By the third day, the weather was much hotter than it was half a month ago.

Even on the road, sometimes I felt like the sun was burning my head.

We couldn't walk for more than two hours before we wanted to take a rest because the weather was too hot.

But everyone knows that the situation will only get hotter.

Some children cried while walking because of the heat.

But even so, their parents pulled him forward.

Occasionally let the children sit on the cart for a while.

But it won’t work for a long time, even in a family that loves its children.

It is also impossible to let the child sit on the cart all the time.

The hot weather is physically demanding enough, and adding the weight of a child is also stressful.

Then people on the shuttle bus will become too tired to walk for long.

"Village Chief, please stop for a while. It's really too hot to bear."

Zhao Mingde was also feeling very hot and kept fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan.

But in such a hot day, he still felt the wind from the fan was hot.

"Fellow villagers, hold on a little longer. We are not far from the forest ahead."

"Let's walk a little faster and try to get to the woods over there before noon. That way we'll have a cool place to rest."

Since the village chief had spoken, they had no choice but to agree. Besides, they were not too far from the forest.

After hurrying and hurrying, we finally reached the edge of the forest at noon.

"Oh my, this is really a life-threatening situation."

As soon as we sat down to rest, someone in the team started complaining.

"That's right. If I had known it was so hot outside, I would have died of heat in Zhaojia Village instead of coming out."

That being said, they all knew that if they stayed in Zhaojia Village, they would die.

Zhao He couldn't help but think of her mother-in-law and others who had said they would never leave.

At this time, Zhao Xuan and his son Zhao Jiabao were hiding in the house, unwilling to go out.

After Zhao He left, both father and son were unwilling to work.

Zhao Sanjie's husband has been idle all his life, let alone doing this kind of housework.

As a result, all matters inside and outside the family fell into the hands of Sister Zhao Sanjie.

But fortunately, the weather was hot and the three men didn’t have the energy to cause trouble at home.

All Zhao Sanjie has to do every day is cook.

But even so, she still lived a miserable life every day.

I didn't feel anything when my daughter-in-law was around, after all, she was the one enjoying the good life.

But it’s different now. Not to mention that she has to cook three meals a day by herself, which is a very tiring job.

For example, it’s hot now and we need to light a fire to cook.

Things were not going well to begin with, and the fire in front of them made them even hotter.

As time went on, she became more and more annoyed with these three men.

"Xiaoxuan, can't you help me out a little? If I had known that life would be like this, I would have left with that bitch Zhao He."

Although Zhao Xuan is a mama's boy, that is on the premise that it does not affect his own interests.

Now, he was living off his savings at home, and his resentment, which he had no place to vent, naturally fell on the person who had stopped him from leaving in the first place.

"Mom, don't say that. I wanted to go with He'er at the beginning. If you hadn't stopped me, I don't know how good my life would be now."

Whenever this happened, Sister Zhao San would sit on the ground and cry.

No one paid any attention to her, so she got up dejectedly.

After preparing dinner, she went into the house as usual to call the head of the household to eat.

"Old man, get up, hurry up and eat."

After calling for a long time, Old Zhao just lay on the bed, motionless.

Zhao Sanjie went over and touched him, and found that he was warm.

She didn't think much about it, just thought it was too hot and she had no appetite.

She cooked by herself by the fire in the stove, and even though she felt dizzy and hot, she didn't say anything.

This old man has a stubborn temper.

Until after dinner, when we returned to our room at night.

Old man Zhao maintained the same posture as in the afternoon, without moving.

Zhao Sanjie reached out and touched, only to find that the person had disappeared without her knowing.

It's long gone.

"Son! Son! Come out quickly, your father is gone!"

When Zhao Xuan heard the shouting, he was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses.

He hurriedly put on his shoes and ran out of the house.

When I touched him, I found that my father's body was stiff.

Zhao Xuan turned around and wanted to curse his mother, but at this time, his father's body was right next to him.

I always feel a little creepy.

A hole was dug in the backyard and he was buried hastily.

It's so hot now. If we leave the body overnight, it will probably be infested with insects and rot by tomorrow morning.

The people of Zhaojia Village walked in the woods for an entire afternoon.

Perhaps because it was cooler in the woods than outside, everyone slowed down their pace.

It was almost evening when we were about to leave the forest.

"Fellow villagers, let's stay in the woods tonight."

Naturally, everyone agreed, tidied up their own places and went to rest.

After traveling for nearly a whole day, everyone was exhausted both physically and mentally.

Some people are so tired that they lie down and fall asleep.

In the middle of the night, Wen Qingliu suddenly heard a rustling sound.

She thought it was noisy, so she opened her eyes and looked in the direction of the sound.

Zhao He's eyes were dull as he walked in one direction.

Her daughter cried heart-wrenchingly, but the villagers around seemed not to hear her.

Still sleeping soundly.

Wen Qingliu concealed his aura and walked over quietly.

Before leaving, two ghosts, Hongmei and Qishiyi, were left behind to watch over everyone.

Zhao He walked about two kilometers away from where they were resting.

Sliding down a slope is more like walking than sliding down.

Even though it was a huge slope, Zhao He walked on it as if it were flat ground.

It was as if she was supported by two people who could keep their bodies steady without having to stand on the ground.

But in fact, the difference is that those two are not humans, but two female ghosts.

"Where are you taking her?"

When the pink-clothed female ghost heard the voice, she turned around and stared at Wen Qingliu blankly.

After a long while, she finally showed a panicked look.

"No, no, sister, we are just too bored and want to chat with her."

Another female ghost in green also echoed.

The two female ghosts looked young, probably only about twelve or thirteen years old.

"Chat with her? You are ghosts, why would you chat with a human?"

The two female ghosts looked at each other and sighed.

The green-clad female ghost said, "We have been here for a long time. It is really boring to be alone here every day, just the two of us."

"Today, we felt a very familiar feeling with her, like, mother's feeling."

Her words were ambiguous, and Wen Qingliu was confused.

"We don't know who our mother is. I only remember that my name is Xiaohua and her name is Xiaocao."

The woman in pink was feeling sentimental and lonely, and her tone could not hide her disappointment.

"We've been here a long time and it was fine, but it's been too hot this year."

"We have nowhere to hide, so we can only go out to play at night, but it's still boring. Today, when I heard her coaxing the child, I thought..."

She paused, then spoke again as if she had mustered a lot of courage.

"I just want to see if she can coax us like she would a child."
