"Hmm......"

Chu Yue opened her eyes in a daze and saw the snow-white ground in front of her.

Letting go of the vine starling in his arms, Chu Yue sat up from the ground.

I looked left and right, and all of my vision was snow-white.

Looking back at the hill where I slid down with the vine starling, it was impossible to climb up this terrible slope......

Moreover, Chu Yue remembered that she had hit the iron fence of the ski resort halfway, and now that she looked at it, she couldn't see it at all.

That is, it is not known how far it is from the ski slopes.

"Alas......" Chu Yue sighed, she didn't expect this kind of thing to happen.

Seeing that the vine starling hadn't woken up yet, Chu Yue helped the vine starling, and then shook the vine starling's shoulder, "Starling!" Wake up! Starling! Wake up! ”

"Hmm...... Yes! The vine starling also gradually opened his eyes, and when he saw Chu Yue, he cried out in surprise.

"Are you alright?" Chu Yue asked.

"Me?" Fuji Lin Starling did not answer Chu Yue, but remembered what happened before the two of them fell unconscious, and lowered his head.

"Move your body, you've been in the snow for so long and you haven't been frostbitten, right?" Chu Yue said as she stood up and stretched out her hand towards the vine starling.

"......" looked at Chu Yue's outstretched hand, Fuji Lin Starling lowered his head again, and then, sobbing, "Yes, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Chu Yue, Chu Yue...... I, I ......"

"Alright, it's okay." Chu Yue squatted down and wiped away her tears for the vine starling, "Starling, don't cry." ”

"I'm sorry, woo woo, Chu Yue, yes, I'm sorry, woo woo woo woo ......" Fuji Lin starling seemed to have a tendency to cry.

Suddenly, Chu Yue held the face of the vine starling with both hands: "Starling, look at me!" ”

Being held by Chu Yue, Fuji Lin Starling saw Chu Yue's calm expression.

An inexplicable sense of peace of mind suddenly rose from the bottom of my heart, and the emotions that had caused me to cry instantly settled down.

"If you cry in winter, you may get frostbite because you can't wipe off your tears." Chu Yue said to the vine starling, "And...... In our current situation, crying will not solve the problem. ”

"Hmm......" Fuji Lin Starling held back his tears and nodded in Chu Yue's hand.

Chu Yue let go of the vine starling, and then said, "Let's stand up and move your body first." ”

"Hmm." Fujibayashi starling nodded, and also stood up from the ground.

After moving his body for a while, the starling didn't feel anything wrong.

Suddenly, the starling noticed the hillside where the two of them were rolling down.

It's so steep......

Yourself, it's all right?

Yes! When he rolled down, it was Chu Yue who was holding him all the time!

Tenglin Starling was moved for a while, looked at Chu Yue, and just found that Chu Yue was also moving his body, but his movements didn't seem to be so natural......

"Chu Yue! You, how are you? Fujibayashi Starling immediately asked with concern.

When she moved her body, Chu Yue felt that her whole body was hurting!

Holding a person to roll down such a high and steep hill, even if it is a strengthened body, it is impossible to be completely fine......

"It hurts, but it's okay." Chu Yue replied to the vine forest starling.

"All, it's all my fault......" Fujilin Starling said, "I'm sorry, Chu Yue ......"

"Well, now is not the time to apologize." Chu Yue said, "We have to find our way back quickly." ”

"The way back...... "Fuji Lin starling also looked left and right, but all he could see was snow.

"Here...... Where is it? Fujibayashi starling couldn't help but ask.

"I don't know." Chu Yue said, "We rolled down from this direction, which means that the ski resort is on this side......"

"But......" The starling looked at the steep hillside, "this, we won't be able to climb up......"

"yes." Chu Yue said, "I can only find another way." ”

"Ah, is there a way?" Fujibayashi Starling asked with an innocent expression.

"The way is made by man." Chu Yue said to the vine starling, "Even if there is no road, we have to get out of one, otherwise, we are afraid that we will be trapped and die here." ”

"Ahh Fujibayashi starling's mouth grew in surprise.

"Don't think it's impossible, on the contrary, it's very likely." Chu Yue said solemnly to the vine starling, "The weather is ...... now It's not evening yet, when do you think the teachers will find out that we are gone? ”

"Probably, soon?" Fujibayashi starling said.

"It should be at the end of the meal, and at first, it doesn't necessarily think that we are trapped, but that we are playing and losing track of time."

