A fire was burning inside, making the whole house warm and cozy.
Jiang Zhiliu sat by the fire, warming his frozen body. As his body gradually warmed up, the pain of his skin peeling off followed.
It started with my fingers, feeling like they were being bitten by countless ants, both itchy and painful. Then it started with my feet, and the pain seemed to go right to my bones.
