In reality, the weather in January is sunny and spring-like, but in January in the north it is bone-chillingly cold.
Zhangjiazhuang would suffer from lack of food and clothing during this time in previous years.
During this time, hunting becomes difficult, and when the ice and snow melt, it absorbs a lot of heat, causing the temperature and body feel to be completely different.
When Zhang Xuezhou woke up, he felt that his hands and feet, which had been lying there for seven days, were freezing to the core.
This was true even though Dong Zhongshu and others had covered him with quilts and lit a fire in the room.
Even Zhang Xuezhou's head was still a little dizzy at this time.
"Ma...please open the window to ventilate the air, we are going to be poisoned by carbon monoxide!"
Looking at the charcoal fire burning in the room, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but feel lucky that he was strong and had many evasive skills. As long as he continued to burn charcoal for warmth, he would have a high chance of becoming paralyzed in seven days.
He shouted, breaking the dullness of the room.
"What poison?"
Zhao Liang, whose eyes were twitching, tightened his clothes and pushed Zhang Bayang, who was dozing by the table.
Zhao Liang did not open the window, but helped Zhang Xuezhou up.
Seeing Zhang Xuezhou holding on to push the window, he couldn't help but shrink his neck.
"The wind is quite cool this day..."
The window was opened, and a cool breeze from the north suddenly blew into the accommodation wing.
"Where are Accountant Du and Mr. Ruan Qigong?"
The cold wind entered the room. When Zhang Xuezhou took a big breath of fresh air, he felt that he was awake for a few minutes. Zhang Bayang, who was lying next to the table, was hit by the cold wind, and his body suddenly stood up.
"Director Dongfang, you're freezing me to death," Zhang Bayang trembled.
"Southerners are a little uncomfortable here," Zhao Liang said, "We can't stand the bone-chilling cold in Fuping County, so only Accountant Du and Ruan Qigong went out to do business!"
The climate is very different from the south to the north. They could hold on for a while before their body senses changed. But when their bodies felt the coldness of the north, Zhao Liang and Zhang Bayang, who were both ill, couldn't hold on.
Zhang Xuezhou lay in bed for seven days, while Zhao Liang and Zhang Bayang waited in the side room for two days.
"Then you haven't entered the military camp?" Zhang Xuezhou said.
"No, no, no, no," Zhao Liang shook his head repeatedly and said, "Accountant Du and Ruan Qigong took some money to find connections to see if they can drag on the connections to meet General Li. Even if they stay away, they can just shout a word first!"
"That's a good idea!"
Zhang Xuezhou nodded.
Opening a path with money is the simplest and most effective way, as it can avoid too many intermediate links.
At the moment, Dong Zhongshu and Zhang Cigong were obviously still trying to open up a relationship, which made Zhang Xuezhou think about returning to Chengdu first after adjusting his breath and eating some food.
In order to avoid becoming enemies with 30 million lunatics, Zhang Xuezhou felt that it was necessary to solve the problem of any life's soul leaving the body.
Regardless of whether methods such as summoning souls and collecting souls are effective, he needs to try it at least.
"I'll go out and look for Accountant Du!"
After shouting to Zhao Liang and Zhang Bayang, Zhang Xuezhou stretched out his hands and feet, and then got out of the wing.
"They northerners are really not afraid of the cold!"
"It's too cold today. Hurry up and seal the windows so that no wind can leak in!"
The sound of low-pitched exchanges came from the room, Zhang Xuezhou shook his head, and then quickly walked out along the alley.
When the heavy curtain was lifted, the ice and snow of the North came into full view.
At this time, the ice and snow have stopped for a long time and are in the melting stage. Black muddy water and ice slag are everywhere.
Zhang Xuezhou stepped on the muddy water and pulled up his heavenly clothes to protect his hands.
"The teacher didn't even give me a full-body suit!"
The sky-high clothes are breathable and provide protection from the cold and heat, so Zhang Xuezhou's body does not get cold.
If the sky clothes are lengthened and covered more properly, his hands will not get cold.
