Chapter 233 If I die, all my property will be left to you...
"I never thought we'd actually make it out of the snow forest..."
The moment Fang Yefan saw the boundary, he exaggeratedly knelt down on both knees, embraced the blue sky, and roared with abandon, like a wild monkey emerging from the mountains.
Regardless of his current disheveled appearance, he could easily play a savage.
Fang Ke slapped him on the back of the head and said, "Stop yelling. You're not in China anymore. Any two random people could just rush out and drag you away and shoot you."
Fang Yefan: "..."
Fang Yefan whispered, "Really? How do you know?"
“Montene is located on the border with R country. Following our northward direction, we should be in R country by now.”
Fang Yefan quickly got up from the ground, his face becoming serious and tense, no longer daring to relax. Damn it, these two weeks of wilderness survival were arduous and difficult, enough for him to remember for a lifetime.
As far as the eye could see, all they could see was a land covered in white snow, a vast expanse of white stretching as far as the eye could see.
Fang Yefan suddenly felt very discouraged. "Fang Ke, what sins have we committed? Even if we leave the snow forest, there are still more desolate snowfields waiting for us. In the forest, we can find some wild game to eat, but on this snowfield, if we are not careful, we will be in the middle of nowhere with no food, and the probability of death is much higher."
Fang Ke tilted her head slightly, "Giving up like that?"
Fang Yefan slumped his shoulders, probably because he had always lived a life of luxury and had never suffered like this before.
He gave a bitter smile, "These past two weeks of wilderness survival training with you in the snowy forest have made me realize that I am really not as good as you. I've thought about what kind of life you've been living out there for the past two years, and now I know it's definitely not good, otherwise it wouldn't have toughened you up like this."
Fang Ke: "...?"
"Your thinking is quite unconventional."
"Fang Ke, if we can get out of here, I swear I'll never... treat you badly again. I want to make up for all the wrongs I've done to you these past two years. I'll treat you well from now on, okay? Please don't refuse. We've been through life and death together so many times..."
Fang Ke listened without much reaction, then suddenly smiled and asked, "How are you going to treat me well?"
"I……"
Fang Yefan hesitated. Anyone can say nice things, but when it comes to actually doing them, he was a little lost because... he had never done it before.
If we apply the same approach he used on Su Yao, it seems a bit off.
But he looked anxious, as if he wanted to prove that he wasn't lying.
"Is your kindness just about giving me gifts or money?"
"Or is your preparation reflected in believing in me, trusting me, respecting me, and immediately ceasing to doubt me and refraining from physically 'educating' me again?"
Fang Yefan: "..."
Fang Yefan was clearly stunned, pondering her words in a daze.
Indeed, it seems that being kind to people is pretty much all you can do.
Fang Ke looked at him quietly. "Fang Yefan, just how arrogant are you? What you're about to do to make up for what you're doing is something even a regular friend would do. Do you think I should be touched?"
Fang Yefan was speechless; it seemed he had angered Fang Ke again.
He stammered, "I don't... want you to be moved, I don't want you to respond to anything, I'm just talking about myself, I want to make it up to you, I want to be good to you..."
As he spoke, he choked up noticeably, and his eyes turned red, as if he were truly recalling all the bad things he had done to Fang Ke over the years.
Fang Ke is right. Ordinary friends can trust each other, respect each other, care about each other, and exchange gifts. His brother's behavior... seems like a joke.
In an instant, amidst the north wind and snow, Fang Yefan's body seemed even thinner and more desolate.
Bystander B even thought that he might die in the freezing cold at any moment.
But Fang Ke said, "Alright, save your last words for later. You won't die."
Fang Yefan smiled wryly, realizing that Fang Ke had once again preemptively comforted him.
He touched his face, somewhat jokingly, "I can't even guarantee my current physical strength, how can you be so sure?"
Fang Ke coldly replied, "Can I see you believe it? Your luck is rising, so you won't die."
"...You're just trying to coax me."
Fang Ke ignored his self-pity, and Fang Yefan had gotten used to her indifference. In fact, this made him feel quite at ease.
Unbeknownst to him, Fang Ke could see that his luck was rising; that moment of reflection had actually increased it to 180.
This is certainly a good thing; Fang Yefan should reflect on this more.
The two moved slowly through the snow and ice, like two small boats floating between heaven and earth. After two difficult days, they finally saw a dozen or so dark figures in the distance, walking towards them indistinctly.
Fang Yefan leaned weakly against her and asked, "Is it my hallucination, or am I already dead? Are those people or ghosts in front of me?"
Fang Ke grabbed his arm and pulled him forward, saying, "If you waste your energy talking nonsense again, you're really going to die."
Neither side avoided the other, and both moved forward at high speed. For Fang Ke and Fang Yefan, being able to see people in this place was already luckier than finding gold. Regardless of whether they were good or bad people, soldiers or fugitives, Fang Ke greeted them with a stern face.
They've run out of food, and Fang Yefan started running a high fever yesterday. If no one comes to their aid, they might really never make it out of this hellish place.
…………
Is it them?
"It looks like them!"
"It really is the second young master and the third young lady!"
"Quick...where are the medical personnel? Hurry up, they don't look well."
"Young Miss is amazing! How did you predict they would come out of this valley?"
Fang Ke's tense expression relaxed slightly after hearing these people's voices.
She reached out and patted Fang Yefan, who was almost unconscious. "Fang Yefan, it seems to be one of our people."
"Wh...what?"
Fang Yefan mumbled incoherently, "Fang Ke, I just thought about it. If I die... my parents definitely won't need my assets, and my eldest sister and fourth brother are all better at making money than me, so I'll leave them to you... I have five bank accounts, the password is XXXXXX..."
Fang Ke: ...
Fang Ke watched as a group of well-trained men and women in black down jackets surrounded him. Their faces were friendly and familiar, which did not seem fake.
Fang Ke let them take the dazed Fang Yefan away. She was taken to an off-road vehicle, where she finally recovered and felt warmer. She was no longer numb from the cold in the snow and wind. Now, she felt a tingling, numb sensation all over her body, like the awakening after being frozen by the severe cold.
Fang Ke drank the water offered to her by these people before finally asking, "Are you from the Fang family?"
They just called them "Second Young Master and Third Young Miss".
The leader, a burly young man, nodded, looking at her with a mixture of admiration and pity. "Third Miss, you've suffered this time, but you truly deserve to be the daughter of the Fang family. Like the eldest young lady, you are resilient and tenacious, capable of overcoming any difficulty. Do you know how impossible it was that you accomplished? This is the Man-Eating Valley of Snowstorms in R Country; almost no one who enters this wasteland ever comes out on their own..."
Fang Ke slumped back in her chair, her body limp. Even she was nearing her limit after traveling hundreds of kilometers through the snow-capped mountains.
Fang Ke smiled and nodded. "So, it was my eldest sister who sent you to pick us up?"
The team leader nodded. "Exactly. Miss received a call from the Fourth Young Master a week ago and came all the way from Europe, bringing us to wait for you in this remote town. To be honest... we originally thought our hopes were slim, but we didn't expect... Miss, you guys are really amazing! How did you manage to do that?"
"It's luck, I guess."
Fang Ke only said these three words.
The team leader chuckled, "Even your modesty is so similar. You truly are a family. Third Miss, would you like to call the Eldest Miss to let her know you're safe?"
After a long silence, the team leader turned around and saw that Fang Ke had fallen into a deep sleep.
His face was pale and exhausted.
The team leader sighed and had someone drape a blanket over Fang Ke, knowing that their journey was definitely not due to luck.
