Chapter 2: Dedicated Actors?
Everything in the world has a cause and must have an effect. Businessmen know how to do charity and understand the value of investment. And smart businessmen know how to praise their opponents for creating opportunities and praise their subordinates for winning people's hearts, because emotional investment is the cheapest commodity and the highest rate of return. He always thought so. Perhaps because he was born in a family that lacked love, there are only two people who have been able to enter Wang Xu's heart in the past 32 years, one is his deceased grandfather, and the other is his wife Yunnuo. Sick emotional cognition, making it difficult for others to approach. Seriously autistic, he just wants to run his own small world, and he doesn't want to provoke too many feelings of right and wrong, and even taking the initiative to interact with people in business activities is just a show. If you have a choice, you would rather live in seclusion in the valley and live a leisurely life under the east fence of picking chrysanthemums and seeing Nanshan. Maybe this is the subconscious, the real thought of his heart, which he has not thought deeply about.
In just one day, the goods worth 200 million yuan were snapped up due to a wave of shocking price cuts, and the merchants did not have time to complain about the brain-dead behavior of the supplier. I just want to recover my losses by stimulating consumption, and if I am lucky, I can make huge profits. The initial sales price was set at a 20% discount, and later the buy one get one free, buy two get one free campaign swept the entire Jiangsu market like the spread of the virus. The far-sighted and fast-cutting merchants withdrew early, and those melon-eating people who sat and watched their competitors die, never expected that the chain reaction caused by this price reduction turmoil would be so serious and long. It wasn't until my own goods were unsalable and were about to expire that I woke up like a dream. Subsequently, peers rushed to reduce prices and sell goods, which has become an irreversible turbulent wave, tens of thousands of people are unemployed, hundreds of enterprises in the industrial chain have closed down, and many businessmen have committed suicide by jumping off buildings. The public opinion aroused directly pointed at the A brand manufacturers, those who did not get a return through bribery, but were unprovoked into the whirlpool of profiteers began to attack, and Fang Zhongyang, the chairman of the A brand, was arrested and imprisoned for taking huge bribes. When the truth of the matter was made public, and the person who was hidden behind the scenes and the perpetrator was dug up, public opinion was in an uproar. Because... The man was long dead. The day after the retaliatory price reduction, he was accidentally killed in a car accident on the way to Shanghai Hongqiao Airport. Later, it was revealed by the media that the person did not die immediately after the car accident, but was deliberately murdered, stabbed several times and died due to excessive blood loss and ineffective rescue. It was a sensation all over the country for a while.
Everyone will have a moment of vulnerability, and they will choose to use alcohol to paralyze, madness to liberate, or self-defeating sinking. And all this, human beings think that the behavior is produced by the subjective consciousness, but they do not know that the brain is protecting itself and blocking the instructions given by negative emotions in the subconscious. In the dark, the master of all things can give life to machines through artificial intelligence, serve the intelligent life forms of all mankind, and write programs that perfectly control everything. Enjoy the feeling of dominating the world and being on top. It's ridiculous that his life is quietly arranged by fate. Parallel time and space, each reincarnation, is just showing the same plot, the only difference is the curtain as the background, whether it is color or black and white.
"Ahem... Ahem..."
In the dim hole**, a crackling sound can be faintly heard. It was a stone pit with firewood burning with a little moisture. The black soot smokes the surrounding pebbles like charred potatoes. The man lying on the stone bed was apparently choked. He was a little dazed, and his palms ran his palms around the fur mattress. The eyes keep opening and then closing. After a long time, I was stunned when I looked at the stone stalactites on the top of the cave.
