Chapter Eighty-Four: Sacrificing Yourself to Block the Water
Above the river embankment.
The sky is like a coffin lid, and the rain covers all directions.
The villagers of Dahe Village and Xiaohe Village are like ants, running on the riverbank and shouting.
Bags of cement, sand and gravel were thrown into the river, trying to plug the cracked gaps, but they were ruthlessly washed away again and again.
Despair!
Suffocating despair!
Now, who can care about the fight just now, only by working together to block the river embankment, then there is a way to live.
"Quick, bring a few bags of cement, the cement is not enough, and the gap is about to be plugged." ”
The village head, Cui Fu, shouted loudly, and his voice was hoarse.
"Village chief, the cement in the village has run out, and even the cement that the Li family gave us to run a school has been thrown into it, we, we really have nothing. ”
Liu Tiezhu said with a sad face.
"What!"
Cui Fu's body shook suddenly, and there was a deep despair in his eyes.
At this moment, with a bang, the newly built embankment was broken away again, and the cement bags floated on the surface of the water and scattered in all directions.
"Run, this embankment can't be blocked, everyone is resigned to fate. ”
Cui Fu looked up to the sky and shouted, and the villagers rushed back.
In the face of God's power, manpower seems so pale.
At the same time, a figure ran against the current, speeding towards the embankment.
"Zhao Erbao, why are you going. ”
The village chief recognized Zhao Erbao, grabbed his arm and shouted.
"I'm going to close the gap. ”
Zhao Erbao shouted.
"Don't go, you don't want to die, the gap can't be plugged anymore, come with me. ”
The village chief's eyes were red.
"I have a way. ”
Zhao Erbao shook off Cui Fu's arm, plopped, jumped into the river, stretched out his arm and fished out three or four bags of cement, hugged him in his arms, swam quickly to the gap, and then firmly blocked the gap with his body.
The flood hit Zhao Erbao's face numb, and his ears buzzed, but Zhao Erbao seemed to have roots under his feet, nailed there, and resisted the remaining cement with his shoulders.
Let the wind blow and the waves blow, I am unswerving.
This scene shocked everyone, and many people were moved to red eyes.
"Let's go, help Zhao Erbao go. ”
"Zhao Erbao blocked the gap with his life!"
I don't know who shouted, and the villagers who had just escaped ran back in a swarm.
Thump!
Thump!
A few young people followed Zhao Erbao's example, jumped into the river, took the big stone from the villagers behind, and helped Zhao Erbao plug the gap together.
With the efforts of the people, the gap became smaller and smaller, and the flood that spread everywhere became much weaker.
On both sides of the river, the villagers breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
At this moment, a little white snake slowly swam in front of Zhao Erbao, wagged its tail proudly, opened its mouth, and a water arrow sprayed into Zhao Erbao's face.
"You damn little brute!"
"Hurry up and recede the flood, or Lao Tzu will kill you!"
Zhao Erbao was furious, grabbed "Hebo Xishi" in his hand, and threatened viciously.
"Squeak!"
He Bo Xi Shi staggered in Zhao Erbao's hands, and suddenly, a cold air sprayed on Zhao Erbao's face, Zhao Erbao was in pain, his hands were loose, and He Bo Xi Shi took the opportunity to get into the water and could no longer see it.
"Zhao Erbao, what did you just say?"
The wind and rain were heavy, and the few guys behind Zhao Erbao didn't hear what Zhao Erbao said just now, they only heard Zhao Erbao shouting just now, and someone turned around and asked.
"Oh, it's nothing, you all go up, now the gap is blocked, it depends on God can't open his eyes, when will this heavy rain stop, and if it goes on like this, this embankment will have to collapse." ”
Zhao Erbao said casually.
As soon as he finished speaking, the sky suddenly lit up, and in the dark night, a red sunset suddenly bloomed, and the heavy rain just now became dripping, and after a while, it stopped completely.
A full moon hung alone in the sky, silently shining on a small mountain village and the villagers covered in mud.
"The rain has stopped! God has opened his eyes. ”
"Grandpa the mountain god has appeared, and our village has been saved. ”
The villagers wept with joy and hugged each other.
Uh-
Zhao Erbao let out a sigh of relief, climbed onto the shore with his hands and feet, and lay on the muddy river bank panting.
Although he ate the fruit of Vigor, he was still tired and exhausted in the face of the forces of nature.
"Erbao, Erbao, are you okay. ”
Enthusiastic villagers gathered around and asked with a concerned face.
"I'm fine, everyone's okay. ”
Zhao Erbao asked.
"It's okay, we're all fine, thanks to you today, or a few lives must be lost. ”
The villagers said with a smile that although their faces were muddy for the rest of their lives, they were happy from the bottom of their hearts.
"That's good, help me up. ”
Zhao Erbao struggled to get up, but his two arms were soft, and he couldn't use any strength at all.
It's all from the bottom of my heart, if it weren't for Zhao Erbao today, I don't know how many people would die, at least, the two villages of Dahe Village and Xiaohe Village must have been flooded, and the economic losses are simply unimaginable.
Just when the atmosphere was harmonious, a discordant voice sounded:
"Are you stupid, this flood was caused by Zhao Erbao, but you treat him as a life-saving benefactor, it's ridiculous. ”
"He's a monster at all. ”
Brush!
The scene fell silent as everyone looked at the man who spoke.
This man was a thin old man, with sunglasses on his eyes and a green bamboo cane in his hand, and he looked like he was blind.
Although the clothes on his body were a little damp, he didn't bring any dirt, which was in stark contrast to these muddy villagers.
"Who is he?"
"Do you know each other?"
"I don't know, it's not from our village. ”
"I haven't seen it, and it's not from our village. ”
The villagers whispered for a while, but no one knew this old man, it looked like he was passing by, but it was raining so heavily, and there was a flood here, what was this old man doing here.
"Old man, what are you talking nonsense here, Zhao Erbao saved people with his life today, everyone saw it with their own eyes, you still slander him, you TM is an old brute. ”
What Zhao Erbao did today touched many people, and some people immediately scolded him.
"That's it, Erbao is what I grew up watching, what monsters are not monsters, you slander our Erbao here again, be careful that we throw you into the river to feed Wang Ba. ”
There are also people in Xiaohe Village who have opened up.
"Yes, feed the king, and throw this old blind man into the river. ”
Immediately, a group of young people surrounded him.
Seeing that no one believed him, the old man seemed to be in a little anxious, took a step back, and shouted:
"Wait a minute, the old man miscalculated just now, tell the old man to calculate again. ”
As he spoke, the old man pinched his fingers, and muttered nonsense in his mouth.
The rural people are more superstitious, and many people have stopped standing except for a few young people who are still scolding there, and the rest of the people are looking at the old man's face with curiosity, wanting to hear what he can calculate.
After all, this rain is strange, and it is even stranger.
At this moment, the old man suddenly shouted:
"Yes, this Zhao Erbao is not a monster, but he has a demonic aura on his body, he should stay with the monster, and eighty percent is his pet, that's right, this kid has colluded with the monster. ”
"The Great Flood was caused by that monster. ”
