The night darkened, and the temperature on the mountain continued to drop. Through the wind, Song Qingchun could hear the sound of crying being carried into her ears.
Probably due to her absolute despair, her battered mind had a moment where she felt like the crying did not come from her own mouth.
Song Qingchun did not know how long she had lain there crying; in the end, she cried until she lost her voice, her body was completely frozen, and her teeth were chattering from the cold. Even so, her tears continued to fall endlessly.
Utilizing a great store of energy, she forced the tears to stop. She looked at the darkness around her helplessly before standing up to walk toward her car. However, she only managed to take one step before her legs, which had become rubbery from sitting against asphalt, failed her, and Song Qingchun once again collapsed to the freezing ground.
