Li Xuejian carried water to the ridge where the slope was located at noon. The stalemate between searching for water and the wolf made him look like he was aged to decades. His dry and sparse beard stretched a lot overnight. He couldn't walk anymore, so he put the bucket on the beam to rest.

The blind dog heard the footsteps and walked staggering towards the beam. When he was three or five steps away from Li Xuejian, he suddenly paralyzed to the ground and could no longer walk. Li Xuejian said to the blind dog, "Climb over, I can't walk any step." The blind dog crawled two steps, but could no longer climb, and his eyes were full of tears. Li Xuejian comforted, "I know you are thirsty and hungry, but it's good to live." The blind dog did not make a sound and looked at the sun. Li Xuejian trembled and asked hurriedly, "Is the corn dead?"

The blind dog lowered his head and tears flowed down. Li Xuejian couldn't sit still and walked towards the shack step by step with a shoulder pole. The camera switched back and forth between subjective and objective. At this time, the subjective camera used shallow depth of field, with a slight virtual focus, which made the picture a little blurred, perfectly presenting the fatigue and tension of the emperor.

Li Xuejian walked to the side of the trellis, and the camera cut a large close-up. His expression was clearly changing. The fear and despair were like ink fainting on rice paper, which made his whole face look a layer of despair black and gray. The audience clearly felt the despair in his heart. Everyone stared wide, wondering what was wrong with the corn.

In the subjective shot, in the fierce sunshine, the corn leaves are not green at all, and even the blue and white leaf tendons have turned dry and burnt yellow.

In the mid-scene shot, Li Xuejian collapsed on the ground, and his whole body was completely collapsed. In the close-scene shot, Li Xuejian seemed to want to speak, but opened his mouth, but could not make any sound. In the subjective shot, the withered corn leaves swayed in the wind, but there was no sound, as if the whole world was dead. In the close-up, Li Xuejian's eyes were extremely empty and he could not see any brilliance at all. In the big panoramic view, Li Xuejian sat in the ground and looked at the corn, lonely. The camera shook into the air, and the scorching sun was like a knife.

Many viewers on the scene had their eyes wet, and they felt that hope was pierced like a bubble. All efforts and all persistence had lost their meaning now. Some viewers murmured: "How could this happen?"

In the mid-scene shot, Li Xuejian slowly raised his head and looked at the corn. The dry corn leaves swayed in the wind. In the close-up, Li Xuejian's eyes suddenly shone. In the subjective shot, there was a touch of green on the back of a corn leaf at the top. In the mid-scene shot, Li Xuejian suddenly got up and turned on the corn leaf. In the close-up, there were green as thin as silk in many places on the back of the leaves, and there were numb spots like stars in the gaps of dry spots. The bent leaf tendon also had a trace of water flowing slowly in the tendons. Looking at the backs of other leaves, you could see more or less green.

The audience exhaled heavily, and the joy rippled in their hearts. The corn leaves were not dry yet, and there was still help!

Li Xuejian walked quickly towards the ridge, walked a few steps, then turned back and took a bowl. When he arrived at the hillside, the blind dog was still slapped on the ground. He scooped out a bowl of water and placed it in front of the blind dog's mouth and said, "The corn is still alive. After drinking it, I bring the bowl back."

The camera switched. Li Xuejian came to the corn with water, lie on the bucket and drooled, pulled the corn leaves, and sprayed the water out. A piece of browned yellow was filled with moist green. He sprayed seven saliva in a row, like a rainstorm of seven days and seven nights, washing the leaf through. After the leaves shone with a shining green, Li Xuejian carried the bucket next to the corn and scooped water with a bowl to wash the corn leaves. When the fourth leaf was washed, the blind dog came back from the beam with a bowl. It placed the bowl under the rack and stood on Li Xuejian's leg. Li Xuejian asked, "Are you still thirsty? If there is a spring, you can drink it."

The blind dog shook his head and used his front paws to touch the corn leaves. Li Xuejian comforted him and said, "The leaves are still alive, please relax." The blind dog lying down on Li Xuejian's legs with a relaxed breath, with the expression on his face soft and relaxed.

When Li Xuejian went to scoop water, he saw a black ball of bad eggplant not far behind the blind dog. When he looked carefully, he found that it was a dead mouse. Looking up, he found that there were still a few lying there in the mat circle. When he looked outside the mat, he saw seven or eight dead, each with red jujube-like skins and holes bitten by his teeth. Li Xuejian barked the blind dog and asked, "Did you bit the mouse?"

The blind dog held Li Xuejian's hand and pulled the hand to the root of the corn. There was a bite of a mouse at the root of the corn. The juice flowed out of the mouth and was shining by the sun, and condensed into a drop of blue and yellow micelle.

Li Xuejian stroked the micelle with his hands, touched the blind dog's head, and said softly: "Blind, thanks to you, I will escape from you when I let me escape from being a beast in the next life. When you let you escape from being a human, you will escape from being a child. I will let you be safe for the rest of your life."

The blind dog cried and couldn't stop crying. Li Xuejian wiped it on its eyes, then brought a bowl of clear water to its mouth, and said softly: "Drink it, drink enough, and you have to guard the corn if I go to fetch water in the future."

The dried corn finally came alive, and the green on each leaf was expanding. However, the food problem was put in front of Li Xuejian and the blind dog again. The cloth bag was completely empty and they had no food.

The camera cut to the slope, and Li Xuejian used iron to dig a hole in the ground. After digging the hole, he stirred the remaining corn powder with water, put it into a bowl, put it into the pit, and led the rats over. That night, he caught thirteen mice, peeled the rats in the moonlight, and cooked them.

