Now I tell you truthfully, no material wealth can be worth the pain of long separation. You are still young, and there is enough time to make a fortune three or four times. -"Blood Sands" A story about human nature under the coat of gold panning films. With the development of the plot, the nature of human nature is gradually exposed. When they were penniless, they would support each other; when they bought lottery tickets by luck to make money and prepared to go for a gold panning together, everything was about brothers' loyalty and sharing weal and woe; when they started panning for gold, the three began to doubt and suspicion; when With more and more gold, they eventually turned their guns at their "teammates." The most greedy and suspicious were killed by robbers, and the sands of the other two were blown away by a strong wind. The bamboo basket was empty. The two who lost the gold laughed wildly together, covering their sadness with loud laughter, and what was left was helplessness, self-deprecation and confession.

This is the backlash and punishment of greed.
