My whole family time-traveled! I became a god during my exile in a famine.

Chapter 195 What the Hell
At first, everyone was quite panicked, but they gradually got used to it.

The main reason is that the team leader handled things well, which gave everyone confidence and made them feel that the team leader was very reliable.

If any member of the group experiences heatstroke, a doctor will immediately step forward to administer acupuncture to relieve the symptoms.

In the past few days, the medical team led by Physician Cheng and his son, and Doctor Zhuang, has earned the most points.

He earns almost two points every day, which makes the other group members extremely envious.

Physician Cheng also spent two points to buy some medicinal herbs from Xin Laoliu, and brewed a large pot of summer-cooling soup for everyone for free. The soup was then stored in bamboo tubes, and people could drink a sip or two whenever they felt dizzy or unwell.

All the members of the group were deeply moved by Physician Cheng.

Physician Cheng waved his hands humbly, "How could I possibly buy so many medicinal herbs with just two points? Actually, it's all thanks to Sixth Miss for being so kind to everyone. This medicine is practically a gift, so we should all remember Sixth Miss's kindness."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

The villagers of Zhoucun and others also used the well-preserved bricks, tiles and other items they had collected over the past few days to exchange with Xin Nian for some medicinal herbs to relieve the summer heat, which they then brewed and drank themselves.

These are all common medicinal herbs like honeysuckle and fresh lotus leaves, so Xin Nian certainly wouldn't overcharge others.

She plans to plant medicinal herbs for a few days after finishing this batch of rice; the black soil can't be left idle.

Yesterday, I took my mother to build warehouses again. She built three more in one go, so now she has six five-story warehouses, which makes her very happy.

"When do you think this heat will subside a bit?"

"It's so hot."

The village ruins we found today are quite nice; they're against two walls that are half-burned, providing some shade from the blazing sun.

Now everyone has learned how to scavenge for items in the ruins.

During the lunch break, we searched the ruins first, and then came back to sleep after we finished.

Ideally, you should find glowing stones; giving them to Sixth Sister will get you a lot of things in return.

The group members had a great haul this time, luckily finding a brick kiln. The bricks and stones on the ground were all broken and unusable.

But when they dug through the ruins, they found a cellar. When they went down to take a look, they found a lot of blue bricks.

These were dug out by the team members working together, and there were enough to build several mud houses, so everyone got two points.

The villagers of Zhoucun only found some broken pottery jars and bowls on the ruins and were very envious of the group members' good luck.

Xin Nian ruffled her messy hair, squatted down next to the Crown Prince without any regard for her image, and looked at the map while muttering to herself.

"There used to be a river ahead, but the current situation is unclear. If the river is blocked, we can cross it directly. But we don't know if we'll encounter any danger."

"If we take this detour, it might take two to three more days."

They had finished the food from one of the mule carts, and now the empty mule cart, along with two others, had been taken back to the farm by Xin Nian for rest and repair, and a new mule cart had been brought out.

The main problem was that the mule was very worn out. Although we trimmed its hooves and brushed its fur every day, the ruins made it difficult to walk.

In addition, the weather was too hot, and the livestock were almost sick from the heat. The three mules were very pitiful, panting and groaning with their heads down.

The doctors here can heal people, but they can't treat mules or horses.

Sacrificing one means one less, and Xin Nian felt heartbroken just thinking about it, so she simply took them all back.

They switched to an empty mule cart, which was used exclusively to transport two elderly women and three toddlers.

After several days of testing, it was found that horse-drawn carriages and oxcarts could not be released, as their hooves would break after only a few days of use.

And with such high temperatures, even horses and cows would wilt.

She wanted to get the ox to the frozen wasteland of the north to see if it could be used for farming, but it absolutely couldn't die.

Xin Nian took out two glasses, one for iced orange juice and the other for the Crown Prince, and studied the map while drinking.

“The stream used to be shallow. After being hit by the heavenly fire, the soil was turned upside down, and every step you took left a hole, making it difficult to walk.”

“This river is different; its width and depth are different. Even if it were completely destroyed by the heavenly fire and the river water disappeared entirely, the mud and dirt would definitely make it even more difficult to walk.”

"And it might not be completely burned. I think we can't be lazy, we still have to take a detour." If it were just their team members, Xin Nian would definitely slack off.

I'll just build a spatial barrier bridge across the river. Of course, the area won't be that wide, so I guess I'll have to build it section by section as I go.

Their team members are all agile and quick, and even if something goes wrong, they can correct it in time.

But what about all those elderly, weak, women, children, and misfits in the back...?

If she couldn't make it and had to fall off the barrier, she couldn't bear the responsibility.

It's just a detour, so be it. It's a safer approach to get things done.

"Then I'll discuss it with Uncle Yuan." Xiao Jinzhi smiled and got up. "You go to sleep."

Xin Nian slept soundly again.

She originally wanted to find a sleeping bag to sleep in, but it was too hot, so she gave up.

The only advantage of sleeping outdoors is that there's some natural breeze...

It was tough, but she couldn't let her parents sleep in the wilderness while she happily slept on the farm.

If she could have brought a few more people in, she wouldn't have had to sleep in the wilderness in such a miserable state.

It was close to 6 p.m.

Xin Nian was half asleep when she heard several exclamations beside her.

"Be careful! The beggars are coming! Everyone, protect the grain you have!"

What the hell?

Beggars' Team?

Xin Nian opened her eyes, slowly turned over and sat up, propping herself up with one hand, and looked blankly behind her.

The villagers of Zhoucun have already grabbed their hoes and short sticks, ready to fight.

Xin Wenyuan asked Xiao Xiao to go with him to check the situation.

As soon as the two approached, they heard villagers from Zhoucun shouting, "Stay away from us!"

"Where did you beggars come from?"

That beggar's outfit smells terrible!

The smell could be detected from three miles away.

Although everyone had been traveling for so many days, none of them were clean.

But there's a fundamental difference between all kinds of smelly people...

Xin Wenyuan silently put on a mask, pinched his nose, and looked at these ragged beggars.

These people looked like they had crawled out of a cesspool; they really did stink a bit too much!
"Who are you? Where are you from?" Xin Wenyuan asked the same question that Village Chief Zhou had asked.

The middle-aged man at the head of the group seemed to be on the verge of collapse, screaming hysterically, "We're not beggars!"

His gaze then fell on Xiao Jinzhi, and he rubbed his eyes as if in disbelief, then shouted, "Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

His Highness the Crown Prince silently moved behind Xin Wenyuan and also put on a mask.

"Your Highness, I am Wu Zheng, an Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Rites. Do you still recognize me?"

As he spoke, he took a few steps forward.

"Back off, back off!" Xin Wenyuan was on edge and quickly raised the dry branch in his hand to signal the other party to retreat.

"Wu Zheng?" Madam Yu had someone help her down from the mule cart, and she walked briskly towards her youngest son.

"It really is a member of the Wu family." Upon closer inspection, Madam Yu couldn't help but laugh in exasperation at the sight of their miserable and dilapidated state.

"Grandma!!" Wu Zheng exclaimed as if he had seen a living Buddha, tears welling up in his eyes.
