Together with Huang Fugui, they found a suitable empty room here.

She used a dust-removing spell to clean the room thoroughly, and then took out bedding, pillows, and other items from her jade pendant space. From now on, she planned to live in the immortal abode.

After all, the spiritual energy here is much denser than in the jade pendant space. And she herself is quite used to this environment.

At least it's no different from the cultivation world she used to live in, except that she doesn't have any fellow disciples and still has her three disobedient little disciples.

Once settled, I couldn't wait to start studying this beginner's guide to formations.

Once she started watching, she became completely absorbed and didn't come out for a long time. The people outside had already gotten used to Jian Ning disappearing from time to time.

Jian Anping called her several times on the walkie-talkie, but there was no response, so he knew she must have gone to practice her kung fu again.

The Lantern Festival passed quickly, and the New Year celebrations were considered over. When Jian Ning came out of the Immortal Abode, it was almost March.

Even Aunt Wang can walk again now. She's recovered very well.

Xiao Lingfeng, on the other hand, stayed home with them the whole time.

The two most important people in this world are Aunt Wang and Tian Tian. He doesn't want to go out to work again, lest something happen to these two, the old woman and the young girl.

With Jian Ning's return from quarantine, the three families gathered together for a meal. This time, Jian Ning formally introduced Huang Fugui to them.

"This is my pet, named Huang Fugui. He's a very intelligent little guy."

"Xiao Ning, where did you find this? What breed is it? It's so cute!"

Li Mengyao has absolutely no resistance to these fluffy little animals, but because she is pregnant, she doesn't dare to come over and hug it, so she can only watch from a distance.

"It doesn't look like a dog to me. It's a white fox, isn't it? Such a long tail, and it even has horns on its head!" Jian Anping reached out to pet Huang Fugui, but was scared away by its bared teeth.

"It's okay, you can pet it. It won't bite. It understands everything you say, just praise it more."

Before Jian Ning could finish speaking, Huang Fugui rolled his eyes at her, as if to say, "Do you think I'm that shallow? You think you can just touch me with a few nice words?"

"Wow! It's so beautiful! Its fur is much smoother than my pet rabbit's!"

"Look, there's not a single stray hair! Sister Ning, can I play with Huang Fugui from now on?" Tian Tian didn't hold back her praise at all.

Looking at Huang Fugui, its eyes were full of affection. It proudly shook its head and nodded at Tian Tian.

This made the little girl extremely happy.

"Sister Ning, that's amazing! It really understands what I'm saying. I've never seen such a sensible little fox before!"

"Tian Tian, ​​it's not a fox, it's a cat. You can hear it meowing."

As Jian Ning spoke, she touched Huang Fugui's back with her hand, applying slight pressure with her fingers, and Huang Fugui could only reluctantly meow.

"Really? Can I feed it dried fish? I have a lot of cat food cans at home." Tian Tian looked up at Jian Ning with great anticipation.

"Okay, it's not picky about food, it'll eat anything." Tian Tian cheered and pulled Xiao Lingfeng, insisting on going home to get cat food to feed Huang Fugui.

The two had just opened the door and gone out when Li Mengyao said something.

"Is it a bit too hot in here? I'm sweating so much."

"Maybe I burned too much. I didn't add much coal!"

Aunt Li also felt a bit sweaty and wiped her forehead with her hand. She then used the damp coal to weigh down the stove. She also took off her cotton vest.

Then she went to the kitchen and started serving the dishes.

Jian Ning was wearing a temperature-controlled suit, so she wasn't very sensitive to the temperature inside the air.

But I also felt that the sun outside was particularly dazzling today. I went to the window and looked out, and the building diagonally opposite, which had been covered by heavy snow, was now mostly visible.

Moreover, the snow covering the area was melting at an extremely rapid rate.

I blurted out instinctively, "It's getting warmer!"

"Xiao Ning, what did you say?" Jian Anping also came over. By now, he had taken off his sweater and was only wearing a white tank top.

"Brother, look down there, the snow has all melted, which means the temperature is rising. What temperature is it now?"

After Jian Ning finished speaking, she went over to check the thermometer. The room temperature had reached 28 degrees Celsius, no wonder it felt a bit hot.

"The temperature has really risen! That's wonderful! I've been waiting for this long winter to finally end." Everyone in the house except for Aunt Wang, who was still sitting on the kang (a heated brick bed), ran to the window to look outside.

In just a short while, the temperature had clearly risen several degrees. Uncle Li quickly brought the fire out of the stove.

The temperature outside isn't necessarily that high. If there's a fire in this house, it'll be unbearably hot.

Soon, Xiao Lingfeng returned with Tian Tian. He told her to feed Huang Fugui herself, and walked over with a serious expression.

"The temperature is rising too fast; we need to prepare immediately."

"What's there to prepare? We have everything we need at home. If it gets too hot, I'll just turn on the air conditioner. We have electricity anyway." Jian Anping was completely unaware of the seriousness of the problem.

"I'm referring to the rising temperatures; the ice underneath will melt quickly."

Corpses and other debris in the water will float to the surface. After a winter of settling, they will inevitably contain a lot of viruses and bacteria. The degree of decomposition of the corpses will also vary.

We need to carry out thorough disinfection and sterilization, and it's best to prevent outside air from entering the house. Window gaps, including the chimney opening, must be sealed immediately.

“Xiao Lingfeng is right, and not all rats and cockroaches underwater will necessarily freeze to death. We must be careful.” Jian Ning nodded in agreement with Xiao Lingfeng’s opinion.

"Then let's get to work! What are you waiting for? I see the snow is melting so fast, I reckon the ice underneath will all be melted in less than an hour!"

Jian Anping panicked as soon as he heard this. Although his IQ was not as high as the two of them, he still understood basic common sense.

It would be terrible if these animals brought any viruses into the house.

So everyone forgot about eating, took off their heavy cotton-padded coats, changed into light summer clothes, and immediately got to work.

All the drains were coated with cement again this time.

The gaps in the windows were also sealed with sealant. This was no small project; it took each of the three families more than two hours to get everything done.

The outdoor temperature has now risen to thirty-three degrees Celsius. Much of the ice below has melted; you can hear the thawing sounds coming from upstairs.

The sound of ice cubes colliding and flowing water.

Because when it was freezing outside, many holes of all sizes were dug out in order to retrieve supplies, and the places that melted first were the ones with holes.
