Dusk falls.

The clouds were red like fire, but the temperature was as cold as ice, and the cold wind was howling. It was a difficult night for the poor.

Tang Qi left Lily's house, her brother's injuries were indeed very serious, and it took two totems to heal, but due to excessive blood loss and other reasons, he did not wake up. Rao is like this, Lily is also excited, she is well from her illness, and she is not bitter at all about recuperating her body.

Lily wanted to keep him for dinner, but Tang Qi didn't agree, and Lily didn't keep him when she saw that it was not early.

In such weather, the carriage rested early, and Tang Qi walked home, and the ice on the street was removed, but a new layer of ice was frozen. Snow, ice, this is often the case in Winterfell, waiting for tomorrow morning every household will come out to clean the road at the door, the huge Winterfell, the work of de-icing and shoveling snow is very efficient.

The streets are silent, the ice creaks, passing by manhole covers, and the occasional underground quarrel can be heard, between the homeless and the poor in the sewers.

Tang Qi was a little irritable and distressed, although he killed Valen this time, he completely made a feud with the Reynolds gang. The restraint of the Reynolds gang is temporary, and when the storm passes, fierce retribution will follow.

A huge gang that is powerless to fight on its own.

Just a few of their big leaders, with the strength of Naike, they have no power to fight back, not to mention Reynolds in the Source Palace realm. Tang Qi frowned, the original plan was to join a certain nobleman through selection and get good grades, so that even if the Reynolds gang was angry, he would not dare to act openly. As a result, the selection was disrupted by Valen and he was completely disqualified.

In a way, Valen's actions were successful.

If you are alone, you are still sure to get out and protect yourself, but there is still a mother and sister, and you can't escape. Unless the whole family escapes to a remote village and completely breaks ties with Winterfell, Tang Qi sighed.

This is definitely the next resort, all the people of the South want to become residents of Winterfell, even if they are poor, and they are not willing to leave Winterfell even if they are hungry, because Winterfell is the safest city in the South.

The evil beast is the master of the wilderness, and all the human settlements in the south are threatened by the evil beast.

Winterfell usually suffers from a beast tide once every two years, the blood of evil beasts stains the city walls red, and the corpses are covered with snowy mountains, but since the completion of Winterfell, no evil beast has ever been able to break through the city walls, even if the frozen sea incident a few decades ago, a large number of evil beasts poured into the south, and Winterfell stood majestically.

However, with the exception of Winterfell, all other cities in the South are threatened by Beasts. This is especially true of villages and towns, where there are no towering walls, no large armies, and even if they are built at the back of the city, evil beasts often break in and attack people.

According to statistics, 1.24 villages disappear in the south every year.

This is a staggering number, and Tang Qi does not want his mother and sister to live in fear, the kind of days when he sleeps every day and is afraid that there will be an evil beast biting his throat at night, just thinking about it, it is painful.

Can't leave Winterfell, Tang Qi's eyes are resolute, although the Reynolds gang is terrifying, but not as terrifying as the evil beast.

"These days to see if there are any nobles who are willing to recruit retainers, if there is really none, I will go to join the army, with Felton connections, there is no problem in joining the army. "After Tang Qi planned, joining the army was a choice, but it was also a helpless move, at least he had to mix to the level of Cleaver to make the Reynolds gang fearful, but this is something that needs to be fought for.

The nobility is the same, it's not just a guard, the nobility will protect you, otherwise with your own strength, it's enough to be a guard.

Thinking about things, soon his own two-story building appeared in sight.

The smoke was dim, the lights were bright, the warm light was shining on the window, the shadow of her mother's busy was looming, and Louise was doing her homework at the desk, the faint smell of roast duck was permeating, so that Tang Qi was determined to protect the warmth, and swallowed his saliva.

There's a big meal!

Quickening his pace, he pushed the door open and entered the house, and sure enough, a sumptuous dinner was on the table, and my mother bent down to take out the baking tray holding the roast duck from the blazing oven.

"How could the dinner be so rich. Tang Qi took a cake from the table and ate it.

"Little glutton, go wash your hands, it's a celebration of you and Louise's safe return. Mother patted Tang Qi on the head and said softly.

Tang Qi's mouth was stuffed with cake, and he was stunned for a moment, and then ...... I choked on the cake. After taking two sips of milk tea from his mother and swallowing the cake, Tang Qi touched his head and said embarrassedly: "Mother, how do you know, Louise and I didn't mean to hide it from you." ”

The incident was so dangerous that Donkey and Louise decided to hide it from their mother.

"What can you hide from me? The mother said with a hint of pride, but then pulled Tang Qi with worry: "You have grown up, and when you are in trouble, your mother can no longer help you solve it as if you were a child, but remember, everything must be based on the safety of you and Louise, I just need to watch you go home safely every night, and I will be satisfied......"

Looking at his mother's frightened expression, Tang Qi knew that Louise's disappearance and his sudden return had worried his attentive mother. Looking at the white strands of his mother's hair, Tang Qi's nose was slightly sour, and he gently patted his mother's back:

"It's all right, Mother, it's all settled. ”

After comforting her mother, Louise finished her homework, and the family gathered around the table for a hearty dinner.

After the meal, Tang Qi took out the jade box and put it in front of Louise.

"What is this?"

Louise looked at the jade box with a look of surprise, this jade box seemed to be worth a lot of money, more than the most expensive gift she had ever received.

"Open it and see it's a gift I brought back from the gravel plains...... Well, it's kind of making up for the wrong things I did before. Tang Qi coughed and said.

Wrong......

Louise's look of surprise darkened slightly, and she remembered what had been unpleasant.

The past has passed, my brother is not the same as before, Louise shook her head, not thinking about those things, she opened the jade box, a cold air spread, and the temperature of the room dropped by a few degrees in an instant.

A transparent fruit covered with ice scales lay in the center of the jade box.

"Frost Scales!" Louise exclaimed, looking at her brother.

Suffering from cold for many years, how could she not know the frost scale fruit, but this kind of precious plant, she just read it in a book, and she didn't even have the idea of buying it - this is not something that civilians can buy at all.

"This ...... It's too precious for me to eat, so we don't have to worry about money if we sell it. Louise shook her head and was about to close the lid on the jade box. But she didn't succeed, Tang Qi grabbed her hand and said mildly but domineeringly:

"I'll earn the money, the frost scale fruit is for you, eat it. ”

Looking at Tang Qi's serious expression, Louise's eyes were slightly red, and she turned her head to look at her mother, who also looked at her with an encouraging face. She finally couldn't help it, her eyes moistened with tears, and without hesitation, she took out the frost scale fruit and raised her head like Tang Qi to take it.

In this way, the cold disease can be solved, and Tang Qi was just about to be happy for Louise, but his face suddenly changed......
