That day Yang Chi was lying on the back of the farm motorcycle, smelling the musty smell from the linoleum, he had no idea where the car was going.I feel a little motion sickness and want to vomit.Only then did he get scared, because his mouth was blocked and the vomit flowed back into his trachea, and he would choke to death. The agricultural motorcycle was parked in one place, and it was already dark when the linoleum was lifted.Yang Chi took a look and found that he had already left the county seat and arrived at the place where he really made a living: the countryside.The three kidnappers carried him into a house, which looked like a farmhouse, with a lot of straw piled inside.The black and strong young man tied Yang Chi up again with a flashlight, tied his hands and feet together, and warned, "Don't move around, there is no one here, and you can't save you if you move around." The fruit knife was taken away together.

The woman said: "What should I do?" The old farmer said: "Throw it into the river and forget it." The black and strong youth said: "Who will throw it? I don't want to kill people." The woman said: "I don't want to." The old farmer said: "We It has been exposed, and I have to find a way to deal with him. If I knew it, I would throw him in the movie theater. Beat the mother." As they spoke, the three people fell silent, and heard the roar of the agricultural motorcycle outside Sound, Yang Chi thought to himself, if you call him a big sister, you just throw me here?What if a stray dog ​​comes at night?

It was a hard few hours, the rain outside, the cottage pitch dark, it was impossible to see, and the rotten smell of straw was strong.Yang Chi moved his body, slithered a few times like a snake, bumped his head against the wall, snarled a few more times, felt his mouth touch something cold, and rubbed his face left and right, probably it was an iron rake. I dare not move.He thought of some methods, such as using an iron rake to grind the rope in his hand, and finding a nail to hook the cloth head out of his mouth, but he couldn't implement it. He just relied on the way of thinking of a science student and thought of an escape plan.In the end, the only thing he could do was meander to a relatively dry corner, feel a few mosquito bites on his legs, and gropely insert his body into the straw pile.He thought, there are many salesmen who died on the road, stabbed, drowned, and bullets, all of which have been heard, but he Yang Chi can't become a salesman who is bitten to death by mosquitoes, it will become a big hit in the industry. joke.

When it was daylight, I heard footsteps, and the woman came.She pulled Yang Chi out of the straw pile, pulled out the cloth from his mouth, Yang Chi let out a long gasp, and said, "Zhu Kang, I'll fuck you." "We're calling the hotel," the woman said. "Did he slip away? Or did he call the police?" "The phones are all cut off, and there's a flood," the woman said. The woman brought some porridge in an enamel cup.Yang Chi was thirsty and hungry, so she fed him and ate everything.After eating, the two sat in the farmhouse and stared blankly at each other.

Yang Chi said, "When are you going to throw me into the river?" The woman rolled her eyes and said, "You are so heavy, how can I throw you?" Yang Chi took advantage of the morning light to look at her face, and found that she was still young and not ugly, and the shirt she was wearing was covered by the rain. Wet and stuck to the body.Yang Chi closed his eyes, trying not to think too much, and asked, "Where are the other two?" "My father took the money and slipped away, and my brother took my mother up the mountain." "So it's your father and your brother." Yang Chi thought, that's great, your family is the safest as a kidnapper, you won't report on each other, and of course it's easy to catch.Ask again: "How many votes did you do?"

The woman shook her head and said, "It's our first time, and I don't want to do it again. My father is a gambler and owes a lot of money. We have nothing to do." People always use "no way" to explain their stupidity. "Why did you kidnap Zhu Kang? Zhu Kang is a poor man, his wife has divorced him, and his son doesn't want to call him dad." Yang Chi said. "We didn't know. He used to go to one of my sister's nightclubs, and he seemed to be quite rich. At first, we just wanted to get some money from Zhu Kang's pocket, but we didn't get much. My dad said Zhu Kang's The money was probably in the hotel. Then Zhu Kang woke up and asked us to ask you for money."

"So it was changed to kidnapping." "We have no kidnapping tickets." Yang Chi thought for a while and said, "Yes, you blackmailed Zhu Kang, and at the same time restricted my personal freedom. If these two things were discussed separately, you would not have kidnapped me." The woman couldn't understand what he was saying, at least it seemed to her that their crime was not that serious.Kidnapping will be shot, everyone knows that.The rain came down without warning.Looking over the woman's shoulder, Yang Chi saw that outside the farmhouse, the water had submerged all the ridges of the fields, turning into an even surface of yellow water with thousands of ripples dancing.There is still a dirt road paved with gravel, leading directly from the farmhouse to behind a forest, and it cannot be seen clearly in the distance.The water has gradually overflowed the dirt road, like a piece of soft chocolate is melting.The world is iron blue, from the time he left Daicheng until he arrived in Huaishui County, the world was this color.

