Chapter 121: Unforgettable Events
At that time, Xiao Mao went to the water's edge at almost twelve o'clock in the evening to lurk and observe, observed for about three hours, and moved three places. The lake doesn't make waves, and after staying up in the middle of the night, Xiao Mao is a little unbearable and sleepy. However, people who are used to running outside have a stronger immunity to drowsiness, so he wants to hold on until dawn, and in any case, he can go back to the boss to give an errand.
By three o'clock in the morning, Xiao Mao wanted to get up and change places. Before he could move, there was a gentle sound of water on the surface of the water not far away.
After three hours of guarding, there was no abnormality, so as soon as this slight sound of water came, it immediately attracted Xiao Mao's attention. He quickly lay on the ground and glanced in the direction where the sound of water was coming from.
In the haze, he saw a man emerge from the water, paddling lightly, and swimming to the shore. At that time, Xiao Mao was less than thirty years old, his experience was not as rich as it is now, and his psychological quality was not as good as it is now, because the boss told him about the blood pottery, so when he saw the shadow coming out of the water, Xiao Mao was a little flustered.
He didn't move, he didn't make a sound, he wanted to see it. Anyway, the water's edge is only about a hundred meters away from the camp, and if it really comes to the point where you can't clean it up, say it on the intercom, and the night watchman over there will rush over.
Xiao Mao remained silent and continued to observe. The figure in the water slowly crawled to the shore, half-crouched, and shook the water from his hair.
At this time, Xiao Mao fainted.
He saw the man squatting on the shore, who was his boss.
Xiao Mao felt very strange, since the boss handed over the task of squatting here to himself, what did the boss come over to do in the middle of the night? Moreover, the boss came out of the water, which means that the boss must have entered the water somewhere else and then landed from here.
Xiao Mao wasn't sure what to do for a while, but he still didn't say anything. He has been with the boss for so many years, and he has some of his own experiences, and he feels that if the boss does something alone, it means that the boss doesn't want anyone to know, so Xiaomao plans to pretend to be deaf and dumb.
The boss squatted at the water's edge for a moment, then stood up and took a few steps ahead, scanning left and right to the side, he should have been looking towards the camp. The number of people in the team was large, and more than a dozen tents were set up, as well as piles of drinking water, food, and various equipment.
Xiao Mao saw the boss's actions and thought that there was something wrong with the camp? Otherwise, how could the boss sneak up on the camp from here?
After about a few minutes, the boss slowly walked in the direction of the camp, he walked very carefully, although it was still far from the camp, his steps were very light.
Xiao Mao was confused, and when he looked at it, he never understood what the boss meant.
Just as he was at a loss, a man walked over from the camp. Seeing that the camp was crowded, the boss immediately stopped and stood straight in place.
The people who came from the camp walked very fast, and by the time they were almost at a brisk pace. He walked fast, the distance kept getting closer, and when the people from the camp were about to walk to the boss, Xiao Mao couldn't help but feel dizzy again, and he couldn't even believe his eyes.
He clearly saw that the person who came from the camp was also the boss.
As a person who has followed him for more than ten years, Xiao Mao will definitely not admit his mistake, but his shock and astonishment are beyond words. He always thought that the person who climbed up from the water was his boss, however, the person who came over from the camp was also the boss, and Xiao Mao couldn't figure out what was going on for a while.
But he still remained conscious, and the only difference between the two bosses now was that the boss who crawled out of the water had wet clothes, while the boss who came from the camp had dry clothes.
It's a very clumsy way to distinguish between them, but other than that, Xiao Mao really can't see any difference between the two bosses.
The two bosses soon met, a few meters apart, each staring at each other. They didn't say a word, and even their eyes seemed to be frozen, but between the two of them, there seemed to be a heavy murderous aura.
Immediately afterwards, the two bosses made their moves in unison, as if they saw their own enemies of life and death, and as soon as they came up, they took out a desperate posture, and the fight was inseparable.
Xiao Mao had never encountered such a paradoxical thing, he wanted to call someone, but as soon as his mind changed, he felt that it was very inappropriate to call someone over. Even he couldn't tell which was the real boss, and the other people in the team couldn't tell the difference, not only could they not help, but it would cause even more riots.
The more the two of them fight, the more fierce they become, there is no rule at all, just like the two red-eyed people, they just care about their hard work, and they will use any tricks. They were originally very close to the water's edge, but when the fight was hot, the two of them got together and fell into the water.
When they fell into the water, they still refused to give up. Constantly rolling and struggling in the water, followed by two people hugging and sinking underwater.