"If we don't show up when we meet in the evening, then everyone probably knows we're lost." Chu Yue said, "But at that time, it was already night, how do you think you should search and rescue at night?" ”

"I'm afraid the real search and rescue operation will not be until tomorrow morning."

"Xishan is so big, how do you think you should carry out a search and rescue operation?" Chu Yue said, "Start the search around the ski resort, this may be a key area, but ......"

"Look around here, it's all snow, such a big snow-capped mountain, will it be so easy to find two villains like us?"

"What's more, this hasn't encountered a bad situation like a blizzard or avalanche." Chu Yue said, "If there is a blizzard next, I think we will freeze to death overnight." ”

"Then, aren't we dead?!" The vine starling was frightened and motionless.

"So, more importantly, we have to save ourselves." Chu Yue said.

"Why, how can you save yourself......" said Fujibayashi Starling.

"It depends." Chu Yue said, "But, first of all, the most important thing is not to panic and stay calm. ”

Thinking of his gaffe at the beginning, Fujibayashi starling blushed a little.

"Well, we're ...... now," Fujibayashi said.

"Let's check the direction." Chu Yue said.

"How, how do you know it......" Fujibayashi Starling asked.

He looked back at the starlings and said, "This is really, a wilderness survival lesson that I have experienced." ”

Although Chu Yue made a joke, Fujilin Starling didn't laugh at all.

"The easiest way." Chu Yue said, "The sun rises in the east and sets in the west. ”

Fujilin starling immediately looked at the sun that was about to set, and then knew the direction.

"We don't know how big the West Mountain is or where we are now, so we can only walk around the hill first." Chu Yue said, "Perhaps, I will go around to the front of the mountain and find my way to the mountain." ”

"Uh-huh......" Fujibayashi starling nodded.

"Alright, let's go." Chu Yue said.

"Hmm." The vine starling nodded, and walked around the hillside with Chu Yue.

……

The sun was about to set, and it was almost time for dinner.

Many of the students who had already spent the day at the ski resort were already resting in the rest area.

"Have you found Chu Yue and Starling?" Fujibayashi asked the dream of the evil spirit, who also came to the resting place.

Scourge Dreaming shook her head, "I think they may be in danger. ”

"Huh?" Fujilin Xing was stunned, "What, what danger?" ”

"Lost." Calamity said, "I have this premonition......"

"Then, hurry up and inform the teacher!" After Fujibayashi finished speaking, she turned around and wanted to run to find the teacher.

However, after running two steps, he found that the Dream of Calamity was not with him.

"Reimu-chan?" Fujibayashi Xing walked to the side of the Evil Spirit Dream, "Let's hurry up and find the teacher!" ”

"......" Scourge Dreamer lowered her head and didn't speak.

"Reimu-chan? You, are you alright? Fujibayashi finally noticed that Misfortune Dream's face didn't seem to be very good.

"There you go." "I feel a little uncomfortable......

"Hmm...... Then you have a good rest. After Fujibayashi finished speaking, she turned around and ran to find Aoki Kokoko.

Soon, Fujibayashi found Kokoro Aoki.

"What?! Haven't found a rattan starling yet? And Chu Yue is gone?! Aoki said in surprise.

"Hmmm! Teacher, hurry up and find them! Fujibayashi said.

"Hmm...... Really, these two bear kids. Aoki Shin said, "I told you not to run around......

"Aoki-sensei......"

"Well, I'll go find them now." Aoki Shin said.

"I'll go too!" Fujibayashi said.

"Well, let's go together." Aoki Kokoro said as she walked, "By the way, why didn't you see the girl who has been with you all this day?" ”

"It's a calamity, isn't it? Scourge Dream, she said she was a little uncomfortable, so she went to rest. Fuji Lin Xing said, "Moreover, she told me that something happened to Xiao Starling and Chu Yue." ”

"Really......" Aoki stopped talking and walked quickly to the service desk of the ski resort.

After explaining the situation to the staff at the service desk, Aoki Shin said, "Well, let's go and look for it first." ”

"Well, move quickly." The staff looked at the gloomy weather outside and said, "The weather forecast says there may be heavy snow tonight...... So, come back before the evening. ”

Fujibayashi, who was originally anxious, was suddenly stunned when she heard the staff's words.

Heavy snow?! Tonight!?

Fujibayashi immediately felt the urgency of time, and without waiting for Aoki Koko, she ran directly outside.

"Fujibayashi-san! You wait for me! Aoki Shin shouted Fujibayashi Xing and chased after him.

