Poor family mother and son

Chapter 521 Want?don't want?Do you want?

On the distant shore, the captain of the boat led a group of boatmen to kneel on the ground and kowtow to the crows in the middle of the river.

Ever since they dived, they have been swimming all the way to escape for their lives without daring to turn their heads back, since they couldn't take a look at what happened underwater.

After they landed, they hid in the bushes, not daring to light a fire, for fear of attracting the attention of the Meng family. They were wary of being run towards them when they saw the fire.
But I dare not go deep, because wild beasts often come and go in the mountains and forests at night.

I had no choice but to turn back and lie down in the grass by the river bank to peek.

They found that the crows did not chase them, but just circled and crowed around the cargo ship.

What is even more surprising is that the group of crows actually enveloped a space as large as three ships, and with their calls, crows from farther away gathered towards it.

"They are like a big bell!" Said a boatman.

"That's death knell, too!" said another boatman.

"To me, it looks like a grave!" An older boatman said with a trembling voice.

Then everyone fell silent.

Crows, the symbol of death, they are so gathered, what else can they be like if they are not like graves?
They didn't know what happened in that "tomb", but they saw that the "tomb" moved and left their boat.

However, the "grave mound" moved slowly, and it didn't go far away. On the contrary, they couldn't see anyone on the boat anymore.

This discovery made cold sweat run down their backs, and they almost lost their breath.

Could it be that the crows let them go, and the real target is the Meng family?

"Grandpa Crow God, Grandpa River God, grandpas of gods from all walks of life, the little old man is just helping people across the river to transport goods, these brothers are also poor people, we have never done anything harmful to nature..." The bow of the boat didn't care about others How to discuss, just kowtow and pray wholeheartedly.

I don't know if the pious prayers of the boat boss had any effect, or if there were really some gods appearing. They saw the "grave mound" formed by the crows staying on the water for a long time but stopped crowing.

Then, they seemed to vaguely see a white shadow jumping out of the water, and it seemed that they were still waving Bai Lian, but it disappeared after a flash.

Everyone rubbed their eyes violently and asked each other with their eyes: Did you see it?But no one dared to speak out.

When I wanted to see the "grave head" again, I saw the "grave head" disintegrated, and the crows scattered and flew away.

They felt that they were alive again, and they didn't dare to look at it any more, they just buried their heads and kowtowed non-stop.

The boss of the boat kept chanting: "Whether it's grievances or debts, the fairy grandpa will let the little people go, and the little people will pray for you sincerely, and promise not to do evil things at any time!"

After Mao Mao and Xiaobao returned to the water surface, they silently collected the dead crow's body and scattered feathers, and swam back to the shore silently.

On the shore, the men of the boat gang were running back while putting on their clothes. They had to row out all the hidden boats, and it was time to "lift" out all the cargo on the cargo ship.

Perhaps, there will be another fight. Those boats were let go before, but if they don't know what to do, they will be "planted" to the bottom of the river.

Shui Maomao sat on the ground, grabbed his trouser legs and wrung them dry. He didn't plan to move, he just waited here.

Just now, because I was worried, I jumped into the water to follow Xiaobao, and I was so tired.

Hou Ze swam back under the cargo ship to monitor the movement.

Shui Xiaomao ran all the way with his butt bare, and kept asking the other Mao Maos around him: "Who can lend me a pair of pants, I can't find them!"

In the end, none of the Mao Maos paid any attention to him, but Shui Da Mao still said: "A little brat, who is naked, who didn't come here? There are no girls around, so why be ashamed!"

Shui Xiaomao was about to cry: "I'm not ashamed, but mosquitoes bit me, my little Mao!"

Uh... oh!

Xiao Bao took off his pants to him.

Since joining Chu Qing, Chu Qing has always been dissatisfied with his open crotch pants, and had made drawstring boxer shorts early on. In all these years, he has never worn a short-nosed jacket that loosens when he runs around.

The crows have made great achievements today, but they have also lost something, and they need to be comforted.

Shui Xiaomao moved out many baskets of small fish and shrimp. It was hot, and the small fish and shrimp caught in the morning stink after noon.

This is Shui Xiaomao's daily work. The fish and shrimp caught in the river are screened out and the small ones are fed to the magpies while they are fresh. The rest are stored and fed to the crows at night.

Now, he snatched Shui Da Mao's calf-nosed jacket, waved and whistled to call the crow.

Xiaobao finally knew how Shui Xiaomao's white cloth strips came from.

*****************
After the river was quiet, the bow of the boat boldly took the boatmen back to the boat, and saw that there were only scattered feathers, dead crows, and overturned and smashed objects on the boat.

That scene was like a dark wind blowing through the underworld!

The boss of the boat felt that it would not be easy to survive today. Those Meng family members are gone. I am afraid that it is a misfortune rather than a blessing. The cargo on the boat must be unlucky.

He said: "Let's treat this trip as a waste of time and get everything on the boat to the shore. We can't be caught by those unlucky people and cause trouble!"

Most people agree that being alive is better than anything else, something that is not their own, and should not be greedy.

But there are also boatmen who hold different opinions:

"Boss, if we throw away the goods, won't the Meng family ask us for it?"

"We are frightened and escaping from death, why are we suffering for nothing?"

Someone else said:

"The goods in the three ships are all good things. I caught a glimpse when they were loading the ship. There are a lot of silk brocades, porcelain medicinal materials, tea and so on. If you just exchange two bags for money, it will be enough for people like us to spend several years. Why? don't want?"

"That's right, boss, we people may not have to suffer and suffer for the rest of our lives this time."

Having said that, many people were tempted.

Yes, they work so hard every day, and the wind and waves are enough to change their food and clothing. When encountering bad weather, they may feed their lives to the river fish.

If these few shipments save everyone from suffering, why not?
Many boatmen began to agree.

A few crows crowed from the far shore.

Everyone froze for a while, and then quieted down.

The boss of the boat stared at the crowd, thinking that they had healed their scars and forgotten the pain, and said, "If these goods are auspicious and easy to come, do you think the crows will come?

Those old crows, I have never seen so many in half my life, they must be sent by either the River God or the Crow God to punish the unrighteous, so don’t implicate yourself!

Everyone has a family and a mouth, so don’t be greedy for ill-gotten gains, think about it for your family! "

"But, but even if we don't want it, when the Meng family finds us, what shall we pay them?" Someone asked in a low voice.

This sentence reminded those who advocated swallowing the goods before: "Yes! Boss, if we sell these goods for money, we can take our wives and children to live in another place, so that they can't find us, and buy some more Haotian, even if he doesn't want to be rich, he can live comfortably."
