Chapter VII Poisonous Insects

The off-road vehicle crossed the winding mountain road and walked on the stone bridge, but in Xu Mo's fear, there was no accident and arrived at the destination safely.

Could it be that the contents of the Book of Revelation were not what he had guessed? Xu Mo was puzzled in his heart.

The place where the car was parked was a square, and in the distance there were a dozen trucks parked, on which were all kinds of furniture, beds, and next to the trucks, some trolleys were messily placed. In front of the square is an undulating hill, although there is a small road, trucks cannot go up, and from the trees on the hill, you can faintly see the wooden houses, pavilions, and thatched houses.

The part-time job obviously involves unloading the furniture from the car and transporting it to the house in the mountain inn where it can be placed.

At this time, it was just three o'clock in the afternoon, and the slender man arranged to work, and the rest of the work during this period was calculated as half a day's salary.

It stands to reason that this kind of part-time job is naturally impossible to leave work at five or six o'clock on time, at least until eight or nine o'clock or even ten o'clock in the evening is considered a day. However, the terrain on this mountain is dangerous, and it is prone to accidents at night, so you can stop to eat at half past six, and you don't have to work at night.

When Xu Mo heard this arrangement, he secretly felt strange: Since we didn't work at night, why didn't we send us back, why didn't we spend the night here? More than 100 miles away, plus the mountain road, we could return to the city in less than two hours at most.

He didn't really care about whether he went back or not, and he didn't think much about it at the moment.

The slender man divided them into several groups of six, each group was responsible for a place, Fang Xing coincidentally divided into a group with Liu Qian and Su Yan, in addition to the three of them, there were two men and one woman in the group.

The two men and one woman are called Zhao Hongzhe, Xu Tao, Guo Xia, they seem to be knowledgeable, and the relationship is a little entangled, listening to them, it seems that Guo Xia was originally boyfriend and girlfriend with Xu Tao, but later broke up and got along with Zhao Hongzhe. It's just that after getting along with Zhao Hongzhe, he also broke off the connection with Xu Tao and maintained an unclear relationship, and Zhao Hongzhe didn't care.

The three of them were just in their early twenties, and their speech was extremely young and naΓ―ve, Xu Tao was a short and fat man, and Zhao Hongzhe was slender and long, like a bamboo pole. However, Guo Xia has a two-third posture, but she is a little thinner than Zhao Hongzhe, and her hands are stretched out, like chicken feet.

The three of them were very lazy, and they never took the initiative to do things, and they only moved when they said hello, Xu Mo and Su Yan didn't like it in their hearts and didn't want to talk to them, and Liu Qian commanded them unceremoniously.

Xu Mo suspected that the man on the Book of Revelation was one of Zhao Hongzhe and Xu Tao, and he secretly looked at them a few times, but he didn't feel it.

The task assigned to the six people is a row of thatched houses, which have not been built for a long time, and the houses are full of lime and dry mud, and the work of the six people is to clean the thatched houses, clean out the garbage, and then move the furniture and beds in, and put them according to the layout on the drawings.

They used a cart to pull up a few pieces of furniture, brooms, mops, and other tools, and came to the row of thatched houses.

The thatched hut is divided into a lot of single rooms, each single room is not too big, about 30 square meters, maintaining the original state, it is a real thatched hut, the door and the back wall open large windows, embedded with transparent frosted glass, but also bright.

The thatched hut is surrounded by a variety of green bamboos, forming a small bamboo forest of several acres in size, with a winding gravel paved path on the front and back, a shelf on the top of the tap well, grape vines climbing on the shelf, and a small ditch leading the well water into the green bamboo forest.

Su Yan looked at the surrounding scenery and exaggeratedly exclaimed, 'It's beautiful', but the others didn't feel it at all.

Six people entered the thatched hut and began to clean up. Su Yan and Guo Xia took a broom to sweep off the cobwebs and dust on the roof wall, and when they swept to the second room, Guo Xia suddenly screamed and ran out of the house.

Xu Mo and the four of them were still cleaning up the garbage in the first house, and when they heard her scream, they immediately walked out of the door, and Su Yan also came out of the house.

"What's wrong?" asked Zhao Hongzhe.

Guo Xia stretched out her hand and pointed to the door of the thatched house, and said in a trembling voice: "There is a big scorpion." ”

Liu Gan rolled his eyes and said disapprenously: "What is there to be afraid of the scorpion, can't you kill it?"

Su Yan was puzzled: "How can there be a scorpion in the house?"

Liu Qian smiled: "There are already many insects on the mountain, what's the big deal about having a scorpion?"

Guo Xia pushed Zhao Hongzhe and said, "You go and kill it." ”

Zhao Hongzhe said 'um' and reluctantly walked towards the house, and after a while, he came out with a broom and said in his mouth: "What a big scorpion." ”

Xu Mo subconsciously looked at the broom, and saw that on the broom, there was a big scorpion seven or eight centimeters long. The scorpion was covered in gold, with only a little darkness at the tail, which was obviously highly poisonous. I couldn't help but wonder: "What kind of scorpion is this?"

The scorpion was still alive, moving on the broom, and Zhao Hongzhe changed his posture with the broom to prevent the scorpion from crawling along the broom to his hand.

Liu Gan said: "Strange, I have never seen such a scorpion, be careful, don't be stung by him." ”

Guo Xia shouted: "You still don't beat it to death?"

Zhao Hongzhe glanced at her, shook the broom, threw the scorpion to the ground, and trampled it to death. Surprisingly, after the scorpion was trampled to death, it was golden juice that flowed out.

