It was snowing again.
Fluffy white snow fell outside the stone house with the cold wind blowing. The scene didn't look romantic or beautiful in their eyes, it only made them flustered.
Christina took out her phone and found that it only had 15% of the battery left.
Although there was no cell phone signal in this area because of equipment failure, at least the phone could act as a flashlight, and the weak lighting was a little more reassuring than the darkness.
She also noticed that it was 9 pm on her phone.
Time passed so slowly.
They hid in this simple and dirty stone house, when will it last until dawn?
"Will someone come to save us?"
"The people in the hotel are waiting for rescue. How could they risk going down the mountain to save us... Maybe they thought we were all dead."
Bob and his wife were whispering to each other. They looked aggressive and fierce, but now their voices were full of frustration and helplessness.
They were all sitting directly on the dirty soil, all tired and haggard. They only hoped that dawn would come soon. They were trapped in this snowy mountain and they did not know where they were now. It was dark outside and full of danger. They could do anything but wait.
"There's not enough firewood." Suddenly, the photographer man sitting in the corner said.
With these simple words, Christina suddenly tensed up.
She looked down at the pile of broken planks behind her. The broken plank bed and wooden cabinet in the stone house were broken into strips to serve as firewood sticks. She calculated the time in her mind. The pile of broken planks could only be burned until 12 a.m. at most.
But it was the most dangerous after midnight.
Without an open fire, any emergency would be fatal.
"There aren't enough sticks, then stop burn so much. Slow down. Otherwise, in such weather, do you want to go out to pick up firewood?"
Bob shouted irritably, "I will never go out anyway!"
Barbara, who was sitting on the other side, had her feet tied to a wooden board. She was semi-disabled, and now she was cold and tired. In this primitive cave of the stone house, she was extremely tired, and her mind was filled with despair and anger.
Her expression was filled with despair. Suddenly, she shouted angrily as if she wanted to relieve her pressure before death, "Can you live if you burn less sticks? This stone house is so cold and there is not enough firewood. Just kill youself."
Barbara's cheeks were stained with mud and tears, dirty and disheveled, and her usual etiquette was left behind angrily.
How selfish they were! Bob was the same as those who thought they were nobles before, boasting of being superior.
"It's all your fault!"
If it weren't for the so-called nobles forcing them to the ski resort, she wouldn't have suffered these crimes!
Christina hugged Geoffrey in her arms and turned to look at Barbara's resentful expression. This was the first time Christina had seen this elite woman lose control of her emotions.
Probably, she was too scared.
This kind of waiting was really depressing and desperate.
Christina reached out and touched Geoffrey's forehead, not participating in their conversation.
"Are you hungry?" She lowered her head and asked him in a low voice.
Geoffrey's small body was always close to her, and he felt very insecure. Christina kept asking him to close his eyes to rest, but he was afraid and did not dare to close his eyes. Although he was still young, he could understand what Bob and Barbara were saying.
These adults said no one would come to save them.
He thought they were all dead.
"Will Aunt Zhu be fine?"
He kept his head down and his childish voice was a little sobbing. He wanted to cry but did not dare to cry.
Christina looked straight at the snow outside. After a while, she said, "She will be fine."
"The impact of the avalanche on the direction of Crystal's run is relatively small. As long as she runs fast, she would not be washed down the mountain..." She was not good at lying, and her tone was full of uncetainty.
She hoped so.
Geoffrey lowered his head and sobbed. He was silent for a long time. He probably knew that he should not cry at this time and not cause trouble for adults. He behaved very carefully.
He wanted to see the person closest to him the most. "My father will never abandon me."
Christina looked at his little face and felt touched.
When she was pregnant, she read some parenting books that Patrick bought. He put them in the study. And she randomly read it.
According to the book, every child has a fear in his heart. He is afraid of being abandoned by his parents and even unconsciously tries to imitate and please them.
