Tongpen Village, named because the topography resembles an inverted copper basin, is surrounded by cliffs, and only a rope bridge about 100 meters long connects to the outside world.

According to statistics, there are about 100 households in the village, with a total of about 3 or 400 people, but due to the pressure of life, almost all the young and middle-aged people work outside, so the more than 200 people left behind in the village are basically old, weak, sick and disabled.

Originally, although life was hard, these villagers in Tongpen Village never gave up hope for life, however, in the past two days, a sudden freezing disaster made them almost desperate.

Yes, because of the extremely unchanged traffic and the living habits that their ancestors have developed for generations, their houses are basically wooden structures, and as a result, in the face of this merciless natural disaster, the houses in the whole village have basically collapsed with snow.

Forget about these, the most important thing is that because the wind and snow have never stopped, the rope bridge leading to the outside world is impassable at all, so that the village where they live has instantly become an island.

During this period, there were also a few people who couldn't bear the invasion of the wind and snow, and ignored the dissuasion of the villagers, so they resolutely stepped on the rope bridge, and in the end, they slipped directly into the abyss, thus falling to pieces.

Under such circumstances, the head of Tongpen Village had to issue a ban on whomever he was allowed to step on the rope bridge without his permission......

In fact, there is no otherwise, because everyone knows that in the face of such bad weather, as long as you step on that rope bridge, it is equivalent to stepping on the road of no return, which is equivalent to giving your life to death.

In this way, the more than 200 village names in Tongpen Village could only gather together, allowing the wanton invasion of the snowstorm while focusing on the village chief for help.

The village chief in front of him, who is about 50 years old, is waiting next to the rope bridge, smoking a dry cigarette while frowning and looking at the other side, as if he is thinking about something, and seems to be waiting for something!

Seeing this scene, one of the middle-aged men in his forties finally couldn't help but stride over: "Village Chief, we have to find a way to get out of here, otherwise, we will have to wait for death." ”

Yes, the snowstorm for several days not only collapsed their house, but also gradually devoured their courage to continue to live, and it can even be said that if the wind and snow do not stop, most of the old and weak women and children behind them will freeze to death, or starve to death.

Of course, in the face of wanton wind and snow, they also found dead branches and leaves to light a blazing bonfire, but in this cold and howling wilderness, how can a few bonfires compete with it?

"Hehe......"

Facing this person's construction, the village chief immediately couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Think of a way, what way? Since ancient times, there has only been one way down the mountain, but in such bad weather, can we step on the rope bridge?"

"What then?"

As soon as these words came out, the current middle-aged man in his forties suddenly showed a somewhat desperate expression, in his eyes, the village chief in front of him was definitely the embodiment of the god of wisdom, no matter what problems happened in the village, their village chief could always solve them in time, but this time the situation was a bit special, their omnipotent village chief seemed to have exhausted his donkey skills.

"What should I do?

After adding a little tobacco again, the village chief took a few puffs of "ba" and "ba", and then, while spitting out a series of smoke rings, the village chief continued to say in a deep voice: "Ngawang, except for me, there is only you as a party member in our village, so you should have confidence in the organization, and when you learn that we have suffered a severe disaster here, the leaders of the town party committee and the town government, and even the municipal party committee and government, will definitely not sit idly by, so wait, they should send someone to rescue us." ”

"I look at the hanging ......"

Hearing what the village chief said, the middle-aged man immediately said in a deep voice: "Village chief, it's not that I'm discouraged, our village is so poor that we don't even have a telephone, so I dare to say that the higher-level leaders may not know about our situation here." ”

"How is that possible?"

In this regard, the village chief immediately glared: "According to the current situation, it is definitely not only our Tongpen Village that has suffered such a severe natural disaster, so the higher-level leaders will definitely send people to collect the disaster information everywhere, and at that time, the difficulties encountered in our village will inevitably attract the attention of the higher-level leaders." ”

"This ......"

As soon as these words came out, Ngawang was speechless, because he had to admit that a few days before the incident, the relevant departments had issued a notice that southern Yunnan would usher in a large-scale snowstorm in the next few days, and asked all units at all levels to make relevant preparations.

Unfortunately, although they were prepared, they still underestimated the power of nature, so that now they really feel a sense of being caught off guard.

It was precisely thinking of these that Ngawang couldn't help but feel a little guilty, if they had been able to put in more efforts after receiving the notice, maybe they would not have caused such a strict consequence, so, in a certain way, they would have to bear part of the responsibility for the current natural disaster.

Of course, now is not the time to pursue responsibility, for Ngawang at this moment, he just wants to help the villagers through the current difficulties, after all, he is a party member, and at this critical moment, he should solve problems for the villagers.

