Chapter 1 Life's Roller Coaster
Mountains, endless mountains. Forest, endless mountain forest.
The brown stone is covered with thick moss, and the fallen leaves on the ground are layered in the deep forest that shades the sky, and it is a desolation that has accumulated over time.
Day 1.
At ten o'clock in the evening, the mobile phone was completely out of battery, and Fang Shanmu lost the only tool to contact the outside world.
When the last trace of disappointment was shattered, Fang Shanmu sat on the cold and damp stone, holding his head in his hands, and crying loudly!
Crying hoarsely, crying earth-shattering!
The surroundings were frighteningly quiet, accustomed to the traffic and hustle and bustle of the city, and suddenly in the middle of the deserted mountains and old forests, he felt like he had walked into a no-man's land. Aside from the deep woods and the whirring of the wind, and the roars of unknown beasts and the chirping of insects, there was no sign of sapient beings.
What the is this place?
It's over, there may be no way to get out alive again!" Fang Shanmu cried for a few minutes, then stood up suddenly, and punched a tall pine tree, and his hand was bleeding like blood.
Why was he so stupid at the beginning, and actually believed Gu Hao's words? Now he finally figured it out, he was calculated by Gu Hao.
If he can get out alive, he will first go to Gu Hao to settle accounts, and if Gu Hao is not allowed to live, he will not be the vice president of the first Internet company in Beijing, Fang Shanmu, who makes many people fearful.
He had been in the capital for more than 10 years, so how could he not know that there was such a barren mountain and mountain range in the western suburbs where no one could be seen all day? His current situation was completely a true version of survival in the wilderness.
No one would have thought that he just wanted to come over for two days to be quiet, fishing, walking, and eating farmhouse meals, but he accidentally found himself in a desperate situation, and fate gave him a sneer that made people overwhelmed after playing a big joke with him.
The next day.
At ten o'clock in the evening, it began to rain. He hid his phone in his pocket, but unfortunately his whole body was soaked, and he didn't know if the phone had been flooded. Although there is no power and no signal, with a mobile phone, there is the last glimmer of hope for survival. Cash can be without, but mobile phones must be inseparable. Now human beings have been completely kidnapped by mobile phones.
Fang Shanmu didn't know how he survived the stormy night, after dawn, he headed in the direction of the sun, and he didn't know how long he walked, but fortunately, the watch was still accurately recording the time, and at the critical time, the mechanical watch was still more reliable than any electronic watch.
Day 3.
Fang Shanmu, who was already exhausted, did not despair, and his desire to survive supported him to continue to move forward with difficulty. The experience of living in the countryside since he was a child has given him a certain knowledge of survival in the wild. Since the deep mountains and old forests are in the west of the capital, you can definitely go out if you keep heading east.
During the day, he could follow the sun in the morning, and at noon and in the afternoon, he introduced the oriental orientation with the help of the principle of direction identification by the hands of his watch. And at night, he went all the way east, according to the direction in which the moon was rising.
At the beginning of the month, the moon rises from west to east. And in the middle of the month, it rises in the east and moves in the west. Now it was the middle of the month, Fang Shanmu stumbled all the way, recognized an East, gritted his teeth and insisted, and repeatedly used his four principles of nos to cheer himself up - not vindictive, not squeamish, not discouraged, not discouraged.
Day 4.
At dawn, when the first rays of sunlight penetrate the leaves, countless lights and shadows are formed in the forest, like a grand performance. Fang Shanmu felt that he could no longer take a step, and was about to fall, when in the distance, a big iron gate was faintly visible. He roared excitedly, and finally there was a sign of human civilization, indicating that he was saved.
Pushing open the heavy iron door, the sun was blowing, Fang Shanmu squinted his eyes and stretched out his right hand to block the sun.
Outside the door, there was another world—the road in front of him, the tall buildings in the distance, and finally seeing the light of day, he used his last strength to wave his arms vigorously a few times to celebrate his new life.
Sure enough, it was the endless road, and Fang Shanmu was almost about to cheer.
However, the joy only lasted for a moment, and Fang Shanmu soon discovered that the road was a deserted highway, and there was still no one around, not to mention that there was not a single car. His mood fell from the peak to the bottom in an instant, and he thought that he had escaped from his life and was desperate, but he didn't expect that it was just another dead end.
If he remembered correctly, he and Gu Hao came here from the city and drove for nearly an hour and a half, even if the traffic jam in the capital was serious, it would be at least sixty or seventy kilometers away from the city. In his current state, he can't walk six or seven kilometers.
The iron gate behind him is thick and tall, and it should be a deserted mountain forest management office.
