Chapter 3, Survival

Lu Zhan saw that they looked at themselves like aliens with stunned expressions, and it was really difficult to explain for a while: Do you want to tell them that you have crossed over? Just as he was thinking about how to respond, Kong Wu came out of the crowd, stared at him and asked, "How did you get down?" How did we not find out? ”

"I—I accidentally fell from above, and when I saw you in a ball, I didn't know what I was doing, so I didn't bother you. I—I have no ill will. ”

Lu Zhan scratched his ears and cheeks, in a hurry, he really couldn't think of any good reason.

"How long has it been?"

"It's been half an hour."

"Half an hour?" Kong Wu looked puzzled.

"Well, a quarter of an hour, about a quarter of an hour." Lu Zhan hurriedly changed his words, thinking in his heart: If they were ancients, they might not know how long "half an hour" was.

"How did you fall from above and not get hurt?" Zhao He walked over and looked at him suspiciously.

"Why is there no trace on the ground?" Lees asked.

"Why are you dressed like this? The hair is gone, so he can't be a death row inmate, right? Wang Hu frowned, he couldn't figure out how a person would dress up like Lu Zhan - it was too shocking.

"Don't be afraid, we don't have any ill will." Zhang Shan seemed to see that Lu Zhan was a little flustered and scared, and said something to dispel his concerns.

"I fell right on this pile of straw, and you were so focused on your business that you didn't notice me, so there was no mark on the ground. I had to dress up like this, because I was cut off by a wicked man, and I got this nondescript outfit to wear......"

In the face of their repeated inquiries, Lu Zhan's brain turned quickly, and at the same time, he watched his words and expressions to see if they would show signs of a big fight, but fortunately, they didn't seem to have the intention of beating him.

"Hehe, there is another person to die with us, we don't know whether to be happy or sad." Listening to his explanation, Zhou Si was skeptical, shook his head and retreated to the corner.

"Alas, sympathy." Zhao He sighed.

"I see that you have a short life, because broken hair is like a broken head, and now that the hair is gone, the broken head is not far away." Wang Hu shook his head and said, looking at Lu Zhan's eyes full of pity.

"Don't listen to his nonsense, the hair will grow back when it breaks. None of us will necessarily die, because as long as we succeed in drilling wood for fire, there is still a glimmer of life. Zhang Shan plucked up confidence and said.

"Yes, Shanzi is right, as long as we succeed in drilling wood to make fire, we will not die, and our family will be fine. Now, while everyone is not very hungry and still has some strength, we take turns to drill wood...... Zhao He, you go up first, drill for a quarter of an hour. Kong Wu looked at Lu Zhan, the strange man, and didn't speak for a while, and suddenly continued Zhang Shan's words.

Zhao He thought for a while, nodded, walked to the tool used to drill wood in a few steps, squatted down, and began to work. "Hohoho ......"

The rest of the people thought that everyone's fate was on the line, and they no longer asked Lu Zhan questions, and surrounded the past, hoping for a miracle.

Seeing that they didn't do anything to him, Lu Zhan sighed, thinking that he had really crossed over with his own horse, was this a blessing or a curse?

Half an hour ago, he was still walking on the streets of H City in southern China, enjoying a unique beauty brought by the scorching summer: many young and beautiful girls and women wore refreshing clothes, revealing large arms, amputated thighs, slender waists, navels, etc., so that the city wolves feasted their eyes.

Lu Zhan is no exception: if you don't see it in vain, you don't see it in vain.

July 2012. After graduating from university, 22-year-old Lu Zhan found a job as an assistant manager in a large supermarket called Tianlan in H City, and the salary was not very high, but Lu Zhan cherished it very much -- in today's era when college students are everywhere and it is more difficult to find a job than migrant workers, he has learned to accept his surname and not pick and choose.

After a month of hard work, his performance won the approval of his manager. One day in August, the manager gave him a task: to do a market research, to see how the public evaluated Sky Blue, what needs to be improved in Sky Blue, etc., conditions, at least 1,000 people should be surveyed, and the deadline was three days to complete, and if he did well, he might be given a raise.

After hearing this, Lu Zhan had mixed feelings: If you do it well, of course it is good, but if you don't do it well, looking at the manager's deep eyes, it means don't come in the future.

