We slept in an inn that night; thankfully, we didn't have to sleep in the wilderness.

Because the inn wasn't very big, and adhering to the principle of saving money wherever possible, the couple slept separately, which would have required a lot of explanation. So Jiang Dai and Bai Tian simply slept in the same room.

Juanjuan naturally ended up sleeping next to her mother and father.

The child lay between his parents, dutifully acting as the dividing line between them.

Although Juanjuan didn't understand what the 38th parallel meant, she guessed it was just a line separating her parents.

Juanjuan glanced at her father, who looked listless from motion sickness in the carriage, hesitated for a moment, then reached out her little hand to pat her father's shoulder. She peeked out from Bai Tian's shoulder and looked at him with concern.

"Father, are you feeling better?"

Bai Tian's weak voice drifted from inside: "It would be good if Father fell asleep, but Father can't sleep..."

Juanjuan remained silent, looking helplessly at her mother.

Jiang Dai: "I can't knock your father unconscious!"

Juanjuan: ? ? ?

That's not what she meant!

Bai Tian:? ? ?

That's so brutal!!!

Jiang Dai tied her smooth hair up simply with a strip of cloth, sat half-upright on the bed, and looked at the fellow villager lying dead inside the bed.

"There's still rice porridge on the table. Do you want some? If you don't eat, and then take the carriage again tomorrow, I reckon you might die."

Bai Tian waved his hand, like a wisp of a soul: "If you don't eat, but can drink water, you won't die within seven days."

Jiang Dai tilted her head and looked at Bai Tian, ​​asking, "Want some ice cream? Want some lemonade? Want..."

You're a devil!

Bai Tian let out a weak wail, trying to convey his anger.

Jiang Dai looked at Bai Tian seriously: "Go to sleep, you should dream about it. I wish you good luck tomorrow."

"Do you think I can walk all the way to the capital?"

Bai Tian tried to have some wild ideas.

Jiang Dai: "How about you switch places with your sons tomorrow? You can go down and run around for a while, and then come back up when you're tired."

Bai Tian silently gave a thumbs up, then turned over and went to sleep.

Juanjuan quietly crept up to her mother and asked curiously, "Mom, what's lemonade? And what's ice cream?"

Jiang Dai: ...

After the whole family confessed, they became a bit more unrestrained in their speech, completely forgetting that there was this little guy with a million questions right in front of them.

"Lemons are a sour fruit, and when you soak them in water, you feel refreshed."

"Ice cream is like snow, but it can appear in summer, and it's refreshingly cool when you take a bite."

Jiang Dai wasn't afraid. Anyway, her identity was questionable, and she wasn't from Niantao Village. She had already told the child that she came from a rather far away place.

It's perfectly normal for some of the characters to have never seen anything like it before.

Juanjuan snuggled up to her mother, then lay sprawled on the bed, soft and sweet, like a little cake.

The little cake spoke up: "I want some..."

After a few seconds of eye contact, Jiang Dai, like a "pervert," bent down and began to roughly handle the little one.

"I want to eat it, and Mommy wants to eat it too. How about we have some rolls?"

"No, no, the rolls don't taste good. There's rice porridge over there, there's rice porridge."

Jiang Dai absolutely adores her little girl's cuddly appearance.

Afraid of disturbing Bai Tian, ​​the mother and daughter deliberately kept their voices down. After making a little noise, they fell asleep in each other's arms.

For breakfast, it was still a simple bowl of porridge and side dishes.

Bai Tian, ​​who had rested for a night, was starving. He looked at the food in front of him and pondered for a moment.

Then I still chose to eat.

If I get carsick, I can just throw up!

I'll eat when I want to eat, and vomit when I want to vomit; I'll never compromise myself over such trivial matters.

"Dad, give me some porridge."

Bai Yun'an calmly handed the porridge mixed with medicine to her father.

"Thank you, son."

Bai Tian took it and drank it without any hesitation. After finishing, he smacked his lips and said, "This porridge is a little bitter."
