Montaigne told Gu Shaowu his story, which began on the third day of the cuckoo's departure······

The cuckoo was gone for three days, and Montaigne went to the cuckoo's house every day to help take care of the cuckoo's parents, and on the third night, the cuckoo should have arrived, but the cuckoo did not report to the family. Day 4 & Day 5······

On the morning of the sixth day, Montaigne's relative, who introduced the work to Cuckoo, called Montaigne's village committee, and Montaigne hurriedly went to answer the phone, but the news he got was that Cuckoo did not go at all. The other end of the phone was also very anxious, saying that it would be that Du Juan got out of the car and got lost or got off the wrong station, Montaigne was also blind, and his relatives said that they would let Montaigne go over to look for Du Juan together, after all, his relatives didn't know what Du Juan looked like.

Montaigne didn't even think about it, and he didn't dare to tell Cuckoo's family, he immediately went to buy a train ticket and some lines and rushed to the city where her relative was.

Two days later, Montaigne came to this small county town called Qingshan County, and as soon as Montaigne got out of the station, Montaigne saw the distant cousin Yuanyuan who picked her up, and Yuanyuan also saw Montaigne, she ran over and took Montaigne's bag with a smile and took Montaigne's bag.

Montaigne immediately anxiously asked Yuanyuan about the cuckoo, Yuanyuan smiled and told him not to worry, said to take him to the place where he lived first, the two got into a van, Montaigne felt a little wrong, he knew that Yuanyuan was working in a restaurant, how could there be a van to pick him up, but at this time Montaigne's mind was full of cuckoos, so he didn't think much about it, but the car turned east and west out of the county, this situation Montaigne also found out, he asked Yuanyuan where he was going, Yuanyuan told him that this was going to their dormitory, They also said that their hotel was on the edge of the city.

After a short time, the train drove to the courtyard with a tall courtyard wall, the gate opened, and the car drove in, and then the gate slammed shut. After entering the hospital, Yuanyuan also put away her smile, she said to Montaigne that she had a good thing to make money, and asked Montaigne if he was interested in joining, how could Montaigne be in the mood to listen to this, and he also realized that something was wrong with this matter, Montaigne immediately asked to get out of the car and leave, Yuanyuan said to Montaigne again, don't you want to see the cuckoo, Montaigne thought it was Yuanyuan who detained the cuckoo, so he didn't say that he wanted to go again.

Yuan Yuan told Montaigne to go to the dormitory to rest and rest first, and then talk about it in the evening, after saying that, a man took Montaigne to a small two-story building inside, and after entering, there were many rooms inside, and the man took Montaigne to one of the rooms, and Montaigne went in to take a look, and the lights were still on in the middle of the day, because the windows of the room had been sealed, so there was no outside light. There were four bunk beds in the room, and there were already five or six men in them, and these people saw that there were new people coming, and they all stepped forward to warmly entertain Montaigne, and after a while, these people told Montaigne that they were here to attend classes, and this was an opportunity to make a lot of money, although Montaigne didn't know what a pyramid scheme was at that time, but he also knew that it was definitely not a good thing, and now Montaigne was bent on finding Cuckoo.

Montaigne first pretended to be very interested and gained the trust of these people, and then tentatively asked if there was a girl who had come in a few days before, and then told these people about the appearance of the cuckoo, and these people thought for a while and said that there should have been no girl described by Montaigne in the past few days, and Montaigne knew that this time he had been fooled.

In the evening, Montaigne followed these people to a large room on the first floor to listen to the lecture, a lecturer-like person talked endlessly for more than two hours, and the people below listened to the clapping hands again and again, and from time to time there were exclamations and shouts, and then came to the climax, several students also appeared on the stage to say, crying bitterly how they achieved the dream of making a fortune through the products of the "company".

Montaigne listened to this class in a daze, and he was not in the mood to listen to the class here, and after the class was over, the roommates took Montaigne back to the room, and when they returned to the room, these people still took turns to "teach" Montaigne. But Montaigne was ready to leave early tomorrow morning.

