Chapter 10: Charles

"So, you're really safe?" The man asked.

"It was daytime, the sun was out, and if it was night or higher on the cliff, it would definitely be dead." I'll keep making it up, except for the mysterious man, I know the details.

"Now that you have a salary of 300,000, do you want to earn it?" He asked.

"Who are you Ouyang Xiong?" I washed my hands, lit a cigarette, leaned against the table, and looked at him.

"You know him?" He was a little surprised.

I shook my head. "I saw it on Weibo."

"My name is Charles, I like extreme adventure sports, and this time I am responsible for the preparation of Ouyang Qingqing's salvage work. His father invited me to go on a sinkhole expedition with Ouyang Qingqing a year ago. ”

"What is a sinkhole?"

"It's a naturally formed bottomless puddle that is said to be the entrance to hell." I don't believe what he said, there is no hell, pretending to be a god and making me feel like I'm awesome.

"Aren't you Chinese? Don't have a name? ”

"Hundred Winds!"

I frowned and thought about it for a long time, except for what Baili Xi was in history, I really haven't heard of anyone with the surname this. "A million of hundreds? And this surname? ”

"My family immigrated to the U.S. very early." He said.

"Tell me, what's the job?" I asked. "If you take the hanging coffin, you don't have to talk about it."

"I brought a diving team with the most advanced diving equipment in the world, you just go down with them, you don't have to do anything."

"If I dare to go down, I won't earn that 10 million, I want to earn your 300,000?" I don't have the pleasure of saying that this is more than taking the hanging coffin. I don't want to pay attention to him, continue to wash the vegetables, and fill my stomach is the right thing.

"You don't have to do anything, just follow along. Just borrow your blessings. ”

"You came back from abroad, do you still believe this?" I asked with a sneer.

"I'm cautious in what I do, it's better to believe than not to believe, 300,000 is not much, just buy peace of mind, if you don't want to, then forget it."

I ignored him, and he didn't leave, lit a white-mouthed Marlboro, and stood in front of the window to watch the scenery. This guy is really interesting, he looks talented, but he has a problem with his brain. I had ordered the eviction, but he seemed to make it his home.

"Why don't you go and eat here? I didn't do you. I muttered.

"I'll give you 10,000 yuan, you give me points, and then tell your story." After he finished speaking, he put 10,000 yuan on the dining table.

"What's the story?" I asked, looking at the 10,000 yuan, I was very excited.

"The story of your birth."

"This is what Xiong Lao Liu told you?"

"Yes, I'm naturally curious, the village chief runs the train with his mouth, I don't believe what he said, so I want to come to the door to verify it in person."

I looked at the 10,000 yuan on the table, thought for ten seconds, and then turned around and turned on the rice cooker, the water inside was just a little hot, the rice had not moved, I quickly added some more rice, and also took out a piece of pork belly in the Xiaoice cabinet, people are willing to give 10,000, then I should give people some meat.

Besides, I love the braised cabbage with pork belly, which is sweet and delicious, and it goes well with rice. After cutting the meat, I saw that it would be a while before the rice was cooked, so I sat down and talked to him about it.

"You were very young, and you were only five years old when your grandmother and father died, didn't they tell you?" He didn't believe it, after all, there was no difference between me and Xiong Lao Liu, and 10,000 yuan didn't buy more information, because I also listened to the people in the village, it was nothing more than an extra fortune teller poem by that master.

"Yes, everyone in the village said this, because I was born more weird, and the second aunt next door, my cousin, and the zodiac priest were all watching outside the door at that time."

After saying that, I went to stir-fry, the whole cabbage was stewed, and it was full of pots, but there was no meat in it, which was enough for the two of us to eat. I also took out two bottles of beer in the freezer.

He was not polite, he just took it and drank it, before the meal was served, I was only going to give him a bottle, but it seemed that he still had to drink a bottle, for his 10,000 yuan, I didn't care, looked at the money on the table, and asked him: "This money, can I take it?" ”

"Well, you can take it! I'm leaving. He finished placing half a bottle of beer on the table.

"You're not eating?" I was overjoyed.

"The village chief's house invited us to dinner tonight, and we have to go. See you tomorrow! ”

"You take the wine with you and drink it on the road, don't waste it." I say

"It's the same as water, you can't get used to drinking it, you drink it!" He finished and left.

I thought to myself, drink your sister, you are a big man, and you are not a beauty, I looked at half a bottle of beer, a little pity, and put it on the refrigerator. After eating and drinking, I was very happy in my heart, and I earned 10,000 yuan, and I was worried that I would have no money to spend. I removed the small closet and put it in the dark compartment on the floor.

I slept happily until dawn, and sure enough, money can give people a sense of security. I'm very idle, of course I'm going to go to Guillotine Mountain to see the excitement, it's best to do some hard work.

