Earth Survival Guide

Chapter 3 In order to survive, reach a consensus with strange people

After walking the dirt path for 15 minutes again, Gu Tao carried his bag, guitar and a marked map on his back to the bus back to the city, leaning against the window and listening to Ninja Bang Bang through his earphones.

Just when he closed his eyes to rest, the song in his headphones suddenly paused, and then cut the song into a very popular square dance song. The sound quality was particularly explosive, but because he was lazy, he didn't pay attention to these small details. .

"Hold the grass, where is my phone!"

When he arrived at the place, Gu Tao subconsciously took out his mobile phone, but what he took out from his pocket was a broken MP3 player. His headphone cable was plugged into his head, and he heard hot good luck in his ears.

He finally understood why he suddenly cut the song at that time, he looked back at the bus just now, gritted his teeth in resentment for a while.

"so……"

Although he was angry, he still had to compromise with reality in the end. Wang Tian let out a long sigh and lamented silently: "Luck really does exist."

It's not a problem if he loses his mobile phone, after all, in this city, he only has a few friends, one is a fat man, and there are two guys who sing together in the underground passage, and there are probably only a few friends left. There are a few delivery boys and a few courier brothers who have a certain style of delivery.

But that kind of low mood is really uncomfortable, how should I describe it, frustration... yes, yes, frustration, that kind of frustration of "why am I so useless".

With the last little money in his hand, he bought two sets of pancakes, stuffed one set into his bag for lunch, and he sat on the curb in his hand and ate the other set slowly.

While eating, someone threw a one dollar coin in front of him. He looked up and saw the chic back of a young lady carrying a bag.When he saw this, he became irritable, stood up and shouted: "Young lady in front, stop!"

The young lady who threw money at him was taken aback by him, turned around and looked at him: "What's wrong?"

Gu Tao bent down to pick up the one dollar: "You use this to insult me?"

"Yes... I'm sorry... I thought you were a busker." The young lady's face turned red immediately: "I'm sorry to have caused you trouble."

Gu Tao snorted coldly, and put a dollar into his pocket: "I'll forgive you this time, remember to start with five dollars next time."

After finishing speaking, he slowly walked towards the first recruiting place with his bag on his back, and in the middle of the walk, he still didn't forget to turn his head and solemnly said to the young lady who was covered in circles: "Remember, next time you start at five yuan. , what is enough for one dollar!"

Finally venting a little bit of resentment on a kind stranger, Gu Tao felt a little better, then pushed open the door of a restaurant, poked his head in and looked at a little garlic picker sitting inside: "Sister, this trick no one?"

"Wait a minute, I'll call the boss."

Picking Suan girl got up and walked into the back room. After a while, a boss with a cigarette in his mouth walked out. Gu Tao looked at it and clasped his hands together: "Farewell!"

boss:"???"

As for why I said goodbye, it’s simply that I don’t like the smell of cigarettes. Is there a problem?

Carrying a bag and holding a map, at first glance he looks like the kind of poor traveler, of course he is a serious poor traveler, not the kind of poor tourist who travels around by sleeping with others, Gu Tao thinks that the public security organs Need to crack down on that kind of poor travel, how is prostitution and whoring defined?Anyway, that kind of poor travel is not much different from prostitution.

Following the signs on the map, Gu Tao came to a small alley and got into a small dark shop. He thought he had made a mistake when he walked in, so he quit to take a look. The signboard did say "Hundred Years Old shop".

But it is a century-old store, but it is not a place that sells anything at all. It is dark and empty inside. There are a few wine jars placed in the corner, which looks quite old-fashioned. The bar is also from the martial arts rumor That kind of style, if it wasn't for a computer with the screen turned on next to it, it would really mean traveling through time and space.

"anyone there?"

"Have……"

A weak voice came from inside the bar, and Gu Tao leaned over to have a look.Hey!There is indeed a person, but this kid looks a bit slumped, lying on the computer keyboard, with messy hair, he looks like he hasn't woken up.

"Recruiting people?"

"Looking for a job?"

They asked in unison, and then the two confirmed their eyes, and found that they were the same kind of people.

It was said that he was recruiting, but the guy at the counter never stood up from the beginning to the end. He just lazily raised his head and glanced at Gu Tao, then wiped his face and accepted the job without even asking his name.