For this reason, he worked hard to go out early and return late for three days, no matter who it was: men, women and children, farmers, hawkers, students, white-collar workers, drivers, municipal personnel, leaders, bosses, and so on, all kinds of people investigated and finally completed the work successfully on the afternoon of the third day, and the number of people surveyed exceeded 10 people, a total of 1,010 people.

After completing the task, he walked on the street, refreshed, and his eyes wandered around the beautiful mm in various colors from time to time, which was pleasing to the eye. When passing by a used book stall, he saw a book as thick as a Xinhua dictionary of Jin Yong's martial arts novels for sale, although he knew that it was pirated, he still bought two large copies on a whim: covering "Flying Snow Shoots White Deer in the Sky, Laughing Book Hero Leans on the Blue Duck" 14 popular novels.

For him, buying novels is all about saving money: choosing to read books as an after-work pastime will save a lot of money. Now he is still a "six no" man - no money, no car, no house, no power, no power, no power, no girlfriend, only to make more money, and save money at the same time, in order to subtract the "two nos": rich, have a girlfriend - in today's society, as a man, you have no money, will girls go out with you? If it's a problem to watch a movie and eat a meal, which girl will follow you?

The day of the summer, the child's face.

On the way back, the sky gradually changed, the original blue sky dense clouds piled up from everywhere, the wind increased, and the scenery trees on both sides of the street "rattled". The pedestrians on the road were more hurried, as if they were afraid of being rained.

"Would you love me without money, a word from the bottom of my heart......"

Ten minutes later, just as Lu Zhan was about to walk under the building he rented, his mobile phone rang.

"Hey, Liu Jing, what's the matter with me?"

He took out a phablet from his trouser pocket and pressed the answer button, he said with a slightly surprised face.

"Looking for you to watch a movie...... Lu Zhan, can't I look for you if I'm fine? ”

The other party asked rhetorically in a crisp and pleasant voice.

Liu Jing is his colleague, in charge of sales, a quiet girl who is not particularly beautiful but definitely not ugly, twenty years old, with long hair in a shawl, fair skin, 165 cm tall, slender figure, and very curvy. Although she usually looks quite quiet, Lu Zhan once heard that as soon as she arrives at KTV, she will become Maiba and become the empress.

Lu Zhan remembered that when he saw her for the first time, he felt that the way she looked at herself was different from that of others, and there was a different kind of affection in it. As time passed, he felt it more and more. But because he had no money, he didn't take the initiative to pursue others, and on the one hand, he was afraid that she would be chased by others.

Unexpectedly, the other party actually called him to invite him to watch a movie, how unhappy did he be?

"No, no, you can come to me anytime, happy and honored."

Lu Zhan hurriedly smiled.

"It's pretty much the same, but there has to be a condition."

"What conditions, you say."

"Watch a movie, I'm in for a treat, you pay, how about it? Giggle......"

"Oh, that's as it should be, because it's a great honor for me to be willing to show your face."

"Hmph, Flim Flam. I'll call you after work, and you'll pick me up when the time comes. ”

"Good ......"

"Boom-" At this moment, the sky that had become black suddenly exploded, and a lightning bolt burst through the black curtain like a dragon, rushing straight down, and when it reached mid-air, it suddenly split into two, forming an inverted shape, one side slashed towards Lu Zhan's head, and the other side swept into the distance.

Before Lu Zhan came back to his senses, he felt that his mobile phone had become a soldering iron, and then his whole body was numb, and then his eyes were blank and his mind was blank...... When my consciousness gradually became blurred, I seemed to hear the aunt watching the house exclaiming: "Hey, 110?" Oh no, someone has been struck by lightning, come on...... Where is it? At No. 56 Wuyou Street, Zixu District......"

……

"Ah--this time we're dead, it's useless, it's futile to drill, we just don't make a fire."

A cry of pain came, waking Lu Zhan up from his memory, and he raised his eyes to look at Kong Wu and them, all of them like defeated roosters, dejected and listless.

Remembering what the young soldier had said, "I know your retribution is coming soon: if you can't drill wood to make fire, you have to die in this pit......" Lu Zhan clasped his hands violently and shouted in his heart: "I can't die, I don't want to die if I have a girlfriend soon, and I don't want to die just after I cross over......"
