"Don't worry, this is the State of Qi, which is different from our Tianlong State. Although it hasn't rained much lately, the weather is still alright, and I believe there are plenty of wild vegetables."

They set off without hesitation! Before dawn the next day, the family rented a horse-drawn carriage and headed to the dense forest on the outskirts of the city…

To Qin Qing's surprise, the temperature today was unusually high, and the ground was visibly cracked!

The dryness in her mouth made her, who was already drowsy, even more uncomfortable.

"Mother, it's so hot today..."

Peony was already having second thoughts. In this kind of weather, even breathing felt scorching hot, let alone the fact that they had set off during the coldest part of the morning.

Qin Qing looked up and saw that the three little ones all had flushed faces, and the sweat on their foreheads had already soaked their collars.

Thinking of this, Qin Qing took out a bottle of purified water with a pained expression. The others couldn't help but look at her in surprise when they saw this. Only Xiao Muxing and Xiao Muyue took the water without a care in the world and drank it in big gulps.

After Peony drank the water, she finally couldn't suppress her curiosity and hesitantly spoke.

"Mother...actually, I want to..."

Qin Qing turned her head, feeling a bit helpless but also relieved. She couldn't very well say that she had traveled through time, could she?

"I don't know either, even if you ask me that. Perhaps it was divine mercy that granted me this ability when I was on the verge of death..."

After saying that, her expression hardened, and she gave a reminder.

"We must not tell anyone now, or we will all be in danger."

As for what the danger is, Peony should know very well without her saying so.

After an hour's journey in the carriage, they finally arrived at the outskirts of the city. Before her eyes was a field overgrown with weeds, lush and green, but some withered areas also caught her eye...

Qin Qing looked up and frowned slightly, gazing at the high sky. It was only five in the morning, yet the sun was already fully up, and the air was already so hot and humid. One could only imagine what the situation would be like later!

The dense forest was a bit cooler, and Qin Qing, carrying a small hoe, led his family deeper into the woods. The most abundant plant there was a wild vegetable called "amaranth".

Little Muxing watched as she picked the wild vegetables and then started searching for them herself, just like her. Little Muxing followed behind her, occasionally running over to dandelions and wildflowers out of curiosity...

Qin Zifeng and Shaoyao didn't know which medicines they could take and which they couldn't, so they could only stand aside blankly until Qin Qing saw a patch of purslane with a smooth surface and small leaves!

Many people may not know that this wild vegetable can only grow in environments with temperatures consistently above 18 degrees Celsius. If combined with a certain level of humidity, purslane will spread like wildfire!

Perhaps because it hadn't rained for a month, the soil and trees still felt slightly damp, and combined with the recent high temperatures, the vast fields of wild vegetables before us were the best proof of that…

But Qin Qing's expression gradually became serious! His brows were tightly furrowed, because purslane is the most common wild vegetable during the dry and hot season.

Combined with the recent heatwave and drought... it seems like it's really coming!

Qin Zifeng was closer to her and quickly noticed the change in Qin Qing's expression, asking in confusion.

"Grandma, is something wrong?"

Qin Qing snapped out of her reverie and subconsciously shook her head to avoid worrying them.

"No, it's nothing."

Then, suppressing her anxiety, she bent down and picked some wild vegetables, and also picked some dandelions from the side, which are the best choice for reducing internal heat!

Meanwhile, the two children and one adult on the other side were having a great time playing among the wildflowers! Seeing this, Qin Qing finally smiled a little, but then a wave of worry washed over her. She had no money, she still had to look for people, and at the same time, Qi might be facing a drought... Just thinking about it gave her a headache!

As noon approached, the family found a large tree to cool off under and sat on the grass to eat lunch. A gentle breeze carried waves of heat, making it hard to feel any joy in going out for a stroll.

Qin Qing took out the steamed buns and some sausages she had bought earlier from her spatial storage, and finally felt a little more confident!

The space was her house, still maintaining the scene from the day she transmigrated. All the furniture was powered, the refrigerator still worked, and the food supplies were replenished daily. It seemed her family could survive without much trouble, but what about the future? They couldn't live on these things forever, could they? And what if the space suddenly stopped working one day…

It's terrifying to think about!

After eating and drinking their fill, Xiao Muyue quickly lay down on the grass and fell fast asleep. Mu Xing also looked tired, obviously having gone to bed late last night and gotten up early today. All of them were quite drowsy.

To avoid being eaten by insects in the grass, Qin Qing picked up Xiao Muyue, and the family lay peacefully on the mat, enjoying a moment of tranquility, if only they could ignore the intrusive heat...

After an unknown amount of time, a blinding ray of light shone on her face, and Qin Qing slowly woke up. Her mind was still foggy and she felt weak, clearly showing symptoms of mild heatstroke.

Thinking of this, she quickly woke up Peony and Qin Zifeng, who were sleeping beside her.

"Peony, we should go, it's already past 1:45 PM!"

It was already past 2 PM. If they went back any later, the shops would be closed, and they wouldn't be able to buy clothes.

The carriage sped along, and the bumps and heat made Qin Qing's throat even drier. Just as she was about to take out some water, a sudden heavy object in her hand almost knocked her over, hitting Xiao Muxing next to her.

She hurriedly lifted it up with all her might, only then noticing the five-liter water bottle in her hand…

She then remembered that her family had already finished the 500ml small bottle today, and all that was left in her space was a large bottle of mineral water.

This made her a little stunned. She then took out a cup from her spatial storage, poured water into it, and handed it to Mu Xing and Mu Yue beside her.

At the same time, a realization dawned on me: the resources in this space are becoming increasingly scarce…

In the afternoon, the carriage arrived at the clothing store. It was not even four o'clock in the afternoon, and several stores had already closed. They quickly picked out a few clothes and went home without even changing.

Fate is so cruel. The carriage rushed by, the sedan chair swayed in the wind, and Qin Qing happened to be sitting nearby, almost missing a sedan chair altogether...

What she didn't see was that the man in the sedan chair just opened the curtain to let in some fresh air, and his eyes clearly saw Qin Qing's profile!

The man's pupils contracted, and his whole body stiffened as if he had been frozen in place. After a moment, he regained his senses, his face filled with disbelief...

What does it feel like to see someone who has already died appear before your eyes again? That's exactly how Liu Qing feels right now!

He never dreamed that his own mother, whom he had bribed the jailer to poison with his own confidant, was still alive and had even appeared in the capital of Qi where he was!

For a moment, all sorts of conspiracy theories flashed through his mind, until he came to his senses!

"Stop! Stop right now!"

On the already sparsely populated street, a loud shout came from a sedan chair. A man with wide eyes suddenly rushed out, his gaze fixed on the carriage that was driving away behind the sedan chair...

"No...this is impossible!"
