Chapter 11
Avalanche
Meatball felt that it would die of anxiety one day. It shouldn’t have been so soft-hearted back then and actually chose this…
Sigh, forget it. There was no point thinking about this.
[Don’t run so fast!]
When Ah Yu ran, she did not feel cold. Instead, she felt that running was very fun, especially after she discovered the little lamb. The little lamb stopped walking and stopped beside a huge rock to wait for her.
Ah Yu ran over, panting, and hugged the lamb.
The lamb also felt a strange warmth. It could not help but shake the snow on its neck and burrow into Ah Yu’s arms.
It seemed to treat Little Ah Yu as its mother.
The little lamb was just behind a large rock, and there was a gap in between it.
It didn’t know why it wanted to come here either.
Ah Yu was about to leave.
At this moment, they suddenly heard a loud crack. Something had fallen from high above.
With a bang, the thing hit the huge rock.
Then, the thing rolled a few times and actually rolled into the gap, right in front of Ah Yu.
It was a person wrapped in a layer of snow. A portion of the snow had already fallen off, revealing his black clothes.
This person had completely fainted and his body was stiff.
[It’s too late to call for help. Feed him a spoonful of water first.]
Little Ah Yu shook her head.
No way.
She did not give water to people she did not know.
Even Mother and Grandma had yet to drink it.
[Do you know that you have to save him? He’s very important.]
Meatball guided her patiently.
[This person is a plot character. Do you know what a plot character is? Ah—Bah! How would you know? It’s—]
Meatball thought for a long time and thought of something. [Someone who will treat your Grandma and Mother very well.]
Little Ah Yu did not believe it.
Don’t bully her for being uneducated. Her mind was spinning now. She knew that she had never seen this person before.
If she had never seen him before, she could not be good to him.
She remembered everything her mother had said.
Meatball felt that it was going to die of exasperation. It felt that it could not communicate with kids.
Other four-year-old brats had at least enrolled in school. The smarter ones had already started competing globally.
This kid was also four years old, but she had just recovered to an intelligence level of around two-plus-years-old. At best, her intelligence was around the standard of a three years old!
However, before Meatball could think of a solution, there was another loud bang outside. Something smashed down.
[…It’s over!] It’s an avalanche!
The little lamb, the little person, and that person were all buried. The small crack that they were in became the only living s.p.a.ce.
In order to save energy, it had turned off the exterior perception function and so it did not discover any signs of an avalanche.
Actually, there was nothing it could do even if it’d discovered it early. Even if he told Little Ah Yu in advance, with her small arms and legs, she could at most run ten feet away. It was safer to stay here.
This time, it had no choice but to crazily consume the energy of love to increase the heat shield for Little Ah Yu.
Looking at the person who was about to freeze to death, Meatball was very stingy and only gave him a portion to protect his heart and ensure that he did not freeze to death.
[Just leave it to fate. I have to protect the little brat first.]
It was impossible for it to mobilize more energy. When Ah Yu officially obtained the authority to manage the spatial pocket in the future, if not specifically granted any further rights, the area it could operate would be even smaller.
For example, it could not move the Myriad Spirit Water.
On the other side, the loud noise also woke up the sleeping villagers.
s were not common, but it was not unheard of. When the snow sealed the mountain, the snow on the mountain would become too thick. If one did not handle it well, it was very easy for the snow to crash down.
It was also snowing heavily like this the year before last. That was how the few juniors who went out to look for food died.
In the bedroom of the main hall, Old Madam w.a.n.g sat up immediately. When she heard her husband’s loud cries, she grabbed his waist.
“Why are you still sleeping! Go outside and take a look. Did something happen?!” Old Madam w.a.n.g cursed. “You only know how to sleep all day long. You lie down and sleep during the day and do the same at night. Why don’t you just go and lie down in the coffin!”
Old man w.a.n.g, who had been woken up, was dumbfounded. Looking at his surroundings, he knew that it was still dark. He was even more depressed. “Old woman, what madness are you having again?”
“Madness? Madness?!” Old Madam w.a.n.g kicked Old man w.a.n.g’s b.u.t.t. “You’re really good at talking nonsense all day. I’m asking you to go and take a look. I’m very worried. Did something happen? Hold up an oil lamp and go take a look. Hurry up! Put on my coat.”
