Chapter 425: The River God Takes His Life

How to say that I am also a person who has experienced strong winds and waves, I have seen any ghosts, and I have encountered any thrills, but this time is different, this time I was really scared!

Not far upstream of us, I saw a torrent that was one or two meters higher than the river, rumbling downstream. And the thunder we heard just now was not thunder, it was the roar of this torrent upstream!

was exclaimed by me like this, Lao Liu Tou and the three of them also turned their heads to see this scene, and the four of them couldn't help but stay on the spot in shock. This torrent rushed towards us like thousands of horses, galloping and howling, unstoppable, not to mention our small wooden boat, even a house had to be toppled by this rushing torrent in an instant! In this way, do we still have a life?

All of a sudden, can we not freak out when we encounter this kind of thing?

We never dreamed that the Yellow River, which was still calm just now, would suddenly emerge with a torrent one or two meters high. The sky was clear overhead, and I didn't see any rain, so where did this torrent come from?

We couldn't think about it, and we didn't have time to think about it, we just looked at the roaring torrent in the distance and trembled. Yes, it's trembling, and each of us shuddering all over our bodies.

Xiao Liu shouted: "The villagers didn't lie to us, it's the river god, it's the river god who came to take his life, what should I do, what should I do......"

Xiao Liu's face changed so much that he was about to cry, and his legs were shaking and he couldn't stand steadily. Of course, seeing this, my heart was also a dead ash, and I secretly screamed: "Is it really the river god who is angry?" ”

It was Lao Liu Tou who was the first to react and yelled: "Row quickly, row to the other side!" ”

was yelled at by Lao Liu Tou, Xiao Liu and Xiao Xu also reacted, and then rowed desperately to the other side. However, we are still five or six meters away from the opposite bank, and the torrent is already ahead, where can we catch up?

Next, there was a strong wind, the river was huge, our boat swayed violently in the river, plopped, looked back, sat at the stern rowing Xiao Liu disappeared, obviously just plopped he fell into the water......

When he saw that his nephew was gone, Lao Liu was shocked, and he was about to jump into the river to find Xiao Liu. I told him not to look for it, and to hold on to the wooden boat, for the roaring torrent was about to crash against him.

As soon as the words fell, the roaring torrent crashed into it. All I knew was that I felt as if I had been violently pushed by a huge wall, and the whole person and the wooden boat flew straight away, and then the wooden boat split in all directions, and the sawdust flew sideways, and the whole wooden boat was smashed by the torrent. As for me, I had already been dizzy, but the instinct to survive made me hold on to a broken wooden plank and pour water into my stomach one by one in the midst of the stormy seas......

As for the rest of the matter, I don't know, because I've fainted.

When I woke up, I found myself lying on the bank of the Yellow River, surrounded by many villagers, including the old man who had advised me not to cross the river.

When they saw that I was awake, all the villagers rushed over and asked me how I was.

I spat a few sizzles of stinky water and told them I was okay while also thanking them for saving my life.

At this time, the old man scolded me hatefully, saying that I didn't listen to the old man, and I suffered a loss in front of me, and I told me not to cross the river in the morning, there was a river god in the river, and there would be no return, but I didn't listen to his advice, and now I was good, and I almost came back without my life.

I don't dare to refute the old man's words at all. Because as long as you are not a fool and understand, this torrent is not really so unreasonable, this clear sky, where will it be said that the water will rise, obviously it may be that the river god is angry.

At this time, I asked the villagers, are the other antique dealers who crossed the river still there? Is it already impossible to find it in the river?

The villagers sighed and said, "I found two, and the other one was found for a few miles of the river and there was still no trace, and there was no one alive or dead, hey...... What a sin, don't listen to persuasion, you outsiders! ”

"Only two?" My heart sank, and I knew that the person who didn't find it was probably dead. However, in such a thrilling situation just now, two more went ashore, which was obviously a blessing in misfortune, so I asked the villagers, how were those two people? Where is it now?

The villagers moved out of the way, and then in a place not far behind them, they said, "It's right there, everyone is scared and stupid and hasn't come back to their senses." ”

I looked over there, and sure enough, I saw two people sitting on the ground stupidly like chickens in soup, one old and one young, the old one was naturally Old Man Liu, and the young man was Xiao Xu. Obviously, the person who can't be found is naturally Xiao Liu, the nephew of Lao Liu.

