"Let's go together, or we can take care of each other." Li Wenlong buttoned up the collar. "We have to find a way to tell Bao Wei to gather people together. It's hard for everyone to work one by one."

"I'll try to tell him later." the pillar felt that he was about to catch his breath. The strong wind mixed with snowflakes rushed towards him like a sharp blade cutting his cheek. By the way, even the filtering function of your nostrils is sealed.

The two men quickly rushed to the old man's house just now. At this time, the snow was getting heavier and heavier. They stepped on one foot and did not pass the whole foot to the ankle. In the strong wind, the old man's house looked more and more dilapidated. If the people here didn't do real work, it was estimated that the house would have been blown down. Rao was so, and the wooden strips on the windows had been blown away, The supporting board had slipped down by now, and there were obvious signs of collapse on the window frame.

"Come on, hurry up" Li Wenlong rushed into the room first. He thought that the old lady should be curled up in bed and scared, but after entering, he found that the old man was sitting on a wooden stool in the middle of the room, with his eyes closed and his mouth muttering.

"Aunt, the house can't live anymore, so we have to go quickly." then Li Wenlong came forward to carry the old lady. Unexpectedly, he was stopped by a column as soon as he collapsed.

"Manager, let's go out!" The pillar looked dignified and whispered to Li Wenlong.

"What do you say? It's time to go out. Give me a hand and carry people out again," Li Wenlong said loudly.

Mud has fallen from time to time in the corner of the wall, and I see that the house is about to collapse.

"Manager, let's go out. After going out, I'll tell you, it's too late, hurry up." the strength of the column burst out. Unexpectedly, he lazily picked up Li Wenlong and ran out of the door. As soon as the two figures appeared outside, the house collapsed.

"What are you doing? What did you say you were doing? " Angrily, Li Wenlong slapped the pillar. "I can just carry her out. That's good?"

He stretched out his hand to slap the pillar again, but Li Wenlong held back. Everything had happened. What's the use of killing the pillar? The old lady won't come out either.

"Don't be angry, manager. She's ready to leave just now. Don't you see her sitting there neatly dressed? What's more, there are words in his mouth, that is, saying goodbye to the world, which is a common way to die here. Alas, at such an old age, no one cares on weekdays... "Zhu said the reason again.

"So watch a life disappear?" Li Wenlong is still very angry.

"Manager, sometimes death is good for some people!" The pillar looked at the ruins and didn't even mean to go in and save, because he knew that even if he had just rescued the old man, the old man would choose other ways to end his life, because in her opinion, it was the end of his life. Instead of letting her choose other ways again, he might as well let her leave so calmly.

"You..." pointing to the pillar, Li Wenlong was speechless, but he also knew that there was a certain reason for the pillar to say so. The reality of the old lady lay here. Even if it was really transferred, the future life would be a big problem, let alone the knife edge company, Even his hometown, Baodong County, has no ability to say that all such old people are supported by the yamen, not to mention this remote area where food and clothing can not be solved?

"That's it this time, but there must be no such thing in the future. Anyway, human life is crucial." looking at the pile of ruins, Li Wenlong hated himself for being useless. If he had made a greater determination, maybe the old man was still alive at the moment, but now, the old man has passed away from himself.

"Well," the pillar nodded, "manager, Angie, they're coming"

The pillar pointed not far away.

"Manager" an Baowei ran over with several people.

"Baowei" Li Wenlong reached out and patted an Baowei on the shoulder. He couldn't help crying again.

"Manager, this is also an alternative natural phenomenon of knife edge company. Alas, there is no way," an Baowei comforted.

"There can't be such a thing next. No matter what customs there are, as long as there are conditions, save people first." Li Wenlong looked at the ruins. He can even imagine the instant when the old man was hit below. What would it be like for the old man at that time!

"Ango Ango, the house over there is dying again. Come on!" As soon as Li Wenlong had finished, someone shouted not far away.

Li Wenlong ran quickly. The man stood at the door and didn't dare to go in. The house was crumbling and in danger of collapse at any time.

"Go in and save people" Li Wenlong didn't stop and rushed in directly.

Entering the room, as like as two peas, the two old ladies looked exactly alike, like a carved model.

"Help quickly" Li Wenlong didn't dare to hesitate this time, when he pulled down the column.

"Manager, the old lady is holding a ceremony. We can't move." an Baowei held Li Wenlong's hand.

"Bao Wei, you are a staff member. Do you believe this? "Hurry up" Li Wenlong was a little anxious because he saw that several people around him were watching helplessly and no one came to help.

"Manager, it's not that I don't want to hurry up, but... But..." an Baowei is a little worried. He doesn't know how to explain to Li Wenlong the meaning of the so-called * * here. Every winter, many old people who think their life limit is up take this way to end their lives. According to the customs here, you can't stop such old people, To put it more seriously, that is to affect the other party's "Ascension"!

"Hurry up" Li Wenlong looked at them and couldn't count on them. Then he turned around and picked up the chair with people. Although it wasn't very heavy, it was too big. He went to the door step by step. From beginning to end, the old lady closed her eyes and didn't speak. However, Li Wenlong clearly saw tears flowing out of her eyes.

