“Ugh…Ugh…”
Chen Yun leaned against the side of the car and vomited continuously. Wen Maidong looked at Chen Yun anxiously, and the worry on his face was extremely obvious.
"What's wrong? Drink some water and get rid of the taste in your mouth."
"Is your stomach feeling better? Is there anything wrong? Otherwise, I'll see if there's a place where I can rest for a day and set off again tomorrow."
Wen Maidong was extremely anxious, and he felt sorry for Shen Yun's pale face. This time, Niuniu had suffered a lot. Who could have imagined that she would have such a strong altitude sickness.
"Or, let's go back! The altitude sickness is too strong, and I'm not well prepared."
I didn't bring any oxygen tanks, and most importantly, I didn't have any herbs to treat it. Who would have thought that I would have altitude sickness? After all, if you don't experience it, you have no idea how your body reacts.
"It's okay, I'm feeling a little better now. I just can't get used to it all of a sudden."
Chen Yun pressed the acupuncture points on her other hand to relieve the pain. She herself hadn't expected her body to be so fragile that she started to experience altitude sickness as soon as she arrived at the plateau.
"Is it true?"
"I'm a doctor myself, shouldn't I be sure? Don't worry! I won't be stubborn."
Shen Yun shook her head. She knew her physical condition well. "Nothing's wrong, don't worry!" Altitude sickness was just her body not being able to handle the high pressure at altitude. There was no problem at all.
"But... look at you now."
"vomit……"
Another dry heave, Shen Yun herself was almost unable to speak out her persistence. Indeed, the wave after wave of reactions was really enough to make people unable to cope. Shen Yun herself did not expect that she would be defeated here.
"Okay, we have to leave now."
After helping Chen Yun into the car, Wen Maidong decided to change direction. Since it seemed like he couldn't go any further, he decided to go in another direction. He didn't believe there wasn't a suitable place. However, first and foremost, he needed to find a place to stay so he could rest and recuperate.
“Actually, I really don’t think it matters!”
"This time, I won't listen to you."
Wen Maidong looked at Shen Yun with a serious expression. He didn't believe what she said. She kept saying that there was no problem, but in fact, the problem was quite serious.
"I saw some smoke coming from cooking ahead, so there must be a house there. Let's find the best one and see if we can find some lodging for a while. I'm worried about you continuing to act so stubbornly."
Wen Maidong said that he absolutely could not bear to see Shen Yun being so stubborn any longer. At this time, she was still stubborn and he didn't know what to say to her. Forget it, forget it, he would arrange everything himself.
Mengshan Village
A car shattered the usual tranquility, and the entire village, young and old, gazed curiously at the massive vehicle before them. Indeed, for them, nothing had ever been seen before. The village was incredibly poor, and in the mountains, they had no chance of fully connecting with the outside world. They had only heard of televisions and electric lights, but had never seen them before.
"Is this a car? The little car that Dad and the others mentioned?"
"It's so big! The sister inside is so beautiful."
Just like the celestial beings my mother had described, they were incredibly beautiful. It was the first time the children had witnessed fairies, and also the first time they realized the difference between them and these two. They were spotless, while they were covered in patches. Everyone was too embarrassed to approach.
"Where is the village chief?"
"I'm going to find the village chief."
The more astute children naturally went home to find the people they trusted most. They figured since the car was coming, there must be something going on, and the village chief would be the best person to talk to. No one spoke Mandarin very well, and only the chief, due to his frequent contact with people in the town and county, spoke Mandarin better than them.
"Where is this place?"
Chen Yun looked at these people in shock. Their clothes were patched, something Chen Yun hadn't seen in a long time. The houses around them were still old-fashioned, and just looking at them gave people a sense of antiquity. The surrounding buildings were different from what they knew, and they naturally knew that they had arrived in the territory of a minority ethnic group.
"This is Mengshan Village. We should have reached the Dulong village."
Wen Maidong looked calm. He had done his homework and knew exactly where he was going. The Dulong people are a hospitable people who have preserved many traditional customs.
"Hello, I am the village chief of Mengshan Village. May I ask if our guests from afar would like to come and rest?"
"Hello, Village Chief. We came here to see if we could find a place to rest. My fiancée is not in good health and has a severe altitude sickness."
Shen Yun ignored the village chief's late arrival and Wen Maidong's conversation with him. She just looked at the children who were circling around her with a kind face. The curiosity on these children's faces and their innocence that had not yet been tainted made Shen Yun feel that it was really good.
"Fairy sister, fairy sister, can you come home with me? I'll ask Dad to make you something delicious."
"My dad is the best. He can make so many delicious dishes."
“My mom makes so many things.”
The few people who were bumping into each other surrounded Chen Yun and made a fuss. They all wanted to bring the fairy sister home to let their parents see if the fairy they were talking about looked like this.
"hehe……"
Shen Yun laughed so hard that she couldn't help laughing. She hadn't expected that these children would react in this way. They asked their parents to make delicious food and give it to her.
“So cute, so cute…”
"Do you like them?" Wen Maidong hugged Chen Yun, showing his possessiveness.
"Not really, I just think children are the cutest in the world. It's just that the children here are more sensible."
She could clearly sense that these children were more sensible than those in the city, because they understood their parents' hardships. This place was too remote and too poor. Shen Yun thought, if the village wanted to become prosperous, it first needed to build roads. A road could boost the local economy, but, like a golden road or a silver bridge, it wasn't so easy to build.
"Okay, let's go to the village chief's house. We've already agreed that we'll stay for three days. If you're still not well, then we'll go back to the capital."
"No, I want to continue."
Shen Yun protested, not wanting to give up easily. She wanted to persevere, confident that her body could adapt to the high altitude climate. Altitude sickness was only temporary and could be overcome.
"Your body isn't suited to your insistence. Believe me, this is the best way."
Wen Maidong said he insisted on his own ideas, even if Chen Yun insisted, it would be useless. Anyway, he would not allow Chen Yun to joke with his body. He could not control the places he could not see, but he had to control the things around him.
