Chapter 250 Avalanche
Xue Yunting placed Duan Mingzhu on the snow. Duan Mingzhu's small face was fair with a rosy glow, her lips were pink, and even her clothes were pink.
She looks so beautiful! But beneath such exquisite makeup and fine clothes lies extreme paleness and a huge wound.
For her child, for their child, Duan Mingzhu acted without hesitation. Such immense courage and decisiveness resided within her small frame.
"...Yun Ting...with you by my side...I'm not afraid...Yun Ting...you must stay with me...always by my side...Yun Ting..."
Xue Yunting knew that Duan Mingzhu was actually afraid of loneliness and needed someone to accompany her. However, he spent very little time with Duan Mingzhu. First, he brought Duan Mingzhu back to run around, and later he entrusted Duan Mingzhu to Qin Jiu and did not return to Chongming Island for several months.
Xue Yunting lowered his head and gently kissed Duan Mingzhu's cheek: "I'm sorry, but it's okay. Mingzhu, I will always be with you, forever..."
Before Xue Yunting could finish speaking, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest and a slight dizziness. He shook his head and then felt a slight numbness in his hands that were holding Duan Mingzhu.
It couldn't be from being numb with cold, nor could it be from carrying a heavy load. Xue Yunting didn't panic. He withdrew his hands from Duan Mingzhu's support, and Duan Mingzhu sank little by little into the snow.
Xue Yunting gently brushed the snow off Duan Mingzhu's face: "I was the last person you used Gu on. Should I be proud? Mingzhu, I originally planned to stay with you, but I didn't expect that you would think I'm so untrustworthy."
Mingzhu, I've done as you wished and entrusted my child to my sister and brother-in-law. You're so clever and thoughtful; you surely knew they would treat the child well, right?
You don't want your child to lack a father and mother; you don't want to see your child without parental protection. Now you can rest assured, she has both parents. Your sister and brother-in-law are both very good people; you don't need to worry about your child being mistreated.
Duan Mingzhu in front of him began to appear as a double image. Xue Yunting looked up and saw a vast expanse of white snow, clean and pure.
Xue Yunting had always imagined his end would be covered in blood, dying to the sound of bugles, and being buried on the battlefield. He never expected it to be like this: quiet and clean!
A destiny completely different from his life trajectory was something he had never even imagined before, something he had never anticipated: How wonderful!
Xue Yunting thought to himself, "Fortunately, I'm not an only child, so my parents still have someone to rely on; fortunately, I helped Xu Sheng destroy Xiling, which means I haven't disgraced the Xue family's reputation as loyal generals for generations; fortunately, I had long since given up on Le Xi, so I haven't let anyone down..."
He has done everything he should and could do. Now it's time for him to spend time with his beloved and live forever in the long, cold years.
A voice seemed to drift from afar, filled with panic and anxiety. Xue Yunting didn't turn around, and said softly, "I'm fine. You don't need to look for me or worry about me."
Xue Yunting mustered the last of his strength and struck the year-round snow with both palms. After a moment of stunned silence, the snow reacted and surged towards them like a thousand horses on a battlefield.
Xue Yunting lay down next to Duan Mingzhu, closed his eyes, and a faint smile appeared on his face. He was welcoming death as if he were welcoming a new life.
Whether driven by loneliness or revenge, Duan Mingzhu's final curse was ultimately planted on Xue Yunting. Unexpected yet also inevitable. The fate of people is often predetermined from their very first encounter.
The three asked around, and a shepherd said he had indeed seen a young man go up the mountain about an hour ago.
As Xue Yunyao walked, she cupped her hands into a megaphone shape and called out, "Big brother, where are you? Big brother, can you hear me? Big brother..."
The sound echoed through the valley, making everyone's ears ring, but no one responded. Xue Yunyao's throat was dry from shouting, and suddenly she burst into tears.
Nianyao asked, "Why are you crying?"
Xue Yunyao wiped away her tears and said in a hoarse voice, "I don't know, I just felt..."
What did she feel? Xue Yunyao couldn't quite put her finger on it; it was probably a sudden surge of sorrow that couldn't be explained in words.
Le Xi became anxious and called out, "Brother Yun Ting, Yun Ting..."
Nianyao, with her sharp eyes, pointed to the opposite mountain peak and asked, "Is it him?"
From this distance, all you can see is a dark shadow in the white snow.
Xue Yunyao and Le Xi were staring wide-eyed in confirmation when they saw the black dot move. With a thunderous sound, a giant snowball surged toward the black shadow.
Xue Yunyao and Le Xi screamed at the same time:
"Big brother..."
“Yun Ting…”
Nianyao held her breath, her eyes wide open: So this was the legendary avalanche, the Snow God devouring everything in his rage, it was terrifying.
The three women watched helplessly as the dark figure was concealed in the snow and vanished in an instant. None of them recognized Xue Yunting, nor could they be sure whether the figure was human or something else, but the premonition and fear in their hearts were the same.
None of the three moved or uttered a sound; they just stood there, stunned, watching. Until a panting voice came from behind: "Yun Yao..."
The three of them turned around at the same time and saw Su Wuming leading a group of people over: "Yun Yao, where's your brother?"
Xue Yunyao suddenly lunged at him, punching and kicking him: "Why are you only coming now? I sent you a letter by express courier, and you're only arriving now... I thought you had everything arranged long ago, and that you would definitely send someone to stop my brother in Kunzhou..."
Su Wuming barely managed to stand, and seeing the expressions on Le Xi and Nian Yao's faces, his own expression changed: "Sister?"
Nianyao came over and pulled Xue Yunyao behind her, saying, "Stop hitting her."
Xue Yunyao burst into tears. Le Xi supported her, unsure how to comfort her.
Su Wuming asked anxiously, "Sister, how is Yunting?"
Nianyao pointed to the opposite side: "An avalanche has occurred there."
Su Wuming said, "The mountain is so big, Yun Ting might not be there. I've already sent people to search everywhere, and there are guards at the foot of the mountain. Le Xi, you take Yun Yao down the mountain first."
Xue Yunyao retorted, "I will not go down the mountain."
Nianyao also said, "Lexi, you take Yunyao down the mountain first. If we find Yunting, we will meet up with you as soon as possible. If you see Yunting down the mountain, please let me know immediately."
For some reason, Xue Yunyao felt a bit wary of Nianyao. Although she was unwilling, she still followed Lexi down the mountain.
Su Wuming sent two people to escort Xue Yunyao and Le Xi down the mountain. Only after their figures disappeared from sight did Su Wuming turn around and say, "Sister, Yunting really..."
"I don't know," Nianyao replied somewhat coldly. "Shouldn't you be very well-informed about Chongming Island?"
Su Wuming was slightly taken aback: "It is well-connected, but not so timely. The brothers will regularly send letters to Qinzhou through Magistrate Jiang. I only came here four days ago after receiving Yun Ting's handwritten letter."
Nianyao looked Su Wuming up and down, seeing that he did indeed look travel-worn, and softened her tone slightly: "You must have had a hard time traveling here from Qinzhou in four days, Lord Su."
