It was the silent midnight, three o'clock in the morning. The hazy moonlight seeped in from between the trees, but it was pitch black under the trees, and people walked in front of them, reaching out without their fingers. The cold wind blows gently, and the leaves drip with dew dripping to the ground.

The sound of footsteps breaking the original calm, a group of people with torches walking cautiously, is a group of partners of gold bearers, this is a group of walking in the forefront of the group, after a long journey, they are far ahead of the crowd, the number of about fifty or sixty people, the majority of men, less than ten women.

"If you insist, we have left them far away, and we will definitely be the first to reach the end!" A leading man with a gold bag shouted at the crowd, and everyone shouted in unison.

A relatively thin man whispered to him, "Boss, we have been gone for a long time, can we rest for a while?" The man looked at him with a dissatisfied face and said, "Don't affect morale here, we are far ahead, victory is just around the corner!" The man's face was uncomfortable when he heard this, his shoulders were swollen, and his feet trembled a little weakly.

The leader looked at the people who followed behind him, and the fatigue and discomfort on their faces were reflected in the light of the fire, but they preferred to continue to bear it, because this was their hope, and as long as they persevered to the end, their lives would change forever, and the suffering of the present was only for a better life in the near future.

"Everyone has worked hard, but we can't rest, our life is already very hard! This is an opportunity to change our lives, and if we miss it, we can only go back to our previous lives, so we can't be discouraged. He said it very plainly, but it was all in his heart, and in fact they were masked by the discomfort that existed now.

It was only when the people heard his words that they stirred up the hope that was about to fall asleep in their hearts, and they all cheered up, for they never wanted to live again in their old lives. The leader's eyes showed a look of satisfaction, this was what he wanted to see, and this was what he thought.

"Boss, what's that?"

The thin man suddenly opened his eyes and pointed ahead and shouted, he looked in the direction he was pointing, it was the exit of the forest, and in front of him was a large glittering unidentified object, which he guessed from what he knew must be a body of water.

None of them knew that the island had been understood, and when everyone arrived, they saw clearly under the light of the fire, it turned out to be a big river, because it was night, and they couldn't see what color the river was, and the water seemed to be asleep, without a trace of waves, which couldn't help but make people feel weird to look at, and when they opened their eyes, the river was long and did not see the tail, and the river was about three hundred meters wide, and it seemed that the only way to cross the river was to cross from here, but no one knew how deep the river was.

"What should I do?"

Everyone looked at each other, and the leader's brows sank, it is not a wise choice to cross the river now, not to mention that I don't know the depth of the water or other creatures, and the danger of rash action can be imagined, but now if they don't cross the river, their previous efforts can be said to be in vain, if they build a ship now, such a number of people must have taken a lot of time.

After being silent for a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Who dares to explore the road with me first?" Everyone looked at each other, and one of the men stood up and shouted, "Me! The leader nodded appreciatively and said, "Okay, let's explore the way first, and you will follow, and ask the men to carry the gold bags for the ladies with their broad shoulders." He was very attentive because he saw that the women were a little scared, and most women were naturally afraid of water.

The men put the women's gold bags on their bodies, and the women all showed moved eyes. The leader nodded in satisfaction, and then carried the gold bag and walked with the man into the river first.

"We'll be safe." He encouraged the way, then stretched out his feet into the river, the flat and waveless river rippled a circle of water lines, he walked slowly into the river with both feet, the two walked forward slowly, the two were suddenly surprised to find that the river was not deep, even very shallow, because they walked more than 20 meters, the water was not up to their knees. It should not be called a river, but a creek, but a bigger, longer stream.

"Safety!"

The man turned his head and shouted in surprise, and everyone on the shore couldn't help but smile excitedly when they heard this, feeling that God was helping them. Then they all carried the gold bags down the river, and even the women frolicked happily and followed into the water, and the circles of water ripples drifted into the distance, adding a sense of romance to the lonely water surface.

"It's so cool and comfortable!" Several women couldn't help laughing, their gold bags were resisted by men, some began to bend down and wash their faces with water in their hands, the women who love beauty have not taken a bath for more than a day, which makes them very uncomfortable, and now this water simply makes them love it, and then they are laughing and washing their faces, and the men are also fascinated by their laughter, showing a smile.

"I ...... I'm ...... What does it feel like...... It seems like...... Getting colder? ”

The man who walked with the leader suddenly asked with a trembling corner of his mouth, the leader looked at him with a torch, and suddenly found that his face was pale, saying that he was cold and acceptable, but the strange thing was that a faint layer of frost actually appeared on his face!

