"This..." Mou Xiaoning smiled and said, "Although the weather in Nanjiang is hot, it's quite nice at night. Generally, it cools down by midnight. If it gets unbearable during the day, wealthy families in Nanjiang often use large ice blocks to cool down."
"Ice blocks?" I was taken aback, then suddenly realized.
"That's right!" I remembered and quickly asked, "Does Nanjiang sell ice chests?"
An ice chest is a container with a large block of ice inside to keep food fresh.
"Ice chest?" Mou Xiaoning was surprised. "Are you referring to a refrigerator?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" I nodded eagerly. "That's exactly it! Does Nanjiang have any for sale?"
"Yes!" Mou Xiaoning nodded. "There's a Northern Domain Trading Company that sells them!"
"Great!" I exclaimed. "Let's buy one! No, two! One for the bedroom and one for the kitchen!"
"Understood!" Mou Xiaoning quickly nodded.
"And," I continued, "let's also buy some large ice blocks to keep in the room at night and see if it helps cool things down."
"Yes!" Mou Xiaoning replied.
After sending Mou Xiaoning off, I lay back in my chair and let out a long sigh.
It had been over six months since I arrived in this era, and I had mostly adapted to life here.
Although there were still moments of discomfort, I no longer found myself overthinking like I did at the beginning.
I had completely resigned myself to my fate now.
In times of war, what is most abundant is human life.
Almost every day, countless people die.
They die from war, from disease, from famine...
Since I have come here, I should do something; at the very least, I should make the lives of those around me a little better.
With that thought, I sighed and picked up the "Current Political Reports" on the table.
To be honest, I am not particularly interested in the reports in "Current Political Reports."
The political news recorded by the Military Affairs Office does not attract me at all.
I usually just skim through it to pass the time.
But today, for some reason, I felt restless, as if there was something I had forgotten to do.
As I flipped through the pages, suddenly, a piece of news caught my attention.
The report was about a local civil incident in Nanjiang where a cart from the Military Affairs Office lost control and crashed into civilians on the roadside, resulting in one death and one injury.
Such reports are actually quite common, but one sentence within it drew me in.
That sentence read: "The person involved, Zou Tianyi, male, 24 years old, is an accountant at Xia Yin Bank..."
Zou Tianyi?
I feel like this name sounds familiar, but I can't quite remember where I've seen it before.
After thinking carefully, suddenly, I remembered!
Zou Tianyi is the poor guy who was used by Li Dangshi to take the blame, right?
I recall that at the time, Li Dangshi said that Zou Tianyi was an accountant at Xia Yin Bank and got caught by the Secret Intelligence Bureau because he was involved in my case. Later, Li Dangshi claimed that Zou Tianyi was framed by me to shirk responsibility.
At that moment, I didn't think much of it and believed Li Dangshi's words, letting Zou Tianyi go.
Could it be...
I suddenly thought, could there be something wrong with this Zou Tianyi?
Thinking of this, I hurriedly called Mou Xiaoning over.
"Sir," Mou Xiaoning asked, "What do you need?"
"Do you remember Zou Tianyi?" I asked.
"Zou Tianyi?" Mou Xiaoning was taken aback. "Which Zou Tianyi?"
