It snowed all night, and early the next morning, the accompanying guards began to clear the snow. It took more than half an hour to clear a path so that the carriage could pass through.

When he first entered the cave, Li Xian'er was still complaining about living in such a poor place. But looking back now, this was probably the most comfortable night they had in the rest of their trip.

The further north you go, the colder the weather becomes. Xu Shihuan asked the doctor to quietly stop the debilitating ingredients in Princess Shuhui's medicine, and her body got better day by day.

But it was so cold outside that she didn't want to expose herself to the ice and snow for a moment, and she didn't even bother to act like a monster. At this time, the gap between people is clearly reflected.

The two envoys from the Siwu Kingdom, Xu Shihuan, Zhao Tieniu, and a few people in the team who had lived in Hezhou were accustomed to such a climate, and they were even in the mood to appreciate the surrounding snow scenery.

But other people were not so calm. They were all wrapped up like rice dumplings, but their bodies were still shaking as if they were suffering from epilepsy. No one could have imagined that it had been snowing for half a month since they set out.

Wen Yidi was nestled in the blanket at this time, letting Xu Shihuan play with his fingers. Although the two had a bit of an unpleasant quarrel a few days ago, after they talked about it, their relationship got closer.

After all, there is not only one person who is truly moved. As long as you don't think about the future, you are happy now.

However, a sudden sound broke the tranquility at this time. To Wen Yidi, it sounded like the sound of pancakes with two pods of fruit freshly baked out of the pan and taken in a big bite.

Almost immediately, Xu Shihuan stood up and hurriedly whispered:

"Avalanche, run to higher ground! If you don't have time to run, hug the trees and rocks."

As soon as she finished speaking, she had already put on her robe and rushed out. Wen Yidi also quickly followed her instructions and ran to higher ground. However, as soon as he reached the halfway point of the mountain, he heard a terrifying roar coming from underneath him.

The suddenly collapsed snow was like a wild horse or a raging torrent, rushing down the mountain desperately. The rolled up snowflakes, like thick smoke from a fire, spread instantly, covering everything in this white.

At first, Wen Yidi could barely see the outline of the motorcade, and he could even vaguely see Xu Shihuan's figure among these outlines. But soon, he couldn't see anything clearly.

He suddenly realized that no matter high or low status, no matter men, women, old or young, they were just like ants in the face of disaster.

The position where Wen Yidi was standing at this time was above the location where the avalanche occurred, and was not affected in any way. But he hugged the big tree next to him tightly, the only way to keep his body from falling.

He had never seen such a horrific scene in his life. There is no flash of sword or shadow, no dripping blood, but it can make everything disappear suddenly.

He didn't stagger down the mountain until the surroundings returned to tranquility, until the area turned into that beautiful world made of ice and snow, as if nothing had ever happened.

Before running far, Wen Yidi met two envoys, Princess Shuhui and others. They were very lucky. As soon as the driver heard the news of the avalanche, he rushed up the slope as fast as he could. Fortunately, he avoided the avalanche's path and barely saved his life.

Seeing Wen Yidi coming, several guards quickly asked him where he and Xu Shihuan had gone, and why they only saw their carriage coming but not their people.

Upon hearing this, Wen Yidi had no time to explain and hurriedly ran down again. He could only rely on the scenes he saw to estimate where Xu Shihuan might appear.

Sure enough, when he got there, he found that Zhao Tieniu had already dug there, and a human figure was vaguely visible in the snow pit he dug. However, that person was obviously not Xu Shihuan.

Seeing him coming, Zhao Tieniu threw him a long branch and said hurriedly:

"Use the branches to dig down first. If you feel something, start digging. Don't worry about who it is. Only one can be saved! We only have a quarter of an hour!"

While talking, Zhao Tieniu had already rescued a coachman and continued to explore further. Wen Yidi quickly did as he asked, and after a while he found someone under his feet.

He dug hard at the snow with his hands, without any hesitation even when his fingernails began to bleed. The first one, no. The second one, neither. He rescued two people in succession, but Xu Shihuan was never seen.

Because the rescue was timely, the lives of these rescued people were not in danger, but after they had just escaped death, their limbs were limp and unable to move.

"Master Wen, please rest for a while. It's been so long, even if you find someone, I'm afraid..."

A former guard saw Wen Yidi's frozen blue and purple hands and finally couldn't help but persuade him. But Wen Yidi rarely got angry and said sternly:

"Master Xu hasn't been found yet, how can you rest? She was the first one to discover the avalanche, she could have been the first to escape!"

Hearing Wen Yidi's words, the guard was also stunned. He just focused on escaping for his life, so he didn't have time to think too much. Now after being reminded by Wen Yidi, he realized that the person who told them to run away before the avalanche was Mr. Xu.

While they were busy running to higher ground, Master Xu was running in the opposite direction, trying his best to remind everyone to run away.

Soon, more and more people joined the rescue team. They successively rescued three rickshaw drivers who were dying from the cold, and rescued four horses, but they could never find any trace of Xu Shihuan.

"Master Wen! Stop looking for me!"

Seeing that someone was about to persuade him to give up, Wen Yidi was just about to start a fire. The man took action directly and asked him to look into the distance. I saw a small black spot in the distance, moving slowly in their direction.

But for such a small figure, Wen Yidi was certain that this person was Xu Shihuan.

"Zhao Tieniu! Come and count the people! How many people are still missing?"

"Where is the doctor? Take the injured ones quickly and bandage their wounds!"

"Everyone who is fine, don't stand here. Go to that high ground. Let's rest there today!"

"The driver's life is also life! As long as you can survive, don't give up easily!"

Xu Shihuan was covered in snow from head to toe, looking both embarrassed and funny. But everyone in the team looked at her with a little more respect.

So what if she's a woman? They all knew in their hearts that when they were in danger, it was Mr. Xu in front of them who saved their lives.

They could not forget that while others were busy running to higher places, Mr. Xu was running in the opposite direction.
