Chapter 047: Falling Ill

More than a month later, in Central State, Yuchang Prefecture, a dilapidated temple on the outskirts was filled with emaciated refugees.

Now it's mid-October, and winter has arrived in Central State Yuchang Prefecture. Although there is no snow, the temperature is very low in the mornings and evenings, and there is a kind of frost that looks like snow.

A bout of this frost can make people feel cold to the bone.

The refugees had nothing to protect themselves from the cold, so they huddled together in the temple, lighting fires to keep warm.

In a straw shed at the base of the temple wall, Gu Jinli's family took refuge to keep warm.

After passing Yongtai Prefecture and turning south on the expressway, they headed to Central State, but half of Central State was suffering from drought and was likewise hit by disaster.
