The three of them went down the mountain all the way, there were many people on the mountain road, some dangerous places were covered by heavy snow, and if they were not careful, they would be doomed, the three of them stuck to the cliff, moving step by step, Zhao Qian suddenly slipped his foot and was about to fall, Wei Ming grabbed his collar and lifted him up, so scared that Zhao Qian and Xu Yuan broke out in a cold sweat. Zhao Qian asked in a low voice, "Didn't you grow up in the mountains before?" How can you walk the mountain road so badly. Xu Yuan cautiously said as he walked: "I did live in the mountains for a few years, but who went out in the heavy snow." Zhao Qian could only smile bitterly and walk forward more cautiously and cautiously stepping on Wei Ming's footprints.

When they arrived at the place near the descent, they saw more than a dozen people blocking the downhill checkpoint from a distance, the three of them glanced at each other, accelerated their pace and walked over, and when they reached the bottom of the mountain, they saw the officers and soldiers at the checkpoint blocking them, and they were reasoning with the hunters: "Who let you go down the mountain without permission?" Did you hit something? If you don't have anything, you guys will find a fight! The hunters looked at each other and said: "Poor master, this is not ordinary snow, the heavy snow has sealed the mountain, and it is easy to go up and down, and there are more than a hundred people trapped on it, so you let me go back to the village to report a message, and find a strong man to save people, otherwise half of the strong men in our village will die. ”

The errand smiled coldly: "At that time, when we went up the mountain, we could say that we couldn't go down the mountain without hitting a good fur, and now it's not two or three days before we go up the mountain, you all have to quarrel and come down, isn't this nonsense, you come down, our lives are gone, what to explain to the above, go back, can't go down the mountain!" Zhao Qian tugged at the corners of Wei Ming and Xu Yuan's clothes, and when the two looked back, Zhao Qian said: "Since this is the case, then why don't we help them, those who go up the mountain to hunt in winter are also poor families." Xu Yuan instantly understood what Zhao Qian meant, but Wei Ming was still a little puzzled: "We just went up the mountain, how can there be any good fur to help them?" Zhao Qian said: "Look, the leopard skin in my lining can be regarded as a good fur?" ”

The clothes were lifted to see the leopard skin, the color was smooth and shiny, it was a good skin, but Wei Ming was a little difficult: "We went up the mountain for four or five days, and we only hit a skin, so we have to give it to others, and besides, you are so weak like a scholar, how can you not have fur on your body?" Zhao Qian looked at him, shook his head, and looked at the person with a bright smile: "Brother Wei Ming, why did you say this, since we have become brothers, then there is no distinction between you and me, and besides, my sister-in-law is at home alone, are you really at ease?" There are more than 100 people in the mountains, and their lives are entrusted to these people, since we have gone down the mountain, we will also pick them up on the way, and maybe we can save people. ”

After saying this, Wei Ming knelt down: "Wei Ming has no knowledge, let my brother laugh, this great kindness, Wei Ming must be unforgettable!" Zhao Qian hurriedly helped him up. The three of them walked down the mountain together, and when they arrived at the checkpoint, the official still bombarded them like flies: "Go back and go back, you can't go down the mountain without good fur." Xu Yuan took off the leopard skin of Zhaoqian's shirt, gave him his coat to wrap on, and walked to the official: "Poor master, look at my fur, can you pass the test, we are all from the same village, seeing that my brother and uncle are trapped on it, we have to find a way to go out to save people, master, you can do well, let's go out, I promise, I will bring people back." As he spoke, he stuffed some silver taels into the official's hand

The official looked at Xu Yuan and smiled: "You kid is still sensible, besides, can you also take a fancy to your three melons and two dates, that is, the above is urgent, since human life is at stake, then you can go down, remember to come back, there are many big bears on the mountain." Xu Yuan nodded: "Definitely." He went over and greeted the few people who couldn't get down the mountain not far away, in a local voice: "Township party, do you want to go down with us?" It's important to save people, let's go. When they got to the bottom of the mountain, they inquired and understood, that village, there were so many strong men, and this year's harvest was not good, and everyone wanted to earn some money to subsidize their families during the winter hunt.

Now that the snow is covering the mountains, and there are only some old and weak women and children left in the village, what should we do? Xu Yuan looked at them: "Township party, you go to find someone first, we will see you at the bottom of the mountain in a day, if you don't find anyone, I, Xu, will help you find a way, as long as you can trust me!" The villagers knelt down and shouted for their benefactor. The two went home with Wei Ming, only to see that because the snow was too thick, many houses along the way were overwhelmed, many children did not survive this cold winter, the cats and dogs that froze to death on the road, as well as the elderly, were not buried, and when they arrived at Wei Ming's house, they only saw the collapsed house, Wei Ming wailed and rushed into the ruins of the house, and cried loudly after a while.

A female corpse with a smile was picked up from the rubble by Wei Ming, "There is no shortage of firewood at home, this stupid woman doesn't know how to burn, and she doesn't know how to run when the house collapses, I'm back, Xiang'er!" I'm back, I'm coming back late. Wei Ming cried, Xu Yuan and Zhao Qian were silent, under the snow disaster, how many people were like this, and how many people died under the cold and collapsed beams before they could run. When Wei Ming's voice was hoarse, Xu Yuan reminded him: "Brother Wei, for today's plan, I want to bury my younger brother and sister as soon as possible, this is a natural disaster, younger brother and sister... She's also there to wait for you to come back. Wei Ming nodded, and took out a dozen copper coins from his arms, "Trouble the two, help me buy a thin-skinned coffin, if the money is not enough... Then buy two pairs of straw mats, my fragrant child, reincarnate in a good family in the next life, don't meet me again. ”

In the town, all the shops are half-closed, only the coffin shop is wide open, Xu Yuan and Zhaoqian glanced at each other, walked in, and the boss looked: "Guest officer, here, what coffin to buy?" Zhao Qian said: "Let's buy a thin-skinned coffin." "Thirty Wen, dead man's business, no counteroffer." The two took out more than a dozen yuan given by Wei Ming, which was obviously not enough, Xu Yuan looked at Zhao Qian, and Zhao Qian also took out more than a dozen yuan from his arms, adding up to twenty-eight yuan, but it was not enough, Xu Yuan said: "Shopkeeper, you are doing well, our brothers are worth their lives, and the family is still waiting to be buried." The shopkeeper snorted coldly: "I don't have the money to learn what coffins others buy, it's better to buy two straw mats, really, twenty-eight Wen, I accepted it, take the coffin and get out quickly." ”
