3. Woodcutters

Hutou Mountain is dressed in silver, and it looks particularly energetic after falling leaves and snow, it seems to be fat, and it seems to be thin, very gentle, this is its true face. The end of the year is approaching, the heavy snow has been blowing and falling non-stop, this is the sixth snow, the snow is very thick, and it has already frozen, so it has become a snow disaster. On such days, people are very tormented, they are not like the heavy snow, they can be so leisurely, chic, because they are still hungry, so they are also panicked, so they have to find food, go outside. However, in such a season, on such a day, hunting is not possible. The beasts are all hiding, they are also afraid of the cold, and they are afraid of being discovered, so they learn to behave.

How? As the saying goes: the mountain eats the mountain. So the men of the mountains, in the bitter cold and in the snow, went deeper into the mountains to cut wood for charcoal, and to provide the most scarce things for the people of the plains. Therefore, before dawn, the men went out and did not come back until after midnight, relying on their strength and will, but they only managed to earn back only two bowls of raw noodles for the whole family to live twice a day. After the men left, the women were lonely, and they could only be at home because they had small feet. The neighbors live far away, and wild beasts run in the wilderness from time to time, and they may become evil beasts, and they are dangerous. For this reason, women love to take care of children the most, but they are afraid that if they don't have children, or if the children are older, they will go out, and there will be no one to relieve their loneliness. There is nothing to do anymore, only to bake the fire, in order to prevent loneliness, they will light the fire to the top, let the fire whirring, anyway, there is no shortage of firewood, this is the mountain people. However, the most important thing is missing, eating. So the women prayed and blessed their common man and looked forward to an early return. However, the time is long, and I have to endure it, so I look forward to it, and I am more and more hungry.

The men went out, went straight to the west, then turned left, and turned into Huyukou. Huyu Valley is a very narrow and long ravine, taking advantage of the momentum, stretching and snakewalking, and reaching hundreds of miles deep. On both sides of the ditch, the lofty mountains and mountains enter the sky, and the wild trees are clustered, such as chaotic clouds flying across. However, it is often cracked, and ditches and streams are born, and it will be dozens of miles away. For this reason, the most afraid of danger, for fear of getting lost, not a single person dares to come, or form a gang, but also to guard against wild beasts. However, people have to come, to beg for a living. In this bifurcating ditch, there will be people who will bravely live in it, and they will burn charcoal to make it convenient to get firewood. However, he only burned it, no matter how much he sold it, and he couldn't take care of it, so he had to sell it out. As a result, charcoal selling has become a life for people from outside the mountains. However, there are regulations that must rely on capital, and it is not easy for both parties to meet, but they have to live. Therefore, people who have no capital can only chop firewood, and there is a huge amount of firewood in the mountains. However, to choose, the first choice is the yellow slug wood, when you see the fire, whether dry or wet, the fire is rumbling and prosperous, it is the favorite of the plains people, and it will become the life that the people in the mountains can beg. But what luck? are extremely difficult. First, the road is difficult to walk, there is no road at all; the second is that the road is too far, and it is dark at both ends; Three also encountered a snow disaster, so it became an adventure.

When it comes to adventure, the most dangerous is Huyukou, which is the key to life and death. Huyukou, a line of sky, only one mile long, but the wall stands thousands of thousands, the shape is like a yin door, the top and bottom are extremely narrow, only open from the middle, the deep top is wide and wide, and the three zhang under the feet are all water surface, so gather the wind, always send a whistling sound, and the rolling stone falls, this is the first risk. The second danger is water, which spreads the pavement, falls from time to time, and becomes a flying stream, but there is no special road surface. Therefore, all the people who go in and out often jump on the stones, cross left and right, climb upwards, smooth downwards, and then cling to the cliff wall, hurriedly go out, and even dare not breathe for fear of attracting rolling stones. The third danger is people, who are afraid of others and scare themselves. Within the mouth of the valley, there is a violent whistling sound, people are squeezed on both sides, and the water surface is on all sides, and the wild birds are strangely calling, so it is terrible; But the rolling stone fell, and it was on the surface of the foot, so he panicked, one person screamed, many people screamed, and maybe someone fell. Therefore, looking for comfort, looking forward to the mother on the top of the head, the three girls are immortals, hoping to watch them and bless them. However, it was winter, and I was afraid of the cold. However, it was also a blessing in disguise, and the river became a smooth ice surface, which had already frozen, and was covered with snow, and the snow was very deep, but it became stable under the feet and easy to cross. However, you also have to guard against dark rivers and ice caves. Only when you really get out of the tiger bath can you pick up a life.

