Yu Bo carried Zhu Yingying on his back as he slowly moved forward along the stream, panting but with a firm stride, each step filled with an exploration of the unknown and a desire for survival.

The two continued their cautious progress, keeping an eye on their surroundings. Suddenly, they discovered some strange traces—something like human footprints, but not quite. This gave them a glimmer of hope: perhaps there really were other humans trapped in this mysterious place.

The sky gradually darkened,

I can't walk anymore, I have to find a place to rest.

Yu Bo put Zhu Yingying by the stream, washed his face and drank water first, then imitated Zhu Yingying before, picked some leaves, rolled them into a tube, filled them with water and gave them to her to drink.

Zhu Yingying: "Thank you."

Yu Bo: "You take a rest here for a while. I'll go find some wild fruits to fill your stomach before it gets dark."

He had walked for half a day without eating anything and had to carry Zhu Yingying on his back, which consumed a lot of energy and he was already hungry.

Zhu Yingying said, "Don't go too far. Be careful not to lose your way back. There should be wild strawberries in the grass by the stream. Pick some and we'll have something to eat first."

Yu Bo thought about it and felt that it would not be a good idea to leave her alone to look for wild fruits, so he buried his head in the grass on the shore to look for wild strawberries.

He had eaten strawberries, but he had never eaten wild strawberries and had never even seen them.

Following Zhu Yingying's instructions, Yu Bo carefully searched the grass for wild strawberries. Soon, he found some. Red, pink, and white. They were similar in shape to strawberries, but much smaller, most barely larger than a thumb.

"Can this be eaten?"

I asked out loud without realizing it.

Zhu Yingying answered him from a distance, "It's edible. My sister said so."

She misses her sister.

I miss the delicious food my sister makes.

My stomach couldn't help but growl.

Yu Bo happily returned to Zhu Yingying with a handful of wild strawberries in one hand, washed them with stream water, and shared this simple food together.

Mm, it’s really sweet. It tastes much better than the strawberries I usually eat, and the flavor is more authentic.

After eating, they decided to find a safe place by the stream to spend the night. Yu Bo built a simple shelter with branches and leaves so that Zhu Yingying could rest in peace.

The forest was unusually quiet at night, with only the sound of the gurgling stream. Yu Bo stayed outside the shelter, vigilantly observing the surroundings.

The sky was dotted with twinkling stars. Yu Bo looked up at the stars, his mind full of thoughts. He didn't know what the future would hold, but he knew he had to protect Zhu Yingying and lead her out of this mysterious place.

Yu Bo has also read many books about time travel and has dreamed of time travel. He has also imagined that he would be like the protagonist in the book, with a golden finger, space, and super powers, and accomplish great things in another world.

But now, seemingly having traveled through time, I don't have any special powers, but instead have a burden. Well, saying "burden" seems a bit inappropriate. Perhaps, I am the burden?

God what does this mean.

Is it a test for yourself?

After all, if he really traveled through time, she would be his only fellow countryman. At least he wouldn't feel lonely.

But if you don’t have your own kind, even if you can call the wind and rain and live forever, you will still be lonely and no one will know who you are.

Yu Bo stayed up all night, and only after making sure there was no danger did he fall asleep leaning against a tree. In his dream, he seemed to see a road leading to the outside world, and at the end of the road was a bright light.
