The fire in the room burned, reflecting half of the floor red.
Listening to the crackling sound of firewood and looking at the howling north wind and snow outside the window, Aqima felt warm all over her body.
Perhaps it was the sequelae left by often rummaging for food in the garbage dump as a child. In winter, her hands would develop frostbite and crack and molt. It did not improve after moving to the Sleeping Island. Instead, it became more serious due to long-term contact with salty and fishy seawater.
Now, there are only a few shallow gaps on her fingers, no blood is seen, and she cannot feel the pain. Although the frostbite sores are not unbearable than the pain she suffered when she was wandering and begging, no one will dislike the pain.
She almost forgot this kind of comfortable experience of her body.
The living environment of Wudongcheng is indeed indescribable. Even the most common residence is very different from other towns.
For example, this brick house has thick mortar on both sides of the walls, and each corner of the window is closely connected to bricks and stones. No matter how strong the wind and snow outside are, the indoor room will not be affected much, otherwise it will be difficult to maintain sufficient temperature with a fireplace alone.
If it were an ordinary residence in Jinsui City, the air was leaking everywhere at this moment, and the doors and windows were whistling.
In addition, there are holes in the fireplace, which can introduce part of the heat under the bed in the next bedroom. When the fire is turned off late at night, the bed will be basically warm.
And that's just a small part of what she found.
For example, similar details are everywhere in Wudong City. The longer you live, the deeper your feelings will be, sometimes Aqima can't help but wonder that this city was not built because people need to settle here.
It is a paradise born for enjoyment.
As for why it is built in the Western Region, which is most affected by the evil moon, it is because of the strong contrast: the warmth felt in the four seasons is obviously not as impressive as the warmth under the ice and snow.
The more impossible the thing is, the more commendable it is when it is achieved.
For a moment, she almost believed the idea herself.
The soup is stewed and it is ready for dinner.Doris walked out of the kitchen with a pot of soup and placed it on the low table in the living room.
...Please trouble you, Aqima handed a cushion to the other party and sat down at the table.
Two dishes and one soup are all made of mushrooms, which are called Bird Kiss Mushrooms. They have an excellent thick taste and fragrant juice. There is no need for extra seasoning. Just sprinkle with some salt, and it will be delicious no matter what you make.
But she also knew that this was actually the cheapest ingredient in Wudong City, and its price was comparable to wheat.
Hehe, I took advantage of the market to clear the stall and sell it, and bought a lot of mushrooms in the house. Doris said happily that even if the food is out of stock this winter, these mushrooms should be enough for us to last until the beginning of spring.Although it will not taste so delicious after being left for a long time, it will at least fill your stomach.
Aqima scooped up a spoonful of soup, and under the reflection of the fire, the oily flowers floating on the soup noodles reflected a golden luster, which looked quite attractive.
When it was put into her mouth, the full fresh fragrance immediately filled her mouth and flowed into her stomach along the hot soup, making her whole abdomen warm.
It still has an impeccable taste, but she has no appetite for the past.
After drinking only two spoons, Aqima put down the small bowl in her hand.
What's wrong?Doris quickly noticed her strangeness.
I was wondering...Is the decision that day wrong? After a long silence, Aqima whispered, "It should have been my plan to leave here alone, but now it has caused everyone and their relatives who have been together for a long time to lose the opportunity to live a better life."If Bai Li and the others had not escaped from the Maleficent Curse, they might have lived in a large heated house at this moment, rather than several people huddled in a small house without even space to turn over.
Why did you suddenly say this? Doris was stunned for a moment, and then comforted him, no matter how small the house was, it was always a place to shelter from the wind and rain. Moreover, their relatives would move out one after another after saving up the down payment. Although it was not as good as the Maleficent residence, I think it would be very good for two people to live there.Compared to when I was wandering
But now it is not the past!She interrupted the other person, and her tone was even a little irritable.
Aqima had miscalculated her ability and the situation. In the past, she could have taken everyone to search in the garbage dump for a long time or competed for food with a group of wild dogs. How could she be so embarrassed and do such a thing?
Even if the other sisters didn't care, she would never want Tilly's group to see her jokes.
She submitted several job applications to the city hall as an ordinary resident, but none of them were approved.
The Ministry of Construction and Ministry of Industry recruited all strong adult men, which meant that she could not work at the minimum construction site and furnace area.
In addition, most positions actually have literacy requirements, and those with slightly better treatment also need a primary education diploma.
Even the clerk of the city hall suggested that she go to the college to complete her studies first, so as not to delay her bright future.
Among the six people today, only Doris and Bai Li have an unstable job: the former is employed by the Witch Alliance and has secondary demonized the enchanted bronze wand created by Miss My Moon, with a salary close to those witches living in the castle, and they can earn thirty or forty silver wolves in almost a day.
Unfortunately, this job is not available every day, and it may not be available once a week at a small time.
The latter started in a tailor shop. Since it had nothing to do with ability, the reward was basically the same as that of ordinary people, ranging from fifteen to twenty silver wolves a month, depending on the specific working day.
The other sisters also encountered the same dilemma as themselves.
In other words, the living expenses of the six of them all fell on Doris and Bai Li.
Because of this, the warmer and comfortable life is, the more guilty Aqima feels, at the beginning, she rejected Wendy's kindness, and wanted to prove to the guy named Nightingale that she is definitely not a coward. Even if she does not rely on the Maleficent Curse, she can continue as she wishes.
But now this situation undoubtedly makes her feel embarrassed.
Therefore, there was also a hint of impatience in her voice.
But as soon as I blurted out, Aqima regretted it. Sorry, I don't want to...
It's okay, Doris held her hand, I know your mood, and what I want to say is that everyone decided to leave Maleficent together because they agreed with your thoughts. This is not anyone's fault.As for small things like living expenses, you don’t have to take them seriously. You have paid so much for us before, can’t we repay some now?
What do you say to repay? I didn't do it for your repayment.
Then the same is true for us, can we?Doris blinked.
But... Aqima didn't know what to do for a moment. Looking at the other person with a sincere face, she suddenly felt something surging in her eyes, which had not appeared for a long time. It was as strange as an iron lock covered with rust, and it was even a little sour when it opened again.
However, she tried her best to endure it. As the leader everyone trusted, her words just now were out of control, and she could not allow herself to make mistakes again and again.
Just then, a knock sounded outside the door.
who?She quickly turned her head, pulled her hand back and stood up, both for inquiries and for cover-up.
It was me, Wendy, the other party replied, His Majesty Roland wants to talk to you.
Listening to the crackling sound of firewood and looking at the howling north wind and snow outside the window, Aqima felt warm all over her body.
