——————
In the middle of the night, Yan Jinsu developed a fever, and Xie Jingchen held his little wife anxiously, daring not to close his eyes for the rest of the night.
From time to time, he used his large hand to feel her forehead and back, and only relaxed a bit after confirming that she started to sweat and her temperature gradually decreased after taking medicine.
During this time, while his little wife was sleeping soundly, Xie Jingchen carefully changed her into warmer underclothes.
In order not to wake her, Xie Jingchen moved extremely gently.
Just before dawn, Yan Jinsu’s temperature finally completely subsided. Considering the outdoor temperature was already below ten degrees and his little wife’s physical condition, Xie Jingchen decided it was best to wait until the sun passed eight or nine o’clock and the fog cleared before taking action.
Although she had taken medicine, his little wife never quite woke up fully, yet whether she was somewhat conscious or not, she still didn’t sleep very soundly.
During this time, Xie Jingchen held his little wife and continued to rest uneasily to conserve energy.
Yan Jinsu must have caught cold while her little face was pressed against Xie Jingchen’s sweaty neck, and given her poor physical condition, it wasn’t surprising that she would develop a fever.
Had Xie Jingchen not known how frail Yan Jinsu’s constitution was, he wouldn’t have had the foresight to prepare a small cave as a foothold!
The next day, although it was already nine o’clock, the sunlight was not very sufficient!
Xie Jingchen couldn’t guess the weather as they were shrouded in thick fog and suspended amid a deep abyss, finding themselves in a dilemma!
Thinking about Yan Jinsu’s fever, Xie Jingchen finally decided that it was best to return to the ground early.
Otherwise, if it began to rain and they turned back, he would be helpless if his wife developed a fever again in the middle of the night!
With that thought, Xie Jingchen gently shook his still groggy little wife, let her wash up briefly, and after having a bowl of hot Ginger Soup, they solved their personal elimination problems before Xie Jingchen wrapped his little wife up like a rice dumpling again.
This time, fearing the rain, he also put raincoats over their outer garments, which Yan Jinsu had brought.
No matter what, he must not let Yan Jinsu catch a chill from the rain again.
Xie Jingchen carried his beloved on his back and once again geared up to climb upward.
Knowing the gloomy weather overhead, Xie Jingchen felt a pressure in his heart, and his climbing speed increased. Yan Jinsu, after having breakfast, was compelled by Xie Jingchen to drink a cup of Spirit Core Water and then heavily fell asleep on his back.
She didn’t even know that Xie Jingchen, carrying her, had encountered danger.
It was a three-meter-long Python, possibly awakened from hibernation due to the rainy season or something else, and upon suddenly seeing Xie Jingchen, it opened its massive jaws intending to bite him!
Fortunately, Xie Jingchen was quick and nimble, taking out a 54-style pistol from his Space and shot its snake head.
Climbing up to this point, the sky was already darkening. Xie Jingchen hadn’t even clearly seen what type of snake it was; he only made sure he hit its brain and added another shot at its vital point before continuing to climb upwards without looking back.
The higher they went, the moister the air became.
Before even reaching the ground, more flying insects appeared nearby. Xie Jingchen was the type of man who remained composed, especially in emergencies.