Outside the mouth of the tiger valley, there is a splendid river channel, the shape is like a dustpan, the rocks are clustered, the gravel is listed, the water flows from it, and the wind is very miserable. However, it was also covered with snow, so it was smooth and smooth. Outside the dustpan, it was unusually empty, and there was no one on the left and right. However, on the right side of the dustpan, far away, and concave, there lived a family of blacksmiths, whose master's surname was Zhan and his pseudonym Zhan Xiang, because the hammer rang loudly, and he made knives and axes for people. Here, the wind is still sharp, but overhead, above the waist of the tree. The scale of the blacksmith is very large, with wings on the left and right, a fence on the north and south, and the main house in the depths of the mountain, and three rooms, all of which live in the heart of the tree surrounded by nine trees. After entering the hospital, it was full of firewood, very delicate firewood, which could not be burned no matter what, and was given by others to offset his knife and axe money. The most lively thing in the yard is the dog, which can bark, so it relieves loneliness, reports for the owner, and prevents wolves. However, on a snowy day, who comes and goes? So the dog was also lonely, so he went to bed early. However, the blacksmith did not dare to sleep, so he came out and waited for someone, otherwise he would be saved, and he had already depended on each other.

It was dark in the morning, the night sky was not dark, and the moon was hidden in the clouds, and there was a light of snow. However, the mist was dark, the snowflakes were still drifting, and it was rare to see stars. The blacksmith is in a hurry, and the people who enter the mountain have not come back? He looked at the mountains and the fields, and formed a vast plain. Suddenly, a gale swept across, and streams of snow and sand swirled, rolled, and dispersed, and became a mist of snow. The snow and mist fantasize to become clouds, so a touch of wipe, drifting with the wind, dancing in the air, silver, diffuse, ups and downs. The gale roared and shook the universe, annihilating the cry of the owl, and setting off the silence of the earth. Empty, desolate, the blacksmith was stunned, but he still waited, persevered. But as the night sky grew more and more bleak, the sound of breaking was overhead, and the blacksmith asked the heavens, "What about people?" Come back, man. "But there was still no trace. The cold was still intensifying, and the night continued to smash, and as a last resort, the blacksmith returned.

In the second half of the night, a group of people finally went down to the mouth of the tiger bath, forced their way into the sky, and hit the line of death, but they were no longer able to do it. The sharp wind, the sand with snow, like a sharp steel needle, is cold, and it hurts to kill people. And they staggered, tiptoeing, stumbling, tripping, getting up, stumbling, and stumbling, and so on. Therefore, the group of people advanced with their bodies low, carrying huge loads of firewood, and they tried to slip down the snow, but they could not push it. The body has long been hollowed out, and it is embarrassed, the wet is slippery, the body is cold, and the blood and sweat are condensed into pimples. So they bent down, and bent down, and crushed as if they were. If I really want to collapse, I won't get up, and I can rest for a while. But I didn't dare, and I wanted to take advantage of the opportunity. Unexpectedly, out of fright, he fell down the rolling stones, rumbled, and pressed down on his heart from the top of his head. Therefore, this group of people panicked, panicked, and was ruthlessly contested. One is cold, piercing its bones, stripping its clothes, biting its muscles and flesh, and paralyzing it. The second is starvation, destroying its body, disintegrating its spirit, devouring its spiritual flesh, so that its soul cannot keep up. The third is to mess with rocks, deliberately block the road, and set up roadblocks everywhere. The fourth is the thorn, the most sinister, setting up a secret ambush, specifically to drill under the feet. Finally, this group of people couldn't stand it anymore, so they fell down one after another, but forced their souls out of the body. However, the soul cried out, "My family is waiting, we have to look forward to it." Hence the faith. Faith urges people, so they drive, collect life, and make this group of people stand up again, staggering and moving forward. However, he still fell, and there was no food in his belly, and it was difficult to support him, so the soul wanted to dissipate. But the two were not in harmony, so the spirit held on, and the soul went out of the body, so it climbed up into the air, and as it flew up, it swung up. fluttering, the soul smiled, the wish was easy to meet the family, dreamed of the sound and smile, greeted each other, and went home.

