When I woke up, I was already on shore. I was still holding the box of gold in my arms.

That's gold, it's the first time I've seen such a real box of gold!

All of a sudden, I was so excited that I forgot to go home. I held the box of gold, took it out one by one, and after touching it, I put it back one by one.

I had completely forgotten that I had just been in a situation where I was dying.

In this way, it was not until the sun set in the west that I put away my excitement and planned to go home immediately and tell my family the good news.

Just as I stood up and was about to turn around, I noticed a man on the other side of the Yellow River.

This made me a little curious, after all, I had only been to the other side of the Yellow River a few times. Generally, people from our village rowed over, and few people appeared on the opposite side.

So, I stopped and turned to see what the man was going to do.

At the moment when I turned around, the man had come from the other side of the bank, and was standing on my side of the embankment, facing the Yellow River, motionless.

Seeing this, I rubbed my eyes vigorously, I was sure that I was not dazzled, that person was on the other side just now, why did he come here after a while?

I subconsciously hugged the gold in my arms, afraid that he would come at my gold.

But...... He spoke, he faced the Yellow River, but he was talking to me, and he said: "This river has been sealed for a long time, and when he unseals it, it is when danger comes, and your village will not be protected." ”

I didn't even react because it was completely beyond my comprehension.

Just as I was confused, the man had already turned around.

(When Jin Da Bucktooth said this, he coughed and said to me: "This is the first time I have seen your grandfather, and although his eyes were serious, he couldn't hide the suppressed exhaustion in his heart.) At the time, I saw him as either a god or a liar. But then I found out I was wrong, I was really wrong! ”）

The man turned around and didn't speak, just stared straight at me.

At that time, my interest in him also waned, and I decided that he was a fool and decided to leave the place.

All I remember is that he let out a long sigh as I turned to leave......

That night, when I took a box of gold home, the whole family was really happy, especially my mother, who went to the east of the village for the first time to buy a full ten catties of mutton, ready to come back to make dumplings.

That evening, our family was as lively as the Chinese New Year......

As for me, after eating that meal of mutton dumplings and drinking two taels of soju, I had already forgotten everything that happened under the water.

As I said before, under the water, my dad told me that there was a major disaster in the village tomorrow and that he wanted me to flee with my family as soon as I got home.

But what he didn't know was that disaster had struck that night......

It was just before nightfall, and the village patrol team reported several cracks in the Yellow River embankment south of the village.

As usual, for a few cracks, it is only necessary to send the workers from the village to repair the dam.

But today, none of the workers in the village can be found!

I was so drunk that I didn't react, and it wasn't until I escaped the next day that I remembered that the workers who were building the dam were the same people who had gone down the Yellow River with me the day before.

Later, the village chief sent a few temporary workers to repair it.

The dam repair here is not over, and on the other side, several families died at the dinner table while having dinner.

After an examination by the barefoot doctor in the village, he found that they had two blood holes on their bodies, which were big or small.

Because it was summer, there was no way, so the village chief had to ask someone to carry the dead to the back mountain and put them there temporarily.

Unfortunately, most of the strong men in the village went to repair the embankment. The village chief had no choice but to call me and my brother together.

At that time, I was still immersed in the joy of getting the gold, so I didn't think anything about it and went along.

When I arrived, I found that there were five families and a total of more than a dozen people dead.

At that time, there were still some corpses that were not packed in, and I saw that the corpses gradually calmed down, but because of the strength of the soju, I did not realize the seriousness of the matter.

When we put all the bodies in a sloppy coffin and carried them up the mountain, the matter got even worse......

When the coffin was buried, three or four villagers said they wanted to go to the toilet. As a result, they didn't come back until we had buried the last coffin.

At that time, I thought that the villagers wanted to be lazy and sneaked back to the village first, so I persuaded the rest of the people to go back to the village directly.

Can...... On the way back to the village, a few more villagers disappeared inexplicably.

In the blink of an eye, my brother and sister, my drunken head suddenly sobered up.

I remembered what my father said in the water: "When you go back, leave with your family immediately, and go as far as possible." ”

It turned out that my father's warning was true. That's not my hallucination!

I immediately told my brothers about it, and they all froze. Only my eldest brother trembled and said, "I remember, I remember." This is our curse on the earth, and the curse is coming......"

After he repeated it a few times, he suddenly roared, and raised his shovel to my second brother who was standing next to him.

His move frightened several of our brothers, and I wanted to stop it, but the eldest brother's speed was so fast that before I could stretch out my hand, the second brother's neck had already been cut in half by him.

The blood gushing out of the second brother's wound spurted directly on several of us.

The second brother fell to the ground like this.

I didn't know what was going on, so I had to push my brother, who was still stunned, and ran down the mountain.

And my eldest brother did not choose to chase us, but stood in front of my second brother's corpse and smirked......

The last time I looked back, I saw him holding a shovel and slamming it on his head......

I didn't dare to look any further, I just wanted to take my brother back to the village, find my family, and fly away with that box of gold, never to come back......

However, when I arrived at the village gate, I realized that it was too late......

The village was already on fire, and every house was surrounded by flames.

However, I didn't see any villagers escaping from the flames. Did they all escape?

Seeing that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, I knew that if I didn't go in again, let alone my family, even the box of gold would turn into powder.

Probably thinking of that box of gold at the time, somehow I left my brother behind and rushed into the village.

Although the fire was fierce, I rushed back to my home.

When I broke through the door, I didn't see my family, and I didn't think much of it, so I grabbed the box of gold that was under my bed and ran out the door.

However, as soon as I left the house, I was hit in the head by something.

Fortunately, I was a sturdy post-mortem at the time, so I didn't faint immediately. I lay on the ground, clinging to the box of gold in my hand.

It was only then that we realized that the village must have been invaded by bandits from some road in the mountains.

I didn't dare to look up at the time, I just knew that there were so many of them. But...... Strangely, those people don't even speak our tongues, who are they? Outsiders? Why set fire to our little poor mountain village?
