Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family - Chapter 294
Chapter 294: Chapter 294: Avalanche
“I… I really didn’t know at that time…”
Tears gathered in Liu Sisi’s eyes, she really didn’t know!
If she had known, she would have risked her life to save Liu Zhi’er. Unfortunately… there are no regrets in this world!
The next moment, she was pulled and pushed by the frantic Liu Zhi’er out of the room and fell to the ground.
Inside the room, a low and suppressed sob could be faintly heard. The sound of the door slamming shut in front of her made Liu Sisi unable to contain herself, and her tears started to fall.
“I really didn’t know… that you were in the room… Really…”
Liu Sisi covered her face. If she had discovered Liu Zhi’er sooner, perhaps this wouldn’t have happened.
Liu Zhi’er wouldn’t have been defiled by that beast…
“It’s all my fault! It’s my fault… You’re right! If I had found you in the room in time, none of this would have happened! It’s all because of me…”
She pressed against the door, crying in sorrow.
Separated by a door, the two sisters cried bitterly, their emotions of bitterness and heartache spreading…
On the other side.
Old Man Li tore off the whip from his waist, becoming a free-falling object in mid-air.
As he laughed wildly, his body quickly crashed into the cliff. His laughter turned into a scream as he continuously hit the cliff face.
“What’s going on? Di Yelei, is something wrong?”
Above, two fellow villagers shouted anxiously.
“He’s fallen! You guys hold on to the rope, I’m going to go down and check.”
As he spoke, he casually wrapped the rope around his waist with his left hand, grabbed the rope with his right hand and quickly slid down. He almost hit a tree that was leaning outwards, grabbed it hurriedly, and rested for a moment. Looking down, he saw Old Man Li lying not far below.
“Damn it!”
Di Yelei cursed angrily. It was all because of this man’s foolish actions that he had to chase after him like this.
“Woof woof woof…”
A series of dog barks came from below, and suddenly, a small figure emerged from the snow pile. If not Ah-Hua, who else could it be?
Ah-Hua’s fur was originally white mixed with yellow and brown colors. When she had fallen earlier, she must have been knocked unconscious. Now awake, she immediately dashed towards Old Man Li’s location.
Di Yelei’s heart was overjoyed. Ah-Hua had unexpectedly appeared, which was great news!
“Ah-Hua! Bite him, don’t let him get away!”
Old Man Li screamed in pain. His left leg was twisted in an unnatural way that no normal person would be able to endure, a clear indication that his leg was broken.
At this moment, as Ah-Hua pounced and barked, he quickly tried to escape by moving backward.
However, his severe leg injury slowed him down considerably. He didn’t get far before he was quickly caught and knocked down by Ah-Hua.
The man and the dog were swiftly tangled together, a cacophony of curses and barks echoing through the area, as they quickly rolled downhill from where they were hiding.
Di Yelei was worried and quickly slid down the rope using both his hands and legs. No matter how fast he tried, he couldn’t catch up to the rolling man and dog. Seeing that the rope had run out, Di Yelei took off the rope from his waist and hitched it to a nearby stone and continued sliding down.
Bang!
Suddenly, a dull rumbling sound came from below, accompanied by a scream.
Di Yelei quickly lowered his head to see that below on the slope, a pit suddenly appeared, the surrounding accumulated snow and the mountain were collapsing rapidly! Amid the rolling rumble, Li’s and Ah-Hua’s figures were soon submerged.
A tearing heartache spread from the bottom of his heart, causing Di Yelei so much pain that he could hardly breathe, and he couldn’t help but shout.
“Ah-Hua! Come back! Come back!”
Ah-Huang had just had an accident, and when he turned around, Ah-Hua disappeared right before his eyes, leaving Di Yelei devastated!
A moment later, the entire mountain began to shake!
Ice chunks mixed with thick accumulated snow fell all around Di Yelei, who was completely stunned!
“Di Yelei, run! It’s an avalanche!”
Above, two fellow villagers panicked and ran in opposite directions instinctively fleeing for their lives.
Di Yelei was hanging in mid-air at the moment, unable to go either up or down.
Fortunately, although the mountain shook a few times, it did not collapse. Looking down at the hole that was as big as two rooms, the bottom could not be seen at all.
Not giving up, he continued to descend, braving the falling snow until he reached the entrance of the cave.
Suddenly, a huge whirlwind emerged from the entrance of the cave, and a large chunk of falling ice from above nearly dragged him directly into the entrance.
He was momentarily shocked, but his face remained calm. Following the swinging rope, he stepped on the cave roof and quickly climbed up two steps, escaping the whirlwind’s range!
With such strong winds, how could he find his way down?
Di Yelei furrowed his eyebrows, secretly assessing the possibility of Ah-Hua surviving, and finally, extinguished the idea of searching for her again and began to climb up.
The mountain was still trembling, and when he finally climbed up the cliff, another violent shaking came.
Di Yelei had no time to care about anything else. He quickly ran to Ah-Huang, picked him up, and rushed down the mountain.
Falling rocks and snow smashed down constantly, and the rumbling sound of the avalanche echoed. Di Yelei didn’t look back, nor did he dare to.
His steps were so fast that his shadow was barely visible, racing forward!
The rumbling sound behind him grew closer and closer. Even without looking back, he knew that the avalanche was chasing him down!
Zhang Peng, who rushed over later, happened to witness the scene in front of him!
He had only arrived at the foot of the mountain right after Liu Sisi mentioned Jade Screen Mountain. As soon as he reached the foot of the mountain, he heard a huge rumble coming from the other side. Immediately, the accumulated snow on the peaks collapsed and slid down rapidly.
Countless snow began to collapse from the top of the mountain. As it continued to move downwards, it engulfed numerous ice layers, and the overwhelming snow collapsed below, like rivers bursting their banks, rolling and tumbling down mightily.
Compared to the cascading avalanche, the figure running ahead of the collapsed snow became even more conspicuous!
Zhang Peng’s eyes widened as he stared at the figure rushing ahead, apparently holding something in his arms!
He couldn’t care less about anything else and shouted at the top of his lungs!
“Di Yelei! Run! Run!”
However, his shouting was completely drowned out by the thunderous noise!
The sky-filling snow kept falling from the top of the mountain, growing bigger and more numerous as it rolled, piled up layer upon layer, and continued to slide down.
With an unstoppable momentum, it swept away everything in its path!
