In 1980, almost three years after China's reform and opening up, people in the rural areas of the interior were still suffering from hunger and cold. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

After days of heavy snowfall, a group of outsiders engaged in side jobs were blocked at the foot of the mountain range, and they had stopped for three or four days in a small village called Donggou, and their dry food had long since been eaten, and their tattered clothes could not withstand the cold in the ravine.

The tall and thin man with his head looked dish, but a pair of small eyes were full of cunning, and he said to his companion: "Do you want to do it?" ”

These hungry and cold companions were silent.

"If we don't do it, we'll hurry home, and we'll die at home!" Skinny tall emphasis.

A dwarf asked: "But this is illegal, if you are caught, you will be sent in!" ”

"This is detrimental to yin morality, I'm afraid!"

The tall and thin man said angrily: "I'm afraid of a fart!" We're all starving to death here, if you don't have the courage to plant and go back, I'm done! As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and was about to leave.

His companions hurriedly grabbed him, and the little man asked, "Ma Pole, are you completely sure?" ”

The tall thin man called "Ma Pole" spit out a mouthful of phlegm on the snow, "Of course I'm sure, and I have found someone who has gone in, and when the time comes, everyone will divide the contents equally, and at least they can exchange for a year's rations!" ”

A year's ration was a great temptation for those who had not had enough to eat all year round, and they were immediately reinvigorated.

"Ma Pole, what do you say, we will listen to you!"

"Yes, we all listen to you!"

So he and his companions found a mason who was breaking stones.

"Brother Su, we have agreed to do it, where is the old Xue you said now?"

The mason surnamed Su put away the brick knife, "You come with me!" ”

The masons led them over the mountains to a ravine called the Wild Fox Gully, and then he stopped and looked around, and a thin old man on the hillside who was smoking a dry cigarette against a cow stood up at once when he saw them coming.

"Second uncle, they did it, when will we act?"

After the second uncle took the last puff of cigarettes, pinned the cigarette pouch and pot into his belt, and asked again and again: "You really decided to do it?" ”

"We've decided, anyway, this is also an ownerless thing, if we don't do it, we will starve to death, and the family is still waiting for us to take the food back!"

"Then you guys are ready, wait for me here after dark!"

"Why do you do it after dark?" Timid questions for little people.

The tall and thin man immediately scolded: "Can you do this thing in broad daylight?" ”

After dark, this group of people came here with shovels and lanterns to meet the second uncle. The snow was blowing and the cold was pressing, and everyone didn't say a word, and stopped in front of a cave.

"This is it, let's start digging!" The second uncle ordered.

The group quickly picked up their tools and went into the cave, digging deeper, and soon piled up a new piece of soil at the entrance of the cave.

"It's dug through, let's get in quickly!" The mason surnamed Su greeted these people and asked the second uncle to take the lead, and they rushed in. But soon their exclamations could be heard from the dark cavern.

But their exclamations in the cave were soon drowned out by the howling mountain wind.

After dawn, the group of people came out of the cave like walking corpses with expressionless faces.

"After you leave, don't come back, as if nothing happened!" The second uncle advised these outsiders.

But what has happened can still be treated as if it never happened?
