The two fell asleep in each other's arms in this comfortable atmosphere.
I don't know how long I slept.
"Boom—boom—"
A deep and tremendous roar came from the depths of the distant snow-capped mountains, growing clearer and clearer as it approached!
Even the ground beneath them seemed to be trembling slightly!
The two, who were extremely vigilant, woke up from their sleep almost instantly.
"not good."
Qin Ye frowned, his expression suddenly changing.
"Like an avalanche, or a large-scale rockfall."
Su Tang was also startled by the sudden loud noise, and her sleepiness vanished instantly.
She looked at the dark, looming mountains in the distance.
What was originally just a howling mountain wind suddenly became even more violent!
Immediately afterwards, large snowflakes mixed with icy raindrops pelted down!
In just a moment, the temperature dropped by more than ten degrees!
"Quick! The weather's about to change! We need to move." Qin Ye made a snap decision and pulled Su Tang up.
He quickly extinguished the fire and covered it with snow.
Then, carrying most of the supplies on his back and holding Su Tang's hand tightly with his other hand, he determined the direction.
They trudged along, one step at a time, towards a mountain hollow that they remembered as being at a higher elevation and hidden by huge rocks.
There should be a small cave there, but enough to shelter from the wind and snow.
The wind and snow grew stronger and stronger, and soon turned into a heavy snowfall, covering the sky and the earth.
Visibility dropped sharply, and everything around us was a white blur, making it almost impossible to see anything more than a few meters away.
Su Tang followed Qin Ye, her steps unsteady, snowflakes covering her face, icy cold.
Qin Ye walked ahead, using his tall frame to shield her from most of the wind and snow.
His palms were broad and warm, tightly enveloping hers and giving her a great sense of security.
He didn't know how long he walked, and just when Qin Ye was about to think he had remembered the wrong direction, he finally found the cave he remembered at the foot of a steep rock wall.
The cave was not large, and the entrance was partially covered by some fallen dead trees and rubble, but the inside was relatively dry.
"Come in quickly!" Qin Ye pulled Su Tang into the cave, then quickly took out an oilcloth from his backpack and made a simple shelter at the entrance, barely blocking some of the wind and snow that was blowing in.
The cave was dimly lit, but it provided temporary shelter from the raging wind and snow outside.
Su Tang's lips were turning slightly purple from the cold, and she kept rubbing her hands together.
Qin Ye put down his backpack and immediately took out spare firewood and tinder.
Using the dandelion fluff that Su Tang had given him earlier, a small campfire was quickly lit.
The flickering flames brought light and warmth, and also dispelled some of the chill in the cave.
Su Tang finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling her frozen body slowly warming up.
She looked at Qin Ye and noticed that his face looked strange, flushed with an unnatural redness.
"Qin Ye, what's wrong?" Su Tang asked worriedly.
Qin Ye shook his head, his voice a little hoarse:
"It's nothing, I probably caught a chill from the wind."
He said he was fine, but Su Tang keenly noticed that his breathing was a little rapid.
She reached out and touched his forehead; it was burning hot to the touch!
"You have a fever."
"The wound must be infected!"
She was scratched by wolf claws yesterday, and although she treated it promptly, the risk of infection is still very high.
In addition, the temperature suddenly dropped, and since he had shielded her from the fiercest blizzard outside, Qin Ye immediately caught a chill.
Qin Ye felt a splitting headache, his whole body was cold, and waves of dizziness washed over him.
He forced himself to say, "I...I'm fine, I'll be fine after a good night's sleep."
As he spoke, he leaned against the cold cave wall and began to doze off, slowly falling into a coma.
