Chapter 99 Who wants to die if you can live?
By the time Lin Wei had finished chopping and putting away the firewood, heavy snow had begun to fall outside, and the wind was howling.
Although there was a fire burning in the cave, everyone was still very cold because the cold wind kept blowing into the cave.
Those who couldn't sleep due to the cold gathered around the fire and talked in low voices.
"It really is a snowstorm. Madam Xu is telling the truth."
"Yes, with such heavy snow, if we sleep in the wild, we will freeze to death or get sick."
"Luckily, we listened to Madam Xu and rushed to this cave overnight. We can still find a place to hide from the wind and snow. I wonder how those who didn't come are doing now?"
…
While everyone was discussing, the Xu family was still busy.
Nanny Qin, Nanny Yun and other female relatives, each holding two pieces of oilcloth, were sewing.
Xu Ping'an, Xu Pinggui and others saw that they could not help.
Thinking of what Lin Mo said that the snowstorm would last for seven days, they calculated that they might not have enough firewood.
So I thought I'd go out and find more firewood while the wind and snow were still light.
Lin Mo didn't stop them.
One, prepare more firewood, that's right.
Another thing is that they all have martial arts skills, so they can withstand this little wind and snow.
Lin Mo threw them a water bag filled with wine and asked them to drink it before leaving.
When Xu Ping'an and the others walked out, reeking of alcohol, everyone's eyes widened.
Do you still need to go out and find firewood?
Shen Zhixuan glanced in the direction of Lin Mo, and his eyes fell on Shen Qingyun:
"Dad, I'm afraid this snowstorm won't stop for a while.
The Xu family has prepared so much firewood and they still have to go and collect it. I think we should prepare more, what do you think, Dad?"
Seeing his father looking at him, Shen Zhixuan said seriously:
"Dad, it's better to be prepared."
Looking at his son who had become more determined, Shen Qingyun nodded with satisfaction:
"Okay, do as you say."
"Brother, it's so cold outside..."
Shen Pingqi, who wanted to complain, saw Shen Qingyun looking at him coldly, so he could only shut his mouth depressedly and dared not say a word.
Shen Zhixuan stood up:
"Let's go, while the wind and snow aren't too strong, let's go out and find as many as we can."
…
Lin Mo glanced in the direction of the Shen family. This Shen Zhixuan is quite smart.
but……
After glancing in Zhou Yuxuan's direction, Lin Mo looked away.
She lowered her head and continued sewing the oilcloth in her hands.
This woman is about to cause trouble, she needs to be prepared.
Xu Xianyu stopped what he was doing and looked towards the cave entrance with some concern.
The wind and snow are getting stronger and stronger. I wonder how her brother is doing now?
She couldn't help but look at Lin Mo:
"Sister-in-law, I'm a little worried about my brother.
With such a heavy snowstorm, I wonder if he will be okay."
"Your brother is not stupid. He will find a place to hide in such a heavy snowstorm." Lin Mo shook his head without looking up.
"And he's in the Divine Doctor Valley, so he'll be fine."
Xu Xianyu thought so too.
Then he looked down at the oilcloth in his hand, with a puzzled look on his face:
"Sister-in-law, why are we sewing this oilcloth?"
Oilcloth is very rough and thick and difficult to sew.
If you want to push the needle through, you have to use force, which is very strenuous.
Moreover, the oilcloth was in pieces, and she had no idea what her sister-in-law was going to do.
"Tent." Lin Mo looked up and gestured the shape of a tent:
"Tents can keep us out of the wind. If we're late and miss a place to stay, we can put up the tent. At least it can keep us out of the wind and keep us from being so cold."
The further north you go, the worse the living conditions become.
And in all likelihood you'll have to live outdoors, so you need to make some extra preparations.
Xu Mengxian's eyes lit up, and her face was filled with excitement:
"Sister-in-law, this tent is great. If we make it now, can we use it right away?"
Thinking of this, Xu Mengxian couldn't help but want to hurry up.
As long as the tent is made, it can be set up immediately to block the wind.
But unfortunately, my hands were frozen stiff and painful and could not be moved.
Xu Mengxian had no choice but to reach out to the fire to warm herself up in frustration.
It's too cold.
"Okay, but I can't do it tonight." Lin Mo paused:
"I'm very tired today. Clean up and go rest first. We can do the rest tomorrow."
After saying that, he stood up and walked outside.
"Momo, where are you going?" Liu Ying asked nervously.
Lin Mo turned around and chuckled:
"I'm just going to the cave entrance to take a look, Mom, don't worry."
After saying that, she continued walking towards the cave entrance.
When he reached the cave entrance, Lin Mo discovered that there was a thick layer of snow on the ground outside.
The whistling cold wind kept blowing towards her.
So cold!
Lin Mo hugged herself tightly with both hands.
At the same time, his brows were tightly furrowed.
With such a heavy snowstorm, I wonder if Mr. Wei and the others are okay?
At this moment, Xiao Liuzi walked over with a serious face.
"Mrs. Xu, I plan to go pick up Brother Wei and the others.
The snow and wind are so strong, I’m afraid something might happen to them.”
Lin Mo hesitated and nodded:
"Wait a minute, I'll go with you."
"What?"
