Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 1523 Mine Exploration
I don't know if these heart-wrenching words were meant for Nangong or me, anyway, my thoughts are not here, I just want to know where is Nian Gengxi?The more time passes, the harder it will be for me to find him again. If I don't kill this bastard, how can I comfort the spirit of the young man in heaven? How can I face her when I go down in the future?
I said impatiently: "Let's stop acting. I don't care about your own family affairs! Since you want to cooperate, show your sincerity and help me find that bastard. I will help you deal with Essen together. Anyway, I I don’t like him too! As for how you deal with him, I don’t care! Don’t worry about Mr. Du, I have a way to persuade him! Although he is old and cunning, he still wants to drive Essen away, at least he won’t be with him To cooperate is to stand against him! With his budget-conscious personality, he must be very conservative. Without any advantage, he will not do anything!"

Nangong suddenly stretched out his hand and said, "Then wish us a happy cooperation?"

But I shook my head and said: "I said the premise is that you have to help me find Nian Gengxi first!"

Nangong frowned, but Lao Zai patted his chest and said, "Not only will I help you find him, but I can also help you get rid of him as a certificate of honor!"

I finally eased my frown and said: "Then I look forward to good news from you! Just ask, do you know where this mine can lead? Is it possible, God does not know, ghosts do not know In this case, go out from here? By the way, we jumped off just now, if we go back now, how should we go back? We don’t have any record of coming in, so we can’t just walk out through the gate in a big way?”

Nangong sneered: "Then we have to look again, your courage!"

I took a deep breath, knowing how dangerous this must be again.

Nangong ordered, and then said to me: "Let's go, I'll take you out! When the time comes, you will know where this mine leads to?"

After we finished speaking, we left the stone room and walked to the depths of the mine where we couldn't see our fingers.

Laozai was at the front, leading the way with a strong flashlight. He said it was a road, but it was actually a small stone slope piled up with countless small stones. When he stepped on it, his foot sank into the stone. hit the water.

Nangong sneered again: "Look at other people, why don't they have water on their feet, but your boots are already soaked, you walk too hard!"

I cut it and said, "I don't know how to float on the water with light kungfu. People who walk normally are like this! I haven't practiced any martial arts!"

Nangong said displeasedly: "You are a big man, why don't you have any grace at all! Why do you have to speak against me every word I say? You must refute me? It is to attract my attention and make you appear Is it special?"

I said disdainfully: "Then you think highly of yourself! I want to be polite to you, but you have to know how to respect people first! If I remember correctly, you just made a move and wanted my life? I If I were an ordinary person, I would be a dead soul under your claws now!"

Nangong gave me a blank look and said, "You seem very confident?"

I snorted and said, "What do you mean by seeming? I'm just very confident! Is there anything wrong with that?"

Nangong said angrily: "There are the most men like you in the world. They are plain and ordinary, but they are so confident. Why do you have a few masters who work hard for you? What does it have to do with you?"

I curled my lips and said: "Then you ask them? Don't ask me! My self-confidence comes from the inside out. It is not my recognition of my own strength, but I feel that my self is built in my heart." It’s not given by others! I don’t care what superpowers you have, it has nothing to do with me! It’s not that you can have self-confidence only by how much better you are than others! You’re born with it, there’s nothing you can do about it! You’re very What's the matter if you don't have self-confidence? Is everything worse than others? Or is it your family members who have been belittling you since childhood and not giving you self-confidence?"

These words must have touched on her sore spot, which made her furious again: "Why am I not confident anymore? I am naturally beautiful. Not only do I look good, but I also possess unique skills. I am in charge of my own side. How can I be in this tiger's den?" Standing firm in the Longtan, I even have the power of life and death, whoever dies will die! How could I not have confidence!"

I sneered and said: "Being able to say such a thing is enough to prove that you really don't have confidence! Let me analyze it for you. I guess when you were young, you grew up in a very good family. Whether it was your father Mom, or your sisters and brothers, are better than you! This makes your childhood full of shadows of inferiority, so when you grow up, try to do your best and prove to your family that you are the best. Great! But after a while you realize that no matter how hard you try, you still can’t catch up with your goal, you are always the weakest one, so you try your best to hide your inferiority complex and pretend to be confident in front of everyone! Once you find out that there is another person who is more confident than you, you will be afraid and your belief will be shaken!"

Nangong rolled his eyes and said, "Crazy, I don't even know what you're talking about?"

I laughed and said, "The biggest enemy of man is himself! As I said, self-confidence comes from your own heart, and you give it to yourself, not by comparing yourself with others to increase your self-confidence! Do you really want to get Recognition from others, you can only accept praise, but not criticism? These are all signs of your lack of self-confidence! Even the sentence you scolded just now is to cover up your flustered heart, because I talked about your pain point and said To your fragile heart!"

Seeing that she was about to go crazy, he stopped arguing with her, and said in a calm tone: "You are actually very good, you are indeed beautiful, and you have a good temperament, with a posture of always being superior , and it is indeed able to attract many opposite sexes! With your family background and all your abilities, you should indeed have the capital of self-confidence, but unfortunately, you love comparisons too much, and you are too easily disturbed by the outside world, you are yourself , why do you have to compare with others? If you want to compare, you should also compare with your former self! How can you compare with others? What is the comparison between you and me? I can pee standing up, but you can ?"

Nangong finally cursed with a little smile: "Rogue!"

After walking for almost two hours, before reaching the end of the mine, I asked with some doubts: "Why is this mine so long? Who dug it back then, and how much manpower and material resources did it cost? How much time?"

