After fuming for a while, Su Jin got up and started walking. If she couldn't get out before dark, her life would be over.
Su Jin dared not open her eyes again, because the constant stimulation from the snow and sunlight would worsen her snow blindness and could even lead to permanent blindness.
In the vast sea of snow, Su Jinxia walked alone.
She felt the temperature around her gradually rise and then fall; night was approaching, but she still didn't go out.
She lost her sense of direction and wasn't even sure if she was walking in a straight line.
Despair gradually enveloped Su Jinxia's heart.
She might only be able to pin her hopes on Zhou Chen; perhaps he would appear at any moment.
Suddenly, a sound of footsteps, not belonging to Su Jin, rang out, approaching from afar.
Su Jinxia suspected she was hallucinating, but she still called out towards the source of the voice, "Hey, is anyone there?"
The footsteps started running, getting closer and closer, and judging from the sound, there was only one person.
Su Jin was overjoyed and waved to the person who came, until the person stopped.
But the man didn't say anything.
Su Jin listened intently, puzzled. "Why aren't you saying anything?"
The man suddenly stepped forward and reached out to touch Su Jinxia's arm.
Su Jin took a step back warily. "What are you going to do?"
The man stepped forward, grabbed Su Jinxia's wrist, and gently patted her clenched fist.
Su Jin subconsciously realized something and relaxed.
Then, the person unfolded Su Jin's hand and gently wrote in her palm: I cannot speak.
Su Jin suddenly realized, grabbed the other person's hand, and wrote in his palm, "Who are you? Why are you here?"
The man wrote: You don't need to write, I can hear you.
Su Jin down...
"Oh, I... I was stupid!"
Su Jin was so embarrassed by her own stupidity that she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
The man quickly wrote again: Hunter.
Su Jin nodded readily. "It's so good to meet you. I got lost here and can't see anything. Luckily I met you. Can you help me get out of here?"
The hunter wrote: Yes. Why can't you see it?
Su Jinxia rubbed her forehead, somewhat ashamed, and said, "Have you ever heard of snow blindness?"
Since the hunter didn't make a move, Su Jin explained the reason.
The hunter wrote: It's dark now, we can't leave, we have to wait until dawn.
“I know you’re a hunter, you must have experience. You can decide which way to go, I can manage,” Su Jin said quickly.
The hunter then wrote: Follow me to find a place to rest.
Su Jin nodded, then felt for a corner of the hunter's clothes and gently tugged at it, "Alright, I'll go with you."
The hunter took Su Jin's other hand and placed a water jug in it.
Su Jin's brows instantly relaxed, revealing a sweet smile. "Thank you."
She quickly opened the kettle, tilted her head back, and took a sip.
"Cough cough."
The spicy taste hit her throat, choking Su Jinxia who was unprepared, causing tears to stream down her face.
This is alcohol!
The hunter reached out and gently patted Su Jin's back, his movements very tender.
Su Jin's lower body stiffened for a moment, and the other party immediately realized something was wrong and withdrew his hand.
Su Jin didn't say anything, but just smiled and said, "This wine is quite strong, but it's just right to warm you up."
God knows, Su Jinxia is as cold as an ice cube right now, this wine is a lifesaver.
Su Jin took another big gulp of water, grabbed the hunter's clothes again, and followed him.
The hunter walked slowly and steadily, and Su Jin could keep up well even though she couldn't see him.
Su Jinxia unconsciously smiled. Although she couldn't see the hunter's face, she felt that he was a gentle and warm person.
Soon after, the wind picked up, and then snowflakes began to fall.
The hunter told Su Jin to rest while he went to dig a snow cave to create a temporary place to rest.
The hunters were fast, and just as the heavy snowstorm arrived, the two took shelter in a snow cave.
Su Jin was too tired to speak, and the hunter was so quiet he seemed not to exist; all that could be heard was the howling wind and snow.
Su Jin drank the wine intermittently to warm herself up. Before long, the wine pot became much lighter. She suddenly realized that she had drunk all the wine. What would happen to the hunter?
Su Jinxia grinned awkwardly and handed the wine jug towards the hunter. "You...you don't mind, do you?"
The hunter didn't take it, but instead picked up Su Jin's other hand and wrote: You drink, I don't need it.
Su Jinxia awkwardly withdrew her hand, stopped drinking, put the wine pot aside, and obediently curled up, resting her head on her knees, wanting to take a nap.
However, gradually, the effects of the alcohol kicked in.
Su Jin opened her eyes wide, as if wondering why she couldn't see.
She groped her way out of the cave, then stumbled into the snowstorm.
She looked around blankly, then looked down and searched, swaying from side to side in the wind and snow, but she didn't care. She even lay on the ground, digging at the snow, as if something precious was buried in it.
"What are you looking for now?" the hunter suddenly asked.
However, Su Jinxia didn't find it strange. She raised her head, her brows furrowing instantly in grievance, her lips trembling as she burst into tears. She raised her small fist and punched the other person hard, pitifully complaining, "I've been looking for you, Shen Qianxue! Why are you always like this? You always make me search so hard!"
As she spoke, she threw herself into his arms without hesitation.
In short, Su Jinxia was certain that this was the person she was looking for.
Shen Qianxue's eyes welled up with tears. "You treated me like that, and we've already severed all ties. Why are you still looking for me?"
"I didn't!" Su Jinxia cried out like a wronged child, trying to burrow into Chen Qianxue's arms.
Shen Qianxue's heart trembled.
He knew Su Jinxia was drunk; he knew it the moment she started climbing out of the snow cave.
Su Jinxia doesn't remember getting drunk easily, but Shen Qianxue does.
He knew Su Jinxia would get drunk, but he didn't know that Su Jinxia would still look for him when she was drunk, and he didn't know that Su Jinxia would refute his past resoluteness without hesitation.
Su Jin, what am I supposed to do with you?
Shen Qianxue hugged Su Jin's delicate body, which was nestled in his arms, and held her tightly, very tightly.
"Cough, cough..."
The wind and snow were so heavy that Su Jinxia suddenly started coughing. Shen Qianxue was startled and quickly carried her back to the snow cave.
Shen Qianxue reached out and touched Su Jinxia's face; it was so hot!
"How did you get sick?" Shen Qianxue murmured, puzzled.
The owner of the glass is immune to all poisons, and the blood of the glass can even cure diseases and save lives. How could she have been infected with a minor wind-cold? Could it be because she was cold and hungry?
Shen Qianxue's expression was grave. He didn't have time to think about these things. He took out some medicine bottles from his body. Since he didn't have any medicine to treat colds, he fed all the elixirs for strengthening the body and treating internal injuries to Su Jin.
Afterwards, he put his own clothes on Su Jinxia, hugged her, and warmed her up.
Gradually, Su Jin fell asleep.
