Chapter 1: Drunken Gambling
My name is Huang Zanghai, and I used to be a soldier. During a mission, a bullet grazed my scalp and flew over, leaving not only a long scar on my head, but also the bane of a concussion, a headache when I was excited.www.biquge.info
This bullet didn't kill me, but it ended my military career.
When I came to the society, I found that I had no fists and feet, and I had no other skills, so I had to find a company, become a security guard, and start the task of guarding the gate.
Not long after I started work, an incident happened in my company, and I was worried about a thief, but when he rolled up his belongings and wanted to slip away, I caught him. My heroic act saved the company's losses, and my boss was so happy that I was naturally promoted to the captain of the security team and gave me special care, and my salary alone was twice as high as that of my peers.
My life is on the right track, thinking about buying a house, buying a car, marrying a daughter-in-law, having a child, and living an ordinary life from then on.
However, what seemed like an ordinary thing completely changed the trajectory of my life, and since then I have been involved in a catastrophe from which I will never recover.
On this day, I was leisurely and half-lying in the boss's chair, holding half a cigarette in my mouth, inhaling it in my mouth and squirting it out of my nose, so leisurely and comfortable.
It was at this moment that the door clicked open and the boss walked in.
This boss of mine is no more than thirty, and his hair is shoulder-length and shiny white at all times. Crescent moon eyebrows, cherry mouth, big watery eyes, pink face, smile must be charming, but I have never seen her smile, not only with an ice face, but also always with a black suit, white shirt, black pants, white high heels, it seems that she will always live at work.
She frowned when she saw me swallowing the clouds, but she didn't say anything. I quickly extinguished half of the cigarette butt and threw it into the trash, and said with a wry smile: "Boss, you are here."
"The eleventh long holiday is coming, you pay the salaries of the security guards under you. Also, my sister is going to camp in the mountains, you go back and prepare, let's go together! She spoke in a nice voice, but with an unmistakable commanding tone. From my past experience, if she were in the barracks, she would have been very good.
This young and beautiful female boss is really interesting, and she is worried that she has nowhere to go during the eleventh long holiday, and camping with the beautiful boss is something that you can't even think of. I was secretly excited, but I never dreamed that this trip would be the beginning of a terrible nightmare.
The next day, the boss's sister came and brought a man with her. Her sister is very similar to her, except that her sister always has a smile on her face, which is very attractive. I heard my boss call her Xiaojing, so let's call her Xiaojing. That man should be Xiao Jing's boyfriend, he also has beautiful eyebrows, a square nose and mouth, a dignified appearance, and elegant manners, which is also very suitable for his name He Shuxiang, but the name He Shuxiang sounds like a woman.
Fortunately, the boss doesn't have a boyfriend yet, so I don't count as a light bulb, so I don't have a lot of embarrassment. I have big shoulders and a round waist, strong arms and thick legs, and a somewhat vicious appearance, a little similar to the film and television actor Billy Zhou, plus a white scar along the side of his head, but he will not be regarded as the boss's boyfriend.
I heard Xiaojing call her Sister Qian, her family name is Xue, and I finally know their names.
The next day, we had everything packed. Xue Qian wore professional attire as always, but she had changed into a pair of white sneakers on her feet, and her face was still rigid and cold.
Xue Jing is different, with a white sweater, a red hat, and that smile, I don't know how many men can be fascinated. He Shuxiang wore a set of sportswear and a sun hat, which seemed incompatible with his elegant demeanor, and it seemed that this guy paid attention to the practicality of his clothes.
A group of four of us drove to the foot of the Machete Mountain, which is the largest mountain in our area, named after the shape of a machete, with lush forests and a quiet environment, it is a good place to relax and relax, not only to relax, but also to get in touch with nature, so that people who live in big cities all day long can get spiritual purification.
As far as I know, there was originally a Taoist temple on the machete mountain, but due to the change of people's concepts, the Taoist temple incense was not prosperous, and over time, the Taoist priests also returned the vulgar dust, and the Taoist temple was abandoned.
The road reached the foot of the machete mountain, there was no road on the mountain, we had to hike up the mountain, because the machete mountain is steep and high, and by the time we climbed halfway up the mountain, which was not far from the Taoist temple, it was already evening, and by the time we set up a high tent and lit a bonfire, it was already completely dark.
Afterwards, we set up the grill, grilled the barbecue, opened a few bottles of wine, and drank while eating the barbecue. The barbecue was delicious and the wine was good, but with two bottles of wine, all four of us were a little drunk.
Through the wine, Xue Jing stammered and asked, "...... you You've been...... Have you ever been to a Taoist temple? After speaking, he raised his hand in the direction of the Taoist temple.
