Heavy snow is falling, and the world is swallowed up by white.
Everything as far as the eye can see is shrouded in white.
The sky is white, the water is white, and even the mountains are white.
Everything is hopelessly white.
The village is the only living thing in the white world, but it is only very subtle.
The villages are almost all poor people struggling on the land.
These poor people hate the rich households in the town, and the rich households in the town are also wary of these poor people who are like hungry wolves.
Because of the tenancy relationship, these hidden hatreds were buried under the white snow, and the pain of hunger among women and children was also buried under the white snow.
Therefore, deep in the village, there was always filled with children's pain about hunger.
The sounds of "Ode" and "I'm hungry, I'm hungry" have become as low as the buzzing of mosquitoes as time goes by, but this sound has not disappeared, but is always over the winter village day after day.
Panheng, constantly echoing in people's ears.
This sound is annoying and disgusting.
Therefore, there were scoldings and beatings, and the children's cries were heard at first, but later they became very faint.
The weak cries in the dead silence are the freshness of the winter village.
It had been three months since the trip to Shennongjia.
In a farm covered by white snow, Jinhua was wearing a shabby black cotton-padded jacket.
Next to him was the pale-faced Gao Wenxuan.
The two of them were huddled in the drafty room. , clinging to each other for warmth.
Looking at Gao Wenxuan's expressionless face, Jinhua sighed inaudibly.
She couldn't believe that Gao Wenxuan suddenly turned into a fool.
It all started after that cliff jump.
They were washed here by the water along the river.
When the two woke up, they were on the river bank near the village.
Jin Hua was the one who woke up first.
Gao Wenxuan was lying not far from her.
Although there were many bruises on his body, there were no fatal wounds except the one on his head that was smashed by a stone.
Jinhua thought everything would be fine, but she still didn't expect that since Gao Wenxuan opened his eyes, he didn't recognize anyone, not even her.
He didn't know anything when asked.
Apart from being a little stupid, he didn't love He doesn't talk much and doesn't like to move.
He often stares at the sun in a daze by himself, then spends the whole day eating and sleeping.
Jinhua saw it and was anxious in her heart.
Because the two of them were penniless, she made a bold decision and temporarily settled in the village.
When they came to the village, there was still a hint of autumn.
Jinhua inquired about it, and took Gao Wenxuan on the ox cart to the town to sell the only jade jewelry he had.
The local merchants kept the price down.
It's very low.
Things with a market price of several hundred yuan have been reduced to a few silver dollars.
It is true that a penny can stump a heroic man.
Jinhua wanted to discuss the price with the pawnshop owner, but unexpectedly, the owner heard that her accent was from another place, so he took advantage of her and coaxed her into the backyard, and then started to do something to her.
Because his temper could not bear such grievance, Jinhua gave the man a slap and left with Gao Wenxuan.
But she had to take the money, so she found another shop, and the cunning businessman took the opportunity to lower the price of the items to two silver dollars.
Jinhua bargained with him, and finally pawned the death deed for nine dollars.
Considering that the little money was really not enough for travel expenses, after thinking about it, Jinhua took Gao Wenxuan to stay temporarily in the village.
I rented a house for nine yuan and bought some daily necessities, but there wasn't much left.
The people in the village only regarded her as a young daughter-in-law who lived with her husband, but as time passed, people still discovered that something was wrong with Gao Wenxuan.

After being bored for a long time, the villagers began to get excited after learning that Gao Wenxuan had a problem with his head.
The gossiping woman wanted to get gossip from her for after-dinner chat, while the lewd man wanted to take advantage of her.
In addition, the rest are unfamiliar, solid and taciturn workers facing the paddy fields.
Such days cannot be compared with life in the city, nor are they ordinary to life in Xiangxi.
When he was in western Hunan, Jinhua could be said to be protected by Granny Gu, Gao Kuan and others.
But in this village, Jinhua truly felt the contempt of the poor for the poorer people, the hatred of the rich who did nothing but gained a lot of wealth from the fields, the labor of women, and the extortion of money.
They were ignorant. , but there is still a bit of cuteness in this ignorance.
They retain the honest and simple side of their character and their unspeakable deep love for the land.
"Papa pa pa" There was a knock on the door outside the house.
