The widowed sister-in-law is embarrassed, she criticizes the villain like he only wants to be a love

This mountain range connecting Xinyang Prefecture and Nanyang Prefecture is also a branch of the Qilian Mountains. The terrain becomes steeper as you go south. Yan Shu and Jiang Ci are deeply touched by this at this moment.

When they were fleeing from famine, they often traveled through the deep mountains. The slopes of the deep mountains on the Nanwei Prefecture side were relatively gentle, and the mountain roads were relatively easier to walk on, with few encounters of cliffs. However, the mountain range leading to Nanyang Prefecture was mostly snow-capped peaks with dangerous peaks.

Yan Shu was sitting in the carriage. At this moment, they were walking on a winding and rugged mountain road. The snow on the ground was mixed with a lot of gravel that had rolled down from the mountain. The higher the carriage went up the mountain, the more it shook. There was a cliff next to the mountain road. What worried her even more was that there was thick snow piled up on the mountain above. Avalanches were very likely to occur in such a harsh environment.

Jiang Ci also thought of this, and ordered the shadow guards to speed up the process as much as possible while ensuring safety, and try to reach a relatively flat place on the top of the mountain to stay overnight before dark.

However, the thing they were most worried about happened. Late in the evening, all the horses in the team suddenly became anxious. They even began to disobey people's instructions and started to gallop rapidly along the steep mountain road.

The carriage was shaking violently. Yan Shu held on to the door and window tightly with one hand and looked towards Jiang Ci.

"Animals are more sensitive than us. They... they must have sensed that there is danger around them."

Jiang Ci looked outside with a serious expression. The subordinates leading the way in front were trying to control their mounts, but all the horses were running forward like crazy, and some were even rushing towards the cliff. Seeing that they were powerless to stop the horses, the shadow guards could only fly away before the horses rushed towards the cliff.

At this time, the driver shouted loudly: "Master, all our horses are out of control, you and Miss Yan quickly find a way to leave here."

While shouting into the carriage, the coachman tried to stop the frenzied horse, but the horse seemed to be crazy and kept rushing forward no matter how hard the whip hit it.

Jiang Ci's heart sank and he looked up at the snow on the mountain wall.

"This is like a precursor to an avalanche."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud "bang!" from behind the convoy. An avalanche occurred on the road the convoy had just passed. A large area of ​​snow on the mountain wall mixed with large and small rocks rushed down towards the mountain road. When it hit the ground, it was like a surging dragon that plunged into the sea, splashing thousands of waves. The surroundings were instantly filled with white mist.

"Boom!"

The loud noises came closer and closer to them, and the snow on the mountain wall kept collapsing like dominoes.

"Be careful!" When Yan Shu reached out to grab Jiang Ci, the other party rushed to her first.

At the moment before the carriage fell off the cliff, Yan Shu was ready to take Jiang Ci into the space, and Jiang Ci held Yan Shu's waist with one hand, and suddenly swung his other hand towards the carriage. A powerful cyclone instantly shattered the carriage, and then Jiang Ci took Yan Shu and flew away from danger.

Shadow Four, Shadow Seven and several Shadow Guards turned their horses around and galloped towards Yan Shu and Jiang Ci.

"Master, I found a cave ahead. The snow on the mountain wall will continue to collapse. Let's go to the cave over there to take shelter for a while."

Ying Si gave his horse to Jiang Ci. He was the best in lightness skills among the shadow guards and could easily keep up with the team with the help of lightness skills.

Jiang Ci climbed onto his horse and pulled Yan Shu to sit in front of him. The cold wind was howling in the mountains, and Jiang Ci used his silver fox cloak to tightly protect the woman in his arms.

Seeing that Yan Shu hadn't said anything, Jiang Ci leaned over to her ear and asked.

"But you're scared?"

Yan Shu shook his head: "I believe in your ability."

She believed that Jiang Ci would use his life to protect her when facing a life-and-death moment, so she did not use space to dodge just now.

Jiang Ci's lips curled up slightly: "I didn't know that my sister-in-law trusted me so much. I am really honored."

Many past memories flashed through Yan Shu's mind, from how they joined hands to fight back when Jiang Ci was being chased by an assassin, to how they relied on each other when they were attacked by bandits and refugees on the way to escape, to how they shared hardships when facing the zombies and the Gu King together in Rong Cheng, and to how they risked their lives to save each other when they were kidnapped by Wuji Yaodao and Yuan An at the border of Northern Frontier.

Come to think of it, they've faced numerous life-and-death experiences in the nearly three years since they've known each other, and they've always trusted each other and stuck together through thick and thin.

Yan Shu firmly believed that no matter where he was in the future, she would remember everything they had experienced together.

The cave was only a few hundred meters away from the avalanche wall.