Yang Chi said, "What if there is a flood?" The woman said: "Let's run. The government organizes everyone to go up the mountain. If the water is very strong, the armed police will drive the assault boat to rescue people. There are often floods here." "Does the cadre want a berm?" "Yes, every summer, there are people on the embankment. The masses have to organize it. But it's useless. The embankment should be broken. Many people don't want to farm anymore, and they would rather go out to work." The woman was stunned for a while, then said, " I'm working in a karaoke bar in the county town, not long ago. I might go to Guangdong in autumn, where there is a lot of money." After speaking, he looked at Yang Chi with some trepidation.Yang Chi didn't know what she meant, but later thought, maybe he felt embarrassed?In fact, there was no need for it. There were karaoke halls in the counties he visited, low-level entertainment places called nightclubs, and sometimes customers would bring pesticide salesmen there to relax and have some fun.However, the customer did not recommend that the pesticide salesman find a girl in the county, thinking that the goods were too bad.Yang Chi thought again, maybe her uneasiness was just a lack of confidence in her "good guy", who knows.

The woman stood up suddenly and looked down at Yang Chi condescendingly. He was startled, thinking she was about to make a move.Although the woman was empty-handed, there was a rake in the farmhouse, which was enough to kill him, and according to the forensic doctor, he was beaten to death by Zhu Bajie.The woman's left hand reached into her trouser pocket, Yang Chi thought, what would she pull out, a blade or something else.She really took out a fruit knife, the one Yang Chi brought, and handed it to her right hand.Yang Chi yelled: "No!" The woman smiled and said, "Are you scared?" She continued to draw with her left hand.

Yang Chi said: "Listen to me, it's wrong for you to kill me. It's not a big deal if you kidnap me here. If I go back to the police, the police won't even bother to talk to me. If you kill me, it's a big deal. This knife is not very sharp, it will take a long time to kill me, and you will get blood all over your body..." The woman said, "Why are you so nonsense? Oh, you sell pesticides." He took out Yang Chi's wallet. "This is yours. The ID card is in it, and the money was taken by my father." "Take it away." The woman opened the wallet and looked. There was a photo in the transparent plastic compartment.The young pesticide salesman hugged a four or five-year-old girl, elated, like a spring breeze. "This is your daughter?" Yang Chi didn't have the strength to explain further, he nodded in agreement, but on the other hand, he also thought, if he had a daughter, he wondered if it would arouse her compassion and spare his life.

