As she spoke, the woman reached out and slapped the boy on the back.
The boy was shocked by the force of the palm. Following that, a trace of red seeped out from the corner of his mouth.
The woman seemed to have been used to this since a long time ago, but she also seemed to not have seen the boy's appearance at all. She continued to say coldly, "Are you eating it?"
She turned around and pushed the girl. "You eat too!"
Under the woman's domineering order, the two children half-knelt at the edge of the sand and looked at the yellow sand with their large eyes. After stopping for a while, they slowly stretched out their small hands and actually picked up a handful of sand and placed it in their mouths.
They actually ate it!
There were a few neighbors sitting close to them in the alley. They saw it with their own eyes. The two children really swallowed the sand.
The woman watched with wide eyes as the two children slowly ate the sand.
