Agriculture Escape: Ultimate Boss Has A Space Pocket! - Chapter 79

79 All the Medicine Is Gone

Everyone gathered around the fire to eat their porridge when it suddenly started to snow.

Bai Wutong reached out her hand, and the slightly cold snowflakes fell into her palm. The moment Stinky reached out his small hand to grab them, they disappeared.

The snow was indeed beautiful, but it was strangely cold. She could feel the temperature plummet by several degrees.

Bai Wutong was very worried. If they continued moving on, would they encounter a snowstorm?

!!
At dawn, a thin layer of snow had accumulated on the top of their tent. The children who had woken up early had even built many strangely shaped little snowmen. When they saw Bai Wutong lift the carriage curtain, a bold child immediately pointed at the snowman he had made and said with a smile, “Madam Bai, look, this is the Master Chu I made! Isn’t it good-looking?”

He had decorated the snowman’s face with leaves as a beard. Now that he said it, it looked a little like Chu Tianbao.

Bai Wutong nodded gently and praised, “Yes.”

The little kid’s chin almost raised to the sky in pride.

Little Peach, who was much more agile in movements, carefully walked over with the little snowman she had made and raised it. “Madam, it’s you,” she said sweetly.

As soon as she finished speaking, the other children joked, “It doesn’t look like her at all. Madam Bai’s face is red.”

Little Peach shook her head and said seriously, “Mother said that Madam will definitely become as fair as the snowman in the future.”

Bai Wutong looked at Little Peach, whose hands were red from the cold and was smiling sweetly at her. Her heart warmed and she stroked Peach’s head. “Yes, Peach is right.”

The children looked at each other and imitated Little Peach to make a cute little snowman. They held it in front of Bai Wutong and said innocently and hopefully, “Madam Bai will definitely become fair like this.”

Bai Wutong met the children’s expectant gazes and felt warm in her heart. Her smile was as bright as the sun as she said, “Yeah.”

The children were stunned. Why did it seem that the weather was not so cold anymore?

Ever since that night of snowing, the team entered the vast wilderness of the Fengming City. The snow fell heavier and heavier. Just as Bai Wutong had guessed, a snowstorm was about to arrive.

When there was a snowstorm, the snow would be accompanied by strong winds. The snow would fill the sky and visibility would decrease. If the team continued on their way, they would encounter great danger.

Bai Wutong looked around and said to everyone, “We’re trapped in a snowstorm. Set up the tent where we are and wait for it to end before we go on.”

They were surrounded by uneven plains and could not find anywhere else to hide. They could only set up tents on the spot.

Bai Wutong did not have much experience with snowstorms. She quickly flipped through the blizzard disaster prevention information in the RV space and made a summary to Lin Yue and the others, “When the snowstorm comes, everyone has to shake the tent from time to time to avoid being crushed by the snow. In addition, you have to make sure that the snow doesn’t block the vent. If the snow blocks the vent of the tent, the people inside will suffocate.”

Lin Yue quickly passed the message down.

Unexpectedly, everyone was still too slow.

The sudden snowstorm and wind made it impossible for them to successfully set up the tent.

Very soon, they could barely even stand.

The carriage rocked, and the horses whinnied in alarm.

It was too dangerous to continue staying in the carriage. Chu Tianbao tied Stinky to his chest and got out of the carriage with Bai Wutong.

The people from the 30 families of Qinghe also alighted from the carriage one after another. The snow fell heavily. After a while, they could not see each other’s faces clearly despite being quite close.

The horses and livestock jumped around in panic. Many of them held the horses and were almost dragged away by the horses before the snowstorm blew them away.

The things that everyone had piled on the carriage were also overturned by the wind.

Fortunately, Bai Wutong and the others got out of the carriage in time. One of the carriages was lifted off the ground and smashed into a horse, causing it to fall into the snow and neigh in pain.

Food was the foundation of their escape. The men used their bodies to protect the food on the cart. After a while, they were covered in snow and turned into snowmen.

It was fine if they persisted for a while. If they persisted for a while longer, the snowstorm would be a little stronger and their energy would be exhausted. They might be blown away and buried by the snowstorm at any time.

Bai Wutong shouted at Lin Yue, Qingfeng and the others, “The snow is too heavy! Everyone, forget about the horses and things. Now, get everyone to hang their emergency food bags on their bodies and dig a snow hole to hide in! Hurry up! It’ll be too late if the snow gets any heavier! We can still think of a way if there’s no more food. If the person is gone, there’s really no other way.”

Only a few people could hear Bai Wutong’s voice in the howling snow. Lin Yue, Qingfeng, and the others quickly led their men in passing down the message.

The 30 families of Qinghe had no other choice but to listen to Bai Wutong’s instructions.

When the messenger returned, Chu Tianbao had already used his internal energy to dig a huge snow hole for everyone to squeeze into.

Lin Yue jumped into the snow hole and suddenly thought of something. He got up with a whoosh.

At this moment, the snowstorm almost brought about a huge impact like the flood.

It was extremely dangerous for Lin Yue to go out at this time.

Bai Wutong was about to tell him not to go out, but Lin Yue had already disappeared.

“Whoo—”

“Whoo—”

The howling of the blizzard sounded in everyone’s ears. No more horses could be heard outside the snow hole.

Time passed, but Lin Yue had not returned.

Bai Wutong was worried that he would be blown away by the snowstorm. When Qingfeng stood up to look for him, Lin Yue’s struggling figure appeared in the blurry snowstorm with the box.

Everyone quickly squeezed like penguins to make room for him to hide.

He came down, covered in snow. Even the roots of his eyelashes had been turned into icicles.

When he suddenly entered the crowd, he let out a cold breath and sighed. “It’s so warm.” He had almost frozen to death.

Qingfeng glanced at the large box that was still covered in snow in his hand, and her eyes darkened.

The blizzard lasted all afternoon. It was almost dark before the snow began to ease.

At this moment, the top of everyone’s heads was already covered in snow that was dozens of centimeters thick. If not for the fact that they trembled from time to time, they would probably have died from the heavy snowfall.

Those who knew martial arts jumped out of the snow hole and helped the others dig out the people trapped in the snow.

After being busy for a while, everyone came out of the snow and started digging for buried food items.

After digging for a while, they found only a tenth of the supplies. The rest of the supplies had been blown away by the heavy snow. The horses and living livestock had almost been wiped out. Apart from a few that had survived with difficulty, the rest had either been trapped in the snow and suffocated to death or had run out of sight.

There were so many of them. What would they do without the food?

Everyone looked at the seemingly empty team and became afraid of the journey ahead.

Gu Zhongxun even looked around for the prescription medicine he had developed for Qingfeng. After searching for a long time, he could not find a single herb. He looked at Qingfeng in a daze and said sadly, “Miss Qingfeng, the medicine is all gone.”
