My treasure bowl connects the past and present; I've won everything on my journey into exile.

Before Lin had finished chopping and tidying up the firewood, it started snowing heavily outside, and the wind was howling.

Although a fire was burning inside the cave, everyone was still freezing cold because the cold wind kept blowing into the cave.

People who couldn't sleep because of the cold gathered around the fire, talking quietly.

“It really is a blizzard, what Mrs. Xu said is true.”

"Yes, with such heavy snow, if we sleep outdoors, we'll either freeze to death or get sick."

"Luckily, we listened to Madam Xu's advice and rushed to this cave overnight, so we have a place to shelter from the wind and snow. I wonder how the others who didn't come are doing now?"

……

While everyone was discussing it, the Xu family was still busy.

Granny Qin, Granny Yun, and the other women were each sewing two pieces of oilcloth.

Xu Pingan and Xu Pinggui realized they couldn't help.

Remembering Lin Mo's prediction that the blizzard would last for seven days, they realized they probably wouldn't have enough firewood.

He thought he should take advantage of the fact that the wind and snow were still light and go out to find more firewood.

Lin Mo didn't stop them.

One, prepare more firewood, that's right.

Furthermore, they are all skilled in martial arts, so they can withstand this bit of wind and snow.

Lin Mo tossed them a water bag filled with wine and told them to drink it before leaving.

When Xu Ping'an and his group, reeking of alcohol, went outside, everyone stared wide-eyed.

Do we need to go out and find firewood again?

Shen Zhixuan glanced in Lin Mo's direction, then his gaze fell on Shen Qingyun:

"Father, this snowstorm is unlikely to stop anytime soon."

The Xu family has prepared so much firewood, and they still need to gather it. I think we should prepare more too, Father. What do you think?

Seeing his father looking at him, Shen Zhixuan's face turned serious:

"Father, it's better to be prepared."

Looking at his son, who had become more decisive, Shen Qingyun nodded in satisfaction:

"Okay, I'll do it your way."

"Big brother, it's so cold outside..."

Shen Pingqi, who wanted to complain, could only shut his mouth in frustration when he saw Shen Qingyun looking at him coldly. He dared not utter a sound.

Shen Zhixuan stood up:

"Let's go, while the snow isn't too heavy yet, let's go out and find as many as possible."

……

Lin Mo glanced in the direction of the Shen family members; Shen Zhixuan was indeed clever.

but……

Lin Mo glanced in Zhou Yuxuan's direction and then looked away.

She lowered her head and continued sewing the oilcloth in her hands.

This woman is about to cause trouble; she needs to be prepared.

Xu Xianyu stopped what she was doing and looked towards the cave entrance with some concern.

The wind and snow are getting heavier. I wonder how her brother is doing now?

She couldn't help but look at Lin Mo:

"Sister-in-law, I'm a little worried about my brother."

With such heavy snow, I wonder if he'll be alright.

“Your brother isn’t stupid; he’ll find somewhere to take shelter in this heavy snow.” Lin Mo shook her head without looking up.

"And he's in the Valley of Divine Healers, he'll be fine."

Xu Xianyu thought about it and agreed.

He then looked down at the oilcloth in his hand, a puzzled expression on his face:

"Sister-in-law, why are we sewing this oilcloth?"

The oilcloth is very rough and thick, making it difficult to sew.

To pierce through it with a needle, you have to use force, which takes a lot of effort.

Moreover, the oilcloth was in pieces, so she couldn't tell what her sister-in-law was going to do at all.

"A tent." Lin Mo looked up and gestured to indicate the shape of a tent.

"The tent can keep out the wind. If we are late in our journey and miss our place to stay, we can set up the tent to at least keep out the wind and avoid getting too cold."

As you continue north, the accommodations get progressively worse.

Moreover, nine times out of ten, you'll have to live in the wild, so you need to make several preparations.

Xu Mengxian's eyes lit up, her face filled with excitement:

"Sister-in-law, this tent is great! If we finish making it now, can we use it right away?"

Thinking of this, Xu Mengxian couldn't help but want to hurry up.

Once the tent is made, it can be set up immediately to block the wind.

Unfortunately, my hands, stiff and aching from the cold, wouldn't obey my commands.

Xu Mengxian had no choice but to reach out and warm herself by the fire.

it's too cold.

"Okay, but I can't do it well tonight." Lin Mo paused.

"I'm very tired today. Let's tidy up and go rest first. We can finish the rest tomorrow."

After saying that, he stood up and walked outside.

"MoMo, where are you going?" Liu Ying asked anxiously from the side.

Lin Mo turned around and chuckled softly:

"I'm just going to check the cave entrance, Mother, don't worry."

After saying that, she continued walking towards the cave entrance.

Upon reaching the cave entrance, Lin Mo noticed that the ground outside was covered with a thick layer of snow.

The howling cold wind kept pouring into her.

It’s so cold!

Lin Mo hugged herself tightly.

At the same time, his brows furrowed tightly.

With such heavy snow, I wonder if Master Wei and the others are alright.

Just then, Xiao Liuzi walked over with a serious expression.

"Madam Xu, I plan to go and meet up with Brother Wei and the others."

The snowstorm is so heavy, I'm afraid something might happen to them.

Lin Mo hesitated for a moment, then nodded:

"Wait for me, I'll go with you."

"what?"

Xiao Liu shook his head violently, "No way."