When it was time for dinner, the students had another meeting after dinner, but they didn't find Ms. Aoki Kokoro.

It didn't take long for Kokoro Aoki to come back from outside, and there were still some snowflakes on her body.

I don't know when, but a light snow has begun to fall outside.

"Students!" Aoki said, "I have something very serious to say. ”

Tell the students about Chu Yue and the vine starlings going missing, and then explain that he wants the classmates to help find them.

However, it was already close to night, otherwise it would not have been snowing outside and I would not have paid attention.

"But be safe!" Aoki said, "In an hour, whether or not you find someone, you have to come back here!" ”

After the students agreed, they scattered and went out to look for Chu Yue and the vine starling.

……

The sky darkened, but the scenery in front of Chu Yue and the vine starling did not change at all.

It's still white snow, and there's still a steep slope on one side.

It's said to be walking around the slopes, but it doesn't seem to be of much use right now.

What's more, it's snowing.

"Oh no......" Chu Yue said.

"Chu Yue...... I'm going to be fine...... we're going to be fine," said Fujibayashi Starling, a little scared.

"No, we'll be safe, rest assured." Chu Yue still had a calm expression, comforting the vine starling.

There were several times when the vine starling wanted to simply give up moving forward, so he stayed where he was and waited for rescue, but when he saw Chu Yue's calm expression, he had the strength to move forward again.

If there is no Chu Yue, if you are alone...... Fujilin starling didn't dare to think about it anymore.

However......

The speed of this heavy snow is beyond anyone's imagination.

In less than an hour, most of the students had already returned because the snow was so heavy.

An hour later, Kokoro Aoki and Apricot Fujibayashi also returned.

"No more! The snow is too big! Can't go out again! The staff at the ski resort said, "If you go out again, even the rescuers may be in danger!" ”

"No! I've got to find the starling! Fujibayashi Xing gritted her teeth, turned around and ran outside.

"Come back!" Aoki Kokoro turned around and took Fujibayashi Starling's hand directly.

"Aoki-sensei! You let go of me! Fujibayashi said with a crying voice.

"Calm down, Apricot Fujibayashi!" Aoki said, "We've been looking for a long time, and even if you look for it alone, you won't find any results!" And you may even be in danger yourself! ”

"So, are we going to wait here?" Fujibayashi was about to cry.

"Anyway, I can't go out again tonight!" "Tomorrow, when the snow has lightened, we will immediately contact the police to launch a rescue operation!" ”

"But, it's a starling, a starling, she ......!" Fujilin Xing wanted to say something, but when the words came to her mouth, she choked up and cried.

"It's okay, it's okay." Aoki Xin hugged Fujibayashi Xing in her arms, "Isn't she with Chu Yue?" Even if you are worried about your sister, isn't Chu Yue's classmate very sensible? With Chu Yue in the vine forest starling, it will be fine. ”

"That's right." At this time, the Scourge Dream walked over with a blank face.

"Spirit, Reimu ......," Fujibayashi said in a choked voice.

"They'll be fine." Calamity said.

"That...... Although that's what I said...... But Scourge Dream, your expression doesn't match your words at all......" one student complained.

But immediately the student next to the student covered his mouth......

"......" Scourge Dreaming stopped talking, and after a moment of silence, said, "I'm a little unwell, I'm going to my room to rest." ”

"Well, I'll take you with me." Aoki Shin said to everyone, "Originally, I planned to take everyone to the hotel to rest after dinner, but I didn't expect this to happen...... I'm sorry. ”

"It's okay teacher." Some students said.

"Hmm." Aoki nodded and took the students to the hotel.

Originally, because it was a shared dormitory, the inn provided two large rooms. However, Scourge said that he didn't want to be with everyone, so he opened a separate room.

Aoki Kokoro was busy helping the students prepare for the night, so he handed over the Fujibayashi Apricot to Misfortune Dream.

In the room, there are two beds.

Woe Lingmeng and Fujibayashi Xing lay on the same bed alone, neither of them saying a word.

It didn't take long for Fujibayashi to start crying.

As if she hadn't heard anything, she was still lying motionless on her bed.

Fujibayashi Xing kept crying, no one comforted her, and no one interrupted her, just crying.

Loneliness swept over Fuji Lin Xing, and the worry about her sister and Chu Yue made Fuji Lin Xing a little scared.

And the Scourge Dream, who has always been indifferent, didn't even search for it at all, and everything made Fujibayashi Xing feel terrified.

Such a night reminded Fujibayashi of the night when she suffered from acute appendicitis......

