A rapid knock on the door broke the unique tranquility and suddenly broke in. A stranger came and told the mountain people frankly that he was a criminal who was being hunted with a reward, and prayed for sympathy and help. However, the mountain people did not care about what kind of person the exile was and whether he was worthy of sympathy. He thought of arresting him. How much reward can be given to exiles? Therefore, the exile realized what he was like and left immediately. This play has few characters, concentrated scenes, and simple dialogues. There is no beginning, development, and ending of the plot, only the climax of the conflict-the conflict between the exiles and the mountain people. But through the simple stage instructions and short lines, the tense atmosphere on the stage and the characters of the characters in the play - the frankness of the exiles, the desire for rescue, and the final helplessness and disappointment, the indifference and greed of the mountain people,... But it's on paper. What a rare and good work.