went home, and thankfully, the group finally escaped from the tiger's bath, but only picked up half their lives. Home is still far away, the burden of firewood is still heavy, and I continue to fight for this, but when my strength is really exhausted, I will fall down again, like cramping and peeling skin. Sleepiness, pain, emptiness, disintegration into their bodies; Tiredness, numbness, depression, dissipated their souls. Just saved but facing death, everyone just wants to **, they all let it go, and they can't find themselves. Then the spirit also cried out, "If you don't dare, you won't be able to get up." "But I don't dare and can't, I'm so sleepy, just take a breath. For this reason, the spirit also soared, into the air, to find the soul, only to flutter, so relaxed. So much good, the sky and the earth are empty, spinning leisurely, rising and falling smoothly, colliding in the air, so enjoyable. It's amazing to be above the clouds, turning over in the beautiful rainbow, and sparkling yourself, so drunk and forgetting. So he crossed the sky, stepped on the stars at his feet, and took the heavenly river in his arms, becoming a fairy. Beautiful, dreaming of the Lingxiao Treasure Palace, I went leisurely, too.

"Don't you dare to snooze, get up quickly, I'm going to freeze to death." Suddenly, someone shouted, can't wait, yet he also froze. He is Fu Ba, Fu Ku'er, the collector of this operation, and the earliest old household in Hutou Mountain. He shook hard, and at last he was able to move, and then he rolled and got up, and then he urged his companions to move them away one by one. However, these people are still not awake, they are still in their dreams, but they can open their eyes and see, so they cry strangely: "Hehe, hehe, where? It seems clear, but it doesn't seem clear. So Fu Ba urged: "Quick, look, blacksmith shop." These people are still confused and confused. Fu Ba reminded again: "Look, nine trees." "Trees?" These people muttered, but when they finally tried, they found that it was like a rope, tied to the edge of the sky. So he struggled to find out, and then said, "Oh, home has arrived, and I'm back." "Thus he was inspired, and gathered his soul together, but he moved in confusion, and forgot the burden. Later, he turned around and moved the firewood, but he couldn't carry it. Fu Badao: "Abandon it, leave empty, hurry up and go to the blacksmith's house first." So they picked up their steps, charged carefully, stumbled, and rolled ashore.

After going ashore, the wind became more and more severe, making people drift like residual leaves. If you roll downhill again, you will encounter snow and sand, so you will fall into a snow hole. It was difficult to get up, so I hugged the snow, instinctively seeking stability and stability. Finally, the dog barked, spreading joy and meeting people, and a group of people whimpered and cried with joy. The blacksmith hurried out with the whole family, but hurriedly shouted: "Hurry down, what are you doing with the snow?" "Therefore, if you can't pick up the snow, who is willing to pick it up? I had to go into the yard, and all of them fell down, and Qi froze. So the blacksmith and the woman, the daughter and son-in-law, and the two apprentices, hurriedly pulled out the people, moved them, and carried them into the door one by one. After entering the door, these people raised their spirits and threw themselves into the fire. The master hurriedly shouted: "Don't dare, cold man, decide something." Therefore they were stopped, and they were stopped, and they became hardened again. So, re-enter the yard and let it slow down. Only then did the blacksmith order: "Hurry up and prepare a meal, and scoop as many vegetables as possible." "Food? Benefactor! These people screamed in their hearts, but when they opened their mouths, they trembled, and although they were grateful, their tears and tears froze.

