Chapter 875: Digging her out ——2
===============
When Shen Li and Ye Liu heard Yu Dong's voice, they hesitated but in the end, they still decided to follow her orders as Shen Li turned to look at Chen Mi and the rest before saying, " I will go and bring those things here, you all stay with Dong Dong and keep an eye on things, if possible continue to dig the snow that way she will be out soon, all right?"
" We understand," even though their hands were getting numb after digging in the snow, Chen Mi and the rest agreed without bothering about the numbing sensation of their hands instead they all continued with their work, on the other hand, Shen Li rushed towards the bunker where the livestock which were guided by little calf and the goat which were raised by Yu Mai.
Shen Li hurried over to the animals which were standing on the side before he found the groundhogs and then turned to look at the women of the village and asked, " Bring them with you, Dong Dong said that they can dig the snow much faster than a human."
As for whether or not she was in the right, Shen Li had no idea. He hoped that what Yu Dong had in mind would truly work because he really could not understand how these small things would be able to save those who were buried in the snow.
Village head Gu who was standing on the side also agreed because they were in a hurry they did not pick up the hoe in their houses and simply rushed outside. Now that they had no equipment in their hands this was the only thing that they could do!
The other villagers were hesitating at first but then they too decided to go and help the Yu family.
They snapped out of their dream and then said one after another,
" That's right, didn't these things climb out of the ground, surely they will be able to dig much better than us."
" Yes, Yes but we cannot leave it to these things alone we should go and help out too, the snow is not melted and it might not be as cold as the melted snow. We can still use our hands to dig the snow, all right?"
" Everyone let's go and dig it along with Master Shen and the rest, we can't leave the kids alone, anyway, right?"
Someone in the crowd sighed and nodded, " That's right, Yu Dong is the only one who knows how to hunt in here without her, how will we hunt animals? The roasted elk meat was so delicious, if we want to eat more meat then we need to save Yu Dong."
The woman who spoke was a chubby woman and everyone knew that she liked eating the most which was why they were not surprised by her words at all but because of the woman's words, the last bit of hesitation that some women had in their hearts vanished at once.
That's right, if they wanted to survive, they needed Yu Dong! If she dies then how will they survive in this situation? What was more Yu Dong was the one who helped them when they were in trouble including selling them grains at a cheap price such that they could feed their kids and mers, they could not be ingrates.
All of them owed a favour to the Yu family. How many times their mers had gone over to the Yu family and asked for goat and sheep milk? They never returned with an empty bowl!
Although Yu Dong was buried in the snow it was only because she was trying to save everyone in the village because Li Hanjing was pregnant and could not run she stayed with him to keep him safe if she wanted she could have ignored Li Hanjing and rushed ahead with her mers who were first to reach the bunker in fact even this bunker which was made far from the heart of the village was built under Yu Dong's guidance.
There was no way they could leave such a good woman alone in the snow to die!
The villagers were not born as saints but they knew that without Yu Dong it will not take them a long time to freeze to death and die. Which was why they decided to charge ahead along with the rest of the villagers.
Soon, the entire village along with the mers and the children rushed ahead and then started to dig into the snow. Yu Dong guided the groundhogs which were under the influence of spiritual energy and told them how to dig and where were the weak spots.
Yu Dong guided the villagers while looking at Li Hanjing who was crying in pain. She did not feel irritated instead she very calmly patted him on the back, " It's all right you will be out in just a while, just wait a few more minutes." As she spoke she did not forget to instil some of her spiritual energy into Li Hanjing's womb, she was worried that the child will die out of suffocation if it was left alone.
She patted Li Hanjing on the back as she continued to speak, " Be good…you will be fine."
" You still need to meet your child, so hold on, all right?"
" You will be fine, you hear that? That is Xiao Hua's voice he is calling you."
The little calf along with the groundhogs and the goat continued to dig while letting out a moo sound. The four hooves stomped on the ground which was piled with snow as he stubbornly moved his hooves and tried to dig as much snow as he could.
" I...I can't hold on…" Li Hanjing really did not wish to trouble Yu Dong but he really could not hold on anymore, the child was pushing its way outside and even if he wished to stay put this was not something that he could manage!
Yu Dong was at a loss for words as she turned to look at the thinning snow and then shouted, " Brother Hanjing is getting close to giving birth what am I supposed to do?"
Her shout startled the women and mers outside, Li Hanjing was going to give birth? At this moment!?
