After winter set in, Haizhou could finally be described as having a suitable temperature.
The scorching sun had temporarily extinguished its raging ferocity, and even the light it cast seemed to have turned cool and aloof. The humidity remained, but after the suffocating, deadly heat receded and before another wave of damp cold that pierced straight into one's bones arrived, all of Haizhou enjoyed a brief spell of gentleness—brief enough to be counted in days.
The snakes, insects, rats, and ants in the wilderness could not wait to poke their heads out and crawl everywhere... They had already run over several on the drive here alone.
Splat. Another one.
Amid the crisp, sickening sound of something bursting, Lou Feng's expression twitched again. The moment his attention wandered, a glob of bird shit fell from the sky.
Ever since they accidentally hit and killed a crow, this SUV seemed to have become the target of every crow's collective assault, driving Lou Feng mad with irritation.
"Aunt, stop laughing and do something useful."
Lou Feng rolled his eyes and glanced at the figure in the back seat, sprawled in her chair and playing a handheld console.
Lou Yanyue yawned indifferently. "What, you want your aunt to wipe down your car? Big nephew, you're getting bolder by the day!"
Splat!
Another lump of bird shit.
Lou Feng was about to lose his mind.
"What kind of godforsaken place did that Ji guy find? Why are there so many messy things here?" Lou Feng watched the wipers smear the bird droppings evenly across the windshield, his blood pressure nearly breaking loose.
He had no idea what was going on, but it had to be Ji Jue's doing!
What else could it be?
Could he really just be that unlucky?
Splat!