The snowstorm is too strong; the wind could blow you away. You'd better not go and cause trouble.

Blown away?

Lin Mo wanted to laugh.

If it were a past life, perhaps.

But in this lifetime, it's impossible.

She shook her head. "Have you forgotten how strong I am?"

How could the wind possibly blow me away?

This wind may blow you away, but it can't blow me away.

Okay, wait for me a moment.

After saying that, she turned and walked towards her mother.

She had her own reasons for taking this risk.

She thought all the escorts were on her side.

It's not easy to do normally, and nobody will buy into it for her.

But this kind of weather is perfect for bestowing favors.

If you miss this opportunity, you might not find a second chance.

After speaking to Liu Ying, Lin Mo bent down and picked up four handy wooden sticks.

"MoMo, don't go." Liu Ying looked at her with a worried expression:

"The snowstorm is too heavy, and it's the middle of the night. You haven't rested much all day. It's too dangerous."

"Mother, I have to go. Don't worry, I'm fine, I'll come back safely."

Lin Mo shook her head at her, signaling Lin Shuo to comfort her, and then she turned and left.

When they reached the cave entrance, she handed two of the wooden sticks to Xiao Liuzi.

Seeing Xiao Liu's puzzled expression, Lin Mo explained:

“This stick will make walking easier in the wind and snow, and it can also be used to test for danger. Let’s go, let’s not waste any more time.”

After saying that, he immediately walked outside.

……

Just as Lin Mo and Xiao Liuzi went out together to look for Lao Wei and the others, Lao Wei was lying quietly on the snow, his eyes numb as he watched the group gradually disappear into the distance.

His body was frozen stiff, but he endured the excruciating pain.

With trembling hands, he pulled a blood-stained wine flask from his bosom.

I bit open the cap and drank the last few sips of wine.

He had no regrets, as he could still enjoy a few sips of fine wine before he died.

He let out a burp, then tossed the wine flask aside.

Old Wei slowly closed his eyes, letting the wind and snow cover his body.

Since ancient times, who has ever escaped death?

Anyway, eighteen years later, he'll be a hero again.

It's just a bit of a regret that I died in this way.

The snow quickly buried his body.

First the legs, then the body, and finally the head.

Just as the wind and snow were about to completely engulf him, he heard a shout from afar.

Immediately afterwards, the snow on his face was swept away.

He was quickly dug out of the snow.

Old Wei opened his eyes with difficulty.

He looked at Xu Wuyan with some surprise and said with difficulty:

"I never imagined that the last person I would see would be the Crown Prince."

Xu Wuyan remained silent.

He didn't miss the bloodstains on Lao Wei's body.

Dig the person out and immediately start checking his injuries.

The examination revealed multiple fractures throughout his body, with his lower leg being the most severely injured.

A tree branch pierced his calf, and blood congealed around the wound.

Xu Wuyan was relieved that the cold weather had frozen the wound, preventing further bleeding.

"What happened?" Xu Wuyan frowned deeply.

Why did they abandon you here?

"Otherwise what?" Old Wei was shivering from the cold due to excessive blood loss.

"In this kind of snowy weather, even we can hardly save ourselves. Taking me with you will only lead to our deaths."

Xu Wuyan shook his head, took out a porcelain bottle from his pocket, poured out two pills, and put them into his mouth:

"Eat it, then I'll take you away."

Old Wei paused for a moment, then shook his head:

“I appreciate your kindness, Your Highness, but please don’t worry about me anymore, I…”

The next second, Xu Wuyan reached out and grabbed his chin, then shoved the medicine into his mouth:

"Live well, and just remember that you owe me a life."

Stay awake, whatever you do, don't fall asleep.

After saying that, he got up and left without paying attention to Lao Wei's expression.

Old Wei, nothing can happen to him.

His being alive is only good for them.

When Xu Wuyan returned, he had two thick wooden sticks in his hands.

He used the dried rattan he had torn to make a stretcher by wrapping it around a wooden stick.

Only then were the seriously injured Lao Wei moved onto a stretcher.

To prevent further injury to his leg during dragging, Xu Wuyan specially secured his leg to the wooden stick with a rope.

After doing all this, Xu Wuyan lifted the other end of the stretcher and laboriously dragged him forward.

The fierce blizzard made walking extremely difficult even without any load.

Now, with someone else attached, it's even more difficult to move an inch.

Soon, a heavy breathing sound was heard amidst the wind and snow.

Old Wei, whose body was stiff from the cold, looked at the marks left behind him and smiled bitterly:

"Your Highness, is there any wine?"

The next second, a wine bag was thrown at him.

Old Wei, his hands trembling, twisted open the cork of the wine flask and gulped down the wine.

The cold, spicy liquor, once it entered my stomach, immediately brought a warm feeling to my limbs and bones, and my mind became much clearer.

If you can live, who wants to die?

belch!

Old Wei let out a burp, "Young Master, I, Old Wei, owe you my life."

It's understandable that he was injured and the exiled people didn't care about him.

But his colleagues abandoned him without hesitation. Who wouldn't feel disheartened?

There was a carriage and horses; if we just put him on it, we could save his life.

But they didn't care about their own lives at all and just left.

The world is so cold.

Xu Wuyan took a breath:

"Just remember it."

Instead of 'having strength,' tell me why you were so badly injured."

Old Wei can't sleep.

In this weather, coupled with his serious injuries, if he falls asleep, he might not wake up again.
