On the way to Dong Tong Town , the crowd of refugees were attacked by the cold and merciless winter winds and Qi Bai and his wife fell sick together with the other refugees . Thinking that he had a strong body Qi Bai , the father of Xiao Shuyan , didn't pay any attention to it and even gave his clothes to his wife and three children despite Father Lin 's repeated warnings .
At first Qi Bai wasn't willing to take his illness seriously , therefore , he didn't listen to Father Lin's suggestion of checking up with a doctor before moving on to the northeast . Qi Bai didn't want to delay the trip because of his illness , so even though he was suffering through high fever he kept on pushing his body . Qi Bai continued to endure it and went on with the journey because of this he fell seriously sick once they left the small town where they all have taken shelter from the cold snow .
