Mo Yue smiled and said, "It seems that this guarding the toll gate is indeed a chore. Living outside the village, it is hot in summer and cold in winter."

The village chief nodded, "Yes, guarding the toll booths is a very hard job, so no one in the village likes to do it. The village leaders combined, this kind of work can only be done by a foreigner like Wang Daha. Because The people in this village must be no one to do it. Who can handle the cold in winter? In that winter, it was surprisingly cold. It was really freezing cold. I wish I could freeze the grass on the ground. People walking on the road, step on their feet, just click, the soil is frozen, freezing hard. In such cold weather, how can Wang Daha, who lives in the thatched hut, stand it? No snow. It seems to be okay when it snows, but it’s okay when it snows, because it’s not cold, and it’s cold to melt. Especially at night when the cold wind blows, it blows to the face and it hurts more than a knife. Several leaders in the village were worried about Wang Dahaleng, and they specially built a stove for him in the hut. If there was such a stove in the house before it snowed, it would still be a little hot, but once it snowed, after the snow melted, the inside of the house The temperature dropped rapidly, and the stove didn’t do much. The worst part was that Wang Daha had a bad cold because he lived alone in a thatched hut at the entrance of the village and no one was taking care of him. What’s worse, his condition was getting worse. At the beginning, it was just a stuffy nose and a sneeze. Within two days, I started to experience headaches, dizziness and fatigue, and my body became weak, and I didn’t even have the strength to get up. In fact, it’s cold outside the house. The ground is frozen, as long as there are enough rice noodles and firewood in the house, it can make do for a few days. But what is worse is that there are rice noodles, but the firewood is gone. Because winter needs heating, the stove cannot be destroyed, it must be 24 hours On fire. Once the stove is extinguished, the house is designated to be as cold as the ice cellar. However, to keep the stove on fire, you must constantly add wood to the stove. Originally, the wood used by Wang Daha to make the stove was obtained from the woods near the entrance of the village. . Since his illness, people have become lazy, in fact, it can not be said that he has become lazy, but he has more than enough energy.

It doesn’t matter if you can’t move, but you need to continue to consume firewood, and you need a lot of firewood to keep the stove on for 24 hours. Before, Wang Daha went out to pick up a handful of dead branches, cut them short with an axe, and threw them into the stove. But now, he is ill. And he didn't even have a phone call in his small broken house, and he couldn't inform the village leaders of his illness. As for the villagers, because the weather suddenly turned cold, they were all too lazy to get out of the door. Before, the accountant in the village came to collect the accounts every afternoon, but since the weather turned cold, the accountant started to be lazy. From the original one in the afternoon, to one in three days. And when the weather was cold, almost no vehicles passed on the road. After all, it was just a deserted small village, far away from the main road. Only those transport vehicles that could not enter the city would pass here. When it was cold, the work of the transportation fleet was reduced so much that there were almost no cars in these two days. At that time, Wang Daha really called for no response every day, and the earth was not working. There is not even a person to take care of him. Just when he was desperate, the firewood was almost burnt out. He knew that he should go out and pick up some firewood, because no matter what, the stove was absolutely indestructible. If the stove went out, then he would be completely finished. Because the stove went out, he might be frozen alive. This is definitely not a joke, he knows how low the temperature is in winter. But at this time, it started to snow. Wang Daha curled up in the bed and watched the snowflakes outside the window change from scattered little spots to heavy snow. This whole process, how long it took, he had no idea at all, he just shrank under the covers, quietly looking out the window, eyes full of deep despair. He also knew that the firewood in the stove would not last long. Once the wood is burned, the temperature in the house will drop little by little. Once the temperature in the house cools down, it will soon be a temperature inside and outside the house. At that time, this thatched house will become as cold as an ice cellar. Once he became like the ice cellar, Wang Daha would not be far from freezing to death. That day, the snow kept falling. It didn't stop until the evening. The snow just stopped, and the cold wind screamed. Wang Daha hid under the blanket. Even if he covered his cotton clothes, he still felt the cold wind. Come through. The room was ventilated on all sides, and it took only half an hour, and the temperature inside the room was almost the same as outside. Wang Daha dared not get up, so he wrapped the quilt tightly and shrank in the bed. However, Wang Daha people can shrink in bed, but the wood in the stove will burn out. Finally, when the sun completely set, the fire went out. When the fire gradually weakened before, Wang Daha's heart began to tremble, because the cold air outside the house had penetrated into his quilt, and through his quilt into his body, he was shivering with cold. However, to make matters worse, in this case, he actually fell asleep. "Moyue couldn't help but interrupted when he heard this, "Hey, village chief, what is your story?" So far, I have almost guessed the ending of the story. "

The village chief smiled, "I like a smart person like you. When someone else said half of it, you immediately said the ending."

Mo Yue laughed, "Isn't that the case? At that time, the sky was freezing, the thatched hut was ventilated everywhere, and the only heating stove in the house was turned off. In this case, Wang Daha still had a cold. You said, Can he not freeze to death?"

The village chief smiled, "Your imagination is really rich. If it's cold in the house, will he definitely freeze to death?"

Mo Yue laughed, "Isn't that the case? The temperature in the room is extremely low, the same as the outdoor temperature, and the stove is also turned off. He fell asleep at this time, wasn't he waiting for death? So I said, the ending of the story is Wang Daha Frozen to death in the hut, right?"

The village chief shook his head, "No, no. You made a mistake again. Let me tell you that Wang Daha was not frozen to death."

Mo Yue smiled bitterly, "Then your story is too ridiculous. In this case, when he fell asleep, didn't he actually freeze to death? You are not telling the story."

The village chief smiled, “Of course I’m not talking about fantasy. I’m just talking about the fact that Wang Daha was not frozen to death. He has been alive until now, he is still alive.”