"Ahh

Suddenly, I heard the woman's scream, turned my head to look, and saw the women covering their faces with their hands tightly, screaming again and again.

"Hair ...... What happened...... Affair! ”

The leader shouted, but when he shouted, he realized that he had stuttered, and he was shocked. A woman opened her hands, and under the light of the fire, he saw a face that was eroded and rotten, and the originally beautiful girl instantly turned into a hideous grimace, and a man around him fell into the water with a scream, and the torch in his hand was also extinguished by the water.

"Save ...... Help me! ”

The man who fell on the water seemed to have fallen into a deep river, but the water was not deep at all! The man slapped the water with both hands desperately, and seemed to sink deeper and deeper, and the two men next to him hurriedly rushed over to pull him, but they found that their feet seemed to be pulled by something, and they couldn't move, but they knew that they were powerless to move!

The leader tried to rush ashore, but he also found that he could not move, and could not even speak, for he had somehow become mute, and the only sound he made was an embarrassed whine.

The panicked crowd screamed in the sky, the strange moonlight shone down from the clouds, and a large wave of waves shook on the flat and waveless water, and the fire rods were extinguished one after another, and finally returned to their original calm, as if nothing had happened, except for the footprints left on the shore—

The forest was damp, dew was dripping from the branches, and strange insect cries were heard from time to time in the trees, and at this time, the seven of them walked through the forest, except for Yu Guo and Wan Zhi, everyone else was holding torches, and since the rest, the seven of them walked all the way, and on the way they met no one else except for a few groups of contestants who had given up the race.

Without stopping all the way, Wan Zhi took a deep breath and said: "Or, let's take a break, we have to maintain our physical and mental strength at all times, and everything will not be done quickly." Everyone nodded their heads when they heard this.

Yu Guo picked up some branches next to the tree and gathered them together, then took out a stack of money from his backpack and threw it in, the torch was lit, everyone couldn't help but be shocked when they saw it, watching him burn money without blinking his eyelids, and teasing: "Look, rich people are different!" Everyone laughed, but the fish continued to burn with a blank face.

The fish fruit lit a cigar and threw one to the crowd, and then sucked and sucked. But because of the dampness, all the branches picked up by the fish fruit were soaked, and the money was about to burn out, but it still couldn't be completely ignited, but he decisively took out two stacks of money and continued to throw them into the fire, looking at him without any expression, but everyone had a black line on their faces.

"Don't we have torches, don't we have to be so extravagant?"

Guo Ke couldn't help but say, she watched Yu Guo burn money, her heart was like being cut by a knife, this is also her money, but if you ask yourself, you will burn it! It's just too much. Everyone nodded their heads in the middle of nowhere.

Yu Guo took a deep breath of his cigarette, and then showed a strange smile and said, "You should know that I am carrying one hundred and ten pounds." Guo Ke shook his head to show that he didn't understand, and Wan Zhi saw that she was confused, so he smiled and said: "One hundred catties can get double rewards, if you want to get three times, you need one hundred and fifty catties, and the extra ten catties are used for all kinds of indiscriminate use, this guy has already been calculated." ”

Everyone sighed, they didn't expect Yu Guo to have such an idea, but fortunately, there is no saying in the rules that you can't burn money, otherwise you won't be able to use up these ten catties. Guo Ke woke up when he heard this, and recalled with a face: "I was still wondering why you had to carry one hundred and ten pounds for Lu, but it turned out that you had already calculated it." ”

Yu Guo continued to burn the money, and then showed that sloppy smile and teased, "I have calculated everything, but I have missed you." Everyone laughed, only Guo Ke touched his head and didn't know why.

Aiqin was also amused by the fish, but she laughed and laughed, and suddenly felt dizzy in her head, and then couldn't help but scream in pain, her hands pressed her head tightly and looked extremely painful, everyone didn't know what happened to Lu Dao, Xiong Di next to her hurriedly helped Aiqin, who was almost down, and said, "What's uncomfortable?" ”

Aiqin pressed his head tightly, and the corners of his mouth trembled: "Water...... Water ......"

Xiong Di hurriedly took out water for her, but Aiqin still frowned in pain and covered her head with both hands.

"Blood...... Blood Flower! ”

"What snowflakes?" The crowd looked at each other and was bewildered.

After a few seconds, Aegean suddenly opened his eyes and saw that they were looking at him strangely, but he didn't know what was happening. She asked with a confused expression, "You ...... Why do you see me like that? ”

Exactly: the Midnight Dead River is in shock, and the rich people burn money to have fun.