This group of people had pity in their eyes, and they really wanted to speak. The blacksmith also understood, hence the wave of his hand. However, the grace of saving lives, these people want to move. The blacksmith said: "Your own family, you're welcome." Heaven and earth are frozen, how can they not be guilty? So the wait was long. Finally, the smell of smoke and fire came out again, helped them move, carried them into the house, moved them again, and then set them up and let them wait for dinner. It is the taste of rice, the taste that is too familiar, and this group of people has begun to return to life, and the more they feel the warmth of home, so they have patience. Finally, Tang came up first, and everyone hurriedly stood up, but the master retreated, and everyone understood that they were afraid of urgency, so they sat down. Then, the master came up, and then handed the soup and took the bowl, but there was firewood and grass floating in the soup, and everyone understood that they were also afraid of urgency. Therefore, I picked firewood, drank a small sip, picked up grass, and drank a small sip, and my stomach gurgled and screwed, but I could bear it. Then, the rice came up, steaming, and each person had a bowl of slurry water. Wow, there are really a lot of dishes, and there are more white wide noodles, the most eye-catching, and the most cherished things. However, there was still firewood and grass, and the blacksmith said, "This is the only bowl." So the more I cherished it, the more I was content, the first time my heart warmed, I was extra cautious. So look first, smell first, then lick, smack, taste slowly, digest lightly, good taste. Soon, the abdomen was warm, hot and comfortable. Come down, the hot spring in the chest, turn the heat wave, then collide, extend outward, enter the body, walk the limbs, and the body is full. Therefore, people are excited, only feel powerful, and infinitely comfortable. When it comes down, the muscles tremble, the muscles and bones are reset, so it itches, and the whole body is uncomfortable, so it twists and stretches. Then came down, the fire snakes in the body, one by one, collided inside and out, wanting to break out of the skin, so the more tormented. So people jumped, stomped, scratched violently, but also came alive and could speak. But what do you say? It's hard to say a word of thanks, it's too false, too fake, too light, and there is nothing to say about the grace of saving your life.

So, Fu Ba spoke, but complained, and asked, "What day?" It's too hard. The blacksmith did not say anything, but asked his wife, "Is there really no more food?" The wife said, "Half a bowl per person." Everyone hurriedly thanked: "Enough, don't dare to be greedy anymore." But when he handed over the bowl, he asked for half a bowl. After half a bowl of eating, the family retreated and went to sleep first. Therefore, it is also a rare gathering for everyone to reunite and gather in the fire pond to facilitate speech. The blacksmith asked softly, "Where is Du Chai?" Fu Badao: "It's still at the bottom of the river." The blacksmith then asked, "How many bowls of noodles can each of you earn?" The crowd hurriedly replied, "Who knows." "I'm embarrassed, but I can't explain it clearly. Xu Shan explained: "The colder the day, the more people chop wood, and the more difficult it is to sell it at a good price." The blacksmith sighed, "It's all too difficult, and I have to go into the mountains." Then he asked, "What about selling charcoal?" Zhou Xing said: "I don't have the capital, it's difficult to borrow, and I can't afford dry food." The crowd hurriedly agreed: "That's it." Liu Shengwa cried and complained: "When I came yesterday, I brought all the food from the house, and there were only three handfuls of fried noodles. Just because of this, my sister was pitied, she didn't dare to eat for two days, and secretly saved my province, it was my mother who said that my mother was still sick. Zhang Menzhu also cried, his mother had just died, and she was newly buried, but she was starving to death, but she still had a daughter-in-law, so she confided: "I'm afraid that my daughter-in-law can't survive it." So she couldn't stop crying. The people persuaded him, but they didn't know what to say, so they had to pat him, and the atmosphere was solemn. The blacksmith comforted everyone: "Don't be sad, everything will be fine, you have to pass." ”

Suddenly, Li Shengcai snorted in pain, and shouted: "Hehe, it hurts, it's colder than in the snow." He tried his best to be reserved, but he could not overcome it, so he fell to the ground and trembled. Everyone looked at each other and panicked, but the blacksmith said: "It's okay if it's cold, it's a continuation of cold, everyone reacts differently, he has grown a little." So the people were relieved. The blacksmith turned to ask: "Collect firewood and weigh it, or Gao Shengzhi?" The crowd was dissatisfied, "Who is he?" Often the old man who hangs the scale is high, and he always wants to pit people. Gao Shengcai said: "He also does things for others, can he be up to him?" Who has ever seen it, when will he be able to carry his head for himself? Liu Shengwa questioned: "He's not the first chief?" Gao Shengcai said frustratedly: "Nest, don't mention it, his face is soft, and the tax donations are often not collected, so he is beaten twice in three days." For this matter, my second mother cried all day long, I don't know how many times, I wanted to do it, and I couldn't quit. Don't you study for a few years? It's better to be sinned, so it's better for us. He said the truth, and everyone agreed, and then said, "It's hard for him." Fu Ba was angry and scolded: "That bowl of rice was originally served by wicked people, it is difficult for good people to do, but it is also difficult for good people to live." ”