And Gu Tao looked at this sloppy guy and felt very strange. How could normal people wear down jackets in this season?

"Well, I have a question." Gu Tao stroked his chin and said in a rather deep voice, "Do you include room and board?"

"Bag, everything." The guy took out a bag of dog food from the counter: "Now it's the end of the month, let's use this for a few days."

Gu Tao stared at the packaging of the dog food, then reached out and took out a piece to taste it, and found that it was acceptable except the taste was a bit bland, but the grandson actually grabbed a handful and stuffed it into his mouth, vaguely saying : "Have you had breakfast? If you haven't eaten, grab some more. This thing will keep you full."

"Oh." Gu Tao actually grabbed a handful and ate it like melon seeds while asking: "Where do you live?"

"Just go up the stairs, why don't you take a look at the environment first."

"Wait a minute!" Gu Tao thought for a while, "You're so fucked up to eat dog food, how will you get paid?"

"Isn't it the beginning of the month in two days? I'll collect the rent and pay you your salary first." The guy raised his head and said feebly: "I promise not to lie to anyone, let's hook up."

Who the hell wants to pull hooks with you!Gu Tao dodged the guy's hand, and then walked up the stairs with his bag, and found that the second floor was a warehouse. It's cardboard.

Really, Gu Tao was shocked at the time. It was the first time he saw someone deal with his life like this. The scene was very similar to the scenes in martial arts movies where the heroes sleep in a ruined temple in the suburbs, except at the entrance of the warehouse. Posted a Lanruo Temple.

He went downstairs silently, and found that the man who was supposed to be the boss was pouring dog food into a bowl, and then he got a dirty thermos from nowhere, poured the water into the dog food, and Putting the lid on, seeing Gu Tao coming down, he laughed aloud, "It's delicious when soaked soft."

Damn... This is simply a wonderful flower in the world. Judging from his skilled posture and confident tone, this grandson probably eats dog food a lot, right?Gu Tao looked at the half-eaten dog food in his hand, and silently refused: "I like dry chewing."

"That's ok, if you think the taste is bland, I have chili sauce here, you mix it."

Mix...mix...this was a magical sound, so Gu Tao quickly shook off the terrible repeated words in his ears and coughed: "How much is a month's salary?"

"One thousand and two?"

Gu Tao turned around and left.

"Don't go, don't go, it's easy to discuss." The grandson quickly grabbed Gu Tao: "One thousand and eighty yuan, including food and accommodation!"

"Three thousand five."

"It's too high, so I'll have to eat it from the middle of the month." The grandson brought up the dog food and shook it in front of Gu Tao, his eyes really looked like a dog: "How about... a little lower?"

"You said."

"One thousand five?"

"Farewell!"

"Don't go!! Add one thousand!" He almost hugged Gu Tao's thigh and begged: "Two thousand and five!"

Seeing his pitiful appearance, Gu Tao sighed, for the sake of food and lodging... Well, dog food is really terrible, although the taste is not bad.

"Okay." Gu Tao hesitated again and again, reaching out to him: "Gu Tao."

"Xin Chen."

The two hands clasped together and reached a consensus.

Gu Tao is actually very helpless, this is probably the first time he has reached a consensus with this abnormal human being in order to survive, but looking at this strange boss, he always has something to say: "I didn't say that, you are all mixed up like this , please someone."

"That's what I think." Xin Chen lay on the counter and leaned very close: "Look, I usually have nothing to do here alone, so I plan to find another person to come over and have nothing to do with me. Wouldn’t it be more comfortable?”

The reason is the same, but it is illogical, but it is nonsense to talk about logic with a person who treats dog food as a meal, so Gu Tao nodded in agreement: "What do you do in this century-old shop?"

"Selling wine, my ancestors were court tribute wine back then."

"Where's the wine?"

"Gone."

"and then?"

"I don't know how to brew." Xin Chen raised his head and looked at the ceiling: "My dad ran away with a chicken before he could pass on the recipe to me, and my mom ran away with a guy who drove a big truck... It should be my mom. He ran off with a truck driver first, and my dad got involved with that chicken."

Gu Tao pondered for a moment: "I think your parents' decision has a lot to do with you, but I think they didn't abandon you as an abandoned baby before the full moon, it's already done their best."
