After a few days of heavy snowfall, Li Bai finally began to prepare for the winter.

Now that all the problems have been basically solved, plus he has a lot of small money in his hands, so without having to work to make money, he is naturally happy to start leisurely preparing to save all kinds of daily necessities, so that he can spend a fat winter by this lake.

A few days have passed, as the weather gradually turns colder and the snowfall increases, the snow outside has become thicker and heavier, and the world is white.

Except for getting up on time every day to practice swords in his yard, he stayed at home at other times, burning the blazing fire, practicing calligraphy in his mud house that was warm in winter and cool in summer, reading books, and that's it.

Of course, he's not alone......

Because, at the same time, there is also a female snake spirit surnamed Bai!

At this moment, the other party was curled up in front of the large fireplace that had taken him two days to renovate in the largest hall, and was curled up on the chaise longue, which was about the size of a chaise longue, contentedly burning wood and hugging the blankets, and refusing to say anything back to her own mansion, which was obviously bigger and better than his.

It was the fireplace and recliner he had found someone to get, originally intended to allow him to recline and read a book in a warm winter day, but who thought, now he let the other party occupy it?

This is unreasonable!

“……”

To be honest, Li Bai really didn't understand, the other party was a goblin who was said to have cultivated for hundreds of years, why was he still so afraid of the cold?

Although the other party is indeed a snake who has cultivated to refinement, and the snake is indeed afraid of the cold and has the habit of hibernating, but the other party is a monster with successful cultivation, no matter how it is, it will not be as outrageous as it is now, right?

"I said ......"

"Little white lady, can't you spend your own money to have someone make a fireplace for your house?"

Finally, after practicing calligraphy for a while, he suddenly heard the kind of moaning sound of comfort and satisfaction behind him, and Li Bai, who was disturbed again, had to speak.

"You saw it too."

"This fireplace is not difficult to build, it is nothing more than to open a skylight in your own hall, and then build a stove and a chimney with fire-resistant bricks to the roof, and then add a few tiles on top of it to prevent waterproof, rain and snow, such a simple job, you can find a mason and they can get it for you in a day or two!"

"Then, you can henceforth be able to bake a fire in your own house, isn't it more comfortable than coming to my house every day?"

Li Bai was a little upset and irritable, because this situation made him always can't help but think of certain things, so that he can't calm down.

I think that at the beginning, when I was in Changgan Village, there was a girl who was also like the female goblin in front of her, and she liked to sit by the fireplace he renovated with her knees in winter, and then watch him write and chat with him.

During that time, no matter how cold it was outside, their house was warm, and their hearts were the same for each other.

But......

Now his girl is gone, but this leprechaun......

But obviously, the other party can't replace the position of the person in his heart, and he doesn't like to have too much contact with the other party, and he can't give his back to the other party with confidence like he treats that girl, at least not yet.

"Hey!"

"I can't help it, because I don't have any money!"

The female goblin said that she had no money in a straightforward and strong way, and seemed to think that she was very reasonable if she had no money?

"Although I can easily steal or grab that kind of money, like the copper coins you hide in the house where the horses are kept, and in those boxes under the pile of firewood next to the horse?"

"Hey!"

"What are you looking at me like that, I didn't say I was going to steal your family's money, I was just making an analogy!"

"Humph!"

"I'm not unfamiliar with the broken copper and iron you hid, I can use my own spells to conjure money from leaves, although they can be easily spotted...... But even if I have money, who would dare to help me fix the fireplace, and I can't change the fireplace with a blind eye! ”

"I'm not like you, you're a strange person who can slay demons and subdue demons, your affairs have already spread in Hangzhou City, they are not afraid of you, but I'm a monster...... Even if they have money, who of them are mortals who are terribly scared, would anyone dare to come to my house to help me, a female monster, repair the fireplace? ”

"It's so cold now, I'm about to freeze, what else can I do besides running to your house to keep warm, who let you have such a fun, such a warm fireplace!"

"Besides, my house is made of wood, so I can't seem to make a fireplace like yours......"

After speaking, the female goblin seemed to dislike that the fire in the fireplace was a little smaller, and she felt that it was not warm enough, so she reached out and threw a few pieces of firewood that Li Bai had chopped when he practiced swords, as if she wanted to make the fire in the stove bigger and the house warmer?

“……”

Well, hearing what the other party said, Li Bai was a little speechless, so he had to suppress some annoyance and unhappiness, and slowly turned around and continued to practice his words.

Recently, his swordsmanship has reached a bottleneck again, and he doesn't know how to break through, so he has to spend more time practicing calligraphy.

After all, isn't there a lyric that is well said?

Practice calligraphy well and then go out, will someone enthusiastically buy it in the future? Of course, more importantly, he found that his calligraphy seemed to be faintly linked to many of his own swordsmanship, and when he practiced calligraphy, he could also exercise his mind and cultivate his Qinglian sword qi, so this gradually formed a habit, and the key to it was not enough for outsiders.

Unfortunately, calligraphy is not something that happens overnight, and no one can pick up a brush to become a calligrapher or practice calligraphy...... Of course, except for those 'experts' on the Internet who were crazy in the past, picked up a brush and wrote worse than elementary school students, and would only pretend to scribble on paper and then cheat money.