Jinhua gathered her black cotton-padded jacket, glanced at Gao Wenxuan who was motionless, and jumped out of bed.
When she walked out of the main room, she suddenly noticed that although the window paper in the room had been re-pasted, it still could not withstand the strong wind.
Snow was torn open again.
She opened the door while mentally debating whether to tape up the window.
Jinhua was a little surprised when he saw the person coming.
The person who knocked on the door was the widower who lived next door.
The two families rarely spoke to each other.
They almost passed by each other and never exchanged greetings.
"this" Jinhua smiled slightly and invited people into the room according to etiquette.
After making tea, he offered it: "What can I do for you, Mr.
Zhu?"
The widower immediately blushed, and his dark and red skin showed a little embarrassment.
After the bowl of tea became cold, he put down the bowl in his hand and said in a nonchalant voice: "Actually, you can call me Zhu Laosan.
Can I borrow some food from you?"
Before Jinhua could speak, she heard footsteps behind her.
She turned her head and shouted: "Wenxuan, don't move yet."
Then she turned her face away and refused to borrow food from Zhu Laosan: "We don't have much food in stock, and it may be difficult to survive this winter."
Zhu Laosan's face was almost buried on the ground.
He himself felt that borrowing food was a very shameful thing, but after struggling for a moment, he still raised his face and asked, "Can't you really borrow some food?"
Jinhua shook her head.
It would be very difficult for her to survive this winter with the little food she had at home.
If they borrowed it, she and Gao Wenxuan might not survive.
"But my three children haven't eaten for many days, and they haven't even drank gruel."
Zhu Laosan's eyes burst out with despair.
He looked at Jinhua helplessly, hoping that this beautiful woman could have A heart that matches her appearance.
Jinhua frowned.
Now is no different than in the past.
It is a difficult time.
Lending food out at this time would be something only a fool would do.
This does not mean that she has no sympathy for Zhu Laosan's family, but compared with her fate and the pain of hunger, she still chose the latter and shook her head: "We really don't have food, so do you."
You know, we just came here.”
Zhu Laosan's gray face suddenly turned fierce.
Jinhua saw Zhu Laosan's expression and knew clearly in his heart that Zhu Laosan was afraid that he was being driven into panic.
As expected, Zhu Laosan was then heard to curse and say: "What do you need to eat, you idiot?
You are such a shameless bitch, please hand over the food to me."
Jinhua's face darkened: "Mr.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Zhu, please leave if you are fine."
Zhu Laosan opened his greedy eyes with a fierce light and rushed towards Jinhua.
He was probably driven to the point of madness by hunger.
There was a bit of complaint in his words: "Why can a fool have this?"
If you eat enough food, you can have such a beautiful wife, and you still have money to drink tea."
Jinhua guessed Zhu Laosan's thoughts, and when he made a move, she grabbed him and pushed him against the wall.
She had no idea about this kind of person and directly twisted him out of the door.
However, Zhu Laosan was holding on to the door frame and was unwilling to leave.
His eyes were still fierce, and there was a bit of decadence in the fierceness.
He roared like he was complaining about the unfairness of fate: "How come a fool can have food to eat?"
Jinhua heard the footsteps getting closer and closer in the house, and suddenly felt uncomfortable.
She was worried that Gao Wenxuan had understood Zhu Laosan's words.
"for you."
A small bag of rice was stretched out in front of Zhu Laosan and Jinhua at some point.
Jinhua looked along the rice bag and saw Gao Wenxuan's well-jointed fingers, his indifferent eyes, and saw him handing the grain to Zhu Laosan.
At that moment, everything Jin Hua wanted to say was stuck in her throat, and she looked at him in confusion.
At this moment, Zhu Laosan opened his greedy eyes and quickly grabbed the rice bag.
Before leaving, he muttered a little mockingly: "A fool is a fool."
Jinhua watched Zhu Laosan leave, but wanted to chase him.
When he stepped out the door, he was stopped by Gao Wenxuan.
After looking at Gao Wenxuan for a long time, Jinhua was confused, angry, and suddenly a little surprised.
She grabbed Gao Wenxuan's shoulders excitedly, opened her eyes wide, checked him from head to toe, and asked: "Wenxuan, what are you doing?"