Could it really be that he died here like this? Fang Shanmu lay on the ground dejectedly, the autumn sky was far away and clear. The air is fresh and refreshing. The distant mountains are verdant like daisies, the birds are singing in the deep forests nearby, the breeze blows, and the whole body is cool.
If it weren't for the fact that you were hungry for three days and three nights, it would be nice to have a completely relaxing vacation like this. Don't care about the company's endless daily affairs and the company's huge losses of tens of millions due to his mistakes, and don't think about the deadlocked marriage with Sheng Chen after a cold war that lasted for nearly a year, he just wants to let go of all his worries and unhappiness, sleep well, and when he wakes up, his life roller coaster will rush out of the trough and rush to the top.
However, although his life suddenly fell off a cliff, Fang Shanmu is not an evasive character, and it is not his character to die as soon as he dies. Now that he is middle-aged, old and young, and has social responsibilities that he should bear, how can he escape the difficulties in front of him with death?
What's more, after three days and three nights of life and death tests, what else can't he dare to face?
Recently, a series of events have happened, like dominoes, causing a chain reaction that catches people off guard.
If you have to find an origin, it is that he and Sheng Chen are becoming more and more incongruous in their marriages and have increasingly serious differences in their life philosophy! It is Sheng Chen's repeated vexatious troubles that have led to his work mistakes, which have caused the company's losses and made the chairman very angry. After consideration by the Board of Directors, it was unanimously decided to suspend him from work.
After suspending work, instead of comforting and encouraging him, Sheng Chen sneered and ridiculed him, making him angry and run away from home, temporarily living in the house of his colleague Gu Hao.
Gu Hao sympathized with his plight, claiming that a friend of his had opened a farmhouse in Xishan—the moss was green and the grass was green. There is a lot of talk and laughter, and there is no white ding. You can tune the piano and read the Golden Sutra. There is no silk and bamboo, and there is no case - a paradise where you can recuperate for a few days and recuperate in order to make a comeback.
Fang Shanmu, who had nowhere to go and was homeless, was thrilled when he heard this, and immediately went with Gu Hao. After an hour and a half of driving, he and Gu Hao got out of the car and walked. After walking a few more kilometers, Gu Hao suddenly received a call saying that he had an urgent matter to return, and asked him to continue walking for two or three kilometers to see a farm, just report his name directly.
Fang Shanmu listened to Gu Hao's words and walked for more than an hour, but he didn't see the farm. When I wanted to call and ask for clarification, my phone had no signal. In a panic, he got lost, and then, his phone ran out of battery......
I heard that people will quickly recall their lives before they die, is he going to die? Fang Shanmu didn't know if he was too desperate or too tired, and when he felt that he was about to fall asleep in a daze, suddenly a car horn sounded in his ears.
Fang Shanmu jumped up in great surprise, he had never felt so annoying as the car horn was so pleasant, and fifty meters behind him, a white van slowly drove up.
"Stop, stop!" Fang Shanmu jumped up and waved his hands vigorously, his desire to survive made him extremely excited and full of strength, "Save me, brother, save someone's life, and win the seventh-level floating slaughter." ”
The driver didn't hear Fang Shanmu's somewhat distorted cry for help under his excitement, he just stared at Fang Shanmu who was like a wild man with wide eyes and a shocked expression, and a strong thought suddenly flashed in his heart: "Who said that only Shennongjia has legendary wild men, and there are also wild people in the west mountains of the capital?"
It wasn't until Fang Shanmu slammed into the car window that he woke up and hurriedly stepped on the brakes: "Who are you? No, no, are you a human or a savage?"
Fang Shanmu opened the car door and got into the car regardless of it, and sat on the chair: "Of course I'm a fucking human, have you ever seen a savage who can speak human words and look so wise and martial?" He stroked his unkempt hair and mustache again, laughed and joked, "I've been waiting for you for days, why did you arrive?"
Unexpectedly, as soon as the words came out, the driver was stunned for a moment, and then jumped out of the car and ran: "Mom, you police are too dedicated, for a broken bread, ambushed for several days, I admit it!"
said that he confessed to it, but his body was very honest, and he ran away without a trace.
What is the situation? Fang Shanmu rubbed his hands at a loss, and thought about it again, forget it, I can't care about it so much, life matters. He immediately started the van and drove towards the city.
Fortunately, there was also a car charger in the van, and Fang Shanmu hurried to charge his phone. Fortunately, although the phone was wet from the rain, it was still intact and turned on normally.
In an instant, countless messages poured into the mobile phone, Fang Shanmu was almost in tears, it felt good to return to civilized society.
But the countless messages that followed, one more cruel than the other, were like a hammer, each hammer hit Fang Shanmu's chest fiercely, so that after fate gave him a big joke and sent him a sneer at a loss, he received an extremely cruel smile from fate!
