I traveled through ancient times to escape famine with my arch-rival, the movie star.

The Shen family did not get too close to the team in front, and maintained a distance of several hundred meters.

There are still the same people in their family, no more.

None of the married sisters or aunts have any intention of coming back.

Shen Youtian left more than ten kilograms of food for his sisters and nieces before setting off with his family, and told them that the next stop would be Yongcheng.

Compared with the anxiety of other women in the family, Shen Ying was full of yearning and curiosity about nature.

It's not because she's brave, but mainly because the other women in the family had their own one-third acre of land in their own village before they got married. If they married someone from the same village after they got married, they would still have the same one-third acre of land. Naturally, they would feel more panicked about the unfamiliar road ahead.

Shen Ying, on the other hand, did not have this shackle and was more appreciative than panicky.

But this leisurely and contented feeling was soon defeated by the high temperature.

She held up a grass ring woven on the road, trying to block some of the scorching sun.

The family's donkey and mule were used to pull the household belongings, two babies, and Grandma Shen, who was not in good health. Occasionally, my second cousin's wife would get on the car to feed the newborn out of sight, and the rest of the people walked on foot.

Shen Ying glanced at the car with resentment.

She has said it many times, no matter how far they can go this time, as long as they bring kitchen utensils, weapons and food, everything else will be fine.

However, the women in the family were reluctant to leave, and even brought out the hardened loofahs, causing the car to be packed. If a few more people had gotten on, the donkey and mule would probably have committed suicide.

Shen Ying took two steps back and took a sip of the sour plum juice in the bamboo tube.

After only an hour's walk, the ice cubes she had deliberately thrown in had long since melted, and the sour plum juice had lost its coolness, tasting like sweet Chinese medicine.

It seems that I need to find an opportunity to change it later. In addition to adding ice cubes, I might as well switch to mint water. At least it can cool my mouth.

After taking two sips with a grin, Shen Ying quickened his pace and returned to the middle of the team.

"You always fall behind when drinking water, don't you feel tired?" Shen's mother scolded her daughter in a bad mood, saying that she was always running around after they set out, causing her to have to pay attention to them every now and then. Please come back, daughter.

Shen Ying sighed: "I put some sugar in the water, but when the weather gets hot, the sugar water doesn't quench my thirst anymore."

This was half true and half false, but Shen's mother didn't doubt it.

After she knew that Shen Ying was not going to give Wen Xiucai anything, she had some money in her hand to buy snacks.

"Don't add sugar to the water next time." After Shen's mother said this, she found that her daughter was looking at her with her mouth slightly open.

Mother Shen touched her face and wondered what was wrong. Was there something dirty on her face? Why was she looking at her like that?

"No, mother, there is nothing dirty on your face. When I heard you say that, I suddenly remembered that if a person, especially someone who is not in good health, suddenly walks a lot and sweats a lot, it is easy to have difficulty breathing and fainting. One way is to drink water with salt and sugar, which can relieve some of the symptoms."

"Who told you that?" Shen's mother had never heard of this saying. She only knew that if you get sunburned on a hot day, you should drink a local herbal tea called Moshicha, or see a doctor.

"Hehe, when my dad and I went to town, we listened to storytellers. Some of their stories were made up, and some happened to people in other places. I thought they were interesting, so I wrote them down."

Mother Shen pointed at her and said, "Since that time you saw through Wen Xiucai, you have become more childish than before."

Shen Ying remained silent, fearing that revealing her true nature again would arouse suspicion.

The team walked for another hour, and someone at home was already retching and had chapped lips. Shen Youtian quickly called a halt, saying they should take a break. "The sun is at the center now, and we can't rush this fast. Let's find a place to rest first. When the sun moves a little, we can start again."

Everyone agrees.

The Shen family looked around and went to the shade of a tree. The men set up the frame, untied the noose, separated the animals from the cart, and also let the donkey and mule loose.

Shen Ying thought it was a good opportunity, said she needed to go to the toilet, and ran away.

I could see the place where the Shen family was resting from afar, but I couldn't see what they were holding in their hands. I thought the distance was about right, so I stopped.

Shen Ying flashed and entered the mall.

Comfortable indoor temperature, a wide variety of merchandise, and a large freezer filled with ice cubes in the milk tea shop!

Time was running out, so Shen Ying quickly filled a bamboo tube with ice and poured in purified water, which was also taken out of the refrigerator. She added ice on top of ice, hoping to slow down the melting of the ice. She patted some mint leaves and threw them in. It smelled really good, a refreshing fragrance.

She doesn't like tasteless water. When she was a star, she had to control her diet in various ways. Now she consumes a lot of energy and doesn't eat greasy food, so drinking a few drinks will not increase her weight.

Shen Ying happily arranged for herself to drink some water. When she passed by the fruit shop, she couldn't resist the temptation of the ice watermelon slices.

The seedless watermelon has a sweet, crisp and juicy taste. After being cut, it is placed in the refrigerator. Its killing power is so great that it can be eaten instantly by someone who has walked for two or three hours in hot weather.

Shen Ying grabbed it and took a few bites. After eating more than half a pound, she reluctantly left the mall.

I'd better stay a little longer, for fear of being stuck in traffic when I come out.

After rinsing her mouth, Shen Ying returned to reality.

The outdoor temperature must have been over 40 degrees, and a layer of plastic film suddenly rushed over and wrapped every inch of Shen Ying's skin. "It's hot."

When will this weather get better?

Shen Ying's guess was correct. Just ten minutes after she left and reappeared, Shen's mother had already started coming in that direction.

Shen Ying squatted down, and when she stood up, she had a few more chrysanthemums in her hands, the kind that can be used to make tea. "Mom! Look what I found!"

When Shen's mother saw her daughter standing up from the ground with something in her hand, she subconsciously took a step back.

Thinking that his daughter was not a two or three-year-old child who knew nothing, nor was she a fool, he steadied his steps and continued forward.

"What good thing is worthy of your shouting? Why did you come out so far? I called you several times just now and you didn't respond."

Shen Ying handed over the dried chrysanthemums: "Mom, I found this. It's so hot and sunny that they dried up without anyone picking them up. You can make tea with this to relieve fatigue and cool down."

Mother Shen took a look and saw that there was still some on the ground, so she simply squatted down and helped dig it up.

The mother and daughter said they were going to the toilet, but they brought back a large bunch of dried chrysanthemums. The expressions of the Shen family members were a little subtle.

"This is good stuff, keep it and put some in the water in the future."

Seeing that everyone started to put dried chrysanthemums in the water, Shen Ying distanced herself from everyone else, dug out her own grass ring, took it apart and weaved a cup holder for the bamboo tube.

Because just now, she felt water vapor appearing on the outside of the bamboo tube. That was caused by the temperature difference inside and outside the bamboo tube. If it was not dealt with, it would be exposed.

Everyone said they were taking a break, but in fact they only set off again after about 40 minutes because my eldest cousin said they could hardly see the team ahead.
