As soon as it was dawn, Li Mei got up, and then went up the mountain to chop wood.

didn't wake up Xiaoxi, now Xiaoxi is still in the time of growing her body, and sleeping more is good for her body.

The roads in the mountains are bumpy, especially in winter, and they are so slippery that it is not easy to climb at all.

In the past, Xiaoxi's father would come home during the Chinese New Year, and he naturally did the work of chopping wood.

But now that he has left, and Li Mei didn't know in advance, there is not enough firewood at home.

So no matter how difficult it is now, you have to chop wood, knowing that firewood is equivalent to temperature.

In the winter without firewood, just relying on the temperature at home, I am afraid that they will not survive this winter.

Either starve to death or freeze to death.

Li Mei staggered up the hill, carrying a large basket on her back, and loading as much firewood as she could.

Although there are many trees on the mountain, each area is an area exclusive to each family.

Of course, it is impossible for Li Mei to cut down other people's trees, otherwise it will cause scolding and even disputes.

Li Mei didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble, not to mention that there was no man in her family now, and she was a head shorter than other people's families.

Even if they quarrel, they can't quarrel with others, not to mention that they are now quite criticized in the village.

After crossing a mountain, you will arrive at the area where Xiaoxi's house is now, although the area is not large, there are still many trees.

But Li Mei only selectively chops firewood and trees, and good trees are generally not cut down.

Good trees can generally be used to make cutting boards, as well as furniture and the like, and this kind of tree can be sold for a lot of money.

There are more than a dozen decades-old trees in this area, and Xiaoxi's father refused to cut down these trees and sell them for money.

Because of this area, these dozen or so trees can give Xiaoxi's family a feng shui.

Although these dozen or so trees have now grown into towering trees, they should be able to sell for a lot of money if they can be sold.

The 30-year-old willow trees of the dog Erwa in the next village were sold for 200 yuan.

Not to mention that these trees in Xiaoxi's house are much better than that tree in terms of color and age.

A tree can be sold for at least 400 yuan, but Li Mei never had the idea of selling it.

Even if it is difficult at home, I have never thought about it, just because this is what Xiaoxi's father told me thousands of times, and I can't sell it.

Even though Xiaoxi's father is now gone, Li Mei still has no idea of selling these trees.

It's not that Xiaoxi's family is rich now, but Li Mei still thinks about Xiaoxi's father's words.

Li Mei didn't even think about selling these trees, waiting until Li Mei cut off the branches of those extra branches.

Then I collected a basket full of baskets, and was ready to go down the mountain with satisfaction.

The way down the mountain is even more difficult because the trail is now deeply buried by the snow.

At this time, Li Meiming knew that it was unwise to go down the mountain, but there was no way, Xiaoxi was still at home.

What should I do if I meet a bad guy, so Li Mei walked step by step towards the footprints of the original road.

Li Mei walked more carefully, but because of the fact that she was carrying a basket, her center of gravity was a little unstable.

But Li Mei still quickly adjusted her position according to experience.

Then continued to walk slowly, and Xiaoxi had already gotten up at this time.

saw that there was no Li Mei in it, and then thought that the firewood that my mother said was not enough at the latest.

Then I saw that there was one less basket in the house, and I knew that my mother had gone to the mountains to chop firewood.

Although he knew, Xiao Xi didn't open the door to chase after him.

It's just because she knows her mother's thoughts, and Xiaoxi can't help even if she goes out.

Her small body can't carry things, and if she goes, she will cause trouble for her mother.

Seeing the heavy snow outside, as well as the road covered by ice and snow, Xiaoxi couldn't help but worry.

The roads in the village are covered with snow and ice.

Not to mention the trail in the mountains, which may no longer be visible at this point.

You can imagine how difficult it is to walk, but now Xiaoxi can only sit by the back door with a cake and wait for her mother to come back.

Li Mei was in a dilemma on the mountain at this time, and the road down the mountain became more and more difficult.

