Xu Dongsheng comforted Zhao Qingyan.
"Don't think too much about it. Losing money is a good thing. As long as your family is safe and sound, that's all that matters."
If you had to pay three thousand taels of silver to save your grandfather from injury, would you be willing to do it?
Zhao Qingyan's big eyes widened.
"How could we bear to part with that? Even if it were just 2 taels, let alone 3,000 taels, we wouldn't let my grandfather suffer like that."
Xu Dongsheng nodded.
"That's right. For things that are completely beyond our control, not getting hurt is lucky."
Besides, there's always uncertainty about which house to buy. After all, nobody has X-ray vision and can see what's going on underground, right?
So it's all about luck, so let's look on the bright side.
Zhao Qingyan nodded.
"Yes, that's true. It's fortunate that my family bought that house. If it had been bought by any other family, I think it would have caused a lot of trouble."
Think about it, such a big house with empty space underneath, full of those things. You can't even catch them if you want to.
Almost all of them are poisonous. If even one of them manages to crawl out, it can cause panic, let alone so many.
Fortunately, my family reacted quickly enough and were willing to abandon their belongings and run away; otherwise, it would have been a disaster.
Xu Dongsheng patted Zhao Qingyan's head.
"Yan'er is right. Who can say that your family wasn't doing charity in disguise that time?"
Well, Zhao Qingyan seems to have been convinced.
"Oh dear, I'm telling you this not to discuss the snake pit and that house, but to tell you that my dad is a bit unlucky, so you'd better stay alert the whole way."
Because you don't know what natural disaster or man-made catastrophe will happen next.
Therefore, you must bring all the necessary items.
For example, umbrellas, raincoats, charcoal, iron pots, tinderboxes, and water.
And the most important thing is weapons, you know?
After Zhao Qingyan finished speaking, Xu Dongsheng touched his arm and said, "I suddenly feel really scared."
Zhao Qingyan smiled radiantly. "Young man, don't worry, I'm rooting for you."
With Zhao Qingyan leading the way, Xu Dongsheng remained vigilant throughout the journey, fearing that some wild animal might suddenly leap out from the roadside.
Zhao Qianci was mentally prepared and knew he was a fragile character, so he was the most relaxed one in the team.
Therefore, after setting off, the old man did not get out of his carriage, but instead lay in the carriage sleeping.
Outside, the sun was blazing, but he was enjoying an ice basin inside the carriage.
They couldn't be more content with their life.
However, the old man underestimated the intensity of the sun. After being cooped up in the carriage for the second day, he suffered from heatstroke.
Seeing the elderly man who had fainted due to heatstroke, Zhao Qingyan found it intriguing. Could this be an attack triggered by the media?
Weren't there all sorts of accidents before? How come she's sick now?
He rummaged through his spatial storage and found some Huoxiang Zhengqi Water, which he then forced down Zhao Qianci's throat.
They continued on their journey as usual, except that there were now two more ice basins in the carriage, and the curtains on the carriage had been lifted up.
Although this will melt the ice basin faster, at least it will allow for ventilation.
Perhaps the Huoxiang Zhengqi Water was too effective, because the old man recovered quickly.
When the old man woke up and found himself wearing shorts and a large t-shirt, he felt terrible.
How could you dress so indecently?
But it was damn cool and comfortable.
After some struggle, the old man still couldn't bear to change his clothes.
Anyway, they were on the road, and no one could see them. So the old man stayed in the car all day.
After Zhao Qianci changed his clothes, Zhao Qingyan ran to Xu Dongsheng's carriage. She wouldn't be so tactless as to see the old man blush.
"Yan'er, is Grandpa having another bout of bad luck?"
Xu Dongsheng was somewhat suspicious.
Zhao Qingyan shook her head.
"It shouldn't be. His bad luck comes from various accidents. This is more like an illness, and it's not serious."
Putting everything else aside, aren't we also using ice basins to cool down?
After about 15 minutes of walking, there will be a grove of trees ahead where we can rest.
"We humans can't stand it sitting in the car, let alone the animals traveling on it."
They soon arrived at the place Zhao Qingyan had mentioned.
After unloading the carriage and checking the surrounding area, they found no snakes, insects, or rodents. For safety reasons, the Zhao family still sprinkled a circle of medicinal powder around the carriage.
The horse was thirsty, so a spare water bucket was taken from the carriage and fed to the horse.
There was a water source nearby, and Zhao Changgeng took his second brother and several nephews to fetch water.
Zhao Minggeng was not allowed to leave his father's side on this journey.
As it was Xu Dongsheng's first time traveling far from home, he naturally had to familiarize himself with the terrain.
Zhao Qingyan took out dried noodles from the carriage.
Actually, it's dried noodles I hoarded in my past life. I boiled them in plain water and then rinsed them with ice-cold mineral water.
The water that has been naturally passed through is kept for drinking, and a lot of ice is added to it.
Cut a few cucumbers, add some fried sauce, and you'll have a bowl of fragrant and refreshing Zhajiangmian (noodles with soybean paste).
In this weather, eating something cold is the most refreshing thing.
When Zhao Qianci saw that all the brats in his family had gone to fetch water, his grandfather finally opened the carriage curtain. A gentle breeze blew by, which made the old man feel incredibly comfortable.
He came down wearing shorts and a tank top, carrying a large palm-leaf fan in his hand.
At first, Zhao Qianci was quite embarrassed, afraid that his granddaughter would misunderstand him as a shameless old man, and he didn't dare to get out of the car.
Zhao Qingyan had her back to Zhao Qianci's carriage.
"Sir, you should get some exercise now. Don't worry, I won't turn back."
Actually, it's just a change in the style of the clothes.
When transplanting rice seedlings, who doesn't expose their thighs? Does anyone actually transplant rice seedlings while wearing pants?
When a man gets tired from working, he takes off his clothes, which only makes him more exposed.
Don't even mention how much you're dressed; I've seen far fewer clothes than this.
If it weren't for the fact that the current environment doesn't allow it, I would also like to wear less clothing.
"Just wait, within three years, I will definitely change the way people dress in the Divine Dragon Kingdom."
While fiddling with the fire in the makeshift stove, Zhao Qingyan tried to persuade Zhao Qianci.
Zhao Qianci had been sitting in the car for too long, and coupled with his previous heatstroke and fever, he now felt weak and unsteady on his feet.
"It's really worth getting off and taking a walk," Zhao Qianci thought, and took the first step to get off the bus.
He was waving a large palm-leaf fan and walking in the circle, much like Tang Sanzang hiding in the circle drawn by Sun Wukong.
Tang Sanzang was disobedient, while Zhao Qianci was afraid of losing his life.
They just kept going around in circles, not daring to take a single step out.
Soon, Zhao Qingyan's noodles were cooked. She rinsed the cooked noodles in ice water and then scooped them into a large soup bowl.
Everything was just right. Zhao Qingyan had just finished getting ready when the person who went to fetch water returned, and it was just the right time for her to wash her hands and eat.
However, when they saw Zhao Qianci's attire, everyone was attracted by his appearance.
Little Zhao Qingbei ran over and even touched it with her little hand.
"Oh, this material feels so comfortable, I want to wear it too."
