My Wife Is A Miracle Doctor In The 80s

Chapter 524: Chapter 518: Fell Down Chapter 524: Chapter 518: Fell Down Now that they’ve come this far, they’re compelled to keep going.

Liu Guang can’t die; they can’t die either, so she must find a way, right?

Tang Yuxin pulled her hat a little lower and ventured out.

The snowflakes dusting her periodically colored her visible hair silver-white.

They left a series of footprints behind.

In the snow-covered wilderness, these marks were their lone guide.

She just hoped the snowfall might lessen, letting them see their own tracks, else they risked getting lost.

Tang Yuxin inserted a branch into the snow and tucked an armful of roots into her coat.

Every now and then, she would plant a root into the ground.

If they lost their footprints, these branches would still lead the way, right?

With heavy steps and a slow pace, she moved ahead amidst bare trees and snowfall.

The sky fell into a monotonous blend of silver and grey.

The winters here were said to be terrible.

Yet there was word of precious substances like ginseng in the area.

She didn’t know if she’d be lucky enough to find any.

But she didn’t need anything special; common herbs would suffice.

Tang Yuxin passed by one huge tree after another, occasionally drawing an arrow on some with her knife.

She squatted and brushed the snow away, her fingers stiff from the cold, strangely no longer feeling the chill.

After clearing the thick crust of snow, she cut off some tree bark with her fruit knife and placed the pieces into her cloth bag.

Then she straightened up, ready to find another type.

She didn’t gather much despite all her efforts.

But in this harsh weather, even staying upright was an accomplishment, let alone collecting anything.

“Eh?” It seemed Tang Yuxin stumbled upon a familiar plant.

It hadn’t withered and there was still some green in it.

She quickly ran over, squatted down, brushed off the snow, clumsily removed her gloves and used her bare hands to pick it up.

With snowflakes continuously falling in her hair, she soon looked like a living snowman.

Patting the bag hanging off her shoulder, she smiled and looked for the markings she had left.

Luckily, she had thought to make these signs during her trek, else she feared she wouldn’t make her way back.

She suddenly stopped and squinted at a large tree in front of her.

How wonderful it would be if a rabbit bumped against it.

They could all feast on rabbit meat then.

However, she seemed out of luck.

She hadn’t encountered a single rabbit on her long trail.

But considering wolves, no encounters were better than the alternatives.

It was rumored that wolves occasionally roamed the area.

Although generally dismissed, who knew if some lone stragglers lurked in the shadows.

Despite the limited visibility and the overwhelming snow, she kept going.

With her feet numb from the cold, she knew her return journey wouldn’t be easy; her feet might even freeze.

She never considered that she might lose her way.

She couldn’t be that unlucky, right?

After all, Gu Ning survived in her last life, so this hardship was temporary.

They would get through it.

The question was, how many of them could make it back alive?

All she could see ahead was an endless expanse of white.

Surrounded by desolation, her thoughts turned erratic.

She quickened her steps for no reason at all; she was suddenly yearning for home and terrified.

Lifting her foot from the snow and marching forward, she stumbled upon something.

Unable to react, she found herself falling into emptiness.

Suddenly, she found herself at the bottom of a pit, about two meters deep, with occasional snowflakes drifting in.

All she could see was a patch of sky overhead and nothing else.

Checking her body, she was not hurt too badly due to the cushioning from the accumulated snow.

She hadn’t broken any limbs, and it was a good thing there was nothing dangerous inside the pit – else she would have ended up looking like a porcupine.

Resting for a while, she stood up carefully when she felt better.

However, she could not climb out.

The pit walls were made of earth, and she couldn’t go up.

Right now, all she could do was wait for someone to come save her.

Staying here overnight might freeze her to death.

She could even end up being the first doctor in the military hospital who fell into a pit and froze to death.

Sitting down by the edge, she curled herself into a tight ball to conserve heat.

She didn’t shout for help, preserving her energy.

She frequently rose and jumped about in the pit, sitting down when she felt warm, then stood up for a while to keep active.

She also didn’t dare to sleep, even though she was so sleepy.

She knew if she fell asleep now, she’d probably never wake up again.

Time passed and darkness crept around her.

From optimism, she gradually sank into despair.

It seemed like she had to spend the night there.

What to do, can she survive?

She didn’t know; she really didn’t know.

Compared to nature, humans are truly insignificant.

She didn’t know if she could survive a whole night.

As the surroundings chilled, her energy rapidly diminished leaving her tired and thirsty.

She scooped up a handful of snow from the ground, putting it to her lips, biting it up bit by bit.

It was icy cold, sending chills down her spine.
