Bai Wenshui fell silent and did not say a word.
However, Big Ghost and Little Ghost were frightened out of their wits. They did not hide anything and directly recounted all the evil deeds they had done since they were young. Red Boy found it amusing when he heard the first part about stealing for survival. However, the latter part about them diving into the water to kill good people infuriated him.
After Big Ghost and Little Ghost confessed the most infuriating things, the remaining Ghosthead, Mole, and company did not hide anything. All of them recounted what they had done.
"In fact, we never thought of going so overboard in the past. Back then, we were only trying to help by fishing people out."
"Who knew that fishing people out was more profitable than fishing? Two thousand a time. Furthermore, there was a flood back then, and many people drowned. Fishing people out made money too quickly, so we began having perverted thoughts. "
"In the beginning, we didn't dare raise the price too much. We only raised it by a thousand and three thousand."
"Later, the more money we earned, the more we thought about it. Bai Wenshui organized us and scammed all the volunteers away. We ended up monopolizing the business of fishing people out of the river."
"We wanted to earn more, but there were only a few people who died every year. If we wanted to earn more, more people had to die. Furthermore, we raised the price, so we did. "
"We were already quite content when we reached five or eight thousand. But we soon realized that this wasn't the limit of a family. We could earn even more from the dead. "
"With the rise in money, fewer and fewer people dared to enter the water. We were used to a life of earning a few yuan. If we were to return to fishing, we wouldn't be able to bear it. Therefore, Bai Wenshui found Big Ghost and Little Ghost. We did not consider our reputation or justice. All we wanted was to earn money. "
"Greed is like a devil. It can't be stopped."
…
Upon hearing their words, Fangzheng could not help but sigh. Who was born a bad person? At times, the appearance of a bad person was not necessarily a result of them being born crooked. Instead, when a gust of wind blew, without anything to support them, they would become crooked.
Red Boy whispered. "Master, how can these people be so evil? Have they eaten enough of their conscience? Even when I was a demon, I wasn't this evil. "
Squirrel added, "That's right. They're too evil. They're worse than the people who stole my pine nuts. "
Fangzheng said, "Evil is a huge triangle in a person's heart. Every time something bad is done, the triangle will spin, making one's heart ache. But if you do too many bad things, the triangle will keep spinning and grinding back and forth. In the end, the edges will be smoothed out and it will become a circle. When you do bad things again, it won't hurt anymore. "
"Can these people still be saved?" Red Boy asked.
Fangzheng shook his head. It wasn't that Fangzheng didn't say that there was no hope, but that he didn't know if there was any hope. He wasn't a god or Buddha, and there were many things he couldn't see through. In his opinion, there was no need to save these people.
Time ticked by. These people were indeed people who made a living in the water. Each of them floated on the surface of the water for an entire night!
The sky was just beginning to brighten. There were people doing morning exercises on the shore, running along the roadside.
Gui Tou tilted his head and saw someone. He immediately became excited and shouted, "Help! Help! "
With Ghosthead leading the way, the others all turned their heads. Seeing a living person, all of them burst into tears. In the end, humans were not fish. No matter how good they were at swimming, they could not stand being soaked in water for too long! Therefore, all of them shouted, "Help! Help! "
As the people on the shore ran, they suddenly heard someone shout for help. When they looked into the river, they saw a group of people floating in the water. They were crying for help. Without a word, they took off their shirts and were about to jump into the water to save them. At the same time, they shouted for others to help. Fangzheng saw one of them very clearly. His square face was just too eye-catching. He was the first person to jump into the water back when Fangzheng first arrived. He had been stopped midway by Bai Wenshui and had no choice but to retreat! Today, he saw him again. Indeed, it was as he said. Despite knowing that there was danger, he still risked his life!
The square-faced man wasn't slow either. He jumped into the water right after the youth. Apart from that, there were quite a number of people who rushed into the river. Some were making phone calls, while others were getting lifebuoys from nearby shops.
At that moment, the elderly man who had spoken to Fangzheng shouted, "It looks like Bai Wenshui, Gui Tou, and company!"
The moment that was said, the people who were running, making phone calls, sprinting, or about to jump into the water instantly froze in their spots.
When Ghosthead saw this, he turned anxious. "What are you doing? Quickly save them! I'm almost out of strength! "
"From the sound of it, it's really Ghosthead!" said the square-faced man.
The others exchanged looks with the square-faced man and stopped what they were doing. They turned around and returned to the riverside. They sat by the riverside and looked coldly at the people floating in the river.
When Bai Wenshui, Ghosthead, Mole, Daguang, and company saw this scene, their hearts chilled. They felt like they had been abandoned by the entire world. This was the first time they felt the anger and hatred of the entire world! The people of the Twin Rivers were famous for being kind. They were heroes in the heroic city, and there were countless instances of people entering the water to save others. But today, the kind-hearted people of the Twin Rivers chose to watch coldly from the riverside. Why was that? Could it be that they were hated to such an extent?
At that instant, the few of them truly felt a sense of sorrow, a sorrow that came from the depths of their hearts! They could be evil or bad people, but they had never thought of the harm their wickedness would bring to others. They had never thought of how the world viewed them. They believed that what they had done was flawless. No one had any evidence to prove what they had done. But why were these people treating them this way? They refused to accept it!
Fangzheng nodded slightly. Red Boy, who had been waiting on the riverside, took out Fangzheng's cell phone. As he walked, he played the conversation between Bai Wenshui, Ghosthead, and company yesterday.
Upon hearing what they said and what they had done, the people on the riverside were instantly infuriated! All of them stood there and pointed at the river, cursing!
"Bai Wenshui, are you even human?"
"The Twin Rivers do not have beasts like you!"
"Has your conscience been eaten by dogs?"
"There's a story of the farmer and the snake since ancient times. Whoever saves you today will suffer retribution!"
"Yes, don't save them!"
The square-faced man was originally a little hesitant about saving them. After all, there were a few lives at stake. However, after watching Red Boy's video, he turned around and left. As he walked, he said, "If such a hungry wolf were to live, more people would die."
Someone wanted the video, so Red Boy generously switched on his Bluetooth and sent it to everyone. Following that, everyone forwarded it crazily.
At that moment, a few police cars drove over.
"Someone has fallen into the water. Little Song, go take a look," said the driver.
Little Song nodded and was about to alight when a policeman sitting behind said, "Wait a moment. Take a look at this. It was just posted on WeChat Moments."
After the few of them finished watching it, the police car spun around and left!
"Police, don't go! Help! "
"Help, or I'll sue you!" Ghosthead shouted as well, but due to his lack of stamina, he gulped down a huge mouthful of water!
