As a data body, Munduner felt Xu Xingchen's strong intention, and his usually innocent face also became serious.

He raised his little hand, and out fell tools, a shovel, a life scanner, a down blanket...

At this moment, Xu Xingchen didn't have time to think about the tools he had never seen in his backpack before. He hurriedly took the life scanner and swept the snow.

Munduner stood on the ground, a blue laser emanating from his eyes, sweeping around.

He didn't scan near Xu Xingchen, and even after walking a little further, Munduner was still scanning near Xu Xingchen.

"Beep, beep, beep—"

"Mom, mom!" Munduner called Xu Xingchen while digging the snow in front of him.

Xu Xingchen hurried over when she heard the call. Seeing Mundun'er digging with his short hands, she followed suit without asking any questions.

She dug the snow with her bare hands, and soon her fingertips turned red and purple from the cold. She felt a stinging sensation on her fingertips, but she didn't dare to stop, fearing that it would be too late if she was even a second late.

Her stiff fingers touched a foreign object. She paused slightly, then dug even faster. A hand gradually emerged from the snow, with distinct joints, fair skin and a slender figure. Who else could it be but Jun Haoyue's?

Xu Xingchen's vision became blurry and he kept calling Jun Haoyue.

Jun Haoyue was dug out quickly. One of his hands was still tightly grasping the cloth strip that tied him to Xu Xingchen, and Xu Xingchen couldn't pry it apart no matter how hard he tried.

Even though the man was unconscious, his thin lips were still tightly pursed. Xu Xingchen moistened his lips with a wet handkerchief and couldn't help but think of what her grandmother had told her.

Men with thin lips are all heartless, and Xingxing should stay away from such men.

Jun Haoyue also has thin lips, but... he is not heartless.

She warmed and softened the little remaining malt sugar in her arms, then fed it into his mouth. Although it couldn't fill him up, the sugar could at least provide some calories.

After a brief tidying up, Xu Xingchen called Munduner back to the computer, wrapped the unconscious Jun Haoyue with a down blanket, took out a nylon rope from the system backpack, wrapped the nylon rope around the down blanket, and Xu Xingchen wrapped the other end of the rope around his waist and put it on his shoulder, dragging the person forward.

After walking a few miles, Xu Xingchen's lungs were aching from panting. Jun Haoyue was a man of about 1.8 meters in height, and it was very difficult for her to drag him with her small body, but she still gritted her teeth and persevered.

She kept chattering while she was on the way, trying to wake Jun Haoyue's consciousness, but the person being dragged didn't react at all.

By the end, Xu Xingchen's lips were dry and chapped, and his throat was hoarse and he couldn't speak.

She walked and stopped along the way, and it was getting dark after she had walked for an hour. She found a valley to rest, picked up some firewood and built a fire. The half-damp firewood burned, and the thick smoke billowed out, choking her to tears.

But Jun Haoyue never woke up, and Xu Xingchen once thought he was not breathing.

The next day, the sky was still blue, and Xu Xingchen dragged Jun Haoyue to continue their journey. Finally, in the evening of the next day, she arrived at the village entrance.

At the entrance of the village, the village chief was gathering villagers to clear the snow and clear the road. A villager saw Xu Xingchen dragging people back from afar.

"Village Chief, that seems to be Xu Xiaoniang over there?"

"Eh? It looks like it's her. It's been snowing heavily for three days. When did she run away?"

"She has someone with her."

The villagers were holding tools and discussing why Xu Xingchen was outside. Only Aunt Pang heard that Xu Xingchen was dragging someone with him and thought something bad was going on.

She dropped the tools in her hand and rushed forward. Her bloated body did not affect her speed at all, and she soon arrived in front of Xu Xingchen.

Xu Xingchen was in a dishevel, his eyes were dull and lifeless, his eye sockets were sunken, his face was pale, and his lips were chapped. He looked like he had experienced some disaster or serious illness, which shocked Aunt Pang.

It's only been a few days since we last met, how could a good person become like this?!

Aunt Fat was about to ask when Xu Xingchen asked for help in a hoarse voice: "...Aunt Fat, save Jun Haoyue..." After she said that, she fell forward.

Auntie Pang quickly supported the man and shouted urgently, "Help! Help!"

The villagers realized that something was wrong and rushed to help Auntie Pang. Auntie Pang held Xu Xingchen in her arms and directed the villagers: "Save Jun Haoyue first, quickly, and a few more people come with me to help Xu Xiaoniang back."

Xu Xingchen and Jun Haoyue were both rescued.

The two were carried back to their yard. Aunt Pang called a doctor, examined them, treated them, and stayed with them throughout the whole process.

This incident caused a huge commotion, and the news that Xu Xingchen had dragged Jun Haoyue back from a distance of hundreds of miles spread quickly throughout the village when the villagers who were clearing snow at the village entrance heard about it.

Xu Xingchen woke up on the morning of the third day. When she opened her eyes and saw the roof of her house, she was stunned for a moment.

This is her home, they are saved...

Suddenly I thought of Jun Haoyue, and sat up to go look for him.

At this time, Auntie Pang came in with a bowl of medicine. Seeing that she was about to get up, she cried out "Aiya" and quickly pushed her back, "Xu Xiaoniang, you can't move."

Xu Xingchen struggled to get up, "Jun Haoyue, where is he?"

"He's in the next room. He's fine. He woke up earlier than you. I'll tell him you're awake too."

Hearing that the person was fine, she stopped struggling. After relaxing her body, she felt dizzy and held her forehead with one hand and the edge of the bed with the other.

Seeing this, Auntie Pang scolded her, "You are still very weak. Take good care of yourself. Young people nowadays are really stupid."

After recovering from the dizziness, Xu Xingchen replied softly, "Thank you, Aunt Fatty. I'm fine."

"You're still fine even after all this." Auntie Pang scolded him and then asked, "Xu Xiaoniang, what happened to you? I asked the people at the village entrance, and they said you left the village a few days ago. How did you come back like this?"

"That day, Jun Haoyue and I went to the town to sell malt sugar. It was snowing on the way back and we encountered some problems on the road...that's it." She did not express the difficulty and danger involved.

Aunt Pang's eyes were filled with pity. Xu Xingchen's appearance that day was still lingering in her mind. Just by looking at her appearance at that time, she knew how many difficulties Xu Xingchen and Jun Haoyue had encountered, but she did not expose it.

He was very sympathetic and kindly comforted her, and repeatedly emphasized that Xu Xingchen must tell her if he had any problems in the future and not to go through it alone.

Xu Xingchen knew that the other party had good intentions and truly cared about him, so he agreed obediently.

But after this incident, Aunt Pang felt more and more that Xu Xingchen's family could not be without a man. Jun Haoyue was her cousin after all, and she still had to leave. The one who could truly stay with Xu Xingchen for the rest of her life was still her husband.

She thought for a moment and said, "Xu Xiaoniang, Auntie Pang knows that you are a strong and capable girl, but a woman needs someone to rely on after all. I'm thinking of finding a husband for you after the New Year. What do you think?"

Xu Xingchen was still thinking about Jun Haoyue, so she shook her head and refused when she heard Auntie Pang's words. This wasn't the first time Auntie Pang had mentioned finding her a husband, and she had always refused. Now that Auntie Pang had mentioned it again, she just thought it was a rehash of the past and didn't take it to heart.
