Chapter 35: Charcoal in the Snow

A false alarm.

The two herdsmen were sent away, and the three of them worked together to close the tarpaulin again.

Jumping in the car, I just felt colder.

The car door had been open for so long, and the little heat that had accumulated had been blown away long ago, and even the seat cushions felt cold.

Fan Yanghe was better without a door, wrapped in a military coat, Zhao Guangming was miserable, a thin layer of blankets, shivering from the cold.

In a short time, a fine snow began to fall in the sky.

"It's miserable, it's miserable, I have to freeze to death here today. ”

Fan Yang and the two of them, wrapped in military coats, couldn't stand the cold feet, and the two of them curled up in their seats, feeling colder and colder.

When I poured the water out of the thermos, it was almost cold.

A bad feeling crept into their hearts, and the three of them began to become anxious.

Seeing the snow outside the window, getting heavier and heavier, Zhao Guangming put his hands together, faced the back of the carriage, and bowed again and again: "Bodhisattva bless, Bodhisattva bless, don't go down,"

Looking at him like that, he asked, "What's wrong?"

"What's the matter, if the snow closes the mountain, we will definitely die here. ”

"No, man. "Although I am bold, I can't calm down.

"No, it's been a few months. Fan Yang also said a little suspiciously.

"I hope not...... What can I do......"

I couldn't sleep, I was so cold that I was flustered, and I was so hungry that I couldn't bear it.

The three of them didn't even have the interest to speak, so they were struggling there.

"What time is it?"

"9:50."

After a while, Zhao Guangming asked again, "What time is it?"

"It's only 10:20. ”

"Oh, it's too hard, by the way, what do you have with poker?"

"Nope. ”

"It's over. ”

After a while, he asked again, "What time is it?"

"It's almost 1 o'clock. ”

Zhao Guangming was already shivering from the cold, and when Fan Yang saw this, he changed his military coat for him.

But after a while, I felt like I was going to be cold, it was too thin.

I started to regret it a little.

Not only regretted giving the military coat to Zhao Guangming, but also regretted a little that in this era, he rashly ran into the Tibetan area, and there were indeed too many unpredictable risks.

But then I thought about it, I had suffered so much in my previous life, what was this.

After a while, Zhao Guangming began to complain about the driver again.

One moment said that the driver left himself here, and then complained that the broken car was not angry, and then said that the driver was not kind and even pulled out the key.

Turning his head to see what was missing, he found that although he was also shivering from the cold, he didn't complain.

Looking at his eyes, it was quite normal, and he looked at Fan Yang without any dodging.

I don't know if it's because of the big heart or what, but this character can't help but make Fan Yang appreciate it a little more.

He is still a man who can suffer.

I don't know if we can be rich and prosperous together in the future.

At night on the high mountain, there is not even a single insect call, there is no wind, the snow is falling slowly, so quiet that a needle can be heard, it can be described as silent, a bend of the moon gradually drilled out of the dark clouds, illuminating the mountains on all sides are miserable and white, fortunately the snow slowly stopped, although the vision is better, but still feel scary.

Zhao Guangming rummaged around in the cab, but the driver didn't know if he took it away or what, and there was not even a flashlight in the cab.

"Ah, this driver, I really want Lao Tzu's life, why can't I come up yet, hey, I'm dying. ”

Zhao Guangming was thinking about it again, and after a while, he saw the rearview mirror of the truck, and a little light came out again.

"It's coming, is the driver back?"

The sudden flash of light in the middle of the night made the three of them excited all of a sudden, and they couldn't care about the cold, so they jumped out of the car one after another.

"But no, it's coming down from the mountains?"

"Could it be those two herdsmen?"

"Well, it seems to be, oops, it's really ......"

for they heard the jingling of horses again.

Zhao Guangming jumped on the side of the road and shouted loudly: "Friend, friend, friend on the mountain?

