At this moment in Chicheng County, the sky is frigidly cold and the wind is bitter, slicing into people's faces like knives.
It's said that last year, someone, feeling vigorous due to their youth, went out without a hat. The knife-like cold wind blew, and their ears became numb from frostbite. That night, when they washed with hot water, their ears fell off.
Of course, this is just a legend, a tactic locals use to scare naughty kids. Anyone who goes out without bundling up thoroughly, upon hearing this legend and touching their ears, would obediently cover up.
Thus, even though it's not yet noon, there's hardly anyone on the streets.
Wang Yongzhu galloped past on horseback, and the few pedestrians on the roadside only caught a vague glimpse of her back. Before they could sigh about how fast she was riding in such cold weather, fearing something big had happened, she was already out of sight.
