NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1179 First Snow
Bai Junjun didn't know who Daniel Wu was.
But now she had reintroduced herself to the Lame Man Uncle and his two fellow brothers, realizing that they weren't as old as she thought. The oldest of these three uncles was 32, and the other two were just 29.
Clearly in the prime of their lives, they had somehow weathered themselves into old men. If it weren't for this revelation, Bai Junjun had thought they were too old to endure the rigors of travel and considered leaving them in the Ownerless Land to rest.
Who would have thought… they were far from being old.
It seems that maintenance is indeed crucial.
Bai Junjun wasn't too concerned about appearances, but seeing the Lame Man Uncle's example firsthand, she silently added beauty care to her plans. It's something to pay attention to.
Lady Lin also sighed. She secretly had a crush on the eldest brother back in the day. She didn't expect that after three years, he'd turn into an old man. Oh, Daniel Wu.
Upon hearing Lady Lin's complaint, Bai Junjun couldn't help but laugh, "Tch, you almost had me convinced."
"What do you mean?" Lady Lin glanced at Bai Junjun, a bit flustered and uneasy.
Bai Junjun looked at the gradually receding team with a smirk, repeating what she overheard last night, "Eldest Brother, you blockhead… be careful I… "
Bai Junjun didn't finish her sentence before Lady Lin blushed and quickly covered Bai Junjun's mouth.
"You... you actually eavesdropped!"
"I did not." Bai Junjun casually freed herself from the restraint, "It was you guys who didn't check the surroundings. If I didn't run fast, I'd have been forced to witness an inappropriate and steamy drama."
"Holy crap!" Lady Lin erupted completely, chasing Bai Junjun in a mad pursuit.
At that time, everyone was enveloped in the sadness of parting, who would have thought these two would start a game of tag over a difference in words.
The two were well-known as bad students under Teacher Wenren. Acting up in such a solemn occasion, they were bound to be punished back home.
Yet Lady Lin didn't care about any of that right then. Her affair with the Lame Man being exposed by this brat, despite her modern education, it was still a matter of face, wasn't it?
Watching this comical scene, the gloom in everyone's hearts was gently scattered away.
Just like that, not long after the guests left the Ownerless Land, they finally welcomed the first snow of winter.
The first snow fell at midnight, unnoticed by everyone, who slept till dawn, only to feel it getting colder. When they pushed open the windows, a world covered in white greeted them.
Everywhere was blanketed with a thin layer of snow.
Bai Junjun woke up with a yawn. If there was anyone among these thousand people unaffected by the snowfall, it would probably be Bai Junjun.
After all, she had a Fire-series Ability powerhouse by her side, this powerhouse was like a furnace, as long as she snuggled up, all the cold vanished.
The two of them still wore their Leviathan Skin jackets when they went out, while outside, everyone wore cotton-padded jackets.
Everyone finally had the chance to put on their cotton-filled winter coats, all dressed in new clothes, pacing back and forth in the courtyard as if testing the durability of their coats against the cold.
No wonder, most people here had never worn cotton robes, and hardly the Fire-Swallowing Tribe, this was their first time experiencing a proper warm winter.
Seeing this, Bai Junjun couldn't help but laugh.
As the first snow fell, the charcoal furnace workshop officially opened for business, and everyone could collect a certain amount of charcoal daily for heating.
