The wind was strong at night, taking away a lot of snowflakes, and also taking away Wei Zhi and the three of them, an adult and two children.

No one cried, they had left quietly the night before, and they looked so peaceful, and when they left, they seemed to see their happy life at the bottom of the mountain.

"Bury them all, mark them, and bring them all back to the stockade when we get back." Wei Zhihe felt that he was becoming more and more cold-blooded and impersonal now. After burying the three sick and dead villagers, he took out the name book and drew a circle on the names of the three people.

"Let's go!" The voice was still loud, and Wei Zhihe knew in his heart that he had no confidence.

The coughing sound along the way continued, and from time to time a mouthful of blood spat on the snow, bright red, stabbing people's eyes. A gust of wind came, carrying snowflakes and burying everything in the thick snow.

The zigzag team moved forward step by step against the snowflakes. Towards evening, the wind and snow were much more manic than at noon.

"Zhihe, cough cough, Zhihe." A woman tied to a horse with a soft and warm object such as a linen quilt struggles to open her mouth.

"Third sister-in-law, what's wrong?" The sister-in-law of the Zhao family is the original wife of Wei Zhi and his distant cousin Brother Zhao, and their husband and wife have no children, so the third sister-in-law once divorced her cousin, and the cousin resolutely disagreed, and said, I don't care if you have children or not, I like you. Later, my cousin went up the mountain to hunt and fell off the cliff, and the sister-in-law of the Zhao family served her feces and urine for more than half a year, but she still did not save her cousin's life.

The sister-in-law of the Zhao family did not remarry and has been living alone. It happened that Wei Changhe was born, so she was busy helping Wei Zhihe's wife in confinement, and she herself regarded Wei Changhe as her own biological child, and when Wei Changhe could speak, she called the sister-in-law of the Zhao family to godmother, which made her sister-in-law happy to death.

"Zhihe, cough cough cough." As soon as the sister-in-law of the Zhao family said a word, she began to cough, because she was lying down, and the blood clots that came out of her mouth overflowed from the corners of her mouth. Wei Zhihe carefully wiped the blood from the corner of the third sister-in-law's mouth, slowly helped her up, fed the third sister-in-law a sip of hot water, and rinsed her mouth.

"Zhihe, bring me a mouthful of snow."

"Sister-in-law, your illness ......" Wei Zhihe was a little embarrassed, such a cold day, and he was still sick.

"It's okay, I know my own body." The sister-in-law of the Zhao family insisted on asking for a mouthful of snow, but Wei Zhihe had to grab a handful of snow on the ground and put it in the hands of the sister-in-law of the Zhao family. The sister-in-law of the Zhao family took the snow ball in her hand with a trembling hand, opened her mouth and bit it with great effort. The blood in his mouth stained the snow in his hands red.

After the sister-in-law of the Zhao family took a bite of snow, her cough didn't seem to be as bad as before. The sister-in-law of the Zhao family drank and enjoyed this cold feeling, which extended from her mouth to her whole body, and the soreness on her body seemed to have disappeared. "It's so comfortable, it's been a long time since I've been like this."

Wei Zhihe didn't speak, he really didn't know how to answer this sentence again.

"That year, it was also such a heavy snowfall, he took me to run all over the mountains, and when I was tired of running, he gave me such a big snow ball." The sister-in-law of the Zhao family gestured with her hand. "He was holding me, and I was lying in his arms, warm. Also on that day, he kissed me, very sweet. ”

"It's sweet, it's sweet." The sister-in-law of the Zhao family closed her eyes as if she was recalling the scene in the past, the very sweet and sweet snow ball, the very warm and warm hug, and the very sweet and sweet kiss.

"I have him, and my life has not been in vain. I think it's time for me to go to him, he must be waiting there in a hurry, without me, I guess the bed is not warm. The sister-in-law of the Zhao family had a misty look in her eyes, as if she had seen her and beckoned to him from afar. I was tired and wanted to take a break. ”

The sister-in-law of the Zhao family grabbed the snow ball in her hand and lay down again. Maybe it's because it's too much, maybe it's because of the peace in my heart, the sister-in-law of the Zhao family fell asleep as soon as she lay down.

Wei Zhihe breathed a long sigh of relief, but his heart weighed on another stone. Tian Tian's chapped lips, walked a few steps, and caught up with the large army in front of him—

I am the dividing line - Wei Zhihe's diary:

On the fifth day, heavy snow and strong winds.

The sister-in-law of the Zhao family left after the most disappointment, and she left right away. Go find that sweet snow ball in her heart. Perhaps even as she closed her eyes to rest, she saw him waving to her not far ahead, who had left her many years ago. She must have been very happy to be in another world, where there was no freezing, no hunger, no disease. He will give her a big sweet snow ball in the group, and they will have a child, a happy life.

Despite our repeated reductions in the amount of food we eat for our escorts, we will only be able to eat for a day after tonight, and if we don't get out of the night, we will all starve to death.

Eleven patients, plus three newly infected, make a total of fourteen. On the way back, with the sister-in-law of the Zhao family, four people went, and there were ten people who were still there.

There are still two healthy children, only eight women are able to move, and nine men remain.

How will we get through the increasingly difficult road? Wei Zhihe closed the notebook and put a big question mark in his mind.
