I was not hit by the boat owner's pole, but my head was still buzzing after hearing his words.
I only know that there is a yang play in the world, and I have never heard of a yin play. I never thought that this yin play is actually sung to the dead!
If the ship owner didn't lie, then why couldn't anyone else hear it, but I was the only one who could hear this dirty trick?
Could it be... I'm already dead?
It was like there was a piece of mud in my mind, making me confused and confused!
Just when I was stunned, the boat owner's pole came down again, but it didn't hit my head, but hit me on the shoulder, and then pushed me into the river easily.
I was unprepared for the moment and before I could hold my breath, river water surged into my nose. I choked to death and even choked on my tears. But it was precisely because of the pain that my originally confused and confused mind regained some clarity and knew that I had to live.
After having the desire to survive, I temporarily put aside the fact that I could hear the evil drama, and then turned around and swam towards the river bank-it was the easiest to get on the boat, but since the boat owner deliberately I hit the water, thinking there was no way he would let me on board.
I grew up in a rural area, and there was a river in front of my house, so the water quality was pretty good. In addition, the water in this river was relatively stable, so it was easy for me to swim to the shore. Of course, the premise is that the ship owner does not obstruct it.
Unfortunately, as soon as I turned around and took a step to swim, the boat owner's pole smashed over and blocked my way.
He smiled and said, little baby, where are you going? Wrong direction!
I stretched out my hand to wipe away the mixture of tears and river water on my face, and said, Where else can I go? I want to go ashore!
The boat owner laughed and said, "We're not there yet. How can we get ashore?" Keep going downstream!
After he finished speaking, he smashed the pole down again, with such speed and force that I didn't dare to resist just by looking at the posture, so I could only move slightly to the right.
It didn't matter that I gave in, but the boat owner kept pushing further. One pole went down, and then another, forcing me to retreat continuously, forcing me to swim towards the middle of the river, getting further and further away from the shore!
After I reached the middle of the river, he put away the pole and followed me with a leisurely look, just like an old farmer herding ducks in the river, and I was the duck he wanted to herd at this time!
Seeing the boat owner's leisurely look, I became so angry that I yelled at him, "What do you mean?" Are you the one who yells at your passengers?
The ship owner said, "It's no use yelling at me. I'm familiar with taking people's money and eliminating disasters for them."
I was stunned for a moment when I heard this, and then a very bad thought arose from the bottom of my heart, which made me suddenly tremble all over because I didn't feel the cold water in the river.
Let me tell you, you took other people's money, so you want to kill me?
The ship owner smiled and said, otherwise do you think that 10,000 yuan is just a waste? Could it be possible that he just said a few nice words to Zhang Hazi? That one hundred yuan is thousands of dollars, maybe ten thousand?
Sure enough, just as I thought, the ship owner took money from Zhang Hazi, so he wanted to kill me to silence me!
As for why Zhang Hazi did this, the reason is very simple. He just covets my luck!
I should have thought of it earlier. Since Zhang Hazi is also a craftsman, he must not be able to resist my luck!
When I think about the fact that I haven't even said hello to Zhang Hazi before, so he knows that I'm here, I'm even more certain that he must be aware of my great luck, so he doesn't even need to look at me. Know that I'm here to find him.
Then he took advantage of the woman surnamed Wu, turned around and ran into Lao Sicheng - he said he was running away, but he was probably preparing in advance to deal with me! Before we came, we paid the owner of the boat and asked him to drown me in the river when no one was around!
This can also explain why he asked me to take another round trip when I had already arrived at the pier downstream. Wasn't the purpose just to get rid of the woman so that the ship owner could take action?
The reason why the ship owner was asked to do it was not because he did it himself. The reason was the same as what Mr. Wang said before. Whoever struck first would be the target of public criticism. Obviously, he did this in order to hide his identity and hide from others. Exactly the same as the carpenter in our village!
Just by 'looking' at me in the crowd - not even 'looking', just feeling the luck in me, he was able to plan such a murder with a loaner knife in a short period of time The good show is worthy of the famous Zhang Hazi! Oh, I have learned a lot!
It's just that ten thousand yuan can buy a murderer. I don't know if Zhang Hazi is too stingy or if the ship owner is too cheap.
The ship owner heard this and explained to me, little baby, don't be too little, this old man is making small profits but quick turnover. Don’t forget that you only have ten thousand per person. If there are one hundred people, that’s one million! Calculating this, if I do one a day, it won’t take half a year, and I will be a millionaire. Do you think this business is a good deal?
Your uncle’s, one a day, do you think this is an assembly line in a factory?
Before I complained, the ship owner said again, and again, this ten thousand is just a deposit, and there will be more after the completion of the matter! It's an easy job, and if you don't do it, it won't be in vain, don't you think?
It's your uncle!
If I say no, can you let me go?
The ship owner shook his head and said, no! ----Sink down for me, don't let your head pop out!
As soon as he finished speaking, his pole fell down. I was so frightened that I had to dive and bury my head in the water to avoid it.
There is no other way to go on like this. I will die in the hands of this old man sooner or later. The only possibility was to dive, take advantage of the fact that the old man couldn't see the bottom of the water, swim as far as his pole could reach, and then go ashore.
But I obviously underestimated the old man's eyesight. No matter how hard I dived, the old man could hit me with the pole accurately and hit me on the back. The pain made me grimace and I choked a large mouthful of water. My chest suddenly hurt. , had to come out and cough violently.
Once my head popped up, I became a target for the boat owner. I was driven around by him, forcing me to return to the middle of the river again. I also tried not to open my mouth, but the severe pain in my back made it impossible for me to hold my breath, so I could only get out of the water, and then the vicious cycle continued.