'Ah~'

'Ahh!!h ’

“……”

At this time, a sneezing sound suddenly came from behind Li Bai, which made his hand tremble, and a large amount of ink dripped onto the rice paper, and then quickly spread out.

Alas......

sighed in his heart, thought about it, and felt that he couldn't get rid of a certain female goblin, so Li Bai had no choice but to shake his head, reach out and take away the dirty paper, and then replace it with another new one and lay it out.

"Why do you still feel cold...... Especially when you sit all day, it's so annoying! ”

"Hey! Li bai! ”

"You guy, can't you just close the door? Look at it, the cold wind outside keeps pouring in, who can stand this? ”

After sniffing, the female goblin, who felt that she was hot and cold at the same time, finally couldn't help it, and began to shout at someone who was practicing calligraphy and express her strong dissatisfaction.

"Close, close?"

"Nope! That's not going to work! ”

Li Bai was stunned for a moment, and then he didn't think about it, and directly rejected the other party's request.

“？？”

"Can't do it? And why? ”

"Because you can't close the door when you burn the fire, that's basic common sense!"

"The door is not closed when it is cold, and common sense ......"

"You're trying to bluff me?"

After hearing this, the female goblin first blinked ignorantly, and then quickly came back to her senses and glared at Li Bai fiercely.

"Alas......"

"Little lady Bai, although this hall of my house is not small, and there is a smoke cooker on the roof, but now the fireplace is burning, once the door is closed, the air is not circulated, and after a long time, there is still a possibility of carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide poisoning!"

“？？”

"What is 'one-itch carbon' and 'two-itch carbon' poisoning?"

"Uh......"

"Probably suffocation, right?"

"Suffocation?"

"Yes!"

"Then I'm not afraid, you close it, I'm sure I won't suffocate, I can even breathe all winter without breathing!!"

Obviously, the female goblin didn't believe Li Bai's nonsense, because she had lived for hundreds of years, and she had never heard of that kind of 'one itch talk carbon' and 'two itch talk carbon'.

“……”

Li Bai was a little speechless.

He knew what the other party meant, it was nothing more than that she was a snake, she could hibernate, even if she was buried in a cave and buried in the ground, she was not afraid of suffocation, but the other party was not afraid of him Li Bai was afraid!

"It can't be turned off anyway!"

"If you can't stand it, you can go home and burn the fire by yourself, and no one will care about you no matter how you close the doors and windows in your house."

However, Li Bai didn't want to explain more, anyway, the door belonged to his family, and as the owner, he would definitely not close it.

"Humph!"

"If it's not closed, it's not closed, what's the big deal?"

Seeing that Li Bai still refused to close the door, the female goblin first flattened her mouth, and planned to lose her temper or run to lock it up by herself.

However, when she thought about it seriously, she found that this was indeed not her home, and it would not be good if she went to lock it up without permission, so she could only give up with hatred.

"That's right!"

"That bad old man in West Lake came to you a few days ago, and he must have said a lot of bad things about me, right? I'm telling you, that dragon isn't a good thing, don't believe what he says! ”

"He's broken!"

After baking the fire for a while, seeing that the newly added firewood in the stove was gradually burning, and feeling that the fire was more abundant and the body was a little warmer, the female goblin who suddenly remembered something important was hurriedly told Li Bai solemnly.

"Hmmm......"

"Got it."

Li Bai responded indifferently.

Actually, what he really wants to say is: that West Lake Shuijun, that bad old man may not really look like a good thing, but you yourself are not much better, right?

However, Li Bai didn't say anything in the end, just continued to practice his own words.

The current situation is that the female goblin is strong and he is weaker, and he himself has no better place to go, and he is even more reluctant to find another place to live, so he can only temporarily acquiesce to the existence of the other party, otherwise he would have turned his face and driven the other party away.

“！！”

However, Li Bai, who had just written two words, had to stop again and turn around.

"I said ......"

"Little white lady, can you stop adding firewood? That stove is so big, and you add firewood to it, do you want to burn my house down? ”

"Look up, my roof is thatched!!"

Li Bai pointed to the roof with the brush in his hand, and then looked at the fireplace that the other party was stuffed with and rolled his eyes.

Now the firelight is starting to come out, and you can play if you accidentally burn to the roof!

"But it's really cold, and you won't close the door......"

"Alright!"

"Can't I take it out?"

Although she said that, looking at Li Bai with an unkind face, the female goblin hesitated for a while, but she still had to be angry, and quickly took out the few smoking firewoods that had not yet burned, and threw them into the firewood piles on the side with hatred.

"You ......"

"If you've baked enough, go back quickly, it's not too early, you can't stay at my house all the time, right?"

"Huh?"

"But I think that's good, why can't it?"

"Because it's inconvenient!"

"It's inconvenient, I think it's convenient? I'm not in your way! ”

“……”

"I'm a man, you're a woman, that's not good!"

"What's wrong? And I'm not a woman, I'm a female monster! ”

"Even if you're a female monster, it's not good to be seen like this......"

"Aha! Li Bai, are you stupid, in this two-mile radius, apart from you, who else dares to come here, how can it be seen? ”

"And it's so cold outside, I won't go out!"

"You ......"

Gotcha!

Finding that he couldn't seem to squeeze the other party to leave, Li Bai could only take a deep breath, and then turned around in frustration and continued to practice his own words, not planning to talk to the other party more about that issue.
