After crossing, I surrounded the capital from the countryside

In the following days, as they didn't find a carriage, they traveled deep into the woods for safety reasons, and occasionally they deviated from the route and went in circles.

However, there was no need to worry about food and drink as there was the stock in Shen Qingqing's space and some game caught on the road. It was relatively safe along the way, and there were no wild beasts or people chasing in the deep forest, which was a blessing in disguise.

Before dawn that day, everyone carried their visible luggage, put out the fire and buried it in the ground, and continued to head towards the northern border in the morning sun.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the sun had already risen above our heads, and we were all sweating as we walked through the woods. After a long while, everyone's eyes lit up, and a stream sparkling in the sunlight appeared before their eyes.

Although I have taken water from Shen Qingqing's space these days, it is impossible to wash and dress myself comfortably like by the river.

When Shen Qingsong and others saw the stream, they happily ran a few steps, squatted in front of the stream, scooped up a pool of clear water with both hands and poured it on their faces.

A handful of cool stream water on my face made me feel much more energetic.

"Mom, Qingqing, come here quickly! Come and wash." Shen Qingsong shouted while splashing water on his face.

Xu Nanshu looked at his daughter's hair that was wet with sweat, and touched her hair with heartache.

She took the kettle handed to her by Old Yan, fed Shen Qingqing a few sips, and then walked towards the stream.

"Everyone is tired. There happens to be a water source here, so let's take a rest here. Men and women should wash up separately. We, the grown men, will guard you first. You go wash first." Shen Lingyun sat on a big rock, wiping the sweat from his forehead, and gestured to Xu Nanshuo.

"Okay." Xu Nanshuo and Aunt Li and her daughter washed up at the stream before changing to Shen Lingyun and the others.

Shen Qingqing did not go. After drinking the water, she took a kettle from Old Yan and walked towards Shen Qingyun, who was resting with his eyes closed.

He fed the water bottle in his hand to Shen Qingyun's mouth and watched him drink a few sips before taking it back.

Seeing that his second brother's face was abnormally red, Shen Qingqing reached out and touched his forehead. Feeling the scorching heat from her palm, her heart skipped a beat.

They were in a hurry on the way, and for a moment no one noticed that Shen Qingyun had a fever. Shen Qingyun himself was worried that it would affect everyone's journey, so he endured it and didn't say a word.

Shen Qingqing was a little anxious. In this era, a simple cold could be fatal, not to mention that Shen Qingyun was injured and had a fever, which must have been caused by the wound infection.

Shen Qingqing hurriedly took out antipyretic and anti-inflammatory drugs from the space and gave them to her second brother. She then took out a handkerchief, wet it with water and applied it to his forehead to cool him down physically.

Her hands kept moving, but her tears kept falling. She didn't understand why her second brother still had a fever even though she changed the dressing and took medicine every day.

She thought about how Shen Qingyun was obviously not feeling well but didn't say anything, and felt a little annoyed for a moment: "Second brother, are you stupid? Is the journey more important than you?!"

"You're clearly not feeling well, but you don't know how to say it?!"

"Do you know that people like you are really worrying?!"

"I...I really..."

Hearing Shen Qingqing's angry and choking voice, everyone turned to look at her. Seeing Shen Qingqing's slightly red eyes, following her line of sight, they also saw Shen Qingyun's red face, and everyone was a little anxious for a moment.

No one present knew how to do medicine, including Shen Qingqing, who only knew some basic bandaging. Compared to others, she only had some medicines that were not available in this era.

Seeing this, Shen Lingyun immediately decided to set off and continue on his way. The sooner he got out of the woods, the sooner Shen Qingyun could see a doctor.

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately put away their relaxed mood, packed up their things and continued on their way.