The next day, Li Xuejian dug dozens of jar-shaped pits on the hillside, with a small mouth and a large belly, and the pit walls were hanging. As long as the mice were about to jump, they could never jump up again. At night, he mashed and cooked more than a dozen corn kernels found from the fields, cooked until the fragrance spreads in the fields, put the corn soup into the pit, and then fell asleep on the shelf with confidence. In the morning, he went to see that there were several in each pit, or even a dozen mice whine.

Half a month passed, and the corn waist suddenly swelled, and a corn cob appeared like a thumb. Li Xuejian stood in front of the corn and said with a dance: "Blind, do you mean that the ears will grow like sticks in the sky?" The blind dog saw that he was happy, so he licked itchy on his legs with his tongue. Li Xuejian stroked the dog's back and said with a smile: "The corn has been ripe for a month and a half from the ear to autumn, so how can it grow overnight?"

The camera switched, Li Xuejian carried water to the side of the corn. When he was watering the corn, he suddenly found that the corn cob spitted out tassels, and the milky white tassels emerged from the top of the corn cob, like the fetal hair of a child. He stood in front of the ear for a moment, and smiled and said with a smile: "Autumn is coming soon, blind, have you seen it? Qiu is coming soon."

The camera cuts the blind dog, and it ate the rat skin peeled yesterday by the ditch. Li Xuejian said, "Isn't it dirty? Blind." The blind dog said nothing and walked towards the rat pit. Li Xuejian followed him and looked at it, and his face changed suddenly. The camera cuts the rat pit, and there is only one mouse in dozens of rat pits. When the camera comes back, Li Xuejian's close-up shot, he murmured: "The day before yesterday, four yesterday, and only one today. All the mice on this ridge have been caught!"

The camera switched, and Li Xuejian was waving a hoe to dig a pit on the ridge of another mountain. He dug more than a dozen rat pits and put a few corn kernels in each pit to lure mice to eat. The next morning, he went to the pit to catch mice. Half of the rat pits were empty, and there were only one or two rat pits.

The mice became increasingly difficult to catch, and they could never catch them again in the end. Li Xuejian and the blind dog ate less and less, and became thinner and thinner in the end. In the end, they were so thin that they were disembodied. A strong wind could blow them away. A Chinese reporter couldn't help but say, "I can't bear to see Teacher Li's thinness so much!"

When there was the last rat in the rat pit, Li Xuejian decided to take the last load of water while he still had the strength to carry the last load of water. This load of water could be worn by him and the blind dog for more days. He did not expect it to rain, but he expected to be able to survive until autumn ripened and break the corn cob.

Li Xuejian went to carry water in the middle of the night, and it was the afternoon of the next day when he came back. He carried water to the ridge and rested until dark. He had no strength to carry the water to the edge of the bin under the shed, so he decided to cook the last rat to eat, and then come back to carry water. But when he arrived at the rat pit, he found that the rat was gone, and there were footprints of blind dogs in the pit, as well as messy rat hair and blood stains.

The audience knew that the mouse must have been eaten by a blind dog, and they all sighed slightly.

Li Xuejian squatted by the pit until the moon came out, stood up, looked at the smoke moving in the moon, and whispered: "It's good to eat, but after eating I can tell you that in the future, you either treat me as food and live with the corn; or I treat you as food and live with the corn." Li Xuejian returned to the ridge and carried the load of water back with difficulty.

The blind dog was lying under the shed. Hearing Li Xuejian's footsteps, he stood up, as if he wanted to walk towards him, but he silently took a few steps back and lay on the mouth of the corn mat.

Li Xuejian put the bucket beside the tank, took the mat and looked at the full water in the tank, and said slowly: "Blind, come here."

In the moonlight, the blind dog stood up with difficulty, moved forward timidly, and sat down in the direction where Li Xuejian was sitting. The sparse hair on his back shivered slightly, as if he had made a mistake and was waiting for his parents to punish him.

Li Xuejian turned his gaze to the distance and whispered: "Blind, don't be afraid. You'll eat it. I don't blame you." He turned his head and looked at the blind dog and said: "There is a saying that there is no grain in this radius of a hundred miles, and there is no rat. Three days later, you and I are so hungry that you have no strength to speak. If you want to live, eat me as a meal, guard this corn, and wait for the villagers to come back to lead them to break the spikes. You must be grateful to me for supporting you for the past four or five months, and want me to live in the world, so let me eat you as a meal and live until autumn is ripe."

He sighed and said, "Blind, the matter is up to you. If you want to live, leave here tonight, and hide wherever you want. When you come back in three to five days, I will starve to death." After saying this, he burst into tears and wiped his face with his hands.

The blind dog stood motionless. After Li Xuejian finished speaking, he slowly bent his front legs and his hind legs were still straight. His thin long head was raised high and looked at Li Xuejian without saying a word. It knelt down for Li Xuejian.

After kneeling, the blind dog got up, walked slowly to the edge of the stove, opened the lid of the pot with his mouth, took out something from the pot, walked towards Li Xuejian, and placed the thing at Li Xuejian's feet. It was a scabbed mouse, all over, and blood was in the flesh. It was not like Li Xuejian killing the rat, and the blood was about to flow out. Li Xuejian picked up the ball of purple meat and looked at it. The blind dog's teeth marks were as dense as honeycombs on the meat.

Li Xuejian knew that he had wronged the blind dog, so he sighed and said, "I'll eat it after I say I'll eat it, there's no need to leave it for me."

The blind dog lay beside Xianye's legs, resting his head on Xianye's feet, and whimpering.

Countless viewers at the scene burst into tears in an instant, and the softest part in their hearts was hit by the blind dog. It was really sensible. However, everyone knows that after eating the food, the mice have eaten up all the mice and there is nothing to eat. Xianye and the blind dog may only survive by eating each other, and this is something that no one wants to see, and they ate the audience's hearts in despair and viciousness.
