back to the service area shouldn't be a problem.

Donas knew exactly what she had hidden in the tail space.

Feeling guilty for being glanced at out of the corner of her eye, Donas whistled and pretended not to care about what the other person was saying.

"You want me to take out hamburgers and share them with everyone?" (Donas's inner thoughts)
"Not now! It's not the right time!" (Thoughts)

"I'll get the hamburgers as a last resort when everyone's starving. These are life-saving rations; we absolutely won't touch them unless it's absolutely necessary. We Doro are very good at enduring hunger." (Heartfelt words)

Donas pondered to herself, glancing at Dorothy and then at Pina, before finally fixing her gaze on her.

Pina's race is not Doro.

The doro are good at enduring hunger, but Pina is not so good at it.

If Pina can't hold on any longer, I'll give her a hamburger first, so she doesn't faint from hunger...

After making up her mind, Donas turned her back to Huang Musong, pretending to ignore what he said.

Huang Musong understands the personality of each of his little ones.

Donas,
It rarely offers verbal comfort to anyone.

It has always been about putting things into practice.

When Dorothy or Pina are too hungry to walk, Huang Musong believes that Donas will definitely be generous enough to offer a hamburger to save them from the crisis.

Instead of worrying about the four little ones, I should worry about myself for now.

As humans, we eat more than the doro, and even hamburgers aren't enough for us.

"We still need to find our way back as soon as possible!"

Huang Musong thought to himself, then waved to Duoluo, signaling it to lead its companions on their way.

Just now, people said they were 'lost' and 'there's nothing to eat,' which Duoluo took very seriously.

Getting lost is fine.
Since we'll eventually leave the mountains and forests, getting lost a little longer means we can enjoy the scenery a little longer.

We can't go without food.
Having experienced prolonged hunger, Doraemon refuses to let his companions and others repeat the same mistake as Alvin; the food problem must be solved.

Well……

However, we doro can't perform magic tricks; we can't conjure up delicious food out of thin air.

What should I do?

Doro frowned, his forehead furrowed into a grid shape, as he racked his brains for a solution.

I can't think of a good idea right now.

Doro was worried that the person was already hungry, so she took out the only large apple she had left from her backpack, wiped the dust off the peel with her little hands, and held it up high for him. "Have a piece of apple? Apples are nutritious, and they'll make you feel full." "Hehehe~"

Doro feigned laughter, using his smile to mask his worry; his insincerity made his laughter sound sly.

The laughter just sounded rather strange.
Her big eyes were wide open, her gaze clear, and her pupils reflected the blue sky and white clouds.

Despite having enjoyed a life of comfort for the past six months, Doraemon's innocence and kindness have remained uncorrupted by the utilitarianism of the human world. Although he sometimes tells white lies or no longer states his thoughts so bluntly, Doraemon's essence remains that of a simple and kind-hearted Doro.

Huang Musong nodded, having deciphered Doro's thoughts from its changing expressions, and took the apple, breaking it in half.

Half for Alvin, and the other half for myself.

Huang Musong ate half an apple, peel and core included, and finished it all.

"It's quite sweet!"

"Dolo really knows how to buy things."

“Come on, I’ll carry you. It’ll be faster and save you energy.” Huang Musong said as he bent down to hug Doro, then gestured to Pina not to be shy and let him carry her too.

Pina shook her leg, glanced at Dorothy, and then at Donas.

Scratching your head, take a deep breath, and exhale slowly.

Pina hesitated whether she should trouble Huang Musong.

If you're used to doing things yourself, wouldn't it be too spoiled to need help even to walk?
Unfortunately, there didn't seem to be much food left, so Mr. Huang carried me, which did slow down my hunger a bit.

All the remaining food was given to Boss Huang...

Good steel is used on the blade!

After convincing herself, Pina agreed to be held by Huang Musong. She tried not to move around too much to avoid exhausting Huang Musong's energy and thus conserving their food.

“Pina~”

They were both being hugged, and Doro grinned, showing off his two rows of teeth, and happily called out his partner's name.

Pina sighed and made a shushing gesture to Doraemon, reminding it to talk and move less to conserve its energy.

Doro kept smiling and gave Pina a soft "hmm".

She obediently wrapped her arms around Huang Musong's shoulders.

Doro tried to make things as easy for him as possible.

Dorothy wasn't very athletic to begin with, and after walking for so long her legs were weak, so she sought a hug from Alvin.

With Alwen's physical abilities, she could even carry Huang Musong on her back.

