Entrepreneurship in a different world

The old man who lived in the ground silently stared at the clansman suffering from the 'atavism' in the photo, with a complicated expression on his face.On the one hand, the person in the photo is from different branches of the same family. They were one body a long time ago. On the other hand, they are very different in appearance and temperament. From this point Looking at it from above, it seems that they are incompatible with each other if they regard each other as the same race.

After a long and more ancient time, the two surviving branches of them have already developed towards new and different ethnic groups and civilizations.Just like the old man insisted on calling himself "Dijuren" instead of "Prisoner Mountain Man", even if the roots are the same, the changes of tens of thousands of years have drawn an insurmountable gap in their respective hearts.

"Did the old man ask why the 'Prisoner Mountain People' artificially created the 'ancestral disease' people? What is it about bringing disasters to the earth?" Seeing that other people were still thinking about Fan Di's words just now, Wen Rong first asks the question.

Fan Di translated Wen Rong's question into the language of 'land dwellers', but saw the old man with a gloomy expression, and murmured back on the phone with his voice down.

"The information handed down by their ancestors of 'terrestrials' is not particularly detailed. It is probably related to strength, wisdom, and race level. He said that in their legends of 'terrestrials', their initial The ancestors were very powerful, and they were the greatest and top-notch intelligent group in the world at that time, but there was one thing...the number was very small and it was difficult to breed among the same race. In order to expand the population, they combined with Homo sapiens who lived under the same sky at that time , After less than 200 years, the well-known "Prison Mountain Civilization" was established... However, with the combination of generations with Homo sapiens, the offspring born are all different in appearance, ability, and strength. Constantly changing, they no longer have the appearance of the "prison mountain ancestors", but are more like Homo sapiens, and in the era when their "ground dweller" ancestors moved underground, they are not much different from the current human beings in appearance. Occasionally, there are cubs with 'ancestor' blood born in the ethnic group. This cub's ability must be very strong, but it doesn't live for a long time. Over time, the 'Prison Mountain People' realize that they want to regain their former toughness , wisdom and uniqueness, they can no longer be combined with the human beings at that time, and a large number of "ancestors" must be born to keep the bloodline pure and sustainable. But this perverse practice, which violates the law of natural development, has brought about several times Disasters are basically always related to the plague.”

Wen Rong's brows loosened, "Plague?"

"That's right, that's what he meant." Fan Di said.

The 'earth dweller' old man waited until Fan Di finished speaking before continuing to describe.

Fan Di then translated his words: "There are records of those disasters in the underground petroglyphs where they 'land dwellers' lived. After more than ten years of division, the production of "throwing ancestors" began. Until the last super plague came, in order to avoid the great plague and to leave roots for their dead clansmen, the ancestors of the "earth dwellers" When the situation was not right, I brought the rest of the people in the city to live underground, and since then, I have never dealt with the ground again.”

"They don't know what happened to the 'Prisoner Mountain Man' after the arrival of the super plague?" Kuo Mo asked a question.

When Fan Di listened to the old man's answer to this question, his expression was a little moved, and he also sighed: "The super plague was so fierce that people basically had no time to save themselves and died soon. Their ancestors evacuated At that time, the city was also in a state of ten rooms and nine empties. Basically, it is certain that the great plague was the main reason why the "Prisoner Mountain Civilization" finally disappeared in the long river of history. About a few years later, their "earth dwellers" ancestors once I went up to look quietly, and at that time the most prosperous central city was buried more than half by the yellow sand, and there was no one in sight. They thought that the "Prisoner Mountain Man" was dead, so they rested their last thoughts and rested in peace. I made a plan for long-term survival underground."

"Facts have proved that they did not die out, but most of them died, and one of them also survived, and... has survived from that era to the present era, hiding behind the newly established human social groups Among them, no one has ever realized their existence." When Wen Rong said this, two gusts of cold air climbed up from his heels at the same time, and instantly covered his whole body, making his hair stand on end.

"What happened later? After such a long period of time, it's true that the 'land dwellers' haven't had any contact with the 'prison mountain people'?" Mo Shi asked.

The old man glanced at Mo Shido who asked this question, hesitated before giving the answer: "I have been in contact with it once. It was also thousands of years ago, and this incident is also recorded in our rock murals. At that time, it was the "Didwellers" who were actively looking for by the "Prisoner Mountain People". At that time, our ancestors were still living under another piece of land with lush vegetation and rich products. At first, our ancestors were very happy to be found by the other party. However, they soon discovered that those 'Prisoners' came back to them because they thought their bloodlines were purer than theirs. Those guys still did not give up on the creation of 'Ancestors'."

