"Horse, hang in there! I remember there's a dilapidated temple ahead where we can rest. If we stop now, we're doomed! Keep going! Get up!"

After saying this, she took out her own pothos leaves from her spatial storage and handed them to the horse, then took out some water to feed it, constantly encouraging the horse.

Seemingly understanding her meaning, the horse drank some water and ate two leaves, then began to move again. Qin Qing was startled at first, then quickly got into the carriage…

He casually handed two more bottles of water into the carriage, drank half of one himself, and the carriage continued its journey under the scorching sun.

After being scorched for most of the day, any normal person would feel uncomfortable, but Qin Qing did not think of having the people in the carriage drive for him. Around 2:30 pm, the sun reached a terrifying 40 degrees Celsius, and Qin Qing finally saw the dilapidated temple. His eyes lit up immediately!

"We've arrived! Keep going, horse, we'll be able to rest soon!"

Upon hearing this, the horse neighed loudly, as if responding to her excitement, and immediately quickened its pace!

Half an hour later, in the dilapidated temple, the whole family sat helplessly in the shade. They hadn't walked much, but everyone was unbearably hot, weak all over, and their faces were flushed.

Qin Qing stopped his horse and quickly took out food and mineral water from his spatial storage. The group drank it down in large gulps, as if they hadn't had water in a long time.

Just then, Peony suddenly cried out, drawing everyone's attention.

"Yueyue? Yueyue, wake up! Mom, something's wrong, Yueyue's forehead is burning hot!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Qing quickly went over and touched her forehead. The burning temperature made her nervous, and she examined her with a serious expression.

"Flushed face, profuse sweating, burning skin, cold and clammy extremities, rapid pulse... Oh no, Yueyue has heatstroke!"

After saying that, she picked up Yueyue and placed her on a pile of hay nearby. She reached out to take off the little girl's clothes, which startled Zhang He, who quickly stopped her and looked at her angrily.

"Mother, what are you doing? Yueyue is a girl!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Qing turned to look at Qin Zifeng. The boy immediately understood what she meant, nodded, and walked towards the shadows around the corner, letting the hot wind lash his cheeks.

Xiao Muxing nervously walked to Xiao Muyue's side, looking at her with concern.

"Grandma, what should we do?"

Qin Qing frowned when she saw Zhang He still holding Xiao Muyue tightly, and quickly pulled her away.

"Quickly remove her from the heat! Yueyue needs to cool down; she can't breathe at all if you keep her wrapped up like that!"

As Qin Qing spoke, she was filled with anxiety, and her tone was no longer as gentle and calm as before! But fortunately, she thought that Zhang He was also worried and flustered, so she didn't say anything too outrageous!

Zhang He was abruptly pulled away, her face not looking too good. She reluctantly let go of Xiao Muyue, and when she saw Qin Qing about to take off her clothes again, she almost reached out to stop her again!

Peony gently pulled her aside and comforted her.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. Yueyue will be fine. Mother's medical skills are excellent. There won't be any problems. Leave it to her."

Upon hearing this, Zhang He glanced at her, nodded slightly, pursed her lips somewhat displeased, and then subtly pulled out her sleeve, watching Qin Qing cool down Xiao Muyue with a complicated expression.

Qin Qing had no time to notice the strange looks in the eyes of the people around her. She reached out and took off Xiao Muyue's clothes, then took out a cool, damp towel from her space and gently placed it on Xiao Muyue's head. Heatstroke patients cannot withstand shaking, so she carefully did every step. Then she took out a bottle of water and fed it to Xiao Muyue in small sips.

The most serious symptom of heatstroke is electrolyte imbalance and loss of a large amount of water in the body. This is especially true for girls like Xiao Muyue, who are not in good physical condition to begin with, and are even less able to tolerate the weather.

Then, she took out a bag of salt, dissolved it in water, and fed it to Xiao Muyue little by little.

Since there were no suitable medications available, she could only try physical cooling methods first. Salt water is more easily absorbed by the body, and once the lost electrolytes are replenished, she will recover quickly.

"Yueyue, just drink some water and you'll be fine. Grandma will feed you."

Xiao Muyue slightly opened her eyes, looking sleepy and uncomfortable, which made Qin Qing feel even more distressed and heartbroken.

After she drank most of the salt water, Xiao Muyue's complexion visibly improved.

Half an hour later, the little girl slowly fell asleep, and her temperature quickly dropped. Qin Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Muxing watched everything she had just done, curious but not daring to disturb her, after all, her own little sister was more important!

Seeing that Qin Qing had handled everything, he then asked a question.

"Grandma wanted to cool down my sister's fever, so why didn't you use the ice from last time?"

Qin Qing looked up when she heard this, smiled at the curiosity and prying look in Mu Xing's eyes.

"Silly child, ice can be used, but it depends on the situation. Yueyue suffered from heatstroke due to the high temperature. Using ice directly would have the opposite effect. The temperature of the towel is just right. So you have to calm down before making any decisions. Everything depends on the situation!"

Xiao Muxing nodded as if she understood, thinking to herself: Oh~ I need to be calmer in the future, or I'll suffer a great loss.

Zhang He watched everything silently from the side, her eyes revealing a complex mix of jealousy, confusion, and disappointment. It was clearly her own child, yet she, as the mother, felt utterly invisible. She was helpless when her child was sick and was even pushed aside. Was she really so superfluous?

Qin Qing looked at Xiao Muyue with such heartache, as if she were Xiao Muyue's real mother and she was just an outsider...

This is different! In her memory, her mother was always selfish and greedy, constantly enslaving her, bullying her, and abusing her children, causing the whole family to dislike her, and Yueyue was often made to cry by her...

Xiao Muxing and her son Muyang even argued with their grandmother multiple times in order to protect their mother from being bullied!

But now, Mu Xing looks at her grandmother with adoration, and when Xiao Mu Yue hears her grandmother's voice, she actually relaxes her eyebrows and obediently drinks the water... When did it all start? Everything is completely different now!

At this moment, her memories began to rewind. Less than a year ago, their village was covered in snow, and all the surviving villagers hid in caves. Her mother, for the sake of her own savings and grain, disregarded the lives of her four children, but because of this, she became a target for others, and was almost beaten to death when they tried to steal her grain…

Suddenly, she opened her eyes wide and stared intently at Qin Qing, her gaze filled with disbelief!

She remembered that her mother had been beaten to death by Wang Dazhuang, and her chest hadn't even risen or fallen! But suddenly, she opened her eyes, as if she were having a final burst of energy before death, and her whole demeanor was different from before!
