After walking on the rugged road for a long time, you can see all kinds of discarded household appliances, cars and household garbage everywhere, and the more you go up, the narrower the road becomes, and the more difficult it is to get off your feet. The children, tired and tired, began to cry. Shao Hu and the rest of the brothers hugged one by one, comforting them while continuing to climb up.

Finally climbed to the top of the mountain, and further down was an abyss, and even the abyss was full of garbage. But there is still a drop of more than 100 meters from here to the abyss below, how can we go down? Shao Hu turned around to look at Black Butterfly, only to see that she took out a bundle of rope from her backpack, tied one end to an abandoned car, and the other end dropped into the abyss, landing right on the garbage below.

When the children saw it, their faces turned pale with fright, and their legs and feet trembled. Shao Hu squatted down again to comfort them and said, "As long as we go down, we will leave the Great Snow Mountain." Look there—" pointing in the direction of the southeast, "isn't that the City of Dawn?" When you arrive in Dawn, you can meet your mom and dad. So hold on a little longer and don't be afraid,"

A boy in his teens plucked up his courage and said to Shao Hu: "Uncle, we are not afraid! ”

Shao Hu patted him on the head and praised him for his good appearance, but still saw a few girls crying, so he walked up to them and asked, "Do you want to go home?" Do you want to be your mother? The girls all nodded. Shao Hu then said: "When you go down, just close your eyes, and you will be down in a while." ”

At this time, Black Butterfly fastened her harness to the rope and walked over to a girl and said, "What's your name?" The girl said timidly, "My name is Xiaohua." Black Butterfly smiled and touched Xiaohua's face and said, "Xiaohua? What a nice name. Auntie will take you down, okay? ”

Xiaohua said, "I'm afraid. ”

Black Butterfly took out a handkerchief from his pocket and said, "If you use this blindfold, you won't be afraid." Xiaohua looked at the black butterfly and did not speak. Black Butterfly blindfolded Xiaohua and hugged her and began to fasten her seat belt. After finishing her work, she hugged Xiaohua and said to Shao Hu, "I'll take her down first." You know how to get it next, right? ”

Shao Hu nodded.

Black Butterfly grabbed the pulley in her right hand, held the little flower left and right, jumped into the abyss, and slowly slid down. When they got to the bottom, Black Butterfly unbuckled their harnesses and lit a fire not far away. In this way, Shao Hu and the others can see clearly from above.

Shao Hu then pulled up the seat belt through another rope in parallel. This time, Aaron went down with another girl. Shao Hu said to the remaining children: "You think it's safe, right? There's nothing to be afraid of. Did anyone dare to go down alone? ”

Boys, look at me, I'll look at you, and more than thirty of them raised their hands.

Shao Hu said yes repeatedly. When Ah Kang pulled up his seat belt, Shao Hu arranged for the brave boys to slide down one by one. So there are more than a dozen girls left, and there are only four people here: Shao Hu, Ah Kang, Da Xiong, and Er Xiong, how can we send them down? Shao Hu was worried.

At this time, a teenage girl stood up and said, "Uncle, I can also go down by myself." A seven or eight-year-old girl next to her said, "As long as Sister Xiaoqing holds me, I am willing to go down with her." ”

Xiaoqing took the girl's hand and said to Shao Hu, "I'll go down with Xiaomei." ”

Shao Hu patted them on the shoulder, pulled them over to tie the seat belt, and said to Xiaoqing, "Don't look down." If you're scared, close your eyes. ”

Xiaoqing nodded, and then went down with Xiaomei in her arms.

waited until the east was getting brighter, and then sent these more than fifty children below. Black Butterfly asked Aaron to take the children first, and took out the lighter himself and set the rope on fire. Shao Hu asked her, "What should I do when I come back?" ”

Black Butterfly smiled and asked rhetorically, "Are you still planning to come back?" ”

Shao Hu asked himself, he still wanted to come back, so he said, "What should you do?" ”

Black Butterfly said, "I have my own way. As he spoke, he pulled Shao Hu's arm and rushed forward together.

The mountain roads are almost unwalkable. After walking for two or three miles, Shao Hu opened his mask and immediately smelled fresh air, mixed with the smell of grass and trees. Seeing that there were mountains in front of him, he deliberately leaned towards the black butterfly and asked in a low voice, "Do you know the path ahead?" ”

Black Butterfly snorted and asked him again, "You know that too, right?" ”

Shao Hu said: "There are four cities in Dawn City, east, west, north and south, and the most chaotic is the North City. When I first heard you say that I could take the children out, I was so happy that I forgot to ask you where you came from, and if we knew that you had chosen this route, we really had to think about it. ”

Black Butterfly smiled and asked, "Are you scared?" ”

Shao Hu didn't answer, but looked back at the Great Snow Mountain, seeing that the location of the palace was still shining, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "When will it be finished!" ”

The black butterfly was silent when she saw it, and rushed forward with her head down.

At seven or eight o'clock in the morning, the group walked into the forest of Beishan.

After walking more than ten miles, I saw a mountain field in front of me, planted with crops, vegetables, etc., and there were more than 20 families in the middle, and smoke was rising. Ah Long said to Shao Hu: "We don't care about the mountain road in the middle of the night, but we are afraid that the children are already hungry and thirsty. There were a few families in front of us, and we happened to go over to buy some food. ”

Shao Hu nodded, suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Did you bring any money?"

