Chapter 123: The murder of believers in the mountains (2)
"I'm glad you're okay!" Xiaoxin responded and turned around to pull Xiaolan's skis and his own skis out of the snow pile.
This turn also allowed Xiaolan to see the holes in Shin-chan's down jacket. The down inside was constantly being blown away by the strong wind, and the originally full down jacket was shriveled at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Are you okay, Xiaolan?"
"Sister Xiaolan, are you okay?" Kogoro Mouri and Conan also came over. Just now, there was a strong wind mixed with snowflakes, and they didn't see clearly that it was Shin-chan who blocked the wind for Xiaolan.
"I'm fine, but Mr. Nohara was protecting me just now and my back hit a tree trunk, and my down jacket is torn." Xiaolan explained, then looked at Shinnosuke with some guilt.
At this time, Xiaoxin also dug out the snowboard buried in the snow pile. There was no problem with Xiaoxin's single board, but the problem was that Xiaolan's double board was broken.
It should be that the quality of the snowboards produced by the unscrupulous merchants is poor.
Xiaoxin stood up holding the single board and the broken double board.
After checking that his daughter was fine, Kogoro Mouri couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and came to Shin-chan's side.
"Nohara, thank you so much for saving my daughter just now. My daughter said that your back hit a tree trunk in order to protect her? Are you okay?"
"Daijubu, but Ms. Maori..."
"Just call me Xiaolan. We don't need to call each other Mr. or Ms. anymore. Can I call you Xiaoxin?" Xiaolan also came over and interrupted.
Conan, who was standing next to him, couldn't sit still. He couldn't help but feel a sense of danger from Shin-chan, and now there was the threat of a love rival!!!
How come he lost his wife while skiing? ! !
"Of course, I'm fine, but Xiaolan's skis are broken." Xiaoxin held the broken skis and motioned for everyone to look.
"Oh no! Why are these rented skis so unreliable? I must go find him when I get out!" Kogoro Mouri was very angry because several people's ski equipment were rented from the ski resort, not bought.
"Uncle, that has to wait until we slide out of the snow slope. We don't know how far we are from the finish line now." Xiaoxin spread his hands helplessly.
"There are still more than three kilometers to go." Conan next to him made the final move.
This is indeed a difficult task. It only takes about 20 to 30 minutes to ski more than three kilometers, but if you walk, not to mention the heavy snow and strong wind, just walking in the snow is a very physically demanding task.
It takes at least half a day to walk three kilometers, and there is a strong wind and snowstorm now. If you stay a little longer, you may encounter many dangers.
"What should we do? With such strong winds, we have no way of bringing anyone back."
Kogoro Mori rubbed his hair in distress, making it frizzy and like a bird's nest.
Conan squatted on the ground and studied the broken skis, wondering if he could repair it, at least until they could get back to the end of the ski resort.
"I have an idea, I wonder if Xiaolan is willing." Xiaoxin scratched his head, laughed foolishly, and tried his best to appear harmless.
"What method? Our most important thing now is to go back to the rest area first." Kogoro Mori asked immediately.
"Well, I'm a pretty good skier. I can carry Xiaolan, so it's no problem for me to carry one person."
"Is that so..." Kogoro Mouri did not agree immediately, but instead turned his attention to Xiaolan.
Xiaolan's face instantly turned red with embarrassment, but fortunately, she had a mask and goggles covering it so no one could see it. "No... I'm fine."
"Okay, let's not delay any further. Let's go back and talk about it. Now that Shin-chan's down jacket is torn, he will soon become hypothermic. The longer we stay here, the more dangerous we will be!" Kogoro Mouri made the decision immediately.
Conan, who was still squatting on the ground studying, widened his eyes. What about me? What about me? Does no one care about my opinion?
Sadly, no one really cared about his opinion.
"Xiao Xin, thank you for your hard work~" Xiaolan came closer and her voice became much softer.
"It's okay, sorry for the inconvenience!" Shin-chan put the snowboard on the ground, fixed both feet on it, and picked up Xiaolan.
Xiaolan leaned in Xiaoxin's arms, her face under the mask becoming more and more blushing. She didn't know why she just felt that Xiaoxin's arms were so warm, and there was a refreshing smell on his body that made her relax.
Conan looked at Shin-chan who was holding Xiaolan with resentment, curled his lips and said nothing. After all, if he delayed any further, someone might die.
Xiaoxin held Xiaolan in his arms with a natural look on his face, tilted the snowboard, and slid down the slope.
"Little brat, hurry up and follow!" Mouri Kogoro urged Conan, but he did not move. He planned to stay behind and follow Conan closely, otherwise it would be even more troublesome if Conan got lost on the road.
"Okay!" Conan responded, using the snowballs in both hands to push his body forward, sliding down the slope and following behind Shin-chan. He swore to keep an eye on Shin-chan and not let him act bully towards Xiaolan.
Xiaoxin just doesn't know, and even if he knew he wouldn't take it seriously.
While a few people were hurrying on their way, at the rest area of the ski resort on the other side, Guangzhi, Meiya and others gathered here, looking at the howling wind and blizzard outside with uneasy expressions.
Half an hour ago, the staff of the ski resort notified everyone to return to the rest area as a snowstorm had suddenly arrived. They would compensate everyone for the inconvenience caused. Hiroshi, Misae and others also returned to the rest area, but there was no sign of Shin-chan for a long time.
After I told the staff, they also said that they could only wait until after the blizzard was over before sending people out to search. It was impossible to send people out now. Not to mention saving people, even the people sent out might get lost.
Everyone had no choice but to wait here. They couldn't get through to Xiaoxin on the phone because the phone was out of service area.
"Don't worry, Shin-chan is not an ordinary kid, he will definitely come back." Suotome Qiongzi noticed that everyone was in a very heavy mood, so she immediately started to persuade them.
"Well, Master Xiaoxin will be fine!" Xiao Ai said firmly, but her hands were clenched tightly, her nails piercing into her palms, and scarlet blood flowed out from her palms.
"Stay~"
"Don't worry, Shin-chan has grown up in our care, and he has always had good luck since he was young. Maybe he is on his way back now, or hiding from the snowstorm somewhere. Once the snowstorm is over, Shin-chan will be back." Kazama Mineko also stepped forward to comfort Hiroshi and Misae.
The two of them forced a stiff smile at the corners of their mouths, but their eyes were still fixed on the howling wind and blizzard outside the window.
