The two cars that drove out of Gufeng Town took a week to pass through two provinces before they set foot on the road to the capital again.

As Chinese New Year's Eve approaches, the temperature is getting lower day by day.

Rao is air conditioner is on in the car, and they can still feel the cold, only wrapped in thick cotton jackets and down jackets to keep out the cold.

"This damn weather, that's enough!" Xie Changxiao, who had just solved his physiological needs, sat in the back seat tremblingly.

He rubbed his gloved hands and glanced at Wen Qizhou in the driver's seat: "Where is the next city?" ”

"Huaining."

"So are we going to live in the base, or are we looking for a house outside?" The two cars are running out of gas, and they must go into the base to find someone to change it, otherwise they will not be able to drive forward.

Wen Qizhou: "Outside." He held the steering wheel with one hand: "We won't stay long, there's no need to rent a house." ”

"Okay." He craned his neck and tightened his down jacket, waiting for the cold to disappear before he had the heart to look out the window.

Three hours later, the car drove into the city of Huaining.

They looked around through the window, looking for a suitable place to live, and finally found a manor villa on the edge of the Fourth Ring Road.

Shaded by greenery, the single-family villa stands behind a fountain and is hard to spot unless you look closely.

For safety reasons, Wen Qizhou and the others walked into the villa with guns, checked inside and out, and made sure that there were no outsiders in the entire manor, so they were asked to come in with their luggage.

The villa has four floors.

The ground floor includes the living room, kitchen, dining room and washroom; On the second floor, there are two bedrooms, a gym, and a study; The third floor has three bedrooms, a video room and a billiards room; On the fourth floor, there is a musical instrument room, a dance studio, and an open-air garden with a barbecue grill.

They assigned the rooms, and Xie Changxiao, Wen Qizhou, and Chi Yunyan went to the lake to fetch water, while the rest stayed on the first floor and patiently cleaned the area they could often use.

Chi Yue stomped her feet: "It's too cold." ”

The area of the villa is too large, and the owner is pasted with marble tiles, which has poor thermal conductivity, and in the cold winter, the whole person is like being in an ice cellar.

"yes." Ge Qinyao pulled the scarf up to cover her mouth and nose: "It should be minus 20 degrees now." ”

"I'm afraid it's more than that."

Chi Yue swept the dust from the ground.

She walked to the fireplace across the sofa and suddenly stopped: "Ge Huai, can you go out and cut down a few trees?" We'll get the fireplace on fire later, so it's a little warmer. ”

"Okay." Ge Huai took the hand-held saw, went out together on Yan Shuo's shoulder, and picked four trees for it to saw.

They dragged the tree back, cut the trunk into long pieces of wood with axes, sawed off the branches, and carried them into the living room.

Chi Yue squatted by the fireplace.

She tosses a branch into the fireplace, lights it and gradually adds firewood to it.

When a heat wave came, Wen Qizhou, who went out to fetch water, returned to the manor villa with six buckets full of water.

They put down their six buckets and walked to the fireplace, where blankets and pillows were laid, and each found a place to sit and keep warm.

"Come, drink some ginger tea to ward off the cold." Ming Chang boiled a pot of brown sugar ginger tea and brought it to the table, and asked them to serve a bowl of it themselves.

"Thank you, Master Ming."

"Don't be foolish, drink quickly."

"Gotcha." Ge Huai scooped each of them a bowl of ginger tea, and suddenly asked, "Are we celebrating the festival here this year?" ”

"What festival?"

"Chinese New Year's Eve!"

"Chinese New Year's Eve? When? "Chi Yunyan hasn't paid attention to the date for a long time, and I really don't know what night it is.

"Twenty-one."

"Five days left?" After receiving his affirmative reply, Wen Yaxian couldn't help but sigh: "Alas, I'm going to be a year older again." ”

Xun Song stiffened his face: "Me too." ”

"......" Seeing his serious appearance, Chi Yue burst out laughing: "You are only seven years old this year, what are you old?" ”

"Seven years old is older than six."

"That makes sense." Ge Qinyao pinched his face and looked serious: "Then I'll call you little old man in the future?" ”

"No, it's not good."

"The little old man?"

“……”

While they were making a fuss, the cold air mass stored in the north accumulated to a certain extent, and it was like an overwhelming flood coming towards the area with low air pressure.

The cold wave that landed in the land rushed to Huaining along the capital. Where it flows, the temperature drops sharply, and people indoors and outdoors suddenly lose all sense of their breath in the next second they feel it.

The flowers and trees that were moving, and the animals flying and running between the heavens and the earth were also swallowed up by the cold wave in an instant, or they remained motionless in place, or fell uncontrollably into the air.

"Whew-whew-"

The howling wind wept and howled.

Chi Yue leaned on Wen Qizhou's shoulder, lifted his eyelids, and looked out the window: "Yun Yan, you close the window." ”

Previously, they had left two windows to ventilate the villa, but now the wind was strong and they could no longer be opened.

Chi Yunyan slid up.

He strode towards the window, and as soon as his outstretched hand touched the figure-seven handle, a burst of cold air hit him, causing him to suddenly lose consciousness and subconsciously fall backwards.

The sound of "bang" fell.

Seeing Chi Yue fall down, his pupils shrank, and before the sentence "Yun Yan" could be shouted, the biting chill swept through his body like a tide in the blink of an eye.
