“Xia He… Xia He had gone on a work trip to the highland area this time round. She was worried that we would object, so she didn’t tell anyone in the family. We just received some news. They encountered an avalanche on the way there and have already been buried in the snow for three days,” Xia Wen said with a solemn expression.

By right, the current troupe leader would have to report this matter to Xu Lan and ask for her opinion before deciding on the dancers to go on a work trip to the highlands. However, during this period of time, Xu Lan had been so caught up in Xu Ju t s issue that she could not go out at all. Xu Ju also took control of the electrical appliances in her house during that time, so the current troupe leader had to decide on many things without Xu Lan’s involvement.

Xu Lan widened her eyes and took a deep breath. She said with a trembling voice, “Is the avalanche… a serious one? Is there any more news from there? Is the rescue team already there? Do both your father and your eldest aunt know about this? Tell them now! Ask them to think of a way to save Xia He!”

This performance which Xia He was supposed to be taking in was a public service event. The highlands were very remote and there were no entertainment activities there. There was no television signal there, so people who lived there could not even watch television.

The avalanche happened on a mountain in the distance. What the dance troupe had encountered was the effect of the aftershocks and they were not buried very deep in the snow. However, it was still snowing every day, adding to the depth of the snow, so it was very difficult to carry out the search and rescue work.

“It’s a very difficult rescue mission. The snow will need to stop for at least five days for the rescue to be successful. Father and Eldest Aunt already know about this and they’re doing their best to think of a way. It’s said that Xia He and the others are not in any danger for the time being,” Xia Wen said with a frown.

“What about helicopters? No way to get there either?” Qiao Mei asked.

“No, the weather is really too bad and we can only do a manual search and rescue. However, based on the news we received, they might have already been trapped there for four days. Five if we include today,” Xia Wen said.

Xu Lan was so agitated that she almost fainted. Qiao Mei was certain that Xia He was still alive. Before she left on the work trip, Qiao Mei had given her a

bottle of medicinal wine. This bottle of medicinal wine could save her even from the verge of death and allow her to be brought back alive quickly, but there was only one chance to do it.

However, it would be hard to say for sure it they continued to be stuck tor another five days in the snow and ice. In weather that was minus 40 degrees Celsius, body temperature dropped very quickly and it would be hard to stay alive.

“What can we do?” Qiao Mei asked.

If Xia Wen came to look for her, there must be something that she could do. He would not come and inform her about it otherwise, knowing that it would make her worried.

“The authorities in the capital have formed a search and rescue team and we’re also sending our Xia family’s guard team. They will set off tonight and rush over, but there’s a problem. It’s hard to say if they will survive after they enter the mountains. It’s very likely that something will happen to these search and rescue personnel. I’m thinking… I’m thinking…” Xia Wen stammered, not knowing how to say it.

There were more than 100 people in total. He knew it was asking for too much to give each person a bottle of medicinal wine. However, the lives of these search and rescue personnel would otherwise be in danger. He had no choice but to come and look for Qiao Mei.

“l understand. Eldest Brother, come with me. Everything is with Grandfather,” Qiao Mei said calmly.

Xia Wen followed closely behind Qiao Mei. In the backyard house, Qiao Mei had knocked down the walls between two rooms at one corner to make one big room. The room was used to store ginseng of various ages as well as various types of ginseng juice. The shelves on the wall were lined with exquisite small bottles and on the floor, there were large water vats filled with medicinal wine made from ginseng.

Only Qiao Qiang and her had the keys to this room. When Qiao Qiang ran out of medicinal wine, he would come here to get more from the water vat. Qiao Mei had also made him a lot of medicinal wine from medicinal herbs. She just wanted to give Qiao Qiang a few flavors to choose from, so that he would not feel too bored from drinking only one type of medicinal wine.

Qiao Mei pointed at the water vats in front of her and said, “This is all the medicinal wine I have. There are a total of four vats, but there aren’t enough bottles at home. I’ll arrange for Chi Ze and the rest to buy more now.”

“Alright, I’ll make the arrangements now.” With that, Xia Wen left the house. Qiao Mei took advantage of his absence to pour a few bottles of golden ginseng juice into the big water vats in front of her. This was a life-and-death situation and she must contribute whatever good stuff she had.

She could not let those brave people lose their lives while saving Xia He. This outcome was unacceptable to the Xia family and to her as well. Everyone who went on the search and rescue mission must come back safe and sound.

Qiao Mei began to carefully scoop the medicinal wine from the big water vat into the small bottles. When Qiao Qiang heard about what happened, he also came over to help. After Xu Lan was more calm, she also came to the backyard to help them..