"Sure enough, they are a group of lunatics! They have already tasted the bad results, but they still want to repeat the same mistakes? Isn't the 'ancestor' just stronger and smarter? Just for this, they ignore everything else?" There is no way to understand this behavior.

"...At that time, after our ancestors realized their intentions, they killed the people who came, and then immediately took us to relocate, from the original fertile land to the depths of the current mining area, and escaped again. That disaster." Fan Di translated the old man's words at the same time, "Sure enough, after that, similar plague disasters will occur on the ground every few years."

Wen Rong looked at Mo Shi carefully at this time, wondering if he felt the same way with him at the moment.

"The apocalyptic disaster a hundred years ago...is also related to them." From Moshi's words, Wen Rong knew that they had thought of something.

This time the old man of the 'earth dweller' did not speak again, and this reticence was more like a tacit attitude.

"Sir, I think that the apocalyptic virus last time was also a kind of plague." Kuo Mo finally realized that the strong man looked too surprised.

"Don't you think that the 'crazy people' virus is very much like the 'ancestors' they say?"

Wen Rong, Kuo Mo and Fan Di thought about it carefully.Like, the more I think about it, the more I like it. The characteristics of the later mutation of the 'mad man' were also changed towards the animal form, so when you think about it, it's more similar.

"Massive production of 'ancestors'...does it fail? Why use ordinary people to create 'ancestors'? Don't they value the purity of their blood?" Wen Rong raised the point of explanation.

"Mr. Wen asked this question well. It seems that there are still many questions that can only be answered from the other party's mouth."

"Very good." Mo Shi nodded lightly with a calm face, then he snorted softly, and greeted, "Kuomo, come with me." The master and servant plunged into the meeting room to discuss something.

"Sir..." Fan Di was a little late, touching his neck and whispered, "At least send us back to the cave first?"

"You haven't been back for a while, so let's take a rest today. The city has changed a lot recently, and many new shops and businesses have opened. Maybe you would like to go and have fun?" Wen Rong suggested to him.

"Forget it, the place I want to go may not exist in this city yet." Fan Di smiled ambiguously, "Besides, there is this..." He pointed to the old man beside him, "I have to bring he."

"That's right. The old man hasn't been to our place yet. Have you eaten yet? Today there is fresh mutton soup in the canteen of the town. It's good to drink some mutton soup when you're old." Wen Rong treated this man like everyone else in the town 'The elderly living in the ground'.

Fan Di asked what the old man meant.Originally, the old man was a little cramped, but when he heard that he was going to take him to dinner, he immediately became interested.The few remaining 'earth dwellers' recently ate the food provided by the 'ghost cave' in the cave, which suits their taste very well.

"Then let's go back together. I haven't eaten fresh meat for a long time. No, I'm still thinking about Mr. Wen's craftsmanship." Fan Di said, patting his belly.

"I'm afraid I don't have time to cook at home in the past few days. Our 'biological crude oil' is about to be released. When this work is over, it's just a summer vacation. I will invite Mr. Fan Di to go on vacation together. What do you want to eat? Let's just do what we do." Even if Wen Rong just heard some sensational news, after hearing it, Wen Rong just took it to heart silently, none of which could interfere with his daily work.

Fan Di took the 'diju old man' and walked beside Wen Rong and chatted with him: "Sometimes you are more stable than the rest of us. You are not in a hurry when you heard those things just now, and you still want to develop production, Do business, rest and vacation, eat good food."

"If all the information we have obtained so far is accurate, the other party has existed for such a long time, even if it is urgent for a while, there is no way to deal with them. Besides, I can't help those things urgently. At this stage, I The only thing that can be done well is the work at hand.”

The three of them drove back to the 'Ghost Cave' first, and went directly to the big dining hall in District N. At this time, breakfast was just over, and the big dining hall was starting to prepare lunch.Dozens of people in the entire cafeteria were busy processing today's main ingredients.

In addition to the soaring demand for raw materials of the 'Golden Leather' and 'Silver Fiber' series recently, the two oil factories are also conducting the first batch of 'biological crude oil' trial production, and the pastures and farms have shipped in large quantities. Therefore, their various manors, Meat is eaten almost every other day in factories and shops.

Today, the canteen bought ten sheep to make mutton soup, also to reward the workers who have been rushing to work in various factories recently.

After getting off the car, the 'diju old man' smelled the smell of the meat and couldn't walk. He squatted beside the aunts who handled the mutton and refused to leave. His eyes, which seemed to never be opened, were shining brightly at the moment. With godliness, he stared at the fat that had been picked off and kept swallowing vigorously.

"I guess it will take more than two hours to eat. I'll go and see if there is any leftover for breakfast. You guys want to pad your stomach."

The old man pulled Fan Di and murmured happily.

