Lao Gu pulled Hang Shikai into the inner room, closed the door, and whispered: "Brother Hang, I know what you mean, but if you continue to talk to him like this, it will not be the right way, and you will definitely not be able to do it." ”

"I'm not wrong, I'm going to cut his throat to death, make him make a fool of himself, and finish up in Xiaohewan Village."

"We're going to get the money and the watch, is that the goal? If you stay the course, you won't be able to achieve this goal. ”

"So what do you say?"

"I have an idea, we will force him to agree to his conditions first, and then put forward our conditions, asking him to promise us to change people."

"Substitutions? For whom? ”

"Me."

"You?"

"Yes, I'm bolder than you, I'll go for you, you can't stay up all night, I'm commonplace. Don't be surprised, for you I can stick a knife in both sides, my requirements are not high, that is, the money is divided equally, and the watch belongs to you. ”

Hang Shikai stared at him.

"Don't look at me like this, you're doubting me, whatever you think, I'm just a mind, just to help you, don't lose this breath."

Hang Shikai looked at the ceiling: "You said, that house is very strong, no matter how big the water is, it can't be washed?" ”

"I personally participated in the construction of that house, and the foundation is very solid, and I believe it will not collapse."

"Have you ever seen a flood bigger than this year?"

"Of course, I have seen that the flood also washed a lot of fish onto the road. Many people in the village went to arrest it. ”

"After the flood, what about the bridge, as stable as Mount Tai?"

"Nothing."

"I'll just listen to you."

"You promised?"

"No problem, let's go."

"Okay?"

"Promise him."

The two came out. Lao Gu asked first: "We promised your way, but we want to change people." ”

Xing Yi was surprised: "Replacement? Who? ”

Lao Gu raised his head and said, "I." ”

Afraid that Hang Shikai would rush to answer, the big slap pressed him on the shoulder.

Xing Yi didn't expect this change, thinking that this old Gu also saw the money, and he wanted to compete with Hang Shikai regardless of his face. Pointing to Hang Shikai and said: "The two of you have discussed, it's not okay to change you, but I want to listen to Hang Shikai himself, and I must have a clear statement, admitting that he is too timid to go, and he agrees to change you for fear that his life will be swallowed up by the big river." ”

Lao Gu said: "Don't embarrass people. Don't you want to bet that the foundation of the house is not strong, I personally participated in the construction of it, and I will see with my own eyes how it was crushed. ”

Team Leader Tian couldn't think through this change, and Xing Yi's reply made him even more incomprehensible, so he only looked at Xing Yi with a puzzled look.

Xing Yi scratched his hair twice and said, "Just ask him to say this, there are only a few people in this room, and he really can't lose face, so he really can't afford to lose?" ”

What Lao Gu wanted to say, Hang Shikai couldn't help it, stepped forward, and said loudly: "You, you want to see my jokes, you want to get along with me, and you want to force me to go to a dead end?" Come, Lao Tzu will fulfill you. ”

Lao Gu wanted to block it again, but he pushed him away: "Find me a flashlight and a raincoat." ”

Lao Gu shook his head while giving him a flashlight and helping him put on a raincoat.

Yin Tianshun followed the work and found the red umbrella: "And your umbrella, bring it too." ”

The door opened, Hang Shikai stood at the door, looked at the sky, looked into the distance, turned around and stared at Xing Yi fiercely: "Don't play tricks anymore." ”

He turned to Lao Gu and Tian again: "You all keep an eye on me, don't let him run away." ”

Lao Gu raised his hand: "The money and watch are all here, are you afraid that he will run away?" ”

He stared at Lao Gu's hand, wrapped his raincoat tightly, and turned to burrow into the rain.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the water on the eaves was rattling.

Lao Gu's lover and daughter, Yin Tianshun's wife and children went to sleep, and there were only four men left in the outhouse.

Xing Yi was casual on the surface, but he was a little nervous in his heart, so Hang Shikai was really angry and stupid, staying in the house and not coming out, so what should he do next?

Xing Yi approached Team Leader Tian and said in a voice that only he could hear: "Gambling is gambling, but I'm still very worried, you are the team leader, you have to care about the safety of everyone here, you'd better find a way to inform him, once you find out that there is danger, run out quickly, don't stay in the house." ”

Team Leader Tian said: "Then he will be considered a loser." ”

Xing Yi said: "It's not a loss, within ten meters of the house, it belongs to Yin Tianshun's family." are all within the effective range. He and I came by car all the way, and if there were really three mistakes in Xiaohewan, then I can't explain it. ”

Team Leader Tian nodded, put on his raincoat and ran away, came back after more than ten minutes, took off his raincoat, found a dry towel to wipe his hair and neck, didn't say anything, just smiled mysteriously at Xing Yi.

Time flies, and the time limit is just around the corner.

Everyone listened carefully, and in addition to the roaring rain, they also heard a whining sound, which quickly moved from far to near, like thousands of cows running all the way in a crowd, whistling past the edge of the village.

The eyes of the people in the room were as big as copper bells, and they were all stunned. A few minutes passed, Team Leader Tian and Lao Gu went out together with rain gear and flashlights, and came back in a moment, Team Leader Tian rushed ahead, looked at Xing Yi, his eyes flashed, and his voice trembled: "The bridge, it's gone, the house is also collapsed......"

Xing Yi hurriedly asked, "What about Hang Shikai?" Where is he? ”

Team leader Tian said: "He has left the house, he is fine." ”

When the sky was bright and the rain became lighter, people ran to the river to see, half of the two houses were left, and the other half was washed away by the water, and then went to see the big stone bridge, and there was no trace of it, only two half-cut piers were left on the water, and on the river surface almost level with the ground, the muddy waves carried a lot of debris, rolling, roaring, rushing downstream, making a deafening sound all the way.

The rain stopped, and more people came to Lao Gu's house.

Yin Tianshun and his wife also came, the woman's face was blue and black, her knees were bent, and her face couldn't tell whether it was water or tears, and the man came to Xing Yi with heavy steps, didn't speak, knelt down with a plop, and kowtowed.

Xing Yi hurriedly bent down and helped him up with both hands.

Yin Tianshun said with a crying voice: "I really don't know how to thank you, great benefactor, it was you who saved my family's life." ”

Xing Yi said: "Don't talk about this, the house can be rebuilt if it collapses, and there is only one life for people, as long as the family is fine." ”

Lao Gu came with a few villagers, surrounded Xing Yi, took his hand and shook it vigorously.

"You're so godly, you're amazing......"

"Yes, if it weren't for you, something would have happened to our Xiaohewan Village today......

Lao Gu remembered the bet and shouted: "Hang Shikai, this time it's your turn, you lose, come and kowtow, start with us." ”

"Brother Hang!"

"Xiao Hang!"

There was no promise.

Yin Tianshun said: "Will you go to his uncle?" ”

Lao Gu said: "It's possible, I'll go and see." ”

Lao Gu went for a while and came back in a hurry.

Team Leader Tian hurriedly asked, "Have you seen someone?" ”

Lao Gu replied: "I saw his uncle, and said that Hang Shikai was still there just now, and he didn't know where he went all of a sudden." ”

"Did you say that the 1,000 yuan that his nephew lost in a bet with others should be taken out from him first?"

"I said, people's attitude is very clear, there is no money, and they also said, you are joking over there, and I am not present, how do I know if what you said is true or false?"

"I didn't expect him to be such a person, this time it's okay, people want to scold us for talking in Xiaohewan Village, not counting, not calling people."

"What a person from Xiaohewan Village, he wasn't in the first place, an impostor."
