Chapter 331: Snow piled up as high as the house

"Is this the mute girl's home?" Wen Yan looked at the house and swallowed.

Ying Zhilin also frowned. "The clan leader had it repaired years ago. I guess the foundation of the house is too old and can't withstand the strong winds and heavy snow."

"This house looks too dangerous. Just to be on the safe side, we should move the mute sister and mother-in-law out first. It's too dangerous to live in it."

"Okay." Ying Zhilin responded and came to the door.

Ying Zhilin went to knock on the door.

I knocked several times, but there was no response from inside the house.

"Just kick the door."

Ying Zhilin kicked without any hesitation.

With a loud bang, the door fell to the ground.

Immediately, a heart-wrenching cough was heard from the room.

"Grandma, are you okay?" Ying Zhilin rushed in and helped the person up. "The house is dangerous. I'll carry you out first."

Ying Zhilin squatted beside the bed. Wen Yan helped the old man onto Ying Zhilin's back, then pulled the soft quilt on the bed and draped it over the old man.

"Okay, let's go." Wen Yan urged.

Ying Zhilin walked out carrying someone on his back.

Wen Yan saw a new quilt and a new coat on the bed, so she picked them up and followed Ying Zhilin out the door.

The two ran to a safe distance before slowing down.

Wen Yan looked back at the low thatched house and walked home with Ying Zhilin.

After arriving home, the fifth grandma learned that Wen Yan had carried the mute sister grandma back, and immediately asked Ying Zhilin to settle her in her house.

Ying Zhilin quickly advised: "There is still a spare room at home, we can just light another kang."

Grandma Wu said, "In weather like this, I don't know how much firewood and charcoal we'll have to burn later. Anything we can save is a little."

The fifth mother-in-law was determined, and Ying Zhilin couldn't disobey her, so she could only arrange for the mute sister mother-in-law to go over.

After settling the two elderly people, Wen Yan curiously asked Ying Zhilin, "Why didn't you agree to the two mothers-in-law living in the same room?"

Ying Zhilin sighed and said helplessly: "The two mothers-in-law are cousins. They have had different personalities since childhood and grew up quarreling with each other."

"Fifth Grandma still quarrels with others!" Wen Yan was shocked.

Ying Zhilin smiled and said, "You also find it incredible, don't you? Fifth Granny is gentle and reserved, getting along well with everyone except this cousin. When they were young, she would kick any dog ​​from either family that passed by her."

Wen Yan held back her laughter, she really couldn't imagine that kind of situation.

Wen Yan got into bed immediately after returning to the room. Seeing Ying Zhilin standing at the end of the bed without moving, she asked him curiously, "Aren't you going to rest?"

"You go to sleep first. I'll go to the clan leader's house. It's snowing so heavily, maybe I can be of use." Ying Zhilin brushed aside her scattered hair and resisted the urge to kiss her forehead.

"Then be careful." Wen Yan always felt that his eyes were too hot, so she quickly closed her eyes and covered her head with the quilt.

"Have a good night." Ying Zhilin said in a gentle voice and blew out the candle.

The room fell into darkness.

Ying Zhilin tucked the corner of the quilt for her, gave her a feather-light kiss on the forehead through the quilt, and then got up and left.

The door closed, separating them into two worlds.

The house is warm as spring.

The wind and frost outside are fierce.

He covered his heart, which was full, making him feel that the strong wind and snow outside were not scary.

He put on his cloak and strode into the wind and snow.

Perhaps because she had resolved the uneasiness in her heart, Wen Yan fell asleep quickly.

She slept until she woke up naturally and found that it was still dark outside the window.

The howling north wind is still howling.

Is it still daybreak?

She turned over and found that the seat next to her was empty and the quilt was cold.

Should you know that Lin didn't come back all night?

Nothing will happen to anyone in the village, right?

She rolled over in the warm bed, stretched contentedly, and got up swiftly.

After changing her clothes and washing up, she took the water for washing her face and poured it out.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the door was opened, snow half a person's height poured in.

Wen Yan was unable to dodge and was buried in the snow, falling to the ground.

Fortunately, the new snow was soft and she was not injured. Although the water for washing her face was splashed on her, it froze before it touched her body.

She struggled to climb out of the snow pile, and then she found a beam of light coming out from under the eaves outside the door.

It turns out that it wasn’t dawn.

Instead, the snow piled up to the eaves, blocking out the sunlight outside.

Wen Yan was a commoner, and according to regulations, the eaves height generally could not exceed two meters.

In other words, it snowed heavily last night and the snow piled up to two meters high.

The disaster was even more serious than Wen Yan remembered.

In her previous life, she married Huo Yaoxing and lived in the Mansion of Marquis Jinping.

The masters in the marquis's mansion are all conceited and arrogant.

How could they let the snow pile up to the eaves? It would make them look poor.

He sent people to clear the snow for twelve hours without stopping.

Therefore, Wen Yan only knew that the snow disaster was serious in his previous life, but he didn't know it was so serious.

She stood up and brushed off the snow on her body. She wanted to climb out of the snow to see what was going on outside.

Unexpectedly, she missed a step and fell into a pile of powder snow.

The powder snow was soft and Wen Yan had no leverage. The more she struggled, the deeper she fell.

Being stuck in a pile of powder snow, especially such a high one, it is difficult to move and it is difficult to rescue yourself.

She wanted to scream for help, but ended up taking a big mouthful of cold powder snow when she opened her mouth.

Powder snow can easily block breathing and cause suffocation.

Oh my God, curiosity really killed the cat. She just wanted to see the scenery, but she didn't expect to hurt herself.

She held her breath and tried hard to think of ways to save herself.

At this moment, she suddenly felt her collar tighten and someone pulled her out of the snow pile.

As soon as she got out of the snow pile, she quickly brushed the snow off her face and took a deep breath.

"Here, use it to wipe your face." Ying Zhilin handed over a handkerchief.

Wen Yan wiped her face and then thanked him.

Wen Yan saw that he looked tired and his eyes were bloodshot. "You just came back now? But the situation in the village is serious?"

Ying Zhilin said: "Several houses in the village have collapsed."

"It's so serious! Are there any casualties?"

"Fortunately, there were no casualties." Ying Zhilin took out a shovel from somewhere and started shoveling snow.

He shoveled a path in the yard and used a ladder to clear the roof.

Wen Yan was not idle. She followed him to climb onto the roof and found that Uncle Kang was also bringing people to clean the roofs of the main courtyard and the west wing.

She turned around and finally saw the situation of the village clearly.

The entire Songshan Village was submerged in snow, and the fields and roads were buried.

Only a few swept roofs and white treetops are occasionally visible.

The heavy snow was still falling. After four nights and three days, not only the village but also the entire valley could be filled up.

Wen Yan sighed and began to deal with the snow.

You should know that Lin Fu'e is in trouble.

This young lady of his really is... someone who wants to join in all the fun.

But seeing that she was having fun, I couldn't bear to stop her.

Forget it, I'll just distract myself and keep a closer eye on her to prevent anything from happening to her.

The roof and corridor were quickly cleaned, and Hui Niang also prepared breakfast.

Everyone was hungry and tired, and were sitting together eating when Clan Leader Ying came to the door with a shy look on his face.
