the next day.
Before the rescue team returned, another message arrived.
An avalanche also occurred on another road leading out of the village.
Now both roads leading out of the village are blocked.
The entire village became an isolated island.
Upon hearing the news, I, Baiyuan, rushed home.
"Bai Yuan, you're finally back."
"Do you know how bored I am when I'm home alone?"
Shi Wu muttered to herself, now she couldn't get out of bed.
Without a phone to play with, I could only stare blankly at the ceiling.
It feels like each day is an eternity.
"Sorry, I went out to gather information just now."
Are you alright?
Bai Yuan went forward to check her leg.
Her most serious injury right now is to her leg; the bone is broken.
Although it's now immobilized, surgery is still needed to restore it to its previous state.
Otherwise, who knows how long it would take for the bone to heal.
"By the way, what just happened? I felt like there was an earthquake; the room was shaking a bit."
Shi Wu muttered to herself, glancing at the man beside her.
"Mm." Bai Yuan nodded.
"It's an avalanche."
"But it's similar to an earthquake, because a crack appeared in the mountain after the avalanche."
"Now another road has been cut off."
"The people who went out to search for rescue yesterday have not returned."
"The situation in the whole village is not very optimistic right now."
Bai Yuan frowned as he spoke, looking at Shi Wu with a worried expression.
He said in a low voice, "I'm afraid we won't be able to leave here anytime soon."
"But don't worry, the injury on your leg isn't very serious."
Shi Wu took a deep breath.
"So that's how it is."
Seeing that Shi Wu didn't seem very worried, Bai Yuan was quite surprised.
Aren't you afraid you won't be able to go back?
"There's no electricity or signal here, and your family can't contact you. They must be very worried."
Bai Yuan frowned deeply, looking at Shi Wu with a very worried expression.
"It's fine."
"I can't do anything with this leg anyway."
"As for my family, my parents have been divorced for many years and they each have their own families now."
“I grew up with my grandmother. After she passed away, I started working and traveling at the same time.”
"It's been many years since I left my hometown."
"My parents probably don't even know where I am right now."
Shi Wu let out a long sigh as she spoke.
She sounded a little heartbroken as she spoke.
She came into this world as someone who grew up without maternal or paternal love.
After losing his grandmother, his only remaining relative, he began to travel and see the world.
In the previous life, this body died on the spot during this avalanche.
In this life, because Shi Wu transmigrated, he borrowed this body to continue living.
The consciousness of this body is the same as hers; it has longed for affection since childhood.
They also yearn for love.
However, she seemed to be missing something in her life. In her previous life, she only had brief periods of family companionship, and she had no love at all.
When Shi Wu transmigrated to this world, she could clearly feel the loneliness of this body.
If she were still alive, she would probably long for a stable home.
A place for her to settle down, a haven of love.
Bai Yuan is a perfect fit.
He is dedicated and responsible.
"I'm sorry," Bai Yuan apologized softly, looking at Shi Wu with deep concern in his eyes.
He had previously assumed that Shi Wu must have been a pampered little princess.
Moreover, she has fair skin and an outstanding appearance, and doesn't look like she has been wronged.
But to his surprise, this city girl seemed to be completely different from what he had imagined.
She didn't seem that happy.
"Oh, why are you apologizing?"
“I came here for tourism. You’re surrounded by snow, and the scenery is pretty much the same as Snow Town.”
"It's like a vacation here with you."
"And you're such a good cook. I'm just here to eat and drink for free. I hope you don't mind."
"But then again, you saved me, and I ate your chicken."
"I'll transfer the money to you when the power comes on."
“I went to work last month and even saved up some money.”
Shi Wu grinned and looked at Bai Yuan as she spoke.
"Silly girl, what would I do with your money?"
"Don't you like traveling? Just take the money and keep traveling."
Bai Yuan smiled, then went back to tending to his medicinal herbs.
"Um, Brother Baiyuan, I need to go to the toilet."
Shi Wu muttered to herself.
She had actually been holding back for a long time.
I've been waiting for Bai Yuan to come back.
"Okay, wait a moment."
As he spoke, Bai Yuan quickly went out to get busy.
After a while, he came in again and carried Shi Wu toward the bathroom.
When I entered the bathroom, it was warm and cozy inside.
There was a charcoal fire in the corner; it looked like Bai Yuan had gone to get that earlier.
He was probably worried that she would get cold when she went to the toilet.
This man is quite considerate.
-
On the other side.
Jiang Zhiliu followed Wu Zhuang along the path.
There was a village not far ahead, and when she saw the house, she was overjoyed.
Thinking they had reached the vicinity of the county town, they quickened their pace.
"Dazhuang, you went hunting, and you ended up bringing back a girl?"
