hepherd" she exclaimed as she scrambled out of the car.Junzhi's shepherd held the phone, a strange tone in her voice. Why had she become so agitated He pondered for a moment but didn't speak.She was r..."Auntie Jun, how long will my father and Uncle Lu be gone"
On such an unusual stormy night, not even the children could sleep. Pei Yi leaned tightly against her, raising his bright eyes, his childish face unable to conceal his worry.
They will be back soon.
Qiao Baoer didn't know the specific time, at this time she could only wait. Seeing Pei Yi's face flushed, she was afraid that he had a fever, so she immediately reached out to touch his forehead.
It's getting a little warm.
Qiao Bao'er glanced at Zhu Xiaowei, and Xiao Zhu nervously probed his forehead for him. He really had a fever. "Pei Yi, do you think your head hurts" Xiao Zhu asked him softly.
Pei Yi's little face was pale and her spirits were low. She shook her head listlessly and mumbled in a soft voice, "I'll be fine, don't tell Dad."
Xia Zhu worriedly wrapped him in more blankets.
< Qiao Bao'er thought for a moment, got up, "The hotel should have common medications, fever and cold medicine should be available. I'll go find some." >
Qiao Bao'er walked through the lobby, passing through the crowd. She was about to go find the hotel staff to get her medicine when she was stopped by two young women in very elegant attire.
These two beautiful foreign women with blond hair and blue eyes suddenly knelt down in front of Qiao Bao'er, "Miss, please save my father."
Jo Baoer was surprised and didn't react.
We can't just stand by and watch our elderly father pass away. He is in great pain and needs to be taken to the hospital for immediate treatment...
The man who had suddenly suffered a stroke before lay flat on a long table, kept warm under a blanket. The old man's face was dark, and his lifeless expression seemed close to death.
"Our family is a prominent one in this region. Take my father's belt buckle to the town and they will immediately send someone up the mountain to rescue us. We will reward you handsomely..."
Zhu Xiaowei saw Qiao Ba'er being blocked by someone over there, with loud and noisy arguing. She turned around and told Xia Chuxue to watch Pei Yi, then she hurried over to see the situation.
"Do you want Qiao Bao'er to ski down the mountain now"
Zhu Xiaowei heard these words, her face full of shock and anger. "Although the wind and snow have stopped, everyone knows that the ski slopes on the east side are so steep. Even during the day after a blizzard, skiing is very dangerous. Now at night, you want her to be sent to her death!"
Several burly men walked over, their faces stern. "This young lady's skiing skills are quite professional," they said. "She'll be fine going down the mountain."
Qiao Bao'er didn't have much expression on her face, she just said two words to them, "Sorry."
Now, each for himself.
She agreed to stay and watch over Zhu Xiaowei, so they couldn't leave. Besides, the mountainside to the east was too steep. Although it only took 20 minutes to walk down to town, it could be deadly any minute.
The two beautiful women who were originally kneeling on the ground, hearing her refusal, immediately stood up aggressively, glaring at her, and pointing at Qiao Bao'er's face, shouting, "You selfish person."
"You could have saved my father, you heartless woman! You had the power but chose to do nothing. "
That woman's voice was shrill and biting, as she angrily screamed and berated.
Joe Baoer remained silent, finding the people before her rather ridiculous.
Their loved ones' lives are precious, but other people's lives are worthless.
Jo Bao'er dragged Zhu XiaoWei away, but one of the men behind them suddenly roared in fury, "I will not allow my father to be harmed! You must come down the mountain!"
"What do you want to do!"
Zhu Xiaowei's face was filled with terror, seeing the man behind her actually holding a gun and pointing it at Qiao Baier.
The commotion grew louder and the onlookers began to retreat fearfully, with occasional shouts of "Put down your gun! Put down your gun!"
Qiao Bao'er's face was grave. She pushed Zhu Xiaowei behind her and subconsciously reached for the steel knife at her waist.
"Your father had a stroke. I'm sorry, but there's nothing I can do about it."
She tried to remain calm as she faced the man before her.
This man, who looked to be in his forties, held a handgun and seemed nervous. He cocked the gun and then waved it wildly through the crowd.
"You heartless woman, you can bear to watch my father die like this I won't let you get away with this! If we must die, then we shall all die together!"
That shiny black gun was pointing wildly at the crowd, causing everyone to scream in fright and run for cover.
This man is absolutely insane, threatening with a gun at this moment.
Someone in the crowd shouted fearfully, "I've seen you ski, you're very professional at it. You should go down and save the old man."
"The old man is pitiful; he made great contributions to the local area in his youth. He shouldn't just die like this. You should go down the mountain and risk your life for him. This would be your glory."
Someone shouted loudly, "Only you have the ability, and yet you stand idly by as others die!" They all blamed Qiao Baoer, condemning her in unison.
"You cowardly, spineless lot!"