Old man w.a.n.g was unwilling, but his wife would not give up until she achieved her goal. How could she let him slack off? He could only stand up angrily.
Madam Feng from the eldest branch had also woken up early. When she heard the commotion and was about to get up, w.a.n.g Chuanfu grabbed her shoulder. “I’ll go take a look. You’ve been tired all day. Rest well.”
Madam Ma from the second branch had just laid down beside w.a.n.g Chuangui. w.a.n.g Chuangui could not sleep well at night, and she had also suffered.
“Don’t go out first. It’s cold and dark outside. If you go, Mom might still nag you about this.” w.a.n.g Chuangui comforted his wife. “There’s no need to go now. Mom won’t blame you.”
The third branch’s Madam Zhang had a carefree personality and liked to join in the fun. She had already put on her clothes before Old Madam w.a.n.g spoke.
Before w.a.n.g Chuanyuan could say anything, she said, “Don’t get up. Your pants and clothes are all on me. You don’t have anything to wear.”
w.a.n.g Chuanyuan :”…”
As for w.a.n.g Chuanman and Liu Shi, they were originally still in a daze. Liu Shi suddenly woke up and touched the spot on the bed beside her. There was only warmth in the blanket.
Where was the child?
“Ah Yu!!!” Madam Liu’s face was filled with fear as she shouted at the top of her lungs.
Now, the entire w.a.n.g Family knew that Little Ah Yu had disappeared!
How did such a young person disappear?!
Old man w.a.n.g fumbled around and lit the oil lamp before covering it with a windproof cover. He looked around the various rooms in the house but did not find the girl.
The Fifth Son was more intuitive. When he got up, he vaguely saw some small footprints in the courtyard.
“Look, aren’t those Little Sister Yu’s footprints?”
Everyone took a look. That was right. There was more than a string of small footprints on the ground. They could tell that they belonged to the little lamb and Ah Yu.
“This child probably saw the lamb run away and so she went out barefoot. G.o.d, it’s so cold—”
Liu Shi’s face instantly turned even paler than the snow. When she saw the footprints, she gritted her teeth and rushed out.
She did not care if she could see the road outside.
“Ah Yu!”
“Ah Yu!”
Liu Shi shouted as she ran.
The others also reacted. w.a.n.g Chuanfu went to the kitchen first. He did not care if it was a waste or not as he used the snake oil to make a few torches. The three brothers each shared one, and the older boys shared one.
“It doesn’t matter if you find her or not. You must return after searching a mile at most. You can’t go too far!” w.a.n.g Chuanfu reminded them.
The eldest son nodded. “Father, don’t worry. I’ll watch over my brothers.”
As soon as the commotion became loud, the others in the village also heard it. When they learned that Little Ah Yu had disappeared, everyone stopped sleeping and lit torches to look for her.
At this juncture, if they were a little late, the child might be gone.
As for how they would spend the oil on the torches, they couldn’t care less.
“Ah Yu!”
“Ah Yu, where are you?”
“Ah Yu!”
The shouts of the villagers echoed throughout the mountain.
Before long, everyone discovered something unusual.
“Oh my G.o.d, there was an avalanche here!”
“I was wondering why there was so much noise—no one lives here, do they?”
“We’ve been searching for a long time. Could Ah Yu…”
Liu Shi’s legs went weak and she fell to the ground. In the next moment, she immediately got up and began to dig through the thick snow with her bare hands.
“Ah Yu, don’t be afraid. Mother is here, Mother is here—”
In the pile of snow, Ah Yu was also digging. However, the snow that landed in her palm was no longer so cold. However, after digging for a long time, she only dug a small hole. Moreover, her little arms were tired.
The lamb also helped at the side. Its four hooves kicked the snow everywhere.
Ah Yu was originally a little tired from digging when she suddenly heard someone calling her.
She instantly perked up and craned her neck, her ears perking up.
Her eyes lit up. It was Mother’s voice!
“Mother, I’m here!” Ah Yu curled her hand around her mouth and shouted in a random direction.
