CH 106.1

“Should I lock the door?” The soldier hesitantly looked at the open door of the room and asked Dijia.

Dijia shrugged and said casually, “Why ask me? It’s not like my words count in this group.”

Soldier: “……”

So frank?

You are the Governor!

Several eyes immediately looked at Bai Lixin.

It was still summer, but as soon as they stepped into the room, they were once again surrounded by the bone-chilling cold.

Bai Lixin looked at the open door, and just like earlier, the outside had turned into a world of snow.

He said, “Put her on the bed first. I’ll go to the door.”

With that, Bai Lixin walked to the door.

It was already nighttime, and in the distance, occasional fireworks were exploding into the sky.

The colourful fireworks flickered, dispelling a bit of the dead silence outside.

Snowflakes began to drift down, and the north wind blew the snowflakes all over the sky and into the room.

The courtyard, which should have been crowded with people, was empty, and it seemed as if they were the only ones left in the world.

His feet felt ticklish, and Bai Lixin looked down. The four fox cubs were pawing his legs and acting like spoiled children.

He withdrew his gaze, walked to the door, and then closed and bolted it.

“This room is colder than an ice cellar. Is this how the madam spends her winter? She doesn’t burn charcoal, nor keep a brazier in here? Or should I go out and look for charcoal?” A soldier spoke up as he placed the Madam on the bed.

“I guess it’s because she’s afraid, right?” The other soldier put a thick quilt over the Madam and breathed into his closed hands, “A sea of fire and a bowl of pills buried the whole family of the man who saved his life.”

“I reckon this madam is afraid of even seeing a fire.”

As he spoke, white mist kept coming out of his mouth, and his body couldn’t stop shivering from the cold. “But how come it’s so cold tonight, I feel like my whole body is numb and my feet seem to have no feeling.”

At the end of his sentence, his lips curved into a bitter smile, “But was it that cold earlier?”

The other soldier was also freezing. He looked at the people in the room, then gritted his teeth and slowly moved to the soldier’s side, “Brother.”

The soldier exhaled white mist, “What?”

The other soldier opened his arms, “A hug, hug me and I’ll get some warmth, good brother. I’m freezing.”

“Hug if you want!”

The dog’s life was at stake.

Bai Lixin looked down. All four fox cubs were shivering. He bent down and took the fox cubs into his arms, and just as he stood up straight, he felt his vision being blocked by a dark shadow.

Dijia had come before him at some point, and was looking at him with an expectant face as he opened his arms.

Bai Lixin pondered for two seconds, “I’m not cold.”

Dijia: “No, you’re cold.”

Bai Lixin was about to say something else when the system prompt rang out.

[Ding! Warning! About to go OOC, please player ……]

Without waiting for the system to finish, Bai Lixin immediately spoke, “You’re right, I’m cold!”

Just as Dijia was about to take Bai Lixin in his arms, a knock came at the door.

“Ta-da.”

“Ta-da.”

“Ta-da.”

It was a very rhythmic knocking sound, it was small at first, but then it gradually grew louder.

It didn’t sound like knocking, more like the sound of hacking through the door.

Bai Lixin’s gaze became serious and Dijia had to withdraw his hands.

The two people hugging each other were frightened, and they looked out fearfully, shivering and asking in a whisper, “What is that outside?”

Bai Lixin went to the door and looked through the crack, only to see a dark figure crouching at the doorway.

Because the gap was small, he could not see much. Only the person’s buttocks were vaguely visible, and it was impossible to see what the person was actually doing.

Bai Lixin opened the door. The summer breeze was charming, and there wasn’t even a ghost.

He closed the door, and through the crack, he could see the man at the doorway again.

The most worrying thing was that time and space were dislocated.

The soldiers were curious and came up to Bai Lixin. They peeped through the crack at the doorway and asked in a whisper, “What’s going on?”

The other soldier: “I can’t see, I just see a big butt. Why don’t we go out and ask? I was scared to death, I thought I’d met a ghost.”

The soldier coughed lightly and, braced himself as he called out to the outside, “Hey, who are you? What are you doing?”

The man kept his head down as if he couldn’t hear them.

The “ta-da, ta-da” sound never stopped.

“Hiss, it’s evil.” The soldier shivered, “Why is there no one out here? This man is sneaky. He’s not trying to burn us to death, is he?”

“Burn to death ……”

“Burn to death ……”

As if in response to the soldier’s words, the Madam lying unconscious on the bed, suddenly murmured in a low voice.

The group turned their heads to look over. The Madam was still lying on the bed and had no intention of getting up.

Bai Lixin looked to the two soldiers, “You guys stay here and keep an eye on the outside. We’ll go over and take a look.”

The soldiers: “Okay.”

Dijia and Bai Lixin went to the bed where the Madam was laying with her eyes still tightly closed.

Her already wrinkled face was scrunched together and her brows were knitted together. Although the room was cold, a thick bead of sweat seeped from her forehead.

“Li *lang, I’m sorry.”

“It’s all my fault that you got hurt. It’s all my fault.”