"Caverns? It can't be that the matter is exposed, Yun Nuo ran away with me, right? Hehe. β
Ridiculous ideas are fleeting. Wang Xu clearly remembers being stabbed several times, so that the sound of his left chest rib cracking can be heard. Suffering such a heavy blow, how can you survive if you are not admitted to the hospital for rescue? His wife categorically did not care about his life and death, and ran away with Wang Xu. He couldn't help but laugh out loud at the thought of this, and after a moment, there was a frantic cough, and it felt like his lungs were about to come out. The black smoke billowed from the scene of a fire, and he swore that the cigarettes he had smoked in the past eight years combined were not as much dust as he was now inhaling in his lungs. Just as he was about to get up and flee for his life, a dark shadow suddenly flashed in front of him. was so scared that he almost fainted, but fortunately, as a businessman who had experienced the baptism of wind and frost, there was still a recuperation without being shocked. Wang Xu quickly calmed down the little heart that was unusually active after being frightened, and asked calmly, "Who?" β
"Wake up. The slave and maid pay a visit to the young king. β
There was immaturity and respect in her voice, like a minor girl. The firelight of the cave ** appeared from time to time, and it was difficult to identify the appearance of the other party, and I vaguely saw a large mass of things lying on the side of the stone bed. Wang Xu moved his body to lean in and observe clearly.
"The young gentleman is sick, he is still resting, and he should not move."
The girl seemed to sense that Wang Xu wanted to get up, so she opened her mouth to dissuade her. However, the words he said were a little strange, Wang Xu was confused, and he had a feeling of being in a different world, and before he could ask the reason, the girl had disappeared at the entrance of the cave. From a distance, his bloated and huge body resembled a bear, and he was stunned, feeling that his jaw was instantly unconscious, and he was about to fall. Maybe it was because he had hallucinated after lying down for too long, but he comforted himself like this, lying silently on the bed, and he didn't feel choked by the smoke.
The depth of the cave is extremely wide, and the light in the fire pond can only illuminate the distance of three zhang, and further away it is pitch black. The entrance to the cave is exceptionally bright, and it should be daytime. One side of the stone bed is stacked with large and small wooden boxes, which stretch until they are out of sight. It seems that this is a temporary warehouse, and Wang Xu feels extremely strange when he looks at the wooden box of red lacquerware next to the bed. There are still people imitating antiques these days? Decorating wooden boxes with bronze trim? The pale green rust looks like a cultural relic. I don't know where the brain-dead is so carefully arranged, could it be that he is ready to play a treasure hunt with him? He had all the possibilities in his mind, but this time he miscalculated.
A few hours later, the moment Wang Xu dragged his weak body out of the cave, he felt that his three views were completely ruined. At first, I was surprised that I was wearing clothes like a skirt, and then I touched my long hair that was loose, wondering how long it had been in a coma to grow my hair to my waist? When he touched his stubble-free chin, he found that his skin was ridiculously white and tender, and he even began to suspect that someone had turned him into a shemale while he was unconscious. After the examination, I exhaled deeply.
"Xia Yunnuo! Are you kidding me? Just for 200 million, as for the whole body plastic surgery? β
It's scary to think about, isn't it just forcing those people to be cornered. Isn't the wife afraid of this? He was given a new skin without his consent. The fingers carefully pinched the skin on the face, as if to test the fit of the face, afraid that a fake face would collapse inadvertently. He has also seen those stars who have failed plastic surgery. The mixed business circle can be mixed with plastic surgery, if this matter spreads, how can he meet people? Thinking about it, his wife was also well-intentioned. Forget it, don't care. He carefully opened the placket of his shirt and examined the wound on his left chest. The scar had healed, and I always felt that something strange was there, so I pressed it cheaply, grinning in pain.
"Hey! Careless woman. The whole body is whole, and I don't know how to connect the bones? This..."
Looking at the obvious depression in the left chest, a strange feeling of extreme imbalance. Wang Xu only felt extremely sad in his heart, and endured the pain and pressed it a few times. Immediately froze, and all previous speculations that followed the logic collapsed. Judging from the healing of the scar, it is only a dozen days, and it takes a few years to grow waist-length hair, which is obviously asymmetrical in time. Then the girl who had spoken to him returned with a hare, and Wang Xu was instantly messy, followed by a collapse. He didn't believe that the so-called stupid thing of crossing would fall on his head, it was nothing more than someone deliberately tricking him, and he invited a very dedicated actor to play the savage girl, and her acting skills were quite good, and she couldn't communicate with her with a standard Chinese language. Wang Xu, who was anxious to escape and wanted to verify it, fainted in a bamboo forest after running a hundred meters outside the cave.
