However, they also noticed that the river was often filled with fish with their bellies facing the sky, and it was almost impossible to see live fish swimming in the water. Rao is like this, and one by one they decided to follow the example of the beggars and build ships on the river. Some of them are really able to build ships, and those who don't have the skills can make simple floating logs by connecting planks and the like that can float on the water with ropes.

As long as someone starts, many people will naturally follow suit. They were used as rafts and boats that had been used by the beggars to remove the door panels, beams and walls, and even the coffins left by the old man as floating rafts.

All of a sudden, wooden boats of various shapes and floats floated on the river, and there were more or less people standing on them. Some people do it at home, while others do it with their neighbors and friends, bringing up all the valuable things in their homes. But many of the boats were just simple rafts, and the load-bearing capacity was not strong, and when they carried some valuables, even pots and pans, to the boats, the boats capsized.

These people fell into the water, but no one rescued them, because the river was covered with all kinds of wooden boats. Yang Xianmao and them were even more far away, and they couldn't even see it. And once you fall into the water, there is no one to help, you just want to be alive, and it has nothing to do with the life and death of others.

More and more people are building boats, and a small number of people fall into the water and lose their lives when the quality of the ship is not up to standard. But most of them floated dangerously on the water, and in one moment the whole river was almost full, and the periphery was just a foot from the shore.

So when these terrible devouring forces invaded the Disaster Shelter Village, the Disaster Shelter Village was already empty, and almost all of them were transferred to the wooden boats. Only the father of the three Dow brothers refused to leave.

By the time the scorched earth approached the village, the three Dow brothers knew that someone had taken refuge in the water, so they began to tear down the door panels, the walls and beams to make a raft. It was quickly done, and a small part of the house had been swallowed, but fortunately their home was almost in the middle of the village, so there was still time to calm down.

When the felling was ready, all the valuable goods and the remaining grain were loaded onto the raft. Then Boss Tao was about to carry his father, but he didn't expect to push the door into the house, and found that his father was holding a dagger in his hand, against his throat, and said, "You guys go, leave me alone, I don't want to drag you down." If you force me, I will die before you. ”

Boss Tao was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly persuaded his father to call his two younger brothers at the same time. The three of them looked at their father in horror, not knowing what he was doing for what he was doing.

Tao Laohan put a dagger to his throat and said to several children: "I have lived enough, and I have been tormented by that terrible gout for most of my life. Thanks to Yang Langzhong, who helped me relieve my pain, I was able to enjoy a few days of peaceful life. And now God has sent this gratuitous calamity, that is, the people who have come to collect the world have ascended to heaven. ”

"Of course, there are people who can escape, like your brothers. And there are some people who can't escape and are destined to die, like me. I thought, in fact, I should have gone back to heaven a long time ago, but I have been surviving until now. So if God wants me, I'll just go obediently and don't make any resistance. I also hope that you don't embarrass me, I don't want to die in front of you, unless you force me. ”

The three Tao brothers immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said, "Father, how can we force you to die? ”

Tao Laohan shook his head and said: "Although my gout has been cured, the gout has tortured me to the point of exhaustion, and the whole person walks like a turtle." I have seen this disaster, and it is definitely not easy to deal with. So go, leave me alone, and let me go. When I die, you will have no baggage, and you will be able to live well. ”

Where are the three Tao brothers willing, kowtowing like pounding garlic and begging desperately. But after begging for most of the day, Tao Laohan insisted on refusing, drove them away, and kept holding a knife to his throat. Under the emotion, even a little blood pierced the skin, gurgling out, which was even more shocking. At that moment, they heard the clatter of the house next to them, the sound of a shattered crumble, as if a not-so-sturdy wooden frame had been sawn off.

The three Tao brothers looked at each other, and ran out of the house to check for a while, and they were stunned at this look. For they saw the terrible scorched earth advancing forward to the place where they were at most one house apart. At that rate, not a single cup of tea would spread to their house.

They immediately crept into the house in terror. He said to his father, "No, the scorched earth is already approaching next door." Dad, don't be willful, come with us. ”

As he spoke, he was so fierce that he wanted to hug Tao Laohan, but Tao Laohan roared wildly, and the dagger in his hand reached forward, piercing a little throat, and blood suddenly flowed down. Frightened, the three Tao brothers quickly knelt on the ground, and knelt and crawled back.