The topic is heavy again, but no one wants to be heavy, so change the topic and use the child to make fun of it and seek to relieve the boredom. So, Fu Ba looked for the child and shouted, "Mule and horse, come over and kowtow to Xiangye." "The mule foal's surname is Ma, only fourteen, only half an old child, but he is tall, but he keeps his head down and does not dare to see people. He walked over, gave a salute first, and shouted, "Xiangye." But he knelt down again and said, "Xiangye, I thank you for everyone and save our lives." And all the people rejoiced, and the words of their hearts came out. Xiang Ye was also happy, so he replied: "Alas, smart children, still immature, hurry up, whose child?" The mule colt hurriedly replied: "I shouted Ma Yinwa, my family lives in the yard of the Ma family." Xiang Ye smiled, pulled the mule colt over, leaned against him, but also teased him, and asked, "The mule foal can run, can you run?" The mule colt spoke loudly: "Yes." Everyone laughed. Ma Junren praised him: "Don't underestimate him, he has become the pillar of the family." Just this time, he ran happily, his heart was still greedy, and he became a big deal. Xiang Ye asked, "Where are the adults in your family?" The mule foal was sad and replied slowly, "I am seriously ill, and I have nothing to eat at home." Xiang Ye said bitterly: "What a posterity." ”

Li Shengcai came to his senses, and he also wanted to join in the fun, so he also took the mule foal to make fun of it, and asked, "Mule foal, come and worship me and be my god?" I won't let you run all over the mountain, and you will still enjoy the blessings. The mule colt had already dared to speak, so he was familiar, but he was the most unsightly person, so he retorted: "Want to take advantage of me?" If you have the ability to marry a wife, you can give birth to one for yourself. Li Shengcai's face turned red, and people were most afraid of being slapped in the face, so they were uncomfortable. Fu Ba hurriedly played the round and asked the mule horse: "There is no sense of proportion in speaking, and one pole does not hit a boat?" The mule foal did not dare to speak, knowing that he was wrong. Fu Ba asked the blacksmith: "Uncle Xiang, I want a whistle stick, when do you see it?" The blacksmith said, "In a few days, we can make a fire together." Hearing that he could also use a whistle stick, the mule colt was itching in his heart and asked curiously: "Grandpa, how much does a whistle stick cost?" Xiang Ye smiled: "For you, at least half a year of hard work." The mule's heart was cold, and he asked, "What about an axe?" Fu Badao: "Three years, can you fight?" The mule colt smacked his tongue, but Xiangye laughed.

However, the mule colt thought it was true, so he thought: "Obediently, three years, how many times will you go into the mountain?" So I had the idea of being an apprentice and learning to strike iron, but I don't know if I will accept it? You can't rush this matter yet, you have to talk in the long run, what if you mess up? His heart was beating a drum, so the more anxious he became. However, he also suppressed his wishes, so he imagined and wandered, but in the end he still asked Xiang Ye: "Grandpa, is it difficult to learn to strike iron?" Xiang Ye smiled: "It's difficult, it's not difficult." If you are afraid of hardship, it is difficult, and if you are not afraid of hardship, it is not difficult. The mule foal replied, "I am not afraid of hardship." Everyone around laughed, but pretended not to know. Xiang Ye said: "There are still difficulties that you don't know." The mule foal asked, "What's so difficult?" Xiang Ye said: "The craft is difficult to learn, the iron charcoal is difficult to find, the living road is not even, and the salary cannot keep up." "Mule Pony is really cold, I regret that things were messed up, and Xiang Ye is shirking in advance. However, he was still unwilling, so he asked Xiang Ye: "That's better than us, at least there is something to eat?" Xiang Ye smiled bitterly and said, "I have eaten it, and I have saved a lot of slurry water." The vegetables were sent by the villagers, and the firewood was also sent by the villagers, but there was a lack of money and food. If the villagers are lacking, I am also lacking. At this point, he suddenly stopped, and found that the crowd was all restless, and therefore looked restrained. Sure enough, the people rebuked the mule and reprimanded him for inquiring, so they ordered him to go down and let the adults speak. So, the mule and the colt turned back, but found that: obediently, the house is so big, and it is full of food, and there are six large tanks of slurry water in the root of the back wall alone, and there are also board cabinets, maybe it is grain. No wonder, can you manage so many people's food? Hence respectable. Therefore, the mule and colt should think carefully and find a way to make up for it, and wait for the future. Therefore, he leaned towards the fire and lay down quietly, thinking about his own affairs and interrogating himself. However, I was too tired to fall asleep unconsciously.

