Chapter 8: The Missing Guest (1)

Hua Xiaoen had a dream in which he saw that his entire body was immersed in snow water, which was cold and biting, and he was trembling but unable to move. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

He struggled hard, but his body was as heavy as a thousand pounds, and no matter how hard he tried, his body only sank deeper and deeper in the icy water.

Not far from him, the red-robed girl stood there silently, looking at him indifferently with her gray eyes, she did not come forward to help him, but turned around coldly and slowly left.

Hua Xiaoen stretched out his hand towards the red back figure that was fading away, and his fingers passed through the red and cold figure, but he couldn't find anything.

In the silent dream, the red figure gradually disappeared into the snow, leaving him struggling in vain.

"Don't go!" Hua Xiaoen screamed, and the person woke up from the couch suddenly.

Hua Xiaoen raised his head and rubbed his eyes, and found that the sky was already bright, and the candlestick on the desk had already burned out.

"It's dawn." Hua Xiaoen didn't know when he fell asleep, and he slept until dawn, rubbing his numb arm while looking at the bed.

It's okay not to look at it, but this look scares him out of half his life.

There was nothing on the bed except the quilt, Hua Xiaoen turned the quilt upside down in disbelief, and even lay on the ground to look at the bottom of the bed, but still didn't see the person who was still dying on the bed yesterday.

"Grandpa!" Hua Xiaoen screamed. "Miss Bai is gone!"

When Grandpa ran over, he found that not only was the person missing, but also the dagger on the table.

Hua Xiaoen picked up the shoes on the ground from the side of the bed, ran to his grandfather, and said, "Grandpa, the shoes are still there, why are they gone?" Will it be taken away by something? ”

Miss Bai is so weak, she shouldn't have run out in the middle of the night, and she didn't wear any shoes, she must have been taken away by something. Hua Xiaoen couldn't help but think of the stories when she was a child, when adults scared children into saying disobedient children who would be taken away by wolves in the middle of the night.

Grandpa looked at the shoes in Hua Xiaoen's hand, frowned, and said to Hua Xiaoen: "You take the shoes, let's go out and have a look, the snow stopped in the middle of the night last night, if someone goes out, there should be footprints." ”

Hua Xiaoen carried her shoes, and she couldn't care about the soreness caused by sleeping on her stomach all night, so she followed her grandfather downstairs with her feet.

It's just dawning now, and in this winter, the people in the village haven't gotten up yet, and even if they do, they haven't gone out yet, so the footprints in the snow are very clear.

The two walked downstairs and saw a string of very small footprints in the yard, which were a little smaller than Hua Xiaoen's footprints, and it was obvious that this was Miss Bai's footprints.

"Didn't she get taken away and walk out on her own?" Hua Xiaoen couldn't believe what he found in front of him.

But on this snowy day, why didn't she even wear shoes? It's going to freeze to death!

Grandpa didn't say anything, took his fur coat, and the two followed the footprints together.

A series of small footprints stretched in the direction of the twilight snow-capped mountain, and the grandfather and grandson couldn't help but move their eyes to the peak of the snow-capped mountain that was covered with snow all year round.

The snow stopped in the middle of the night last night, and today only the wind blew, and the soft and unfrozen snow on the ground was swept up by the wind, and the white snowflakes, bits and pieces, were blown up and down by the wind, and were blown up again, back and forth, like a lost lamb, unable to find a place to stop.

The white light of the snow was very dazzling, Hua Xiaoen was hungry, cold and hot, and her eyes were also stabbed by the light.

He tugged at his underwear, because he was walking in the snow, the sweat soaked his clothes and then dried them by the cold wind, and the clothes on his body were like ice cubes, cold and biting.

"Grandpa, why did she go to the Snow Mountain?" Hua Xiaoen gasped and couldn't help asking.

Where they passed, there were some footprints where the snow was badly damaged, and from the traces, it was the people who walked that had fallen, only to get up again and continue on their way.

Hua Xiaoen really couldn't understand why Miss Bai didn't even wear shoes by herself in the middle of the night, dragging her weak body and running to the twilight snow mountain? This winter, aren't you looking for death......

Die......

When Hua Xiaoen thought of this, the whole person seemed to be doused with ice water from head to toe.

Hunger strike, dropping the dagger next to the bed, and going out barefoot on a snowy night, all show that this Miss Bai family wants to end her life at all.

Those lifeless gray eyes also revealed that she had no desire to live at all.

The small footprints were getting blurred, probably because the snow had stopped in the village, but it hadn't stopped so early on the snowy mountains.

Hua Xiaoen stopped, and couldn't help but ask his grandfather, who had been frowning and silent, "Grandpa, why does Miss Bai think so much?" ”

Hearing Hua Xiaoen's words, Grandpa Hua, who had been burying his head in the front, finally stopped and looked back at Hua Xiaoen.

At this time, Hua Xiaoen's image was very embarrassed, his hair was messy, some of his hair was stained with water somewhere, and it had become freezing, his forehead was sweating, but his lips were white.

Grandpa Hua looked at the top of the endless snow-capped mountain, looked back at Hua Xiaoen, and said, "Xiaoen, you go back first, grandpa will go and find Miss Bai back." ”

Hua Xiaoen pursed his lips and shook his head, he didn't want to give up looking, he just wanted to know an answer. But Grandpa avoided talking about Miss Bai's affairs.

Why is that? His heart was about to be suffocated, he just wanted to know the truth, but Miss Bai didn't say a word, and grandpa was like this, not saying a word about the whole thing!

"Xiao En!" Seeing Hua Xiaoen continue to move forward, Grandpa raised his voice, "You go back!" ”

He didn't want to put his grandson in it.

"I'm not going back! Miss Bai was lost by me, I will definitely find her back! Hua Xiaoen was so firm in front of his grandfather for the first time, from childhood to adulthood, he acted according to his grandfather's words and deeds, and he took every word of his grandfather as a standard to practice.

But, this time, he didn't want to just go back.

If he goes back, then whether Miss Bai comes back or not, he will never know what happened to Miss Bai.

This matter will always be in his heart, like a fish in his throat for the rest of his life.

As Hua Xiaoen shouted with all his strength, a loud bang came from the top of the snowy mountain, and at the same time, both grandfather and grandson felt that the place where they were standing shook a few times.

Grandpa Hua hurriedly grabbed Hua Xiaoen and helped Hua Xiaoen stabilize his body, but fortunately, he was only shocked a few times and did not shake again.

When they stabilized, they looked up at the mountainside, where a thick snowflake was falling.

The grandfather and grandson looked at each other for a moment, and both understood what had just happened.

There was an avalanche on the mountainside!

If Miss Bai encounters an avalanche on that mountainside, it will be equivalent to certain death!

Hua Xiaoen rushed to the mountain like crazy, but was pulled back by Grandpa Hua.

Due to too much strength, Hua Xiaoen was suddenly thrown down on the snow by Grandpa Hua.
