Chapter 296: Chapter 296: Aftermath of the Avalanche

“Ye Lei! ”

Zhang Peng’s eyes widened, instinctively wanting to rush into the avalanche area, but he was firmly held back by two fellow villagers behind him.

“Zhang Peng, don’t go! It’s dangerous over there! Don’t go!”

Zhang Peng desperately struggled to break free from the two people desperately dragging him: “Let go! Let me go! I have to save him! Let go!”

After a good struggle, Zhang Peng finally broke free from the two people’s restraint and rushed like a madman towards the direction Di Yelei was in.

Finally swallowing the small ants ahead, the Snow Dragon, like a well-fed dragon, finally calmed down, with only occasional thunders shaking and gradually subsiding.

The beautiful and pure Snow Dragon undulated, reflecting a dazzling radiance in the faint sunlight in the sky, almost blinding the eyes of several people.

Zhang Peng ran quickly to the edge of the avalanche, not caring about anything, and began to desperately shovel the accumulated snow.

“Ye Lei, Ye Lei, you must be alright! Ye Lei hold on! You must hold on! I promised Hongyuan to take good care of you, Ye Lei…”

Zhang Peng didn’t care about anything, and quickly dug through the accumulated snow.

The two villagers who followed behind saw Zhang Peng’s behavior and hurriedly tried to dissuade him: “Zhang Peng, stop it! The Mountain Gods are angry! We haven’t heard of anyone surviving an avalanche! Let’s go! If the Mountain Gods get angry again, it’ll be even worse!”

“Let go! If you’re afraid, just leave. If you’re my brothers, help me dig right now! Alive, I want to see people; dead, I want to see bodies. I’ll never go back empty-handed!”

After Zhang Peng finished speaking, he quickly dug through the accumulated snow.

Two fellow villagers exchanged a glance and then came forward to help dig through the accumulated snow.

Two other villagers who had escaped in time also came over to help dig through the snow.

Together, the sound of digging through the accumulated snow was the only thing that could be heard by the five people.

In the house, everyone who had been talking suddenly stopped and listened carefully to the direction from which the loud noise came.

Liu Sisi’s face turned pale, her heart clenched, and at the moment, her eyes were dazed.

“Ouch!”

She hurriedly dropped the kitchen knife, and just as she was distracted, her finger was cut deeply by the knife edge.

“What’s wrong? Did you cut your hand? Let me see, stop the bleeding first.”

Guihua was in a panic.

Liu Sisi’s absent gaze did not recover, her face pale as a sheet.

“Sister Guihua…”

Her voice trembled, “Old Man Li ran away last night! Ye Lei went into the mountains to chase him, and Big Brother Zhang was chasing after them on the main road, but he didn’t find anyone, and then he went into the mountains too!”

Guihua looked surprised, her hands beginning to tremble: “You… you mean…?”

“What I mean is, I don’t know if the loud noise coming from the other side of the mountain at the moment is made by Di Yelei and the others!”

Liu Sisi’s hands tightly gripped Guihua’s, her strength so great that she didn’t even notice it herself.

“It’s not them, it’s definitely not them! That sound just now… That sound was clearly the Mountain Gods getting angry, how could it be them…”

Guihua’s face was frantic, denying it constantly.

But the sudden change in her face color revealed many issues.

“I hope it’s not them, but… but Old Man Li is cunning and scheming, he…”
