Chapter 3: The Murderous Grave in the Wilderness
Tears flowed from the corners of my eyes, and I regretted that I didn't even call 'Mom' when I ran out of the house.
My father must have secretly spied on my mother's actions, and I knew that she wanted to let me escape from the basement, so I followed my mother in secret. The mother took the keys and the money, but she couldn't hide it from the father's eyes.
My father was not sure if I could get the key, so he went to the basement to take a look. His strange self-talk was something I understood at the moment. If I had escaped from the village with the money and the keys, the village chief would have known that my parents had let me go privately, and that would have angered my parents.
Therefore, my father cleverly slipped the key to me and deliberately knocked himself unconscious. In this way, he was able to explain to the village chief that when he visited me, he did not expect that I had stolen the key from his waist, opened the chain that was attached to my hand, and then knocked him unconscious and ran out of the village.
I have thoroughly understood the hard work of my parents at this moment. However, perhaps I will never see my parents again, and tears flow even more at the thought of this.
It took me a long time to wipe away my tears. Where can the world tolerate me? In a daze, I felt the money in my pocket that my mother had quietly left me, and felt something like a hard card in it.
I took out my card and looked at it in the moonlight, and it turned out that my mother had sandwiched my ID card inside. My mother thought so thoughtfully that I was wandering around alone, and if I didn't have an ID card, it would definitely be difficult to move an inch.
To my slight disappointment, there was no bank card in the pile of coins that I was expecting, except for the ID card. I sighed softly, knowing that although my parents had saved a lot of money, it was all in the bank. Because I was anxious to save me, and I didn't have to arouse the suspicion of the village chief, I might not have had time to prepare too much, so I just stuffed the family's cash to me.
Feeling regained, I began to think about my future. I made up my mind that I was going to go as far as I could, to the mountains of the west.
Just as I was about to get up, a bright light suddenly pierced me from a distance. In the night in the countryside, the rumbling roar made me immediately tell that it was a motorcycle.
I was overjoyed, and I was about to jump out and take a ride, when suddenly I was excited: Could this be the chasing soldiers sent by the village chief who found out that I had escaped from the surveillance?
Just as I was hesitating, a scene suddenly appeared in front of me, which made me stunned and couldn't close my mouth. I didn't even notice that I wasn't lying on a dirt road in the countryside. To my right, the lights were brightly lit, and a small two-room building stood not far in front of me.
What is that place? How come I've never seen one? Just as I was stunned, I saw a bewitching young woman sitting on a bamboo chair at the door, and I suddenly came to my senses.
There are many roadside inns like this in my hometown over the years. It is said that it is a hotel, but it is actually not formal, many of them are operating without a license, and they are secretly doing shady things. The shopkeepers, without exception, let one or several sexy-dressed bewitching women sit at the door to solicit customers, and if they meet a person who hunts for beauty, they will come forward in a coquettish voice and drag them into the store to fool around.
Before I could make a move, the motorcycle had already arrived in front of the shop. There were two burly young men in the car, and I immediately recognized them by the light from the shop. These two people are the two descendants of our village, and they have been following the village chief as bodyguards all these years.
I couldn't help but be startled, glad I hadn't been impulsive. Sure enough, I only heard Mo Jianming say to Mo Jianguo: "Huh! When did you open a new store? Jianguo, we chased all the way, and I didn't see Mo Xun's kid, and I didn't think he would be able to run far. This girl is good, why don't we go in and have a good time, and then come out to find someone? ”
Mo Jianguo smiled evilly: "Jianming, you kid, you can't help it?" It's okay, let's just come down and have a good time, anyway, the village chief won't know what to do. ”
Mo Jianming grinned and said: "Jianguo, this girl is so punctual, my brother can't hold it anymore." It seems that there is only one girl in this store, who will go first? ”
Mo Jianguo smiled and said, "Oops! Jianming, we still have business to do! Gotta hurry, I'll just see my brothers and I will be the same. ”
Hearing this, although I was scared in my heart, I couldn't help but blush when I heard the words of the two boys. A delicate voice came: "Oops! Two big brothers, are you still in a hurry so late? Why don't you take care of the business of the small shop and rest here for the night! ”
I couldn't help but curse myself for having instinctive impulses on this life-and-death escape. At this moment, I saw that the girl had already stood up from the chair, she was holding one in one hand, saying some provocative words, and pulled Mo Jianguo and Mo Jianming into the house.