The woman hesitated for a while, and said, "I left you here, but I saw the picture in the wallet, you have a daughter, if you die—" "Then she will become an orphan, and I don't have a wife." Yang Chi said, "Please help me." "You are so pitiful." The woman said, "There are not many good people like you who sell pesticides. They are all liars and perverts. I know it." Yang Chi explained weakly: "I belong to a state-owned enterprise, so I'm fine. At least I never sell fake pesticides." She stood up, threw the wallet in front of Yang Chi's eyes, unfolded the fruit knife, and threw it beside the wallet.She didn't intend to untie Yang Chi, but said: "I'm going to find my brother, you are not allowed to call the police, and don't follow me. The knife is on the ground, you find a way to cut the rope. When you go out, go straight Go east, the terrain is high, you can go all the way to the county seat. Go back and find your daughter, and don’t come to Huashui County again.” "Help me untie it." "I'm afraid you'll catch up and kill me." After the woman finished speaking, she wrapped herself with her arms and walked towards the woods on the dirt road that was about to be flooded.After she disappeared, the water flooded the dirt road, and the woods in the distance looked like the mangroves often seen in documentaries, with all the roots below the water level, the appearance of a tropical rainforest.Dark clouds overwhelmed the top, and I heard rumbling sounds in the distance, which seemed to come from the sky and seemed to come from the bottom of the water.Suddenly, Yang Chi was left alone again, the water was getting bigger and bigger, and the world he was in was shrinking.Yang Chi thought to himself, I have to go back to find my daughter, and in a few days later, she should go to America.And no one can tell exactly where he is on the earth at this moment, which latitude and longitude, which piece of land and which island.This is a place that doesn't exist.
It took Yang Chi several hours to untie the rope. The fruit knife was too small, and he couldn't pick it up with his back tied, and couldn't exert his strength.For a while he almost lost his patience, felt that the whole world owed him, and just wanted to kill him head on.Then he stood up, with the knife in his backhand, and hopped to the farmhouse gate, slipping the blade through the crack where it stuck.He put his tailbone against the handle of the knife, and repeatedly sharpened the rope on his wrist on the blade. Several times, the blade cut through the flesh, and he didn't stop.The water had already flooded the farmhouse.He let go of the knife, jumped to the wallet, picked it up in his mouth and placed it on the straw.The water level seems to be rising very fast, and the rain is too heavy. It seems that some place is releasing water.Yang Chi remembered that Xiao Su said that a dike break was terrible, and he had to climb up the roof or a tree and tie himself tightly to a big log.Yang Chi went back to the gate to grind the rope again, when suddenly his hand loosened, blood poured from his shoulder into his arm, his fingertips were hot and numb.Immediately afterwards, he cut the rope on his feet with a fruit knife, jumped a few times on the spot, and let himself move.The dirt road has disappeared, the muddy water is vast, and the floating objects on the surface of the water gradually increase, slowly flowing towards the east.Knowing that he couldn't go, Yang Chi found a wooden ladder, set it up, pocketed his ticket holder and fruit knife, and climbed up to the roof of the farmhouse. On the pitched roof he felt the tiles vibrate.The farmhouse is a brick and wood structure that doesn't look like it's going to fall down anytime soon.He put away the ladder, sat on the roof ridge, took off his shirt and wrung dry the wound binding his right wrist.The rain fell on the body, and a strong wind swept the water.Yang Chi felt very exciting, yes, it was amazing.He stood up very carefully, straightened his body on the ridge of the roof, spread his arms to keep his balance, and shouted: "Zhu Kang, old Bao, fuck you, you want to kill me. I can't kill you—" Guang He screamed a few more times with his arms stretched out. After venting, he looked around and saw the woods in the south, and a submerged village in the north. You can see many two-story houses, which shows that the local farmers are still rich.In the poorest places he has ever been to, farmers used adobe to build houses, which melted when they encountered water. Yang Chi had seen the town after the flood receded, with mud, drowned animals and settled garbage everywhere.The front and back doors of every house are left open to let the water pass through the house so that the house will not be washed away.The door panel was removed, and it was hung horizontally on the beam with a thick rope, and the pig stayed on the door panel.People came down from the mountain one after another, calmly cleaning up their homes.People don't seem to care about the floods, and some places are flooded this time of year.People like to gather by the river to watch the trees and dead pigs and cows in the rapids. Those who are brave can use a hook to salvage driftwood in the water, which is a small fortune.People are even happy to see the bridge collapsed and people washed away, and they happily help the old and the young to evacuate until the flood reaches their homes.Floods are like a drama that begins and ends, as it has been for thousands of years.When he stood on the roof of the farmhouse and saw the vast flood, he felt for a moment that it was not a disaster, but the flow of time, filled with the faces of countless people. Yang Chi was lying on the ridge of the roof, wondering if he had lost his mind, but he actually read history from the monotonous surface of the water.He opened his eyes and looked at the sky, the sky was iron-gray, and there were many faces floating there, all of them were people he knew.The Duobi Group headed by Minister Bao, and the Lover Group headed by Dai Dai.He suddenly felt relaxed. Although he didn't escape from death, at least he escaped disaster.This is the most tedious moment, waiting for death, if only there is a game console.He couldn't help but sang Yue opera, which was taught by his senior sister Shaoxing, and it was mainly used to describe the corrupt and boring university life.He hasn't sung it for a long time, but he still remembers the words: I was elated for a while, and then I was really hungry.At that time, he never thought that he would starve on the roof for two days and two nights. At night he was still sleeping