Thinking that Xiao Liu was young and only in his twenties, he didn't expect to die in the Yellow River like this, which is really pitiful.

Because of falling into the water, I was tired and weak. But I still stood up, walked up to Lao Liu Tou and Xiao Xu, and asked them how they were?

Hearing my question, Xiao Xu and Lao Liu Tou both looked at me in a daze, Xiao Xu couldn't help but tremble, obviously did not recover from the shock just now, he looked very scary, his face was pale, his whole body trembled, and he didn't even fight with his teeth closed.

Seeing that Xiao Xu didn't speak, I sat down in front of them. The villagers gave each of the three of us a cigarette and told us to suppress our shock and calm our minds.

After smoking a cigarette, Xiao Xiao is much better. And Lao Liu Tou looked around in a daze, and then asked us: "Where is my nephew?" And what about one more person? Where is he? ”

The villagers knew that he was asking about the man he hadn't found, so they didn't know what to tell him. At this time, I said to Lao Liu: "Xiao Liu hasn't been found yet, but don't worry, the villagers will help us find it." ”

The villagers also nodded their heads and said that they would definitely help find someone.

As soon as Lao Liu heard that his nephew was not found, he naturally knew that there was a lot of luck and few luck, and most of them were dead, so he cried with a wow, and rushed to the Yellow River, and wanted to go down the river, but fortunately we hugged him.

After Lao Liu Tou struggled a few times, he stopped messing around, sat on the ground and cried bitterly, saying that he didn't know how to explain to his family.

Old Liu Tou cried very sadly, and we all listened very sadly. Fortunately, Xiao Xu kept persuading Lao Liu on the side, and everyone may be a little hearted.

On the same day, I and some villagers went downstream to look for a long section of the Yellow River, but we still did not find Xiao Liu's body, and finally had to return to the village when it was almost dark.

Seeing us returning empty-handed, Lao Liu Tou also knew the result, but he no longer cried, but was stunned and didn't say a word, extremely sad.

On that day, we stayed in the village for one night, and the next morning, I was ready to go and comfort old Liu Tou, since his nephews had been in an accident, they might not go to the other side again, and they could be regarded as saying goodbye to them.

However, when I entered the house and told Lao Liu Tou, Lao Liu Tou told me that he still had to go to the temple village on the other side. The reason is that his younger brother is such a son as Xiao Liu, and now that Xiao Liu is dead, his younger brother has no one to support him, so he must go to the temple village and find the legendary river temple hidden in the Yellow River, so that Xiao Liu's family can have no worries in their later years.

Lao Liu asked Xiao Xu if he would like to go, Xiao Xu after a night's rest, his spirit has almost recovered, although he was scared half to death about yesterday's horror, but maybe he thought of the gold and antiques of the River Temple, and nodded that he wanted to continue going.

In this way, after the three of us had breakfast in the village, we told the villagers that we were going to cross the river to the other side.

This time, the old man who dissuaded us at the beginning said to us: "If you really want to cross the river, there are only two ways, one is to return to Xing County, there is a bridge from Xing County to cross the river, and the second way is to find Chai Lao." ”

"Chai Lao?" The three of us were stunned for a moment and asked the old man, "Who is Chai Lao?" Does he have a way to get us across the river? ”

The old man said: "Chai Lao is an old man in our village, who has been rowing in the Yellow River for more than 20 years. However, in recent years, Chai Lao has also become old, and he no longer makes a living by crossing the river. If you really want to cross the river, go and ask him if he will carry you across the river. ”

When we heard this, we were astonished, and I said, "Didn't you say that this river cannot be crossed?" Whoever crosses the river will have no return, and we ...... yesterday But how could this old chai cross the river by boat? ”

"The Yellow River here can't be crossed by others, but Chai Lao can cross it, he didn't talk about the doorway, and we naturally don't know, anyway, if you don't want to go back to Xingxian County to cross the river, go to Chai Lao, he lives at the foot of that mountain." When the old man said this, he pointed to a big mountain not far away.

I glanced at Lao Liu, and he asked me, "Mr. Chen, what do you think?" ”

I thought about it for a while, so I said: "In this case, let's go find Chai Lao, if he is not willing to take us, then let's go back to Xingxian to cross the river!" ”

Lao Liu Tou also felt that this was very good, so we thanked the old man, and then went to look for the legendary old Chai who could cross the river safely according to the direction pointed by the old man......
