It was around two o'clock in the afternoon and it was very hot. People could hardly breathe, especially in the deep mountains and dense forests.

Although the women and old men did not take off their clothes, they were also wearing single pieces, not wrapped in layers.

The beads of sweat on his forehead also flowed down.

Li Jingshu's method is still good. Take a piece of cloth, wet it, and put it around your neck. It can also keep you cool. But the weather is too hot, and it dries up in a short time.

I didn’t want to waste any more water, so I could only keep wiping the sweat off my face.

Shen Youyou didn't even put on the screen cover because it was too hot. Fortunately, she had some floral water, which was made from alcohol and mint leaves.

As they were walking, Erya asked, "Yoyo, why do you smell like mint?"

Shen Youyou held a small bamboo tube and handed it to Sister Erya: "I made this mosquito repellent. If you like to attract mosquitoes, apply some on yourself."

"Never mind, I'm not afraid of being bitten."

Sister Erya still looked heartless and handed it over.

"You'd better use some. Mosquito bites carry viruses. Apply some to everyone so you don't get sick."

As he spoke, he took out a few bamboo tubes, about the size of small bottles of toilet water, and distributed them to everyone, asking them to apply the lotion as they walked, and it would be best if everyone applied some.

When I set out on my journey, I was so busy that I forgot about the important things. Now that I'm not in a hurry and walking on the mountain road, you can see swarms of mosquitoes, flying around in groups. Only then did I remember to wipe myself.

Doctor Guo took the bamboo tube and smelled it. It smelled like alcohol and a hint of mint. He didn't expect that this thing could also repel mosquitoes.

He applied some on himself, handed it to his grandsons, asked them to apply it, then turned around and took out a small cloth bag from his backpack.

He paused for a moment and waited for Shen Youyou: "Youyou, I see you attract more mosquitoes than others. Here is the mosquito repellent I prepared. Put it in the bamboo basket and the mosquitoes won't come near you."

To be honest, there are too many mosquitoes, and I feel that the homemade mint toilet water can't even stop them from biting me. Hearing these words is like the sound of nature.

"Yeah, thank you, Grandpa Guo."

Shen Youyou took the packet of medicine and held it in her arms, not wanting to put the bamboo basket down.

Doctor Guo was very happy to see the little girl happy.

In a good mood, he explained the medicinal properties of some herbs to Shen Youyou while walking, and Shen Youyou listened carefully.

Shen Zhiqiu looked back. He also heard his father say that Doctor Guo was going to teach his daughter medical skills, and he thought from the bottom of his heart that it would be good for her to learn some medical skills.

Their family has always respected children's choices. Her daughter has never attended any remedial classes, and the extracurricular classes are all because the child is interested in learning.

and said to him: "Dad, I want to learn horse riding, I want to learn painting,"

He and Jingshu just signed him up for school. The child's childhood is so short. If he wants to learn something, he can learn it. If he doesn't want to learn anything, he can just play happily. As long as he works harder and saves more money for the child, he can save a lot of trouble.

If Li Jingshu knew he was thinking about this, he would definitely roll his eyes. Other children with worse grades than his daughter are taking master's and doctoral exams.

Her daughter said, "I'll have fun for two years and then take the exam." She said that after studying for more than ten years, she just wanted to have some fun.

Well, now we are back to the ancient times, so I don’t have to take the exam this time.

Of course, Shen Youyou didn't know what her parents were thinking. Even if she knew, she wouldn't regret it. She might have regretted it when she first traveled through time, wondering why she wanted to travel and ruin her whole family.

Now she doesn't regret it, because she thinks it was destined that the three of them would come to the ancient times to find their grandparents, and they would have a younger brother, too. How wonderful.

This is his younger brother. He is not behaving well in the bamboo basket carried by Erhu, and is always trying to find his father.

Shen Zhiqiu wiped his son's sweat and fed him water.

Shen Luming always wanted to put his chubby little hands around his father's neck and ask him to carry him on his back.

Shen Zhiqiu said helplessly: "Old man, wait until your father recovers from his injury. Now your father is really powerless."

I was whispering to the kid when someone in front of me started shouting, "Little Sanzi, hurry up, there seems to be someone in front of us."

Shen Zhiqiu was shocked: "There are people in the wild mountains? Could they be bandits?"

I kept cursing in my heart, they just managed to survive a pack of wolves and now they encountered bandits, what kind of fate is this!

Everyone heard the shouting and looked into the distance, and saw a figure swaying in the woods ahead.

Before anyone could say anything, they all drew their weapons. There were still several hundred meters to go and it was hard to see clearly.

They seemed to have been spotted over there,

Shen Zhiqiu hurriedly asked his eldest cousin to wave the flag, and the team gradually stopped. They couldn't rush in headfirst and then be in a mess.

Li Quan said, "Son-in-law, Da Hu and I will go take a look. If the situation is not good, I will whistle and you will retreat."

"I will go with you, too."

Gao Shuangxi, the eldest son of Hunter Gao, spoke up.

"No, we'll just take a look, and if anything happens we'll run back."

After rejecting Gao Shuangxi, Li Quan took Dahu to check the situation. The atmosphere in the team was a little tense. The women held weapons and tried to stand next to their children.

I thought if something really happened, I would have to protect my child first.

Shen Zhiqiu cursed inwardly. If it weren't for the fact that this mountain road was relatively flat and the trees on both sides were denser, making it difficult to push a cart through, he would have asked people to turn around and take a detour.

Not long after, Li Quan and his men came back and said, "They are not bandits, but refugees. There are so many of them, and they have nothing to eat or water. They are dying. They will definitely covet our food. What should I do, sir?"

After these words were spoken, everyone felt heavy in their hearts. No one wanted to have a conflict with others. Even if they had weapons, they did not want to use them to attack ordinary people like themselves.

Moreover, their injuries from the last fight have not yet healed, and they would be in danger of losing their lives if a conflict broke out.

As for taking a detour, although there are dense woods on both sides, at least you don't have to fight hard.

"How about we take a detour?" Mr. Shen asked.

Shen Zhiqiu suddenly said, "They have no food or water, right? They don't have much strength either?"

"Yes, there are quite a few people sitting slumped, and they all look unwell."

Shen Zhiqiu's eyes lit up: "Take out the cicada monkey bag and hang it on your body. Let's go this way. I have a plan."

These are pockets made by women. They are not big and one can hold more than one pound of food. They are made for convenience in eating.

Shen Zhiqiu shouted again: "Put on clothes, cover as tightly as possible, put on the cloth hoods, apply toilet water, cover the children tightly, and cover their noses with cloth."

"Third brother, what's wrong? Are you afraid of getting covered in blood?"

Shen Youyou finally discovered that Shen Yuanbao's temper of saying whatever he wanted might be inherited from his father. Just look at what her fourth uncle said. His father couldn't get into trouble.

Shen Zhiqiu was stunned for three seconds: "What do you mean covered in blood? Those are refugees in front of us. Do you know if they have any diseases? They have been suffering from drought for so long.

What do they eat? By then, we can transmit their diseases to us through breathing and mosquito bites.

Spray more alcohol for disinfection, and when you walk over later, don't stop, just keep walking and get through as quickly as possible."