The dog barked, the sky was about to dawn, and a group of people were still talking, and it was delayed anyway, so let the body ease up again. So the blacksmith told the people the news, and he asked, "Have you heard?" The Eight-Nation Coalition has entered Beijing, burned, killed, looted, and burned the Old Summer Palace. How many taels of silver did the garden cost? Suck the blood of the whole country and let it be shared per capita. However, if they want to be able to build guns and cannons, who of them foreigners would dare to come? Suddenly, everyone's anger. Fu Ba asked, "Huh?" That Cixi, regardless of the country, isn't the country hers? Coveting one's own 60th birthday, forcibly apportioning, spending so much silver, and letting foreigners burn it, is it evil? Li Shengcai also scolded: "Yes, donate money all day long, and the money is wronged." It's so bad that we can't eat all year round, she can't even keep a garden, or is it in the capital, how much cheaper than foreigners? Wretched. Ma Junren said angrily: "It's not the garden's problem, since Cixi has Wu Zetian's ambitions, she should also have Wu Zetian's ability." The country can't protect it, and you still want to be autocratic, so you can still hope for the country? Zhou Xing said: "What you said is too far. She lives in the Jinluan Palace, she is not cold and not hungry, but she hurts us to suffer, she has paid everything that should be paid, and she has paid what she shouldn't have paid, how can she not be hungry? But I don't understand, why does she not care about the country? Ancestors, has she forgotten, whose country is it? The blacksmith said: "Jiangshan is not hers, how could there be a Manchu Qing two hundred years ago, and then her?" Since ancient times, the rivers and mountains have also been the rivers and mountains of the Han people. Gao Shengcai suddenly shouted: "Yes, the Qing Dynasty is a stolen country, and they came later." Fu Ba said: "Even if you steal, you can steal it, how can you protect it?" and the people were not harmed. However, you see, over the years, how many silver taels have the turtles of the Great Qing Dynasty gone out? If you are only afraid of foreigners, you are not afraid of the people, are they really paying for it? The blacksmith said: "It's not just that, the Old Summer Palace didn't burn, they fled first, Cixi took the emperor with her, and fled westward together." Therefore, when crossing Shanxi, someone will kill her; Now, I have come to Shaanxi again, and there is no one in Shaanxi? Wait and see, someone will kill her, and the people will not be harmed, and there will be hope for the whole nation. People were very excited, but Fu Ba asked, "Is there really such a person?" There really should be. What has become of the national capital? There is a country within a country, how can the people live? From the ancient road: willing to be in trouble, dare to pull the emperor off the horse. Even if there is a rebellion, what can it do? Liu Shengwa said: "How easy is it to rebel?" Fu Badao: "Anyway, it's not going to be prosperous, so it's better to fight to the death." After hearing this, the blacksmith looked at him respectfully, and then said, "It's the opposite." It is Manchu, after all, it is difficult to have great ambitions for barbarians to govern the country. Since ancient times, barbarians have also produced heroes, but lack of culture, often later generations will be defeated, this is the root. ”

