The thought struck Choo Lan that she couldn't stay there any longer, and she hurriedly pushed open the door and headed out into the courtyard.
Even breathing seemed difficult in this room.
And this Gu Qiaoqiao was not a simple character by any means.
Despite her young age, she had deep schemes.
Standing at the doorway, Gu Qiaoqiao quietly watched the backs of the two as they left, thinking to herself that it was still a bit of a pity.
Actually, being involved a bit wouldn't be too bad either.
Gu Qiaoqiao looked at the sky, estimating that no one else would come now, so she closed the main gate of the courtyard and carried the neatly chopped wood for burning from under the fence opposite into the house.
Then she started to light a fire to heat the kang.
The house had central heating, from a boiler room built by the base, which provided heat to everyone.
However, the small kang still needed to be heated by oneself.
When evening came, Qin Yize still had not returned.
