The two of them finished a bottle of Coke each. Shen Lianxin felt like she was alive again, but she saw Li Xinghe closed his eyes with a smile on his lips.

Shen Lianxin touched his forehead and found it was frighteningly hot. He had been forcing himself to stay awake all day.

Shen Lianxin put him down, and Li Xinghe opened his eyes and smiled at her, "Sister, I'm fine, I'm just a little sleepy."

Shen Lianxin took out a packet of ibuprofen and poured it directly into Li Xinghe's mouth, then gave him water to drink. Li Xinghe stared at her. Shen Lianxin thought that the child was suffering, so she took out a lollipop and stuffed it into his mouth. Seeing his sister doing this, he wanted to resist but was powerless.

After injecting the medicine, Shen Lianxin took out a thin blanket from the backpack, which was actually the space mall, and covered Li Xinghe with it, then patted him like she was coaxing a child.

"Go to sleep, you'll be fine after some sleep."

Li Xinghe felt a little helpless, yet a little warm. He hadn't received such love for a long time since his sister passed away. He closed his eyes and fell asleep peacefully.

Seeing that Li Xinghe's breathing became even, Shen Lianxin went back to see Sun Xiaoyue and Shen Qingsong. After all, they were family, so she paid special attention to them.

She touched Shen Qingsong's head and found that he was sweating. She was very happy. Sweating was good and it would reduce the fever.

He reached out and touched Sun Xiaoyue again, and Sun Xiaoyue woke up immediately. Seeing that it was Shen Lianxin, she patted her chest in relief.

He sat up and asked, "How is Qingsong?" He reached out and touched the child next to him.

Then he was overjoyed, "Qingsong is sweating!"

Shen Lianxin nodded and quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe Shen Qingsong's sweat. "It will be fine once the fever subsides. If he sweats, try not to let him get blown by the wind. It's easy to catch a cold."

Sun Xiaoyue took the handkerchief and responded repeatedly, "I know. I'll stay with him, Fourth, Fourth Sister."

"Is Qingsong okay now?" Sun Xiaoyue was full of hope.

"You still have to take the main medicine they gave you. The fever has gone down because the antipyretic has worked, which is a good thing, but you still have to observe it, as it may recur."

Sun Xiaoyue's fever also subsided and she had a good sleep. She also felt relieved from the tension and felt much more energetic.

Shen Lianxin secretly gave them bread and milk. They were already sick, and how could they get better if they didn't have enough to eat?

Sun Xiaoyue looked at her with gratitude, her eyes red, and sniffed, "Fourth sister..."

Shen Lianxin patted her hands and said, "Third sister-in-law, there is no need to say more. If you have the strength, you should eat more so that you can take better care of Qingsong."

Sun Xiaoyue didn’t know where Shen Lianxin got the food, but the food was precious, and she was deeply touched that she was willing to give it to them.

As it got darker, Shen Lianxin returned to the place where she had rested before. She found some dry grass not far from Li Xinghe and sat down to rest.

She had used the medicine on several people and it worked for them all, which made her feel a lot more at ease. As long as it was effective, the condition would gradually get better. Shen Lian thought about it and felt much better.

The sky is bright with moon and stars, like a curtain that seems within reach.

I had only seen such a night scene on the prairie in my previous life. It was very beautiful, very beautiful.

It looks like it will be a sunny day tomorrow.

It’s really nice to have sunny days one after another.

Suddenly, Shen Lianxin opened her eyes. Since she came into this world, it had been sunny every day and it had never rained. She had always been worried that the thatched house at home would leak, and she was secretly thankful that there was no rain.

But the sun was shining brightly, so what was to be done with the crops in the fields? The weeds around them were starting to turn yellow due to lack of water.

Although she didn't farm, she couldn't hide when famine struck.

From time to time, patients were heard groaning around, and it was unclear whether they were confused by the fever or felt uncomfortable. This mournful sound brought Shen Lianxin back to her senses.

The current plague has not been resolved yet, so we can’t worry about whether there will be a drought.

Every difficulty comes with success, every step is difficult but you have to take it one step at a time.

Let's take it one step at a time. The key is to get through the current difficulties.

Shen Lianxin slept very soundly that night. She was really tired after being busy all day.

翌日清晨,天光微亮.

Shen Lianxin felt warm all over, and when she turned over, she saw a handsome face smiling at her.

Li Xinghe!

Only then did Shen Lianxin realize that the quilt given to Li Xinghe yesterday was covering her.

Sitting up, Li Xinghe took out a small green fruit from his arms, "Sister, eat this. I found it in the mountains before. It doesn't taste good, but it can fill your stomach."

Shen Lianxin was curious. The people here were not under guard, so why were they allowed to go to the mountains to find food?

Li Xinghe seemed to see through her confusion. "Although we have no food, the officers and soldiers will occasionally take some of those with better physical strength to the mountains to find some food. There isn't much to find, but if we just wait to die, I'm afraid so many people will rebel." When it came to the word "rebellion", Li Xinghe lowered his voice.

Shen Lianxin nodded. Indeed, with so many people, everyone understood that they stayed here to prevent more people from being infected with the disease. Among these people there were also their families. Otherwise, if they were really caught and left to die, they would have rebelled long ago.

It is not easy for the officers and soldiers to guard them. If they really start fighting, these officers and soldiers may not be able to win, so they have to give these people some hope. If there is a real riot and they cannot suppress it, they will not be able to report back and they will die.

Shen Lianxin took the fruit and it looked sour. She took a bite and it was so sour that she almost cried. She spat it out, which made Li Xinghe feel distressed.

Shen Lianxin was a little embarrassed, "Why don't you eat?"

Li Xinghe smiled awkwardly, "I'm not hungry, is it too sour?"

"Is this the only one?"

Li Xinghe nodded, and Shen Lianxin understood. What Li Xinghe felt sorry for was not that she was sour, but that she vomited the only fruit that could fill her stomach.

The fruit had already been bitten, and Shen Lianxin was too embarrassed to give him more. Besides, it was so sour and really didn't taste good.

He took out a loaf of bread from the backpack and handed it to Li Xinghe behind his back.

Li Xinghe was surprised. His elder sister's backpack was like a magic box covered with a layer of cloth. His elder sister could always take out countless supplies from it.

And these things seem to have exceeded the maximum capacity of this backpack.

"Sister! This..."

Shen Lianxin saw his confusion and rolled her eyes at him, "Shut up and don't ask. Eat!"

Li Xinghe blinked his big, bright eyes and stopped talking. He took the bread and took a bite. It was sweet and soft, and even better than the snacks given by the teacher that he had eaten in the academy.

Ajie is a very capable person. The braised pork rice she made before was very delicious, so it seems no surprise that she can make some delicious pastries.

Even though there was something unusual about her, he didn't ask because his sister didn't let him.

Seeing that Li Xinghe was as well-behaved as a child, Shen Lianxin smiled knowingly.

Since we can let them go up the mountain, we can bring food back with justification.

This is a good thing, otherwise she would have been constantly taking out food from this small backpack, and even if Li Xinghe didn't ask, others would have been suspicious.
