Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

After this battle, the road ahead became much smoother.

The only bad thing was that as the journey progressed, everyone found that there were fewer and fewer mountain products to pick. This was partly due to the large number of refugees who rushed up to pick the products, and partly due to the sharp rise in temperature.

Normally, when Grain Full arrives, there will be more rain and the weather should be hot and humid.

However, after being on the road for a few days, not only did there not be a drop of rain, but even during the day the refugees trudged on the dirt road, sweating profusely, and their clothes became wet in a short while. Even the Lin family, who usually traveled at night and hid during the day, felt the temperature was extremely hot, which made them feel irritable.

Lin Xiaoyue secretly took out the thermometer from the space and took a test.

Ward: Oh my god, the temperature has reached 40 degrees Celsius in the middle of the night. Isn't it enough to fry an egg?

You know, when the air temperature reaches 40 degrees Celsius, the surface temperature will only be higher, almost reaching around 70 degrees. It is difficult for people to adapt at night, not to mention the strong sunlight during the day, which has a huge impact on animals and plants.

No wonder there are more people hiding during the day and coming out at night in recent days.

Lin Xiaoyue had experienced extreme weather during the ten years of the apocalypse. The threat of death to humans was no less than that posed by zombies and was absolutely a devastating disaster.

Although she has now traveled to an imaginary dynasty that has never appeared in history and is far away from the threat of zombies, the abnormally high temperature is enough to arouse her vigilance.

Extremely hot weather is not only a disaster for plants and animals. At the same time, the days become longer and hotter, the water levels in rivers, lakes and seas drop sharply, low-lying areas become swamps, the oceans become turbulent and form tropical hurricanes, heat waves roll in and form sandstorms, land desertification intensifies, and fires burn everything, etc., all of which pose great risks to human life.

To be honest, she didn't want to experience that kind of life worse than death again. Even thinking about it made her feel scared. In this fictional ancient time, it was not much better than the modern time. In fact, due to the low level of medical care, people's survival would only be more difficult.

……

Tonight is another hot night. The Lin family is trudging along the road. Every step is like walking in the desert, and it is difficult to breathe.

In order to save water, the family basically stopped washing and all water was used for eating, drinking and driving. Wave after wave of heat waves made everyone's forehead ooze with sweat, their hair stuck to their ears, their bodies and faces were covered with dust and dirt, no longer as clean and tidy as when they first set out on the road.

In this way, they can blend in with the refugees and avoid being targeted by people with bad intentions.

Of course, there is a difference, that is, their family can at least eat enough quietly, while the refugees can only pick up some sporadic wild vegetables, chew leaves and peel bark, and eat one meal a day.

On the way, we met wave after wave of refugees who were crying and murmuring, "Oh God, please send some water, there is no way to survive." Their cries were heartbreaking, attracting more displaced, hungry and thirsty refugees to cry along with them.

The earth is devastated.

In this time of chaos and famine, the lower class people had to be forced to leave their homeland with their families, live in the wilderness, and suffer from the sufferings of the world in order to have a chance of survival.

In an age where human life is worthless, the number of deaths and injuries has been countless.

Soon, the wandering road was almost drowned in a heavy atmosphere of sadness. Everyone's heart ached slightly, and Miao and Xiaocao also started to cry.

Even Father Lin, who is a man, couldn't help but turn his back secretly and wipe away his tears quietly.

Lin Zhaodi patted Xiao Si in the basket to comfort her. At the same time, she turned around and saw Lin Xiaoyue, who had a numb face and no expression. She asked him with a choked voice, "Aren't you feeling uncomfortable?"

Lin Xiaoyue looked back at her with a 'are you stupid' expression on her face, "Save water, second sister, tears are also water. Isn't crying the same as draining water? If you drain water, don't you need to replenish it?"

Lin Zhaodi was choked, and her expression was indescribable: This reason... is so powerful that it is impossible to refute.

So she silently held back her tears, and patted Xiao Si, who was in the basket and wanted to cry but couldn't, asking her to hold back her tears as well.

Save some water.

Xiao Si felt aggrieved: Second sister is so mean, she won’t even let me cry.

Xiao Si suddenly felt uneasy when he curled his lips and turned his gaze to Xiao Wu, who was counting his fingers happily in the basket next to him.

why?

Aren't they twins?

Aren't we supposed to cry and laugh together?

She was betrayed, Xiao Wu was a traitor... She didn't want to play with Xiao Wu anymore. From now on, she wanted to be beautiful alone. You stinky Xiao Wu, just play with your fingers.

Xiaowu, who was indifferent throughout the whole process, had no idea that Xiaosi had made a beautiful decision on her own without her knowledge. Her calm personality really made her more and more like Lin Xiaoyue.

……

The night air was filled with scorching heat, and every breath was scalding. Sweat beads slid down from the corners of the forehead, gathering into a crystal drop at the chin, swaying as the body moved forward, and finally unable to bear the weight of gravity, dripping onto the dry ground and being absorbed instantly.

Lin Xiaoyue reached into her pocket, took out a small bottle of cooling oil, and applied a few drops to her philtrum, temples, and the back of her neck. After a while, a barely noticeable chill came from those places.

There's no way. There's heat everywhere outside. Although a touch of coolness is not very obvious, it's better than nothing.

He took out a few more and distributed them to everyone, carefully instructing them how to use them.

The Lin family members took a small green glass bottle that looked like jade and applied it to several parts of their bodies according to the instructions of Lin Xiaoyue. Sure enough, after a while, they felt a magical coolness, and their chaotic brains were instantly cleared. There was a cool feeling under the tip of their noses, and that feeling and smell were so intoxicating.

"Is this... mint?" Father Lin asked almost subconsciously.

"Uh..." This stumped Lin Xiaoyue. In order not to expose the Hyundai product, she carefully scraped off the instructions on the bottle with a knife before showing it to everyone. How could she know whether the formula of this thing contained mint ingredients? ? ?

So, she could only scratch her head awkwardly, looking up at the sky and the ground, but not at Old Man Lin, and mumbled perfunctorily.

Fortunately, Father Lin didn't really want to get to the bottom of the matter, and he could vaguely sense that, apart from himself, his wife and daughters seemed to be hiding some secrets from him, but he... had no evidence.

Miao: Nonsense, I can’t tell you about the “gods”, that’s my daughter’s secret.

Lin Zhaodi: Dad is a talkative person. He starts to talk nonsense as soon as he sees someone from the old house. I don't want to tell him.

Xiao Si and Xiao Wu: Don’t say anything, daddy is a big mouth.
