"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 Seeing that the water rope that was destined for death was withdrawn little by little, the people struggling in the turbulence suddenly boiled, and tears fell in an instant.

"My beg, 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 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? Daikoku shouted with wide eyes.

"Speak of conscience! We helped you get back a lot more money that day than here! And I rescued you when you fell into the water just now! 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.

"Please! Don't leave us behind! We don't want to die! Even as the turbulent water swept away over and over again, they were still shouting hoarsely at the ship. They can't let the ship go away like that, and if the ship does, they're doomed to die in the waters.

But no matter how much they shouted, they broke their throats and shouted that they were dead, and none of the ten big ships stopped, not one of them. The ship hoisted the sails of despair in their eyes, and rode away in the cold wind, taking away all their hope of survival.

Watching the ship move away little by little, the only remaining light in Zhong Wuyan's eyes dimmed. She kept listening to the frightened cries of the others, and the more she listened, the more desperate and miserable she became. For no matter how much they shout, no one will give them a penny of mercy.

The lives of these people are not as good as a piece of gold coins!

It wasn't until the shadow of the ship completely disappeared from view that Zhong Wuyan felt that the whole world was gray. But the men, her little brothers, the rest of the townspeople, were still shouting—but not in fear, but in despair.

Someone is desperate: "Why? Why am I dying? Why should I die if I don't have any money? ”

Someone is hating: "Ungrateful! I took the risk to save them, but they wouldn't pay for me! Beast! They are all animals that recognize money but not people! ”

There are also people who hug their children and cry bitterly: "Child, it's useless to be a father, there is no money to save you, you must be reincarnated into a rich family in the next life......"

Listening to these sounds that rose and fell in the turbulence, Zhong Wuyan, who was floating with the waves, felt that his heart was full of knives one after another. She also despairs, she also hates, she also wants to cry.

But at this time, she heard Er Fat's cry in pain, her eyes moved out, and she saw her struggling in the water like Er Fat going crazy, crying bitterly, and when he was most desperate, his stutter was actually gone.

"Why don't we have any money? Why do we never take other people's money! Why do we have to return all the money to everyone after we rob the government! ”

"Do they have one of them who cares if we live or die? People's hearts are harder than the other, why don't we want money instead of being fools who help others! I'd rather ask for money! I wouldn't die here if I asked for money! ”

"I don't want to die, I don't want to die!"

The second fat cry pierced Zhong Wuyan's heart like a sharp knife, didn't these words seem to be directed at her?

She struggled to turn through the turbulence, and turned her gaze to the stone village brothers who were trapped in the water in all directions, and saw the desperate gaze and anguished faces in their eyes.

She jerked her head again, and saw that Da Hei and the three dogs in the distance were also in the same agony in the water, and their eyes were all the same despair—the despair that regretted that they had believed in love and righteousness and disdained money.

For a moment, Zhong Wuyan felt a huge sense of guilt pressing on her weak body.

Blame her for everything, although no one said it, but she knew that she could understand the despair in their eyes, and everyone was actually blaming her......

Oh, yes! If it weren't for her stubbornness and disregard for money, so many people would not have been able to follow her to live without money. If she hadn't given back the money she had gotten back to the townspeople every time, they wouldn't have been without money in the first place. If it weren't for her, they wouldn't all die here!

It's all because of her stubbornness, her stupidity. Why was she so disdainful of money before? Why do you have to be so arrogant and tough? She has never taken a penny, she has never had money, so until now, she has not had a penny to take out to save people.

And because of that, they're all going to die here!

The water of the Xuan River still poured into the town, churning the rushing river, mercilessly sweeping people one by one, and drowning even their despair.

And in the turbulence, Er Fat still howled like crazy, his water nature was actually not good, a wave fell, and his entire 300-pound body sank under the water, and never floated again.

Up to now, Da Hei is still upright, he desperately swims against the current, trying to save Er Fat and the other sinking brothers, but the turbulent river has pushed his last bit of affection farther and farther.

