After resolving Wang Dadan's motion sickness and the difficult river crossing, the Gale Camp continued its march toward the frontier. At that moment, the sun hung high in the sky, and its scorching rays beat down ruthlessly upon the earth, as if determined to evaporate everything in the world. The soldiers trudged onward under the blazing sun, their clothes soaked with sweat that streamed down their cheeks and armor, dripping onto the dry ground and instantly vanishing without a trace.
Wang Dadan lay on the carriage. Although the ginger slices had somewhat eased his motion sickness and the adjustments to the carriage had made the ride a bit smoother, he still felt thoroughly unwell and complained feebly, "This cursed weather is so hot it's suffocating. I really wish there was something to cool us down."
Liu Erlengzi joked from the side, "Stop complaining. If some immortal would just bring us a divine pill that cures all ailments and beats the heat, that would be wonderful."
