In the evening, everyone stopped to rest.

Han Xigu grabbed Doctor Liu and asked him to go and see Han Mingzhu immediately, saying that Han Mingzhu had a high fever.

After a while, Han Qingshan found Han Qingyun and asked if there was any antipyretic medicine.

Lu Yanyan gave him two packets, and Han Qingshan left with many thanks.

Chen was worried about Han Huaixi and touched her forehead from time to time.

But it was hot and we had been walking all day, so my body temperature was higher than usual. I couldn't tell whether Han Huaixi had a fever or not, but I just looked at the child who didn't look well.

Mrs. Lu's mother, Mrs. Yu, wanted to ask Doctor Liu to come over. Mrs. Chen was about to agree when she saw Han Huaixi, who seemed to be half asleep. She asked drowsily, "Grandma, where is the fever-reducing patch?"

Chen was shocked.

Yu asked, "What did Xiaoxi say? What is a fever-reducing patch?"

Qin's mother, Mrs. Bai, was also surprised. She had heard of antipyretic drugs but had never heard of antipyretic patches.

"I haven't heard of the fever-reducing patch Xiaoxi mentioned."

Lu Yanyan had just taken the medicine for Han Qingshan, and when he turned around, he saw this scene, and quickly walked forward to hug Han Huaixi.

"Last time when Xiaoxi had a fever, I soaked a towel in cool well water and put it on her forehead. She felt better and named it the fever-reducing patch."

Yu understood and nodded.

"This child is quite clever. She named both mules Huahua and Duoduo, and even named the wet towel a fever-reducing patch. She's quite creative."

Mrs. Bai looked at Han Huaixi's listless appearance and said, "I'll ask Doctor Liu to come over right away."

"Aunt Qin, Doctor Liu is treating Mingzhu. I think Xiaoxi is just a little sleepy. I'll feed her something later. If she's still listless, we can ask Doctor Liu to come over."

Seeing that Yu and Bai wanted to say something, Lu Yanyan asked them to help boil some water.

"This child is all sticky and sticky. She loves to be clean. Mom, can you and my mother-in-law help me boil some hot water so I can wipe her body later. I'll take her over there to get some fresh air first. It's too hot here because everyone is cooking."

Yu checked Han Huaixi's breathing and found it normal, with the temperature of the exhaled gas also normal. He didn't seem to have a fever, so she felt relieved.

"Go ahead. I'll call you when I'm done cooking. There are three of us here."

Lu Yanyan held Han Huaixi and called Han Qingyun over, and the three of them walked to a deserted place.

Lu Yanyan woke up Han Huaixi. Han Huaixi was still drowsy and a little sleepy. Lu Yanyan asked her why she mentioned the fever-reducing patch just now.

"I feel like my head is a bit hot, so I want to find a fever-reducing patch to put on."

Han Qingyun pressed his forehead against Han Huaixi's forehead. It wasn't hot.

"Yanyan, you try it."

Lu Yanyan also tried Han Huaixi's forehead, armpits, chest and back, and they were all normal.

"It doesn't look like a fever. Are you feeling too hot? Xiaoxi, besides feeling a little hot in the head, are you feeling unwell anywhere else?"

Lu Yanyan and Han Huaixi waited for a while, but didn't hear any reply from them. They looked down and saw that Han Huaixi had fallen asleep in Lu Yanyan's arms.

It is not as hot as during the day. Occasionally a breeze blows, which is like scratching an itch through a shoe and cannot relieve the stuffy feeling, but it is much better than during the day.

"This kid always has his wildest fun at this time of year. I was really scared today. That kid is about the same age as Huaiyu. He was beaten and bloody, but he was still stuffing beef jerky into his mouth. It's really pitiful."

In troubled times, human lives are worthless.

Han Qingyun and Lu Yanyan are just ordinary people. They have no way to change the fate of others, and they dare not even show a trace of sympathy.

If those who were forced to flee without taking anything with them are grass, then they are ants.

"Qingyun, do you think we can make it to Luocheng alive?"

Maybe it was because she was on her menstrual period, but Lu Yanyan's mood was fluctuating greatly today. She felt like she was on the verge of collapse. She had never been so difficult as she was now.

