Chapter 163 Super Snowstorm
Chapter 163 Super Snowstorm
"This is so much fun!" Ji Qianqian exclaimed. The only downside was that her nose was too cold.
"Okay, you guys go have fun! I won't participate." Shen Wantang sat down on a bench to rest, feeling a little tired.
Ji Qianqian ran to buy her a hot cup of milk tea: "Sister-in-law, call me if you need anything!"
Shen Wantang took it and then drank it: "Okay, you guys go have fun! I'm fine."
The two of them went out to play happily; at least for now, they were genuinely having fun together.
"Young lady, are you alone?" At this moment, a few grown men walked over and saw that she had been sitting alone on the bench for a long time.
What if they get frostbite in this cold weather?
Shen Wantang looked up at them and said, "No, my friends are just playing around."
"Oh, is that so? It's so cold outside. You must be freezing. Would you like to come inside and sit for a while?" The leader pointed to the milk tea shop not far away.
Shen Wantang looked at the milk tea in her hand and realized that Ji Qianqian had bought it from that shop.
"Okay, thank you, boss." Shen Wantang stood up and followed the boss.
When she arrived at the shop, the owner thoughtfully prepared a small cake for her.
"Boss, are all the people here so hospitable?" Shen Wantang looked at the small cake on the table. Was it for everyone or just for her?
The owner smiled and said, "This shop is run by my brothers and me. Business is usually good here because it's a tourist attraction, but we didn't expect it to be so popular."
"So none of us brothers hired anyone; we did all the work ourselves."
"Look, now that you've come here as tourists, we locals definitely want to take good care of tourists, right?"
"So just eat, little sister! Don't worry, we won't charge you!" another big guy laughed.
Shen Wantang nodded, not thinking they were bad people. She didn't sense anything unusual about them, and they all seemed very simple and honest.
She was playing on her phone while eating snacks and drinking milk tea.
About two hours later, Ji Qianqian called: "Sister-in-law, where are you?"
She was a little annoyed. It was so cold outside, how could she let her sister-in-law sit outside for so long?
She loses track of time when she's playing.
"It's okay, I'm at the bubble tea shop. Do you want to play for a while longer?" Shen Wantang looked outside. The wind and snow seemed to have gotten heavier, but there were still quite a few people playing outside.
"It's so cold! I'm definitely going to take a packet of cold medicine when I get back!" Ji Qianqian was shivering from the cold. "Are you done playing? We're coming to find you."
"Okay, come on, I'll prepare some hot drinks for you two." Shen Wantang nodded, and after hanging up the phone, she ordered two cups of hot milk tea.
The food had just been served when the two of them returned, covered in snow. The snow melted upon contact with the warm air, leaving them soaking wet.
Shen Wantang handed them two tissues: "Wipe your hands, drink something hot to warm up, there's no rush to leave."
Jiang Wan and Ji Qianqian took the tissues, first wiping the water off their heads, then wiping the water off their clothes before sitting down.
After taking a sip of the hot milk tea, Ji Qianqian sighed, "Ah, that feels so good!"
"It's fun, but the wind and snow are getting heavier, and it's tiring and cold." Jiang Wan nodded, "But it's a good thing we came, otherwise it would have been really tough!"
"That's right, but it's only 4:30 in the afternoon, why is it so dark?" Ji Qianqian looked out the window. The sky had completely darkened, but she could still see snowflakes dancing in the air and a strong wind blowing.
Shen Wantang frowned: "Are you finished drinking? Let's leave early!" The weather is a bit off.
At this moment, one of the owners of the milk tea shop came over and said worriedly, "There seems to be a problem with the weather. Why don't you take the milk tea back to the hotel to drink?"
“Yes, we’ve been here for so long and we’ve never seen weather like this. It’s already dark so early; there’s probably going to be a huge blizzard.” Another shopkeeper nodded in agreement.
"Huh?" Ji Qianqian felt a little flustered.
"Then let's hurry up and leave!" Jiang Wan was equally panicked. She didn't want to die here; she still had so much money left to spend!
Shen Wantang nodded. Since the locals had said so, they couldn't delay any longer: "Then we'll be going now. Take care!"
The three of them had just reached the door with their things when suddenly a fist-sized piece of ice hit their feet and slid into the store.
"You scared me! Who threw that! That's so rude!" Ji Qianqian patted her chest; it almost hit her.
Looking up, it was pitch black outside; there wasn't a soul in sight. Then, a loud thud!
Something hit the roof of the bubble tea shop, startling everyone present: "What was that?"
"Fuck, scared me to death!"
"What exactly is that?"
Thump, thump, thump, and then the sound grew louder and louder as more and more ice blocks fell.
"It's hail!" the shopkeeper suddenly shouted!
Everyone pressed their faces against the windows to watch the scene outside, while many others outside were searching for places to hide.
Shen Wantang's eyes darkened: "Let's not go out. Let's wait until this snowstorm stops before we leave."
Otherwise, such a large hailstone would surely leave a hole in your head.
"Good idea." Ji Qianqian withdrew her foot. At this moment, she really didn't want to go out.
So the three of them went back inside, and less than a minute later, the crackling sounds outside became deafening.
"My God, this is terrifying!"
"How are we going to get home?! The snow is so heavy, are we going to be buried in it tomorrow?!"
"Boss, is your shop sturdy? I'm afraid it'll collapse!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent, fearing that the small house would be destroyed by speculation.
“Our shop should be quite sturdy.” The owner looked up at the ceiling, and all that could be heard was a crackling sound.
For a moment, the atmosphere felt somewhat heavy.
"Sister-in-law, we won't be the first people to be hospitalized after being hit by hail, will we?" Ji Qianqian asked, a little scared.
Shen Wantang comforted her, "It's okay, we're in the room, it won't hit us."
"That's right, that's right!" Jiang Wan prayed inwardly, "Please don't let it collapse!"
Dead house, hold on tight!
After a while, the initial tension gradually subsided and everyone relaxed.
Some people even ordered several cups of milk tea.
The snowstorm finally stopped around 11:30 p.m. Outside the glass, everything was covered in snow.
Even the door can't be opened.
"Holy crap, are we going to have to spend the night here?" someone in the crowd said.
The words had barely left his mouth when, with a click, the power went out.
The heating in the house has also been turned off.
"It's over!" The two words flashed through everyone's minds at the same time.