"The Taoist temple has been abandoned for many years, and it is estimated that the houses have almost collapsed, what are you doing in that place?" I replied.
Xue Jing said: "There will be magical treasures or secrets in many ancient courtyards in the deep mountains, and many books write so."
He Shuxiang smiled and said, "Xiao Jing, you have read too many novels, right?"
Xue Qian was still serious after getting drunk, and said, "Aren't you already rich?" What do you want those treasures for? ”
Xue Jing pouted and said, "I just think life is too boring and boring."
Xue Jing said that she was unintentional, but her sister Xue Qian was the listener's intention, and her face showed a touch of haggard and helplessness. I can also see that Xue Qian is working so hard not only for herself, but perhaps, more for her sister. And the hard work she paid, but my sister didn't feel it at all, what kind of feelings would this have in my sister's heart, and even I, thinking about it a little, there was an inexplicable sourness in my heart, there was such a sister, there was such a sister, for them, I don't know if it was lucky or unlucky.
I was determined to help Xue Qian, so I said to Xue Jing: "Xiao Jing, let's make a bet, if there is no treasure in the Taoist temple, you will have to help your sister be an assistant for a month." If there is a treasure in the Taoist temple, the treasure will be yours, what do you think? ”
Xue Jing agreed without thinking about it, I knew that she was trying to be happy for a while, and not thinking about the consequences of losing.
He Shuxiang walked up to my side, leaned close to my ear and said, "If there was a Taoist priest who buried a treasure in the Taoist temple and happened to be found by Xiao Jing, I am afraid that your hard work will be in vain."
I said, "Let's not say that there is any treasure in the temple, and even if there is, I am afraid that it has been dug up a long time ago, how can it be left until now?"
He Shuxiang played a word game with me and said: "Treasures from ancient times, those who are destined to get them." If you don't have a chance, even if you dig three feet into the ground, you may not be able to find it. ”
I laughed and said, "Gotcha! Dude won't argue with you anymore, I guess you read too many books! ”
He Shuxiang's cheeks flushed, and he didn't speak anymore.
We soon arrived in front of the Taoist temple, only to see that everywhere we looked, there were broken bricks and tiles, decaying walls, surrounded by forests, and overgrown with wild grass in all directions. Wherever the flashlight swept, snakes, insects, rats and ants scurried around, and some of them rushed to our feet without a head, startling Xue Jing and screaming, jumping and jumping is not funny.
Seeing that she was afraid of these reptiles, I gave her a step down and persuaded her: "Xiao Jing, several small animals have scared you so much, just take the initiative to admit defeat."
Unexpectedly, this girl's cooked duck had a hard mouth, and she said dryly: "I don't admit defeat!" I just yelled just to be brave! ”
When I heard her say that, I couldn't stop crying or laughing. The four of them walked all the way through the knee-deep grass, walked more than 100 meters away, and suddenly appeared in front of them an attic, although the attic was old, but it was well preserved, compared with the surrounding dilapidated houses, it seemed extremely abrupt.
I thought to myself, this attic has been so well preserved after years of wind and rain, and no one has repaired and maintained it, maybe there will be something strange inside.
Thinking of this, I stepped forward, walked in front of them, and said, "This attic is unusual, everyone be careful."
Unexpectedly, as soon as the words fell, I heard a creaking sound, and a piece of the floor fell down, and a boxy black rumbling hole appeared on the ground.
We looked at each other for a while, and no one knew what was in it. I had the courage to raise my flashlight and shine it inside, but I saw a secret passage, smooth brick walls on three sides, and a staircase at an angle of about 60 degrees underneath.
Could it be that there is really a treasure in it? I thought to myself, but my eyes glanced at the three of them. Xue Jing's two big watery eyes shone brightly, full of curiosity and expectation, a girl like her who is not deeply involved in the world and is cared for by her sister in every way, the concept of money is still in a vague state, and she still maintains innocence and innocence in the world. Xue Qian is different, the difficulties and dangers in the process of entrepreneurship have sharpened her into an out-and-out strong woman, who has already seen through many things, so she shows an indifferent attitude towards the world. But in her heart, her sister is like her own daughter, and she can even give everything for her sister. Her expression was as cold as ever, but I could feel that her gaze never left Xue Jing's left and right, which was enough to see the depth of her feelings for her sister. He Shuxiang inadvertently showed an imperceptible smile, but it quickly disappeared and regained his original appearance, but even though his face could be concealed, his eyes betrayed himself, and the greedy light in his eyes was revealed, as if he was about to burn. This made me secretly wary of him, and if there was really a treasure under the pavilion, I would not be in a hurry.
