"Drink, pull!" The old slender man shouted loudly and raised his head, as if he was going to sing a song. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Hey, hey!" The slender men responded in unison, which seemed to be an embellishment in their tired and boring lives, so almost every slender man responded loudly.

"Our family was born by the canal, and the housekeeper asked me to lead the boat!" The old slender man sang this unknown ballad of the slender man, and his mournful voice was like a wordless sigh.

"Hey! Too much hard work and too little fun, the sand and water sleep are not as good as birds! ”

"Pour water against the wind and sink thousands of stones, driving unbearable lying in the mud!"

"Hey, the night is long, the water is cold, the water is short, and the back is broken and the foot is cracked!"

"There is nowhere to say about the hard work of a lifetime, and all the people sing the song of pulling the boat!"

"Hey, why don't you go to half of the thatched house, your parents' hometown can't be abandoned!"

"I would like to have three or five acres of soil, I would like to have three or five acres of soil!" The old slender man sang this sentence repeatedly, and there was indescribable yearning and sadness in his words: "I would like to have three or five acres of soil, and I would like to have three or five acres of soil!" ”

"Hey! I wish to have three or five acres of soil, and never sing this song again for the rest of my life! The slender men replied loudly, and their words were filled with infinite sorrow and sorrow.

"I wish there were three or five acres of soil, and I would never sing this song again for the rest of my life!" (Note 1) At the end, all the people sang in unison, and the momentum was so great that it seemed that the power of the flowing water had been stopped by them, and the heavy boat moved forward vigorously!

"Good!" The slender men smiled as if they had done a great job, and they cheered and shouted for this rare victory and joy!

Suddenly, the wind is coming!

The wind was so strong that it caused a disturbance in the current, blowing the sails on the boat, and even more so that the red flag on the ship made a fierce sound, like a big man shaking in front of the barracks. It's a pity that the direction of the wind is opposite to the direction that the slender men are trying to do, and the boat, which is about to cross the current, immediately stalemates in place!

The slender men shouted loudly, and they lowered their bodies and hung down as if they were about to kneel on the ground, but instead of praying to heaven, they were fighting to the death against nature with all their strength. The muscles on their arms bulged high, like iron arms, their eyes were bulging, their mouths were closed, and their expressions were serious, as if they were fighting to the death with an invisible enemy, and the dark-skinned boy Zhou Jun saw just now grinded out a red mark on his back, which was like a scar left by a whip, and the black skin rolled out, oozing red blood, which made people shocking when they saw it.

The slender men began to shout and scold, and the boat scolded: "Into the mother thief, quickly hold on, hold on!" The slender man shouted: "Dog man and woman, avoid, avoid!" "To avoid is to avoid the bones of the water flow in order to reduce the resistance of the water flow. For a while, the elder brother scolded the younger brother, the father scolded the son, and all kinds of vulgar scolding flew all over the sky, as if they were scolding the two armies.

The slender men have worked hard, but how can the strength of man be compared to nature! They tried to move forward, but the boat still began to tilt slowly—the most terrible thing of all, because if the boat capsized, most of the slender men who pulled the boat would not die or be injured!

"Work hard, work hard!"

"Hard, hard!" The slender men encouraged each other, they scolded each other, and encouraged each other, love and hate, joy and sorrow were harmoniously blended here!

They hadn't fought against nature, and the boat was still slowly deflecting.

One foot,

Two feet,

Three feet,

The boat tilted slowly, and the owner of the boat, who was standing at the bow, jumped to his feet and cursed, first to God, then to the slender man, and then to luck, and then began to curse himself, but it still had no effect. He offered a lot of rewards, increasing the bounty from ten to one hundred wen per person, but it still couldn't stop the boat from capsizing!

Zhou Jun couldn't bear to look at it, he didn't dare to imagine the result of the boat after it overturned, he didn't know anything else, but the slender man standing on the side of the boat was definitely the first victim!

Who will come to their rescue?

Suddenly, a noisy voice came, and it was other slender men who came to help!

The slender man led by him was about forty years old, with short black hair and a big nose, and he looked quite fierce, but at the moment he looked anxious: "Boss Yang, hold on, hold on, brothers are here!" ”

These slender men who came to the rescue were about 50 people, they did not ask the price, did not bargain, and did not take advantage of the danger of others, they picked up the rope without saying a word, put the rough rope on their shoulders, and shouted loudly.

They tugged at the rope as if it were their own business, and even though they didn't get paid for doing so, they did their best. Maybe it's because their living conditions require them to help each other, but no matter what, they don't care about pay, they don't think about reward, they even put their own lives in danger, just to save their fellow soldiers!

Even if they don't know each other, even if they have a grudge against each other, they still put aside their past suspicions and fight against the tyranny of nature together.

Although the slender man is hard, he is united.

The slender men shouted a neat trumpet, once, twice, three times, they wore out their backs, then they continued to pull in another place, and when they fell, then they touched the place where they fell, stood up and continued to pull, and when they were tired, they tied the rope around their waists and pulled with all their strength!

Go pull, go pull, this is not fighting for a job, this is selling for your life!

Nature seemed to succumb to the will of man, the wind gradually faded, the water tendons gradually disappeared, and the heavy and huge boat finally slowly survived this difficult section and slowly sailed onto the normal waterway!

"It's done!" This is the cheer of Boss Yang, the indifference and helplessness on his face disappeared, replaced by endless joy and joy, and more from the joy and victory over nature.

"Win!" This was the short-haired man with black hair who had come to the rescue, and he laughed, his voice thick and conspicuous in the midst of a slender man.

"Good, good, good!" The owner of the ship wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, clapped his hands and laughed, he took out a handful of copper coins from the money bag on his waist, and threw them down without counting them, "Poor bones, I will reward you!" ”

That's not much, at least definitely not as many as he had promised before, so many slender men, each of them can hardly be divided into ten.

But the slender men did not question or object, they just bowed their heads in silence and humiliated themselves picking up copper coins in the sewage and mud.

They must bow their heads, and these copper coins are the food and clothing of their family.

In the face of money, no one will bow their heads.

Zhou Jun didn't step forward, the worse the situation of these slender men, the easier it was for their recruitment plan to succeed, so he wouldn't give them a head.

"These slender men know how to help each other and know the strength of the collective, if they are trained a little, they will be an elite army!" Zhou Jun muttered to himself: "I know that you are suffering, but you will not suffer anymore, because the master is here, the Datong Society is here, and the Datongism is here, and we are here to save you." ”

"Yes, we are here to save you, we, the Cosmopolitan, are here to save you." The boy repeated, riding his white horse to the clearing by the river.

Lingling, the bell of the white horse under her crotch, left the suffering and struggle behind her, and slowly walked into the sunlight in front of her.
