Seeing that Luo Bai was still stubbornly digging in the snow, everyone's hearts softened.
Lei Yi and Eileen grew up with them and came out together; they couldn't just abandon them like this.
Everyone started shoveling snow, and even Xiaomei joined in, trying to shovel as much as possible.
——
You Ran, Ying Yao, and the clan chief were burning a big fire together, waiting for them to come back so they could warm themselves and roast meat.
However, they waited and waited, and it got completely dark, but they still hadn't returned.
The clan chief was very anxious: "Why haven't they returned yet?"
You Ran wanted to ask too, but she knew that the orcs who were standing here waiting were all very anxious.
"Wait a little longer."
It was already dark outside, and the wind and snow were heavy, so they dared not send out even a few orcs to scout the situation.
If they were to encounter any wandering orcs or tribes lacking food and animal hides on the road, they might never return.
However, the fire in the square was almost extinguished, and there was still no sound of their footsteps returning outside.
Only the howling of the wind and snow could be heard.
Ying Yao stood beside You Ran and put his arm around her shoulder: "Let's go back, it's cold outside."
"But Huang Yu and the others haven't returned yet!"
She said yesterday that she would be back today, but it's already past midnight and she still hasn't returned. She's a little worried.
How could Ying Yao not be worried?
All the supplies from this Sunset Tribe transaction are with Huang Yu and Luo Bai. If they don't return, the Sunset Tribe will have a problem surviving the winter.
"I'll have someone look for it tomorrow."
"Um!"
Hearing this, Mu Youran felt somewhat relieved. This was all she could do now.
Back in the cave, Yingyao boiled some hot water, and the two washed up before going to bed to rest.
The soft blanket was very warm on my body.
She lay peacefully on him, nestled in his strong arms, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, before dawn, a commotion suddenly broke out outside.
Mu Youran slowly woke up and heard the joyful sounds outside. She immediately realized that they had returned.
They quickly put on their animal skin skirts and shoes, ready to rush out.
Ying Yao, who had already gotten up, saw that she was about to run out, so he quickly stopped her and draped a cloak over her shoulders.
"Get the cloak and go out again!"
With a sweet smile, she forgot that her arm was still sticking out.
He quickly wrapped himself up tightly before running out.
As soon as she ran out, she saw Luo Bai and Huang Yu walking towards her.
He waved excitedly at them: "Huang Yu, Luo Bai, you're back!"
The next moment, Luo Bai picked up You Ran, spun her around, and laughed excitedly.
"You Ran, we almost didn't get to see you again!"
Upon hearing this, Mu Youran immediately grasped the important information.
What does that mean?
Huang Yu didn't want You Ran to worry about her, and had no intention of telling her. Even if she did find out, it wouldn't be now.
After all, You Ran had only just recovered from a serious illness.
Unexpectedly, that idiot Luo Bai revealed it as soon as he got back.
"It's nothing, we just accidentally encountered an avalanche on the way. Fortunately, we all came back safely."
Luo Bai was very displeased upon hearing this.
He hates lying the most!
She glanced displeasedly at Huang Yu beside her: "Why did you lie!"
Upon hearing this, Mu Youran's heart tightened; he was hiding something from her!
With a furrowed brow, he looked at Huang Yu, whose face was deathly pale and whose lips had lost all color, hoping that he would explain himself.
As soon as Ying Yao came out, he saw Luo Bai's careless words. Since she hadn't come back last night, he suspected that something might have happened.
To avoid worrying You Ran, I got up early in the morning and prepared to personally lead a group to look for her.
Unexpectedly, Luo Bai, as soon as he came back, blurted out everything, making You Ran worry!
What an incompetent partner!
He said impatiently, "Luo Bai, come here and make me some juice."
Upon hearing that there was juice, Luo Bai's eyes lit up instantly, and he quickly ran over. Along the way, he ate meat when he was hungry and grabbed a handful of snow to eat when he was thirsty.
I've been craving homemade sweet fruit juice for ages.
Without Luo Bai, Mu Youran walked up to Huang Yu: "What exactly happened to you?"
She touched his haggard face with deep concern.
Huang Yu knew that You Ran would be very worried about them if she found out.
But now that things have come to this, I have no choice but to tell the truth, otherwise, given her personality, she will probably keep asking me questions.
He reached out and took her hand, leading her towards the cave.
As soon as he entered, he found the cave to be very clean. He sat on the soft bed, leaned back, and didn't want to open his eyes.
Only then did Mu Youran realize that she had dark circles under her eyes and looked so haggard that she didn't even want to talk.
Mu Youran quickly ran to Yingyao's cave next door and brought over some hot water.
"Huang Yu, get up and drink some water before you go back to sleep."
When Huang Yu opened her eyes again, they were bloodshot and completely red.
He took the water from You Ran's hand and drank it all in one gulp, only then did he feel much better.
Lying in bed, looking at You Ran sitting beside him, he pulled her into his arms and held her tightly.
In the instant of the avalanche, he thought he would be buried as well and never see You Ran again.
Fortunately, the Beast God favored him and allowed him to escape.
"What happened to you? How did you end up in such a sorry state?"
Mu Youran lay on his chest, feeling the powerful beating of his heart inside his chest.
Only then did Huang Yu speak softly.
