True love is like a vast grassland, and layers of wind and snow cannot be blocked.

In the land of Hanzhong, in a dry canal by an unknown wheat field, the second uncle held Zhao Jinjiao, who was shivering from the cold, in his arms, and he tried to warm up his sworn brother, but in vain.

He himself, too, is cold.

The snow was falling heavily, and the weather was freezing.

In a foreign land far from home, there is nothing more poignant and helpless than this moment.

Originally, they still had two quilts and three cotton clothes, but now, they really have nothing.

The courage to break the cauldron has always been lacking in the third brother, otherwise they would not have fallen to this point.

"It's all my fault!"

The second uncle remorsefully smashed his fist into the snow-covered dirt, he really regretted it, what a illustrious dream, what a bullshit good omen, everything was a lie!

He regretted it, it was his impulsiveness and recklessness that completely plunged the third brother into a place of no return.

They have nothing left now!

Hunger and cold were not enough to destroy the second uncle.

What makes him desperate is where his path lies.

Holding the second uncle's hand in the snow with one hand, Zhao Jinjiao looked at the second uncle, shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "Brother, I don't blame you, I never blame you... I just blame myself, blame myself for not being able to save money, so that I am so embarrassed now. ”

"Good brother!"

The second uncle had tears in his eyes, it was all at this time, and the third brother didn't blame him, it was really shameless to call him the eldest brother.

"Brother, this is all fate, what is there to complain about, to regret, our days are still long." Zhao Jinjiao raised his hand to wipe away the tears of Brother Jinzhong, in order not to make the elder brother sad, he asked the second brother where Xu Yingyuan went.

The second uncle said: "The second uncle saw that you were very cold, so I went to pick up some firewood and came back to burn it." ”

Thinking that the second uncle Xu Yingyuan had gone out for a while and should come back, the second uncle stood up from the ditch and wanted to climb up to see if Xu Yingyuan had come back.

They chose to take refuge in this dry canal because there was nowhere to go. The wind is strong, blowing people's faces and ears hurt, and the whole body hurts, it is better to squat under the canal, although it can't stop the snowflakes, but how can you avoid the wind.

"You stay, I'll go up and have a look."

The second uncle said hello to Zhao Jinjiao, and then climbed up, and a dark shadow in the wind and snow was running towards him.

"Is it the second one?"

The second uncle shouted at the top of his voice, the wind was strong, no, the sound could not be far away.

"Brother, it's me."

The black shadow was really Xu Yingyuan, and the second uncle couldn't help but be happy when he saw that he was holding a bundle of hay and a small bundle of branches in his hand, but then he thought of something, and his brows furrowed.

"It's time to bake the fire!"

Xu Yingyuan jumped down the drain, thinking about quickly lighting the fire and roasting it warmly, but he didn't notice that Brother Jinzhong's expression was wrong. He had a fire fold on his body, and he carefully covered it with his clothes and lit it a few times, and finally raised the fire.

With the fire, Zhao Jinjiao on the side immediately felt extremely warm, and people subconsciously moved closer to the fire.

After the fire was bigger, Xu Yingyuan dared to break the branches and put them on little by little. After a while, the fire was completely ignited.

"Brother, come down and sprinkle." Xu Yingyuan raised his head and shouted.

"This firewood is touchable, right?" The second uncle jumped down, squatted by the fire, and stretched out his hand to turn over the oven.

Xu Yingyuan said "uh-huh" and nodded.

There are no shops in front of the village in this country, and there is snow everywhere, so you can't find any hay. It was also difficult for him to see a family at a fork in the road a few miles away, and he hid for a long time before he mustered up the courage to steal the firewood. On the way back, I was too scared to be afraid that someone would catch up with me.

The second uncle sighed, a little sad, and said, "Alas, we don't have any money on us, if we have it, we have to buy it from others... They are all croppers, and they are bitter... In this heavy snowfall, we took what others burned, and others burned it. ”

"Brother, I know that you are a benevolent and righteous person, but this time, let's take care of ourselves first. The third child is about to freeze out. After Xu Yingyuan finished speaking, he patted the snowflakes on his head and shoulders. Some of them have melted and are flowing down their necks, cold and uncomfortable.

The second uncle didn't say anything more, and the third brother sat around the fire.

It was getting darker and darker, and there was nothing but snow in the vast field.

The second uncle stared at the fire blankly, and his right hand turned twice with a small stick from time to time.

Xu Yingyuan and Zhao Jinjiao took off their shoes, one was drying the soles of their feet, and the other was drying their shoes.

The feet of these two brothers are very smelly, and as soon as the fire is baked, it immediately stinks.

The second uncle laughed, he didn't dislike it at all, he also took off his shoes and baked them together.

Although the snow was still falling, there was a fire, like light in the night.

The third brother's state of mind at this time probably didn't want anything, just the momentary warmth in front of him.

However, after a long time, the problems they did not want to think about still came to the fore.

The fire in the fire is getting smaller and smaller, and when the fire is extinguished, what will they do?

Where do they sleep tonight?

Do you just sleep in this ditch?

That will definitely not work, if you really want to do this, tomorrow the people passing by will see three dead husbands who are frozen and stiff.

The second uncle stood up, he was the boss, he had to find a way.

Xu Yingyuan and Zhao Jinjiao put on their shoes and stood up after them.

Their eyes are as firm as ever, and they will always follow Brother Jinzhong.

The second uncle hesitated for a moment and asked Xu Yingyuan, "How far is that family?" ”

Xu Yingyuan said: "Four or five miles of land." ”

"Let's take a look." The second uncle patted his ass and climbed up.

"Hey, good!"

Xu Yingyuan hurriedly helped Zhao Jinjiao to climb up.

The third brother went east in the wind and snow, and walked for half an hour for four or five miles, first, the wind was too strong, and second, it was dark, and he couldn't see the road clearly.

The second uncle wanted to take the two brothers to ask for a favor with that family, and keep them for a night, even if they slept in a firewood room, which was better than freezing to death.

When I arrived not far from the house, I found that the lights were on in the house, and the voice of a man came from the house, and many people were listening.

The second uncle hesitated, he looked around, and his gaze was fixed on the haystack of others.

"Don't disturb people, don't let people be thieves."

The second uncle pointed to the haystack and signaled that the two brothers might as well drill the haystack and make do it all night.

The haystack is huge, and it's definitely warmer to drill inside than outside.

Xu Yingyuan and Zhao Jinjiao are also afraid of making others thieves, just the three of them, and a guy can beat them and roll on the ground. Holding his breath at the moment, he followed the second uncle to the haystack. Then the three brothers worked hard together, and forced to dig out a small hole under the haystack that could accommodate three people. After getting in, I filled in the grass outside, leaving only a small opening to breathe.

Warm, much warmer than outside.

The three brothers couldn't see anyone's face, so they leaned on each other and curled up inside.

At this moment, their hearts are connected.

In the courtyard of that house, the sound of firecrackers suddenly came from the house.

"Thunderbolt Horn".

The three were stunned for a moment: Is it the thirtieth night of Chinese New Year's Eve?