Jiang Ci looked around. The terrain of this cave was a protruding piece, which happened to be at the corner of the mountain road. The protruding mountain wall above formed a natural triangular area. If you hide in the cave, even if an avalanche occurs on the mountain wall, the accumulated snow and debris will only rush to the bottomless cliff in an instant, and the road outside the cave will not be affected too much.

For them, this cave is indeed the best hiding place to avoid avalanches, but it also has its disadvantages.

If they spend the night in the cave, the snow falling off the mountain wall will block the mountain road ahead. If they want to pass through, they must clear the snow accumulated on the mountain road, which will undoubtedly delay the time to get out of the mountain.

"Master, our people have been evacuated safely, but thirteen horses were frightened and rushed down the cliff. The cave is barely big enough to accommodate us. Most of the luggage has been moved in, so we can only let the horses go back to the wild."

Jiang Ci glanced into the cave and saw Yan Shu busy treating the wounds of the injured.

"The problem with the horses can only be solved after we get down the mountain. Let's get everyone into the cave. The snow on the mountain is in danger of collapse at any time. Let's try not to leave the cave tonight."

"Yes!"

Only after Yan Shu treated the last injured person did he have time to check the situation in the cave.

At this moment, snow was constantly collapsing outside the cave, and the rumbling sound was like an earthquake. People hiding in the cave could feel the strong tremor.

The mountain road was blocked by accumulated snow, and there was no chance to find some dry firewood in the nearby mountains. Some people were so hungry that they could only use hard dry food to fill their stomachs.

Yan Shu handed the water bag to Jiang Ci and said, "Share it with everyone."

Jiang Ci looked at Yan Shu and said, "You didn't bring much water, so you should keep it for yourself."

Ying Qi said, "Miss Yan, the master is right. We are all martial artists with strong bodies. If we are thirsty, we can just go outside and eat a handful of snow. You are a girl with a delicate body, so you should keep this clean water for yourself."

Yan Shu forced the water bag into Jiang Ci's arms and said, "There is nothing in this cave, and we can't make a fire to cook right now. I added some sugar to the water. Everyone, drink a little to supplement the sugar to resist hunger. Oh, I have some snacks here, share them with everyone."

After saying this, Yan Shu took out a few packets of snacks wrapped in butter paper from his floral bag and handed them to Jiang Ci.

Jiang Ci frowned slightly: "Let's share this water with everyone. We still have a few days of mountain walking to go. You can keep the snacks for yourself."

"I still have some. One person can't eat so much. When we get to a safe place, we can still hunt to fill our stomachs. The most important thing is to hold on together for now."

Seeing Yan Shu's firm attitude, Jiang Ci could only give the snacks and water bag to Ying Qi.

"Let's share it with everyone."

Ying Qi looked at his master in embarrassment.

Jiang Ci said: "This is her sincere intention."

"Yes, thank you Miss Yan."

Ying Qi thanked Yan Shu, and let everyone take turns drinking some water from the water bag, and each person was given two pieces of dessert.

The cave was pitch black, and no one could see clearly what the snacks in their hands were. After they put them into their mouths and chewed them, they were surprised to find that there was meat inside.

The snacks were made by Yan Shu herself before she left Xinyang Prefecture. The pickled mustard greens cakes were made with dried mustard greens that she dried herself and minced meat as the filling. After being baked in the oven, they were crispy on the outside and fragrant on the inside. Eating desserts all the time would make one sick of it, so she prepared some more salty snacks. Unexpectedly, they came in handy when they encountered an avalanche today.

After chewing on the hard dry food, everyone ate the preserved vegetable and meat pie, which had a great impact on the taste buds.

Jiang Ci took it in his hand and took a look: "Did you make this yourself?"

Yan Shu nodded: "Try it."

Jiang Ci took a bite. He didn’t really eat desserts, but this salty dessert was more to his taste.

"good to eat."

He took a piece out of the paper bag and handed it to Yan Shu. Yan Shu smiled, took it and started eating happily.

Jiang Ci only ate two pieces and returned them to Yan Shu.

Yan Shu looked at him: "Why are you eating so little? Aren't you hungry?"

"I'm not that hungry right now, so you can keep the remaining snacks for yourself."

Yan Shu frowned slightly. Jiang Ci lived and ate with her, and his appetite was not small. She was starving at this time, so how could he not be hungry?

She took out two pieces from the paper bag, and there were seven or eight pieces left in the bag, and gave them to Jiang Ci.

"I'll only have two more pieces. The rest is up to you. If you refuse to eat them, it means the snacks I made are too bad."

Jiang Ci chuckled without commenting. He was indeed a little hungry, but a martial artist would not be affected too much even if he skipped a few meals, so he wanted to save all the snacks for her.

But she seemed to want him to eat more.

In order not to reject her kindness, Jiang Ci finished the remaining snacks. Yan Shu smiled with satisfaction and took the initiative to hand him the bamboo tube.

"Drink of water."
