Get out of here, all of you.
To live.
And they are alive and well.
That's enough.
"Click, click."
"Waaaaah~"
Scratching sounds came from under the door, along with the soft whimpering of Cotton Candy.
The Cotton Candy outside was getting anxious.
Su Wei stretched his wet hand out of the water and turned the lock on the door a crack.
A white, pointed beak immediately darted inside.
Cotton Candy smelled the humid heat filling the room, then widened her blue eyes and stared at Su Wei head was the only part of her body above water.
It froze.
In the fox's view, immersing itself in water was tantamount to suicide.
Su Wei slapped the water with a mischievous grin.
"Splash!"
A few drops of hot water splashed onto the ground.
As if its tail had been stepped on, the Cotton Candy's white fur bristled, and it darted back to the end of the corridor with a whoosh.
Even from a distance, you could hear its dissatisfied barking.
Su Wei grinned and retreated back into the water.
He certainly wouldn't give the Cotton Candy a bath; that would be harmful to it.
In my line of sight, pale blue subtitles floated in the mist.

You can gain experience points by taking a bath?
Although I didn't gain much, this gradual improvement made me feel more grounded.
Twenty minutes later.
The water temperature gradually cooled down.
Galvanized iron drums don't retain heat well, so the heat escapes very quickly.
Su Wei didn't soak for long; she got up and dried herself off.
His skin was completely red, but he felt much lighter.
He changed into cotton pajamas and then put on a thick flannel robe.
He pushed open the door and stepped out.
The heat in his body temporarily shielded him from the cold air outside.
In the living room, the fire in the fireplace was a little dimmer.
The orange-red flames danced on the wall, casting long shadows.
Su Wei glanced at the stairs leading to the second floor.
The bedroom is on the second floor, and it's not just his.
And the original owner's parents.
But on such a cold day, there's no heat source on the second floor, and the radiators aren't on.
Sleeping on it for one night will definitely make you catch a cold.
That's practically suicide.
What's more, there's a fireplace downstairs.
Why leave a warm environment for a place filled with cold air?
He made a decision: he would sleep in the living room.
Su Wei walked up to the large sofa.
The sofa is deep enough; with a little tidying up, it can be made into a nice single bed.
He slept here yesterday too.
Su Wei went upstairs to the second floor and quickly rummaged through her bedroom to find a wool blanket.
It's made of pure wool, feels heavy in your hand, and has a fluffy texture.
He went downstairs and placed a blanket underneath as a base layer.
Take out the pillows and pile them at one end of the sofa.
Then spread out that thick quilt.
A temporary shelter was set up.
Su Wei turned off the living room lights.
The room darkened, leaving only the flickering fire in the fireplace.
He crawled into bed.
The firelight warmed my face, making it feel cozy.
The sofa moved slightly.
A white figure leaped up.
Cotton Candy doesn't hold grudges.
It stomped around on the blanket, its front paws bobbing up and down, trying to find a comfortable spot.
After choosing its spot, it crawled directly into a corner of the blankets.
Su Wei opened the lid a crack.
The little guy poked its head out, then curled up into a white ball of fur next to Su Wei's chest, sticking close to him.
Soft and warm.
It's like a self-heating hot water bottle.
"You're still the warmest."
Su Wei rubbed its ears.
Cotton Candy squinted comfortably, making loud snoring sounds in its throat.
Outside the window, the snow was still falling heavily.
The wind was very strong, and occasionally you could hear the sound of tree branches snapping under the weight of the snow.
These sounds actually made the room seem even quieter.
Su Wei stared at the charcoal fire, starting to think about what to do next.
Tonight is finally over.
Tomorrow is another day.
Food is running out day by day, and so is diesel fuel.
But diesel is currently considered safe if he only uses lights.
But food is a different story.
If the blizzard continues, he might not be able to leave for another two weeks.
Therefore, he had to go out to find food.
The goal is clear.
The frozen lake in front of the gate connects to the Pilan Creek.
Under the ice lies rainbow trout and Arctic grayling.
Whether they survive or not depends on them.
He mentally reviewed the items he needed to bring.
Ice crystals, fishing rods, spinner lures...
I wish I could have good luck when fishing.
Sleepiness gradually crept in.
His eyelids began to droop.
