Chapter 255 The Blizzard
It took nearly two hours for the blizzard to stop.
But it was even more dangerous to go down the mountain.
Shawn had to settle down in the cave for the time being.
"I'm going to get some firewood. We'll stay in this cave tonight. Stay here. I'll be back soon."
Nancy nodded obediently. She was holding the warm jade in her hand and was not cold at all, but she was worried about Shawn.
"Shawn, take this with you."
It was cold outside. Nancy stuffed the warm jade into Shawn's hand seriously.
"It's cold outside. I will be at ease if you take this."
Shawn felt so warm when he touched the jade.
Shawn tapped Nancy's nose, then crouched down and cracked the jade in half.
He had to do so. He couldn't let Shawn be cold.
He stuffed one into Nancy's hand and said, "There you go."
Nancy held the delicate warm jade. Although the jade was broken into two halves, she did not feel distressed. Compared with the jade, she cared more about her brother.
"You have to come back early."
She leaned on Shawn's arm and asked him to come back early in a soft voice. Then she tiptoed and kissed him on the chin.
"Alright."
Shawn rubbed her head and smiled.
With his hat on and a scarf wrapped tightly around his neck and face, Shawn walked out of the cave.
Nancy eagerly followed him to the entrance of the cave.
"Hurry back."
The inside of the cave was much warmer than the outside, especially when Nancy held a piece of warm jade.
Nancy watched Shawn disappear into the white snow, and then she sniffed and went back to the cave and sat down.
She took out her cell phone and checked it. The coverage was poor in the cave, and she couldn't call the others.
She wondered how Ivan and the others were.
Nancy sat on a clean stone with her hands clasped and prayed for her cousins to be good. "Ewen and uncle Kane, Rick, Ricky, Annie, and everybody, you have to be fine."
Suddenly, Nancy heard a slight noise and was shocked. Just as she looked out of the cave, she met a pair of golden and fierce eyes.
At the entrance of the cave, a huge white tiger stared at Nancy inside the cave. Nancy was surprised that it didn't make any noise when it walked.
Nancy would never have found it if it hadn't stepped on a branch buried in the snow.
Four eyes met. Neither Nancy nor the tiger made another move.
"Otis!" Nancy called out to the white tiger sweetly.
The white tiger at the entrance of the cave shook its ears and took the paws back.
"?"
Nancy stared at the big white tiger. It was really big!
She thought Iris was big enough, and Rick and Ricky were also big. Even if she stood, she had to raise her head so that she could see them clearly. But this white tiger was at least three times their size!
With no adults around, Nancy was even bolder when she saw Otis.
She got up and ran outside on her short legs.
The snow-white tiger glanced at her, then turned and ran out to follow Nancy.
It did run fast.
In a blink of an eye, the tiger was out of sight.
All that remained was a trail of footprints larger than Nancy's two feet.
"Otis! Otis!"
