When I heard that the water would not stop, the situation in the water immediately changed, and people were anxious to spread the word and look for a solution.

"Did you hear that? The water doesn't stop! ”

"What can I do?"

"Tree! Someone is climbing a tree! The branches are so wide that people can stand! ”

"Hurry, hurry! Hurry up the tree! ”

The only seven vines were quickly pulled by the seven men, and more and more people joined the scramble.

The boy who was pushed down in the water by the blackbeard man was thin and weak, far less than the few men who were holding the vines, only to see him standing in the water and staring viciously at the crowd of robbers, and then pulling the corners of his mouth and smiling a little cruelly.

"Don't do that, maybe it's just a test!" The boy in the water adjusted his mood and shouted worriedly, showing an expression of "I think about you".

"Test? What test? Carnival? ”

"I think I heard that there is a mysterious grand prize this year!"

"Yes, yes, every year at the carnival there is a big prize!"

Test? What is the content of the test? The water gushing out of the ground and the towering trees form a natural drama stage, and at this moment, a seed of performance is rooted in everyone's hearts.

Hearing that there would be a grand prize, the man in red standing under the tree showed greedy eyes, silently took two steps back, and moved away from the big tree.

The black-bearded man, who had climbed halfway through the vine, listened to the sound below, and a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes, and he stopped in place to think about something, probably ashamed of his rough movements.

The man who fell into the water continued: "This water is only up to the waist now, maybe at most it rises to the chest, and we can neither contact the person in charge nor the rescue now, don't you think it's strange?" ”

"He's right, so many people are in the water, what are we afraid of! Is it possible that we all want to die here? ”

"The water quality is much better than the water you usually drink, and it is obvious that someone prepared it in advance! Generous! ”

The two who had just grabbed the vine heard the discussion of the others, and received the eyes of the others, so they lowered their heads and put down the vine in their hands.

Since it is a performance, someone is destined to play the harlequin, and if no one wants to play this role, the person who is unfortunately condemned by everyone on the high stage will be the harlequin tonight.

The black-bearded man who stopped in the middle of the road slowly let go of the vine and returned to the water, walked up to the man who fell into the water, and said, "I was wrong just now, you weren't hurt!" I apologize to you and hope you can forgive me. ”

"It's okay, it's okay, it's understandable that it's urgent." The boy scratched his head and graciously accepted the apology.

The yellow, short-sleeved man who climbed the tree first led the girl up without saying a word.

There was also a man in black who had grabbed the vine and was climbing up, and the man with the black beard shouted at them, "They said it's okay down there, you guys come down quickly!" ”

The man in black turned his head to look at the boy in the water and asked, "How do you know it's okay?" If the water doesn't stop at all, who will be responsible? ”

People looked at the boy in the water, with doubts in their eyes, looking for an explanation.

Facing everyone's inquiring eyes, the young man who fell into the water took half a step back and said aggrievedly: "Even if it is ...... Even if the water doesn't stop, let the ladies go up first and give up a safe spot to the ladies. ”

"I agree with him that the weak should go up first." The blackbearded man immediately stood in front of the boy in the water, supporting the boy.

Where Blackbeard couldn't see, the boy smiled mockingly.

People turned their eyes to the man in black and shouted: "Even if there is danger, you should give up a safe place to the weak, do you still have a conscience?" ”

"In these days, how can there be people who don't have any public morality at all?"

"It's a shame to live in the same land with such people!"

The man in black came down from the tree with anger and handed the vine in his hand to the little girl who spoke, "The vine is for you, come!" Crawl! I'm standing here today watching you climb! ”

The little girl's face was red and her ears were red, and she refused to take the vine for a long time.

"The opportunity is given to you, what can't you beep yourself? With such a wide branch, your eye can't stand down people? Is it a problem of not having enough location? ”

The man in black continued angrily: "It takes at least five minutes for a person to climb up, and time waits for no one!" A bunch of fools! I'm too lazy to tell you! Waste my time! ”

After speaking, the man in black grabbed the vine and continued to climb up.

