"The sky is still dark."
Ji Jue looked up, gazing at the dark sky at eight in the morning, feeling an inexplicable sense of oppression.
"This year, the long nights come early; it probably won't be bright until after eleven o'clock." The local guide sighed, "In earlier years, there used to be a process, not this intense.
In recent winters, the nights are getting longer, and the days shorter. Many locals can't stand it anymore and have migrated inland. But there's no good place inland either; drought is becoming more severe on the side of Liang City, nothing can be grown in Kunwu, not even potatoes. Even Cliff City is getting hotter; I heard last summer lasted six months?"
"A little more than five months, but it was indeed hot." Ji Jue nodded, "Winter has also become warmer than before."
