With that, we struggled to the outside of the lumberyard. The push on the flat road can be quite endured, but the uphill slope is really a kind of tiredness that wants to die. We went up a slope that was more than one meter high and more than three meters long, and my legs basically couldn't walk, but I felt that Mench had no intention of stopping, so I could only grit my teeth and persevere.

It was getting dark, and I knew it wasn't far from dawn.

I poked my head out to see the road ahead, there was so much wood that I couldn't see Menqi, only his shadow. I also saw a big slope not far away, almost more than eight meters high and more than ten meters long. I immediately retracted my head. The anxiety of not looking at the road may reduce the pain of walking.

I know I'm getting closer and closer to that terrible slope. Now try to save your stamina. Menqi knew that there was a big slope ahead, but he didn't inform me, and he didn't mean to stop.

The resistance to advance has increased, and I have been overwhelmed, but the resistance has not continued to increase, indicating that Mench is still pulling, and there is no intention of giving up.

I can only go on. Lower your head, take a deep breath, and drag your hind legs for a long time. Gradually, the resistance decreased. My legs were as hot as two pieces of iron that had just been taken out of the fire. The hand was completely unconscious. I looked at my palm, and a deep gravure was set in the middle of the palm. I also didn't have much time to appreciate the "fruits of my labor", glanced at it, and immediately put it back on the cart bar.

I thought the nightmare was over. When I poked my head out again to check the road ahead, I almost didn't fall. There is also a larger slope ahead. It is about twenty meters high and seventy meters long. I almost vomited blood.

But Mench still didn't mean to stop, and he didn't remind me that there was a big slope ahead.

After that, close your eyes and push as hard as you can to beat the fat man and the long hair.

Five minutes later, a strange sound was faintly heard, and it felt like something was being pulled tightly.

After another five minutes, I suddenly lost sensation in my legs and I collapsed immediately. I really don't have the strength anymore.

Mench must have noticed the drag getting bigger and the sound of me falling, and asked, "Is it okay?" If not, go to the side of the road and take a break. ”

I rolled over to the side of the road with my shoulders and said, "I'm sorry, I don't want to hold you back."

Mench said, "It's fine."

I lay on the ground and saw that Mench was still pulling.

It's getting darker.

Just now I found that Menqi had untied the rope around his waist and straddled it over his shoulders. The tense sound grew louder and louder.

After ten minutes, I was able to move my hand a little bit. I saw that Mench had only advanced about twenty meters in ten minutes, and I shouted, "Come on, you can't climb up alone, take a break!"

Mench showed no signs of stopping, but ran. Prove that he still has strength.

He had only run for a minute, and when he stopped, he would have fallen to the ground if it hadn't been for the rope pulling him.

Mench's one-minute self-proof didn't yield much. Having only advanced about five meters, and seeing his red head, absolutely exhausted, I said, "Enough is enough, let's take a break, I've done a good job."

Mench didn't answer and moved on.

Twenty minutes later, he finally reached the top of this damn slope. For twenty minutes, I saw his narrow back forced to bend down, and then to stand up again. Really, nothing can stop him except death.

When he made the climb, I was almost recovered, so I went up to help Mench. Of course, he still didn't stop. Not long after I got up, there was a bang, the rope broke, and the cart flew backwards from the top of the slope, directly back to a place more than 80 meters away from the first slope.

Almost an hour of bitterness was wasted.

I looked at the cart that kept sliding down, and I felt like I had aged for decades in an instant. The cart is now almost invisible. And I'm still in a daze.

Mench stepped down, and as he walked past me, I noticed that his shirt had a little blood on his shoulder.

He said, "You're really hardworking."

Mench whispered, "It was my mistake that I chose to take this path."

I said, "It's not all your fault. Let's go down and find it. ”

Menqi said as he walked, "Exactly, it's another three-step reality."

I asked, "What is the three-step reality?"

Menchi replied: "It's the three failures in the early stage of chasing dreams just out of society."

I said, "Here's an example."

Menqi said: "A young man wants to start a business and has just entered the society, and he has taken out all the money he has saved for more than ten years to invest, but then the investment failed and he lost all his money. This is the first failure. ”

I said, "What about the second failure?"

Menchi said: "The young man did not give up, continued to save money to invest, and worked day and night. Then the money was saved, and then it was invested, and then it failed again, and not only did it lose all its money, but it also owed a huge amount of money. This is the second failure. ”

I said, "What about the third time?"

Menchi said: "I finally paid off a huge amount of money, and then I was reused by a company, and my career improved a little, but soon the company suddenly collapsed, the boss absconded, and I took on a bigger debt, and the family and emotional aspects will also be very affected." This is the third failure. ”

I said, "So the further these three failures go on, the worse the failures will be."

Mench said: "Yes, if someone is able to hold on after three very painful failures, as I said, then this person will surely achieve his dreams!" But these three failures do not include all failures, and there will be many more. These three failures are only the three failures that test perseverance, and they are also the three failures that have the greatest psychological impact on people, and these three failures are very important. ”

I asked, "So, will everyone experience these three failures?"

Mench said, "No, no, no, it's just the majority of people, and many people succeed by the second failure, and three times is just the worst scenario."

I said, "Oh, that's right."

After saying that, I just walked to the cart, and the sky was a little brighter.

It took us two hours to get the cart to the hut.

The site of the wooden house is a long-dried riverbed, not far from the bridge in the riverbed. Menchi pointed to a cement house of less than five square meters on the side of a bridge and said that this is where the big and short people live.

I went up to look at their dwelling, which was very small, with only a few nests of dried straw and flower petals all over the ground. The big one is not here, and the short one should have gone after the fairy.

After half an hour's rest, we finished the work from morning to finish, and the cabin was completely built. We were tired and half dead.

Ten minutes after it was built, the big one came back. He said to us calmly, "Yo, it's really built." Is it firm? ”

Menqi said: "Absolutely solid, I built it according to the blueprint given by the manager of the Southern Aurora, and you don't know who he is."

The big man rolled his eyes and shrugged his shoulders: "Huh."

Mench said, "Big one, go and buy some bread from the Southern Lights, we're all going to starve to death."

The big one didn't say anything and just left. Menchi took a lot of dry straw from the other side of the bridge, spread it on the floor of the wooden house, and divided it into four parts. The biggest one is obviously for the big one.

Soon after, the big one returned. Brought back more than 20 loaves of bread and five bottles of wine. Menchi and I finished eating, drank a bottle of wine, and fell asleep.

Halfway through, I heard someone shake me and tell me to get up, and I vaguely remembered that the man's voice was a short one, and I barely squinted my eyes and saw that his face was not very good. It seems that he is still saying: "Get up, there is something urgent!" I remember his expression on his face that was about to cry. But I was so tired that I fell asleep again after hearing this.

After a long time, I heard a loud noise. The ground shook a little, and I was scared into a cold sweat. Widening his eyes, he looked around, saw that nothing was wrong, and went back to sleep.