Everyone in the village said that Lu Yanyan, who had never suffered any hardship, looked weak, but she could actually travel under the scorching sun every day like the women in the village, without saying a word and never complaining.

Only she herself knew that she just felt that complaining was useless. When she was extremely tired, she wanted to just lie down and never get up again.

However, her husband and mother-in-law are still holding on. Her daughter is not even five years old and has a big secret.

She didn't dare to relax for a moment, for fear that Han Huaixi's secret would be exposed one day and he would be captured as a monster.

And her three other children in this life.

Nine-year-old Han Huaijin walks like an adult every day. During every break, Lu Yanyan can feel that the child can fall asleep at any time, but he still insists on memorizing an article every day.

They didn't bring most of the books from home because they had too much stuff and couldn't fit them all.

Fortunately, Han Qingyun was extremely talented and hardworking, and he memorized all the books at home.

This is how Han Huaijin listened to Han Qingyun's narration every day and recited it himself.

Seven-year-old Han Huaiyu walks on his own most of the time, except for occasionally sitting in the car seat.

The little face, which was originally as white as sheep fat, is now darker.

Even so, she always thought about helping Lu Yanyan and doing what she could.

Knowing that Lu Yanyan was not feeling well, Han Huaiyu used his small body to support Lu Yanyan while walking, worried that she would fall.

Five-year-old Han Huaian, a tiny figure, sat in a carriage packed with other children. He was sweating profusely from the heat, and his eyes were filled with tears that were about to fall.

But every time he met Lu Yanyan's gaze, he would wipe away his tears, bend his eyes into crescents, and tell her that he was not hot and he was fine.

Her parents, brother and sister-in-law in this life, as well as everyone who knew that the road ahead was bleak but still tried to live, all these people made it impossible for her to complain, and she could only grit her teeth and keep up.

But she is not the omnipotent heroine in the novel, nor is she the indomitable Wonder Woman who has been tempered through thousands of trials and tribulations. She is just an ordinary person who gets tired, weak, and wants to give up.

Perhaps only in front of her husband could she dare to face her weakness so frankly.

She had no idea how much longer she could hold on. She just asked, "Can we make it to Los Angeles alive?"

It doesn’t matter whether there is an answer or not. Whether they can or not, they can only keep up with the pace in front of them and keep moving forward.

Han Qingyun hugged Han Huaixi, then freed one hand to hug Lu Yanyan, letting her lean on his shoulder without saying anything.

Han Qingyun understood Lu Yanyan. She was both emotional and rational in nature. Although she was so weak that she seemed like she would collapse at any time, she could always release the greatest vitality.

Only she herself can answer all her confusions, and all I can do is to be the one who listens when she needs to talk.

Outside, Han Qingyun and his wife were enjoying a rare quiet and warm moment, but Han Huaixi in the space felt extremely uncomfortable.

She had never felt so miserable in her life, which was less than five years.

The body in the space was so hot that it seemed to be exploding, but she could feel that the body outside the space was normal.

She wanted to go back to the body outside like she had done before, but she couldn't do it.

Han Huaixi just felt hot and thirsty, and couldn't move.

She wanted to call her parents and grandma, but she didn't have the strength to do so. Even if she did, they wouldn't be able to hear her.

She was really afraid that she would die in the space. Her father, mother, grandmother, and relatives in that world would definitely be very sad.

Han Huaixi felt like a very long time had passed before her body was finally able to move, but it was still very hot.

She ignored Lu Yanyan's advice not to drink frozen water, took a bottle of iced Sprite from the refrigerator, took a lot of effort to unscrew the cap, and began to drink it in big gulps.

After drinking the water, the smoking sensation in her throat finally subsided, and she put her head into the refrigerator again.

She took her head out only when she felt less hot.

She tried to get out again, but still failed.

Han Huaixi was extremely scared. She ran up and down the stairs crying for several times, but still couldn't get out.

A little girl, no more than five years old, curled up on the sofa, trembling and sneezing. Her nose seemed to be blocked, making it difficult to breathe, and her head ached...
