Chapter 600: Kiss (5)
At this moment, people were also walking towards the center of Wanli Lake. Cai Lin was shivering from the cold. Although he was already wearing very thick clothes and a fur cloak, the lake surface was always much colder than the ground. Especially the ice under his feet, the cold air penetrated directly into his feet through his boots, making even a spoiled young man like Cai Lin feel a little overwhelmed.
"What's on this lake?" Cai Lin asked his usual like-minded friends, "Why are people all looking this way so early in the morning?"
Early in the morning, Cai Lin found the young men he usually played with. He had originally planned to go to the gambling house today, but his friends said that there was a big commotion in Wanli Lake and insisted on dragging him along to see it.
"Actually, I don't know either," the man said, "but I heard from the servants that there was something, so I dragged you along to see it. Hehe," he leaned closer to Cai Lin and whispered, "Normally, we only hear about corpses in plays and books, but today we can see the real thing."
"Corpse?" Cai Lin was startled and quickly said, "I'm not going." Although he usually enjoyed some novelty, it was all talk and no action. Deep down, he was still a bit timid. Even though he used to be known as a little bully, he was defeated by Shen Miao on the inspection table two years ago. Now, he seemed to be more obedient.
But the friend persisted, saying, "We've come all the way here, just go and take a look, just take a look, what are you afraid of?"
Cai Lin hated seeing people get excited, so he immediately said, "Why would I be afraid? I'll go with you right now! I want to see what it is that's worth getting so excited about."
The two of them had already walked most of the way and were now very close to the center of the lake. By the time they reached the center, a number of people had gathered outside, pointing and talking. Cai Lin's friend pulled the crowd aside, squeezed to the front, and pointed at something in the middle, saying, "Look, look, that's it!"
Cai Lin then raised his eyes and looked upwards.
Dingjing's winters are cold, especially these days. If you leave a bucket of water outside in the yard, it's bound to be frozen solid the next day. And anything that gets wet, like tree branches or eaves, will inevitably be covered in icicles after a night.
In the center of Wanli Lake are three standing "ice sculptures".
To call them ice sculptures is not actually accurate. In those three human-shaped ice blocks, one can clearly see the clear appearance of people in the transparent ice surface. It is precisely because of this that one can clearly understand that these are not things carefully carved by skilled craftsmen, but three real living people, or rather, people who were frozen to death and frozen into ice sculptures in their pre-death form.
What is most amazing is the posture of these three people.
In the center was clearly a woman, her clothing undone, revealing most of her snow-white body. The man beside her was reaching to undo her bellyband, while the man behind her held her waist from behind. The woman tilted her head back, half leaning against the man's back. Though her expression was a little stiff, her ecstatic movements resembled a living, erotic scene, stirring the imagination. The crowds surrounding the ice sculpture were mostly men, ranging from ordinary people to wealthy young men. Some were drawn to the scene for the novelty, while others simply wanted to see it. Even if it was a corpse, it was still a beautiful woman. Furthermore, the ice sculpture was so lifelike that, far from being terrifying, it exuded a sense of eroticism from within.
But the truth was ignored.
