OBS Chapter 84 Blizzard
Chapter 84 Blizzard
After Qingyin finished speaking, she patted Mochen's shoulder, got up and left. Watching his mother's departing figure, Mochen felt a little lost. This was the care he had longed for the most, but now it left him feeling helpless.
He didn't know whether he should believe his mother's words, or whether his mother was afraid that he would hurt Mo Xuan again, so she chose to deceive him.
Holding the bowl of still-hot medicine, Mo Chen stood there in a daze for a long time, until the medicine had completely cooled down, before he finally reacted and drank it down!
On the other side, Lu Jinyan and her entourage were struggling to move forward in their carriage. Yuan Yi carefully drove the carriage while shouting, "Miss, the snow is getting heavier and heavier. It might be very dangerous to continue!"
Upon hearing Yuan Yi's words, Lu Jinyan reached out and lifted the carriage curtain. A chilling cold wafted out. Lu Jinyan glanced at the situation outside and asked, "How far are we from the nearest place to stay?"
"At the current speed, it will probably take another two or three hours!" Yuan Yi replied while struggling to control the carriage.
"It's too late. In this situation, we can only find a place to shelter from the wind and snow! We can continue our journey when the wind and snow subside! It's too dangerous to keep going like this! See if there are any caves or dilapidated temples or anything like that nearby, so we can go in and take shelter." Lu Jinyan lowered the curtain and sighed. Plans can't keep up with changes.
Their original plan was to reach the town today, rest there for a day, and then continue their journey. However, it started snowing halfway through the journey, and the snow got heavier and heavier. Traveling in a blizzard is not a good thing.
"Yes, Miss!" Yuan Yi replied and drove the carriage more carefully. Du Che also got out of the carriage and sat next to Yuan Yi, helping to look around and try to find a suitable place for them to take shelter from the wind and snow.
Lu Jinyan closed her eyes, entered the space with her consciousness, opened the map provided by the system, looked at her current location, and then zoomed in on the surrounding area, trying to find a place where she could take shelter from the wind and snow.
The map she held was very similar to the one Yuan Yi and the others had, except that hers was more detailed and could be zoomed in and out for easier viewing.
Unfortunately, with the heavy snow, the map, even when updated in real time, is just a vast expanse of white, making it impossible to see anything. Lu Jinyan sighed. The system had said the map was incredibly clear, showing exactly where the big trees and dilapidated houses were, but what happened?
Didn't that dungeon at the Wang family's house not show up back then? I guess she's been tricked by that little system trickster again.
Yuan Yi found a place that looked relatively safe, stopped the carriage, and then lifted the curtain and climbed inside.
“Miss, the snow outside is falling heavier and heavier, and we can’t see things clearly in the distance. This can’t go on. You and the second young lady wait in the car. I’ll take Du Che out to see if there’s a place nearby where we can take temporary shelter.”
"Okay, thank you for your hard work. Don't go too far. If you really can't find it, come back. Safety is the most important thing!" Lu Jinyan handed over a cup of hot tea, which Yuan Yi took and drank. Then he took Du Che and went out together.
The remaining few people huddled in the carriage to wait for news. About half an hour later, Yuan Yi returned with Du Che, their heads covered in snow.
"Miss, we've searched the area around here, but we haven't found a place to camp. Why don't you wait a bit longer, and we'll go a little further out to look?" Yuan Yi shook the snow off his clothes. This awful weather, it starts snowing so suddenly, and it's snowing so heavily.
"Alright, you guys come up here and warm up first, don't get cold. Rest for a while and see if the snow will lessen."
Seeing that their noses were red from the cold, Lu Jinyan quickly invited them to get into the carriage to warm up.
The group huddled in the carriage for a long time, watching as the snow fell heavier and heavier with no sign of stopping. Lu Jinyan grew anxious; if they couldn't find a place to rest, at this rate of snowfall, they could very well be buried.
Everyone knew the seriousness of the situation and was very anxious.
"Miss, we can't just wait like this. This snow isn't going to stop anytime soon. Let's keep walking!" Yuan Yi's forehead veins were bulging. They couldn't stay where they were.
"Okay, then be careful and go slowly. If you really can't walk anymore, stop and we'll think of another way!" Lu Jinyan nodded in agreement; that was all they could do now.
"Yes, Miss! Don't worry, Miss!" Yuan Yi didn't hesitate and went out to continue driving. Fortunately, they were traveling on the official road. Although there was a lot of snow on the road, it was still quite wide, and as long as they were careful, they could still walk on it.
The carriage continued on the road, but it moved as slowly as if crawling. The road was too slippery, and Yuan Yi dared not drive too fast, so he could only move forward slowly.
After traveling for about 15 minutes, Yuan Yi's carriage stopped again.
"Miss, there are people ahead!"
"Someone's here?" Upon hearing that someone was there, Lu Jinyan immediately lifted the carriage curtain. It's no wonder she was so excited. With the heavy snow falling, the presence of someone meant there was a place nearby where they could rest.
However, when Lu Jinyan lifted the curtain and saw the person not far away, she was clearly stunned for a moment. A woman?
With such heavy snow, how could a woman be here?
"Quickly, drive the carriage over there; she might know where we can rest!" Lu Jinyan hurriedly urged Yuan Yi to follow.
This wasn't just her making things up; the woman was carrying a small basket on her back, and it looked like she was carrying something inside. Given the heavy snow and her attire, she must have lived in the neighborhood.
"Yes, Miss!" Yuan Yi nodded, a look of joy on his face. Miss was right; since there were people around, there was a place to stay.
The carriage started moving again. As if hearing the noise behind them, the woman in white with a basket on her back stopped and turned around to look at Lu Jinyan and the others with a surprised expression.
"Whoa!!!" As Yuan Yi stopped the carriage again, Lu Jinyan finally got a clear look at the person in front of her. How to put it, her first impression was that of the kind of pitiful beauty in TV dramas. It was the kind of feeling that you wanted to pamper, cherish, and protect as soon as you saw her.
The woman was very beautiful, with willow-leaf eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes. Her long eyelashes were covered with snowflakes, and her face and nose were red from the cold.
She looked rather thin and was dressed very lightly. She carried a large bamboo basket on her back, which was covered with a cloth and covered with a layer of snow, so it was impossible to see what was inside. But it looked like there was quite a lot of stuff.
