This snowstorm was absurd. It raged on for three days and three nights.

A thick layer of snow had piled up on the broken wooden roof of the cabin in Dawn Mist Forest, and the planks let out dangerous creaks.

The room leaked drafts. Su Li leaned against a rough plank bed, wrapped in two layers of animal hide.
