About This Novel
A pair of orphaned brothers over seventy years old depended on each other. Because the village chief's brick and tile factory was closed down, the nursing home where they relied for survival was forced to close down. In order to find a way to survive, the brothers traveled from the countryside to the province and then to the capital, but to no avail, and finally chose to live in seclusion in Mukou Mountain. While living in seclusion, they accidentally discovered Wu Sangui's tomb and treasure map, and dug out gold and silver cultural relics. In order to fund public welfare undertakings such as impoverished primary schools in mountainous areas and the reconstruction of nursing homes, the two sold cultural relics and obtained 800,000 yuan, all of which was used to help others, allowing paralyzed teachers to return to the podium and poor students to return to the classroom. However, the act of stealing and selling cultural relics violated the law. The brothers were arrested and imprisoned, and received a suspended sentence of death. In order to resolve the pressure from all parties, they applied to commit suicide by fasting in a secluded cave. Starting from the Laba Festival, the two fasted in front of everyone, and finally passed away on a snowy night. Their lives were intertwined with suffering and kindness, leaving behind a thought-provoking legend.
