The snow on the mountain was very thick, and Gu Qingyu followed the route planned by Yang Shucai and Xu Jinchuan to search.

Yang Shucai knew that Gu Qingyu knew the Jiang siblings, so he led the way forward and asked, "Comrade Gu, do you know much about the Jiang siblings?"

"We haven't had much contact, but from my previous experience with the Jiang brothers and sisters, neither of them is particularly bold or reckless."

"So Chen Mingzhu said it was strange that these two people followed Ma Bohu in the freezing cold?"

Xu Jinchuan, who was standing by, asked curiously, "Do you know each other?"

"Yes, my stepfather's nephews and nieces!" Gu Qingyu replied indifferently.

At first, she was surprised to hear that the Jiang brothers and sisters were missing, but later she realized that the Jiang family had placed these two people here so that she could be taken care of nearby.

Gu Qingyu didn't feel much now that he knew about it. Looking at the Jiang family's current actions, it showed that they had stronger connections in Xinhu. Gu Qingyu was just being closer to them as an extra insurance.

After walking for more than two hours and still finding nothing, Gu Qingyu and the other two found a tall tree to lean against and rest for a while.

At this moment, a gunshot was suddenly heard, and Gu Qingyu was so scared that he stood up straight and looked towards the place where the gunshot came from.

The people who were resting in groups around were a little confused for a moment, not knowing what had happened.

"what's wrong?"

"Could it be that we encountered some large animal?"

The people around immediately started talking about it. Yang Shucai was more experienced and shouted to those nearby, "Be careful and don't be alone!"

But after the voices stopped, Gu Qingyu vaguely heard some muffled sounds coming, so she couldn't help but ask, "Did you hear any muffled sounds?"

Everyone shook their heads when they heard this, but seeing that Gu Qingyu was frowning and listening carefully, it didn't seem like they were hallucinating, so they pricked up their ears and listened carefully again.

"No, I didn't hear anything!" Someone listened for a while and still didn't hear anything, so he spoke up.

"No, there seems to be a sound!"

As soon as the man finished speaking, the sound became louder and louder. Gu Qingyu looked up at the mountain and saw a large amount of snow rolling down from the horizon.

"Get out of the way, there's an avalanche!" Gu Qingyu shouted to alert the people around him, and quickly tried to find a way to save himself.

"Mom, run!"

"It's too late, hold on to the tree!"

Fortunately, Gu Qingyu had read related content in a book in his previous life, and knew that when this happened, he should run upwards or sideways, and must never run downwards in the direction of the avalanche, and try to find solid shelter.

Gu Qingyu looked around while running, and his sharp eyes caught a glimpse of a huge rock not far above, which seemed to be big enough to hide.

Gu Qingyu was secretly delighted and without hesitation quickened his pace and rushed towards the boulder.

However, Gu Qingyu didn't realize that there was a cave entrance hidden behind the stone. Due to the recent drop in temperature, the snow had formed a layer of ice on the surface, which was then covered by the subsequent snow, making it completely invisible on the surface.

The snow rushing down from the mountain was getting closer and closer, and the splashing snowflakes hit Gu Qingyu's face painfully.

Without thinking too much, Gu Qingyu quickly jumped behind the rock and squatted down. Before he could even breathe a sigh of relief, his feet suddenly lost support and he fell into the cave in an instant.

Fortunately, the cave entrance was not too deep, only about two meters high. Moreover, there was a thick layer of snow below, which acted as a buffer.

Despite this, Gu Qingyu was still knocked unconscious, but at least he was not seriously injured.

Gu Qingyu lay on the snow for a long time before she came to her senses. She carefully got up, stretched her arms and legs, and after making sure she was fine, she looked around and observed.

Only then did she realize that the wall behind her had been dug up, revealing a dark, bottomless corridor.

No matter how brave Gu Qingyu was, she would not dare to go in alone. At this time, she saw that there seemed to be no movement outside the cave, and she guessed that the avalanche outside had stopped.

Worried that shouting for help would trigger a second avalanche and bury the cave entrance, Gu Qingyu found a stone on the ground and floated it towards the stone wall inside the cave, hoping that someone would hear the sound.

Gu Qingyu knocked for a long time, but there was no movement outside. Gu Qingyu was anxious and didn't care whether shouting loudly would cause a second avalanche. He shouted outside.

"Is there anyone nearby?"

"Help!"

"I fell into the hole below. I don't know if I have anyone!"

Gu Qingyu shouted intermittently for more than ten minutes, but no one came.

How did that happen?

She didn't run very far just now, so there shouldn't be anyone around!

This was actually because Gu Qingyu had misjudged the distance she had run. She had just unleashed her full potential at that critical moment, running almost a mile in one breath.

At that time, everyone around was frightened by this sudden situation. Fortunately, Gu Qingyu reminded them in time, and everyone became alert and fled for their lives.

After the avalanche stopped, everyone stopped. By then, the crowd had already dispersed. The lucky ones still had one or two people around them, but most of them were lonely people like Gu Qingyu.

It’s just that Gu Qingyu was unlucky and fell into an unknown cave!

The surroundings were completely white, and everything looked the same. It was impossible to find the way back. The people in twos and threes could only retreat down the mountain.

Fortunately, when Gu Qingyu fell, the backpack she was carrying also fell down.

The emergency supplies prepared inside are still intact. With these supplies, Gu Qingyu can sustain his life for at least two days.

Unable to go out upwards, Gu Qingyu could only explore the passage behind her to see if she could find a way out.

Gu Qingyu picked up a branch, cut a strip of cloth from his cotton-padded jacket with a knife and wrapped it around the top of the branch. He then poured the cooking oil in his backpack onto the strip of cloth to make a simple torch and lit it. Then he held the torch and walked forward bravely.

The faint light made the surroundings even more eerie. After walking about two hundred meters, Gu Qingyu found that he had reached the end.

There was a huge iron door at the end of this corridor. Gu Qingyu tried to push it, but found that it could not be moved at all.

Finding that the light on the torch was almost out, Gu Qing tore off a piece of cloth, poured oil on it and wrapped it around the torch.

After the light came back on, Gu Qingyu held up a torch and looked around to see if there was any mechanism or something.

Hard work pays off. Gu Qingyu found a spot in the crack of the wall near the iron gate that was obviously cleaner than other places.
