Will the snow fall again?

Dreams are the hope for this small town to survive, and everyone here dreams, but no one’s dream is their own.

A long time ago, there was a snowfall that never stopped, as if time had stopped on the same day, repeating itself over and over again.

Heavy snow blocked the roads, and the sea was completely frozen. Residents, believing it would only be a few days, ignored the situation and simply huddled in their homes, surviving on what little food remained.

The red firelight reflected on everyone's face. They drank wine and talked happily, thinking about waiting for the winter to pass so that they could catch a lot of fish in the sea to fatten up for the winter.

But when they found the next day that heavy snow had blocked the road and the sea was frozen, they began to panic.

After trying to seek help from the outside world to no avail, they looked at the little food left and prayed that the heavy snow would stop soon.

As the days passed, the snow at the door became thicker and thicker, and the fishing boats anchored on the beach were slowly completely covered. This heavy snow finally ushered in its first cry.

"Don't take it away. It's the last food we have. My child needs it. Give it back to me!"

Crying is contagious, just like the snow is getting heavier day by day.

On the first day, a couple and a baby froze to death outside their door. That night, every household locked their doors, even though they never locked them.

The next morning, the locked door was chopped open and a man holding a bag of millet in his arms was dragged out. With a flick of his hand and a slash of his knife, the heavy snow took on another color.

The cries seemed to get louder and louder, weak, desperate, and collapsing.

On the third day, some people were forced to walk onto the surface of the sea. They tried to use an axe to carve a hole in the frozen sea surface, but unfortunately they were starving and died on the ice in this cold winter.

"Mother."

"Woo, woo, I want my mom."

On the fourth day, more and more people appeared on the ice.

Three days later, a hole was finally dug, but after fishing all day, no fish were caught. So, some people were forced to go into the water in this cold winter.

The sea water is really cold, even colder than above.

It was no use; all their efforts were in vain. The man who had gone into the sea was motionless within a few minutes, and when the rope was pulled up, he was already stiff.

On the tenth day, no one went to the sea anymore. However, the snow continued to fall, and the red flowers blooming on the ground were covered again and again.

The usual sounds of playfulness became faint breaths, and the roar of the boat turned into desperate cries.

On the thirteenth day, the sounds here disappeared, leaving only the snow falling.

The following spring, the heavy snow finally stopped, and the hole that had been dug slowly spread to the surrounding areas. The snow melted bit by bit, taking the residents who had once madly surrounded the sea and hiding in the sea.

Many years later, new residents moved in here. They had no idea what had happened here, but they only knew that the fish here were big and fat.

Later, on a quiet night, a couple gave birth to a lovely baby. This was the first child born among the new residents. They named the baby Xiaoyu, which means there will be fish every year.

The people here were very happy about the arrival of this new life, so on the day of the child’s 100th birthday party, they started a competition at sea where the more fish one caught, the greater the blessing.

This time, it didn't snow, but it rained heavily.

The waves hit every fishing boat, and the residents standing on the deck were swept into the sea. The couple also fell overboard in the panic.

The baby in the cradle was held firmly by a pair of sharp claws. He stared at the wooden sign on the child's chest in a daze.

"Little fish, little fish, swim quickly, freedom is all around you."

“Bang, bang, bang—”

Someone knocked on the door, and Zhang Heqian, who was woken up, squinted his eyes and went to open the door.

But after taking a few steps, I stepped on something wet and moving.

After seeing clearly what it was: "Ah————! Fuck————!"

"Are you fucking sick? Why are you screaming?" Lin Nuan, who lived on the second floor, threw down the pillow, but when she saw clearly what was around her, she screamed as loudly as Zhang Heqian.

“Ahhh! Oh my god!”

"What's wrong?" Liu Hanshui, who was in a daze, propped up his arms and looked up at him, only to see turtles crawling all over the floor of the room.

It's a living turtle with soup dripping from its body.

“Fuck!”

The few people who were completely awake stared at the evil turtle crawling on the ground, and ignored the knocking on the door outside the house.

The little girl outside the door: "Hello."

"Hello."

"Hello!"

Ma Liangchen's wandering mind was called back by these repeated "hellos": "She's sick, she's calling you hello. Can't she tell me what's wrong?"

Liao Wenqiang stretched out his hand and waved it in front of him: "You can see it now."

"Yeah, that handsome guy never lied to me."

Zhang Heqian: "Is this true?"

Lin Nuan: "Hey, hey, hey, let's get down to business. What should we do with this sea turtle?"

Before you know it, the topic has been discussed.

Looking at the seven turtles on the ground, Shi Yuncheng sighed: "These are harder to kill than scavengers."

It was scary at first, then disgusting to see a soupy turtle crawling around in the open space of the room. A few people who really didn't want to touch it just watched.

The knocks on the door continued outside, and several people's CPUs were working frantically until the little girl at the door said, "Hello."

"Can you give me my turtle back?"

It was nine o'clock in the morning, and the sky was clear outside. After a few people looked at each other as if they had thought of something, Qi Jing opened the door and looked at the little girl in front of him who was only wearing a small yellow sea fish pendant.

He said, "I have a turtle that is soupy, a turtle that is soupy, and a turtle that is soupy. Which one do you want?"

The little girl didn't expect them to open the door and pay attention to her, so she said, "Can I not?"

