Chapter 18: Unknown Dangers

"What's that?" Mu Liantao asked, "It's definitely a living thing!" ”

I lay on the ground, motionless. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info can only see that the thing is a big lump, crawling towards us, looking like a big king.

"Maybe it's the king!" I said casually.

"Don't talk nonsense, this Inner Mongolia Plateau, where did the king come out?" Mu Liantao said: "It's so late, crawling there, it's too crazy!" Let's get out first. ”

I'm actually still a little curious, although I was scared before, but now that I've relieved, as an atheist, or a not very firm atheist, I really don't believe in bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods.

"It's definitely not a monster, let's see. Anyway, this thing crawls so slowly, it can walk again in a while......" Before I finished speaking, I heard in the distance, the crawling thing suddenly stretched out a short forelimb, as if it had spotted us, and then let out a cry.

"Ahh

"This! Here! ”

"Come on! Come on! ”

The sound was like a fingernail scratching a blackboard, unpleasant and harsh, making people feel very uncomfortable when they heard it. Something that seems to have crawled out of hell!

"I'll go! Godless fart, retreat! I hurriedly picked up the axe, stood up with Mu Liantao and ran back. It's no wonder if there are any beasts in the dark forest, anyway, even if you meet a tiger and a lion, it's better than seeing this crawling monster.

The two of us ran like crazy, shouting.

"Ahhh

"Hell!"

The mind is blank, only fear! You can only run, run forward! Run, run, run!

The two of us ran, and we heard voices behind us, and we kept shouting, "Don't!" Don't run! Ahhh Save me! Ahhh Please! Ahhh ”

"Wait a minute, isn't that human? Are we mistaken? I gasped.

Mu Liantao directly retorted: "Impossible, it's a ghost!" Save it? I think that ghost is starving to death, and wants to eat us! What's more, how can people crawl, you don't see the shape and it's the same as the king's eight, how scary that thing is! Definitely a youkai! It's not close! ”

I stopped, held on to a tree to catch my breath, and said, "Don't run, I can't run." Whew, this thing crawling out of the graveyard is a bit weird indeed. Why don't we just rest here? It just so happens that you are carrying a shovel and I am carrying an axe. I'll cut some branches, you dig a pit, and we'll make a small trench. Let's hide inside and hide all night, it should be safe. ”

Mu Liantao agreed: "Good idea! Your brain is good, I was just worried about how to rest, how scary this barren mountain is. Fortunately, I took a shovel with me, dug a small pit and hid inside, and covered the outside with branches, which was seamless! ”

"Don't boast, hurry up!" As I spoke, I picked up my axe, looked for a small tree nearby, and began to cut it one by one. It was too dark, and the two of us didn't dare to turn on the flashlight at all, for fear of attracting something strange again, so we went in the dark.

In about forty minutes, the small trench where we were hiding was basically completed.

Mu Liantao and I were lying inside, covered with branches outside. In the forest at night, there was no trace of it.

Anyway, I don't want to go out and die, and Mu Liantao doesn't want to. We took some bread and ham sausages out of our backpacks in the small trenches and ate something in the dark with mineral water.

Then we just lay in there in a daze, in a daze. It is said to be resting, but in this environment, how can you sleep?

I just lay there, thinking in my head that I had been in this village for almost three days, and that there were only a handful of opportunities to rest like this. Endless exhaustion tormented me, but the tense nerves could not be relaxed at all.

I remembered my adoptive father, and before I left, I made arrangements to take him to the city where I worked. Counting the days, when I set off for Inner Mongolia, he also set off for Tianjin. It's time to get to the place. I don't know how he is doing in Tianjin.

I don't know if my adoptive father can adapt to the customs and habits of Tianjin, and whether he can understand the Tianjin dialect.

And then there's ...... Also, I can't worry about my work. I work in sales for a cultural product company, but this company is a bit like a pyramid scheme, saying that it is a cultural company, but in fact it sells everything. Writing and calligraphy and painting, toilet manhole covers, pots and pans.

Of course, the main thing is to sell some so-called calligraphy and painting artworks, and they are sold in a flicker. Salespeople are constantly fooling customers, making them buy a bunch of things that seem to be of great value but are actually of little use at a large price.

So this requires the salesperson's tongue to be bright, and this is how my eloquence is practiced.

Such a company is very perverted, going to work at 5 o'clock in the morning, holding meetings every day, looking for customers, and leaving work at night, maybe 12 o'clock in the evening. If the salesperson does not pull the customer business in a day, it is a deduction of money. This is called the egg fee. There are many, many strange rules, so I won't tell them one by one, anyway, there are all kinds of fines.

The most powerful one I was once, and I was fined 5,000 a month. Of course, there are many penalties, and the profits are also huge profits. I talked about a 300,000 calligraphy and painting in three days last month and asked a local tyrant to buy it. When I returned to the company, all the employees applauded and welcomed me, and sent me 30,000 yuan of business expenses on the spot. Then I was directly promoted to team leader, and the original team leader became my subordinate.

The most perverted thing about this company is not this, but the punishment system. Because of my good performance, I became the team leader, and the original team leader was demoted, and I was punished for crawling around the company in front of all employees in the company.

When I left the company with 30,000 yuan, I saw the team leader crawling around the company, and everyone was pointing and pointing. When that person stood up, his eyes were red!

It's such a company, insulting and trampling on dignity, I did it for two whole years! Because of such a company and such a cruel system, the money is really fast!

30,000 yuan in three days, which is unthinkable in other places.

I'm pure, it's all about the money! I thought that if I made a lot of money, I would be able to make my adoptive father happy, but unfortunately, as the old saying goes: the tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, and the son wants to raise but does not wait.

It was too late.

I just lay in the pit, my mind full of messes. The road ahead is confused, I am like a fly, a headless fly, buzzing every day, it seems to be very powerful, in fact, it is the goods that others can slap to death.

If my adoptive father really isn't there, I don't even feel like I've ever had a connection with the world. Since then, he has become a person who has no home and no thoughts.

Thinking about this, I can't help but feel like crying. Luckily it was night, and fortunately it was just dark enough for no one to notice.

I was feeling sad when I felt sleepiness slowly set in and started to get tired. At this time, I only felt that my arm was pushed by something, and when I turned my head, I saw that it was night, and Mu Liantao pushed me with a shovel.

Seeing me turn my head, Mu Liantao's voice was full of panic, and he hurriedly said, "Brother Wu Ning, I'm disturbing your rest." However, I smelled the smell of dead bodies, and it was getting stronger and stronger, as if something was approaching us! ”
