After preparing the things Qi Jiating needed, Xiao Feng and Jianlong took Qi Jiating home together.
As soon as they opened the door, a cold wind howled in.
Qi Jiating shuddered.
The snow outside was already above my calves, making it difficult to go out.
The horse-drawn carriages couldn't go out, and relying solely on two legs to carry supplies was almost impossible.
Xiao Feng glanced at Jianlong: "Sigh, bringing someone along is such a hassle. How are we going to get here?"
Jianlong made a gesture as if he had knocked Qi Jiating unconscious.
Xiao Feng smiled and said, "That's fine!"
Jianlong raised his hand and patted Qi Jiating on the head.
Qi Jiating fainted.
Jianlong hoisted Qi Jiating onto his shoulder and said, "He knows nothing, so we can leave now."
After saying that, Jianlong carried Qi Jiating and Xiaofeng carried the supplies, and the two of them flew into the sky like lightning.
Soon, they arrived at the Qi residence.
In the courtyard of the Qi residence, they put down Qi Jiating and his belongings, and then knocked on the door.
Xiao Zhenzhen heard the commotion and came out. When she saw Qi Jiating lying in the snow and the things next to him, she hurriedly shouted, "Help! Someone, come and help!"
Seeing this, Xiaofeng and the others left quietly.
Inside the palace, the snow was already quite deep.
Despite the charcoal fire, everyone was still shivering from the cold.
In the Queen's palace, the Third Prince and the Sixth Prince were playing with the little fireflies that Qiuqiu had given them.
The Queen noticed that when they approached the fireflies, they not only didn't feel cold, but they even had a bit of sweat on their foreheads.
The Queen thought to herself: "Chirp said to take good care of these fireflies. Could it be that these fireflies have some special function?"
Fireflies flitted about in the cage, their bodies emitting a faint glow.
The queen approached the cage and put the water and food in her hands into the cage to feed the fireflies.
The firefly seemed to understand the queen's intention. It drank some water, ate some food, and its energy gradually increased, causing it to emit an even brighter light.
The Queen looked at the fireflies and said, "Can you feel that the light emitted by these fireflies is a little different?"
Third Prince: "Mother, I feel its light is very warm."
The Sixth Prince said, "Your Majesty, I also feel that being closer to him makes me feel less cold."
Queen: "Now, do you feel warmer?"
Third Prince: "Yes, it seems even warmer after Mother fed it."
Sixth Prince: "I feel like the whole room has warmed up!"
The Queen looked around in surprise.
The palace maids stopped shivering and said, "Yes, it's warm now, we're not cold anymore."
The Queen looked outside and said, "Chirp chirp, thank you for the gift you gave us!"
The Emperor is reading letters from foreign lands.
This letter was hard-won.
The letter from the foreign lands stated that they had suffered a snowstorm and were lacking food and clothing, hoping to receive aid from the Great Dragon Kingdom. They were willing to pay a high price for the Dragon Kingdom's grain and heating equipment.
The emperor thought to himself: We have enough grain stored up. But where am I going to find heating equipment for them?
There was a cage on the emperor's table.
The cage contained the fireflies that Chiu Chiu had given them.
The emperor was very annoyed and casually poured the leftover water into the fireflies.
Unexpectedly, the firefly suddenly grew larger, and its light seemed to become much bigger and warmer.
The Emperor rubbed his eyes and said to Xiao Dezi, "Xiao Dezi, look! Why does this bug seem a little bigger? Am I seeing things?"
Xiao Dezi looked at the firefly in the cage and said, "Your Majesty, it looks bigger than I thought. And it seems to be emitting a warm glow!"
The emperor stood up excitedly and placed his hand close to the cage.
Instantly, my hands warmed up.
The Emperor said, "Indeed, this insect can generate warmth! It was given to me by Qiuqiu. Does Qiuqiu have any way to develop a heating device?"
Chiu Chiu sat in her room, looking worried as she saw the heavy snow falling outside.
Xiao Feng returned and reported, "Master, as you instructed, Jianlong and I just settled another group of refugees in the shelter."
Chiu Chiu patted Xiao Feng on the shoulder and said, "Well done!"
But the outside temperature is getting lower and lower, and the charcoal fire is about to stop burning. What will everyone do to keep warm then?
Xiao Feng watched as the charcoal fire glowed faintly.
Indeed, as the temperature dropped, it became clear that the charcoal would stop burning.
How many people will die in this snow disaster by then?
Xiao Feng glanced at her worried young master; she wouldn't stand by and watch this happen.
Chirp: "Little Phoenix!"
Xiao Feng: "Yes!"
Chiu Chiu: "I'm going to search the Divine Pavilion to see if there's anything useful. You stay in my room and guard it; don't let anyone in."
"Yes, Master!"
The temperature dropped sharply again, and people outside were barely able to stay warm.
Mr. Meng, the loan shark, couldn't smile despite seeing the room full of gold.
Boss Meng was so cold that his teeth were chattering.
"Damn it! I have to survive! If I die, I'll never get those debts back!"
Er Gouzi, one of Boss Meng's henchmen, ran over.
Boss Meng: "How's it going? Did you find any food outside? I'm starving!"
Er Gouzi was shivering from the cold, his lips were turning blue. He said, "Boss, we didn't find any food. But I heard something interesting."
Boss Meng: "What's the matter? Let's not be so gossipy right now! Let's find something to eat and save our lives first!"
Er Gouzi said excitedly, "Yes, it's about life and death. I heard there's a place outside, a shelter built by a kind person. There's food and drink there, and it's not cold. But I heard only poor people can go in. Rich people like you, they won't accept you! Achoo—"
Er Gouzi just came back from outside and is freezing.
He was trembling as he spoke, and he couldn't help but sneeze, which landed right on Boss Meng's face.
Er Gouzi was terrified and quickly used his sleeve to wipe Boss Meng's face.
Er Gouzi: "Yes, I'm sorry, boss!"
Boss Meng kicked Er Gouzi aside and said, "Why didn't you say something so important sooner! Let's go! Take our men and seize that place!"
Er Gouzi: "Sure, but they only accept poor people. You're so rich..."
Boss Meng glared at Er Gouzi.
Er Gouzi stopped talking when he saw his fierce appearance.
Boss Meng: "I may be a rich man, but what does money mean these days! Besides, which poor person around here doesn't owe me money? If they owe me money, they have to make room for me! If I tell them to get out, they have to get out."
Er Gouzi chimed in, "Yes, yes! Boss, you're absolutely right!"
Boss Meng picked up a thick, heavy stick from the ground and said to Er Gouzi, "Let's go! Grab your weapons, I don't believe we can't drive away those poor bastards!"
Er Gouzi: "Yes, boss!"
