Space Food Storage: Daily Travel

After an hour, everyone continued on their journey.

They were 80 kilometers away from Wu'an Chengtong. If all went well, they should be able to reach the destination in two and a half days.

Everyone walked forward numbly, braving the scorching sun above their heads and the burning earth beneath their feet. The younger children were already tired from making a fuss and were silent.

Adults carried what they could carry on their backs, and placed what could fit on carts. The older men, leaning on wooden sticks, gritted their teeth and followed along. The strong men in the village had a lot to do, not only to maintain order, but also to pull the important things in the house.

Liu Yuhan's feet were sore from walking. When she entered the space, she put two sanitary napkins on the insoles of her shoes, and only then did she feel better after stepping on them.

There was only one official road leading to Wu'an City, so there were a few people scattered around. Some rich people were pulling carriages and hurrying forward with their guards. The village chief asked everyone to walk to the side as much as possible to avoid being hit.

Xiaoshi Village followed Liujia Village all the way without lagging behind.

We walked like this until it was dark, until we could hardly see the road anymore, so we found a flat place, packed up and rested.

Some families built simple stoves and cooked porridge or roasted yams. Even children couldn't stand eating hard, vegetable-based steamed buns every day.

The two village chiefs had very strict requirements for those who were responsible for making fires, and even confiscated all their flints. Those who needed to make fires had to borrow flints from the team leader and return them after use.

When burning a fire, you must leave a fire zone at least three meters apart. When you leave, bury the fire with soil to make sure there is not even a trace of smoke.

If such a severe drought is followed by a fire, it would be like adding insult to injury. People would not even know how they died.

The Liu Shihu brothers set up their makeshift tents. Everyone then secretly ate the stewed rice that Liu Yuhan had cooked in the space in groups. The rice had cooled down a bit, but the taste wasn't too strong.

The children were very satisfied with the meal and felt refreshed after eating it.

Liu Yuhan ate with the adults and told them that she had some cooling tea given by Doctor Liu. She discussed with them whether she could ask the village chief to make some for everyone to drink. The two elders agreed.

Liu Yuhan wanted to cook more food for her aunt, but the two elders said it was not necessary. Yang Nianhua had been doing business for so many years and had stockpiled a lot of food, so he didn't need help at the moment.

The two elders thought that if possible, they should keep their Ni'er's situation a secret from others, even if it was their own daughter.

The two elders repeatedly told the family not to make any noise and eat in silence, and not to tell anyone, otherwise they would not be able to eat. The ears of the other family members were calloused by it, but they still had to say what needed to be said.

Liu Shinan carried a wooden bucket filled with water and walked to the village chief to explain the situation to him. The village chief nodded happily, set up a big stove, set up a big pot, and started to boil the herbs.

Ask Yan to watch the fire. Liu Yuhan, under the pretext of helping out, saw that there wasn't much water, so he secretly added some. The village chief gave another bag of herbs to the head of Xiaoshi Village, asking them to boil it. The head of Xiaoshi Village was very grateful.

After the refreshing and cooling tea is cooked and cooled, people in the village come to collect it according to the number of people in the household. If there are many people in the family, each person can get two big bowls and the whole family can share it.

When everyone realized it was Liu Yuhan who had brought the medicinal soup, they expressed their gratitude to her and to the Liu Daling family for their generosity. It was truly remarkable that they could still produce their own water to boil the medicine in such a water-scarce situation.

After eating and drinking the cooling tea, everyone felt much better and went to rest quickly.

The village chief has already informed us that we must get up an hour earlier and travel even earlier. We can rest for an extra hour at noon when the weather is hottest.

This was also Liu Yuhan's advice to the village chief. There were quite a few people in the village, young and old, and she was really worried that someone would get heatstroke.

Mild and moderate heatstroke can be treated with medication and rest.

If it is a severe heat stroke, it can be fatal in such an environment.

Severe heatstroke is mainly divided into three stages: heat cramps, heat exhaustion and heat stroke.

The initial manifestation of heat cramps is mainly when the human body performs heavy physical labor in a hot environment. The first manifestation is muscle spasm pain, especially pain in the gastrocnemius muscles, followed by muscle pain in other parts of the body such as the hands and feet and abdominal muscle pain.

