Chapter 374: The Past (33)
Taifu has always known that they are a group of people who know how to repay their kindness.
Although the Moon Country and the Wind Country are feuding, this incident made him see something different.
The barbaric and unreasonable Moon Country people in the mouths of the people of the Wind Country are actually not barbaric at all.
They are affectionate and righteous, they know how to repay their kindness, and they put righteousness in the most important position.
They don't have the sleekness of the people of the Wind Country, and they do not have the sophistication of the People of the Wind Country.
They speak one word in everything.
Although they are in a wilderness, their hearts are not barren at all.
Instead, it's him.
It was him, a proud, unstoppable man, who felt that he was amazing.
Compared to what they think, what is he?
It's just a person who is good at playing tricks and has nothing but money and status in his eyes.
Taifu helped Xiao Yi and watched the people sent by the Moon Kingdom salvage in the canal.
The sky has cleared.
A piece of blue that connects the surroundings.
No one could have imagined that just yesterday, it was raining heavily.
The wind, the rain, swept away a boatload of people.
Took away a group of people he admired.
Heaven may be really unfair.
A simple and kind person like Da Niu should suffer like this.
And the real wicked don't know what they're doing yet.
Salvaged fishing boats sail the canal one by one.
No one spoke.
It was as silent as death.
"We've got it!"
The boatman on a fishing boat shouted loudly in the Moon Country dialect.
Xiao Yi, who was originally calm, burst into tears.
"Brother!"
He cried so loudly that he couldn't even stand up, and slowly slipped down and sat down on the ground.
"It's all here!"
The fishing boat seemed to have caught more than one person.
So, all the fishing boats around me rowed away.
Soon, it was surrounded by a crowd of people.
The fishermen took off their robes and jumped into the water one by one.
The weather was not yet warm, and the water in the canal was cold to the bone, but they still jumped one by one.
Without a hint of hesitation.
Most of the fishermen who come here come voluntarily.
They were all friends of the departed craftsmen.
Yesterday, after he informed the news to the border of the Moon Country not far away, he immediately got a reply.
A large number of fishermen volunteered to come here to fish.
From the fishing boats to their tools, they brought everything from their own homes.
One of the fishermen cried and told him that if he didn't come, his conscience would be troubled for the rest of his life.
Because it was their brother who sank in it.
He couldn't see them for the last time, but at least, he had to give them one last ride.
None of them spoke all the way.
In silence, one by one, they put the bodies fished from the bottom of the river into the boats and carried them to the shore.
The bodies of the craftsmen were the same as they had been in life, dressed in shabby clothes and with messy hair.
Some of them were covered in aquatic weeds, others were covered in mud.
The bottom of the canal is covered with layers of artificially paved silt, and even stepping on it can sink in, not to mention that they are blown to the bottom of the river in the wind and rain.
The corpses were brought up one by one.
Taifu's eyes were a little moist.
Soon, tears poured out of his eyes.
I can't stop it.
He hadn't shed a tear in years.
His mother kept telling him that men bleed, sweat and don't shed tears.
Even at his mother's funeral, he didn't shed such tears.
And this time, by the canal on this border.
He looked at the corpses of the twenty-odd men and couldn't stop the tears.
Xiao Yi couldn't cry anymore.
He broke free from Taifu's hand and rushed to the corpse.
"Brother..... brother..... open your eyes, look at me, please, don't fall asleep here, it's too cold here, let's go home and sleep, okay.........."
He hadn't eaten since yesterday and didn't close his eyes.
I've been staying by the canal, expecting even one person to climb ashore.
It's just that the result disappointed him.
No one came up.
For the whole night, he sat quietly on the shore.
Taifu sat with him, and he could almost feel the thick air of despair in him.
All of them died.
He is the only one alive.
Their life was given to him.
Taifu could almost imagine what the craftsmen were thinking.
They must feel that Xiao Yi is still young, he still has too far to come, and he hasn't even married yet.
If they let him go, they won't be able to close their eyes.
"Xiao Yi..... deceased is like Sifu. Let them rest in peace. ”
Taifu didn't rush to wipe away his tears.
He looked at Xiao Yi's desperate back and felt some sympathy.
"They all have wives and daughters...... They also have the right to live! Why! Why did they save me? They could have gone ashore on their own! At that time, the boat had not yet sunk ..... ship! They could have lived! But they wasted all that time in order to get me ashore........
"Little Easy ........"
"What's the use of me living! What's the important thing about me! What about my youngest! In my future life, I won't have my brothers with me! What am I? I might as well die with them.......
"Smack!"
By the time Taifu reacted, he had already slapped Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi was slapped by him and fell directly to the ground.
He turned his face away, his face obscured by his messy hair, and his expression was not visible.
Taifu felt a little guilty.
But he felt that this slap was more deserved.
"Your life was bought by more than 20 of them with their lives! It's not that you don't want it if you want to! Your life is now heavier than anyone else's! You are carrying the lives of more than 20 people! If you really feel sorry for them, then work hard! Feed their families for them and fulfill their dreams for them! What is the use of crying here, not wanting to die here!"
The more he spoke, the louder he became, as if he was afraid that Xiao Yi didn't hear it.
"What do you think they think? They are for you! For you, a person who has not seen all this world in a few years, who has not yet married a wife and had children, and who has not yet continued the incense for your family!
"Adult ........."
Xiao Yi turned his head, and the tears had already washed his dirty face black and white.
He raised his hand, wiped away his tears, and knelt solemnly towards the corpse on the shore.
Lying here is his savior.
Each, every one is.
He knocked his head three times,
"Brothers, you saved my life, and from now on, this life will be your family's. In the future, your family will be Xiao Yi's family, and Xiao Yi will definitely not treat them badly. I will definitely get ahead, and I will definitely live with your share......."
"Is there one person missing?"
Taifu took a closer look, and only then did he find something strange.
More than twenty people lined up neatly, but there was always a strange feeling.
"Less...... Missing Big Bull!"
