After an unknown amount of time, the rumbling overhead finally stopped, but no one dared to open the cellar door now.

The four children were all nestled next to their mother. Lin Cuilan hugged them and comforted them softly: "Don't be afraid, my mother is here."

Father Su thought about how an avalanche occurred not long after the fourth child and his family walked out. From the sounds of it, the avalanche was bigger and more ferocious than before!

I don't know how they are doing now.

But don't let anything happen.

Although the fourth child was kicked out by Mrs. Su, in Mr. Su's heart, he was his son after all.

"I'll go out and take a look and see what's going on."

After speaking, Father Su went to push the cellar door open.

But he spent almost all his energy feeding, but the cellar door still didn't move at all.

He put his face against the crack in the door and looked out.

All I saw outside was a vast expanse of white, and I couldn't see anything clearly.

"This door seems to be blocked by something. I can't push it alone. We have to push it together!"

Trapping so many people in a small cellar is not an option. The longer the time goes by, the air in the cellar will become thinner, and people will die by then!

Mrs. Su obviously understood the stakes involved. It was rare that she did not dissent from Mr. Su, but instead put her hand on the wooden door.

Lin Cuilan also extended her hand.

Although the children were weak, they all put their hands up.

Father Su shouted, "Three, two, one, push!"

Several people worked hard at the same time.

The stuck wooden door was finally pushed open with everyone's efforts.

Father Su climbed out of the cellar first.

Seeing the scene in front of him, he was so shocked that he could hardly speak a complete sentence.

"Old, old, old lady, come on, come on!"

Mrs. Su frowned impatiently, "Why are you stuttering? It's just an avalanche. What a big deal."

She also climbed out along the wooden ladder.

Seeing the scene in front of her, she opened her mouth and forgot to close it.

Afterwards, Su Qingchen crawled out of the cellar first, then stretched out his hand, "Ruanruan, grab brother's hand quickly."

"Um!"

Su Ruanruan stretched out her little hand, which was held tightly by Su Qingchen.

Behind her, her mother and brothers were supporting her.

It took the cooperation of four people to successfully pull her out of the cellar.

Su Ruanruan raised her head after standing firm. Seeing the unfamiliar scenes around her, she couldn't help but rub her eyes.

What's the big deal? Where's the home? Where's the house? Why is it all gone?

Following Su Ruoran's line of sight, she saw that where the house should have been, there was only a vast expanse of white, and all the houses and courtyard walls were swallowed up by the avalanche.

Many people who hid in the cellar in time crawled out of the cellar after hearing that there was no sound outside.

But when they saw everything in front of them, everyone seemed to have aphasia all of a sudden and froze there.

Someone stumbled forward a few steps, and his voice was indescribably sad, "Where is home? Where is our home?"

A rare avalanche completely destroyed this village located at the foot of the mountain.

Everyone only thinks of one word, it's over!

Kaoshan Village is completely finished!

Lao Lizheng couldn't believe that the village he had guarded all his life was gone.

"God, you are unfair!"

Suddenly, someone covered his face and cried bitterly.

The sound of crying seemed to be contagious, one after another, they all cried loudly.

The sobs were carried by the wind and spread far away.

Mrs. Su took a few steps forward in disbelief. The area that was supposed to be her yard was now completely buried in snow.

"This...this..."

She immediately collapsed on the ground.

It's over.

Completely finished.

Father Su searched everywhere for traces of the fourth child and his family, but he looked around and couldn't see the fourth child.

Could it be that the fourth child was...could it be...

He looked at the ground covered with a thick layer of snow, and an ominous premonition rose in his heart.

When Su Ruanruan saw her family being so sad, her heart ached.

So this is what heartache feels like?

"Nai, stop crying, you're making me want to cry."

Madam Su wiped her red eyes and held the little Ruanruan in her arms, "My poor baby, how will we live in the future?"

Lao Li cleared his throat in the cold wind.

"Everyone, can you listen to what I have to say?"

Everyone walked towards the direction where Lao Li was.

Everyone's faces were stained with tears dried by the wind.

Li Zheng is now the backbone in their eyes.

As long as the backbone remains strong, there is always hope.

Lao Li was feeling unhappy when he saw everyone was so sad, "Now, we have two ways."

"First, let's find as many useful things as possible and escape to the south!"

"Second, the rest of us unite and build a shelter first. As long as we survive this winter, I believe that with our strength, the village will be rebuilt!"

Lao Lizheng was already prepared for most people to leave, but after waiting for a long time, no one moved.

"Everyone..."

"Uncle Li Zheng, let's stay!"

"Yes, let's stay!"

Many young people in the village have left their hometown, and most of those who remain are the old, weak, sick and disabled.

It's not a problem for those in good health to leave here, but what about these old people?

If they leave, these old, weak, sick and disabled people will definitely die!

"Okay, okay!" Mr. Li Zhenglao burst into tears, "The men from the village we rely on have to take responsibility!"

Su Qingchen glanced at Su Ruanruan, then walked to the front bravely, and said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone: "Grandpa Li Zheng, I have a suggestion."

Lao Li said gently: "Qingchen, tell me."

After receiving permission, he slowly said: "I think the top priority now is to quickly build a shelter. There is sun during the day, so it won't feel too cold. Once night falls, the temperature drops sharply. If everyone doesn't have a house to live in, they will definitely be frozen.

Damn it!"

What Su Qingchen said is not false at all!

There is sunshine during the day and the temperature is not that cold.

Once the sun sets and the temperature drops sharply, without shelter, I don’t know how many people will freeze to death that night!

Lao Li nodded happily, Qingchen is now more responsible, just like his father back then!

"Everyone, Qing Chen is right, now is not the time to be sad, our top priority is to build a shelter quickly!"

Several able-bodied men in the village immediately took over the task of building the shelter.

Lao Li was arranging for a group of people to go to the mountain to cut down trees and collect branches.

Another group of people were arranged to search for survivors.

Su Ruanruan and the others were young, while Father Su and Madam Su were older, so they were assigned to join the branch-picking team.

Su Ruanruan picked it up vigorously, and after a while, she picked up a large bundle of branches and handed them all to Su Qingchen to carry on her back.

Even though his not-so-wide back was bent by the weight of the branches, Su Qingchen still asked: "Ruanruan, are you tired from walking? If you are tired, can you let me carry you?"