At that time, there was also the comfort of parents and sisters, and now...... It's all by yourself......

Fujibayashi kept crying.

In the midst of crying, I fell asleep unconsciously.

"Finally slept?" Woe Soul Dream looked at Fujibayashi Xing and said.

The negativity that I have been exuding has probably enveloped the entire hotel at this time......

And Fuji Lin Xing, who is next to him, is it better to fall asleep......

Calamity turned around, but she still felt very uncomfortable.

……

"Chu, Chu Yue...... I'm so cold......" Fujilin Starling said behind Chu Yue.

"......" Chu Yue stopped, and the vine starling that was following Chu Yue didn't pay attention at all, and crashed into Chu Yue's body in one fell swoop.

"Chu Yue?" The vine starling looked at Chu Yue strangely.

"We can't go any further." Chu Yue said.

"How?"

"It's too much snow." Chu Yue said, "Moreover, it's too late, let's leave tomorrow morning......

"Okay, good ......" Fujibayashi Xing shivered coldly.

Chu Yue took off her coat and draped it over the vine starling.

"Ahh Fuji Lin Starling wanted to say something, but was hugged by Chu Yue.

"Is it still cold?" Chu Yue asked.

Feeling a burst of warmth coming from his body, and the breath on Chu Yue's body, Fujilin Starling blushed, shook his head and said, "It's not cold......

"......" Chu Yue stopped talking. At this time, even Chu Yue was helpless.

If this heavy snow does not stop and there is no place to spend the night, the two of them will freeze to death here tonight......

Do you really want to use your own divine power?

At this time, Chu Yue suddenly noticed that in a place on the hillside, there seemed to be a large depression.

"Huh? There......" Chu Yue said.

"What's wrong, Chu Yue?" Although he was very embarrassed to be in Chu Yue's arms, the cold outside was really unbearable for the vine starling.

"There's something strange there." Chu Yue said, "I'll take a look." ”

"I, I'll go too!" Fujibayashi starling said.

The two of them crawled together towards the hollow.

After climbing to the place with difficulty, Chu Yue began to roar the snow.

"Chu Yue?" Holding Chu Yue's coat tightly with both hands, the vine starling looked at Chu Yue strangely.

Chu Yue shaved a few times, and all the snow on this piece suddenly fell-

It turned out that this was a cave, and because it had been snowing for too long, the snow outside covered the entrance to the cave.

"Great! Starling! Chu Yue said happily.

"Mountain, cave?" The vine starling was also a little surprised.

"Hmm." Chu Yue said, "Let's spend the night here." ”

"But......" Fujilin starling looked at the dark cave, "this, there is no danger, right?" ”

"It's more dangerous outside...... Chu Yue said, "If the snow doesn't stop, ......"

Fujibayashi starling swallowed.

"I'll go in first, you wait for me at the door." Chu Yue said to the vine starling, "If it's okay, I'll call you in, what if...... If it's dangerous, I'll tell you to run too. ”

"Then, let's go in together!" Fujibayashi Starling said with some concern.

"No, you don't." After Chu Yue finished speaking, she fell down and ran towards the cave.

"Chu Yue!" Fujilin starling screamed, trying to catch up, but looking at the dark hole, he became timid again.

It didn't take long for Chu Yue to shout at the vine starling at the entrance of the cave, "Come in!" Starling, it's safe here! ”

Although he was still a little scared, hearing Chu Yue's voice, the vine starling felt a lot more relieved.

Slowly walking into the cave with a little probing, the vine starling shouted at the same time: "Chu Yue, where are you?" Chu Yue ......"

"I'm here." Chu Yue's words made Fuji Lin feel more at ease, and continued, "I, I can't see it at all." ”

"Ah, you wait." Chu Yue's voice came from the darkness again.

Not long after, a match was suddenly lit, and by the light of the match, the vine starling saw Chu Yue's location and immediately ran towards Chu Yue.

"Don't pounce!" As soon as Chu Yue finished shouting, the vine starling had already pounced towards Chu Yue......

The match went out naturally.

"Great, great, Chu Yue ......," said Fujibayashi Starling.

"Uh......" Chu Yue hesitated, sighed, and said, "Uh...... Matches, extinguished ......"

"It's okay." Tenglin starling sat up, let go of Chu Yue and said, "With Chu Yue here, I won't be afraid." ”

"I originally wanted to make a fire with a match." Chu Yue explained, "Well, forget it." ”

"Make a fire? Is it here? Fujibayashi starling said strangely.

