Chapter 67 Variables

Nanzhi and Shen Zhiyu were both awoken by the heat the next morning.

"Mother, it's so hot." Shen Zhiyu rubbed his eyes, sweat covering his forehead and neck.

Looking at the dark sky outside the window, Nanzhi found it strange.

How could it be so hot today?

They weren't the only ones woken by the heat. The other villagers of Lihua village were too.

Mrs. Liu wiped the sweat off her forehead, looking at Shen Dazhu, "My dear, what's going on? Why is it so hot this morning?"

Shen Dazhu was sweating too, he looked outside the window, the sky was still dark with no signs of dawn breaking.

"It's just past midnight, why is it so hot?" Wiping the sweat off his neck, Shen Dazhu got up from the bed.

"Where are you going?" Mrs. Liu asked, frowning as she watched her husband get off the bed.

"I'm going to check outside, it's so hot. Want to take a bath? I'll fetch some water for you!"

Mrs. Liu wiped away the sweat trickling down to her eyes, feeling puzzled. What on earth was happening?
