C33 Locked Back Home
C33 Locked Back Home
Three women, a little girl, and a little boy were sitting on the boat. They were probably going to town to play together.
The small wooden boat was not big. Four adults and two children were crowded.
When the boat sailed to the middle of the river, there was a gust of wind. Old Man Su, who was ferrying the boat, instinctively tightened his grip on the rope. However, this rope had not been changed for many years. It had been exposed to the wind and rain. It had long been damaged beyond repair. With such a fierce pull, with a poof, it broke.
That old man Su didn't notice at all. His body staggered, and with a plop, he fell into the river.
When the few people on the boat saw that old man Su fell into the river, they instinctively wanted to pull him. This time, it was bad. The small wooden boat that ate water was already seriously damaged. With this tilt, with a bang, the three women and two children were immediately covered in the river.
"Hei Tan, save them!" Yang Hsingchen roared and threw away a big bag and a big gunny sack in his hand. At the same time, he put his phone and other things into the Ring Space as soon as possible. Then he jumped down with a splash.
Although the Hei Tan's swimming speed was fast enough, Yang Hsingchen had the Genuine Qi in his body. Therefore, his speed was not just a little bit faster than the Hei Tan. Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Like an arrow, he swam to the middle of the river in no time.
Most of the children in the mountain village knew how to swim. This time, not only did the little girl and the little boy float to the surface, but they also knew how to swim. Still want to pull each mom. But because the two of them were too young, not only could they not pull adults, but also adults. On the contrary, he choked a few times.
Although Old Man Su knew how to drink water, he was, after all, in his sixties. His physical strength was not as good as before. He grabbed the nearest woman beside him and wanted to bring her ashore. However, the person who fell into the water grabbed onto something that he would never let go. The old man was tightly held by the woman's hands. He almost drowned.
Old Man Su could not be bothered to save him anymore. He just wanted to get out of here as soon as possible. But this woman was like an octopus, clinging tightly to old man Su. With this struggle, the two of them drank quite a bit of water.
After Yang Hsingchen swam, he used both hands to turn the boat over and correct it. Then he grabbed the bow of the boat with one hand and picked it up like a gourd with the other. He caught the person who fell into the water and threw him onto the boat with ease. Moreover, his grip was very precise. The person who had been thrown into the boat... No one was injured because of this.
When they arrived at Old Man Su and the woman's place, Yang Hsingchen simply threw both of them onto the boat at the same time.
"Awoo!" Only at this time did the Hei Tan swim over, as if it was dissatisfied with Yang Hsingchen saving them too quickly.
"Haha, I'll give you a mission. You and I will push them to the shore." Yang Hsingchen smiled and instructed the Hei Tan.
Due to the timely rescue, the few people on the ship only choked a few mouthfuls of water. It was not a big deal. After coughing for a while, they recovered their senses. Only then did they notice that the person who saved them was Yang Hsingchen.
There were two big surnames in Paleo-immortal Village. One was surnamed Yang, which was Yang Hsingchen's family. Originally, there were hundreds of families, but in these few years, half of them had moved out. Now, there were only about fifty families left.
There was another big surname, which was the family of the old ferryman, whose surname was Su. Originally, there were seventy to eighty families, but now, there were only about thirty families left.
The young and strong families that stayed basically all went out to work. So when they saw Yang Hsingchen coming back midway, the three old ladies who were rescued were immediately filled with curiosity. They also forgot about the matter of almost drowning just now, so they immediately asked one question at a time.
"Uncle Chen, you didn't come back for the Spring Festival, so why did you come back now?" An old woman asked curiously.
Although Yang Hsingchen was young, whether it was the Yang family or the Su family, he had a higher status than the average family. Although these old women were in their thirties or forties, they still had to call him uncle.
"Me? I came back to farm. I drifted for a few years and felt that the air at home was still fresh, so I came back." Yang Hsingchen put one hand on the side of the boat and rowed with the other, swimming towards the shore.
"You child, everyone else is heading towards the city. And you run back. Why are you getting more and more useless? If I were ten years younger, I wouldn't be here to carry you. In a month, I only have a pitiful 100 yuan. If I don't do it well, I might even lose my life. I really can't do this job." Old Man Su took off his shirt and complained while squeezing the water.
"Liu, hold on for a few more days. I'll ask my friend to build a bridge. Then we'll build the road to town. Isn't there a saying that if you want to be rich, you must first build the road! "
After saying that, they had already reached the shore. Yang Hsingchen carried the two children to the shore with one hand, and she stepped on the horse's head to the shore.
"Hsingchen, what did you say just now? Your friend is willing to help our village repair the road? That would cost a lot of money. " Old Man Su had a look of disbelief.
"Hehe, my friend is a big boss, and he has a very good relationship with me. I believe he will give me face."
"Tsk, Uncle Chen, you can brag. If you really have a friend who is the boss, then do you still need to go home and farm? Hahaha... " The three old ladies ignored the old man and the young man and generously took off their jacket and jacket to squeeze the water. While they were enjoying themselves.
Yang Hsingchen was too lazy to waste time with them. He took out two candies from his bag and stuffed them into the two children's hands. After tying the broken rope for Old Man Su, he carried a big bag and a big sack and crossed them with the Hei Tan.
As they walked along the village path, they would greet the villagers from time to time. They saw Yang Hsingchen dressed in wet clothes and holding a half-broken big bag in one hand. He was carrying a sack in the other. The clothes he was wearing were very ordinary, as if he had returned to his hometown. When some people talked to him, they had more meaning in their words.
He had just greeted an older brother with the surname Su. He had not even walked a few steps when he met his family's third wife in front of him.
"Third Sister-in-law, are you busy?" Yang Hsingchen greeted her with a smile.
"Ah, isn't this the only university student in our village, the cultured and ambitious Boss Yang? Have you been a boss for a long time? Are you not used to being a small wooden boat? How is it? Did you drop your bank card money, cash, or anything like that in the river? If you did, tell Second Sister-in-law! Although your eldest nephew has only studied for a few years, he is a bit rigid. But his water nature is very good. You just dropped ten cards and ten thousand hundred yuan notes. He won't get one less."
The fifty-year-old third sister-in-law was wearing tattered clothes. She was extremely poor, but she sneered at Yang Hsingchen with a mocking expression.