Sangouzi's water nature should be the best among everyone, but he looked at the brothers who sank one by one, and Zhong Wuyan, who lost his mind, actually stopped swimming, and quietly looked at the big wave that was approaching, and before the wave came down, he sank into the water by himself.

Zhong Wuyan, it seems that only Zhong Wuyan is left in the end. She lost her mind, and watched her brothers sink into the turbulence one by one, and watched her family die one by one in the water, and her whole body fell into despair.

In fact, she has always treated everyone as family! They are lonely people, and they all regard each other as the most important thing to rely on! But they ...... They're all going to die here, because of her! Because she has no money!

So Zhong Wuyan didn't struggle, she just let the turbulence roll her heavy body and drift, and then when the surging waves fell in the air, she sank into the water and never came out......

The flood lasted for a day, and the raging waters of the Xuan River flooded all the life of Chenhe Town, leaving only a bleak ocean.

- When she woke up, it was three days later.

Zhong Wuyan didn't think that she would be able to wake up, but the ill-intentioned stroke of fate made her, who didn't want to live the most, survive this catastrophe.

It was still noon when she opened her eyes, and she lay stiffly on the mountain pass in the distance, her soaked body scorched hot by the scorching sun.

She struggled to turn her flickering gaze, but instead of seeing a trace of Chen Hezhen, she saw three figures standing beside her.

The excessive consumption of physical strength and the long period of not eating made her no longer have the strength to be surprised by the scene in front of her, but she could see the three figures clearly with her squinting eyes.

A man covered in armor, a swordsman in strange costumes, and a man in a white cloak.

"The water of the Xuan River has been flooded for three days, and you have survived - the great calamity and not dying must have the meaning of your survival." The man in the white cloak spoke, in a young and deep voice.

"Tell me your name, woman."

"My name is ...... Zhong Wuyan. Zhong Wuyan subconsciously wanted to say Zhong Da Hammer Zhong Wuyan, but after his numb consciousness was dulled for a while, he only said the three words "Zhong Wuyan" after all.

"Do you know who is behind the flood in the Xuan River?" The man in the white cloak changed his mind and asked this most sensitive question directly.

"Yes." Hearing this question, Zhong Wuyan's calm gaze suddenly changed, becoming extremely fierce, "Xu Fu! ”

"It's easy to know." The man in the white cloak smiled silently and said suddenly, "Now I tell you, in this flood, except for you, no one survived in Chenhe Town. ”

Zhong Wuyan's pupils froze silently, what she thought of, she didn't have to think about it to know, such a big flood, no one would definitely survive. But when she heard this, she still felt a pain as if she was suffocating.

"Do you want revenge? Go and kill Xu Fu to take revenge. The man in the white cloak didn't give Zhong Wuyan more time to calm down, and asked concisely and smoothly.

"Report!" Zhong Wuyan trembled and spit out the word, without thinking. Although her body was still stiff on the ground, her voice was unexpectedly firm.

"Heh, the strong people who survive the catastrophe must have taken revenge as their lifelong wish, and I really didn't mistake you." The man in the white cloak smiled lightly.

Then he reached out and uncovered his white cloak, allowing Zhong Wuyan to see his young face under his purple and silver hair.

"Zhong Wuyan, I am the prince of the thirty-seventh generation of the Qin Chu royal family! Come with me, and with us, you can fulfill your only long-cherished wish now! ”

"The only long-cherished wish?" Zhong Wuyan stared at Ying Zheng, who seemed to be less than twenty years old, and said in a sluggish voice.

"Kill Xu Fu! Come with us, and you will be able to kill Xu Fu to take revenge! Ying Zheng said firmly in a still young voice, and then asked rhetorically, "Isn't this your only wish now?" ”

"I have two wishes now." Zhong Wuyan was still lying on the ground weakly, but stared at Ying Zheng and said in a deep voice.

"Oh?" Ying Zheng was slightly surprised and asked, "What is the other one?" ”

Zhong Wuyan looked at him, his gaze gradually moved to the depths of the sky, and his voice sank for a long time before he slowly exhaled-

"Money!"