"He seems to be right, you see the branches are so wide, let's all go up and stand down!"

"Look, is the water level rising again?"

The water rose another inch.

People look at each other, want to get a response from each other's eyes, and are eager to know what will happen next? What should be done now?

"If this is not a show, the water will not stop, and if we stay in the water and do nothing, we will only be greeted by ...... death.

Death is a strange and distant word for this group of people who look only twenty years old.

"Cloud, why don't they come up soon?" Su Nuannuan was so anxious that she couldn't wait to jump down and tell them that the water wouldn't stop! Pull them up quickly.

She leaned on the edge of the branch and looked down, suddenly suspicious of what she had just determined, "Is this really a show?" ”

"Cloud, do you know anything?"

I didn't know how to explain to her the things of night and day, death and rebirth, and I wished that the idea of "performing on the water" was true.

However, having played all the roles, I understand that "water performance" is just a piece of cloth, a hope that has no possibility.

The scene below has happened countless times, and the only thing that has changed is that I am a high-up bystander at this moment.

It turns out that being a bystander is both calm and happy, and I can't help but wonder, what have I been doing before?

I guess, the boy who fell into the water remembered what had happened before, as I did, what should I do to save his poor acting skills? Or should I praise him for his hard work?

From the moment the monster learned that there were no children in this world, I was convinced that it was a game with no future.

Since it's a game, and since everyone who dies can be completely reborn, what's the point of their life and death?

Seeing them struggling and arguing over meaningless things makes my heart happier and happier I am!

I covered my right eye, trying to restrain the sudden excitement, and the only reason that left me could tell me was that this was not what a normal person should think.

The person who was still holding the vine in his hand under the tree, his eyes changed from dodging to firm, and his heart was horizontal, pulling the vine and continuing to climb up. Seeing this, the people standing on the side with empty hands were anxious, and they surrounded one after another, wanting to compete for the vines and the opportunity to go up the tree a moment earlier, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.

"Don't rob everyone! Don't worry, everyone! ”

The man in warm yellow short sleeves stood on the first branch and motioned to the crowd below to calm down, "Everyone, calm down, listen to me!" ”

"Now the water level is still rising, I don't know when it will stop, we can't ask for help, we can only rely on ourselves!

The water is about to rise to the chest, and the time is of the essence!

Those who have climbing experience and sufficient physical strength will climb up with those who are not physically strong and in urgent need of rest! Tall man is good at swimmer mat back!

As long as we all work together, we will be able to survive this night safely! ”

After saying that, the man with warm yellow short sleeves pulled the vine and jumped into the water again, and continued to climb up with a petite girl.

People remember that this man in yellow short sleeves was the first to climb the tree with a man, and his words can be believed.

"What he said is reasonable, unlike the man in black just now, it's useless for us to crowd here, it's better to let those who can climb go up first with those who can't stand on the water!"

"It's time urgent, we have to get more people up first!"

"I don't know if anyone who can climb will take us up?"

"I used to climb trees a lot, and my strength was very strong, and you are weak, so I'll take you up first!" The blackbearded man spoke up decisively, wanting to take the weak overboard boy with him.

"Thank you! I'm a little heavy, I'm sorry for you. The boy in the water said embarrassedly.

"That's as it should be!" The blackbearded man patted his chest, indicating that he had strength!

With a more reasonable arrangement, coupled with the fact that the water surface was still safe at this time, or because of the quality of the actors, people no longer competed for vines, and spontaneously handed over the vines to those who could climb and took the infirm to go up first.

There are also people looking for other solutions, "You go first, I will swim, and if the water continues to rise, I will pull the vines and float on the water." ”

"It's still good for you, but it's not a solution!"

"Let's take one step at a time!"

At eight o'clock, someone gradually climbed to the fourth branch.

"The top, the top is still free!" The red-haired young man with better physical strength stood on the fourth branch, looking up at me and Su Nuannuan.