The night finally passed, at five o'clock in the morning Montaigne got up, he packed his bag and went out, to the verandah on the second floor, there was no one, Montaigne went downstairs and went straight to the gate, when Montaigne walked to the door, he found that the gate was locked inside, no key could not be opened, he was looking at the wall of this courtyard is more than three meters high, he looked carefully at the top of the wall is also inlaid with broken glass, this is like a prison.

While Montaigne was still thinking, a man from behind stopped him, and Montaigne looked back to see two men in black vests, and one of them asked, "Where are you going?" ”

"I'm leaving!" Montaigne said coldly.

The two of them smiled at each other and said, "Brother, don't you listen to such a good course?" ”

"I'm leaving?" Montaigne said again.

The two men shook their heads and walked straight to Montaigne, Montaigne clenched his hands into fists, and when the two men came up, Montaigne struck first, and stepped forward with an uppercut punch in the face of one of them, followed by a kick in the stomach of the other man, the two boys were beaten and screamed twice, and they stepped forward to fight with Montaigne, although these two men looked vicious, but they obviously couldn't beat Montaigne, but at this time a group of people rushed out of the house and surrounded Montaigne.

Montaigne, who was beaten to death, was locked up alone in a small dark room, and Yuan Yuan came to see him several times in the middle, but in fact, he still came to persuade Montaigne to join this pyramid scheme. But Montaigne was not moved at all, he could not say anything, and he rarely ate, and after a few days the people here did not bring food or water to Montaigne, because they felt that this man was worthless, but they could not let this man go, and could only follow the old way.

Montaigne has been without water and food for three days, plus his injuries or something, Montaigne's consciousness gradually blurred, at this moment he seemed to see the cuckoo running towards him, but just when the cuckoo was about to come to him, he suddenly ran away again, Montaigne wanted to chase her, but could not catch up, at this time Montaigne heard the siren of the police car.

In one fell swoop, the police cracked the rampant pyramid scheme, and by the time the police found Montaigne, he was already dying.

Montaigne lay in the hospital for a week, his body gradually recovered, he asked the police if he knew the whereabouts of the cuckoo as soon as he was better, the police also attached great importance to Montaigne's reaction, but after investigating for a period of time, it was found that the whereabouts of the cuckoo were not found, and it was also determined that the disappearance of the cuckoo was not related to this pyramid scheme. Montaigne was deceived when he heard this, and after a few days of recovery hurried home, hoping that the cuckoo would have miraculously returned home by this time.

When Montaigne arrived home, although he didn't get the news of Du Juan's homecoming, he also got a good news, that is, the boss of the coal mine where Du Juan's father had an accident was caught, and he also compensated Du Juan's father a large amount of money. A few months later, Cuckoo's family suddenly received a letter from Cuckoo's family, in which Cuckoo said that he was working, everything was fine, so don't worry about himself at home, not to worry about himself, not much, just a letter to keep safe.

Montaigne came to Cuckoo's house immediately after knowing this, and when he saw the letter, tears were about to flow out, after all, it was a good thing that Cuckoo was safe now, but Montaigne thought about it when he came home at night, because Cuckoo, a little girl who had never been out, could not go to the place of work that she had introduced, although it was also a fire pit that Montaigne did not know at that time. But it was impossible to find a job on his own, the more Montaigne thought about it, the more wrong it became, and Montaigne had also seen the methods of the MLM organization, and he knew how dangerous it was outside.

The next day, Montaigne went to Du Juan's house to read the letter, and he carefully looked at the address of the letter, and there was no more detailed address for Yinzhai County, Shandong Province. After returning home, Montaigne thought about it again and again, and decided to go to the cuckoo again. This time, no matter whether it is life or death, I must find the cuckoo, but I didn't expect that this search will be more than ten years.
