My movie scared the global audience to tears

The Gango River is the mother river of Gango Province and the second largest river in the country.

On this river, there are many Afi people who have lived by the river for generations, making a living by fishing and shipping.

Blue is a Bigmai tribesman, but he is an urban Bigmai.

His father sent him to school in the town since he was a child, and then supported him to go to high school in the city.

After failing the college entrance examination, he returned to the village and started running boats with his father, helping deliver goods to villages and towns along the way.

Living in the city since he was a child, he has been accustomed to the prosperity of the city. After returning to the village, he felt unaccustomed to everything.

He didn't look down on the villagers, he just thought they were ignorant and pitiful, including his father.

People in the village still maintain their ancient beliefs. Every household enshrines a statue of the giant snake Apep and pays homage in the morning and evening.

His father was particularly devout in worshiping, and would offer sacrifices to the giant snake Apep every time before going on a boat.

Every time they ran a boat, half of the money they earned had to be used to buy sacrifices and spices, which made Blue very dissatisfied.

Since he was a child, he has heard his father tell various legends about the giant snake Apep, but he has always scoffed at it.

Having received modern education, he simply did not believe that there could be such a big snake in the world.

He told his father more than once that the largest snake discovered by humans is the fossil of Titanoboa, but even Titanoboa cannot be as big as the giant snake Apep.

The oxygen content in the world today makes it impossible for snakes to grow to such a large size, and if there really was a giant snake Apep, it would have been discovered long ago.

The largest snake in the world now is the anaconda from the Inca Republic. There is one in the Cairo City Zoo. He saw it when he went to play with his classmates, but it was only seven or eight meters long, and the thickest part was only a street light pole.

So thick.

The so-called giant snake Apep is just an exaggerated and fictitious image created by their ancestors who accidentally saw a big snake and passed it on through false rumors. It does not exist in the real world at all.

But every time his father ignored his words and instead scolded him for being stupid in school and even losing the faith of his own people.

As time passed, he stopped arguing with his father on this topic. He felt that it was meaningless.

Tonight they once again pulled goods from Jinsha City on the upper reaches of the Gango River and transported them downstream.

Before setting sail, my father made a special trip to a nearby temple to offer 10,000 Philippine coins to the giant snake Apep for peace.

He couldn't hold it back and complained again, thinking that his father was wasting money.

They have been running this river for more than ten years. Let alone Apep, they have never seen even a larger python. Why throw this money to the temple's priests?

Wouldn't it be better to use the money to buy more goods?

But his father scolded him again. In anger, he ran to the stern of the boat and hid alone, and stopped talking to his father.

Going downstream was with the current. In order to save fuel, my father turned off the engine and let the boat be pushed by the river and travel downstream.

Although this saves fuel, it also increases the difficulty of sailing the ship. You must always pay attention to adjusting the direction to prevent the ship from turning sideways.

Originally, he and his father switched shifts to sail the boat. After the two of them changed shifts twice, they were able to reach the first big city downstream before dawn.

But Blue is not going to work for his father tonight. Who wants him to throw all his money to that fattened priest?

He has money but doesn't make any money, and reasoning doesn't make sense. If he insists on asking for trouble, then just keep going. He deserves to be exhausted!

Blue sat in the stern of the boat, sulking, and the boat was pushed by the river water, silently heading downstream.

Without the interference of the engine, the river was calm, and the boat was like a fallen leaf floating on the river, drifting with the flow of the river.

The boat sailed through a river bend. Blue's father adjusted the direction on the bow of the boat. The boat drew an arc and bypassed the river bend.

The water plants in the river bend are lush, and the dewdrops on the grass blades are shining like pearls when illuminated by the bright moonlight.

In the past, after driving through this river bend, we arrived at the place where Blue and his father changed shifts.

Seeing the calm river surface being broken up by the ripples caused by the floating stern of the boat, Blue sighed and prepared to get up and change his shift.

Suddenly, he saw something flashing across the river with his peripheral vision.

He looked over alertly, but only saw a black shadow that quickly submerged into the water.

It was a black shadow half the size of the boat, and it was obviously a living thing!

Blue increased his vigilance and looked carefully at the calm lake in front of the black shadow.

If it is a moving living creature, it will definitely appear again ahead.

He didn't see the shape of the black shadow clearly, but judging from its size, it was probably a crocodile.

If it was really a crocodile, then he would have to quickly remind his father to start the engine and speed through the bend.

A crocodile that big could easily overturn this boat if provoked!

The moonlight shone down and illuminated the river. Blue lay on the side of the boat and stared at the river at the bend.

The full moon casts a reflection on the river, swaying with the water waves.

Suddenly! A black shadow broke through the reflection of the full moon in the water, meandered on the water, and soon submerged into the water.

Blue's eyes widened instantly!

This time, he saw it clearly!

That's not a crocodile at all!

Judging from the scales and patterns on its body, it looks like a big snake!

But how could there be such a big snake?!

By visual inspection, the diameter is over two meters!

The anaconda he saw at the Cairo City Zoo was only thirty or forty centimeters in diameter!

Why is it so big?

I must have read it wrong!

He quickly rubbed his eyes, and when he looked at the water again, it was already calm.

Sure enough, I was wrong... Blue breathed a sigh of relief.

Just saying! How can there be such a big snake in the world?

He raised his hand to wipe away the cold sweat.

He must have heard his father say that the giant snake Apep talked too much and was hallucinating.

Suddenly, a shadow blocked the light source behind him. Most of the bright moonlight was blocked, and the deck quickly became dark.

A strong sense of crisis came from behind Blue.

His heart seemed to have stopped beating, and his breath was momentarily held. Blue turned his stiff neck and looked back.

A huge snake head poked out from the river, looking down at him!

A thick body with a diameter of more than two meters supports its flat head like a cattail fan, standing next to the stern of the ship.

On the neck, patches of brown spots formed circular patterns, like eyes, arranged vertically on both sides.

On the yellow-brown belly, there are silt and water plants sandwiched in ring patterns, and the details are clearly visible.

Black scales are densely packed all over the body.

On the huge snake's head, a pair of vertical pupils without any emotion were staring at Blue, and a black letter was spat out from its mouth, exuding a strong fishy smell.

"ah!!!!!!"

Blue's screams floated on the quiet river, and carried far and wide with the night wind.

…

The next day, a rumor spread quickly in the coastal cities of Congo Province.

The legendary giant snake Apep appears!
