Return to Splendid

After waiting for a moment, Xing Yi waved his hand and said: "Okay, if I lose, I will kowtow. That's no problem. No one knows me anyway, and my bad reputation won't spread anywhere. But what about you? You and everyone else are like this." Mature, if you lose, where will you put your face and what should you do?"

Hang Xiaokai chuckled: "You are overthinking. If I lose, what will happen? The whole village is my elders, and it doesn't matter if I kneel down to them."

The villagers breathed a sigh of relief and shouted: "This is called Hang Xiaokai's style. Dare to speak, dare to do, dare to take responsibility, high attitude, admirable,"

Hang Xiaokai raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't worry, I still have questions!"

The villagers shouted again: "Brother Xiao Kai, you have to be merciful and merciful, forget it."

Team leader Ren wanted to say something, but Hang Xiaokai waved his hand to block it: "Don't be impatient. What I want to say is the time limit. You are so bad that you can't see the problem at all, but I can see it very clearly. This is stalling for time. Huh, you want to wait until everyone is dozing off and feeling low, then you can think of other ideas, right? I'm sorry, please stop thinking, there must be a time limit."

The villager said: "What Brother Xiaokai said makes sense. You have to have an idea of ​​the time and place. Is it right to mix green onions with tofu and it will be clear?"

Team leader Ren said: "Don't make things difficult for others. No one can explain God's affairs clearly."

"He just said it very clearly and without any ambiguity, right?"

Xing Yi slowly shook his head: "It is true that you are pressing harder and harder. What do you want me to say? If I can tell the exact time, wouldn't I become a god? Then I will bet with you, you still Is there any chance of winning?"

"There is no time limit. If there is no movement at dawn, you want to wait until noon. If there is still no movement at noon, then you want to wait until night. In this way, you make the decision and we all follow your baton. What is that? How much food can the team leader’s family have for everyone to enjoy?”

Team leader Ren said: "It won't hurt if I eat a few more meals."

"What if it takes a few days?"

Xing Yi said: "It's impossible. I will leave at dawn. There are many things to do."

The villager said: "Then it will be before dawn?"

Hang Xiaokai shook his head: "There are still seven or eight hours before dawn. Who can wait?"

"Then go ahead."

"A few hours ahead of time, it's up to him."

Xing Yi chose not to speak and just stared at the team leader.

Hang Xiaokai winked: "You've all seen it, this is a way of dragging it on."

Team leader Ren said: "I suggest you not to wait until dawn, but not too early, and press the time of two o'clock in the middle of the night, which may be acceptable."

In fact, Ren Xinghe has been thinking in his heart that one is a stranger and the other only has relatives in the village. To be honest, both of them are outsiders, so why bother.

Ren Xinghe then thought, after a few more efforts, it was already midnight and everyone was sleepy. Who would have the heart to gamble? Big things can be reduced to small things, and small things can be reduced to small things. This may be a good thing.

Hang Xiaokai said: "Two o'clock is late. We have to set an hour in advance and set a time of one o'clock at midnight. If the stone bridge and the house are still standing there after that time, then he will lose."

Xing Yi didn't speak. He looked calm on the surface, but he was extremely nervous inside. He was wondering if there would be an accident. What was this accident?Is Hong Feng struggling all the way and his momentum gradually weakening?The flood will recede, and then... In that case, he will really lose. The 100 yuan will be gone, and the watch he has worn for several years will be lost... Then God is playing a big joke on him. .But then I thought about it, but what’s the point?The house of Yu Dalin's family was saved, and the big stone bridge was safe and sound. Compared with this, how much does that count?

Ren Xing, his wife, and Yu Dalin's wife and children all went in to sleep. There were only a few grown men left in the main room. Hang Xiaokai shouted, "Hold on, you can't sleep."

The villager's head suddenly turned to the left and then to the right, trying to find a place to lean on, so he leaned on Hang Xiaokai's back.

Hang Xiaokai shook him awake and whispered: "Be careful. You must do something to keep an eye on this person and don't let him slip away."

The villagers half-closed their eyes, opened their mouths, and nodded speciously.

Hang Xiaokai himself kept yawning, but for the sake of victory, he persisted and kept smoking. When the cigarette was gone, he reached out to team leader Ren.

At the same time, he looked at his watch more and more frequently, from half an hour to 10 minutes, and finally almost once a minute near one o'clock in the middle of the night.

The limited time was coming. Hang Xiaokai stood up, shook his hands, rolled up his sleeves, exposed the watch on his wrist, and signaled everyone to look at the hands inside the watch. The hour and minute hands were all at one point, and the second hand was ticking closer.

Everyone listened carefully, and in addition to the sound of rain, they also heard a whining sound, quickly approaching from far away, like thousands of cows running together in a crowd, whizzing past the edge of the village.

The eyes of everyone in the room were as big as bells, and they were all dumbfounded.A few minutes later, team leader Ren called the villagers, put on rain gear and flashlights and went out. He came back a moment later. The villagers rushed ahead and looked at the people in the room, their eyes flashing and their lips trembling: "The bridge is gone. , the house also collapsed..."

Hang Xiaokai raised his head. He had heard the strange noise just now, and the words of the team leader and others confirmed it, but he still didn't believe it. He found his red umbrella, opened it to block the oncoming wind and rain, and ran out.

When it got dark, everyone in the village went to the river to see. Half of the two houses were left, and the other half had been washed away by the water. Then they looked at the stone bridge, and there was no trace of it. Only the two piers at the two ends were exposed to the water, which was almost the same. On the river level with the ground, the turbid waves carried a lot of debris, rolling and roaring, rushing downstream, making deafening sounds along the way.

"God!"

"Oh my god!"

Yu Dalin and his wife also came. The woman looked at half of the house, her face was blue and black, her knees were bent, and she wanted to cry without tears.The man came to Xing Yi with heavy steps. Without opening a word, he knelt down with a plop and kowtowed.

Xing Yi suddenly panicked and quickly bent down to help him up with both hands.

Yu Dalin cried and said: "I really don't know how to thank you, my great benefactor, you saved my family's lives."

Xing Yi said: "Stop talking about this, go and comfort your loved one. The house can be rebuilt. You only have one life. As long as the whole family is fine, it will be fine."

More than a dozen villagers gathered around, stretched out their hands, and took turns holding Xing Yi's hand and shaking it.

"You are so amazing, you are so amazing..."

"Yes, if it weren't for you, something big would have happened in our Xiaohewan Village today..."

The villager suddenly remembered the bet: "Where is Hang Xiaokai? Where is the bet he made?"

He opened his voice and shouted: "Hang Xiaokai, it's your turn this time. You lose. Come and kowtow, starting from us."
