He Tuo is so hungry.
He doesn't know why, even though dinner was not long ago, he's so hungry that his head feels dizzy—it's a metaphor, but anyway, he's really hungry!
It's a feeling he has never experienced before.
At home sometimes he doesn't want to eat, and his dad just lets him go hungry, but it's different from this agonizing hunger!
He clearly ate a big hawthorn pill!
And he's been walking for fifty minutes plus forty minutes plus ten minutes, almost two hours, and still hasn't seen a taxi!
The road becomes more unfamiliar the further he walks, it's either uphill or downhill...
So tired.
The moon is occasionally obscured by clouds, and the only sound in the wind is the chirping of insects. The distant mountains and forests are pitch black, sometimes accompanied by a couple of horrifying rhythmic bird calls.
