Once they reached the snowy area outside the city, Uncle Gu stopped mentioning his eldest daughter who had caused him so much heartache, and instead called over a few children to get out of the car and play in the snow.
Apart from Huo Yanyu and Gu Nian, the others had never even touched snow.
Gu En ran away and then threw a snowball at Uncle Gu.
As soon as he launched it, all the children rushed to face Uncle Gu.
Uncle Gu had a great time playing with them and even invited Bai Er and Bai Si, who were driving the carriage, to join them.
Bai Er and Bai Si were very disgusted with Uncle Gu. "You're over thirty! You look perfectly normal. Don't act like an idiot."
Despite her initial disdain, she joined in the snowball fight, of course, to help the children bully Uncle Gu.
After playing for a while, Gu Nian and a few other girls built a snowman together. Although it was cold, everyone was in high spirits and seemed not to feel the cold at all.
"Hey, there's a cave over there. I think I saw someone go in!" Gu Xin finished building her snowman and was about to tell her sisters when she suddenly saw a figure flash by in the distance.
Everyone looked over and saw that there was indeed a cave, but they didn't find anyone there.
There was no snow around Kuncheng, so they walked quite far.
Bai Er looked around and said, "We've come here before and never found a cave. We guessed it was hidden by plants. But now that the snow has covered everything with a thick layer, the cave is visible."
Gu Xin suggested going over to take a look, but Bai Er, Bai Si, and Uncle Gu all advised against it, since it was quite far away and no one knew what the area around the cave was like before the snowfall. What if they got stuck?
Or are there wild animals in the cave?
In this icy and snowy place, even the wild animals have nothing to eat.
Gu Xin is actually very curious, but she is also more obedient. Since her uncle has said so, she won't go!
Uncle Gu then asked Gu Xin if she really saw something enter the cave.
Gu Xin nodded firmly: "Something really went in. But you said there were wild animals, so I'm not sure if it was a person or a beast that went in. Anyway, it was moving, and I saw it in the blink of an eye."
Uncle Gu: "Let's go back then! We've been playing for several hours, and I'm getting a little tired."
Then the group returned to the carriage and ate some pastries there.
After the carriage departed, for some reason, Gu Xin still peeked out and looked in the same direction as before.
However, the place where the carriage stopped was quite far from where they had just built the snowman, and Gu Xin couldn't quite see if there was anything left there.
Gu Nian pulled her back: "Stop looking, snow is drifting in, be careful not to catch a cold."
Gu Xin pursed her lips: "Uncle, sister, I have a feeling that someone really went in just now. Should we come back and check again after the snow melts?"
Uncle Gu shook his head: "I don't have time. I have to go to Chunnan City tomorrow. Let Niannian and Sisi come with you!"
Gu En immediately raised her hand: "Third sister, I, I'll come with you! But you have to tell Second Uncle for me!"
Gu Xin: "I don't want you to come! Even if I tell Dad, you won't have time! You forgot, the snow will melt and spring will be here, and you have to go back to Qingzhou for your exams."
Uncle Gu: "That's right! Enzi, you'll be spending a few months alone in Qingzhou next year preparing for the exam! Son, do your best, our eldest son's family is counting on you! If you become the top scholar, your older and younger sisters won't be bullied anymore!"
Gu En pouted: "Dad, even if I don't become the top scholar, no one will dare to bully them."
Sigh, when will this ever end!