Qi Jing moved aside and motioned for her to come in and get them herself: "Great, you want all three."

The little girl blinked and looked at him, as if to say, I am not a human, and neither are you?

There is only a small yellow sea fish. If there is no turtle for the little girl, it would not be a loss to give it to her. If there is, let her choose it herself. It will not do any harm to them if she chooses the wrong one.

After taking three, there were still four left in the room, and they waited in the room, praying for someone to knock on the door and ask for the turtle.

Seeing that noon was approaching and no one had come, they were forced to sit outside. Whenever someone passed by, one of them would ask, "Is this your turtle?"

"Sea turtle, sea turtle, we're selling it for a bargain. Not 998, not 198. Now just ask, and we'll send you a sea turtle gift package."

"One is a broth turtle, and the other is also a broth turtle. Buy one, get three free."

Although the soup turtles were disgusting, the people who had been sitting there for the whole morning started to tease them. Each of them took a chopstick and took turns teasing them, enjoying it very much.

Everything in the small town looks so beautiful, and the bright sunshine shines on everyone. If there were no past events at this moment, it would be a very happy thing.

The ultimate goal of escaping from suffering is happiness, but the goal of happiness is to last forever and remain the same.

The brief moment of happiness is to give this matter a happy ending.

"Hello, I'll get the cutlery."

A beautiful woman was holding a little girl in her arms. The little girl had beautiful eyes, big and round like grape seeds.

She looked at Zhang Heqian and the others timidly and said softly, "Hello, big brother, can you give me a turtle?"

The woman was holding the soldiers she had packed from the house in one hand and holding her unsteadily with the other.

After taking the chopsticks from their hands, the little girl's mother also looked at the turtles on the ground, and after getting their consent, took one away.

From then on, people gradually took away the remaining three. Looking at the calm sea, a few people had nothing to do and decided to walk around and take a look.

The azure sea, the golden sand, the children's laughter, the adults' conversations, it seems like we have returned to the time before the snow.

Ji Xiaoyu walked out of the room with a tired look on his face, a red conch tied around his waist.

He looked at the sea and the people on the beach in a trance. After thinking for a long time, he finally made up his mind and walked over.

"Stranger, there will be a welcome party here tonight. Come after you finish fishing."

The sudden invitation stunned the few people who were playing with sand and water on the beach. Liao Wenqiang sat cross-legged on the ground, and the shovel in his hand was snatched away by Wang Shitou.

He turned his head and saw Ji Xiaoyu's tired expression. As if he had expected something, he didn't ask too much, but just asked him: "Where?"

Ji Xiaoyu: "It's right where the matches are."

It seems that some people really can't wait.

After having some simple food, they went into the sea on their own initiative without being asked.

The fish seemed to be very difficult to catch this time. They were down there for more than 20 minutes, and when they saw that the oxygen was almost gone, they still didn't catch a single fish.

After coming ashore, they took new equipment and prepared to leave the fishing area and go deeper to search.

Several people swam one after another. Fifty meters below the fishing area, they saw a large number of colorful fish. They swam in groups and quickly swam into the deep water after seeing several people.

Liu Hanshui, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, caught two with a scoop net, but these two were far from enough, and they had to continue searching.

In the sea, Shu Yan signaled Liu Hanshui to take Lin Nuan first after catching the fish, while he and the others continued searching.

The thin Lin Nuan disagreed. She felt that they should face this game that was about to end together.

However, facing Liu Hanshui, who was taller than her, she had no strength to resist and was dragged out of the deep sea area.

After the overhead spotlight was turned on, the originally dark vision became much clearer, and the six of them followed the direction in which the colorful fish escaped.

Soon they found two colorful fish as big as palms under a large reef. This time it was Qi Jing and Wang Shitou who went up.

Further downstream, there are more reefs and large areas of coral blocking their way.

Seeing that the oxygen they were carrying was only half left, they decided not to swim downwards and to search among the corals here.

"Save me, save me."

A faint voice came from the deeper seabed. The four people looked at each other and ignored it.

But the more they ignored them, the more they cried out. "Save me, I don't want to die."

"Mom, I want mommy."

"It's so cold. Didn't you say that the snow would listen tomorrow?"

"My food, don't take my food!"

In an instant, the temperature of the sea dropped a lot, but fortunately they caught the colorful fish they needed.

Feeling it was getting colder, Shi Yuncheng urged them to move faster. He was worried that if they didn't move soon, the water would freeze their limbs so stiff that they would be unable to move.

The sounds in the sea became more and more frequent, and Ma Liangchen, who was walking at the back, suddenly heard someone calling him.

"Ma Liangchen, don't go, save me."

The voice sounded so familiar. He turned around and saw nothing but coral.

Liao Wenqiang, who was walking in front of him, noticed that he slowed down and looked back, then slapped his head with his flippers.

He squeezed out a voice from his throat: "What are you doing? Go away quickly."

After being beaten, he pointed his finger down and then to his ears, saying that he heard someone calling him.

Liao Wenqiang swam to his side and pushed him to walk faster.

When they reached the shore and took off their equipment, Liao Wenqiang asked him if he was stupid. They were all up there, so who could call him from below?

However, Ma Liangchen looked at the calm lake and carefully distinguished the voice, which seemed to be from a person.