Although Dorothy was heavy, Alvin didn't mind at all and touched her like a plush toy.

Donas, however, did not depend on anyone.

It continued to walk on its own.
Every now and then, he would pick up a few stones and skip them across the water.

And just like that, most of the day passed in the blink of an eye, and the sun set.

After dark, the temperature drops, and the temperature difference between day and night is large.

The doro worked together to set up tents and collect firewood to light a campfire.

The firelight illuminated the camp.

Dorothy, Dorothy, Donas, and Pina sat side by side in front of the campfire, boiling water to drink.

A cool breeze blew by.
The four little ones were shivering with cold at the same time.
Donas immediately took out down jackets from her tail space and draped them over her companions.

Wearing warm clothes, it wasn't too cold after all. Doro sipped some hot water and muttered, "Strange... the seasons change so fast, spring has turned into winter! Huh? It was winter when we came here, does that mean we're about to leave the mountains?"

"Gurgle"

As soon as Doraemon finished speaking, his stomach growled loudly, as if in rebuttal.

The temperature has indeed dropped.
Proof that I am about to leave the world of anime and manga
But it's still a long way off if we want to get out of the Qinling Mountains!
It's important to know that when the Doro entered the Qinling Mountains, they rode wolves for a large portion of the journey. If we convert the running speed of the wolves to the walking speed of the Doro's short legs, that long stretch of road would have taken more than two days to cover, meaning there were at least two more days of travel ahead.

For two days, with food scarce, your stomach will grow hungrier and hungrier.

"Gurgle," "Gurgle," "Gurgle"

Dorothy, Donas, and Pina's stomachs also began to rumble.

Pina is not good at enduring hunger; she must eat when she is hungry, otherwise she will feel unwell and have heart palpitations.

Stand up immediately
Pina staggered toward the riverbank.

His large, bell-like eyes shone brightly.

Something's not right...

Something's definitely not right!

"Why isn't there even half a fish in this huge body of water?" Pina grumbled, scanning the bottom of the water, trying to find even a tiny clam.

Clams are rich in various bacteria, and eating too many can easily cause diarrhea.

Since being taken to a small clinic for diarrhea,
Pina then lost interest in the clam meat.

If you're going to eat something, eat only dried scallops.

But at this moment, Pina's desire to eat clam meat was rekindled; being sick is better than starving to death!

Even so,
The river water was crystal clear, yet there wasn't a single clam.
Pina was so anxious that she scratched her head and cheeks because she couldn't find any food.

Doro had plenty of experience with hunger. It knew that the more food was scarce, the calmer it should be, because anxiety would also consume a lot of energy.

Half of his body was tucked into the small tent.
Doraemon closed his eyes to rest.

Wait patiently for the man (Huang Musong) and Alwen to return from their hunting trip.

"Pina."

"It's so comfortable inside the tent. Drinking warm water can soothe the stomach and relieve the feeling of hunger." Doro tilted his head back and yawned, lazily and comfortably reliving the long-lost feeling of hunger, and recalling the scene when he first met Huang Musong.

That evening, the sky was dark and gloomy, just before the downpour.

I was so hungry and weak.

After finally earning a fresh Oorunji by selling bottles, he was chased by wild dogs on his way back to the bridge. Luckily, he met a person and was protected.

Later, someone took me to eat chicken leg rice, and the chicken legs smelled delicious...

Imagining a chicken leg, Doro couldn't help but smack his lips, as if he were actually eating a chicken leg.

Fighting hunger with fantasy!
This is another little trick that Doraemon has learned.

Dorothy also has her own little tricks to relieve hunger.

Holding her phone, Dorothy was engrossed in reading a downloaded novel chapter, completely forgetting that she was hungry.

Donas has no tricks to fight hunger, and she is definitely hungrier than Dorothy, Pina, and others because she has used up the most energy today.

She didn't rely on Alwen, nor did she let Alwen carry her; she relied entirely on her own strength.

Exhausted, Donas was too tired to even speak.

"Ok!"

"It's time to use the final grain reserves!"

"Everyone, come and eat burgers!"

Donas was so hungry that she quickly raised her tail and took out four hamburgers, one for each person.

Hamburger,

I made it by hand while traveling in Chang'an City a few days ago.

Dorothy, Doraemon, and Pina all recognized the hamburgers.

What they didn't expect was—

—Donas actually had a stockpile of food?

Wow ~
There's food to eat!
Doro's eyes widened, his lips pursed into an "O" shape, and he carefully unwrapped the hamburger wrapper. (End of Chapter)
