Shangguan Wan'er nodded, "I know."

"I just couldn't help it."

Shangguan Wan'er thought of the refugees along the way, and how it was getting cold so early this year. In this way, how many people in the world would freeze to death?

She felt compassion, but had no ability to solve it.

Therefore, instinctively, she thought of Gao Yang.

But she didn't want to morally kidnap Gao Yang, so she forcibly held it back.

Moreover, the harm of forest monopoly affected the whole situation; it was difficult to shake even a little without being a high-ranking official with heavy power.

Now that Gao Yang was a commoner, how could he have a way?

"I hope this early, bitter cold this year is not a sign of the arrival of a Little Ice Age," Gao Yang muttered to himself, looking at the gray sky.

"Little Ice Age?"

Chu Qingluan and Shangguan Wan'er heard this and looked over in unison.

They were both confused.

Gao Yang explained, "A Little Ice Age is a kind of extreme climate disaster, rare in a hundred or even a thousand years, but once encountered, it means the heat the sun gives to the earth is sharply reduced, and large territories will fall into a longer, more brutal cold."

"Winter may be extended by several months, and summer may become short and cold. The consequences are often thousands of miles of barren land, starving people everywhere, and even... signs of the collapse of a dynasty."

"What?"

As soon as these words were spoken.

Chu Qingluan gasped, her expression solemn.

Shangguan Wan'er's face turned pale, shocked by the huge consequences, "If it really is a Little Ice Age, how many people will die this year?"

"Impossible to predict!"

Gao Yang shook his head, "This is just a very bad possibility, not necessarily going to happen. I just like to think of the worst result. I hope this is just a normal cold wave."

For a time.

The campfire on the riverbank burned, falling into silence.

Everyone's heart was heavy.

Gao Changwen walked alone to the riverbank. Looking at the bare mountains in the distance and the dense forests where aristocratic families stood even further away, a heavy sense of responsibility he had never felt before, and a faint, absurd sense of responsibility even he felt, quietly sprouted.

He muttered to himself, "I never imagined the world would be so difficult."

"Gao Changwen, oh Gao Changwen, your brother has resigned and is keeping a low profile, are you going to keep a low profile too? You have heaven-defying talent, how can you continue to hide your light?"

"Restoring the glory of the Duke of Dingguo's residence and saving the people of the world, you, Gao Changwen, are duty-bound!"

In an instant, Gao Changwen made a decision.

He turned around abruptly, his heart surging, wanting to say something to Gao Yang!

But when he turned back.

Gao Changwen was stunned.

"Eh?"

"Why have you all left!"

"Don't you believe me?"

Gao Changwen shouted from afar.

But everyone didn't even turn their heads.

On the side, a big yellow dog was chewing on the fish bones left by everyone, swaying toward Gao Changwen.

For a moment, the man and the dog stared at each other.

Gao Changwen looked happy and slowly squatted down.

"Brother Dog, I didn't expect that the only one in the world who knows me is you!"

He was moved, his heart complex.

But,

Only to see the big yellow dog lift one leg.

The next second.

A stream of heat went toward Gao Changwen's robe.

Gao Changwen was stunned.

Brother Dog, what does this mean?

Watering a friendship?

Or looking down on him?

Then, the big yellow dog gave Gao Changwen a very human-like look and quickly fled into the distance.

Damn!

Even a dog doesn't believe me?

How hateful!

Gao Changwen was so angry his body shook.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Hmph! The world laughs at me for being too crazy, I laugh at others for not seeing through! Just wait, all of you just wait! When I, Gao Changwen, display my heaven-defying methods, I will definitely make you all look at me with new eyes! And make that dead dog regret looking down on me today!" ===== CHAPTER 1982 =====
