Chapter 250. Miracle
After so long without seeing him, the old man, in his excitement, immediately expressed his desire to go with them, but with the pitch-black darkness and snowy roads outside, there was no way Hua Jin and his brother could agree.
Of course, Hua Jin was well aware not to offer to accompany his brother and handed the emergency lamp to him, with the two large dogs following for safety, which was not a problem.
By now, Hua Yunao was quite accustomed to anything his sister produced, never questioning the origins, just using whatever she gave him.
Such a small thing could emit a light as strong as daylight, truly a miracle. Although no one in the family said it, Hua Yunao had already formed his own interpretation in his heart.
Sister... No matter who she is, all he knows is that she is his sister, whom he needs to protect meticulously for life, and nothing else matters.
Thus, Hua Dage put on another cotton coat, holding a torch in one hand and the emergency lamp in the other, with the two large dogs swiftly climbing to the mountaintop, placing the torch in a conspicuous spot, like a bright beacon waiting for his friend’s arrival.
Elsewhere, after climbing two mountains, Luo Song saw the sky beginning to slowly darken. After a skirmish with wild boars and several hours of continuous walking, everyone was physically exhausted and had to rest.
In desperation, they could only find a place to set up a pot and cook a meal first. According to Jin’er, they still had a big mountain to cross, and without replenishing their energy and strength, it would be difficult to persevere, especially as the mountain nights were even colder.
The food was ready-made, mixed directly in a big pot with the dry rations they carried. Although not particularly tasty, the combination of broth and meat was indeed very comforting when consumed, and they added a lot of ginger to it.
After eating, it was completely dark, and they buried the fire with snow. Feeling the warmth spreading through their bodies, Luo Song couldn’t wait any longer and urged everyone to hit the road, ready to push on over the final big mountain.