It's a pity that no matter how he racked his brains, he couldn't think of a suitable countermeasure, and in desperation, he could only ask for help from the village chief in front of him, but he didn't expect that the other party was helpless.

The only difference is that the current village chief always believes that the superior leaders will definitely send people to carry out the rescue, but he has little hope for this.

Yes, looking at the village chief in front of him, Ah Wang immediately couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head: "Village chief, as you said, it is definitely not only our Tongpen Village that has suffered such a severe disaster, so the question is, can the superior leaders be busy?"

"Ah Wang, it's still the same sentence, you, like me, are also party members with many years of party experience, so you should trust the organization, they will never abandon us, let alone ignore the life and death of so many villagers!"

"Village Chief......

Hearing the other party's tone becoming more and more strict, Ngawang couldn't help but shrink his head: "You misunderstood what I meant, as a party member, I naturally have an extremely firm belief in the organization, but there are so many affected areas, and there are countless victims in urgent need of rescue, and compared with the rest of the villages, the traffic in our Tongpen Village is the most inconvenient, so I am really a little worried, can those villagers behind me support the arrival of the rescue force?"

"This ......"

This time, the village chief was speechless, he must admit that in the process of rescue, fools will choose areas with more convenient transportation, after all, it saves time and effort, and the rescue operation is relatively effective.

As for their villages with extremely inconvenient transportation, most of them will be kept until the end, so that the problem will be strict, and the more than 200 old and weak women and children in Tongpen Village may not be able to support until that time.

It was with this idea in mind that he lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and the current village chief, who was in his fifties, immediately waved his hand decisively: "Ah Wang, I don't think it's as good as this, haven't all those houses collapsed? ”

"Burned?"

As soon as these words came out, Ngawang immediately jumped up: "Village chief, are you sure you are not joking? After the disaster, what will the villagers do to rebuild their houses?"

"The situation is special, I can't take care of it so much!"

In the face of Ngawang's questioning, the village chief immediately said with a stern face: "Instead of letting the villagers freeze to death, it is better to burn those wooden planks to keep warm." ”

As he spoke, without waiting for Ngawang's response, the village chief hurriedly said in a deep voice: "Ngawang, now is not the time to care about those pots and jars, the current top priority is to try to ensure the lives of the villagers, as for the rest, we will talk about it later." ”

"Okay......"

Well, when it comes to this, what else does Ngawang have to say? He can only hope that after the catastrophe, the higher-level leaders and those caring people will be able to give more help to Tongpen Village.

Yes, looking at the village chief in front of him, Ah Wang immediately nodded helplessly: "What, village chief, I'll go clean up those planks." ”

"Wait......"

Standing up slowly, knocking off the ashes in the smoke pot, the village chief hurriedly said in a deep voice: "Tell the villagers, gather all the food, and then distribute it equally, so that everyone can fill their stomachs." ”

"That's fine!"

After receiving the order of the village chief, Ngawang immediately nodded in agreement, because the Spring Festival is coming, every household has prepared a lot of pickled food, and even, some families, have prepared some bacon, although it is basically pressed under the ruins, but it should still be edible if it is pulled out and washed.

"Hmmm......"

Patting Ngawang on the shoulder, the village chief thought for a moment, and then continued to say in a deep voice: "Also, gather those women and try to boil some ginger soup as much as possible, so as to help the villagers drive away the cold on their bodies, don't Before the rescue team arrives, they will already fall ill, and then it will be a troublesome matter." ”

"Okay, I'll let Ah Hua get it. ”

In this regard, Ngawang naturally won't have any meaning, isn't it just to make a few bowls of ginger soup, just let his wife get it, of course, Ngawang also has reason to believe that the rest of the old ladies should not be idle.

"Okay, that's all for now, you go get busy first!"

After explaining this, the village chief filled the cigarette gun with some more tobacco, and then took a few puffs again, thus exhaling a mouthful of smoke.

Then, looking at the slowly spreading smoke, the village chief immediately sighed deeply: "People have good and bad luck, and the sky has unpredictable storms and clouds, God, are you going to cut off the way of life of these villagers in Tongpen Village?"

"Huh......"

After speaking, it seemed that he had thought of something, and the village chief was about to call the departing Ngawang, but found that on the opposite side of the rope bridge, there seemed to be several figures, and they were wearing camouflage uniforms, which made the village chief suddenly tense his heartstrings.

Then, rubbing his eyes vigorously and finding that it was not an illusion, the village chief couldn't help but show a look of ecstasy: "Here, you are finally here, the villagers of Tongpen Village, this can be regarded as saved!"