Fan Di turned to look at Wen Rong, pointed to the raw meat on the ground and asked, "He asked, can we eat some now?"

"This is raw..."

"They are used to eating raw food, don't forget their ancestors." Fan Di reminded Wen Rong.

Wen Rong immediately remembered the 'leopard head' that impressed him deeply. Well, his ancestors might really be used to eating raw meat.So he nodded.

After getting the approval, the old man picked up half a leg of lamb in the basin and tore it violently while hugging it.

Many townspeople around him stared at him, but they didn't make any strange noises.Some people here occasionally eat a little raw meat, and they often go to the kitchen of the big cafeteria to get some leftovers, and they have long been used to it.

The old man ate the meat too fast. In less than half a minute, he chewed the raw meat and bones, and even the sheep's hooves were chewed and swallowed. While eating, the old man was still crying and his mouth was vague. I don't know what I'm talking about.

"He was lamenting how there is such delicious meat in the world." Seeing Wen Rong looking at him, Fan Di automatically turned into a 'translator'.

After eating half of it, the old man was embarrassed and wanted a second one. Seeing his eating like this, there is no need to worry that he won't digest it. His teeth are just strong and powerful.Wen Rong agreed to his request to apply for a second root.

The second one didn't taste as whole as the first one. While the old man was enjoying it, Fan Di went in to find the bread left over from breakfast by himself. Send them to Wen Rong together, "This girl came here again to steal meat and eat it."

Wen Rong saw that this was Duo'er, and reached out to pat Duo'er's puffy cheek.The little girl glared at him first, then became obedient and obedient like a big cat.

"If you want to eat, come and get it openly. You can afford it with your wages. It's not a good boy's behavior to steal it." Even if this is a second-generation 'crazy person', Wen Rong only treats her like a little girl He treats his children just like he treats Xiaohong and Amai.

As soon as the mouth was loosened, the fat lamb loin in his mouth fell to the ground, and Duo'er nodded obediently.

The lamb loin on the ground was picked up by another wrinkled old hand, Duo'er immediately uttered a menacing guttural sound from the depths of her throat, scaring the 'old man from the ground' who picked up the food from her mouth.

The 'diju old man' raised his head to look at Duo'er, suddenly sniffed several times with his nose quickly, and then let out a cry of surprise, with a series of native language in his mouth.

Fan Di let go of Duo'er's hand, and had a serious conversation with the old man, "She is a 'crazy person'...not a 'atavistic' patient as you said."

Hearing this from the side, Wen Rong had a premonition that something was going on, so he pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

'Old Man Diju' leaned in front of Duo'er, carefully looked into her eyes, and counted the features on her body. Then he felt relieved and muttered a little. This sentence does not need to be translated. Wen Rong can probably guess that it is The meaning of 'admitted'.

Duo'er pointed to the sheep's waist that she liked, and tugged Wen Rong's skirt: "Eat~"

"You go and get it again, and just say it will be charged to my account. If you can bring two to Ms. Bi, you didn't go to the 'cosmetics department' to work today?"

Duo'er grinned and showed a slightly horrifying smile: "Yes, sick, human."

When there are patients in the infirmary, they and Dr. Pei still focus on their own jobs. Ms. Bi is Dr. Pei's assistant. She has already learned simple tasks such as dispensing medicine and giving injections, and Duo'er will do odd jobs for them.

Duo'er happily ran into the cafeteria, and soon came out with a small basin containing three lamb kidneys, and the little girl ran out happily.

The 'old man living in the ground' has been staring at her back, talking with Fan Di.

Fan Di didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "He just read it wrong, saying that Duo'er has the gene of 'returning to the ancestors', and now he is envious that Duo'er can get so much meat to eat."

"Duo'er is the little bodyguard in our town. She has participated in protecting the town and driving out the bad guys several times. She earned the food herself." Regardless of whether the old man could understand or not, Wen Rong said patiently .

On the contrary, how could this old man misunderstand that Duo'er has the gene of "returning to the ancestors"?Wen Rong expressed his question to Fan Di.

Fan Di also wondered: "Although the 'crazy person' will show his hidden side when he completely explodes, at most he will only show his characteristics that are not easy to show to others. Duoer is the second generation of 'crazy' "Human", there are three abnormal characteristics on the body, but even so, shouldn't the judgment be wrong?"

After Fan Di finished speaking, he asked the 'old man in the land'.

The 'Diju old man' waved the remaining half of the sheep's waist and explained.While he was talking, Wen Rong's attention was always on Fan Di, observing his expression.

The expression on Fan Di's face gradually changed from relaxed to vigilant, and by the way, he sent a meaningful look to Wen Rong.

