Chapter 122: Road Closure
"What the hell is going on?" When Zhong Dashan came out with a change of clothes and drank hot soup to warm his body, Jin Mo was anxious to know.
Zhong Dashan told the story.
Last night, Zhong Jiang heard a movement behind the house, and at first thought it was a thief, so he called his daughter-in-law to get dressed and go out to catch the thief.
When the two heard the child's cry, they happened to see the wolf running away with the youngest son, who was only one and a half years old.
At this moment, the two husbands and wives were crying and shouting.
The person next door to his house knew the situation and immediately went to find the village chief, who immediately called the strong men in the village to chase him, but it had been a while in the past, and even if they chased him, the chance of chasing them back was not very great.
"Hey, poor boy died in the belly of the wolf." In the winter, there is already a lack of food, that is, people can't eat enough, not to mention those wild beasts, if they don't eat, they will definitely stretch their magic grip into the village.
"Who said it wasn't, we chased for most of the night, the snow was too big, if we continued to go forward, it would be difficult to come back, and finally the village chief directly beckoned everyone to come back." It's not that they don't want to, but they all know in their hearts that most of the children have no hope of living, and the snow in the mountains is even bigger, and they can drown their entire calves when they step on it, and it is difficult to walk, let alone continue to look for people.
You can't catch up with other villagers because of a child who knows that he can't find it.
"The village chief is right to do this, and we can't let everyone sacrifice again because of a child who has no hope of getting it back." Help go out to find people, read the people of a village, they are all ancestors, if you don't help, you can't say that people are cold-blooded and ruthless, this day, no one wants to have an accident.
Losing a child, it is better than losing a strong force, the child can not lift his shoulders and can not carry, the strength of the work is different, it is the pillar of the family, if the pillar falls, then his family will be scattered, no one wants to convert their own interests because of other people's homes, people, are selfish. "They didn't make a fuss."
"How can you not make trouble, but this matter is not our business, the village chief will take care of it." So many strong men in the whole village helped to find most of the night, hard and tired, and they couldn't even get a good sentence, can they not find it, the problem is that they know that they can't find it, how can they find it, and the snow is getting heavier and heavier, and the road can't be seen clearly, knowing that the danger ahead is still stupid to rush forward, if something happens, who will take the responsibility.
"As the saying goes, a good person has a good reward, but sometimes it may not be, and if you help, you can't get a good word. I can understand their feelings, but everyone is not obligated to do so. "Greed is not enough to swallow elephants, everyone should be grateful if they can help, what if they don't help.
"Don't talk about them, let's just worry about ourselves." Zhong Dashan scratched the tip of his daughter-in-law's nose, what is there to be angry about, there won't be much of this kind of thing anyway.
As soon as this happened, the people in the village were alert, and the people who did not build the courtyard wall were very worried.
Because of this, the atmosphere of the whole village is in a depressing atmosphere.
The wolves came down the mountain, and it must have been because of the heavy snow, and they couldn't find food, so they went down the mountain.
The village chief organized a patrol team, and each family had to send one person, who would be replaced in the morning and evening, in groups of ten people.
The village chief even held a meeting, telling the villagers to close the doors and windows at night, and not to go out easily when they heard the movement.
In this tense and depressing atmosphere, three days later, another major incident occurred in the village.
Fortunately, in the village, the noise alarmed the neighbors, and everyone rescued them in time.
Unlike the year before last, the old bald man lived alone at the end of the village, and there were no people around, and no one noticed that the house was crushed by the snow, and it was not until someone passed by in the morning that he knew.
The successive accidents have made the upcoming New Year much deeper and less enthusiastic than before.
Zhong Dashan and Jin Mo took the family to live their own small days behind closed doors, fortunately, Aunt Wu had already bought all the New Year's goods before, and there was nothing lacking at home, just waiting for the New Year.
Although there are not many people in the family, there will still be some, such as Zhong Lai's house, such as the Wang family next door, and Zhong Qiang, who brings more or less things over, and similarly, Jin Mo will also give them a gift in return, which is all custom, and it is not exempt from vulgarity.
But she also got a not-so-good news from them.
It is said that the blizzard for several days has cut off the road to the outside, and their Longxian County is still good, and several counties next door to Longxian County have had snowstorms, and countless houses have collapsed, and many people have been crushed to death.
The inability to transport grain has led to a continuous increase in the price of rice and grain in county towns and towns.
When she heard Ding's complaint, Jin Mo was stunned, she had never encountered such a natural disaster in modern times.
I didn't expect to meet it in the first year of wearing, is it fortunate or unlucky?