"Hey! Can you hear ME? How did you get there? ”

"Look at that girl with a vine in her hand!" The long-haired beauty with good eyesight saw the vine in my hand.

The long-haired girl continued: "Beauty! You put down the vine in your hand! The water is still rising below, and there is nowhere for everyone to go! ”

"Why haven't they moved? Can't you hear it? I'll shout! The red-haired man was obviously a little impatient, "Girl, there are many people down there who are physically exhausted, you can put down the vines and let us go up!" ”

"Why do these two little girls look like they're doing it on purpose?" The long-haired girl next to the red-haired man's portrait grumbled.

"I think I've seen them, they've been climbing for a long time, when the water is just on their feet!" The long-haired girl does have good eyesight.

"They climb so high! I also put away the vines, obviously I don't want anyone else to go up! This is also too selfish! Another short-haired girl, who was resting on the fourth branch, gasped and condemned.

"They crawled early in the morning? Do they know that the water won't stop? The red-haired man said in a very unkind tone: "No, I said that you two little girls, you knew that the water would not stop!" Why not tell us? I've never seen you so selfish! ”

"Hey! Everyone! We climbed up here and saw that there were still people on it! They also put away the vines and didn't let us go up! Tell me, how can there be such a person? The short-haired girl shouted downward.

Immediately there was a burst of scolding from below, and I don't know if they had a place to vent their accumulated emotions, or if they wanted to force me to put the vines down.

"Knowing people and knowing faces but not hearts, see who dares to ask them in the future! The heart is so vicious! Whoever marries is unlucky! ”

"We are tired and tired from below, bring people up, and they are good, run to the top and sit and watch the play! What kind of people are these! ”

"Trash! The garbage of society! Don't know how parents teach? ”

"The upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, I don't think her family is a good person!"

Parents? Family? Is it real that the thing that remains in the memory and gradually blurs? Leaning against the trunk of the tree, I pondered these questions, and at the same time thought: these are the few sentences that these people go back and forth every time, and the lines of the script are nothing more than that.

I turned my head to look at Su Nuannuan, who was trembling slightly, she seemed to have something to say.

"This branch seems to be able to stand still."

Su Nuannuan didn't point the finger at me like everyone else, nor did she feel "disappointed" in me. This makes me a little suspicious that Su Nuannuan is a "normal person".

Su Nuannuan's eyes looked at me became complicated, with gratitude, confusion and fear, and finally turned into silence.

I really like this look, I look like a person who understands and knows that I can't do anything. Asking her for help may be the right choice.

It's not time yet, nine o'clock, after nine o'clock, everything will change.

The black-bearded man, the boy in the water, and the man in red stood on the third branch, the man in black was on the second branch, and the man with yellow short-sleeves was on the first branch, and the water level slowly rose above the adult man's chin.

"Oh no, the water is going to run through your mouth!" The man in the yellow short sleeve put down the person on his back, and it was too late to go down and bring people up.

"Who's going to save me? I can't swim! The people who didn't have time to climb the tree screamed in horror.

"Quick, hold the vine!"

The man in the yellow short sleeve threw the vines from the tree into the water, one by two, someone pulled the vine, and someone pulled the vine.

The vine, though sturdy, could not bear to toss like this, and soon broke off from the tree, and the man who pulled the vine leaned back, screaming in fear.

Fortunately, the man with the yellow short-sleeved and several other strong men pulled the vine together, and when everyone was showing joy and feeling that they had been saved.

The first branch snapped, and the heavy branch quickly sank to the bottom under the horrified gaze of everyone.

The branches that touched the ground disappeared like foam, and the people on the branches and the people pulling the vines quickly lost their voices and were drowned in the clear water of the lake.

Everything came unexpectedly, and the people who called for everyone to work together to get through the difficult time have closed their eyes forever.

The surface of the water is clear and calm, reflecting everyone's face, silently taking life after life.

Death befell the city in the blink of an eye.