I was fantasizing about the fragrant-glamorous scene, when suddenly I noticed that it was suddenly dark in front of me, and two screams came to my ears. The shop in front of me suddenly disappeared, and the surrounding area was as dark as when I first came here.
I was so frightened that I didn't know what was going on, so I was so frightened that I lay on the ground and didn't dare to move.
I don't know how long it took, but I felt numb all over. Finally, I heard one or two roosters crowing in the distance, and when I raised my eyes to see that the sky was gradually brightening, I looked around again.
One glance frightened me to the point that less than ten paces in front of me lay a mound of earth. Could it be that the little shop I saw last night was actually transformed by this mound? Then did Mo Jianming and Mo Jianguo, whom I saw with my own eyes, enter this burial tomb?
I couldn't believe my horrible thoughts, and I wish it was all just my hallucination. I'm going to get out of here! Driven by this thought, I got up from the ground.
The Yamaha motorcycle parked in front of me made me almost petrify instantly, which is exactly the car that Mo Jianguo usually drives. Is all this true? I was so frightened that I didn't dare to think about it anymore, I just wanted to get out of here.
As I rushed past the edge of the mound, curiosity subconsciously tilted my head. This glance scared me silly, the tombstone was inlaid with a picture of a young woman, who looked like the bewitching woman who had sat in front of the shop last night.
What made me even more chilling was that I seemed to see the woman in the picture smiling charmingly at me. I ran like crazy, my head buzzing.
"Don't want to die? Don't you have long eyes? A fierce roar around me woke me up from my nightmare. Then I saw that I was standing in front of a family car, and the head of a big man peeking out of the driver's window, which had no glass, yelled at me with an angry face.
"I'm sorry, uncle!" I said timidly to the big man, and then mustered up the courage to ask: "Uncle, I want to take a ride, can you send me to this nearest station?" ”
The big man snorted and said impatiently: "Get out of the way, uncle still has to catch the market!" ”
That's when I noticed the smell of fish coming from the family car, and one or two pig cries from time to time. It seems that this uncle is pulling a pig and is rushing to the market.
I fumbled in my pocket, took out a hundred-dollar bill, handed it to the uncle, and said, "Uncle, please, take me to the station in town!" ”
As soon as the uncle saw the hundred-yuan bill in my hand, he took it and looked at it carefully, touched it a few times with his hand, and then said happily: "Yes, then you hurry up and get in the car, I still have to hurry!" ”
In this way, I fled all the way, and finally came to a small county town on the border of Yunnan. At this time, the money on my body was almost spent, and I had never worried about money, but I had to think about my own survival at this time.
I was in a foreign land, wandering aimlessly through the streets, and a piece of paper sign on the side of the road attracted me. It was a job advertisement for a small restaurant, and I didn't think much about the salary, and the food and accommodation on it made me in a desperate situation, and hope suddenly lit up in front of me.
I became a buddy in this small restaurant, and the feeling of grievance in my heart was mentioned. The thought of me, a dignified graduate of a prestigious university, who had become a guy in a small restaurant, would pour out tears disobediently.
After two or three months, life gradually settled down, my mind calmed down, and I no longer had the same fear as when I first arrived.
Gradually, I strangely fell in love with the job and also with cooking. I am smart by nature, and it didn't take long for me to learn the skills of the only chef in the restaurant. The chef often complimented me on my cleverness at dinner with the owner after the restaurant closed, and many times he was willing to let me take charge of the cooking.
Soon, this idleness turned into a chef's misfortune. The owner of the store is called Tan Zhengming, and when he saw that I had completely mastered the chef's skills, and had innovatively integrated the characteristics of our Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine, which was very popular with customers, and saw that I had no requirements for salary, he had an idea and fired the chef. Since then, I have become the signature chef of this small restaurant.
Half a year later, I received my first salary from the owner Tan Zhengming. After a few months, I didn't expect to make thousands of dollars, which gave me a little comfort.
After Boss Tan paid me my salary yesterday, he actually told me with a smile that I would take a night off, let me get my salary and play around, and Boss Tan would deal with it himself.
So, I took the money to buy a set of clothes and dressed up in the mirror. Only then did I realize that I seemed to be more handsome than before, and I was more mature and masculine.
