Chapter 4: There is a female hero in Jiangzhou

The heroine acted with remarkable skill; although she had dragged along another person, she still moved with grace and speed. It did not take long before they arrived at an inn called "Ru Gui".

The survival skills honed by long-term homeless children immediately astonished him: "In this heavy snowstorm, how can I possibly sleep while hiding in a dilapidated earth temple? To sleep is to die!"

Am I dreaming?

Upon reaching the door of the newly opened guest room, she forcefully pushed Zhang Shaochen into the room and then turned to leave.

There are water chestnuts ... ... they are truly delicious ... ...

Zhang Shaochen felt dizzy and had not yet fully grasped the situation before him

The consequence of making a mistake is that, amidst the howling wind and snow, Zhang Shaochen is still clad in a thin autumn garment

"Yes, did you wake me up?" Zhang Shaochen asked with difficulty.

Occasionally, there are a few who walk hurriedly forward, with their hands tucked in, necks drawn in, and heads lowered

But it is only slightly better than standing directly in the wind and snow

Uh? Guest room?

Is this not a dream?

Oh no! I actually moved into an inn

The boy curled up in the earth temple, his eyes tightly shut, as cold winds carried snowflakes that struck against him, making his body grow increasingly colder

In such weather, do not even think about any river or lake delicacies. If you continue to loiter outside, not only will you not catch any fish, but you will also freeze to death yourself

What on earth is going on?

Upon thinking of this section, the woman dressed as a daughter of the rivers and lakes nodded slightly, secretly contemplating: "It seems that this little beggar has quite a connection with me, Ye Fengyi"

Although at this moment he could no longer open his eyes and could hardly move his hands and feet, he still exerted an incredibly strong will to force himself to open his eyes, rescuing himself from that seemingly comfortable yet extremely dangerous dream

Sigh, when I was young, I particularly loved the snow, what was I thinking? The young boy wrapped himself tightly in his tattered cloth garment, bitterly smiling as he thought, "Every winter, I would constantly shout at my mother, asking when it would snow."

He stood there in a daze, silently observing the exquisite and elegant furnishings in the guest room

It is important to know that these inns were merely places for me to beg for alms in the past

How wonderful summer is, with the scorching sun shining brightly, the warmth is almost enough to melt both people and books, what a feeling it is...

Yes. I am awake. Did I just fall asleep? Zhang Shaochen is still somewhat disoriented.

It is as if this cold wind is his natural enemy, vowing not to relent until it has frozen him to death

He curled up beside the divine throne, leaning against the tattered thick curtain of the temple door, shielding himself from the wind and snow outside

Sigh, how childish of me, I should like summer

"Are you awake?" The young woman exclaimed with surprise

But regardless of whether he dies more dramatically than his peers, Zhang Shaochen is finally going to freeze to death on this snowy winter day

Not good

Come, follow me, I will take you to the inn to rest

Hello! Wake up, wake up!

Thinking of this, she spoke to the young man in the kindest voice: "Little brother, in this cold weather, hiding here is not a solution."

The biting cold wind, carrying snowflakes as large as goose feathers, seemed to bear a grudge against him, howling as it blew against the ragged curtain, relentlessly forcing its way inside, determined to leave his hands and feet icy cold

Enough, enough, enough. Today, I leave my master's door, proclaiming myself a heroine. I am about to wield my sword in the rivers and lakes, acting with righteousness. How can I stand by and watch a little beggar about to freeze to death?

What a terrible weather! The young man, who was originally looking for work everywhere, cursed and ran into a nearby small earth temple

When did you ever go up to the second floor? Did you even stay in the guest room?

However, for the ragged young boy, on this snowy day, even the slightest hint of warmth would make him regard this place as a paradise.

Just as the youth was about to slide into eternal darkness, a faint whisper suddenly entered his mind

Looking at Zhang Shaochen's appearance, one can tell that he is a destitute vagrant. When the snowstorm arrives, he seeks refuge in the earth god temple

At this moment, there are few pedestrians on the streets of Xunyang in Jiangzhou

It is still this snowy winter that is a dream, but in reality, it is summer now

I have moved into the guest room

At that moment, he saw a beautiful woman's face appearing before him, her expression filled with anxiety as she continuously shouted something at him.

Just as he was filled with surprise and joy, he suddenly turned his joy into worry: "No! Although this guest room is nice and sheltered from the wind, did that benefactor lady just now actually pay for the room?"

However, his complexion became increasingly strange, not only revealing a hint of abnormal flush, but under the assault of the wind and snow, he gradually even displayed a faint smile

Inn? Zhang Shaochen felt a wave of confusion, as the concept of an "inn" had never been related to him.

However, what kind of refuge can this dilapidated earth temple provide

Hmm. Seeing him like this, how could this woman not know what had just happened?

Who is calling me

Still in a daze, Zhang Shaochen was taken upstairs by the female hero to a guest room on the second floor

After a considerable amount of time, Zhang Shaochen finally came to his senses

Perhaps there is

Oh? It seems that I can already smell the fragrance of the lotus seed pod

At that moment, Zhang Shaochen suddenly realized that he had made a colossal mistake: he had imagined that Xunyang City, located between the rivers and lakes, would have plenty of river and lake delicacies, and as long as he was willing to put in the effort, making a living would not be a problem; however, gazing at the snowflakes dancing in the sky, he realized that he had come at the wrong time

Seeing his confusion, the heroine Ye Fengyi thought he had not yet regained his senses, and said nothing more. She simply grabbed him and together they plunged into the vast wind and snow, heading straight towards the heart of the market in Xunyang City.

Just like many beggars who perished from hunger and cold in the heavy snow, today, Zhang Shaochen has finally followed in the footsteps of his fellow companions

After struggling for a while, and with the apparent effort of someone shaking him vigorously, he finally managed to fully open his eyes, move his hands and feet, and gradually regain some of his consciousness

In fact, this Ru Gui Inn is merely an ordinary inn; the guest rooms recently opened by the heroine Ye are also just ordinary guest rooms

In this heavy snow and freezing weather, where can one go to catch river and lake delicacies?

In summer, there are lotus flowers, lotus seed pods, and water chestnuts. The lotus seeds are so fragrant, and the water chestnuts are so sweet and crunchy. Taking a bite, one can only exclaim...

Regardless of whether he is dreaming, let me first savor the fragrance of lotus seeds and water chestnuts

I just wonder if the other beggars who froze to death experienced hallucinations of seeing delicious food before they became frozen and died

I am really about to fall asleep

If I had not just passed by here, I would not have known why, on a whim, I peered through the torn curtain at the temple entrance. I fear that this little beggar will soon freeze to death