Although it's not pleasant to hear, it really reflects people's heart, that is, it's better to live than to die. No one is afraid of death when it's said, but everyone will shrink back once it's time to really end their life. Li Wenlong believes that these so-called old people who have seen through their destiny are no exception, although they live a hard life on weekdays, But at least you can see the sun rise every day, but if you end your life in this way

Li Wenlong felt that it was not their willingness, but that the custom passed down here over the years was too harmful. Many old people clearly wanted to continue to live, but it was likely that they could only reluctantly accept ending their lives in this way because of face.

After carrying the old man out, the old man still didn't open his eyes. The people around him were silent. To their surprise, they didn't see the scene of the old man entering the house again, which further verified Li Wenlong's idea.

Rice and white flour had just been sent, and the old man also wanted to have a good year. However, the annual ascension day began. The old man had to stay in the house for his reputation and wait for the arrival of the ascension. From the moment Li Wenlong picked her up, the old man's heart had softened, and she didn't have the courage to run back to the house that was about to collapse.

"Pillars, look at the things that can't be cleaned up. Simply clean up and hurry up." seeing that the old man is still calm and the house can't collapse for a while, Li Wenlong said eagerly by wiping the snow on his forehead.

All the people reacted and rushed in as quickly as possible to get some daily necessities. When the last one of the columns came out with the only quilt, the house collapsed with a roar.

"Find a family nearby, give him some money and settle the old man first. You tell them that when the wind and snow stop, the village will find a way and will never ignore it." Li Wenlong breathed a sigh and had a good start, the later things should be much smoother.

"The family over there has relatives with me, so I'll get them first." an Baowei pointed to a family not far away. Li Wenlong said it very easily, but an Baowei knew that it was not as simple as talking casually. No one in the family was willing to take a person who had nothing to do with himself home during the new year, even if it was an order from your township yamen, People won't listen if they don't listen, because they say it's bad to take others home during the new year. Who do you say is willing to take people from their own home? Especially an irrelevant old man about to go to the ground?

But Li Wenlong has said this, and seeing the poor look of the old man, he really feels bad. He has no choice but to go out and intercede by himself.

Fortunately, an Baowei took good care of the relatives on weekdays. In addition, an Baowei promised to find a way to buy them a bag of noodles, so he promised to let the old man enter the door, but he just settled in a nearby grass house and didn't connect the old man to the main house, but it was very good. Li Wenlong didn't say anything.

With this precedent, the back is much better. Many such old people are recited one by one. Everyone's expressions are similar. Although they don't open their eyes, the tears in the corners of their eyes have clearly expressed their feelings.

"Manager, we must find a place to settle them down. No one is willing to pick up outsiders for the New Year!" More and more houses collapsed, and more and more old people gathered in the streets. Many people closed the door directly at the sight of such a situation. Even if Li Wenlong broke his voice, people didn't open the door.

In their opinion, these old people have been cursed and are about to ascend to heaven. Maybe they will go there sometime. What if something really happens in their own home?

Therefore, everyone chose to avoid, and Li Wenlong understood very well that he did not give tasks to the boys around him.

"Bao Wei, take two people to a road and come out. The township yamen will try to add classes and block it with boards..." Li Wenlong suddenly thought that although the township yamen has not been completed, there is a top on it at least, but there is no enclosure around it.

"Manager, I'll take someone!" The pillar volunteered, "we are quite familiar with it."

"Well, remember, first of all, pay attention to safety, second, don't damage, and try to keep those things intact." although the situation is special now, you can't mess around. If you destroy all those materials, you will lose a lot in the coming year

"Don't worry, manager, we will pay attention to it." the column took people away against the wind and snow.

Seeing all the old people curled up in a corner wrapped in quilts, Li Wenlong was very unhappy. Many of these old people were only 50 or 60 years old, but the vicissitudes of life made them look like 70 or 80 years old. The burden of life prematurely crushed their body and heart.

"Bao Wei, we can't do it at all. Let's see if we can mobilize again. We take care of each other in groups of three. Take these old people over there and tell them to start the fire quickly, but we must pay attention to safety. Once such a strong wind can't control the fire, the consequences will be unimaginable." Regardless of major or minor matters, Li Wenlong was not at ease and repeated thousands of instructions.

"I'll leave it to you. Don't you know how to cook the stove?" An Baowei casually dragged a young man to him. "You go over first and set up a stove. It doesn't matter if it's bigger, but you must ensure that the fire won't run out."

"I'll go now" those young people casually took a stick from the hands of the people next to them. In snowy weather, one is not used as a crutch, but for exploring the road. The traffic here doesn't seem to have obvious signs outside. Even native people can't guarantee that each foot can step on the road smoothly. If they accidentally fall into a pit, it will be in trouble, Such a heavy snow, even if you can't fall dead after going down, you have to freeze to death, because no one will find you. If you can't find it, just wait for the heavy snow to bury you!