Fu Ba said: "It's still too far, too deep." Let's just say that at the moment, there are really people who change the world? The blacksmith said, "Of course there is, it has never been interrupted, and now many of them are being formed." In the past, there was the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the White Lotus Sect, you all know. At the moment, there are the Boxers, the Red Lantern Illumination, the Little Knife Club, and some have no names, in fact, they all have names, and they are all a group of people, maybe someone will get things done. But people sighed: "Why is the name weird, not like a founding country?" The blacksmith said, "The name is not important, the key is to be able to hide people in the early stage and organize people." What to do? Just use the legal name, use the name that the people already have, the most inconspicuous, and hide yourself first. Therefore, storytellers, singers, boxers, and performers, including various guilds, all have names, but in fact they each have their own programs, and it is difficult for outsiders to know, and perhaps there are hidden anti-Qing aspirants. Therefore, there are so many that you can't imagine that this is the initial formation, waiting for the later to unite, and then the name of the country at that time, and the countries since ancient times have been built in this way. For the time being, the people's hearts are still scattered, so they dare not make it public, and they do not seek reunification. However, the people with lofty ideals have a common wish, and they are preparing in advance for the restoration of the rivers and mountains of the Han family. "Listening to the blacksmith's speech, the people were very excited, so they were excited, and they were still looking forward to it, but something happened.

Suddenly, the mule and colt screamed and rolled on the ground, crying out in pain. People rushed over and asked what was going on? The mule foal cried, "It hurts, it hurts." Fu Ba hurriedly wanted to hug him, but the mule colt rolled to the side and begged: "Don't touch, don't move, it hurts me to death." The people wondered, but the blacksmith's heart tightened, and he said solemnly: "It's not good, it's just too close to the fire." And the people were terrified, and that was a big deal. Fu Ba immediately blamed himself: "Blame me, how can you forget him?" Just busy talking. "The more the mule and the foal hurt, the worse it became, so they swung on the ground, swept back and forth, and still did not get rid of the pain, so they jumped, climbed, and rolled, and I really didn't know what to do. Everyone's hearts fell off, it hurt, but there was no way. Fu Ba cried and laughed and shouted, "Baby, do you rest?" Just wait a minute. However, the mule and the colt couldn't hear it, and screamed again: "I can't live, I'm going to explode, I'm going to explode, I can't live...... everyone was so anxious that they circled around the mule foal, and cried with it, but they were still helpless. The mule foal began to stumble, throwing itself, trying to find out what was the pain? But he still cried out heartbreakingly: "The arm is broken, the leg is broken, the flesh is rotten, the bone is broken, the head is going to explode, I don't want to live......" Everyone cried and laughed: "Baby, don't dare, it's broken." However, the mule colt was only focused on himself, and he couldn't stop, and everyone was in a hurry, so he kept stomping his feet. Ma Junren cried: "What should I do, how can I explain to his mother?" Fu Ba also cried: "I'm the one who sets the number, me?" Everyone regretted it, patronized themselves, and cried and laughed: "Poor baby, what's wrong with you, why did you suffer such a crime?" "The mule colt was still stumbling, sweating with tears and bleeding, and like madness, red and swollen like a red man, and falling miserably. People's hearts are rotten, but they can't help, how can they help? I really wanted to replace him, so I scolded: "What is the way of the world, where is the reason of heaven, and where is the reason of heaven?" Still a kid......"

The blacksmith's family also ran out, worried about his cries, but they were just as helpless. The blacksmith's woman cried angrily and scolded: "You can't just stand, how can you find a way?" The blacksmith looked stunned, and the family knew that something was wrong. But the daughter said: "What's the use of crying, talking?" The blacksmith asked them, "Who else has a way?" The crowd said desolately, "Who can do it?" No one understands. "The mule and the colt finally rested, and when they lost their strength, they stopped moving, and they were also faint from pain, and they were unconscious. However, he was still trembling and bowing, and the pity made the cotton clothes soaked, and the more heartbroken it became. In the end, the blacksmith made a decision: "Quick, send the baby back to see his father." Also, please doctor, maybe saved. So, Fu Ba immediately arranged and shouted: "Junren, you take a group of people to send the baby back first, and I will lead another group of people to Jixian to ask for an imperial doctor." Tell his mom and dad that I'll be there soon. With that, the two groups of people hurriedly set off and set off quickly, so they hurried. It was dawn, but there were wolves, so they ran as a group.
