At this time, his great-great-grandfather couldn't care about anything else. He used all his strength to play with the oars. His eyes were dark, and besides the sound of water, there was the sound of scratching. It was terrifying.
He didn't know how long he rowed the boat for, but in the end, a few faint lights appeared in front of him. They should be from a village by the river bank.
Looking at the needle-nose-sized lights in the distance, his great-great-grandfather felt that they were almost at the shore. Just as he was about to heave a sigh of relief, the old man who was squatting by his feet and shivering shouted in panic,"Master Blessing, Master Blessing, the boat…the boat is leaking."”
When his great-great-grandfather heard this, he immediately turned pale with fright. He had been so focused on rowing the boat that he did not pay attention to the situation on the boat. At this time, he realized that the water in the boat had already soaked the soles of his shoes. When he looked into the cabin, the water could reach his ankles.
His great-great-grandfather knew that it was not a coincidence that the ship was leaking at this time. It was the Dragon King who did not give him face. He quickly shouted to the old man," Yes, there's a wooden basin in the cabin. Take the basin and scoop the water into the river. When we reach the shore, we won't be afraid."”
As soon as my great-great-grandfather finished speaking, the scratching sounds in the coffin became more and more urgent, as if the thing inside was very dissatisfied with my great-great-grandfather's words and wanted to break out of the coffin. At this time, the river water also moved, like a rising tide, wave after wave, rising and falling, causing the boat to be like a small boat in the wind and waves, rising and falling on the waves.
My great-great-grandfather has been ferrying on the Yellow River for five or six years. This is the first time he has encountered such a situation. Needless to say, he was afraid. At this moment, he regretted it to death. He regretted taking on the old man's business.
When a person encounters danger, there will sometimes be the phenomenon of potential erupting. I won't say much about this. There are many cases.
This old man and my great-great-grandfather might be showing signs of their potential exploding at this moment. In order to survive, they don't know what fear is. Great-great-grandfather faced the wind and waves and shouted to himself, roaring, roaring, At this time, the old man ran into the cabin and found a wooden basin. He scooped out water from the cabin.
With the two of them working together, the boat sailed forward for a while. The lights on the river bank changed from needle-like to green beans, and they were getting closer and closer to the shore.
At this time, great-great-grandfather thought that he could get through this disaster, but he did not expect that the speed of the water in the cabin was getting faster and faster. At first, the old man could still handle it, but in the end, he scooped one basin into three basins and could not make ends meet.
During the next meal, the boat was completely submerged by the river. They were about to reach the shore, but they had failed at this critical moment. My great-great-grandfather was anxious, angry, and regretful. However, now was not the time to be calculative. His life was more important. He hurriedly called out to the old man and directly abandoned the boat and jumped into the river.
The old man was dumbfounded. He could no longer see the boat. The river water had reached his waist. Only the top of his son's coffin and the canopy of the boat were still exposed on the water, but it would not last long.
The old man threw away the wooden basin in his hand and climbed up to the top of the coffin, trembling. Then, he leaned on the top of the coffin and shouted for help. It turned out that not only was the old man not a local, but he was also a landlubber.
At this time, his great-great-grandfather had already swam far away and was about to reach the river bank. However, he did not expect the old man to not know how to swim. Hearing the old man's cry for help, he turned around and saw the old man lying on the coffin and floating downstream.
His great-great-grandfather couldn't bear to leave him alone. Relying on his good swimming skills, he gritted his teeth and chased after him.
My great-great-grandfather was only twenty years old at that time. He was young and strong. With the help of swimming in the water, he quickly caught up with the coffin.
When he arrived in front of the coffin, he found that there were countless fish under the coffin. Just looking at it made his scalp tingle.
Logically speaking, this kind of solid coffin would not float if thrown into the river. Moreover, there was an old man pressing on the top of the coffin, so it should have sunk long ago. It was actually these fish that forcefully held the coffin up to the surface of the water. Moreover, those fish seemed to have gone crazy, using their mouths to gnaw on the coffin board, making hissing sounds. It was extremely terrifying.
At this time, great-great-grandfather seemed to understand something. The scratching sound in the coffin earlier was actually made by the fish gnawing on the coffin board. It sounded like the sound of hands scratching the coffin board.
My great-great-grandfather believed that the Dragon King had ordered the fish to gnaw on the coffin board. His boat must have been gnawed by the fish.
The great-great-grandfather drove the fish away and came to the coffin. He wanted to pull the old man down from the coffin. This shipwreck was because of this unlucky coffin. If the old man still held it, the Dragon King would definitely sink into the river with him. At that time, even the gods would not be able to save the old man's life.
Just as my great-great-grandfather was about to reach out to pull the old man, the school of fish under the coffin suddenly changed. It was as if they had received a great shock. In an instant, they scattered in all directions without any reason, causing my great-great-grandfather to feel pain all over his body. Moreover, the school of fish rushed him away from the coffin.
By the time my great-great-grandfather stabilized himself in the water, the school of fish had already dispersed. Only a few scattered fish were still fleeing in all directions. He was washed away by the school of fish and was five or six meters away from the coffin. Moreover, the coffin was still floating downstream. My great-great-grandfather wanted to swim over to save the old man.
However, at this moment, a loud bang came from under the coffin, as if the coffin had hit a mine. The entire coffin, together with the old man on it, suddenly rose more than two feet above the water. It was extremely terrifying. At the same time, my great-great-grandfather clearly saw a large black shadow under the coffin. It was like a small mountain, much larger than his own canoe. The coffin was sent flying by its head.
His great-great-grandfather was so frightened that his face turned pale. He wanted to turn around and swim up the river bank, but when he thought of that poor old man, he felt that if he left him alone, he would not be able to live up to his conscience, so he shouted in a trembling voice," Big Ye, Dragon…Dragon King is here. Throw away the longevity prescription…"
I don't know if the old man heard my great-great-grandfather's risky shout, but the old man and the coffin did separate after falling into the water. The coffin plunged into the water with its head facing down, while the old man fell into a body of water closer to my great-great-grandfather. He flopped in the water for a few times and stopped moving.
Seeing this, his great-great-grandfather swam over bravely. Fortunately, the Dragon King's target was not them. At this time, he had already chased after the big coffin and swam downstream.
His great-great-grandfather dived into the water and touched the old man. He held the old man's armpit with one hand from behind and pulled the old man's head out of the water. The old man choked and was frightened, almost dumbfounded.
In the distance, the Dragon King was still holding the coffin. Although the rumbling sounds were getting further and further away, it was still extremely terrifying. To my great-great-grandfather, this moment was like a nightmare.
