Chapter 763 Cold Day
The man outside had not yet appeared in front of the window, but he stopped, and a breath of hot breath could be clearly seen from the dimly lit outside.
Lan Feng didn't move in the house, just waiting to see what that person wanted to do.
Suddenly, there was a sound of iron tools falling outside, and Lan Feng judged that it was a pickaxe for digging the ground, because Lan Feng had used that kind of iron tool when he was growing vegetables in the New World.
But Lan Feng thought the voice was very weird, because what was this person outside trying to do with a pickaxe?
Just when Lan Feng felt that something was wrong, he suddenly heard a loud sound outside, and then Lan Feng realized that the person was holding a tool for planing the house.
Lan Feng hurriedly picked up the sleeping Xiao Han, fortunately, because of the cold weather, Xiao Han did not untie his clothes, after carrying Xiao Han, Lan Feng broke the wall behind the house with all his might, in order not to let Xiao Han get hurt, Lan Feng had to temporarily hide from the people who were planning the house outside.
Lan Feng had just escaped from the house with Xiao Han on his back, only to hear a loud rumbling noise, and the house collapsed in an instant.
Looking at the collapsed house, Lan Feng sighed in his heart, if he came out a few seconds later, he would definitely be injured by the rubble of the house, Lan Feng felt that it was a small matter to be smashed, if Xiao Han who was sleeping was smashed, it would be a big deal.
When the house all fell, the person who smashed the house completely shocked Blue Wind, it was simply a towering giant.
A tall and sturdy man stood up from the ground, and it turned out that the giant was squatting just now.
The giant was about four meters tall, holding a pickaxe that was half a meter taller than Blue Wind's height, and before Blue Wind could calm down, the giant was already walking towards Blue Wind.
"Stop!"
An old man's voice suddenly came from behind the giant, and Lan Feng fixed his eyes on it, and it turned out to be the mayor who had guided Lan Feng and Xiao Han to the inn before.
"That's our guest, get out of here!" The mayor scolded the giant.
The giant reluctantly retreated, and by this time Xiao Han had also been awakened by the biting cold wind.
"What's wrong? What happened? Xiao Han didn't know anything yet, but when Xiao Han jumped off the back of the blue wind and saw the giant walking away, Xiao Han's eyes were also full of fear.
The mayor walked over to the two of them and apologized to Lan Feng and Xiao Han with an apologetic expression.
"I'm really sorry, that giant is hostile to outsiders, and if it weren't for that fire today, he wouldn't have made a move on you." The mayor said guiltily.
"What the hell is going on? We didn't provoke him, so why should we do it? Lan Feng asked in surprise.
"It's too cold here, so come to my house first to escape the cold! The innkeeper turned around and told him that after all, the house had been destroyed by our own people, and we couldn't care about the guests asking for the room. The mayor said.
Lan Feng saw that the mayor of the town was so reasonable and delicate, so he took Xiao Han and the mayor back to their home.
The mayor's house is indeed more luxurious than the buildings of other houses, although it can't catch up with the golden palace created by Hongyu and Qianqian, but for the buildings in the old world, it can be regarded as the best among the mansions.
The courtyard of the mayor's house was brightly lit, and the people standing guard were also conscientious, although it was the fourth watch at this time, but Lan Feng could see that they had not slept all night.
When Lan Feng and Xiao Han entered the house, they surrounded the fire, and in the cold night, there was nothing more pleasant than gathering around the fire.
"Frozen, right? It's really too cold outside. The mayor said.
"Has this always been the case? Why is it so warm during the day and so cold at night? Blue Wind asked.
"Presumably you two guests are from other countries, right?" Mayor Mare asked.
Blue Wind didn't dare to say that he was from another world, so in order to convince the mayor of the town, he had to say that he came here from the country on the west side of the Boundary Mountain.
"Oh! We are from the western part of the Boundary Mountains. Blue Wind said.
"Great place! It's not as cold as we are, so it's no wonder you can't stand our nights here. The mayor said.
"What is it that makes the nights so cold?" Blue Wind asked.
The mayor took a long breath and sat down beside Blue Wind, and the mayor took out a pipe from his waist, grabbed a handful of tobacco in his pocket, put it on the pipe and lit it.
"It's a long story, but there's nothing to hide, looking at the direction you two are going, you should be going to the capital, right?" Mayor Mare asked.
"That's right! We want to go to the capital. Blue Wind said.
"That's fine, the capital is better than ours, after all, there is plenty of firewood in the capital and there are plenty of things to eat." The mayor said.
"Can you tell me what happened here?" Lan Feng asked urgently.
"I'll tell you about it! It was about a year ago, when we didn't have such a cold night here, I remember that one night when we were about to enter summer, suddenly there was a cold air from the Boundary Mountain, and dozens of people in our town died that night, and it was also from that time that night that the temperature dropped dramatically every night, and it has continued to this day. The mayor said.
"So strange! So has anyone been able to track down the cause of that cold air? Blue Wind asked.
Mayor Mare shook his head and took two more puffs of his pipe.
"Who has that to do! The news that the cold air is coming from the demarcation mountain is a proclamation sent by the minister sent by the capital, what the truth is, we don't know, since the public says so, then we believe it! The mayor said helplessly.
"Mayor doesn't seem to believe those words, huh?" Blue Wind asked.
"Of course I don't believe it! After all, the minister of the capital did not give us a reasonable explanation, seeing that our people endure the cold night every day, the capital did nothing, if it weren't for the whole country like this, we would have moved out a long time ago. The mayor said.
"It's strange, what is the reason for this? The comparison will not be groundless! Lan Feng said.
"Young man, this matter is not something you can solve, take a good rest for a while, and leave at dawn! I will not leave you behind, but leave as soon as the sky is dark, because the neighbors of the town are not friendly to outsiders at all, and I am afraid that if you leave late, you will get into unnecessary trouble. The mayor said.
"Good! We'll leave at dawn, thank you, Mayor. Lan Feng said.
"You're welcome, by the way, can you ask, what are you going to do in the capital? If there is no major event, I advise you to go back! The mayor said.
"Go back? Why? Lan Feng asked curiously.
