"It's cold outside, kid. Be careful not to catch a cold."

"I'll go in and take a look!"

Xu Feng said, took off his shoes, bent down and walked in. He looked at the tent that looked like a small house and touched the quilt.

Xu Feng's eyes rolled around, and he pouted and sighed: "Madam Shen, you are so mean. You slept so well last night and covered me with such a good quilt, but you left me alone in the carriage~"

"Xu Feng, your kindness is really taken for granted. How could you say that to the madam!" Cuihong happened to come over at this time, heard what Xu Feng said, and stood up for Shen Ping.

"You know, my wife didn't sleep all night to take care of you. It took us more than an hour to make this quilt.

Do you think it's good to sleep on the ground? Don't you know how damp the ground is? Madam Shen knew you were sick, so of course she didn't dare let you sleep on the ground~" Cuihong's mouth was crackling like a machine gun.

Shen Ping nodded: "Cuihong is right. Besides, we don't know if your disease is contagious. Before you recover, I'm afraid I'll infect them too."

It’s troublesome enough if one person is sick, and it’s even more troublesome if more people are sick!

Only then did Xu Feng realize that he had wronged Madam Shen. She was so sick that she was confused and didn't know anything. However, she knew that someone was feeding her and wiping her body.

Xu Feng was really ashamed that he had judged others by his own standards. He blushed and said, "Mrs. Shen, I'm sorry. I wronged you!"

Shen Ping smiled: "It's okay, just talk it out! Don't hide anything."

As we were talking, the brown rice porridge was ready. Everyone drank the hot porridge and felt warmer immediately.

Shen Ping's worries were not unfounded. Not long after eating the brown rice porridge, Xu Feng began to feel dizzy again.

Shen Ping's heart skipped a beat. She touched her forehead and found that it was getting hot again.

I didn’t expect that the fever would come back again not long after it subsided. It seems that this virus is too powerful.

Shen Ping quickly took some antipyretic water and gave it to her to drink. She knew that the virus had not been eliminated and the disease would definitely recur.

If it really doesn't work, then use physical methods to reduce the fever and wipe her body with alcohol.

Shen Ping knew that this was not a solution. The most urgent thing was to find an inn as soon as possible. If that didn't work, she would stay in the inn for two more days and wait until Xu Feng got better.

Otherwise, if you don’t get enough rest, it will be bad for your condition.

After breakfast, Shen Ping asked Tiechui to go into the tent to rest before continuing on their journey, but Tiechui was unwilling to do so: "Madam, I can do it!"

"No!" Shen Ping shook her head and refused firmly: "You didn't sleep last night. If we travel again today, what if you get sleepy and we fall down?"

After Shen Ping's repeated requests, Tiechui finally agreed to take a break. During this time, Shen Ping asked Cui Feng and Cui Hong to make some pancakes.

Slowly the sun rose, the temperature increased, and with the fire lit, it suddenly felt much warmer.

After sleeping for about an hour, Tiechui woke up, got up hurriedly, looked at the sun above his head, and said embarrassedly: "Madam, it's all my fault. I accidentally slept for so long."

Shen Ping smiled slightly: "It's okay! We've only slept for an hour. Once you've rested well, we can continue on our journey!"

Cuihong and the others had just prepared dozens of pancakes, boiled water, filled the kettle, and cooked more than a dozen eggs.

Xu Feng's fever had subsided and she was in much better spirits. Except for going to the bathroom, Shen Ping didn't dare let her go down to get some fresh air, in case she caught a cold again.

A few people packed up the tent, tied it to the side of the carriage, and continued on their way.

A few people hurried along the way, occasionally seeing a few houses, but they never saw any big market.

Fortunately, Xu Feng did not have a fever again, and Shen Ping was relieved. As long as everyone is healthy, this is a good thing.

I thought I would reach Yazhou before dark, but I didn't expect that the area within dozens of miles was still endless.

Shen Ping thought she might have to continue camping in the wild at night, but unexpectedly she saw a house before dark.

Through the low courtyard wall, this dilapidated adobe house looks quite spacious. It is estimated that there are at least three or four rooms, and the courtyard gate is a fence gate.

Smoke rose from the house, and Shen Ping knew that someone was living there.

Seeing that there was no end in sight ahead, Shen Ping knew that the situation would probably be the same going forward, so she might as well rest here for a night.

Anyway, there is a house here. Go and ask if you can stay there overnight. Otherwise, you can just give me some money.

"You guys wait here, I'll go down and ask!" Shen Ping said as she got off the carriage.

Although she saw smoke rising from the chimney, Shen Ping saw that the gate was closed through the courtyard wall.

"Is anyone there?" Shen Ping gently knocked on the fence door.

After knocking a few times and seeing no one opening the door, Xu Feng could no longer sit still in the carriage. He jumped off and came to Shen Ping's side. He couldn't help but mutter, "Is there no one in here?"

"There is smoke coming out of the chimney. There must be someone inside." Shen Ping pointed to the roof.

The courtyard gate is nearly six or seven meters away from the main gate, and the main gate is not open, so it is not surprising that the people inside did not hear it.

Xu Feng slammed the fence door with his hands and shouted loudly: "Is anyone there~"

After shouting several times, the door opened and an old woman came out tremblingly. She was estimated to be around 60 years old.

A man with silver hair, hunched back and leaning on a cane, raised his dim eyes, looked outside the courtyard gate, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Who is it?"

"Old man, we are passing by here. It is getting late. Let's see if we can stay here for one night." Shen Ping said loudly.

"Yes! We will only stay for one night and leave tomorrow morning." Xu Feng also interrupted.

As she spoke, the old woman walked tremblingly to the gate of the courtyard, staring at Shen Ping intently with her dim eyes.

Suddenly, the old woman's eyes flashed with a terrifying light when she saw Xu Feng.

He threw away his crutches in an instant, stretched out his dry hands, tightly grasped Xu Feng's shoulders, stared at Xu Feng, and kept muttering: "Too much alike, so much alike!"

"what!!!"

Xu Feng had just recovered from an illness and was still a little weak. He was suddenly grabbed by the old woman and lost his balance. He almost fell and screamed in fright.

Shen Ping was quick to act and quickly held Xu Feng: "Old lady, did you recognize the wrong person? We are from the prefecture!" Shen Ping said as she pulled the old woman's hand away from Xu Feng.

Seeing the old woman staring at him closely, as if she wanted to eat him, it was really scary. Xu Feng quickly hid behind Shen Ping. He stretched out his head and looked at the old woman in front of him curiously.
