The three people in front of me were none other than the three brothers who broke into the villa yesterday!
The scarred man's face also showed a look of shock: "The old folks often talk about a final burst of energy before death. Could it be that my two brothers and I are nearing our end and starting to hallucinate?"
The bearded man sniffed hard: "It really seems like a hallucination! Brother, I can even smell roast duck, roast chicken, roast goose, and roast fish!"
Skinny Monkey pinched his thigh: "Big brother, second brother, this doesn't seem to be a hallucination! I pinched my thigh hard and it didn't hurt at all!"
The bearded man slapped him on the thin shoulder and cursed, "Of course it doesn't hurt! You son of a bitch, you pinched my thigh!"
Skinny Monkey quickly looked down and realized that he had indeed pinched his second brother's thigh. He quickly let go and asked, "Does it hurt?"
The bearded man was on the verge of tears as he was pinched: "I'll pinch you, you'll see if it hurts!"
Damn it, that bastard third brother really went all out!
He pinched my thigh until it was bruised!
Could it be that he has a grudge against me from the beginning and is doing this on purpose?
Skinny Monkey, ignoring the bearded man's attempts to appease him, exclaimed with a gleam in his eyes, "That means it's not an illusion! The villa is real! What are we waiting for? Let's go in and stay another night!"
The three brothers had been walking across the vast ice field for a day without finding their way out, and now their bodies were almost frozen stiff.
As soon as they finished speaking, the three of them strode towards the door.
When they reached the door, it opened from the inside.
Standing at the door was Luo Xinglan.
The three brothers made such a big commotion that it was hard not to notice them.
The bearded man at the front jumped in surprise: "Holy crap, are you a human or a ghost?"
Luo Xinglan was somewhat speechless: "What do you think?"
The bearded man glanced at the ground and, seeing her shadow, breathed a sigh of relief: "If you have a shadow, then you must be a person!"
Luo Xinglan: "Nonsense, of course I'm a human. Why would a ghost open the door for you?"
She wouldn't have opened the door for them if it weren't for the fact that the three brothers had left them warm stones as compensation last time.
Moreover, they were running out of warm stones; exploring this icy plain was impossible without the warmth-repelling incense.
But they couldn't find the warm stone no matter what they tried.
She wanted to see if the three of them still had any warm stones.
The scarred man pushed his beard behind him, clasped his hands in a fist and said cheerfully, "Hello, young lady. We three brothers have traveled a long way and are cold and tired. We would like to ask to stay at your villa for the night. We hope you can do us a favor."
Luo Xinglan couldn't help but glance at him.
The scarred man left her with a fairly good impression both times; he was quite polite, unlike his fierce appearance.
Luo Xinglan softened her tone: "You can stay here, but what kind of payment do you want?"
The bearded man couldn't help but puff out his beard: "You want payment? Young lady, that's really unfair of you. You're just staying here, how dare you ask us for payment? Isn't that taking advantage of your misfortune?"
Luo Xinglan glanced at him: "Who said I'm just staying here? I'm the owner of this villa."
Bearded man: "Impossible! Sister, don't try to fool me. To tell you the truth, we stayed in a villa just like this last night, an identical villa! The villa has no owner at all. Where did you come from?"
Although he still doesn't understand why that villa appeared here out of nowhere.
Luo Xinglan: "This is my villa. You damaged the door of my villa yesterday, and I haven't settled the score with you yet."
The bearded man immediately fell silent.
No, this villa really is hers?
Otherwise, how would she know that they had damaged the villa door?
Scarred Man: "Miss, we had no choice but to break down the door yesterday, but we left some warm stones as compensation before we left, so please forgive us. How about this, we'll pay you, whether it's points or supplies, we'll give you everything! How about we stay for the night?"
Luo Xinglan looked at him again: "Since you're still polite, I can let you stay for one night. As for the payment, you can still give it to Nuanshi."
The scarred man was surprised: "Heatstone? Although that thing can emit a faint warmth when carried on your person, it has no other use. Are you sure you want the heatstone as payment?"
He thought the girl would ask for points.
After all, points are the primary condition for survival.
Luo Xinglan: "Of course, ten warm stones a night, what do you think?"
Ten warm stones can be used to make ten cold-dispelling incense sticks, which can be used for another ten days.
Ten days is enough for them to get out of the ice field.
"Sure, sure, of course no problem!" The scarred man said, taking out a large handful of warm stones and handing them to Luo Xinglan. "These are all for you! Keep the change!"
Luo Xinglan glanced down and saw that there were more than ten yuan, perhaps even twenty yuan.
However, they had searched for so long without finding it, so how did the three men with the scarred face obtain it?
However, she didn't ask any more questions, since they were just landlord and tenant, and no one was obligated to answer her questions.
She stepped aside to make way, and the three of them immediately entered the villa.
When I came in, I found that the villa was full of people.
The scarred man glanced casually at them and nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
The next moment, his gaze settled on one of them.
A moment later, he suddenly walked up to Jiang Hongying and knelt down with a thud.
This sudden change shocked everyone.
The scarred man kowtowed three times, saying, "Heroine, thank you so much for saving my life!"
Jiang Hongying quickly bent down to help him up: "You've mistaken me for someone else, haven't you? I've never saved you before..."
