Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 698 - 121 If You Don’t Obey, I Have My Ways
Kang kangs is a technical craft, but luckily, right next to the school is a construction site, inhabited by multitalented foremen.
It’s just the work of making a raised heated bed in a cellar, a task like which people here have never seen in their lifetime.
But it’s not to say it can’t be done; a meal of meat and alcohol gets it settled.
The real problem lies not with the bed, but with the air-raid shelter.
Truth be told, Wang Yunxiao and the others only occupy a few rooms at the entrance, used for storing canned luncheon meat and some miscellaneous items, and they have never ventured deeper.
Who knows how deep it extends; based on the experience of the last time they explored an air-raid shelter, it could possibly run for several kilometers.
What if something bizarre and peculiar emerges from inside and devours Eldest Miss Li?
Wang Yunxiao took his brothers for a round inside; they walked for a good two hours and still couldn’t find the end.
From the map drawn along the way, this was almost equivalent to connecting dozens of residential area’s underground garages together; the pathways were intertwined and complex, with even stairs extending downward.
It’s certain that this is not an object from this era.
"Big brother, I have an idea."
Youtiao followed behind Wang Yunxiao, muttering softly.
"Do you think this place will undergo changes only at the beginning or the middle of the month?"
That makes sense!
That’s what Wang Yunxiao thought too.
Since it’s not a product of the Real World, it must definitely be related to the Outer Dimension.
The secrets here might only reveal themselves when the Real World intersects with the Outer Dimension.
So, they decided to wait until then.
By the time they returned, the heated bed had already been set up.
With sufficient manpower and materials, building a kang doesn’t really take that long.
The problem is ventilation.
Wang Yunxiao chose a room near the entrance, which was quite spacious, almost fifty or sixty square meters.
There were ventilation ducts on the wall, directly extending to the entrance.
Fortunately, it wasn’t blocked.
A space over fifty square meters is actually not suitable for sleeping. The foremen suggested building a wall in the middle to create a separate living room and kitchen area; where they could heat the bed in one room and cook in the other without any interference.
Building the wall is not difficult, but it needs to dry for about a week.
By the time you finish here, isn’t Eldest Miss Li going to freeze into an icicle?
This woman really is delicate.
Youtiao’s eyes twinkled with a new idea.
"Why don’t we go to Meng Wei’s house instead? They have a heated bed too, it’s nearby, has the Church’s protection, and there has never been any problem. Isn’t Sister Cui boarding at the teachers’ college? She could keep her company."
Wang Yunxiao glanced at him sideways: "We’ve already built the wall here, and now you think of this?"
Youtiao spread his hands: "I was worried Eldest Miss Li wouldn’t agree, big brother, you know she’s a bit of a clean freak."
That’s indeed true.
And Wang Yunxiao himself hadn’t thought of it initially.
It is said, ’too much uncertainty lurks outside the widow’s door’...
Walking out of the air-raid shelter, Wang Yunxiao involuntarily shivered.
Looking up, the snowflakes were still falling. Not only did they show no signs of stopping, but they were getting bigger.
The ground was almost covered with about three inches of snow.
What kind of absurd weather is this?
The foreman who came out with them lit a cigarette, took a puff, and sighed, "If the snow doesn’t stop, people are going to freeze to death!"
...
Li Mumu sleepily opened her eyes and peeked her head out from under the covers, first touching her forehead.
No fever.
Just drowsy, wanting to hibernate.
Well then, consider this an accomplishment.
But before hibernating, she didn’t stock up enough fat, and now her stomach was grumbling.
She craved hot pot again.
The hot pot at noon wasn’t spicy enough; she really wanted a taste of Bashu’s butter hot pot.
"Sister Mumu, are you awake?"
Jiang Xiaotang came over and whispered, "Do you have a stomachache? Do you want some brown sugar water?"
"Is there brown sugar?"
"Yes, my elder brother had Dumpling go out and buy some for you, along with some hot water."
"Thank you, please make me a cup."
Li Mumu got up and wrapped herself into a ball.
If it were a hundred years later, brown sugar water indeed wouldn’t solve women’s physiological problems.
But in this era, a cup of brown sugar water could bring someone back from the brink of death.
While Li Mumu was holding the large teacup and slurping the water, Wang Yunxiao knocked and came in.
"This is the girls’ dormitory..."
"That’s why I knocked."
Wang Yunxiao sat down in front of Li Mumu’s bed, examined her complexion closely to make sure there were no major issues, then spoke, "Let’s find a place to stay tonight, either I can take you to a hotel or to Meng Wei’s house. It’s not far, her home has a heated brick bed, and it’s warmer than here."
"It’s okay, I think I can adapt."
"The snow hasn’t stopped outside, and it might get even colder tomorrow."
Li Mumu suddenly fell silent.
"I don’t want to stay outside."
Just thinking about going back and forth to school, she’d rather freeze to death in the dormitory.
"Listen to me, just stay for two days and then you can come back. I’ve arranged a warm place for you downstairs, it’s just not ready yet."
"Then I’ll go downstairs!"
"I said it’s not ready yet!"
"I don’t care, I’m going downstairs!"
Wang Yunxiao silently stared at her for three seconds, then pulled a bundle of rope from his arms.
Li Mumu: "???"
"What are you going to do?"
"Think again, are we going to a hotel, or to Meng Wei’s house?" 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
"Wang Yunxiao! Are you trying to play rogue? Believe it or not, I will shout for help!"
"Go ahead, shout. Even if you scream your lungs out, no one will bother with you."
Wang Yunxiao expressionless.
"Will you walk by yourself, or should I help you? But don’t blame me if I have to get physical."
How could there be such a horrible person!
Li Mumu was on the verge of tears.
Reluctantly grumbling, she dressed and followed Wang Yunxiao out of the school.
The wind outside was like little knives against Li Mumu’s face, making her shiver violently.
Wang Yunxiao crouched down and said, "I’ll carry you."
"No! Men and women should not touch!"
"Haven’t we already been close?"
"What nonsense are you talking!"
"I’ve even touched your hand."
"I can walk by myself! I don’t need you to carry me!"
Li Mumu gritted her teeth.
It’s just because I’m not feeling energetic right now, otherwise, I’d bite you to death!
Meng Family’s large courtyard was not far from the school, and by the time Wang Yunxiao brought Li Mumu there, Meng Wei had already returned home and explained Li Mumu’s situation to Cui Xiaoying.
Cui Xiaoying was tending the fire in the kitchen and quickly invited them inside.
Indeed, this home was warm with its heated brick bed.
Even ordinary homes had their ways of keeping out the cold; although the windows were drafty, they had special wooden boards to block them.
As long as one could afford firewood, the house could be heated as much as desired.
Wang Yunxiao, of course, would not take advantage of the widow’s modesty and immediately pulled out some Silver, handing it to Cui Xiaoying saying, "Thank you, Sister. If there’s anything you need, just let me know."
Cui Xiaoying quickly refused, "Oh, that won’t do, I already heard from Wei about how you and Student Li have looked after her at the school. Now, it’s just a matter of adding a bit more firewood. If you give me money, that would be too formal."