But the soles of my bare feet couldn't bear the cold.
After stepping on it for a few times, Zhang Xuezhou felt that the soles of his feet had been perfectly combined with the ice slag water.
He is like this, and there are very few people on the streets of Fuping County.
In this season, everyone has to save money on food and clothing to get through this cold spring stage. Most people are huddled in their rooms like Zhao Liang and others.
If they can supply their own needs and extra ingredients, they can be sold at a good price. Occasionally, some hunters will carry the prey they hunt on their backs and sell them door to door to earn money for the winter.
Zhang Xuezhou kept walking along the street.
Fuping County is not that big. Whether he goes south or north, he can get out of Fuping County.
If it hadn't been for the bright weather at this time, which would easily draw the attention of military patrols, Zhang Xuezhou would have already spread his wings and soared high.
But his delay was not long.
After traveling quickly for a quarter of an hour, Zhang Xuezhou had already seen the nearly ten-meter-high city wall.
As one of the eight major counties in the north, Fuping County is far less prosperous than counties in the south, but Fuping County's military defense is far beyond the comparison of many cities in the south.
It was not cold on the tower, and there was even a team of sergeants patrolling back and forth, and there were loud shouts of training from members of the small team.
As a city prepared for war, inspections and guards in Fuping County are far stricter than Zhang Xuezhou imagined.
Even when he went out to Fuping County, he went through repeated verifications.
"There is really no food at home. I have to go outside to find some rabbits, pheasants or something!"
Zhang Xuezhou's reason was that he needed to go out of the county for hunting, and being hungry was a very valid reason for leaving the city.
After going back and forth for a while, the sergeants released Zhang Xuezhou.
"It's hard to find pheasants and rabbits now. If you search more in the ground, you might be able to find some gophers. They can always find food. Maybe you can dig some dried fruits along the tunnels!"
"Stay for another month and the land will thaw!"
"This early spring is really cold this year!"
Some sergeants warned Zhang Xuezhou, while others complained.
Zhang Xuezhou raised his hand to express his thanks.
The traces of being trampled outside the city were not too obvious, and his people walked farther and farther in the snow.
It wasn't until he walked several miles away that Zhang Xuezhou activated his demonic power.
Pieces of bronze feathers showed through, and he ran for a few steps before flying into the air.
It is about two hundred miles from Fuping County to Rongcheng.
This kind of distance is the distance traveled by chariots and horses, and it will be much shorter if a straight-line distance is used.
Zhang Xuezhou clearly understood the direction and roughly knew the location of Rongcheng. While flying, he noticed some ruts left on the ground, which allowed him to more accurately identify the location of Rongcheng.
In the roaring wind and waves, his body quickly passed through the plains and mountain forest areas.
Until a relatively familiar village appeared in the distance, Zhang Xuezhou had completely determined his location.
In the past, Longmen Village, which was more than 20 miles away from Chengdu, was crossed in a short time. Zhang Xuezhou even saw Mu Taoist's Taoist temple that had been burned down and rebuilt.
This made him fold his wings from a distance, and then fall to the ground gracefully.
When Zhang Xuezhou walked along the muddy road to the Taoist temple, he could not help but feel a little emotional when he saw the familiar old place again.
"Bang bang bang!"
He knocked on the door, and when no one in the Taoist temple answered, Zhang Xuezhou knocked harder.
"Who comes here to offer incense in this freezing cold weather!"
When a familiar voice came, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but feel a little stunned.
When the door of the Taoist temple opened, Rong Tianding wearing a Taoist bun and a Taoist robe immediately came into view behind the door.
"Cousin?"
When the door of the Taoist temple opened, he suddenly saw Zhang Xuezhou in thin clothes. Rong Tianding was also shocked, and then quickly pulled Zhang Xuezhou through the door.
"Cousin, how did you become a Taoist priest?"
"Cousin, where have you been all these years?"
Not only Zhang Xuezhou was surprised, Rong Tianding was also obviously shocked.
Zhang Xuezhou didn't live in the Rong family for a long time, but this short time made the Rong family look like a different person.