"It's me. "It's me. "It's my ......"

The herdsman's voice echoed through the valley, stirring the three of them.

"It's saved, it's saved, but my life is almost lost. ”

After a while, the same oil lamp, hanging from the horse's neck, came over with a kick.

The three of them hurriedly greeted them.

The herdsman was found to have snow on his shoulders and hat, without a pair of gloves, with a pocket hanging from the back of the horse's buttocks, and an object in his hand.

Jumping off the horse, he opened the lid of the object in his hand, a basket to be exact.

The three of them were so happy that they almost cried.

They never imagined that the herdsmen would bring them a brazier.

It is the brazier burned by the old people in the countryside, the outside is a basket, the inside is a clay pot, and a red furnace of coke is burning inside, and a stream of hot water comes out.

The three of them pounced, eager to hold the basket in their arms, this long-lost warmth came at the right time.

"Send charcoal in the snow, really send charcoal in the snow, brother, do you still want cement? Pull it all away, my God, thank you, big brother, I don't even know what to say......

"Enough, enough, cement, just, don't want, come, come, and, mutton. ”

The herdsman jumped off his horse and took off the back pocket of the horse's ass.

It contained at least more than ten catties of cooked mutton.

"My God, you shouldn't have been sent down by the Bodhisattva on the mountain to save us. Zhao Guangming was so excited that he took it and took a hard bite.

Fan Yang and Missing also took a piece of it, although they only put a little salt, but at this time, it was indescribably delicious when they were eaten in their mouths.

"Roast it, it's delicious. The herdsman took out a Tibetan knife from his waist, and the four of them sliced the mutton thinly on the snow and spread it on the coals and roasted it.

The grease came out, freeing up a stream of aroma, and I suddenly felt that the barren mountains and mountains were not so difficult.

"Gone, friend. ”

After eating a few pieces, the herdsman stood up and led the horse to leave.

"Don't worry, brother, play for a while before leaving. Zhao Guangming said.

"Gone, gone. ”

"Brother, you live on the top of the mountain?" Zhao Guangming asked.

Suddenly, he exclaimed: "Oh brother, why don't we three come to your house for a night?" We can give money and pull cement, please." ”

"Wood has, I, too, on the mountainside, house. Instead of pointing to the top of the mountain, the herdsman pointed flat behind his back.

"On the mountainside, oh my God, you came over the mountain?"

"Definitely, if you want to go, let's go. The herdsman replied.

"Okay, let's go, hey, let's close the car door and go. ”

If there is no door, go and close the door.

But Fan Yang frowned and asked, "Then this friend, how long will it take to walk to your house?"

"One more, two hours. ”

"Two hours?"

The three of them stopped talking.

They never imagined that two bags of cement could make this herdsman brave the wind and snow and walk for more than two hours to deliver charcoal and meat to them.

I was so moved that I didn't know what to say.

And after hearing it for two hours, the three of them were deflated again.

The herdsman is riding a horse, the speed is necessarily much faster, and he wears thick clothes, and his physical fitness is good, and he is used to it, even if the three of them are wrapped in military coats, walking in the snow in the mountains for several hours, if there is a little altitude sickness, it is really bad to lose their lives.

"Thank you, brother, really, my brother remembers you, come to me in Kangding in the future, I will treat you well, no, wait, you wait for me, come and do me a favor." With that, Zhao Guangming went to the cab and got a screwdriver, and as soon as he pulled the tarpaulin, he was about to climb up the cargo box.

Missing a door and Fan Yang also followed to help.

Zhao Guangming climbed into the cargo box, took out a Buddha statue of Guanyin from his box, and solemnly handed it to the herdsman: "Bodhisattva bless you." ”

The herdsman shone on the oil lamp, saw that it was a statue of the Bodhisattva, hurriedly lay down, made a five-body bow to the ground, took it, read something in his mouth, put it in his arms, stayed for a while, and then rode away.
