Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Old Village Chief 4
When the people in the village heard this, they all began to become a little surprised, in fact, whether it was a Jiao Jiao, or a real river god to take his life, it was not a good thing, in short, everyone's hearts were hanging. (You can find this site)
After kneeling down, the old man resolutely turned and walked away, his face full of sorrow.
When he left, many people who were originally around the shore hesitated, and they all retreated, and even some people turned their heads and walked away, it's not that they are immoral, in the face of this life and death crisis, how many people can be calm?
Only a few people remained on the shore, and those few people were relatives of these people on the boat, and they couldn't go away, because after all, there was blood there, and they couldn't let go.
The situation was a bit bad, but it was not a desperate situation, at least now the wind was lighter, the rain was lighter, and even the thunder was gone, which meant that if the rowing was faster, the boat would be able to land in time.
The people on the shore understand this truth, and the people on the boat also understand it, and everyone rows to the shore with all their strength, and every second is a chance for their lives.
The old village chief is also trying to row his boat, but compared to the scramble of others, he also pays attention to the situation of others, and when someone falls, he will push it with the oar, he is not very great, just one thought, don't kill people under his nose.
But at this moment, the old village chief felt that something was wrong, because he felt that his legs were cold, and when he looked down, the old village chief found something that made him creepy, his boat was leaking, and the leak was very serious, and the water was rising at a speed that was almost visible to the naked eye.
According to this kind of rise, not to mention rowing to the shore, it is thanks to God that the boat can survive for a minute without capsizing.
The old village chief looked up in despair and shouted to the nearest boat: "My boat is leaking, give me a ride." ”
There was no answer, the boat was still rowing, although the wind was light, but the wind was still blowing, and it was very difficult to row, and the big waves were getting closer and closer
The old village chief looked at the figure not far in front of him in disbelief, that person was a villager of the village, he was very familiar with him, and the relationship was also very good, and he even helped that person.
After all, Lao Cun is a simple person, and he thinks that others should not know who he is shouting, so he shouted loudly again: "Li Yuan, my boat is leaking, give me a ride?" ”
There was still no response, and the man didn't even look back.
The old village chief swallowed a mouthful of saliva, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, at this time the water in his small boat had reached his knees, and the hull of the boat had begun to tilt, and among the 10 or so boats together, he was rowed in front of a few, after all, when he was young, he was a good fisherman.
After sorting out his emotions, the old village chief found that another boat was about to catch up behind him, and he was very close to him, so he shouted again: "Bangzi, my boat is leaking, give me a ride." ”
Bangzi is usually an honest and honest person, so he should help him, right?
As a result, Bangzi only paused slightly in his rowing movements, and the boat rowed quickly towards the shore again, without even looking at him when it staggered with him.
What's going on? The sadness in the old village chief's eyes was even stronger!
He knew that no one wanted to stop at this moment, because no one wanted to die, including himself.
Taking a step back, death doesn't matter, but who wants to die in the face of such an unknown and terrifying existence?
The old village chief tried to understand everyone, and then he looked at a few more boats rowing around him, and he shouted a few more people, the reality was desperate, no one paid attention to him, his boat was about to capsize, in fact, even if he didn't shout, anyone with a discerning eye could see it, but
A trace of anger finally flashed in the old village chief's eyes, but the situation did not allow him to delay any longer, because when the boat capsizes, there will be a lot of suction in the water, that is, a whirlpool will be generated, and even if the unknown monster does not come, he will be dragged into the deep water by the whirlpool, and he will die.
At this time, regardless of anger and confusion, the old village chief was also a decisive person, he abandoned the boat and jumped into the water, struggling to swim away from the sinking boat, but where should he swim? To the shore?
The old village chief glanced back at the wave, which was already less than a mile, and if it was a simple swim, he would not be able to swim to the shore at all.
I have to save myself, the old village chief gritted his teeth and watched a boat row towards him, he gritted his teeth and swam towards the boat, then he suddenly understood a fact, in the face of life and death, people are selfish, and it is useless to shout.
The old village chief's swimming skills were still good, and soon he swam to the edge of the boat, stretched out his hand and held the edge of the boat, since you don't want to stop and delay time, it's better for me to get on the boat myself, right?
This kind of boat was originally a very small boat, narrow and thin, as soon as the old village chief pulled the edge, the boat inevitably tilted, and the man on the boat couldn't help but glare at the old village chief, who wants to be troublesome now?
The old village chief felt a little sorry inexplicably, and muttered an explanation: "My boat capsized, I"
As a result, a scene unexpected by the old village chief appeared, the man actually raised the oar high and smashed it into the old village chief's hand holding the edge of the boat.
The old village chief's eyes suddenly despaired, and his heart hurt so much that he even ignored the pain in his hands! He suddenly felt that the person on the boat was very strange, was it a villager he cared about and selflessly helped?
Or his lovely, gracious folks?
He clung to the edge of the boat, unwilling to let go.
"Old village chief, just forgive me, you know that this boat is carrying two people, don't pull me to death at that speed!" With that, the man's oar slammed down again.
The piercing pain made the old village chief finally let go of his hand, he couldn't stand it!
But he was not completely desperate, he didn't believe it, he didn't believe that his fellow villagers would be like this, he took a deep look at the back of the man who had gone away, and swam to the next boat without giving up
In less than two minutes, maybe only a minute, the old village chief got the answer, and the answer was his bloody, twisted and deformed hands, those people were so ruthless that they even broke their hands!
He glanced at the shore, someone had already received his relatives excitedly, and then he didn't look at the situation here, and pulled his relatives to turn around and run.
It seemed that the shore was very noisy, but he did not hear a person shouting for him, saying a word of justice for him, he was just an old man in the village who had no wife and no children! At this time, who would worry about him?
But there's one last hope, right? The old village chief saw his nephew's boat rowing in this direction, and his nephew was a young man, and he was not good at operating small boats, so he was the slowest one.
The old village chief cleaned up his mood, endured the pain in his hands, and swam hard to his nephew's boat, at this time he had already decided not to be the village chief, if his nephew saved him, he would be good to his nephew alone in the future.
It's a relative, right, you should always believe in the power of blood, right?
The old village chief swam to his nephew's boat, and his hands were too weak to hold the edge of the boat, and he looked at his nephew with longing eyes, hoping that he would pull himself.
But a look of pain flashed in the nephew's eyes, and he whispered: "Uncle, I'm still young."
He didn't smash the old village chief with his oars, but just pushed the old village chief away with his oars, because there was no need to smash his hands at this time, his hands were no better than a pile of rotten meat.
Looking at his nephew's distant back, the old village chief's heart had formed a piece of ice, and he suddenly broke out and yelled at the shore: "You save me, save me, we are villagers!" ”
Not a single person went into the water, not a single one!
At this time, the waves were already churning, and a person on the boat couldn't help but look back and saw the old village chief's gradually sinking body, which was already a look that he would never forget for the rest of his life!
Unforgettable despair, and hatred that will scare the heavens!
Next, a nightmare is about to begin in this village!

It has been 10 days since the incident, and no one in the village has proposed to collect the body of the old village chief, or even the old village chief.
People have an ostrich mentality, when they encounter something that they can't quite accept, and it's about themselves, they will instinctively choose to escape.
But until that day, people found that there was no escape, because someone found a pair of shoes by the river.
