"Have you forgotten how long we fell down the snow?" Chen Yu reminded him. "According to my estimate, we fell for at least ten seconds. Considering the density and thickness of the snow here, a depth of 50 meters is not an exaggeration."

Upon hearing this, Lin Lele recalled the terrifying scene from just now and felt a wave of fear wash over her.

She nodded, indicating that she accepted the explanation.

"That's not right. The snow outside is usually more than ten meters deep, so why is it more than 30 meters deep here?" Lin Lele suddenly thought of something, her brows furrowed, and she looked at Chen Yu with a puzzled expression.

Instead of answering Lin Lele directly, Chen Yu asked in return, "When you were up there, did you notice anything unusual?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Lele frowned and began to ponder, recalling all the details she had seen on the snow.

“Hmm… I remember the snow surface was very uneven, with almost no undulations, as if it had been artificially treated,” Lin Lele said slowly. “Moreover, there were many small pebbles on the snow surface, which seems a bit illogical.”

"Not bad! You've improved." Chen Yu nodded approvingly. "Natural snow could never contain pebbles."

"Have you noticed that the mountains on both sides are completely bare of snow?" Chen Yu continued to remind him.

"Oh, why is that?" Lin Lele thought about it carefully. Indeed, as Chen Yu said, the snow on the hillside they passed on their way here did not accumulate naturally like on the plain. Instead, it appeared unusually flat, and in some places, the snow had even revealed the original color of the mountain.

"I understand now, it was the villagers here who transported the snow from the mountaintop to here?" Lin Lele exclaimed in surprise.

"Hehe, you can understand it that way too." Chen Yu smiled slightly. "To be precise, it wasn't that they transported the snow here, but rather that the snow on the mountain collapsed under their guidance."

"Avalanche!" Lin Lele exclaimed in surprise.

Chen Yu nodded slightly.

"But why would they do that? Isn't more than ten meters of snow enough to cover their village? Why do they have to deliberately add another ten meters?" Lin Lele asked, puzzled.

"Naturally, it's for the sake of living better." Chen Yu said, his eyes slightly narrowed as he stared at the room he was in, overwhelmed with mixed feelings, as if he were lost in distant memories.
