Just then! Wu Wenwen's feet suddenly slipped, and she fell backwards onto the ground.
With her fall, the bucket flew out and, coincidentally, landed right on her and Xu Li's kang bed.
With a splash!
The water completely drenched their bedding.
But that wasn't the worst of it.
The worst part was that both she and Xu Li got drenched with a whole head of cold water.
No, to be precise, icy water.
Every night here, the temperature drops to several degrees below zero, and the water is filled with ice particles; such cold pouring on their heads was piercingly chilly!
It's a mystery how the bucket managed to douse their bed and then soak them through.
"Ah! So cold!" Xu Li, soaked to the bone, let out a scream like a slaughtered pig as if she had fallen into an ice cave, shivering all over, her face as pale as paper.
Wu Wenwen was also having a hard time, freezing to death.
