The heavy snow was flying in the wind. Compared with when we came, the snow had covered the entire road, making it even more difficult for the donkey cart to travel.

The donkey cart moved slowly, the wind grew stronger, the snowflakes became denser, and the vision became blurred. Li Erlang drove the donkey cart hard, trying to avoid potholes to avoid being trapped in the snow.

The howling cold wind and the accumulation of snow made it increasingly difficult for the donkey cart to move forward. Suddenly, there was a bump and the left wheel of the donkey cart sank into a small pit. The moving donkey cart lost control and skidded, and in an instant it overturned. Li Erlang's body was frozen by the cold wind and he failed to react in time, so he also fell off the frame!

A piercing pain spread from his ankle to his whole body. Li Erlang let out a breath and struggled to get up, but after trying several times, he fell back into the snow!

On the other side, Li Yan returned home with snow all over her head and face. When Mrs. Lin saw her daughter's red face from the cold, she immediately took a clean towel and went forward to wipe the snow off her face.

Lin asked worriedly, "Why did you come back alone? Where's your father?"

Li Yan took off her cap and brushed off the snowflakes on her body. While letting her mother help wipe the snow off her face, she told Lin about what happened at her aunt's house today: "Fortunately, the child received medical treatment in time, so he should be fine now!"

Lin: "I'm glad he's okay. I wonder if your father sent him home?"

Time passed by minute by minute, snowflakes kept falling, and Li Erlang felt as if he was in an endless world of ice and snow. He knew that it was not advisable to stay here for long. It would be more dangerous in the wilderness at night. Thinking of his family waiting for him, he gritted his teeth and climbed to the side of the donkey body with difficulty, groping to remove the frame and ride the donkey back!

The wind and snow blew violently on his face, as if mocking his persistence!

It gets dark especially quickly in winter. More than half an hour had passed, and Li Erlang had only untied one side of the rope. At this moment, Li Erlang's hands were frozen and numb, and he felt like he had fallen into an ice cave!

Li Xiaomei saw her sister-in-law standing in front of the door, staring at the door in a daze, and stepped forward to persuade her: "Sister-in-law, it's windy outside, don't stand at the door!"

Lin frowned and said worriedly, "I'm worried about your second brother. He should be home by now!"

Li Xiaomei stepped forward to support Lin and led her into the house. "Maybe Second Brother felt the snow was too strong and stayed behind?"

Lin shook her head. She knew her husband's character and he would never stay overnight at his brother's house just because of such a small snowstorm!

Li Yan was also very uneasy at the moment. According to the time, her father should be home by now. After listening to her mother's words, she stood up and said, "I'll go talk to grandpa and ask him to call someone to check it out!" After that, she got up and went to the next room.

Li Yan came to the next room and told Grandpa Li about her worries. Grandpa Li immediately stood up and said, "Kid, why do you come here to talk to me now? It's getting dark now. I'll go find the clan leader and bring more people, and then I'll go find your father!" After that, he hurried away.

Seeing Mr. Li so flustered, Li Yan also became anxious. Li Dalang, who was standing beside her, patted Li Yan's shoulder soothingly: "Don't worry, maybe it's delayed!"

Li Yan showed a smile that was uglier than crying. She shouldn't have come back alone at that time!