Xia Chuixue, holding Pei Yi, walked over. Even she, a weak woman, couldn't help but say, "You guys are being too harsh! We foreign tourists' lives aren't worth anything Are only you guys noble You sons, your skiing skills are good, why don't you dare to go down the mountain You are the cowards."
"Be quiet!" The young noble children in front of him were furious.
"I want you to go down the mountain and find someone right now, or I'll kill him!" The man with the gun had a ferocious look on his face, he suddenly pointed the gun at Pei Yi.
Zhu Xiao Wei was frightened and rushed over in a panic, "Don't make trouble!"
Qiao Bao'er was afraid that she had really angered the other party, so she immediately grabbed her arm and glared angrily at the group of so-called nobles in front of her.
Xia Chui Xue tightly hugged Pei Yi, her eyes locked on the black metal muzzle pointed at them. Her whole body froze.
There was a moment of silence in the hall.
Pei Yi was just a child after all. He held back his tears and looked fearfully towards Qiao Baier.
"Don't cry." Qiao Baoer whispered to him.
Bei Yi choked back a sob, his fever coupled with the fright made his small body tremble constantly. He clenched his teeth, trying not to cry, which was heartbreaking to see.
"I promise to ski down the mountain, you put the gun down."
Jo Bao'er's face was complex, suppressing her anger as she agreed to the terms.
But these noble children refused to agree, “We'll go to the ski resort now, and as long as you obey our orders and come down the mountain to save my father, I won't harm anyone here...”
Their guns were still raised, holding Pei Yi hostage.
Xia Chuixue held Pei Yi's hand and walked step by step towards the ski resort. Qiao Baier and Zhu Xiaowei followed warily, behind them were several aristocratic children who threatened with guns, as well as several strangers.
They walked for half an hour to the ski resort,
the wind and snow had stopped, but the temperature outside was still very low.
One of them held two bright flashlights,
the atmosphere was tense and heavy.
Qiao Bao'er changed her skiing equipment because she needed someone to bring a flashlight for lighting, and she needed to find another person to ski down the mountain together.
At that moment, the lanky photographer stepped forward. "I'll go," he said.
Jo Bao'er looked at the photographer, feeling that there was something unusual about him.
But the armed men chose Big Whiskers, because Big Whiskers was strong and had good skiing skills. Besides, they thought the photographer knew some emergency medicine and wanted him to stay behind to watch over the half-dead old father. Big Whiskers was unlucky and got picked out.
"Why should I go I'm not going!"
The burly man was forced by two strong men to put on skis, and he cursed angrily.
No matter how much he struggled, faced with the dangerous muzzle of a gun, the bearded man could only grit his teeth and remain silent.
Qiao Bao'er looked down at the steep mountain, shrouded in darkness and gloom. She suppressed the fear in her heart; this was practically a suicide mission.
Xia Chui Xue held Pei Yi in her arms and shouted at her, "Auntie Jun—" Little Pei Yi burst into tears.
"Qiao Bao'er, you...you won't be alright, right"
Zhu Xiaowei's heart was pounding, tears welling up in her eyes and falling down. Qiao Baier's face was grim, putting on a brave face, "It's okay."
"Stop wasting time! Go down the mountain right now. The path is steep, but it only takes about 20 minutes to get to the bottom. Get to the town mayor immediately…" The armed man urged impatiently.
Qiao Baoer ran up to Zhu Xiaowei. She wanted to give Zhu Xiaowei the steel knife she had been hiding before as a backup. When she lowered her head and reached for the steel knife at her waist, Zhu Xiaowei, who was standing opposite her, suddenly looked terrified.
"Joe, Joe Bao'er, look at that..." Xiao Zhu trembled finger, looked toward the mountain peak.
At that very moment, the earth shook violently.
The crowd screamed and ran in panic.
A deafening roar echoed through the air, the mountain shook violently beneath their feet, and an avalanche of snow came crashing down upon them. There was nowhere to escape as it swept across the landscape with the force of a raging waterfall, burying everything in its path.
The two flashlights illuminating the scene fell to the ground, reflecting the chaotic footprints in the white snow. They all scrambled around in panic, shoving and pushing each other; someone fell and cried out in pain. Everyone looked terrified.
Xia Chui Xue hugged Pei Yi and tumbled in the snow. She was terrified, prostrated on the ground, her legs trembling so badly she couldn't stand up.
Looking up in terror at the avalanche rushing towards them, "Ah----”
"Little Zhu, run! Don't look back, just keep running to the right!"
At the critical moment, Qiao Baoer was the first to see Pei Yi sitting slumped in the snow. The little guy had forgotten to cry and was completely stunned by fright. He shouted at Zhu Xiaowei.
"I'm going to find Pei Yi, Xiao Zhu don't look back, I can't take care of all of you, you run!"
The avalanche shook the entire mountain, swallowing everything in its path. Screams and panicked shouts were drowned out as everyone was buried alive...er."Why...why did you fall in love with a woman like Qiao Baier"Ye Wei's voice trailed off, her tone reluctant to admit it. After a moment of thought, she found it rather amusing. It seemed they were...
