Chapter 877: The winter child ——2

" All right that's enough, you all…why don't you go back to the bunker? We still need to think of a way to get the stock of food that we have hidden inside our houses," Wu Junfen spoke up when she saw that the mers were not listening to Yu Dong. She hardly spoke in the matters of other families which was why Shen Li and the rest immediately let go of Yu Dong and did not dare to cry anymore.          

    

While the mers were recollecting themselves, Wu Junfen looked at the village which was buried inside the snow and clicked her tongue in annoyance as she said, " This is something that we have no idea how to deal with, with so much snow covering the entire village we will have to wait for at least a few more weeks before we can clean it up."      

With Wu Junfen's interruption, they all turned and looked at the village which was now buried under the snow with only a few roofs peeking out, it was especially terrible for those who just rebuilt their houses after the flood. Yu Dong looked at the village and then narrowed her eyes as she said, " This snow avalanche does not make any sense, as far as I know, this snow was supposed to stay piled up at the peak without falling unless someone deliberately made a move, I don't think that such an accident would have taken place."      

Yu Dong was aware of the dangers which was why she made sure that the snow would not fall on the village but contrary to her belief the snow ended up rolling down on the village even after all the preparations that she had made which stuck as suspicious to her.      

When Wu Junfen heard Yu Dong's words, her eyes flashed with a sinister look in her eyes but then she closed them and breathed heavily, " We will think about it later on, for now, let's go inside the bunker. At dawn we will start a process to take the stocked-up food from the inside of the village as for cleaning up, it will take a lot of time."      

" All right," Yu Dong agreed as she headed towards the bunker where she had stored food which could have assured their survival for a few months in the summers but now this food was going to be used up before the arrival of summer.      

Thankfully, she had left some clay pots and vessels inside when she was moving the food together with the villagers or else they would have to eat dry grains.      

The bunker was rather warm when compared to outside, though there were no blankets or anything else, no one made a fuss given that it was already enough for them to have a safe place to hide. Other than Li Hanjing who was given the extra robes and coats by women and mers everyone else was lying or sitting on the dry ground.      

" Argh!" Li Hanjing who was pushed to a corner of the bunker screamed while the rest of the mers covered him with their bodies making sure that no one would see him.      

Aunt Wang who climbed down the bunker heaved a breath as she looked at the crowd which was squeezed inside the bunker and looked at the two mers who helped them when they were sleeping and saved them just in time, she bowed in gratitude as she said, " It's all thanks to you all that we were able to stay alive if not then I am sure that some of us would have been buried in the snow."      

" No..No there is no need," Ning Yu waved his hands as he looked at his son who was sleeping soundly on the floor before raising his gaze and looking at Shen Li who was looking at him with a peculiar look on his face.      

An awkward expression flashed on Ning Yu's face before he looked away and then said, " We only did what was supposed to be the right thing to do and nothing else. There is no need to thank us."      

Shi Xi also nodded to the side. Fortunately, their kids were saved by the Big River Village or else they would have truly died tonight, since they owed the villagers a favour it was only right for them to return it.      

At this moment, Shen Li was looking at his father. He wanted to say something to his father but when he saw that Ning Yu was avoiding him, he pursed his lips. What was he supposed to say anyway after such a long time?      

Behind them, there were a few villagers who were still worrying about the meat which was buried in their houses and wanted to go out and take a look at it.      

" I want to go and bring the elk's meat, I don't think it will hold on for long——"    

" There is so much grain stored in the kitchen, if it gets buried then how will I survive? I don't even have enough money !"    

" My pigs——"    

" All right, you all stay put! It's too dangerous right now. The sky is dark and the snow is really heavy, I don't think that you should take a risk," Village head Gu scolded the villagers with a solemn look on her face when she saw that they were still making a ruckus. " I know that you are all anxious about your food and livestock but then again think about what might happen if you rush out now! Stay inside !"      

The villagers wanted to run out since they were getting impatient but when they heard the words of Village head Gu, they no longer dared to run outside and stayed inside the bunker obediently.      

" You can do it Brother Hanjing, just another push!" As soon as the bunker descended into another round of silence, Yu Dong and the rest of the villagers heard Xiao Hua's screaming and behind him, Li Hanjing let out another scream before the cries of a child echoed in the bunker.
