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! Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
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!"
The young girl's soft voice sounded in the snow and was drowned out by the sound of the wind.
But the big white tiger made no attempt to respond/
Nancy hung her head in disappointment, wondering why it ran so fast.
She wanted to chase after it following the footprints, but she had to wait for Shawn.
Waiting for her brother was more important.
Although she was disappointed, Nancy turned around and went back to the cave, holding the warm jade in her arms.
Nancy felt her tummy, which was rumbling, and looked into her backpack. There was something to eat in it.
There were biscuits, ham sausage, apples, and milk.
Nancy picked up a big apple and ate it slowly.
She wondered when Shawn would be back.
It was boring to wait for Shawn to come back. Nancy kept looking out of the cave, but she didn't see any familiar figure. Gradually, Nancy nodded off, and her eyes were about to close.
She yawned. All that walking and skiing and being scared had taken a lot of energy today, and she was tired of sitting around and waiting for someone.
Just as she was dozing off, Nancy felt something come in. The breathing sound was particularly loud in a quiet environment, which awoke her.
But Nancy did not open her eyes at once. Instead, she pretended to be asleep and slightly opened her eyelids. Then she saw the big white tiger coming in silently.
It was so large that it almost blocked the entrance of the cave and made the cave darkened.
And as it came in, the cave, which had been spacious, suddenly became crowded.
The tiger was getting closer, and Nancy could feel it craning its neck to sniff at her.
"I got you!"
Nancy suddenly opened her eyes and put her arms around Otis's neck.
The tiger seemed to be startled and jumped up, and Nancy, who was holding its neck, was lifted in midair.
"Ouch!"
Otis's neck was too thick for her to hold, and Nancy fell to the ground.
At this time, the white tiger had turned and ran outside.
Nancy covered her butt and cried.
Tears streamed down her face, and she looked pitiful.
Otis, who had run outside, shook its ears, and its paw hadn't landed on the floor. It turned its head hesitantly, peeping into the cave with its golden eyes.
Nancy was still crying miserably, but she cried louder when she saw the tiger's movements.
Otis was a bit shocked.
It circled on the spot, not knowing what to do. The snow was messed up by it.
"Otis."
Nancy cried Otis' name in a soft voice as she wiped away her tears.
The white tiger wagged its tail and headed to the cave step by step, but it just stood at the entrance and didn't get in.
Nancy was confused and didn't know what it wanted to do.
"Otis."
The little girl stood up and went out with her face red.
Otis stared at her without moving.
Then she managed to touch its thigh!
Nancy immediately smiled through tears.
"Otis, don't run."
Otis hooked its tail, pushed the little girl with its head into the cave, and then turned and left.
Nancy was speechless, puffing out her cheeks in anger.