And once I returned to the middle of the river, the boat owner forced me to bury my head in the water, as if he would not stop until I was killed.
I also thought that as long as I swam down fast enough, the boat owner's pole wouldn't be able to hit me. It's a pity that ideals are full and reality is skinny. No matter how fast I swim, the boat owner is like a tarsal maggot, sticking tightly behind me and unable to escape!
Not only that, the boat owner also kept singing that novel tune. Even across the river, the sound could penetrate into my ears without any obstruction, as if the boat owner was singing right in my ear.
Although I thought it was strange, in order to survive, I didn't care so much. Instead, I concentrated on going downstream to get rid of the boat owner.
At first I could keep going at full speed, but the further down I went, the harder it became. It felt like my body was tied with a sandbag, making it very difficult to swim.
Not only that, I also felt that the entire river was no longer as cool and comfortable as before, but was slowly getting colder.
It's normal to feel cold after soaking in the water for a long time, and I can tolerate it. But the strange thing is that the river water became colder and colder, and by the end, it was already bone-chillingly cold!
I can even feel the severe pain in my lungs, and my hands and feet have begun to lose control. Before, I still had to exert force to dive, but now it has become extremely difficult for me to surface even if I want to.
I knew this was a sign before drowning, and I was about to die.
At this time, I heard bursts of noise not far ahead, and the farther downstream, the louder the noise became. When I heard the sound, I couldn't help but feel happy, thinking to myself, I am saved. Got it!
I don't believe that in front of so many people, could the ship owner kill me?
So I was full of hope, used up my last bit of strength, and jumped out of the water. After taking a big breath, I dived into the river again before the boat owner smashed down the pole, and then rowed with all my strength. He moved his already sore arms and legs and jumped forward with all his strength.
As long as I can appear in front of that group of people before the ship owner kills me, the ship owner will not dare to attack me even if he is extremely capable!
With this hope of survival, I went down extremely fast. According to my estimation, it shouldn't take long to join that group of people.
However, when I jumped forward for a long distance, although the playful and noisy sounds became more and more obvious, I didn't see a single figure.
Having had so many weird experiences, I felt something was wrong at the time. I was even thinking, maybe I encountered something dirty?
But just as the thought came up, the river in front of me suddenly turned. After turning the bend, my hanging heart suddenly relaxed. Because I saw three or four figures in the river in front of me, playing and laughing happily in the river.
Finally saved!
This was the first thought that came to my mind.
You can show your head.
This is the second one.
So I got out of the water and wanted to show my face in front of those people so that they knew that I was still alive.
When I got out of the water, I found that they all had their backs to me, and they seemed to be continuing to swim downstream.
I tried to shout, but they were indifferent and still kept their heads raised and swam on the water.
Maybe it was too far away so they didn't hear me.
At this time, the river water was getting colder and colder, and I could clearly feel my body shaking. If this continues, I may really not be able to control my body and will have no choice but to let it sink.
I didn't have much time to waste, I had to fight hard.
In addition, there was a sound of swinging from behind me at this time. I didn't even need to look back, and I knew that it was the boat owner's pole that had smashed down.
So I dived into the water again, exerted my last strength, and swam forward as if I was desperate. If they can't find me this time, I will really sink to the bottom of the river.
I could roughly see their figures in the water, about five or six meters in front of me. I paddled forward desperately, thinking that even if I couldn't catch up with you, as long as I got closer, my A shout should be enough to stop you.
But no matter how I swam, those few people were always five or six meters in front of me. And no matter how I shouted, they seemed not to hear me and just swam forward on their own.
My hands and feet could no longer exert any strength, and I felt that my body was gradually sinking.
But at this moment, I noticed that the figures in front of me suddenly stopped!
Have you discovered me?
I was so happy that I didn't know where the strength came from. I pushed my legs forward and my whole body shot out into the water.
As the distance between me and them gradually narrowed, I finally understood why they stopped - because in front of them, the spacious river was filled with people from left to right!
So many people went into the river? Is it similar to the Water Splashing Festival in Yunnan? Everyone in Laosicheng has to go to the river to bathe? Otherwise, how can we explain that there are so many people in the river?
I didn't understand it, but it doesn't matter. The more people there are, the better.
When I used my last strength to surface, the scene in front of me really shocked me!
The originally clear sky turned into clouds at some point, and even the sky became a bit darker.
But the weather was cloudy and sunny, which was normal and nothing to be surprised about. What's strange to me is that all these people in the river are facing downstream, with only the back of their heads facing me.
Are they worshiping something? This should be some kind of ancient custom among the villagers in Laosicheng, right?
I really don't have the strength now, so I directly put my hand on someone's shoulder, then hung my body on him, pretending to be familiar and asked, "Brother, what are you doing?"
As soon as I finished speaking, I craned my neck and looked forward, and found that the river was densely packed with heads, but I couldn't see a single face. Moreover, the fellow I asked didn’t respond to me, so I had to shake him and ask again.
I saw him turn around, but because his hair was too long, the wet hair covered half of his face in front, so I couldn't see clearly what he looked like.
He first glanced down at my hand on his shoulder, then followed my example and put his hand on my shoulder, then raised his other hand and wiped away the wetness covering his face. Wet hair.
When all his hair was wiped away, I was already so cold that my whole body was shaking, but I still felt a chill running through my brain, so cold that I even stopped breathing! ----This is none other than myself, my lips turned black and my face pale after soaking in the river!
And just as he turned to look at me, I clearly saw the heads floating on the sparkling water, one after another, turning their heads at the same time, revealing faces that were exactly the same as mine. !