When I woke up again, the cave was still filled with smoke that could choke people. The naked upper body is tied with yellowed strips of linen, exuding a faint scent of grass, and the loose bandaging technique is unbearable to look at. Thinking back to what happened before, I seem calmer at the moment. He got up and searched for his shirt, fumbling for a long time but finding nothing. I thought it was the girl with superb acting skills who was afraid that he would leave, so she hid. So he casually touched a piece of fur and wrapped it around his body, preparing to continue his escape. Maybe it was because I was already used to the feeling of wearing a skirt when I was unconscious, and I took a few steps before I noticed a whirring sound behind my buttocks, and a cool breeze was blowing. When I walked to the bright place at the entrance of the cave, I was suddenly stupid, and the retro skirt on my body turned out to be one. The blouse hung all the way back to the waist, but it was not found. Dressed indiscriminately, and didn't pay attention to the fur that was thrown aside. When the afterglow swept, he was dumbfounded, it was actually a tiger skin. After a moment of incredulity, Wang Xu carefully examined it. This tiger skin is actually real, such a large one, complete without any damage to the fur, which can be called the top grade.
"Hunt tigers... At least three or five years in prison, right? That's a lot of fun, isn't it? β
Reason told him that no one would be stupid enough to put on such a play in order to fix him. As long as he is still in China for a day, he and Fang Zhongyang are grasshoppers on a rope, once the other party falls off the horse, he will be dragged into the water and sentenced to life imprisonment... It's definitely not going to run. At this moment, he wants to die and be killed by someone for revenge, at least his wife can benefit from a large amount of compensation from the insurance company, which is enough for a carefree life for the rest of his life, and he does not have to drift overseas to hide. It was harder to get him to accept reality than to kill him. Looking around, the rolling mountains are tightly surrounded, and the low mountains are not too high. He decided to go down the mountain first and then look for a way out, so he hurried in the direction of the lower terrain. At first, he smiled and ran all the way with excitement. He didn't pay attention to the scene around him at all, and soon the eerie horror of the deep mountains and old forests made his heart palpitate. Towering ancient trees can be seen everywhere, I am afraid that four or five people can hug the trunk of the tree, where is there such a place in modern times?
"Don't be afraid, not afraid. It's already dead once, what's so scary? β
While comforting himself, he hummed a nasty tune to strengthen his courage. After about an hour, there was no road ahead. In front of him was a cliff with a stone wall as if it had been split by a giant axe, and although it was not too high compared to the low mountain, it was four stories high. The bottom is full of rubble, and if you accidentally fall down, the consequences are self-evident. At this time, if you go back the same way and are touched by the actor, it will be embarrassing. The first time he ran away and fainted, he was rescued and taken care of. After waking up, I didn't thank the other party and continued to escape, but I didn't come to save this time, but I had to go back with a fart, and I felt ashamed when I thought about it.
"It's easier to go out, so... Just get lost. β
I don't even believe in such nonsense. Isn't it too much to deceive a little girl? Wang Xu pondered and meditated, anxious to find a step down. In the silence of the mountain forest, a group of birds suddenly startled. The sound of falling leaves being slightly trampled on was so real. The hairs all over his body stood up as if he had been electrocuted. With all kinds of horror movie pictures that scared people to death, his body turned sharply.
"Erha? Wrong... It's a wolf..."
The hungry wolf who was following behind Wang Xu was startled by his sudden turn. Instantly showed a ridiculous expression like a joke, and hurriedly ran back a few steps, but stared at him deadly, letting out a low whine. The pleasing Erha face immediately became hideous, and Wang Xu was shocked and hurriedly squatted down. Flapping his hands on the ground looking for something to use as a weapon, nothing but a few pieces of rubble and fallen leaves. I have the impression that wolves come in packs to hunt their prey. Why does this strange wolf follow alone? He suddenly felt that when people were unlucky, even a lone wolf came to despise him. He didn't believe that he would be bullied by a wolf as a big living person. If you don't beat the out, you don't know how terrible human beings are. I thought so in my heart, but my honest body squatted in place and didn't dare to move. The hungry wolf posed for a long time, seemed a little tired, and also squatted in place and did not move to confront him.