Tao Laohan gritted his teeth and said: "If you don't leave, I will count to three, and if I see anyone staying in this house, I will die immediately." If you want to see me die, it will be done for you. ”

Each of the three brothers shook his head like a rattle. They said they didn't dare to do it, hoping that their father would calm down, and at this time they said two or three words at most. Tao Laohan interrupted them with a scream, telling them to get out of here immediately, and the farther away the better. The three Dow brothers didn't dare to argue with their father anymore, and it was too late. They knew that any further on, they could only watch their father die in front of them. If they waited any longer, they would have to die with their father.

In desperation, the three brothers knocked their heads a few times, turned around and rushed out of the house in grief. By this time, the engulfing flames of darkness had scorched their neighboring houses. In a matter of moments at most, they can be surrounded and devoured in the room.

After they rushed out of the house, they turned to look at their house while crying. Under their horrified gaze, their house was completely destroyed by the terrifying devouring force, and turned into a piece of char.

There was no sound in the house, and my father should have turned into a piece of char in an instant, and there was no time to let out any cries of pain. Or maybe they were too afraid of their children rushing in to save them again, so they endured it until they died, without making any sound.

The rivers in the village are next to each other, and the trees are cut down next to the trees. The people on the boat and on the raft were watching in horror at the terrible scene in the village before them. At this moment, suddenly the villagers on both sides of the river began to fall into the river like dumplings, and drowned in the river. The rafts and the people on the boat were terrified, screaming desperately, not knowing what to do. Some jumped into the water and tried to swim away, while others were so frightened that they collapsed in the boat, unable to move.

This situation of falling into the river and dying continues to push forward, stretching from both sides of the river to the middle of the river. It was planted into the river like a cut of wheat, and the river was suddenly in chaos. The place where they had landed was a little further back from the terrible force that had moved forward, probably because of the water, so that the people on the river did not realize that they were still in danger on the river.

When they found out, it was too late, and the people on both sides of the river, who wanted to flee to the middle of the river, were terrified and wanted to climb into other people's boats, but the people on other boats did not let them climb up at first, for fear that there would be too many people. But it soon became clear that those who had climbed or had not climbed had soon collapsed and died, either in the river or in the cabin.

Those on both sides of the flank no longer stopped. Because they knew that even if they could stop it for a while, it would only be a matter of moments, and those they blocked would die in the terrifying darkness. So they scrambled to flee to the middle of the river, fighting for someone else's wooden boat. But. In many cases, these wooden boats are already full of gold, silver, jewelry, and families, and if they are overloaded, the ship or raft will capsize and sink to the bottom in a matter of moments. Therefore, the battle for these ships is not secure, and more people look at the mysterious and terrifying Nanshan behind them.

Many people began to abandon ships and climb to Nanshan, especially those next to Nanshan. When they found that the erosion of the dark was closing in on them, and they could not get closer to the middle of the river to avoid the danger for a while. Their choice was to climb the terrible South Mountain.

Basically none of them have ever entered Nanshan, because the terrifying experiences and legends of Nanshan have been passed down for many years. A lot of people would rather believe it, but no one actually gets into it. And now, with no way out, their only option is to enter Nanshan. So, one after another, people climbed up the South Mountain. They broke away from the thorns and climbed up, and those who went up first did not encounter any danger.

So the people behind immediately saw hope, and continued to climb the South Mountain. In just an instant, hundreds of people were already advancing along the Nanshan Mountain in horror along the river, and there was a crowd of people everywhere. Stimulate and encourage each other, it seems that there is a lot of power in numbers, and ghosts can't help it.

Coming to the front was the Xiao gang leader of the Jiaolong Gang.

The leaders of the Jiaolong Gang were originally begging for a living on the water, and they were the first to discover that the river was relatively safe, except for Yang Xianmao and these fishermen. So I quickly built a simple raft and climbed to the middle of the river, and it was in the middle of the river, which was relatively safe. And here is only a few zhang away from Nanshan, and now when there is nowhere to retreat, when climbing to Nanshan, the Jiaolong Gang leaning on the innermost part will naturally become a building near the water. They were also the first to climb South Mountain.

Gang Leader Xiao held a single knife in his hand and looked around nervously. Suddenly, he heard the screams of the disciples behind him, and quickly looked back, only to see several disciples behind him squatting on the ground, covering their feet. One of them lifted his foot directly from the ground, and at this moment, blood suddenly flowed from the soles of his feet. They must have stepped on a hidden weapon similar to a triangle iron or a poisonous unicorn.

But soon the Xiao gang leader discovered that it was not a hidden weapon that stabbed their disciple's foot, but those very soft grasses. At this moment, the grass has turned into a moist steel cone.
