Chapter 1039 I am Gou Sheng
Just as tensions were running high between the two sides, a commotion suddenly broke out on the shore.
"Gousheng, Gousheng, is that you?"
A rough male voice rang out.
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Gou Sheng excitedly exclaimed:
"Dad, it's me, it's Gousheng!"
I finally found you all, waaaaaah~
When family members meet, their eyes are filled with tears.
Dog-Sheng's father pushed through the crowd and arrived at the water's edge, only to discover the unusual situation.
He was a sturdy farmer, and upon seeing this, he shouted back:
"Guys from Wangjia Village, come quick! Someone is bullying our villagers!"
As soon as he shouted, a man nearby responded immediately.
Immediately afterward, a large group of men came running over with hoes and machetes.
"Who's so blind as to bully the people of our village!"
A group of men shouted in rough voices, looking around threateningly.
The people who were originally crowded on the shore quietly made way for them.
There were about seventy or eighty men from Wangjiazhuang who came over.
There were originally only about twenty people crowded on the shore.
These people had all fled from Anliang City, and they were not very familiar with each other.
Upon seeing this, they all quietly slipped away.
Gousheng's father came over with a torch, and when he saw Gousheng on the shore, he waved excitedly at him.
"Gousheng, come here right now!"
With everyone on board working together, the boat was brought ashore.
Dog-Sheng's father lifted Dog-Sheng ashore, but the expected scene of the father and son embracing and crying did not occur.
After Gou Sheng got ashore, he was first beaten up.
After crying and screaming for a while, he looked at Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang somewhat awkwardly and introduced them to his father:
"Father, these two men on the ship are my saviors!"
Dog Sheng's father never expected that the two teenagers would be the ones who saved his son.
"Thank you both, young men!"
There aren't many spots left on the mountain. Once you're up here, you can come directly to our Wangjia Village area.
As he spoke, he called on the villagers to go back and make room.
Lu Qingqing quickly called out to the person, "We still have to go rescue more people, so we won't go ashore!"
Dog-Sheng's father hadn't expected them to continue, so he quickly called to the people around him.
"Sixth Brother, hurry and go find my wife and bring her thirty catties of grain!"
"Stop your work, we have other things to do, so we'll be leaving now!"
As Lu Qingqing spoke, she saw the last person jump off the boat, waved to them, and then rowed away.
Behind them, Gou Sheng's father saw that they left without taking anything, and couldn't help but slap Gou Sheng on the head.
"You little rascal, you've met a benefactor!"
"Dad thought you were going to die this time, you little rascal!"
Gou Sheng covered his head, looking somewhat aggrieved.
"Dad, I almost died! Instead of comforting me, you keep hitting me!"
As the boat slowly sailed away, Gousheng's father picked him up in his arms.
"You brat, come on, let's go back with your father."
When your mother sees you later, she'll probably give you a beating!
After Gou Sheng's father left, Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang looked around at the people they had rescued and went up the mountain to find a spot.
Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang rowed back, heading straight for the location where they had previously discovered the person.
After rescuing the seven or eight people onto the boat, he directed them to row back.
They released those people ashore and continued rescuing others back.
After several trips, they finally managed to rescue almost everyone in the vicinity.
As for the people on the clock tower of Anliang City, the two of them ignored them.
Qin Lang had seen it before; most of the people on the clock tower were carrying luggage.
Even though it was so crowded up there, none of those people lost their luggage.
If there's luggage, it means there's food inside.
In this situation, we're neither drowning nor starving, and that's good enough.
After the two rowed back to the main channel, the boat was finally able to drift away with the current.
After no longer needing to row, Lu Qingqing collapsed onto the boat.
After a while, she went to replace Qin Lang.
After taking turns resting for a while, they started rowing the boat to speed up forward again.
Unlike the previous path which had so many survivors, the two continued downstream along this path and did not encounter any more survivors.
To be precise, this road is mostly filled with corpses washed down from upstream.
In the darkness, the two men, by the dim light of the lantern, carefully examined the corpses in the floodwaters.
Unfortunately, they didn't see a single living person in the water until they reached the vicinity of the dock.
Of course, the original location of the dock has long been submerged.
It was only when Lu Qingqing saw the shipwreckage among the canopies of several large trees that she recognized it.
Of course, this location may not be a dock.
It's possible that the floodwaters carried the boats here, where they were stopped by the large trees.
But since there were no landmarks or mountains around, she could only temporarily regard this place as a dock.
After rowing the boat around the area and not seeing any living people,
Lu Qingqing placed five small boats next to several large trees.
These boats can be rowed by one or two people.
Although it can carry fewer people, it is less likely to hit rock bottom, making it more suitable for the current environment.
Once they were sure the tree would block the boat, the two rowed downstream.
They didn't know how long they had been paddling, but just as their arms were throbbing with pain, they suddenly heard someone shouting for help from their right.
The two perked up and swam toward the source of the sound.
In the darkness, the two lanterns on the small boat stood out conspicuously.
As the ship drew closer, those on the right became even more agitated.
Only when she got closer did Lu Qingqing realize that the place where these people were sitting was more like a pavilion in a temple.
There are probably fifty or sixty people staying up there.
As soon as these people saw the two approaching, they tried to jump down.
Lu Qingqing was worried that if these people had any wounds, they would be in danger if they got wet in the flood.
They were advised to find a rope and slowly slide down to the boat from above.
The group searched around the area but found no rope.
Finally, someone tore the curtains that were originally used to block out the light in the attic into strips and tied them into ropes.
After the rope was tied, everyone scrambled to slide down.