The snow outside was getting heavier and heavier, covering the entire road with a thick layer of snow, and as soon as you stepped down, you directly covered the whole foot.

The original footprints are now invisible, and fortunately, this is not the first time Li Mei has come here to chop wood.

She still remembered the way back, walking slowly, and there was a basket on her back, Li Mei's burden and pressure can be imagined.

Thinking of Xiaoxi, who was still at home at this time, Li Mei gritted her teeth and continued to move forward.

As soon as I crossed the mountain, I saw that my house was on top, and I was careless, and I stepped on the air.

Then Li Mei leaned down, rolled down directly, and hit a tree.

Li Mei somehow, her eyes darkened, and she closed her eyes.

Xiaoxi was still waiting at home at this time, and heard some movement on the back mountain.

But she didn't go out, she didn't know that now her mother had fallen under the tree.

After waiting for a while, Xiao Xi felt that something was wrong, in terms of time.

Mom has been gone for so long, even if she walks slowly, she should come back.

Besides, Xiaoxi knew that her mother didn't like to visit the door, and Xiaoxi had been to that road before, and there was no one on the road.

Xiaoxi felt that something was wrong, she hurriedly ran to the mountain, and as soon as she went up the mountain, she saw her mother's back basket under the tree.

The basket must have been on my mother's back, and now half of the basket was outside.

The other half was covered in snow and ice, and Mom must have been under the snow.

Xiaoxi ran directly to her mother's side, digging with her hands, digging hard.

Xiao Xi's hands had already been frozen to ice red and purple red, but he still didn't give up.

I finally threw my mother's body out of the snow.

But she didn't have the physical strength to help her mother carry her, not even to support her.

Looking at her mother, who was already unconscious, Xiaoxi had to go back to the yard again.

Then she went to the next family for help, although she didn't know if anyone else would help.

But now I can only do this to save my mother, otherwise the snow will fall so hard, and sooner or later I will freeze to death.

"Knock knock," Xiao Xi knocked on the door, and the early morning knock on the door would definitely be uncomfortable.

"Who, knocking on the door so early in the morning," opened the door and saw that it was Xiaoxi.

Seeing that there was no one else except Xiao Xi, the middle-aged woman pulled Xiao Xi into the room.

The room is quite warm, this is Xiaoxi's first impression.

"What's the matter, knocking on the door so early," said Xiao Xi.

"Auntie, save my mother, she slipped down the mountain," Xiaoxi couldn't help but sob.

She was a little at a loss for a while, she thought she was here to order rice or something.

But now she suddenly realized the seriousness of the matter, just looking at the goose feathers and snow flying outside.

Knowing the temperature outside, if it's too late, it will kill someone.

"Genzi, hurry, something happened, the Li Mei of the Han family next to him fell down from the mountain, go and save people. ”

"What, I fell down from the mountain, this is a big deal, Tuwazi, hurry up and save your father and me. ”

There was the sound of squirming and getting dressed in the room, and then two people came out.

A sturdy man should be the root of this aunt's mouth just now.

Another skinny boy is much taller than Xiaoxi, with dark skin, and should be a soil baby.

In the countryside, people are called by nicknames, and they are no exception.

"Take me quickly, it's too late, baby,, you go boil water, do you still have ginger at home? Make a bowl of ginger soup." ”

"It's such a cold day, why do you go up the mountain at this time? It's really dead," the uncle muttered.

But his hands and feet were sharp, he said he would go, braved the heavy snow to go to the back mountain, and followed Xiaoxi's footsteps.

When he arrived under this tree, Uncle Genzi knew that something was wrong as soon as he saw Li Mei.

Not to mention being unconscious, the whole body is stiff, which is obviously the reason for being frozen for a long time.

The complexion has turned purple, indicating that breathing may have been affected under the snow.

But it shouldn't be very serious, and now I just don't know if there are any internal injuries in the body.
