Jing Huaian went forward and knocked on the city gate. After a long time, the gate slowly opened. The guards guarding the gate walked out weakly, took a look at their ultimatum and let them pass.
As soon as he entered, Yuchi Xi felt the temperature had risen significantly.
The heat from the ground rose up, almost turning into substance. There was not a single stall around, and the doors of every household were closed.
Yuchi Xi asked the listless guard beside him, "Brother, what's going on?"
"Is there no one selling things at this hour?"
The guard glanced at her and said, "At this hour, everyone is asleep at home!"
"It's so hot, who would want to go out and do business? It's so hot!"
"This is your first time here, right? You'll understand after you've been here for a few days. It's been a long time since it rained here."
"The sun shines brightly every day."

Yuchi Xi: That’s awesome!
Is this some special skill?

Yuchi Xi did not disturb their rest. She went straight to the front and asked the shopkeeper to book a room. As soon as she entered the room, she felt very stuffy.

Yuchi Xi took a careful look but didn't find anything unusual. He decided to wait until night to check again.
Jing Huaian went to get her some ice cubes, put them in a wooden barrel, placed it in the room, and then fanned it with a round fan, and the wind that came out was cool.
Yuchi Xi hurried over and squatted.
