Even so, this human tragedy is still unfolding.

Mrs. Liu and her daughter-in-law squatted on the ground, and they were about to cry.

Although Shen Qingqing didn't want to say more, she had to say at this time: "Mrs. Liu, don't cry now, it's useless for you to cry, when was Dabao taken away by that beast?" You name it, and the people in the village can help you. ”

"That's right, Mrs. Liu, don't cry first, let's talk first, while the adults are at home now, we can go to the mountains to help find it."

"Don't cry......"

After Shen Qingqing said this, Mrs. Liu could be considered to react, only wiping her eyes like walnuts crying with her hands, and her voice was intermittent: "It's this morning...... Dabao said that it was snowing, and the stream must have been frozen, and I wanted to go to the stream to go ice skating, but I didn't stop it, I thought that breakfast was almost done, and I just wanted to find it...... I saw that the beast had taken the treasure away, and I didn't even see what it was. ”

Everyone was surprised when they said this, it seems that this beast is extremely ferocious, and even how fast it must be can't even see what kind of breed Mrs. Liu is.

The shouting drew the village chief over, and this was the person who had to talk to him.

The village chief's crutches knocked on the ground: "What are you doing here now?" Hurry up and go up the mountain to find it. ”

So in this panic, the villagers in the village began to go to the mountains.

Most of the people who enter the mountains are hunters, and inexperienced men and women are afraid to enter them, and they don't know how much snow falls, and the mountains are the most prone to accidents in winter.

Shen Qingqing held Xiao Douding and locked the door several times at home to have some peace of mind, and she had no intention of doing anything to eat, just heating up the leftovers before, so that she could be fed and clothed.

It was not until dark that I heard that the people who had gone to the mountains to look for them had not returned.

When Shen Qingqing just wanted to fall asleep, he heard someone knocking on the door.

Seeing that the figure was extremely familiar through the window, Shen Qingqing's heart moved, and he opened the door, and sure enough, it was Lin Zhong as he thought in his heart: "Why did you only come back now?" What are you doing here? ”

Lin Zhong wore a cloak on his body, his face and hands were red from the cold, and he let out a cold air when he spoke: "Dabao's affairs are too dangerous, I don't worry about that, so I came to see you, you and Xiaodouding have nothing to do, right?" ”

Shen Qingqing hurriedly led him into the house, poured a cup of hot tea and put it in his hand, and there was a charcoal fire in the house, and after a while, the forest was full of life.

Shen Qingqing said with concern in her heart: "Did you find that big treasure?" ”

Lin Zhong shook his head, and his voice was dull: "How can this be found?" Not to mention the size of the mountain, and there is so much snow. The snow in the mountains was knee-high, and we searched for a whole day without even finding a child. ”

Shen Qingqing's heart immediately beat a drum, if it was said in this way, then Dabao was afraid that it would already be more than lucky.

Lin Zhong put the hot water down, and glanced at Shen Qingqing again, and finally looked at him: "This winter is dangerous, you must be careful when you go to the town to deliver glutinous rice dumplings." ”

"I'm not afraid." Shen Qingqing said. "The road from Anning Village to the town is extremely good, and the boss greeted him at the door of the restaurant early, so I don't have to worry about it."

"It's fine." Lin Zhong stood up and just opened the door.

I don't know when the snow has fallen again, and there is no stopping posture. Both of them stood in the doorway, looking into the courtyard.

This winter is not a good sign of snow.

"Oh, my poor treasure, blame me for not taking good care of you......"

"Dabao, where can you go and come back quickly."

The two of them heard an extremely miserable cry, which didn't need to be Mrs. Liu and her daughter-in-law.

The two of them hurriedly took an umbrella and went out of the house, only to see Mrs. Liu slumped on the ground, her body covered by snow, but the cry made people feel colder than the ice and snow in this winter.

There were a lot of hunters around him, I was afraid that this hunter would come back and tell Mrs. Liu and her daughter-in-law about the situation, these two people couldn't resist the discomfort in their hearts, and they cried again.

Shen Qingqing hurriedly stepped forward and hugged Mrs. Liu in her arms, she had no way to comfort her with such a thing, and she couldn't help sobbing when she spoke: "Mrs. Liu, don't worry about it first, maybe Dabao will be able to be found in a few days." ”

But how can Mrs. Liu listen now, she is just crying, and Mrs. Liu has cried and fainted several times in these two hours.

