After this sudden shock, they have a desire to end to go home.At this time, a few local mountain people said that a person’s younger son fell into the water, although rescued but no consciousness, hope that these city people who go north and south some common sense to save the child.The old man of the three was most experienced went to the mountain people to help.The two people left began to become nervous, afraid of each other killed their own gold, each other also caused some conflicts.Fortunately, when the old man came back on time, they packed up again for the road.Where do you know, the mountain people came to ask the old man to go back to the dinner to stay with him for half a month, said that this is the rule of their family, just to thank him well.So the three of them made an appointment, gold let the remaining two people take away, and met in the town half a month later.
The restless Americans then moved the idea of sharing the old man, the two people argued, the accomplices were injured by the Americans, the Americans simply dragged the accomplices to a remote shot to solve.Americans are careful, went to see the partner died when ready to go, but did not see the body, after fear and comfort themselves, may be dragged away by the Bobcat, think of this unexpectedly laughed like Q.When he thought the gold belonged to his personal wealth, he met a group of mountain thieves who only robbed camels and did not know the gold, who saw that he was only one person, they were ready to kill him.The Americans then said, there are two friends behind, the mountain thief said that he did not see the people behind, ah, and then killed the isolated Americans.Americans may not understand that killing friends in dangerous places is actually tantamount to killing themselves.
The accomplices who were killed by the Americans, but did not die, was rescued by the mountain people. The gold mining old man was going to the dinner together with the mountain people to save the unfortunate man.With the help of the villagers, they went to the town to find the gold, only to find the Americans dead on the way.So they go to the camel market to search.The mountain thief is now auction their imprinted camels, because the mountain thief did not know the camel marks, so was caught by the police.Asked where the sand on the camel went, the mountain thief said it was too heavy, they opened the bag to see the sand and thrown away, said it was thrown near a garbage dump.This way, they immediately went to the dump.At this time the sky is not beautiful, blowing the wind of flying sand and stone, flying sand covered all the original ground, except for occasionally seeing two empty bags of gold, nothing on the ground.Think of so half a year of hard gold mining days after cheating is a basket of water an empty, two gold miners first wry smile and then laughed, is really artificial people.
Although there is no result in a friend cooperation, but after the test of life and death of the golden friendship, this is an inexhaustible and valuable wealth!What the old man suddenly remembered and reminded his companion that the dead homesick wife was still waiting for her husband to come home, would you go to her?There is a life that lives a safe and warm home that is more precious !
The film interprets ordinary people, that is, the people will become greedy and ugly!That is enough to warn the world.To make a living outside, the first thing to learn is to protect yourself, second, is to treat others sincerely
