(Clearwisdom.net) There is a village about 15 kilometers (9 miles) away from my home, in the neighboring county, where I heard that the residents had never heard the truth about the persecution of Falun Dafa and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) because that village was so remote, and few outsiders went there. I had been there only once many years ago, after I graduated from school. My wife and I decided to go there and deliver the truth. After carefully considering the road conditions, we chose to go to the village on unpaved mountain roads (shorter but difficult to walk) and come back using highways (safer but longer).

We set out at around 2:00 p.m. from home. The first 5 kilometers (3 miles) was easy, but then the road conditions became difficult. Moreover, it was getting darker and it had starting snowing. We found our way with intuition and experience, but we fell down here and there due to the snow.

Only one thing was on our minds, that the sentient beings in that village deserved a chance of salvation, and we had to give them the opportunity no matter how difficult and tiring the trip was. Sometimes falling and crawling, we continued forward. At one point we saw a light at the foot of the mountain in front of us. We walked up and knocked on the door, and a middle-aged cow herder couple living in the small adobe answered the door. They asked us where we were headed and what we would do there. We said we were going to some relatives' to save people. They asked what we meant by saving people, so we told them that withdrawing the Chinese Communist Party's organizations could save people. They were kind enough to give us directions and said, "We don't want to delay your work of saving people."

The road conditions were getting even harsher, and the snow covered our footprints in no time. We encouraged each other by reciting the Fa and strengthening our righteous thoughts. Then we saw the lights from a car ahead of us, so we headed in that direction. We did not find the car, but we found the right road. Following the tracks of the car, we arrived in the village, realizing it was thanks to Master's help and guidance.

It was already past 9 o'clock in the evening, but we were very happy. We distributed all the copies of the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party and started on our way back home after 10 o'clock. On the highway, we saw some trucks carrying rocks and sand, going the opposite way. I said to my wife, "If any trucks are returning our way and they give us a ride, we could arrive home before 12 o'clock to send forth righteous thoughts." My wife answered, "It's up to Master." After we had walked a long distance, some trucks did come back our way, but none of them stopped to pick us up. At this moment, my wife said to me, "The drivers won't stop for us if we don't wave to let them know we need a ride." I said, "Let it be. Even if we wave, those unwilling to stop won't stop. After all, it's very late and the drivers may be afraid of stopping to pick up strangers."

Right at that moment, a truck was passing by, and it slowed down, but didn't stop. We looked at it and to our surprise, it backed up to us. The driver opened the door and asked us, "Would you like a ride?" We got into the truck and thanked him. Of course, we took the opportunity to save another person and we told him about the truth of Falun Gong and quitting the CCP's organizations, too.

It was ten minutes to midnight when we arrived home, just in time to send forth righteous thoughts.