on the roof, and the rain was still falling.Of course he didn't dream, as the saying goes in the Western saying "guerrillas don't dream", he slept too lightly, his mind was full of floods, in fact it was full of floods, but he couldn't see anything in the dark night.At dawn the next day, he stood up and took a deep breath. The water flooded the gate of the farmhouse, and he could wash his feet sitting on the eaves.Only half of the forest in the distance is left, and I thought it was a bush from a distance.In the village on the other side, the buildings have also become sparse, and most of them are submerged in the water.At this time, the flood seemed to be flowing slowly, but there were big waves, the wind was blowing from the southeast, and the rain stopped.Everything on the water, furniture, fences, straw, was still.After a while, he saw a dead pig stretched out, floating on the water like an inflatable toy.Here's everything we saw that morning. He felt that the roof was like a raft, trying to take him somewhere.The roof is stationary, of course, but it floats through some very peculiar times and spaces.When he was in college, he often climbed to the roof of the dormitory with his senior sister Shaoxing, watching the stars on summer nights, watching them all night, and sometimes taking advantage of no one to have sex or something, and then waiting for the dawn together with their arms around their shoulders, feeling clear-minded, like a god I am comforting myself.When it came to this, he thought, God is really desperate to use this method to clear the minds of countless victims, soldiers, small cadres on the embankment, and him, a pesticide dealer who strayed into the depths of the flood.Then he thought, not necessarily, some people are not clear-minded, such as Minister Bao and Zhu Kang, let them die again, they will still be the same as before, and they can't change.Thinking of this, he felt that he did not have a clear mind, and he failed the good intentions of nature. This afternoon, the water potential seemed to recede a little, and the clouds began to become colorful, with curves and light and shade. Sparkling, not so cloudy.Yang Chi had never admired clouds so carefully before, if it wasn't for hunger and thirst, he would rather stay on the roof for a while longer.When twilight fell, the sunset did not have time to appear, and everything sank into the solid darkness again. He felt very sorry, and also felt a little fear. He didn't know if he could still see the sun tomorrow. On this black raft, he Will it go crazy. Another day passed.In the morning, he was woken up by the crowing of a group of ducks, and someone shouted to him: "Hey, are you still alive?" Yang Chi opened his eyes and sat up, only to see a girl sitting in the bathtub, holding a clothespin in her hand. The pole acts as a pole, watching him from the water not far away, and a group of ducks are circling around the bathtub.Yang Chi asked feebly, "Where are you from?" The girl pointed to the village.Yang Chi said, "Is there anyone else in the village?" The girl said, "There are still seven or eight old people and children trapped on the second floor." Yang Chi said: "What are you doing here?" The girl said: "We have binoculars and saw you on the roof. My grandma said that if you stay there any longer you will die. Let me bring you some food." Chi said: "Thank you very much, take the risk, don't fall into the water." The girl said: "It doesn't matter, I can swim, the water has receded. I guess the assault boat of the armed police will come today. Our place is low. If there is a flood, it will be flooded, and the armed police will definitely find this place." Yang Chi said, "Don't explain, just give me something to eat!" The girl rowed the bathtub close to the roof, gave Yang Chi a water bottle, and gave him a pack of biscuits.Yang Chi swallowed it all, and said to the girl, "Do you have anything to eat?" The girl said, "There is more. Do you have enough?" Yang Chi said, "I want to light a fire and roast a duck. The girl said, "Hey, you are so mean. Let me give you a salted duck egg." As she spoke, she took out a salted duck egg from her pocket and handed it to Yang Chi.Yang Chi said: "You are really a good person. I am a pesticide seller. I can give you a lot of pesticides if you want them in the future." The girl said, "I don't want pesticides. My family raises ducks and hates pesticides the most." Yang Chi swallowed Duck said: "Yes, pesticides are the most annoying, and I don't even want to sell pesticides." The girl rowed away in the tub.Yang Chi thought to himself, this girl is so cute, it is beyond cute to describe, but holy, like a god of revelation.But this god actually raises ducks and sits in the bathtub. What does that mean?Later, I thought, I seemed to have promised God that I would no longer sell pesticides, and that was the deal.If he can get out alive, he will never be exposed to pesticides in this life. That afternoon, Yang Chi heard the roar of the motor of the assault boat, and four armed police soldiers came driving the boat.Yang Chi stood up tremblingly, waved to them, crossed his arms and swung vigorously, accidentally fell off the roof, fell into the water and took a few sips.A young soldier wearing a life jacket jumped into the water to catch Yang Chi without hesitation. Yang Chi, who could swim, floated up by himself, vomited a mouthful of dirty water, and said to the armed police soldiers, "There are still people in the village over there." Said: "The lifeboat has already passed by, let's go back first." Yang Chi said: "Let's go there too, there are still many people on board." The original intention was to see the girl raising ducks again.The soldiers comforted him and said, "Don't worry, we'll send you to the ambulance station for inspection first. You drank water just now, and you'll get dysentery." Yang Chi thought, fuck it, it's over.Asked again how far the disaster was, the young soldier said sadly: The gap is closed, and some of our comrades died. On the Zodiac, Yang Chi was wrapped in the raincoat given to him by the soldiers, and suddenly felt very cold, trembling and speechless.No one spoke.After a while he took out the wallet in his trouser pocket, opened it, poured out the water, and saw Dai Dai in the photo.In the two days and two nights on the roof, he didn't see a picture of the child once, and felt terrified, as if he would lose her immediately if he saw it.Now he opened the wallet, knowing very well that the child was gone.He said to Dai Dai: I really don't know how to explain it to you, please recite it.
