Chapter 140 Lost in the Snow
What happened?
When Lord Chen saw Xu Tian’s ugly expression, he felt a little worried and couldn’t help but stand up quickly.
"We...we're lost!"
Xu Tian said with some shame and embarrassment that they shouldn't have gotten lost, but because of the snow, everything was white.
In addition, because of snow blindness, everyone tied cloth strips on their eyes, so they couldn't see the road ahead clearly.
They all walked for a while and then took off the cloth strips.
Or, some of them don't fold the cloth too thickly, so they can just barely see what's going on around them, but it's actually still very blurry.
In short, due to such complicated reasons, everyone got lost.
"this……"
Upon hearing this, Chen Xue and Lord Chen's faces turned a little unhappy. Getting lost was not a small matter, but it was not a big one either.
But in the snow, getting lost is a big deal.
And it's a very scary thing.
Especially if a snowstorm is coming.
Lost in the snow, food is a big problem, and keeping warm at night is also a big problem.
They might freeze to death by then. No matter how thick their clothes are, once the blizzard comes, everyone will be buried and there will be no way to escape.
And if you go further and further away, even into the forest, you may encounter hungry wild animals.
It is difficult for people to walk in the snow, so how can they escape from the attacks of hungry beasts?
In short, getting lost in the snow is a very scary thing, and it can almost be said to be a life-threatening situation.
This is also the reason why Xu Tian is so anxious.
Because of snow blindness, the team moved more slowly, and as they consumed more physical energy, the food was also consumed quickly.
By the time they reach the post station, they will probably have starved to death.
Plus other crises.
Therefore, Xu Tian had to come to Chen Xue, because she was a fairy, and Xu Tian subconsciously felt that she had a way.
"It's over, it's over!"
"We're really lost!"
The other prisoners gathered together, their faces full of fear. They were already on a vast expanse of white snow, but they couldn't find their way.
No matter who it is, they will be afraid.
Fear of the unknown!
"We're not going to be stuck in the snow until we die!"
Although they had never experienced getting lost in the snow, they had heard of many stories about people who got lost in the forest and were found dead the next day.
What's more, this is snow.
For a moment, the whole team became anxious.
Xu Tian also saw this situation. After comforting everyone, he hurriedly found Chen Xue's family.
Chen Xue does have a solution.
"We are heading to Nanman, which means we are heading south."
“That’s right!”
"The easiest way is to look at the position of the sun."
Thanks to the Bear Grylls survival series she watched in her previous life, she knew there were many ways to determine directions.
But now we are on the snow, so we can't tell the direction by the trees.
At night you can see the stars.
The sun can naturally pass through during the day.
As Chen Xue spoke, she pointed at the sun, but layers of clouds came like a tide, blocking the sun.
Chen Xue: “…………”
Although it was blocked, Chen Xue had already memorized the position of the sun. After all, the sun always rises in the east and sets in the west.
Chen Xue pointed in a direction, "That's the south!"
"As long as we go that way, we can reach Nanman."
"but……"
Xu Tian just showed an excited and happy smile, but when he heard Chen Xue say "but", his heart skipped a beat.
"If we head south, we can indeed reach Nanman, but we may not be walking on the official road along the way. We may even deviate from the official road and walk through the wild mountains and wilderness."
After all, she didn't know where the official road was.
Even if Xiaoqing was asked to go and see, it would be useless, because the snow was white and the official road was also covered with snow. It was impossible to tell whether it was an official road or a wasteland.
Moreover, judging by the weather, a snowstorm will appear soon.
"So, we should go and explain things to those people, otherwise they might go crazy and tell us we're taking the wrong direction when we're halfway there."
Xu Tian nodded and repeated Chen Xue's words to everyone, asking them to make a decision and give an answer.
Without a doubt, everyone chose to believe Chen Xue.
In other words, they actually don’t know what to do, but at least now they have a direction and naturally there is hope.
More importantly, Chen Xue is an immortal after all, so what she says will definitely not be wrong.
Moreover, they also noticed that the weather was not right and knew that a blizzard might come. Having experienced heavy snow before, they were already well aware of the horror of a blizzard.
"Since there's no problem, let's continue on our way!"
Rumble!
Before they had walked for long, they heard thunder. Their hearts skipped a beat and they couldn't help but speed up.
They didn't want to be outside in the snow, even though they had done so before.
But a blizzard, as the name suggests, is a strong wind plus snow.
A storm can make people doubt their lives, and heavy snow can immediately lead to their reincarnation.
But unfortunately, things don't always go as planned.
Not long after they started walking, heavy snow began to fall accompanied by thunder.
At the same time, a terrifying strong wind mixed with snowflakes crackled and hit everyone's faces.
Moreover, the thin man had not walked far before he was blown back by the strong wind. Even the horses had difficulty walking in the blizzard.
"Bang!"
Someone finally couldn't withstand the strong wind and was blown down on the snow, with half of his body sunk into the snow.
"Get up!"
The people nearby were unable to open their eyes due to the blizzard, and even if they tried to pull it out they couldn't, so they could only shout.
But the man was instantly covered by the wind and snow, and his figure could not be seen clearly.
Wow!
Fortunately, the man finally struggled out of the snow with great difficulty, otherwise he would have been buried alive in the snow.
"No way!"
"The snow is so heavy, we can't walk!"
"Well, there's nowhere to hide!"
"I'm so tired, I really want to sit for a while!"
"Don't sit down, you won't be able to get up if you sit down!"
With such heavy snow, everyone was soon covered with snow, and this was just some of the snow that was being shaken off while walking.
Once you stop, it won't be long before you really become a snow sculpture.
But the snow mixed with strong winds can be very painful, and if you are not careful, you will be knocked to the ground.
"Hurry up, grab my hand!"
From time to time, someone fell to the ground, but fortunately the people around him did not give up and pulled him up.
"Oh no, the carriage won't move!"
The Chen family servant's face changed as he saw that the carriage was surrounded by snow, causing the carriage to sink into the snow again.
Although Chen Xue modified the wheels into those of a sled, it still got stuck in the snow. More importantly, the horse also got stuck in the snow.
Chen Xue and others had to get off the carriage, but the strong wind mixed with heavy snow immediately buried them.
Chen Xue didn't care about anything else at this time. She put her mother and Xiaodie into the space. She originally wanted to put Lord Chen in as well, but Lord Chen disagreed.
How could he leave his daughter alone to face the blizzard?
"No, if we continue like this, even if we're not buried in the snow, we'll die from the hypothermia."
Chen Xue's face looked very ugly. Not only did the storm mix with snow, which was very painful, it also took away the heat from the body, and then people would die from hypothermia.
