Chapter 148 Despair
"Oh my god, help!"
There were also many people who were not far from the entrance of the valley. When they saw the avalanches on both sides, they were so scared that they rolled and crawled, using all their strength to run out of the valley.
Fortunately, there was only a short distance between them, and these people finally escaped from the valley before the avalanche engulfed them.
But Chen Xue's family was not so lucky.
Because their family was still in the center of the valley, at least dozens of meters away from the valley entrance.
A distance of dozens of meters may seem short, but under the terrifying avalanche torrent, there is no way to escape unless you are a reincarnated god.
"master!"
Following the orders of Lord Chen, the servants of the Chen family have been assisting the prisoners in the front and letting them leave as soon as possible.
As a result, because of the avalanche, the prisoners rushed forward frantically without any need for them to urge them.
But they were also pushed around by the prisoners, just like leaves in the waves, drifting with the wind.
They were forced to follow the crowd out of the valley, so when they were free, they were already very far away from Chen Xue's family.
Therefore, they could only shout desperately and even rushed towards Chen Xue, wanting to rush over and rescue them.
"You're crazy!"
Several yamen runners nearby subconsciously pulled them back, "Are you looking for death?"
"We are members of the Chen family in life and ghosts of the Chen family in death!" Chen Da shook off the bailiff's hand without hesitation. "Master and the others are in danger. How can we just stand by and watch?"
"That's right, even if we die, we will die with the master."
The words of several servants moved everyone.
"Okay, we'll go with you!"
The Chen family guards also echoed. They were Xie Yunshang's personal guards. Even if Lord Chen died, the most they would bear was the responsibility of failure to perform their duties.
If we rush over now and face the terrifying avalanche, we will be seeking death.
But thinking about how the Chen family treated them like family these days, and did not regard them as subordinates at all, or in other words, like General Xie, they treated them as friends.
They were respected and recognized.
As the saying goes, a gentleman will die for the one who pleases him.
They had this idea at this time.
"Master Chen, run!"
At this time, a figure next to them rushed over before they could act. That person was Xu Tian.
He had been at the front of the team helping them move forward, but then he heard a noise from behind and turned around to see an avalanche. His face suddenly changed and he ran back desperately.
As a result, we saw endless white torrents on the hillsides hundreds of meters high on both sides, rushing towards the valley with tremendous force.
Rumble!
A thunderous sound rang in everyone's ears, making their hearts tremble violently. They didn't dare to stay where they were and tried their best to distance themselves from the valley.
But Xu Tian saw that under the white torrent, Chen Xue's family was like ants, like a lone boat in the waves that could capsize at any time.
Therefore, his eyes were bloodshot and he rushed towards the valley madly, wanting to help Lord Chen.
"Captain, don't be impulsive!"
"that is!"
"If you rush forward now, you'll just die!"
The yamen runners nearby ran over to pull him. Some of them were indeed thinking about Xu Tian, while some were not.
But if the exile team does not have a yamen captain again, these prisoners may cause trouble again.
Moreover, they actually thought in their hearts that maybe Xu Tian was just pretending and didn't really want to rush over. In fact, he wanted someone to hold him back.
Therefore, if Xu Tian calms down afterwards and thinks about how I pulled him back and saved his life, he might look at me differently.
In short, with various purposes in mind, many yamen runners pulled Xu Tian back to prevent him from rushing forward.
"Let me go!"
"Let me go and save Master Chen!"
"Assholes, let me go!"
"Master Chen is in danger, how can I stand by and watch? You bastards, let me go quickly!"
Xu Tian shouted and cried in despair because he was delayed by his men and had no time to save anyone.
On the other side, Chen Xue and others were terrified when they saw the avalanche coming out. Lord Chen even waved the reins and urged the horses to run.
But because the horses were driven too hard, they became a little crazy and the carriage got stuck in the snow.
They knew that the distance was too far and there was no time to escape. If they drove the carriage at the fastest speed, they might have a chance to avoid the avalanche.
As a result, things did not go as planned. The more they wanted to escape, the more impossible it was. At the most critical moment, the carriage got stuck in the snow.
This sudden blow filled them with despair, for they could see the white surge approaching.
They could also feel the pain of snow hitting their bodies, and even hear shouts coming from afar, and see the servants rushing towards them.
"I'm sorry, Xiaoxue."
Master Chen looked apologetic and said, "If there is an afterlife, I will make it up to you and your daughter."
Chen Xue didn't want to despair so quickly, so she immediately interrupted her father and said, "Dad, it's not the time to despair yet."
As she spoke, she gathered everyone into the space and took away the carriage, leaving only Chen Xue alone.
She looked at the white torrent rolling on both sides, terrified, her heart almost jumping out of her throat.
Without hesitation, she rushed towards the avalanche on one side.
In her previous life, she had watched many documentaries and read many popular science articles. She knew that if she wanted to survive an avalanche, she had to run sideways. But in reality, it was too late for her to run sideways.
So, we can only run towards the direction of the avalanche.
She had noticed long ago that there was a protruding stone wall beside the hillside not far away. Although it could only barely accommodate one or two people, it was enough.
"Where is Master Chen?"
Although they were far away, they could still see the carriage disappear, or rather a big black dot disappear, leaving only one person rushing towards the avalanche.
"What is she doing?"
Someone with good eyesight recognized Chen Xue and was surprised to see her running towards the avalanche.
"Is she seeking death?"
"Shut up and don't be rude to Fairy Chen."
The people around him immediately started to scold him, and even said, "Fairy Chen must have her reasons for doing this."
"It's just an avalanche, how could it possibly hurt Fairy Chen?"
After all, in their impression, Chen Xue could make the sun disappear when she got angry, so they thought that a mere avalanche could not hurt her at all.
If Chen Xue knew that everyone thought this way, she would definitely be very pleased, and might even want to sing a line, "Listen to me, thank you."
Just as everyone was surprised, two terrifying white torrents finally came down the hillside, flooding the valley, Chen Xue's figure, and everyone's sight.
The Chen family servants and guards who originally wanted to rush forward had to retreat quickly, but were still buried by the rushing snow.
"No!"
Xu Tian was pulled by his men all the time, even to a place farther away from the valley. Everyone was stunned when they saw the horror of the avalanche flooding the valley.
The restrictions on Xu Tian were lifted, and Xu Tian's eyes were bloodshot, and he collapsed on the ground, as if his life had collapsed and he was in despair.
"Why!"
“Why is this happening?”
"Master Chen..."
"Fairy Chen..."