If this happens, you must stop what you are doing immediately, go to the hospital for treatment, and leave the high-temperature environment. Heat exhaustion most often occurs in the elderly because their body temperature regulation function is reduced and their heat dissipation function may not be as good as that of young people. Once heat exhaustion occurs, there will be excessive sweating and then symptoms of shock, such as dizziness, pale face, and cold limbs. If this happens, you must go to the hospital for strong fluid support.

If the patient does not take it seriously at this time, stays at home, or waits for rescue workers to arrive before seeking treatment, the patient is likely to develop into the final stage, which is also the most serious stage of heat stroke.

Heat stroke refers to the destruction of the body's temperature center, resulting in persistent high fever, with body temperature generally above 41°C. Not only will the body temperature remain high, but other organs in the body, such as the heart, liver, kidneys, brain, etc. will also suffer sequential damage under high temperature conditions and experience functional failure.

Liu Yuhan didn't want to see that scene. Born under the red flag, she believed that all lives were equal. Even if she traveled back to this ancient time, ordinary people's lives were as cheap as grass.

Tonight, Liu Yuhan "slept" again, sandwiched between Liu and Old Lady Jiang. That's right, she entered the space again and told her grandmother and mother to sleep, saying she would wake up in a few hours and not to worry.

She had to be busy in the space, practicing sword skills and preparing food for tomorrow.

Finally, she sets the alarm and sleeps for at least six hours to ensure she gets enough sleep and energy.

At 3:00 AM, with several large torches lit, everyone set out on their journey, still bleary-eyed. The children they couldn't wake up were carried on their backs. They continued walking for nearly an hour and a half before stopping for breakfast. After a quarter of an hour's rest, they continued on their journey.

They walked and stopped like this, and took a two-hour break near noon. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and lay down on the ground without any manners. After resting for a while, they found a suitable place to set up the straw mat.

Everyone can take a nap for two hours to conserve their energy. The village chief informed us that we have to walk until 9pm in the evening before we can rest.

Everyone either ate vegetable steamed buns or soaked previously fried flour in boiling water.

Liu Yuhan's family ate steamed buns and each had an egg.

Xiao Si and Xiao Wu were holding steamed buns in their mouths, their heads nodding, and their family wanted to laugh. Liu Sinan and his wife took them to bed, and after eating, everyone quickly rested.

Liu Shi watched over her daughter while she rested. Liu Yuhan entered the space and prepared dinner first. Today it was pork ribs with rice and potatoes, and egg and cabbage soup.

Speaking of potatoes, they were growing well in the space. Other vegetables were also green and lush. The rice paddies a little further away were already heading, and would be ready for harvest in a month.

Liu Yuhan left the space after finishing her work. She didn't dare to stay there for too long during the day. She didn't know the situation outside. If something happened suddenly, her mother would have to carry her on her back.

Her original body wasn't short. She measured herself in the space and was 1 meters tall. The problem was that she hadn't had her period yet, so her height should still be a bit higher. Thinking of the scene where she was unconscious and being carried away...

The break is over, ready to go.

Suddenly, I heard a panicked cry from behind me, "Niu Dan Niu Dan, what happened to you Niu Dan, my son...someone come and save my son..."

The shouting came from Xiaoshi Village behind them. Liu Yuhan stood up and went to see what was happening with the village chief and his parents.

I saw a child about four or five years old, who was unconscious, breathing rapidly, with a flushed face and sweat all over his face, which were symptoms of heatstroke.

Liu Yuhan walked up and said a few words to the anxious couple, then reached out and touched the child's forehead, which was indeed very hot.

Tell the woman to move the child to a cool place, undress him, and wet two cloths, one on his forehead and the other on his body. Then, fan him with a palm-leaf fan to cool him down first.

Liu Yuhan took out the water bag containing Huoqizheng perfume from her waist and told the child's parents that it contained medicinal herbs for relieving heat, and it was up to them to decide whether to give it to the child. The couple nodded hurriedly. They followed Liu Yuhan's instructions and found that the child's complexion looked better.

Asking them to lift up the child's upper body, Liu Yuhan grabbed the child's chin with one hand, forced him to open his mouth, and slowly fed him the Zhengqi water little by little, about the amount of one bottle.

Tell the couple that the child will wake up in about half an hour or an hour and ask them to continue wiping the child's body until it is no longer burning hot.

The couple held their child and thanked them repeatedly with gratitude. The people around them praised them one after another, making Liu Yuhan feel embarrassed.

The village chief, Liu Shinan, stood nearby, feeling very proud. This was his beloved niece (daughter).