Everyone was frightened, and Liu Gan ordered: "This scorpion is only afraid of being highly poisonous, and if there is one, there may be a second, if it is stung by it, it will be troublesome, be careful." ”

Xu Mo thought secretly: "There is no page about scorpions on the Book of Revelation, unless the Book of Revelation is fake, this scorpion should not cause any danger. ”

He vaguely remembered that the sixth page of the Book of Revelation was a small baby, and it was supposed to have nothing to do with this part-time job.

Remembering that the off-road vehicle had not been in an accident, I couldn't help but doubt the authenticity of the Book of Revelation.

The afternoon passed slowly, and at half-past six, when it was dark and the bell rang, they lined up to eat in a courtyard in the back mountain.

Xu Mo took a dinner plate and lined up behind Liu Gan.

This is a staff cafeteria, and the mountain inn has not yet opened, so there are no employees. The room is simple, and the place where the dishes are divided is a large long table, on which there are four large pots, and the dishes are simple, all of which are home-cooked dishes, namely fried greens, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, shredded potatoes with green peppers, and braised pork.

The dishes were divided by two middle-aged women in their thirties and forties, one fat and one thin, each in charge of two dishes. The fat woman's face was full of kindness, and the thin woman was dark and thin, but her face was full of fierce air, and she was quite arrogant to the part-timers, and in a short period of time, she quarreled with people several times. She is fierce and spicy, and her words are poisonous, and the part-time workers don't want to cause trouble, so they have to endure it.

The thin woman scolded and became even more arrogant.

Soon it was Liu Gan's turn, he asked for some of every dish, looked at his plate, and pointed to the pot of braised pork, "There is too little meat, let's have a little more." ”

It was the thin woman who was in charge of the braised pork, and she said impatiently when she heard this: "Everyone is like this, so what's the matter?"

Seeing that Liu Gan was strong and strong, he was obviously not easy to provoke, and he didn't say anything ugly for a while, picked up a spoon, fished a few pieces of meat from the basin like skimming soup, and put them on his plate.

Liu Qianwu was disgusted with himself, and then said, "A little more." ”

The thin woman ignored him with a look of disdain on her face, turned her face away, tapped the vegetable bowl with a spoon, and shouted backwards, "What are you going to eat later? Go faster! How long will it take? ”

"Fault!" Liu Qian scolded, snatched the spoon from the thin woman's hand, picked up the meat and added a few spoonfuls to himself. He threw the spoon into the large basin, and the broth splashed, and there were a few more black dots on the white apron worn by the thin woman.

"Boy, if you dare to make trouble here, I told Xiao Chen to fire you immediately. The thin woman scolded with a halberd, looking at her expression, if it weren't for Liu Gan's strong body, she would probably rush out from behind the table to fight him.

And the Xiao Chen in her mouth naturally refers to the slender man who recruits people part-time.

That Xiao Chen was sitting in the corner eating with a few drivers at this time, but he didn't look back, obviously unwilling to care about this kind of thing.

Liu Qian turned around and sneered: "I'm sick! I haven't heard of a family that lets people work and doesn't let people have enough to eat." ”

The thin woman was choked by his words, and she didn't know what to say for a while, but when she turned her head and saw Xu Mo lined up behind Liu Gan, she guessed that it was together, and immediately sprinkled her anger on Xu Mo, and said coldly: "What do you want to eat? Hurry up, the old lady doesn't have time to serve you garbage workers." ”

Xu Mo was furious in his heart, but he was silent, holding back his anger, but he didn't come out, like Liu Gan, he asked for a little bit of everything.

The thin woman gave him a spoonful of shredded potatoes with green peppers and half a spoonful of meat for him, she deliberately bullied Xu Mo, and the spoon was half a spoonful of soup, with only two pieces of fat the size of a fingernail floating.

Xu Mo didn't want to cause trouble, so he followed Liu Gan's example and said: "The meat is too little, add a little more." ”

The thin woman threw the spoon and sneered: "If you like to eat or not, don't eat and fuck off." ”

Xu Mo was furious in his heart, and lowered his head slightly, but saw a wooden board next to the foot of the table, and a few black nails were nailed to the board. Lifting his foot and kicking lightly, the wooden board hit the corner of the table, turned over, and at this time the tip of the nail pointed towards the nail, and at a glance you could see that the nail was extremely long, and the nail pierced through the plank, and it was beyond two or three centimeters.

Xu Mo glanced at the thin woman's feet, and saw that she was wearing a pair of cotton slippers, and his heart moved at the moment, and he quietly kicked the wooden plank at her feet, and then walked away. Go to the seat opposite Liu Gan and sit down and eat.

It wasn't long before I heard a heart-rending scream from the thin woman, crouched down, hugged her feet and shouted, "Ouch! Who's the fuck throwing the nails?"

All the part-time workers couldn't help laughing, and Liu Ganha laughed.

The thin woman scolded, "Laugh at your mother, laugh?"

Liu Gan said loudly: "You deserve it!"

The thin woman snorted and scolded a few words, Liu Gan ignored him anymore, and Su Yan took a meal and sat down.

At this time, I only heard a person behind me: "It's really strange, in winter, doesn't the toad want to hibernate? When I was cleaning the small pavilion in the middle of the mountain, I actually saw a black toad." ”

One said, "What is that? When I was cleaning the house, I saw a white spider the size of a palm. Palm-slapped, have you ever seen it?"

Another person jokingly laughed: "No, toads and spiders are poisonous, is this a poisonous mountain?"

Xu Mo's heart moved, thinking of the golden scorpion, was it a coincidence?