"Hmm." Chu Yue nodded, but in the dark, the vine starling couldn't see anything.

"But, Chu Yue, how can you have matches?" Fujilin starling asked strangely.

"Ah, I got it at the hotel." Chu Yue said.

"Hostel ?!!" Fuji Lin Starling said with some surprise, and immediately remembered the woman she saw chatting and eating with Chu Yue during the day today.

"Ah, I had dinner with an older sister today, and then that sister got drunk, so I sent her to the hotel" Chu Yue explained, "I saw that there were free matches sent in the hotel, so I brought them out." ”

"That sister?" Fuji Lin Starling asked with some concern.

"Hmm." Chu Yue said, "Suddenly they said they were going to invite me to lunch, it's so strange." However, after lunch, she got drunk herself, and I had to send her to the hotel. ”

"Then, you ......," said Fujibayashi Starling.

"You won't be ...... Thinking too much, right? Chu Yue said, "Except for what I said, nothing else happened to us." If you don't believe me, when we go back, you can ask the big sister! ”

Anyway, she wouldn't dare to say anything about her inviting me to drink! Because it's illegal for minors to drink alcohol!

Fuji Lin Starling blushed again, but in the darkness, Fuji Lin Starling felt that Chu Yue couldn't see either.

"Starling, are you supposed to be ...... I misunderstood this matter, so I gave the clothes to your sister and ran away, right? Chu Yue thought of something.

"Huh!? No, ah......" Fujibayashi starling tensed for a moment, and finally lowered his head and was silent for a while, saying, "I'm sorry......"

"That's really the case......" Chu Yue said.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry Chu Yue! Fujibayashi starling immediately apologized.

"It's okay, if you really want to apologize...... You should apologize to your sister, your sister is worried about you too much. Chu Yue said, "At this time, your sister must be more worried." ”

She must have been very worried when she thought of her sister and how she had left her with her clothes and rowed away by herself......

And now, his indiscriminate tantrum and willfulness have led to himself and Chu Yue now in this place, and they may even give their lives here......

Fujibayashi starling cried......

……

In the hotel at this time.

Eiko Takashiro walked out of the room bored, arrived at the door of the hotel, and asked the waiter, "Hasn't that little ghost come back yet?" ”

"Not yet." The waiter said.

Eiko Takajo remembered that she had seen other students walking around in the hallway, and asked, "Didn't that kid come with those students?" ”

"Huh?" The waiter looked at Eiko Takashiro strangely, "Isn't he your younger brother, coming with you?" ”

"Ah, yes." Eiko Takashiro immediately lied and said, "But, I came with him." He came with his classmates, and I came cheekily with him. ”

"That's right......," the waiter nodded, "Students, there are indeed a number of students who have come to stay at the hotel today, and they have already stayed there...... However, I didn't notice that one of the students was the boy...... Yes! Could it be that kid......"

"What? Which child? Eiko Takashiro looked strangely at the waitress with a big mouth.

"Yes, that's it......" said the waiter, "today, among those children, a boy and a girl got lost this afternoon, and they haven't been found yet, and the child may be ......."

Eiko Takajo was stunned.

Lost?! Chu Yue is lost?!

It's still snowing heavily, and if you get lost in this snowy mountain, won't your life be in danger?!

And at this time, a few students happened to come out.

"Ah, those kids belong to the student group." The waiter immediately said, "Guest, you can go and ask ......"

"Hey! Classmates over there! Eiko Takajo hurriedly stopped the students and asked, "What is the name of the boy you lost?" What does it look like? ”

Several students looked at each other and replied, "Boy, is it called Chu Yue?" When it looks like it...... The most conspicuous thing is the long black hair, right? ”

Eiko Takashiro seemed to hear a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and froze in place.

The iconic long-haired black boy whose name is Chu Yue......

That's what he's right!

Eiko Takashiro felt uncomfortable for a while.

The waiter on the side saw and heard the situation here, so he put down his work first, walked over and said, "Guest, are you okay?" ”

"I, I'm fine......" Eiko Takashiro said.

"Don't be in a hurry." The waiter said, "Your brother will be fine." The teacher has also contacted the police. ”

"Hmm......" Eiko Takajo waved her hand and turned to walk towards her room.

The waiter was a little strange, but he still had to work, so he had to go back to his place.

……

In a room in the hotel, Woe Lingmeng looked at the heavy snow outside the window, looked back at the sleeping Fujibayashi Xing, gritted his teeth unhappily, and clenched his fists.
