Chapter 130 Snow Avalanche

Being tall is an advantage.

Xie Xuan was a whole head taller than her, so Su Shengsheng didn't have to worry about blocking his view.

Although she had skied on the snow in her previous life, this wild terrain was a first challenge for her.

Even though she tried to control her speed, the steep slope was like an invisible hand, pushing her down rapidly.

At first, she could still give Xie Xuan some advice from time to time, reminding him how to deal with various emergencies.

But as her speed continued to increase, the night wind became so strong that she could hardly open her eyes, and the cold wind made it difficult for her to speak.

Whoosh…

The wind whistled in her ears, as if it was going to swallow her whole.

However, as the navigator for the two, she must stay awake and see the road ahead clearly.

Su Shengsheng tried hard to keep her eyes open as she crossed one snow slope after another.

Perhaps it was the instinct for survival that was aroused, or perhaps it was the trust of Xie Xuan behind her that forced her to regroup.

In short, she didn't feel a trace of fear in her heart.

She only thought about surviving, she was almost there...

Unexpectedly, this long-uninhabited snow-capped mountain still gave the warmest welcome to the first-time visitors.

The rumbling sound of the snow collapsing behind him suddenly spread throughout Yunshan.

Su Shengsheng didn't dare to hold on to the speed anymore, "Keep your center of gravity, we have to speed up."

At this moment, she no longer cared about being polite and spoke directly.

Fortunately, Xie Xuan didn't seem to care about these things. When encountering extreme situations, he gradually took the initiative.

After all, it was a matter of two lives, so Su Shengsheng naturally trusted his judgment and would ask him for help when she was at her wit's end.

The snow that had been brewing on the snow-capped peak for many years finally collapsed and chased towards them like a surging wave.

Faster...faster...

This was the only voice echoing in Su Shengsheng's mind.

Not only do they have to race against time, but they also have to deal with the unknown and dangerous road ahead, and they must always be on guard against pursuit from the snow behind them.

Her body was cold and numb, but an unquenchable fire burned in her eyes.

She told herself that she couldn't give up at the last step...

Boom... Boom...

Flying rocks rolled down and hit them.

"Um……"

In the chaos, Su Shengsheng still heard Xie Xuan's muffled groan.

They were now sharing a pair of skis, and he was right behind her.

"Are you okay?" Su Shengsheng asked anxiously.

"No problem." Xie Xuan looked ahead from above Su Shengsheng's head, "Let's go to the hillside on the right."

The peak slope he mentioned is actually a place similar to a cliff, but it is not a real cliff. It is just a steeper, bridge-like area.

Su Shengsheng took a look and said without hesitation, "Okay."

The two men changed direction and rushed towards the top of the mountain.

After releasing the speed, the speed of going downhill soared instantly.

As they rushed to the top of the slope, they seemed to leap out.

One meter... five meters... ten meters...

Su Shengsheng watched the skateboard under his feet flying like a parabola from the top of the slope to another gentle slope.

Bang……

Finally, they landed steadily on the ground.

The snow behind them tilted to the side, completely separating them from the others.

Su Shengsheng's eyes suddenly felt sore.

This time, they finally escaped!

After passing the steep and rocky terrain, the road below is smooth.

But Su Shengsheng did not slow down, and continued to let the momentum carry them downwards.

Xie Xuan seemed to notice her strangeness and took over the control, "Next, leave it to me.

Su Shengsheng nodded with difficulty, "It's okay if I fall."

It's not far off, they will survive...

Xie Xuan wrapped his hands around Su Shengsheng's hands that were holding the snowball poles, giving her support while skillfully helping her speed up.

When the skis finally stopped steadily on the side of the road, Su Shengsheng had exhausted all his strength and his body fell backwards involuntarily.

Perhaps because her tense nerves suddenly relaxed, she felt waves of severe pain.

Their shoes were made by freezing the skis with ice water, so that she could not fall freely and had to fall backwards.

Xie Xuan quickly caught her and threw away the snowball in his hand, "Su Shengsheng, stay awake!"

Maybe it’s because he’s in a higher position and is used to giving orders.

Su Shengsheng was thinking in a daze, but the pain all over her body made it almost impossible for her to think, and her head was a mess.

It was as if a layer of icy mist was wrapped in front of my eyes. In the thin night, I could no longer see his face clearly.

Xie Xuan quickly untied their shoes from the skis, then carefully held Su Shengsheng horizontally in his arms.

He didn't know how much longer he could hold on, but the fragile and weak little ice man in his arms left him no time to take care of himself.

He held her in his arms and walked towards the western suburbs camp step by step...

At the same time, after Xie Xuan and Su Shengsheng fell into the trap, Chu Zhao realized that there was another secret passage after digging out a top door made of bluestone.

While ordering his men to continue digging, he quickly led his troops to disperse and search all the way outside the pass.

During the search, Chu Zhao heard the sound of thunder in the snow and immediately came to the source of the sound.

Seeing the figures of Xie Xuan and the other man, he whipped his horse whip fiercely and galloped towards them faster.

"General..."

…

Western Suburbs Camp

Inside the commander's tent, Su Shengsheng, lying on the couch, had a flushed face and a furrowed brow.

Two maids who were temporarily brought from the kitchen looked worriedly at the girl who showed no signs of waking up.

At this moment, Xie Xuan bandaged his wound and hurried back.

He stepped into the tent and his eyes first fell on the sleeping Su Shengsheng. When he saw her pair of delicate feet exposed from the quilt, the corners of his slender eyebrows could not help but tense up.

"Why are you so careless in serving me?"

Seeing him come forward personally, he wanted to put the jade feet that had just been bandaged into the quilt.

The two maids were so frightened that they knelt down in panic and hurriedly explained: "General, the military doctor ordered that the girl's condition is very serious and that strong medicines cannot be used all the time. She must wipe the palms and soles of her feet with warm water from time to time to lower her body temperature."

Upon hearing this, Xie Xuan paused his hand that was pulling the quilt, and his eyes fell on Su Shengsheng's flushed cheeks again.

He withdrew his hand and ordered coldly: "Get out."

When the two maids heard that Xie Xuan did not blame them anymore, they felt as if they had been pardoned and quickly stood up.

At this moment, a maid seemed to remember something and took a piece of silk from the shelf next to the stove. She bowed and handed it to Xie Xuan: "General, this thing fell from the clothes that the girl changed."

There were blood words on it, so she didn't dare to deal with it casually.

Hearing the voice, Xie Xuan reached out to take it, then waved his hand casually.

The two maids dared not say anything more and quietly retreated.

Xie Xuan first touched Su Shengsheng's forehead to cool it down, then his gaze returned to the silk in his hand.

Dad, I'm not... a human? ...I'm home.

He looked at it twice in confusion, then noticed that the cloth was still wet, so he put it back on the wooden frame.

Then, he took the wet towel beside him, wrung it dry, and gently replaced the towel on Su Shengsheng's head.

He soaked the other piece in warm water and carefully wiped the palms of her hands and soles of her feet.

The body seemed to be floating on a cloud, soft and with nowhere to support itself.

In a trance, she seemed to see Xie Xuan's figure, "General Xie..."

Upon hearing this, Xie Xuan stepped forward instantly, his eyes gleaming with surprise: "Su Shengsheng!"

Seeing her eyes opening and closing with great effort, he comforted her, "We are safe. You have a fever, so you should get some rest."

As these words echoed in Su Shengsheng's ears, the uneasiness in her heart gradually dissipated. She turned her head to the side and fell asleep peacefully.
