At least the terrain here is relatively high. No matter how heavy the rain is, it will not be flooded here, but eating is a problem.

Xu Qiyue is not afraid, because there is endless food in her space.

But now that I'm living with the Tan family, it's not like that to suddenly pull it out of thin air.

He and Xu Qiyue looked at each other, as if they had known each other for a long time, and they stood up in tacit understanding.

Xiao Beihan looked at Shen Ning and said, "Mother, Yue'er and I went to the donkey cart to get some things. We will be back soon."

The donkey cart is in a shed with only a roof on the left hand side of the cave.

Shen Ning nodded and told the two of them to pay attention to safety.

The two put on their raincoats and walked to the donkey cart. They pretended for a while, then unloaded various things from the donkey cart and put them directly into the cave.

Upon seeing this, the Tan family members also walked to the cave to help move the unknown items wrapped in oilcloth inside.

After moving, I sat quietly with my family again.

It was windy and rainy outside, and all the clothes on the Tan family were soaked.

The youngest, Tan Ling'er, seemed to be infected with the cold and sneezed several times, and now she fell asleep.

Her mother, Chen Ruru, kept hugging her with red eyes, but Tan's family had no other choice but to be anxious.

Xu Qiyue opened one of the boxes without saying anything and poured out the charcoal.

It was raining heavily, and the dry firewood branches outside were soaked, so it was impossible to burn them. The only reason was that it was charcoal purchased in the town and could be used in practical applications.

As soon as the flint was used, the charcoal started to burn, and the temperature inside the cave instantly rose a lot.

"Aunts, please dry your clothes first to prevent your children from catching a cold." Xu Qiyue said.

The Tan family looked at Xu Qiyue in disbelief, was she talking to them?

The old lady of the Tan family was the first to react, "Thank you so much, madam. I want to thank you on behalf of our Tan family."

She is sincerely grateful. Everyone is willing to do the icing on the cake, and those who help in times of need are even more precious.

Xu Qiyue also lit a fire farther outside, and held an opaque cloth with branches to separate the two fires inside and outside.

When everyone saw what Xu Qiyue did, they understood what it meant.

All the men in the cave automatically walked outside separated by cloth.

Only the female relatives inside can take off their soaked clothes and dry them.

Xu Qiyue touched Tan Linger's forehead again, but for just a moment, she took her hand back. It was too hot and she already had a serious fever.

She took out a pill from her sleeve and said:

"Auntie, your daughter has already developed a high fever. I know a little bit of the Qihuang technique. If you trust me, give her this pill."

Chen Ruru glanced at her mother-in-law, and when Mrs. Tan nodded, she took the pills and said thank you repeatedly.

In this era of shortage of medical treatment and medicine, infected wind and cold can lead to high fever without medical treatment, but it can be fatal.

Soon after Tan Linger took the pill, she broke out in sweat and her body temperature slowly dropped.

At this time, the clothes of the female family members had also been dried. After everyone had put on their clothes, Xu Qiyue put away the piece of cloth in the middle.

Tan Bin immediately ran over and asked his Chen Ruru, "How is my daughter?"

He could vaguely hear the high fever and taking medicine outside just now, but the situation was special and he did not dare to go inside rashly, so he could only wait anxiously outside.

"It's okay, the fever has subsided." Chen Ruru breathed a sigh of relief and carefully wiped the sweat from Tan Linger's forehead with her sleeves.

After Tan Bin found out, he walked to Xu Qiyue's side and knelt down directly.

Xu Qiyue was so frightened that she staggered and hurriedly helped him up and said, "What are you doing? Get up quickly."

Tan Bin stood up, bowed again and said, "Thank you, Madam, for your helping hand, which saved my daughter's life. The grace of saving my life will never be forgotten. I will be useful in the future, so just say it."

Mrs. Tan looked at her son with admiration.

It is the behavior of a gentleman to repay kindness.

The Tan family also cast grateful glances. Tan Linger is a very well-behaved child and is usually well liked by her elders.

If he died on the road to exile because of a cold wind, it would be a really sad thing, and the Tan family would also live with guilt.

"It's just a little effort. There's no need to be so polite. Just take good care of your children."

Xu Qiyue didn't intend to say too many words. No matter how many good words she said, they would be insignificant without actual actions.

Many things are often more useful when done than said.

Tan Bin said "Hey." He returned to the side where the Tan family was sitting.

He also knew in his heart that Mrs. Xiao, Fourth Young Master, might not let down her guard against him or even the Tan family for a while.

But time is coming, and time will tell people's hearts. He has always believed in treating people sincerely, and one day others will still believe in him.

At this time, Gao Dashan walked in wearing a raincoat and saw that it was warm inside the cave. Everyone's clothes had been dried. He also saw two piles of charcoal fire on the ground.

Then he asked sheepishly: "General Xiao, do you still have charcoal?"

Xiao Beihan looked back at the box on the ground, walked over and moved the box over.

"There are still some, Mr. Zhou can take them and use them first."

"The young lady is well prepared. She even bought charcoal. Thank you very much."

He couldn't help but praise in his heart that Xu Qiyue was so smart that she prepared charcoal on a hot day and actually used it.

This damn weather, I don’t know why it got cold after it rained. The officials who were now soaked were shivering from the cold.

After Gao Dashan moved the charcoal to the next door, he lit a fire.

Zhou Chenghai then ordered him to mix some charcoal and give it to the third cave for the exiles.

He didn't want these people to freeze to death in the cave before they reached their destination.

At this time, Xu Qiyue was standing at the door, and she also felt that the temperature outside was obviously cooling down.

On the surface, he seems to be admiring the rain scene, but his consciousness is already asking Xiao Shipai:

"Tell me, have you missed something? Besides the rain these days, why has the temperature dropped so much?"

Xiao Shipai was trembling a little, and Sister Yue looked angry. She looked terrible when she was angry.