Grain, rice and flour, charcoal, firewood, these are all necessary things for winter, they have more homes, but don't worry, I thought that Qiangzi approved so much firewood can be used until the spring of next year, and now this snow disaster has come, but it has become a life-saving, the world is unpredictable~~~
Lu Yiyi, the most bitter is not the common people, the family has food is slightly better, the most eat some, can survive this winter, the worst is the family has no food and no money, this winter is difficult, the rest of those are eating less, it is estimated that they will not survive the spring, no one knows when the heavy snow will stop.
The village was filled with sighs and sighs.
During the Chinese New Year, I have long lost this thought, and the days are almost unbearable, and I am grateful for the year and the life until tomorrow.
However, there are also people who use their brains, and they hit Zhong Dashan's house with their ideas, knowing that his family's life is better, and they have seen him buy a lot of food back, and some people want to come to the door and ask him to borrow food.
The people who came to Zhong Dashan's house to borrow grain were a few misbehaving people in the village, and their usual trick was to cheat, what they thought was to borrow grain, and when the snow disaster passed, they could play tricks and give it to Lai, anyway, Zhong Dashan's family had money, so it was not bad.
Zhong Dashan is not really stupid, he still doesn't know what their idea is, they know what they want to do as soon as they open their mouths, what they say is to borrow grain, and the ugly thing is to ask for food shamelessly, if this grain is lent out, eighty percent of it will not be recovered.
His family's grain was not stolen and robbed, it was all bought with real money, and he refused to sign an IOU for borrowing grain, who would be willing to borrow grain.
In the end, those people's calculations naturally failed, so he would not sympathize with them, who let them usually not know how to accumulate some, otherwise there would not be nothing left.
"Daughter-in-law, am I doing well?" Zhong Dashan came to Jin Mo and looked at Jin Mo with an expression that quickly praised me.
Jin Mo pushed Zhong Dashan's huge head away and glanced at him, "Okay, how can it be bad." "If he dares to lend this grain, see that she doesn't break his dog's legs.
"Hey, I know." Zhong Dashan smiled silly.
"You know what you know, if you can lend them food for such a person, I will break your legs." Jin Mo glanced at Zhong Dashan, and he didn't seem to understand what she meant.
Hearing that he was going to break his leg, Zhong Dashan jumped to the side in fright, took a serious look at his leg, and patted his thigh again, fortunately, fortunately, otherwise this leg would not be saved. "Daughter-in-law, isn't it a little too ruthless?" Isn't it a bit serious to break his leg, and it's okay to starve him a few times.
"Seriously? It should be okay, didn't you do that, what are you so nervous about? ”
"Can you not be nervous, your leg is broken, and the recovery is not good, but it will be wasted, daughter-in-law, are you willing to do it."
"Willingly, then you will be dragged by me in my hands. When I say east, I go east, and when I say west, I go west, and you can't go against me. ”
"Haven't I always listened to you? Don't be so cruel and don't treat me well. Zhong Dashan directly looked at Jin Mo and became cute and coquettish.
"Don't shake, don't shake." Jin Mo couldn't stand it and patted the back of his hand a few times, how old he is, and he still learns from the girl's family to be coquettish, and he is not afraid of damaging his manly dignity. "Xianggong, don't shake, it's uncomfortable." Jin Mo was dizzy by Zhong Dashan's shaking, and his stomach was uncomfortable, so he tugged at his clothes tightly.
"Daughter-in-law." Zhong Dashan nervously held her in his arms and called softly. Hurriedly picked up the teacup on the side and handed it to her mouth: "Daughter-in-law, you drink saliva and moisten it." ”
Jin Mo took a few sips of water from Zhong Dashan's hand, she was just dizzy, and after taking a sip of water, she quickly eased up, but she was very puzzled, she had never been in such a situation.
"Daughter-in-law, are you better, what else is uncomfortable?" Zhong Dashan was in a hurry.
"It's much better, but suddenly I fainted, and here is blocked." took Zhong Dashan's hand and put it to his heart.
When Zhong Dashan heard this, his heart fluttered, he picked up Jin Mo Daheng, strode out of the flower hall and carried her back to their house in the backyard, and put her on the bed to rest. "Close your eyes and sleep for a while, probably because it's too cold."
"Okay." Not to mention, she really felt a little sleepy.
Not long after Jin Mo lay on the bed, he heard the sound of long breathing.
Zhong Dashan is still not very relieved, this is all good, why is it suddenly like this.
After watching her for a while, he didn't leave the backyard until she was asleep, and went straight to the front yard to find Wang.
"Brother Wang, I'm sorry for you to go to town and ask a doctor to come back." He knew that the road would not be easy, but for the sake of his daughter-in-law's health, he could only work hard for Brother Wang to run.
"Childe, who is sick?" Wang Shi didn't dare to delay, and asked as he walked.
"Madame just fainted, usually she is in good health, I am worried that it is too cold this day, it may be uncomfortable, look at the doctor to calm down." Zhong Dashan explained.
"Okay, I'll go."