Do you know who I am?"
Zhu Laosan's incident has been diluted in her heart by the surprise that Gao Wenxuan is likely to recover.
She looks at Gao Wenxuan longingly.
If possible, she would like to stick her eyes directly on Gao Wenxuan's body.
After waiting for a long time, Gao Wenxuan never said a word.
His indifferent eyes became blurry and distracted.
Jinhua heard a few words coldly uttered in his mouth: "Who are you?"
"I" Jinhua put down her hand holding the door frame and closed the door silently.
At this time, she could not say anything.
She thought of what Gao Wenxuan said to her before jumping off the cliff, and thought: Just as he said before jumping off the cliff, he has really become a big trouble for her, but she has not given up on him.
There was a deeper doubt in Gao Wenxuan's confused eyes.
Jinhua was about to leave, but he pulled her into his arms.
He got close to her face and asked: "Who am I?"
"You are Gao Wenxuan."
Jinhua looked at him, a little sad, but still answered.
After hearing the answer, Gao Wenxuan's eyes flashed, half clear and half confused.
He asked in a curious tone: "Who is Gao Wenxuan?"
"It's you Gao Wenxuan."
Jinhua answered again tirelessly.
"Then Gao Wenxuan is me, who are you?"
His face came closer, that face was still handsome, but it gave people a different feeling than before.
If he was the black night in the past, then now he is like A blank piece of paper.
"I'm Rong Jinhua."

Jinhua looked at him for a moment and replied.
Gao Wenxuan tilted his head this time and looked at Jinhua for a long time.
Then he suddenly smiled and said, "I remember this name.
It turns out you are Rong Jinhua."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jinhua almost burst into tears.
She didn't understand why she suddenly wanted to cry.
In the past three months, she had never felt vulnerable, even with those businessmen.
Those talkative women battled wits and courage, and she was always elegant and decent.
"Then are you my wife?"
Jinhua was stunned by his subsequent words.
During the stunned moment, he raised his hand to wipe away the tears on her face.
He then said, "I only remember that Rong Jinhua is my wife."
Jinhua was suddenly confused.
At this moment, she couldn't tell whether Gao Wenxuan was stupid or had amnesia.
If he was said to have lost his memory, his thinking and movements were very abnormal.
If he was said to be stupid, But he remembered her so deeply, and the expression on his face when he faced Zhu Laosan just now, that expression was clearly not that of a fool.
"Wenxuan, do you remember the Gao family?
Do you remember Susan?
Do you remember Gao Kuan?"
Jinhua reluctantly wanted to give it a try, seeing that Gao Wenxuan's condition should be good and bad, if he still knew what happened in the past. , then he should gradually recover in a short period of time.
Gao Wenxuan looked at Jinhua's face in confusion, said nothing, and shook his head.
Jinhua was a little disappointed.
She glanced at Gao Wenxuan and waved her hand: "It's late, go to bed."
Gao Wenxuan took her hand: "Let's go together."
Jinhua smiled slightly and let go of his hand: "I'm going to see how much food we have left.
What you just gave to Zhu Laosan was too much."
Gao Wenxuan did not speak.
Jinhua saw him hanging his head like a unhappy child.
Since he was not sure whether he was stupid or not, he was not sure whether his sadness reflected his words.
"Wenxuan, it's okay.
We can live on.
I'll go to the town in a few days to find some work."
Gao Wenxuan raised his head suddenly when she was speaking, and caught her wrist unexpectedly.
His confused eyes were full of confusion and apology.
He looked at her for a long time, and a low voice came out of his throat: " Jinhua, me”
Jinhua waited for his next words, but saw him holding his head at this moment, squatting on the ground in pain, his forehead was covered with dense sweat, and he was so weak that it made people feel distressed.
"sorry."
When Jinhua reached out to him, he was like a mad beast and slapped her hand away.
He curled up at the foot of the mottled wall, holding his head, looking like a fool.
Jinhua wanted to pick him up, but was always avoided by him.
Jinhua was helpless and a little confused at the same time.
She didn't know how she stimulated him, and she didn't know how long she could persist in such a life.
Sooner or later I have to go back to Shanghai. sjgsf0916:
