Chapter 01 Black Cat
The next morning.
Xiaobei and Yang Yu eat deep-fried dough sticks and drink soy milk next to the deserted street at the gate of the community.
Yang Yu is a classmate of Xiaobei University. He has been working in other places since graduation, and it is rare to come back this year.
"No way? You mean a black cat? Climbing into your window in the middle of the night scared you half to death? Please, you must have dreamed that you haven't woken up yet! You don't live in a bungalow! You are really timid to be scared by a cat. Yang Yu chewed half of the deep-fried dough sticks and said vaguely.
"I bet it must be after waking up! I'm sure!" Beckham patted the table excitedly and argued. I lowered my voice when I saw the people around me looking at me with strange eyes. What I said is all true. Believe it or not, I'm really unlucky. Even if I lose my job, I still have nightmares every day. Now even a cat comes to scare me. It's ridiculous.
"Okay, okay, don't get excited. Maybe the cat climbed up the tree, there's no need to make a fuss. Anyway, you should find something to divert your attention. You will feel better when you are busy. Yang Yu comforted.
What do you do? I'm tired of those boring jobs, but in fact I have to do it, but I can't force myself to do it. How about that? Forget it, this year's unemployment rate is like a rocket. Do you know what it is like for more than a dozen college students to grab jobs that no one wanted in the past? It's better for you to find a favorite and easy job. Beckham knocked on the table with his fingers impatiently.
"Well, I'm thinking about something. Wait a minute." With that, Yang Yu dragged his chin on the table with one hand and chopsticks in one hand and fiddled around on the table.
"OK, well, didn't you think I would be lucky just now? I'll call you and ask you to follow me for a while. I don't think you will say that then." He took out his mobile phone and dialed a phone call. Hello? It's me. Well, I have a friend who wants to find something to do recently. Aren't we just short of manpower? Yes, yes, no problem, wait and I'll take him there. Don't worry, I'm still measured."
When he hung up the phone, he turned his head and stared at Beckham and said word by word, "You will be surprised."
The wind seems to be a little stronger.
"Huh? Ha, I don't seem to hear what you said. Do you think I will look like an idiot? Are you kidding? By the way, in order to celebrate that I'm going to have something to cook this meal, it's your treat, hehe. Beckham didn't care about his words and narrowed his eyes and smiled cunningly.
He pulled out his ear with his little finger and greeted the boss.
"Two more steamed buns! Take it away!"
In Yang Yu's helpless shaking of his head, the two left this place full of petty citizen atmosphere.
The sun does not dispel the cold winter, but seeing the pale gold will make people feel warm involuntarily.
Just like the small street where Beckham is currently standing.
When Beckham saw the familiar robber's face again, he almost bit his tongue with half a steamed bun! Under his greasy and stunned expression, he met Liu Xin, a man with three scars on his left face.
"Huh? Beckham? What's wrong with you?" Yang Qian saw Beckham's abnormal situation and pushed him and asked.
"No...no... nothing... just feel a little... shock... no... a little nervous..." Beckham wiped the corners of her mouth and hesitated.
"Hello, I'm Xiaobei, Chu, Chu..." He stretched out his right hand and found something wrong, and quickly rubbed the oil on his back buttocks and stretched it out again.
"Haha, it's not the first time we've met, is it?" Liu Xin laughed cheerfully.
Now it's Yang Yu's turn to be stunned.
"What? You? Do you know?" He was immediately confused.
"Haha, one side of fate, the coincidences in the world are so strange!" Under Xiaobei's embarrassed expression, Liu Xin smiled and told Yang Yu about their first meeting, which caused another burst of laughter.
Beckham's face turned bright and dark, and he couldn't wait to find a seam to get in immediately.
But he also knew that he was stupid enough at that time. He was not stupid, but smart.
"Xiaobei, you, you, you are so interesting. Don't go with me next time. It's too embarrassing. After all, many people will think that he is not like a good person when they see Brother Liu for the first time. This, this. Appearance is a natural problem. There's nothing we can do. We can't have a plastic surgery for this, can we? After a long period of contact, you will know what a good person Brother Liu is!" Yang Yu cleverly resolved the embarrassing situation and took Xiaobei into an antique store with Liu Xin.
The neat room looks like it is often cleaned carefully, and there is no dust in the cracks that ordinary people can't notice.
Eight Immortals Table, Rattan Chair. Carved wooden windows, vertical screens.
The store is full of antique charm.
After the three sat down, Liu Xin put the tea in front of the crowd and took a small sip and said, "Xiaobei, let me introduce our work to you first. You can consider whether to come or not, because there may be a certain danger, so I must emphasize it again."
Xiaobei felt awe-ins and hurriedly interrupted: "Brother Liu, you are not a tomb robber..."
Liu Xin smiled and said, "Ha ha, to be honest, in fact, I used to be a tomb robber, but don't worry, I don't do it now. We mainly do expedition assistance. You may have never heard of this word, so I'll tell you about it. In fact, tomb robbery is not as simple as people think. Many people have no source of income after giving up this industry, so they have formed such a new industry. Some adventure enthusiasts are unwilling to travel alone, so they need people to walk with them. At this time, they need people with rich survival experience to help, and we just fill this gap after we change our job.
"Wait." Beckham couldn't help interrupting again when he heard this. Brother Liu, I understand what you mean, but I don't have your experience. I'm afraid I can't do it!"
"Don't worry about this. Listen to me." Liu Xin put down the teacup and said slowly, "Your nature is the same as Xiaoqi. You mainly do some resupply work with the team, but sometimes you will go to some difficult places, and although you act as a temporary supply station in the rear, you will also encounter danger. Such as landslides and sandstorms.
Beckham also picked up the teacup and bowed his head without saying a word. Constantly meditating.
"Brother Liu, let him do this simple task with me first, and then consider whether to join after experiencing it." Yang Yu, who had never spoken, suddenly said.
"Is this... okay? ...But I'm still a little scared..." Beckham raised her head and said hesitantly.
It turns out that this is the reason why Yang Yu can't go home every day.
Although Beckham is an adventurous person, he feels that his life is more important, otherwise he would not have been troubled by that nightmare for so long.
Yang Yi has opened his backpack and took out the information of this trip.
Thinking about it, a falling photo attracted Beckham's attention.
His pupils suddenly contracted.
"I decided to participate in this trip! Bring me the information!" He suddenly made a sound that shocked Yang Yu and Liu Xin. At this moment, Beckham's whole body trembled.
Seeing his abnormality, Yang Yu picked up the photo curiously.
It was taken on the exterior of Yang Yu's expedition a while ago. It was a very ordinary small valley. The two people in the photo were bending down next to a metal bracket to measure things. Following Beckham's line of sight, he saw the lower right corner.
That's a black cat.
