Two days later, the biting northwest wind arrived as scheduled, whistling as it swept through the Capital.
At this time of year, fires were common in the city. Usually, there would be only three or four, but this year, after only one day of wind, flames had already broken out in six or seven locations. Fortunately, they were discovered in time, preventing the fires from spreading and turning into disasters. The common people of the Capital discussed it with unease.
"This wind is wicked this year. My neighbor's house almost burned down. It was only because their son happened to get up in the night and reacted quickly that they managed to put it out."
