Chapter 323 (1/2)

But there is always a limit to man's will.

After reaching the limit, there are two outcomes. The first is collapse, fall. The second is to break through the limit and reach another new height.

And with Zhou Han together with the boat pullers, the outcome is basically the first one.

After the body reached the limit, it can no longer support, one fell. Then, the inhumane overseers untied the chains and mercilessly abandoned the trackers.

Without the addition of new trackers, the remaining trackers will be less and less, and each person's shoulders will be loaded with new burdens, which will make the already faltering trackers even worse, and some of them will fall down.

The rope on his shoulder has been deeply embedded in Zhou Han's muscles. Even though he tried his best to bite his teeth, he still couldn't stop the pulling force of the rope backward. Therefore, he could only bend down and almost drop his head to the ground and use both hands and feet.

The potential of human beings is infinite. Although the number of trackers is less, the remaining potential of trackers is stimulated. Because the wages of those who quit can be shared with the rest.

As a result, the big wooden boat was not washed back by the river, but was still moving slowly.

”One two, one two, one two...” Zhou Han followed the rest of the boat pullers to chant, and then everyone worked together, eyes as far as possible not to look at the front that seems never to be able to reach the distance, only buried his head, trying to pull.

Maybe it was too much blood loss, and Zhou Han's head began to dizzy. At first, I can still hold on, but gradually I can't hold on. Zhou Han only felt the whirling of the earth, and then he didn't know anything.

When Zhou Han wakes up again, the iron chain on his body is gone, and the big wooden boat has no trace. He is alone in the whole muddy river bank. It is obvious that he has been mercilessly abandoned by the supervisors.

What should I do? If I don't have today's salary, how can I open the pot when I go back empty handed.

Looking at the turbulent River, Zhou Han really wanted to jump down and get rid of everything.

No, I can't jump. I'm the only hope in my family. If they die, who will sympathize with them?

Zhou Han can't forget to go back every day, the longing and happiness in the eyes of his family. But more is grateful, grateful to God, once again the favor of Zhou Han, did not let them lose the hope of life.

But what about today? Zhou Han didn't get paid, how to face them when he went back?

The wound on the foot has turned white. Zhou Han can't feel any pain. But Zhou Han knew that the wound would soon fester, and if it was not handled immediately, the leg would not be preserved.

Ha ha!

Zhou Han couldn't help but laugh bitterly. His life was almost gone. Where could he care about this broken leg.

Plop!

Suddenly, there was a sound of water spray behind him, and then something rushed to Zhou Han's feet.

Zhou Han looked down, this is a big puffer fish, full of about three Jin appearance. Maybe it was because of being frightened in the river, or because of other reasons, it ran to the bank and ran aground.

Puffer puffer desperately, want to return to the river, Zhou Han in the puffer fish is about to escape back to the river when he rushed up, exhausted all his strength to seize it.

Looking at the puffer fish struggling, Zhou Han's ideological struggle is very fierce.

He didn't get his salary today, so his family couldn't cook. This puffer fish is just enough food for the family today. No, it is not enough. People who have been starving for a long time have a big appetite. Maybe this puffer fish is not half of the food for their families.

However, puffer fish are poisonous and cannot be eaten.

But if you don't cook today, you'll have no strength tomorrow. What's more, Zhou Han will no longer be able to earn rations for his family if his leg is broken. The only result he and his family have is to starve to death.

Instead of being starved to death, it's better to eat a hot meat meal and go on the road together.

Zhou Han grabbed the puffer fish and limped back slowly. Before sunset, I finally got home.

Zhou Han's wife saw Zhou Han bring a fat fish back, she did not know it was puffer fish, she was ecstatic. Zhou Han's two children watched the puffer fish and danced happily. Their father had not brought this kind of high-grade food back for a long time.

Zhou Han's paralyzed old mother in bed also showed a long lost smile.

Zhou Han's wife killed fish clumsily. The two children craned their necks and drooled on one side. No one noticed the deep pain and helplessness in Zhou Han's eyes. This is the last supper. It's not Zhou Han who is cruel. He can't live.

The puffer fish was killed and put into the pot. The air immediately filled with a greedy smell. The two children couldn't wait. They tried to open the pot and steal some pieces, but they were stopped by Zhou Han's wife.

Zhou Han has the final say in what he wants to do.

”How long will the fish be cooked?” Zhou Han's wife looked up at her.

”Cook more and get rid of the smell.” Zhou Han turned away and didn't want his wife to see the tears in his eyes.Finally, after another hour of cooking, the water in the pot was almost dry. Zhou Han's wife asked again, ”is it OK?”

”Add some water and cook for another hour.” Zhou Han's mood is becoming more and more complicated. Is it right or wrong for him to do so?
