Li Yang packed up quickly and arrived early, so the line to get coal wasn't that long. She stood in the crowd, wrapped herself up tightly, leaving only her eyes exposed.

When it was almost her turn, a burly young man bumped into her and squeezed in front of her.

The girl staggered, and when she looked up, she heard the other person shouting to the boss in the front: "I want to sell a ton of coal!"

The boss asked, "Do you have a reservation?"

Before the man could say anything, the woman who had arrived late behind him shouted, "Can't we just buy it now? What? We can't buy it without a reservation? It's freezing in this cold weather. Will you be responsible if our Zihan gets frozen?"

As soon as Li Yang heard the voice, she knew it. Wasn't this Zi Han's mother who lived upstairs from her?

When she was traveling with the tour group before, she thought that coal was too expensive at one or two thousand yuan per ton and was unwilling to buy it. She also pretended to analyze it: the temperature in Mingdeng Town can only drop to minus ten degrees Celsius at most in winter, so there is no need to waste the money.

Most of the users in the group thought so too, but because the property management took the lead in organizing the group and the price was acceptable, they bought some more or less.

Only Li Yang bought three tons of anthracite at one time.

Three tons of coal, even for heating and cooking, an average person wouldn't use that much in a whole winter. The property management asked her several times, and only wrote down her name after getting a positive response, and then collected 6,000 Mingdeng coins from her.

Li Yang wanted to stock up more so that she could use them when she went to other dimensions in the future.

Now, the temperature continues to drop, and the boss has made it clear that he will stop working after selling this batch. This pile of ordinary coal has really become a hot commodity.

"You're right, you really can't buy it without a reservation!"

Several policemen jumped off the coal truck and began to maintain order: "Besides, even if you have a reservation, you still have to queue up properly."

Li Yang took a closer look and figured out what was going on. The person who was speaking was none other than Uncle Li.

Li Zhiping pushed Li Yang into the team, then patted her on the shoulder: "It's okay, just take out the list."

Li Yang handed over the order sheet, and the staff looked at her in surprise: "Wow, little girl, why did you buy so much? That section over there is all yours."

She thanked him and prepared to go transport coal.

"Can you use up all the coal you bought?" Seeing that it was not easy for her to transport the coal by herself, Zi Han's mother yelled again: "We are neighbors, and we are kind-hearted. How about buying half of your coal at 3,000 per ton?"

He really knows how to flatter himself. The girl rolled her eyes.

Seeing that Li Yang ignored her, Zi Han's mother reached out and grabbed her skirt. Li Zhiping saw it clearly. He pulled out his gun and said, "There are people waiting behind us. If you dare to interfere with our work again, I will not be polite."

Seeing that more and more people were gathering around, Zi Han’s mother quickly let go of her hand.

The coal boss also came over to persuade her: "No matter how unreasonable you are, it will be useless. Why don't you go and queue up now? Maybe there will be some left."

Some people behind were already dissatisfied with the procrastination of those in front and started to curse.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, she couldn't continue to pester him and had to agree first.

As soon as Li Zhiping turned around, her eyes rolled around and she signaled to her son with her eyes.

Li Yang bought a lot of coal, but luckily she lived on the first floor and had the help of a cart given by Li Zhiping's family. It took her two hours to transport all the coal back and forth and finally get it all home.

Three tons of coal may sound like a lot, but it is actually less than five cubic meters.

There was no place to put them in the cabinets at home, so she temporarily stored them all in this space.

Li Yang's body was already soaked at this time.

During the two or three hours outside, the cold wind kept whistling past, and the chill was like dense and thin needles, slowly penetrating into her bones. Even if she kept drinking hot ginger tea, it could only warm her body slightly.

The clock on the wall showed that it was already three o'clock in the afternoon. Li Yang was tired and hungry, so she used the remaining hot water in the pot to make herself a bowl of instant noodles.

The clothes she wore were thick, but also very heavy. The snow felt especially uncomfortable when it melted on her body. Li Yang felt as if she was carrying a ten-pound steel plate on her back, which made it difficult for her to even raise her hands.

But she didn't dare take off her clothes easily until the room was fully heated.

On the way to escape, she always heard her predecessors say that sudden changes in temperature are the easiest way to catch a cold and get sick, so you must keep warm when the weather is cold.

But it should be fine to take off your shoes.

Li Yang is still wearing the pair of wizard boots that have been with her for nearly two months. Light magic really can't provide any warmth, but the wizard's boots can.

Apart from this pair of boots, she only had the short-top sneakers given to her by the system when she first entered the plane.

Because it is not suitable to go out in winter, Li Yang put it in the closet early.

She opened the system mall and skillfully took out the multifunctional magician boots that she had collected for a long time. She looked at them reluctantly and closed the panel again.

1200 points, she still needs to save up for a long time.

Things with magical properties are expensive, but since she has nothing to do at home in the winter, she thought about drawing more scrolls during these days. After selling them, she can upgrade her equipment.

After eating instant noodles, she wrung out her soaked shoes and socks and dried them by the fireplace.

Li Yang felt dizzy and had no strength to do anything, so she simply lay down on the bed and slowly closed her eyes.

In a drowsy state, Li Yang suddenly felt her cheeks getting wet.

what?

She tried to open her eyes, but her groggy head said no.

When the girl didn't respond, the little wolf anxiously nibbled at her clothes with his teeth, looked outside, and let out a low wolf howl.

Woo woo, wake up quickly, our house is about to be robbed.

A man and a woman outside the door finally managed to climb into the yard. The magic circle sent out several tentative attack light blades, but they were all blocked.

The two men obviously did not expect that there was an ambush in the yard, and were caught in a dilemma for a moment.

The little wolf licked Li Yang's face again. She seemed to notice something. Her tightly closed eyes on her red face struggled to move, but still could not open.

This is how to do?

If my house is robbed, I will have nothing to eat in the future.

Xixi took one last look at Li Yang and jumped out of the window.

Well, it feels as if it also has the obligation to protect the safety of the family's property.

The night was dark and people outside could only see a dark shadow flashing by the window.

In a panic, Zi Han's mother showed a look of fear, but the rapidly cooling weather froze her body and stiffened her mind.

She was just an orphan, and no one would know if she died.

She gritted her teeth and gestured to her son to take action.

Everyone in their family has strong supernatural powers. Zi Han's father is a master of hiding. He is responsible for standing at the door to keep watch, while the mother and son sneak into the yard to steal coal.

This plan is actually quite good, but what surprised them was that there was such a powerful formation in Li Yang's yard.

The constantly flashing golden light was covered up by their tools, but the powerful damage was flying towards them as if it had eyes.

Clang——

The burly young man moved his hands to block countless attacks, but he was still a little flustered in the face of the endless traps.

In a moment of carelessness, he got a not-so-deep cut on his body and blood started flowing out.

"Oh, my dear son." Zi Han's mother was really heartbroken this time.

Seeing that the protective equipment she had worked so hard to get was about to expire, she flashed a bit of determination in her eyes: "Mom will protect you, go, break into her room and kill that little girl. Without the control of the master, this formation will naturally become ineffective."

Zi Han was still a little hesitant, but when he saw a few more cuts on the woman's body, he immediately became anxious.

He swung his two swords very quickly, thinking about the woman's words, almost without avoiding the wounds on his body, blocking all the blades along the way, and was about to reach the window of the house.

At this moment, a brighter golden light blocked his way...