"Dogs are afraid of cats, and wolves are afraid of squatting. I don't believe you're not afraid of me? Kind of coming? β
Wang Xu firmly believed in the wisdom summarized by his predecessors, as long as he squatted and did not move, the wolf would not dare to attack. But he didn't expect that the current wolf still doesn't know what a gun is? Not to mention fear? His provocative actions provoked serious discontent on the other side. The hungry wolf rushed out, Wang Xu was shocked into a cold sweat, and when he got up, he didn't stand firm and sat on the ground. Maybe it's because of the numbness in my legs and feet after squatting for too long, and the tension is extreme, and my lower body doesn't obey the call, and I can't stop shaking. In a panic, the stone thrown at the hungry wolf lost its accuracy and missed it. What's worse is... He threw it all in one go, and then had to fight the wolf with his bare hands.
"Help!"
Spread out his arms and waved, shielding the face door to protect his fragile neck, and kicked wildly with both legs. The whole person rolled in place, kicking up a cloud of dust, as if he was about to turn around. There is a hungry wolf in front of you, and there is a cliff in the back, and you are glad that you survived yesterday, but today you will be buried in the wolf's mouth, and the bitterness in your heart is indescribable. I wasn't so scared when I was stabbed. Shouting for help, shouting hoarsely, nothing but fear in my head... Or fear.
"Is the young gentleman okay? Can it be returned to slaves and maids? β
When Wang Xu was awakened by this familiar voice, the hungry wolf had been rolled on the ground with a feather arrow piercing through his waist and ribs, and he seemed to have the same painting style as Wang Xu. Ever since he stepped out of the cave, the girl had been following quietly. The disguise along the way is more professional than the wolf, if the wolf brother knows that there is a yellow finch behind him, it is estimated that he would rather be reincarnated in the next life to do Erha than do this solitary robbery business. The girl bowed to the ground, covered in bloated fur that looked like a pom-pom. After a while, she got up to support Wang Xu, and a sour smell hit her face, so that Wang Xu almost retched, almost ruining the gentlemanly demeanor that the uncle had worked hard to maintain for his life-saving benefactor. Wang Xu smiled awkwardly at the girl, but the other party lowered his head and did not dare to look at her. Then the girl carried the wolf corpse and walked in front to lead the way, and Wang Xu followed closely behind, for fear of being attacked by wild beasts again. Silent along the way, looking at the girl's back and starting infinite reverie.
A person who can disguise tracking, archery skills comparable to that of an athlete... Will you mix in the entertainment industry? Perhaps this was not enough to convince him to believe it. But how many dedicated actors can stink like this without taking a bath for a long time, and use their lives to act? If you are still not convinced, carrying an adult wolf weighing nearly 100 pounds, walking for an hour, a female artist who can't breathe. Who the has seen it?
Back outside the cave, after seeing the girl's skillful skill of skinning and deboning. Wang Xu finally believed that this world was a little different from his previous cognition, at least the women here were not ordinary, more like monsters.
The girl calls herself Aji, and she is always busy coming and going, and she doesn't know what she is busy with? Whenever Wang Xu approached, the little girl would bow down respectfully and continue to be busy. She rarely takes the initiative to talk, and only knows how to do things like a machine. Wang Xu can see when the other party should cook, when to go out hunting or dig some unpalatable wild vegetables to come back. There is a pattern to be found in these things. The little girl seemed to deliberately avoid him, and sometimes meditated outside the cave, sitting cross-legged for two or three hours. couldn't run, Wang Xu could only accept his fate, try to communicate with the girl, and figure out where he was first?
"Little girl! Over here... What is it? β
"Shaojun, slave Aji."
