"If you don't have money, you're going to die!" The Governor of the Water condescended to drink, and his voice was as heavy and powerful as a stone smashed into the water.

With that, the Chief Governor of the Water raised his palm mercilessly, allowing the officers and soldiers to withdraw the lowered water rope. "Don't! Don't take the rope, my lord! "Seeing that the water rope that was destined for death was withdrawn little by little, the people struggling in the turbulence suddenly boiled, and tears fell in an instant." I beg you, my lord! Take me away! Get me out with you! We will be a cow and a horse for you for the rest of your life to pay off your debts! "The water was rushing in, and the trapped people were actually floating in the rushing river, like duckweeds with nothing to rely on, but they all craned their necks and shouted upwards.

Among them were the brothers from Shizhai and other townspeople in Chenhe Town, all of whom had no money to get on the boat. But they don't want to die! They're all afraid of death! There were even young children who were swept around by the big waves and looked at the big boat and cried in fear.

However, the Governor turned and walked down the bow of the boat, not even bothering to look at the people in the water. "Hmph." Commander Huang glanced coldly at Zhong Wuyan floating in the turbulence, and after sneering, he also turned around. And those townspeople who took out the money and were lucky enough to get on the boat, they deliberately turned their heads away, and none of them dared to look underwater, and none of them dared to pity their fellow townsmen.

Zhong Wuyan's pupils froze, she didn't know what to do, she really didn't know what to do. She had never been forced to such a point by money, she had never disdained money before. But she didn't think that the thing that could decide the life and death of so many of them today was actually money!

At this moment, as strong as her, she finally revealed the vulnerability and helplessness that a twenty-five-year-old girl should have. She straightened her head and looked at the tall official ship like a dry earth thirsty for water, and immediately saw the rich man Chen with his pestle on the boat with his back to them, holding a bag of money tightly. "Rich Master Chen!" Zhong Wuyan was like grasping the last straw and issued a thirsty cry to the rich man Chen. She didn't want to die, and she didn't want her brothers to die here because she didn't have money, so she had to desperately call for help, even if it was against the principles she had always believed.

Rich Lord Chen stood on the boat in a hurry, and did not turn around, as if he had not heard Zhong Wuyan's voice. But Zhong Wuyan looked up at him and continued to shout, "Rich Master Chen, Uncle Chen!" "Uncle Chen, you are the richest person in the town. I know you still have money, can you borrow money to save us on the ship first, I promise to find a way to pay it back to you in the future - I Zhong Sledgehammer has always said the same, please borrow money to save us this time, okay! Zhong Wuyan prayed to Rich Master Chen very sincerely, but Rich Master Chen still did not look back.

"Oh, sledgehammer, it's not that Uncle Chen won't save him when he sees death, it's that I really don't have any money! Although I used to be relatively wealthy, my whole family was wiped out by a big flood, and where is the money? Rich Lord Chen turned his back to Zhong Wuyan and said in extreme embarrassment. There were more than a hundred people in the water, and one person needed a gold coin, how could he spend so much money to save them! "Rich Lord Chen! Don't you still have money in your arms? Can't you just save us once? "Dahei's eyes widened too! Please, save us all once! ”

"Da Hei, it's really not that I don't save it, it's that I don't have money! The last bit of money is my future capital! Uncle really can't help you this time! Look for someone else. Rich Lord Chen looked back at Da Hei bitterly, and hugged the money bag in his arms tighter. He did not dare to stay any longer by the boat, and after throwing the conversation at the others, he squeezed himself into the middle of the boat.

After knowing that Rich Lord Chen was ungrateful and would not be saved from death, Zhong Wuyan and the others no longer had hope for him, but moved their eyes to the other townspeople on the ship, they were different from Rich Lord Chen, they were not so stingy and so ruthless. "Everyone, we are all compatriots in the town. You all know who I Zhong Wuyan is, and you can see how many things I have done for Chen Hezhen over the years. Now I beg you, will the rich people give us some money to get us all on the boat? Zhong Wuyan looked up at the other townspeople on the boat, praying with tears on her face, hoping that they could lend a helping hand to their compatriots in times of need.

But none of them spoke, and the townspeople on the ship all bowed their heads, and none of them responded to Zhong Wuyan's call. "We are all compatriots of the same town! Please, save us once! Zhong Wuyan's eyes trembled uncontrollably, she didn't expect, she didn't expect, she didn't expect that the other townsfolk would be as silent as Rich Lord Chen. So she cried out repeatedly, hoping to arouse their pity.

The people who were swept up in the turbulence also shouted in pleading, but none of the townspeople on the boat answered. None of them responded. In fact, they are also tormented in their hearts, they also have more or less money on them, and they also want to save people - but even a rich person like Rich Chen is stubborn and refuses to save them, what qualifications and abilities do these people have to be this rising bird? Besides, there are so many people trapped in the water! Will they be saved? How many can you save? I can't say who I want to save or who I don't want to save? And life will be very difficult in the future, they now take out the only money left in their hands to save people, what will they do in the future? So the people on the ship went through the inner moral torment, but in the end, none of them lent a helping hand to their compatriots underwater.

Zhong Wuyan kept shouting upwards with tears in her eyes. She didn't expect, really didn't expect, those people, those townspeople of Chenhe Town, whom she believed and loved, would be so indifferent. At such a critical time, none of them was willing to pay to save their compatriots in the same town! Recalling that when the flood had just flooded Chenhe Town, she and her Shizhai brothers rushed into the turbulent flow to save the sinking townspeople. But now when they are in danger, none of those people will help them!

Money! Money! Money! It's all money! Is money that important! Is it more important than human life! In the churning water, the people still kept shouting, and although none of the compatriots on the boat responded, they still went and shouted desperately—because this was their last hope! They really don't want to die in this water! But the sky didn't even want to leave them a chance to shout, and the ten big ships that were floating on the surface of the water gradually moved.

It was the Governor of the Water who gave the order, and he did not want to waste any more time with these refugees who had no money, so he ordered to return to the ship and leave. "Don't! Don't leave us behind! "When people saw the movement of the boats, they panicked. They screamed desperately, struggling to swim against the current, but the rushing river kept coming, only to sweep them farther away.