Xiao Mao panicked suddenly, stood up suddenly, and ran to the water's edge. Where the two people sank into the water, there was only a shallow whirlpool left, and there was no shadow of a person in sight. Xiao Mao panicked, and looked at it on tiptoe for almost a minute, but no one showed his head. He felt that it was not a matter to go on like this, two identical bosses, one of them must be true, if the situation continued like this, then the real boss would also be dragged to death in the water.
Xiao Mao had no other choice, and immediately took out the walkie-talkie, wanting to call someone. But as soon as his hand touched the walkie-talkie, there was a bang on the water, and someone surfaced.
Two people fell into the water, but only one floated up. Xiao Mao had already stood up, and when the other party surfaced, he saw Xiao Mao. Xiao Mao didn't hide anymore, he stared intently at the person, and at the same time stared at the surrounding water.
But after two or three minutes, the surrounding water was still quiet. Xiao Mao felt very strange, even if he died in the water, the body would definitely float up.
But in the blink of an eye, Xiao Mao understood in his heart that if another person couldn't float, it would prove that he might never appear again.
Two bosses, only one remains. Originally, Xiao Mao's evidence of distinguishing them was that there was a person who was wet, but now, the only evidence has disappeared. Xiao Mao couldn't tell at all whether the boss who came out of the water at that time or ran from the camp.
The boss in the water stayed for a few minutes and swam to the water's edge. Then he called Xiao Mao over, and he told Xiao Mao that today's events must not be told to anyone.
There is no doubt that the boss knows that Xiao Mao witnessed the whole process. When he warned Xiao Mao not to spread the word, Xiao Mao could see that the boss's eyes revealed a hint of murderous intent.
The boss took Xiao Mao back to the camp as if nothing had happened, and he dried his clothes by the fire, chatting with Xiao Mao while baking his clothes. Xiao Mao couldn't detect any flaws in the boss, whether it was his voice or the tone of his speech, including the accent, it was exactly the same as before, there was no difference.
At that time, Xiao Mao knew that he was facing two choices, either he believed that the person in front of him was the boss he had followed for more than ten years, or he had to think that the real boss died in the water, and the one in front of him was an impostor.
His feelings were very conflicted, he felt that this person was very much like a real boss, but in the dark, when Xiao Mao looked at the other party, his heart was like a thorn, which was very uncomfortable.
Only Xiao Mao knew about this matter, although he had a little suspicion, he didn't tell anyone.
At dawn, the lake suddenly swelled, very fast, and threatened the camp. Everyone started to move in a hurry, and Xiao Mao felt that Ta'er Lake was not connected to some underground water systems, and the water level of the lake was regulated by the amount of water in the underground water system.
After the people in the team moved the camp to a distant place, the boss asked people to prepare and prepare to retreat. At that time, not only Xiao Mao, but even other people felt that this operation was a very failure, there was no gain, and the preparation was so sufficient, but it was not long after arriving here that they had to withdraw.
Some things that are not needed, the boss has people deal with them on the spot, including those sets of bulky old-fashioned scuba, all buried near Ta'er Lake. The team retreated lightly and soon left Taal Lake.
Since that time, Xiao Mao has felt that the relationship between him and his boss seems to have undergone subtle changes. The boss still trusts Xiao Mao very much, as in the past, chat with him when he has nothing to do, and let Xiao Mao do it when he has important tasks. However, a few years have passed, and Xiao Mao still can't tell whether his boss is the boss in the past.
If there is no Ta'er Lake, then Xiao Mao will definitely die for the boss. It is because of these changes that Xiao Mao feels that his situation may not be good, so to speak, he is very contradictory. He thought about leaving quietly, but he was afraid that the current boss would still be the previous boss, and if he stayed, he was afraid that the current boss would not be the previous boss.
He couldn't tell if he had made a mistake in his observation, anyway, when the boss chatted with him several times, he revealed that murderous intent that was not there.
In the end, Xiao Mao couldn't bear this pressure anymore, and when the boss gave him the task of Hu Yanghe's old way, Xiao Mao asked the boss that after doing this, he wanted to wash his hands. The boss didn't keep it, and he didn't feel embarrassed, so he agreed at that time.
But Xiao Mao didn't know if the boss would attack him after he really did this. Starting from Taer Lake, the boss is full of uncertainty for Xiao Mao.
It's just that in the end, Xiao Mao still went back to the business without hesitation and met the boss again. The boss didn't break his promise and let him wash his hands and quit, and Xiao Mao didn't get into trouble for so long afterwards.
Even so, Xiao Mao is still confused, and he is still not 100% sure whether this boss is still the previous boss.
Because of this, and when Xiao Mao and I were on an adventure together, he felt that I was more righteous, so he confided in these things.