"Oh... Little girl, can you tell me? β
The girl bowed down respectfully, and the close contact made her feel very crisis, and she didn't dare to look up.
"Aji doesn't dare! The slave and the maid are a slave, saved by the monarch's mother, from the young king. Please call the slaves, Aji. β
Wang Xu himself is a severe obsessive-compulsive person, especially symmetry. Unfortunately, I encountered a word-picking obsessive-compulsive disorder, which was more serious than him, and this was the first time I encountered it in my life. I can't help but feel sympathy.
"Aji..."
"Shaojun, this Yunmeng Mountain, also known as Nuwa Mountain, is in the territory of Weiqi."
Based on Wang Xu's knowledge of geography, he has never heard of a place with Yunmeng Mountain or Nuwa Mountain? And what the hell is Wei Qi? He didn't know. After a look of confusion, he drew a map of China on the ground with a truncated branch. Motioning to Aj to point out where they were. The girl lay on the ground and looked at it again, and after thinking hard, she replied:
"Chickens? Do you want to eat meat? β
I felt like I was instantly hit with 10,000 points of critical damage, and I drew a map and said it so clearly, I was misunderstood into such a field. Suddenly, I had the feeling that when I first came to study abroad, international students at that time invented a great way of communication - body language. So much so that when I communicate with people after returning home, I will always dance unnaturally. Wang Xu started to perform, since he didn't know where he was, he could at least ask why he came here, right? He ripped off the collar and pointed to the wound on his chest, and the girl finally understood.
"The Jin people plundered, and the young monarch was injured by the arrows in order to save the mountain people, and he was lost for two days."
Verbal communication disorders, such as stabbing in the throat. If he can go back, this unforgettable experience will definitely arouse Wang Xu's interest in the study of classical Chinese. He didn't mind signing up for a cram school and taking a fourth or sixth grade exam by the way. When I heard the words "Jin people", my heart jumped, and my first reaction was to return to the two Jin periods. The absurd thought was fleeting, thinking that either the girl was crazy or he was crazy. It's just that crazy people don't know it and think they're not crazy. I can't help but admire myself for thinking casually, with dialectical philosophical logic. She said her, anyway, believe it or not, it's up to you. Therefore, it is particularly important to be able to ask what era it is. The conversation between the two was really laborious, and Wang Xu took his body language to the extreme, except for dancing and singing. After racking his brains, he suddenly felt like a divine help.
"Aji! What is this world? β
He thought that he had memorized "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring" when he was in school, and he couldn't help but feel proud. Wang Xu is afraid that he will forget that the communication between the two is to hurt each other, not unilaterally destroy. When the girl heard that the other party finally said something, she looked up at him excitedly. Fluffy and withered long hair, hiding a petite face, and wearing an animal skin mask on the left side of the face. The double pupils are cut water, and there is a hint of aura in the brightness, which is incompatible with the dull appearance of Mu Ne.
"Color!"
Aji uttered a word, as if hoping to end the terrible questioning process. used a cheer to express that he finally understood Wang Xu's words. This sudden fright made Wang Xu's soul scatter.
"Asai... Color, your sister! So loud, I'm not deaf. β
Wang Xu unconsciously reprimanded loudly, which made the soft-spoken little girl panic, and she didn't dare to raise her head on the ground again. Seeing Aji's appearance, I only felt that it was more real than this naΓ―ve little girl, and it seemed that the more she lived, the more she went back. Wang Xu thought about how to organize her poor classical Chinese vocabulary to express her apologies and ask her to get up and stop bowing. But I heard Aji say respectfully:
"Aji is the youngest daughter of the family, but she is a sister, and she has no sister."
The whole face collapsed in an instant, distorted like the appearance of the hungry wolf posing before. At this time, he was 100% sure that the girl named Aji was not crazy, but her IQ was in a hurry. And he's going to be absolutely crazy, because Aji is too upright to tell lies. Can... If it was true, Wang Xu couldn't accept the facts, so he could only go crazy.