The white-haired person sending the black-haired person is the saddest thing in the world, all words seem to be insignificant in the face of this natural and man-made disaster, a corner of fate or a mistake that God does not pay attention to, for a person and a family may be a lifetime of burden and pain.

Shen Qingqing didn't know when to comfort Mrs. Liu, but she felt that it was too late to reach out and lose her fingers, and the snow in the sky was still falling one after another, and the black and white corresponded to each other and pressed people's hearts and minds.

The next day, Shen Qingqing was too worried that Xiaodouding was home alone, and he didn't go to the town to deliver glutinous rice dumplings.

After breakfast, Shen Qingqing pulled Xiao Douding and wanted to go to Mrs. Liu's house to see the situation, but walking along the road in the village, she found that many people's houses were built with thatched houses.

From a distance, you can see the bed board in your home.

There was no way, the village chief could only hold an emergency meeting, and the people in the village didn't take it seriously before the meeting, and the melon seeds and peanuts in his hands kept eating, but this time he saw everyone from a distance with sad faces.

The village chief, who is over half a hundred years old, can only keep lowering his head, as if everything has bent his waist these days: "I won't say much, everyone, everyone knows what the situation is in the village now, some of the thatched houses have collapsed and there is no place to live, while some are still intact." ”

"This winter is always going to pass."

This was a cheering sentence, but no one next to him responded.

The village chief could only continue: "We discussed it, and the family of the thatched hut that was crushed should go to live with relatives or neighbors for a few days to overcome this difficulty. ”

"Good...... Good ......"

The others were muffled and nodded.

Shen Qingqing is now extremely glad that she had asked someone to build the thatched house a few days ago, and because she was a widow and a child, no one came to their house to borrow it.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that it was inappropriate, so Shen Qingqing took Xiaodouding to the town.

Sure enough, it used to be a bustling market, but now it is sparsely populated, and it seems that the heavy snow has crushed people's enthusiasm and fighting spirit.

Shen Qingqing went directly to a grain store, and the boss was looking down and calculating, when he saw Shen Qingqing coming over, he hurriedly greeted him: "Sister, what are you going to buy?" ”

"I'll buy some rice and matches."

This rice is the staple food of the family, and matches are a thing of life that must not be missing.

"Yes." The boss took out a bowl of rice and put it in front of Shen Qingqing. "This rice was shipped from other places, and it has a full taste."

Shen Qingqing glanced at this rice, which was not very good, and asked, "What is the price of this rice?" ”

"Five dollars a pound."

"What?" Shen Qingqing took a step back, if it was a good rice in normal times, it would not be able to sell it at this price, and the price would have risen more than three times!

The boss smiled: "Sister, don't think I'm giving a high price, you don't look at what time it is, some places have begun to eat tree bark, and it's good that we have rice to eat." You don't want anyone else to want this scarce thing. ”

"And how are these matches sold?" Shen Qingqing asked again.

Sure enough, as she expected, matches and rice, like rice, were more than three times higher than usual, and not only these two things, but as long as they could eat food, they were much more expensive than usual.

There are still a lot of rice and matches in the house, and Shen Qingqing is just to prevent unforeseen needs this time, so he buys less of everything.

However, it is not that there is no good news, it is cold this winter, and the price of the scarves and leather boots they make is much higher, so Shen Qingqing has not made less money.

When she returned home, she saw a lady in the village standing at the door of her house looking left and right, and saw Shen Qingqing coming over enthusiastically and shyly.

Shen Qingqing also knew what time it was, and greeted him with a smile: "What's wrong with the eldest lady?" But what's the matter? ”

The eldest lady pinched her sleeves with both hands: "Qingqing, I'm here to borrow some food from you." ”

"Borrow food?"

It's not that Shen Qingqing is unwilling to lend it to her, but the eldest mother's family conditions are considered rich in the village, how can she be reduced to the point of borrowing food?

When the lady saw Shen Qingqing like this, she also sighed and explained, "You don't know." The houses of my relatives and neighbors have collapsed, and there is no food ration in the house to live in our house, and the cost is several times higher than usual, and there is not enough food in the house, so I can only come and borrow it from you. ”

Shen Qingqing was just sad when she heard this, and hurriedly dug up several large bowls of rice from her home and put them in the bag: "Auntie, take these rice to eat first, and then borrow it from me if it is not enough." ”

In times like these, I can help some.