Ah Long was stunned for a moment, turned his face to look at Ah Kang, Da Xiong, and Erxiong, they all shook their heads, the four of them were used to living in the Great Snow Mountain, and they didn't have any points on them.

Shao Hu walked forward, caught up with Black Butterfly and asked, "Do you have any money with you?" ”

Black Butterfly asked rhetorically, "What do you want money for?" ”

Shao Hu pointed to the mountain village in front of him and said, "We want to go there and buy some food." ”

Black Butterfly sighed and said, "Although I don't have any money, it's good to have this—" As she spoke, she raised her left hand and ruffled her hair, only to see a gold nail on her earlobe.

Shao Hu thought to himself that it would be too inappropriate for you to take the gold nail to exchange for a breakfast.

Black Butterfly glanced at Shao Hu again, and said with a smile: "This village is called Sanhu Village, and this mountain is called Sanhu Mountain. Do you know? ”

Shao Hu shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

Black Butterfly continued: "This 'Three Tigers' does not mean that there were once three tigers here. The homonym of 'Three Tigers' is 'Kill Tigers', now you understand, right? A long time ago, there were tigers here, and an old hunter lived here and killed a total of three tigers during his lifetime. So people called the village where he lived 'Killing Tiger Village', and the mountain 'Three Tiger Mountain'. Later, people felt that it was ominous to have the word 'kill' in the name of the village, so they replaced the word 'kill' with 'three'. I have said so much to give you a wake-up call, because you also have a 'tiger' in your name, but you have walked into the 'Tiger Killing Village' of 'Tiger Killing Mountain', I am afraid that the future will be very unfavorable to you. ”

Shao Hu couldn't help but laugh when he heard the vernacular of the black butterfly.

"Although it is a small village, there is also a grocery store, from which more than 20 families buy their daily needs. ”

Shao Hu asked, "How do you know so much detail?" ”

Black Butterfly smiled and said, "What am I doing?" ”

After a while, the group came to the entrance of the village and saw the grocery store that Black Butterfly said was locked. I was doubting, I heard the noise in the village, and when I walked over, it turned out that a family was setting up a banquet for a happy event, with a red cloth hanging on the door, and seven or eight large round tables were placed in the open space in front of the door, and about eighty or ninety people were sitting.

The people at the banquet were very surprised to see several soldiers leading dozens of children in front of them.

The owner of the house, surnamed Bai, was a young mountain man who had met Black Butterfly a few times. Black Butterfly hurriedly explained. Master Bai was very happy to hear this, and waved his hand to call two neighbors to set up another long table, and brought more than ten stools, and beckoned them to sit down.

Shao Hu and the children just sat down, and the big bowls of meat were quickly brought to the table. They had been running for days, and how had they ever eaten a full meal? So they picked up their chopsticks, grabbed a piece of fat and sent it to their mouths, and the gobbling up made the mountain people next to them stunned.

The white master smiled and accompanied Black Butterfly's side. Black Butterfly understood, and hurriedly took off the nail from his left ear, handed it to him, and said, "We came in a hurry, and we didn't have any money on us. This golden nail can be counted as food money. ”

Unexpectedly, the white master actually pushed Black Butterfly's hand away, and said with a smile: "Today is my son's full moon, and he held this banquet and invited the whole village over." Our custom here is that we especially like to entertain uninvited guests we don't know at the banquet, not only to entertain them well, but also to give them kind words when they leave, because one accumulates virtue for oneself and the other accumulates blessings for children. Therefore, no matter how many strangers come, treat them as if they were friends and family. ”

When Shao Hu heard this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: There is a lot of war outside, and you are fighting to the death, and in this place outside the world, the mountain residents are so simple, alas, I really don't know what happened to be born as a human being!

Black Butterfly had no choice but to take the golden nail back and put it back on her ear. Shao Hu sat very close to her, watching her lift her hair and put on her earrings, he was so excited that he stared at her side face for a while. She also found out, her face flushed, and she said softly: "Don't look at it, let's eat quickly, I don't know when the next meal will be." ”

Shao Hu immediately realized his faux pas and was very sorry.

As soon as half of the wine and food on the long table were eaten, the white master brought a new round of hot dishes to the neighbors. Their hospitality is true.

Black Butterfly's meal was not large, so after eating two coriander nests and picking a few pieces of tamale, he was full of burps. Master Bai had just finished toasting the mountain people over there, and came here to toast again. Black Butterfly said to Master Bai, "Big Brother Bai, I don't know if you can let me take a look at your child?" ”

Master Bai smiled and said, "What's wrong with this!" Wait a minute, when I'm done toasting these brothers. So while toasting Shao Hu and them, he continued to say to Black Butterfly: "To be honest, I have been married for three years, but I have never had children, so I thought, is it because I go hunting in the mountains all day and kill too many creatures, God is not happy, and I am going to die?" So I dug a pit and buried all the muskets and ammunition in my house, and from then on I only bought and sold some wild vegetables and fruits. Who knew that in this way, my daughter-in-law would be pregnant with my child in less than half a year! - Guys, drink more! And you children, you all have to eat well! ”

Then, Master White led the way in front and led Black Butterfly into the middle hall of his house.
