Chapter 60 - 60

Chapter 60 Facing Extreme Cold 4After listening to him, Lin Xiuxiu gained a new understanding of Jin Jun. She used to enjoy reading novels when she was bored.Seeing how powerful the mercenaries were, I never imagined I could have a mercenary boyfriend.It felt like a dream. Seeing that everyone was silent, I smiled and said,"I'll also tell you my story. Don't pity me after you hear it. I just want you to hear my story."When I was born, I was thrown at the door of Orphanage, and a letter was left inside my little clothes.When I went back to Orphanage last time, the director gave me a letter that my mother had left for me.The passage recounts her hardships, how she had no source of income and couldn't raise me, and how she hoped I would be healthy and happy in the future, able to enjoy every day.When I saw that letter, I was actually quite excited. I wanted to find my mom and dad, see what they looked like, and ask them why they abandoned me at the Orphanage doorstep.Su Xiaoyu wanted to pat her shoulder to comfort her, but Jin Jun glared at her, so she could only pull her hand back. She subconsciously touched her nose, feeling a little wronged.If I didn't try to bring them together, he would be glaring at me.Thinking of this, she glared back at Jin Jun, telling him to wait.Jin Jun felt challenged. He couldn't afford to argue with Su Xiaoyu right now, since she was his wife's best male friend. His wife might choose him, after all, they had known each other for several years.They had only been together for a few days.Lin Xiuxiu was lost in her own emotions, oblivious to everything around her, tears slowly streaming down her face."Maybe I'll never know who they are in my life. Maybe they've already forgotten about me, their daughter. Otherwise, why don't they come toOrphanage to find me?"Su Xiaoyu spoke up decisively, "They are blind; abandoning you is their biggest loss."If they raise you, they will see you get into a prestigious university and become an outstanding college student.Xiu, you shouldn't be sad because of their mistakes, you should be happy, otherwise how would you have gotten to know me?"Yes, you're right!" Lin Xiuxiu was cheered up and wiped away her tears with her hand. She just wanted to talk about her own experiences. In this situation, who knows whether tomorrow or an accident will come first?Perhaps she would just fall asleep and be gone; the happiness she had just gained became her obsession.She hasn't married Jin Jun yet, hasn't given him three children, and hasn't even made him a coat...I didn't get to travel the world with Su Xiaoyu. There are so many things I didn't accomplish. I feel resentful, but I don't know what tomorrow will bring.Gu Lingxiao eased the tension by saying, "Now that we've survived this extreme cold, I'm planning to take everyone to a different place to stay. Do you have any good suggestions?""Going to the countryside?" Su Xiaoyu asked.Gu Lingxiao: "It's not impossible. Is there anywhere you'd like to go?"Su Xiaoyu shook her head, "No, there might be fewer people in the countryside, but we need to choose a place with a good location."Xiao Tengyue thought of her hometown and suggested that..."Then let's go to Ningcheng. The scenery in the small mountain villages there is quite nice, there are water sources around, and most importantly, the terrain is very high, so it's safe no matter if it's windy, rainy, or snowy.""Sounds pretty good." Su Xiaoyu felt that living in a high-rise building was inconvenient because of the water supply, but otherwise it was fine.Gu Lingxiao suggested, "Why don't we see where it's suitable to settle down, and if we don't like it, we can move to another place?"Liu Hai: "Boss, are we sure we don't want to go to the base? There are more people there, and we're all capable people. We won't have to worry about food there."Gu Lingxiao: "I haven't considered that issue yet, unless the people building the new base are reliable. Otherwise, think about it, they can't even feed themselves, how can they expect us to?""That's true, just pretend I didn't say anything."Liu Hai felt a little tired and lay down. Only then did he realize that his legs were numb, so he quickly patted them.Seeing him patting his leg, the others couldn't help but stand up and move around. Either their arms or legs were numb, but moving around helped and the numbness subsided.During the day, everyone could still endure it, but the temperature at night dropped several degrees below the daytime temperature, and the phlegm that was spat out would freeze in the bag within seconds.Seeing this situation, Su Xiaoyu felt that letting everyone sleep was a dangerous thing, so she said to them,"How about we stay up all night tonight and no one sleeps, then take turns sleeping during the day tomorrow, what do you say?"Jiang Yan: "Okay, no problem, but I get hungry after a while, what should I do?"Looking at the stove, Lin Xiuxiu thought of potatoes and took a few small potatoes from the bag on the ground and put them in the stove."Let's eat potatoes. If we get hungry, we'll eat potatoes, okay?"Jiang Yan smiled happily, "Sure! I'll eat anything as long as it's hot. Compressed rations are too awful. They leave a bitter taste in my mouth and make me want to drink water. Now I even have trouble drinking water."With food and opportunities to chat, everyone rallied and tried their best not to fall asleep. Those who felt sleepy were woken up along the way, but through sheer willpower, they made it to dawn.Su Xiaoyu wanted to see what was happening outside, so she went to the bedroom and gently lifted the quilt.Only then did I see the scene outside; all the buildings were covered in frost, as if I had entered an ice city.A little further away.On the main road, people were frozen in place, like statues, still in their previous poses.Time seemed to stand still. If it weren't for my own breath falling on the window and turning into frost, I wouldn't have believed that what I was seeing was real.Gu Lingxiao glanced outside, then pulled the quilt back up; the window was probably very flimsy by now.If you use even a little force, the whole window could shatter, which would be dangerous for people.Su Xiaoyu thought about how the original owner of this body died in the extreme cold, and she didn't know if there would be other natural disasters afterward.Could there be other natural disasters to come?Will it be like this?"What are you thinking about?" Gu Lingxiaoasked.Su Xiaoyu looked at him; he hadn't shaved for several days, and his beard had grown back, making him look somewhat weathered.I couldn't resist touching his beard." Brother Xiao, your beard is so thick and long!"Gu Lingxiao didn't flinch when his beard was touched. Instead, he observed Su Xiaoyu. Her mouth area was clean, without a single stray hair. Most importantly, he didn't see her shave.Why don't you grow a beard?"Why should I grow a beard?" Although Su Xiaoyu likes men's beards, she doesn't want to grow one herself."Maybe it will grow in a few years, don't worry,"Gu Lingxiao comforted the little one, afraid he would be disappointed.
