In a remote place, there is a village called Luohua Village, there are snowflakes floating in the sky above Luohua Village, Luohua Village has never had such a heavy snow in these years, and even the surface of this long stream has formed a thick layer of ice.

There is an old man and a little boy standing at the entrance of the village, the old man and the little boy both have bamboo baskets on their shoulders, the old man's name is Meng Renzhe, and the little boy's name is Meng Xia, and the tattered clothes on their bodies are no different from beggars.

The little boy on the side was shivering with cold, and his voice was trembling when he spoke.

"Grandpa, let's go back! You see that the only road up the mountain is buried by heavy snow, although we have been walking this road all the year round, and we are very familiar with this road, but we are not afraid of 10,000 just in case, and we can't see the road clearly in case we step on the air, then isn't it over? ”

The little boy glanced at his grandfather, and then kept looking at the most familiar mountain road in the past, if his grandfather insisted on going, there was no way, but he could only go up the mountain, life and death.

The old man beside him also shook his head and sighed.

"This snow has been falling for a few days, there has not been such a long snow in previous years, and I don't know when this snow will stop, the firewood at home is almost insufficient, and when it is not snowing, you can go to the mountains to cut firewood to burn, pick herbs and sell them for money, and now I don't know what to do."

The little boy saw his grandfather's lost expression and comforted him.

"It's okay grandpa, if the firewood runs out in a few days and the snow doesn't stop, I'll go to Xiao Na and Xiao Qi to borrow it, as long as I'm thick-skinned enough, I can borrow it."

The old man also glanced at his grandson and nodded, he was relieved and ashamed, and he didn't know when his nine-year-old grandson would grow up, and he went up the mountain to chop wood and collect medicine with him at the age of four, and the old man looked at his grandson again.

"Let's go back!"

The old man walked on the way back.

"Xiao Xia! Have you ever wondered if Cortana and Xiaoqi and their families borrowed firewood from us, would their families be as short of firewood as ours? ”

Every household in Luohua Village does not have the habit of saving firewood, because in previous years, it was basically light snow, and it would stop in a few days, and the mountain road would not be the same as today.

The little boy also silently lowered his head and did not reply, and the little boy really didn't think of this.

The old man and the little boy also returned to their house, and the little boy sat by the fire, not knowing what he was thinking, and the old man came to the kitchen to prepare for cooking.

The little boy's home is the most dilapidated in Luohua Village, with only two dilapidated rooms and a kitchen, and a very small yard, because there are no herbs on the ground in the yard in the snowy past few days, so usually, if the ground is full of herbs in the past, there is no place to walk.

There was a sudden knock at the entrance of the courtyard.

A little boy shouted.

"Xiao Xia, come out quickly, it's snowing so hard, it's a pity not to come out to play in the snow."

Mengxia also heard who the little boy was, stood up and ran quickly to the gate of the courtyard, opened the door and saw a man and a woman, smiling at herself, Mengxia also smiled, the little boy and the little girl were dressed in tatters like Mengxia, the little boy was about the same age as Mengxia, and the little girl was one year younger than Mengxia.

Meng Xia wondered.

"Is it uncomfortable to go out and play on such a cold day, staying by the fire? You have to run out and suffer. ”

Meng Qi glanced at Meng Xia and mocked.

"Cortana is not afraid of the cold, you are a boy and you are not ashamed of being cold!"

Meng Xia also looked at Meng Xiaona, and found that Xiao Na was dressed similarly to herself, so she also asked.

"Cortana, are you really going to hang out? Isn't it cold to wear so little? What to do if you catch a cold then. ”

Mengxia also cares about Cortana, after all, she is a girl, and on such a cold day, if she really catches a cold, she will definitely be very uncomfortable.

Cortana scratched her head and replied coquettishly.

"It's okay Brother Mengxia, Xiao Na will pay attention, Xiao Na has never seen such a big snowfall, Brother Meng Xia will accompany Xiao Na to play on the other side of the river?" Mengxia couldn't resist Xiao Na's coquettishness, so she could only agree to go.

An old man's voice came from inside the house.

"Stay safe and remember to come back early."

Mengxia replied.

"Got it, Grandpa"

When several people came to the river, Mengxia and Xiao Na showed surprised expressions, but Mengqi said excitedly.

"This stream is frozen, is it possible to play on it?"

Mengxia replied.

"Wouldn't it be dangerous?"

Mengqi ignored what Mengxia said, and slowly walked onto the ice, because the ice was too slippery, it couldn't stand at all, Mengqi accidentally sat on the ice, fortunately the ice was thick enough, otherwise Mengqi would have fallen into the water, and the two people on the shore were also startled.

Mon Xiao Na said worriedly.

"Brother Xiaoqi, are you okay?"

Meng Qi continued to stand up, this time he didn't even fall, and turned his head to look at Meng Xiaona.

"Don't worry, it's okay, Cortana is very fun here, this ice is very thick and won't fall into the water, don't worry about coming up and playing."

Xiao Na also slowly walked to the ice, also like Meng Qi, sitting on the ice with one ass, Xiao Na slowly got up, and sat down again without standing firm, Meng Qi covered her mouth and snickered on the side, but still slowly walked to Xiao Na's side, stretched out her little hand and pulled Xiao Na up, Meng Qi took Xiao Na's hand and walked around on the ice.

Meng Qi turned his head to look at Meng Xia Dao.

"Mengxia, don't you come down to play?"

Mengxia replied.

"Let's play! I'll just watch you play here."

Mengxia squatted down, got a pile of snow next to him with his hands, and then built the snow into a snowman, Mengxia turned his head to look at Mengqi and Cortana from time to time, seeing that they were talking and laughing, and he didn't know why he laughed along.