Xiao Liuzi shook his head fiercely, "No.
The snowstorm is so strong it could blow you away, so you'd better not get involved and cause more trouble."
Blow away?
Lin Mo wanted to laugh.
In the previous life, maybe.
But it's impossible in this life.
She shook her head, “Have you forgotten how strong I am?
Wind, how could you possibly blow me away?
This wind can blow you away, but it can't blow me away.
Okay, wait for me."
After saying that, she turned and walked towards her mother.
She took this risk for her own reasons.
She thought the escorts were on her side.
It is usually difficult to operate and no one will buy it from her.
But this kind of weather is most suitable for Shi En.
If you miss it, you may never get a second chance.
After saying something to Liu Ying, Lin Mo bent down and picked up four handy wooden sticks.
"Momo, don't go." Liu Ying looked at her worriedly.
"The snow and wind are too strong, and it's late at night. You haven't had much rest all day. It's too dangerous."
"Mom, I have to go. Don't worry, I'm fine. I will come back safely."
Lin Mo shook her head at her, motioned Lin Shuo to come and comfort her, then she turned and left.
When they reached the cave entrance, she handed two of the sticks to Xiao Liuzi.
Seeing Xiao Liuzi's puzzled expression, Lin Mo explained:
"This stick will make it easier to move forward in the snow, and it can also be used to test for danger. Let's go, let's not waste time."
After saying that, he immediately walked outside.
…
Just when Lin Mo and Xiao Liuzi went out to look for Lao Wei and the others, Lao Wei was lying quietly on the snow, staring at the team in front of him that was gradually moving away with numb eyes.
His body was frozen stiff, and he endured the severe pain in his body.
With trembling hands, he took out the blood-stained wine bag from his arms.
Bite open the lid and drink the last few sips of wine.
He had no regrets as he could still drink a few sips of good wine before he died.
He burped and then threw the wine bag away.
Old Wei slowly closed his eyes and let the wind and snow cover his body.
Who has not died since ancient times?
Anyway, eighteen years later, he is a hero again.
It's just a little regretful that I died in this way.
The snow quickly buried his body.
First the legs, then the body, and finally the head.
Just as the snow and wind were about to completely cover him, he heard a shout from afar.
Immediately afterwards, the snow on his face was swept away.
Soon, he was dug out from the snow.
Old Wei opened his eyes with difficulty.
He looked at Xu Wuyan in surprise and said with difficulty:
"No... I didn't expect that the last person I saw would be the prince."
Xu Wuyan didn't say anything.
He did not miss the bloodstains on Lao Wei's body.
Dig the man out and immediately check his injuries.
The examination revealed that he had multiple fractures throughout his body, with his calf being the most seriously injured.
A branch pierced his calf directly, and blood coagulated around the wound.
Xu Wuyan was thankful that the weather was cold now and the wound was frozen, so it stopped bleeding.
"What's going on?" Xu Wuyan frowned.
"Why did they leave you here?"
"What else?" Old Wei was shivering from the cold due to excessive blood loss.
"In this kind of snowy weather, it's hard to protect yourself. If you take me with you, you'll die."
Xu Wuyan shook his head, took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, poured out two pills and handed them to his mouth:
"Eat it, and I'll take you away."
Old Wei was stunned for a moment and shook his head:
"I appreciate your kindness, but please leave me alone. I..."
The next second, Xu Wuyan reached out and pinched his chin, then stuffed the medicine into his mouth:
"Live well and remember that you owe me a life.
Stay awake, don’t sleep.”
After saying that, he stood up and left without caring about Lao Wei's expression.
Old Wei, nothing can happen.
His life would only benefit them.
When Xu Wuyan came back, he had two thick wooden sticks in his hands.
He used the dry vines he had pulled up and wrapped them around the wooden sticks to make a stretcher.
Then they moved the seriously injured Old Wei onto the stretcher.
In order to avoid injuring his legs again while dragging him, Xu Wuyan specially used a rope to fix his legs and the wooden stick.
After doing all this, Xu Wuyan lifted the other end of the stretcher and dragged him forward with difficulty.
The severe snowstorm made it extremely difficult to walk without any weight.
Now that I'm dragging someone with me, it's even harder to move forward.
Soon, a heavy breathing sound was heard in the wind and snow.
Old Wei, whose body was frozen stiff, looked at the traces of being dragged behind him and smiled bitterly:
"Prince, do you have any wine?"
The next second, a wine bag was thrown at him.
Old Wei unscrewed the cork of the wine bag with trembling hands and poured the wine into his mouth.
After the cold and spicy wine entered the stomach, every part of the body immediately felt warm, and the mind became much clearer.
Who wants to die if you can live?
belch!
Old Wei burped, "Prince, I, Old Wei, owe you my life."
He was injured, and it was understandable that the exiles did not care about him.
But his colleagues abandoned him without hesitation. Who wouldn't be heartbroken?
There was a carriage and a horse, and if we just put him on it, we could save his life.
But they didn't care about their own life or death and just left.
The world is so fickle.
Xu Wuyan took a breath:
“Just remember it.
If you have the strength, why don't you tell me why you were seriously injured?"
Lao Wei can't sleep.
In this kind of weather, and with his serious injuries, if he fell asleep, he might not wake up.