"what happened?"

"He said it was a smell." Fan Di conveyed the old man's words, "What made him misunderstand was that he smelled a special smell that seemed to be absent from Duoer's body, and that smell was inherited from their ancestors. It's been mentioned that it's an oleic gas released from sebum."

"Smell?" Wen Rong pursed his lips, "Did you smell it?"

Fan Di waved his hand: "If there is any special smell, we 'crazy people' are the easiest to smell it. He must really smell something else and misunderstand. Besides, what he said was passed down orally, and their descendants also I haven't seen a 'throwback' with my own eyes, so it's normal to make mistakes in judgment."

The old man probably understood what Fan Di said, and justified himself.

"What did he say?" It's not good if you don't understand the other person's language, you have to ask everything.

"He said that their inheritance is not wrong." Fan Dibi gestured to Wen Rong not to continue talking about this topic.This 'local old man' has a very stubborn temper. He can tell about their ancestors, but foreigners can't.

Wen Rong expressed his understanding. Elderly people, he greeted the two of them to go out: "Let's find a place to sit and wait for the mutton soup to boil."

Not far from the big cafeteria is the school, walking out of the cafeteria Wen Rong turned on his heels and walked towards the school.Fandy thought he was going to stop by to see the cubs, so he didn't say anything.

As soon as Wen Rong appeared at the school, all the children in the school surrounded him, and the Wen family's brats also ran over immediately, pushing the other children away and not allowing their father to get too close to them.

"Just wait here." Wen Rong pointed to the environment in the school, "This is the closest to the cafeteria."

The old man, who was still reminiscing about the delicious taste of the mutton just now, didn't have any objections, but he deliberately avoided these brats outside and didn't take the initiative to deal with them.

It can be seen that this is the habit of their 'land dwellers'.Wen Rong thought about it, and asked Fan Di to take him to the infirmary to find a place to sit, where it was quieter.The kids at the school dared not run to that place because they needed injections.

Fan Di led the 'diju old man' to go there first, while Wen Rong talked with these naughty kids for a while, encouraging them to grow up well.

Before he finished communicating with the children, he heard a familiar noise coming from the direction of the infirmary, and that voice came from the old man's mouth.

Wen Rong hurriedly told the children to play by themselves, and they were not allowed to come closer, while he ran to the infirmary immediately to see what happened.

When he arrived, Fan Di was comforting the emotionally agitated old man, while the old man raised his head halfway, speaking a language they couldn't understand from his mouth in a godly way, which sounded like a kind of prayer, and the speed was very fast The tone of voice is also cadenced and rhythmic.

In the infirmary, Duo'er lowered her shoulders and stared at the 'Diju Old Man' with high vigilance, and the sharp nails on her claws had already popped out automatically.

With the help of Ms. Bi, Dr. Pei is fixing the bones of a young man who suffered a work-related injury. The two of them are not interested in what is happening around them, but Duoer wants to protect them and the patient.

The atmosphere in the room was too tense, if Wen Rong hadn't arrived in time, Duo'er would have made a move.Seeing Wen Rong approaching, the little girl calmed down and slowed down a bit, but she pointed to Fan Di and the old man and complained first: "He, interrupt, work."

Wen Rong walked over to block between the two parties, and pressed Duo'er's paw: "Don't get excited, listen to me and ask what's going on, okay?"

Fan Di took the initiative to describe the previous situation: "Just after we came in, the old man suddenly yelled at Ms. Bi and wanted to rush over, but I stopped him, and Duo'er was also irritated by this."

"Shouting at Ms. Bi?" A spark was suddenly ignited in Wen Rong's mind.

"Isn't it that I'm also waiting for him to finish the prayer and ask him clearly." Fan Di felt a little wronged.If I had known that this old man was not emotionally stable today, I would not have brought him to town.

The old man recited the prayer uninterruptedly for four to five minutes before stopping. He suddenly knelt down in the direction of Ms. Bi with a 'plop' and kowtowed in salute.

No matter who came forward to pull him, he insisted on finishing the five-body throwing gift, a total of 36 gifts, and it took another ten minutes after the completion.

Over there, Dr. Pei and Ms. Bi finished the last work at hand, hooked up the drip to the injured worker, and pushed them to the next ward to rest.

It was only then that Ms. Pei noticed that there were several more people here, and when he was disinfecting his hands, he asked Wen Rong: "What's the matter? I don't remember that I saved this old man recently." She mistakenly thought that The old man' is her patient.

"He is worshiping Ms. Bi." When Wen Rong said briefly, thinking of the episode where the old man misunderstood Duo'er because of her special smell not long ago, his throat suddenly felt a little dry .

What if... it wasn't a misunderstanding?
