translation
An old man who sold charcoal cut wood and burned charcoal in the South Mountains all year round.
His face was dusty and smoky, his hair was gray at the temples, and his ten fingers were blackened with charcoal.
What do you do with the money from the sale of coal? Buy the clothes you wear and the food you eat.
He was only wearing thin clothes, but his heart was worried that the charcoal could not be sold, and he hoped that the day would be colder.
At night, a foot of snow fell outside the city, and in the morning, the old man drove a charcoal cart to roll over the frozen wheel prints to the market.
The cattle were tired and the men were hungry, but the sun had risen high, and they rested in the mud outside the south gate of the market.
Who is that smug man riding two horses? Eunuchs and eunuchs in the palace.
The eunuch held the document in his hand, but said it was the emperor's order, Shouting the cow and pulling it toward the palace.
A carload of charcoal, more than 1,000 kilograms, the eunuch guards are hard to drive away, the old man is desperate, but there is nothing to do.