Walking to the entrance of the village, I saw that everyone was running in the direction of Guillotine Mountain, no one dared to go alone on weekdays, but today there are groups of three or five, there are still a lot of people, and they are popular, so they are naturally not afraid. A small truck drove by, stopped at the foot of the Broken Head Mountain, and someone held a horn and shouted for someone to move things, and it was okay to move to the vicinity of the Broken Head Cliff for 50 yuan a trip.

Everyone hesitated at first, and then they all ran over, and I followed, and it was not very far to the Broken Head Cliff, and with my strength, it would be no problem to get two hundred yuan in the morning.

"You go aside, don't steal work with us." Li Bald said.

"You go and make a lot of money, make a lot of money and leave quickly." Uncle Cousin also said.

Everyone pushed, shoved, and scolded, so I had to go to the side and squat on the side of the road to smoke. Li Bald and Uncle Li carried a machine, and the bald man asked, "What is this for?" ”

"Underwater sounder." Said the staff.

The other four people in a group, carrying several bundles of iron ropes up the mountain, there is no road on the Guillotine Mountain, the wild road is difficult to walk, so they thought of a way, go home to drive the cattle to drag up the mountain, I see a lot of wire ropes, it is estimated that this is used to go down to the bottom of the pond, of course, you can drive a boat from the Guillotine Gorge into the pond, but last time Captain Sun's speedboat inexplicably hit the wall and exploded, naturally people are afraid, the waters of the Guillotine Gorge are crooked, the waterway is actually quite long, and it is caught in the urn when you go in, and the rope is put down from the Guillotine Cliff, fast and safe, even if there is something, you can pull it up directly.

After the small truck was unloaded, it went to pull again, this time there was a machine, which should be used to roll ropes, one person could not carry it, and it was not easy for two people to carry it.

"I can try." I walked over and said.

"Can you carry it?" The man with glasses asked.

"Just try it."

"You try a bird, get out of the way." Xiong Hu came over at this time, glared at me and yelled, and pushed me away, "I'll try, two hundred yuan a trip." ”

"Okay, if you can afford it, it's two hundred dollars." Glasses said.

The bald man and his cousin both blushed, and then put the rope reeling machine on Xiong Hu's shoulder, Xiong Hu's was about to come out, his waist couldn't be straightened, and he was just about to climb up the mountain, his feet slipped, and the whole person fell to the ground, and the small branches poked the corners of his eyes.

"Don't break the machine." The man in glasses yelled.

"You try." Xiong Hu was in pain and was in a very unhappy mood.

"You try." The man with glasses said to me.

I hurriedly walked over, Xiong Hu grabbed me by the collar, "You dare to try, Lao Tzu burned down your house." Uncle Li and Bald Li also immediately picked up stones and surrounded me.

At this time, Charles Bai came over and pinched Xiong Hu's wrist, "It's all from the same village, why are you bullying people?" His hand was extremely strong, Xiong Hu's brows furrowed, he wanted to get angry, but he found that his hand involuntarily let go, and he shook it several times before he shook it off, he touched his wrist, looked at me resentfully, and stood still.

"I'll see how you get it on your shoulder." Li Bald laughed.

Charles Bai also crossed his hands and stood to the side looking at me, "Carry it, I'll give you five hundred." He said.

As soon as Li Bald heard what he said, he hurriedly said, "He definitely can't handle it, I'll go home and get the flat burden." And with that, he ran back, like a rabbit.

I moved my muscles, grabbed the handle, took three deep breaths, and suddenly exerted my strength, and really threw the machine on my shoulder, but fortunately it wasn't that heavy. Xiong Hu was dumbfounded, he is the number one strong man in Angelica Village, and he has never seen me use brute force, not to mention that he doesn't know, even I don't know how strong I am, and I haven't challenged it. They had seen it when they carried the double corpses, but they thought I was a ghost, so the corpses had no weight for me.

Charles took a cigarette in his mouth and said, "Go up the mountain, I'll give you money when I arrive." ”

I held the machine in one hand, climbed the mountain with the other, and he went up the mountain twice, walking in front of me, the mountain road is really not easy to walk, the thing is not heavy, but the is too hard, the shoulder hurts so much, it is estimated that the skin is broken, but I like this feeling, unlike the back that has no pain at all, no itching, no touch, not like my skin at all.

"When you were six years old, how did you fall into Guillotine Gorge?" Charles asked.

"Someone else threw it down." I say.

"Thrown down?" He stood and looked back at me.

"I have to lie to you?"

"Who do you think wants you to die?" He asked.

"I don't know, everyone in the village probably wants me to die, but no one dares to mess with me, for fear of being cursed." I say.

He nodded, took out a cigarette from his pocket and stuffed it into my mouth, and then lit it for me.