Laozi at the front hadn't answered yet, but Nangong seemed to have opened his heart, and rushed to answer: "To be precise, it wasn't dug out, but was shaken out by an earthquake! It turned out to be a mountain, and the earthquake Afterwards, the mountain collapsed and covered the upper end of the stream, and as time continued to accumulate, it became a mine! The first person who discovered the mine at that time fell from the top! Here basically It has not been developed much, it has formed naturally by itself!"

I groaned, and my tone became friendly and said, "Then did they discover the gold mine after falling? Or did they know about it before?"

Nangong asked puzzled, "Is this important?"

I hummed and said: "Of course! If they accidentally fell down and found this gold mine, they will know that they are lucky! People who are lucky will not think about how to continue digging, just Just find a few people to dig for gold, so they won't think about how to develop. After digging, forget it, and count as much as you have? They won't go to gold prospectors to measure how much gold reserves are left, and estimate how much gold is left It can be dug! If they knew that there is gold here, then this mine is not so simple to mine, they will take it very seriously, you are not so safe here, and you will be discovered sooner or later!"

Nangong seemed to think that what I said made sense, so he didn't refute me, but nodded and said: "You are very likely! I am also looking for a place where I can shield signals and collect signals at the same time! This is hard to find! "

I thought for a while and asked, "Have you ever been to the Valley of the Dead?"

Nangong nodded and said: "I've been there, mass graves, for us, it's just to scare the cowards, there's nothing to be afraid of!"

I curled my lips and said, "That's not what I meant. Of course I know I can't scare you. I guess you've seen more dead people than living people! I mean, there's a stone forest over there where Zhou's skinning lair used to be, and there's no place there. No signal, there are few people going there, if you don’t mind, you can go there, but you have to clean up yourself, the underground... I feel disgusting!"

Nangong asked puzzledly: "What kind of disgusting method?"

I exaggeratedly said: "It's hell! I can't tell you the details. If you are interested, you can go down and see for yourself! I never thought that people can be so cruel! At that time, when we went down, I vomited, although I have little knowledge, but the few of them are well-informed, I can't stand it!"

But Laozi was very surprised and said: "That place is very suitable for us. After we go out, let's go and have a look. If it is suitable, we will move out as soon as possible! I also think this ghost place is getting more and more unsafe! Look at this drop of water It's getting worse and worse, and I'm afraid that this place will collapse at some point! It's really hard to say!"

After walking for a while, I finally saw a glimmer of light, and I could no longer see my fingers like before. Lao Zai walked in the front and shouted: "Here we are!"

I saw him standing in that light, waving to us.

I walked over, looked outside, and was startled. It turned out that there was a deep ditch outside. We were in the middle of the ditch, and we could see the sky of the deep ditch upwards, but the bottom was still bottomless. deep ditch.

Then look at Laozi holding a rope, one end of the rope is fixed to this side, and the other end is fixed to the other side of the deep ditch, the rope is in a downward trend, it is going to slip from this side to the other side, this time there is no need to jump, Just use the slippery one, and about one person's body is dug out at the other end. What I'm curious about is, even if it's over, how do I go up?No way?

Lao Zai didn't talk nonsense. After putting on the gloves, he slid directly over. The inertia caused him to hit the wall directly and almost knocked himself off. Fortunately, he held the rope firmly with his hand. After untying the rope, he It just disappeared like this, and when I looked at Nangong again, I didn't feel anxious at all, I knew it must be another mechanism, so I didn't worry about it.

The second Nangong slid over, and the same person disappeared.

Guan Ze looked at me, and I looked around and asked, "Where are Xiao Hei and Brother Kui? Why are they missing again, like ghosts, still avoiding me?"

Guan Ze smiled and said, "You are safe because they are in the dark! I don't know where they have gone. Should you go first, or should I go first?"

I mustered up my courage and said, "Isn't it just the cableway? I'll go there first, it's okay!" After finishing speaking, I pulled the rope and slid over. I wanted to use my inertia to slide over in one breath. I was worried that my inertia would be too great to stop the car, and I would bounce back, like a boy, and don't fall.As a result, I used too much strength in my hands, and when there was still a little distance left, I stopped and just hung in the air.

Guan Ze couldn't help laughing over there, and shouted at me: "Don't move, I will slide over now, kick you, and you will pass!"

After finishing speaking, it really slid towards me. In a hurry, I hurriedly climbed up with my hands alternately. Before Guan Ze kicked me, I climbed over. When I reached the place, I saw that there was a giant tree above my head. There is a hole and a rope ladder, so they climbed up from here!

It was a bit strenuous. I used the friction of the wall to climb up bit by bit, but there was no end in sight. I was worried that my arm would run out of strength for a while and I would not be able to slide down!Fortunately, a hand reached out to me soon, pulled me up, and pulled me up.

It was Laozi. After going up, he finally stepped on the ground. I looked up and saw that I had already crossed the barbed wire. There were many people walking around not far away. I asked nervously, "Where is this? Why are there so many people?"

Nangong looked back at me and said, "Da Ying, aren't you very familiar with it? You should have been here before, didn't you come in from here?"

I took a closer look again, and then reacted and said: "This is the back, I didn't notice, you really put in a lot of effort, how did you open up this road, it's really hard for you!"

Lao Zai said with some pride: "This is a road that took us three years to get through! It was a coincidence that we found the root of the tree, and we had the opportunity to go there. The road back We also carefully arranged and selected the road. When hanging the rope, we all took great risks and shot arrows over it! I was afraid that the rope would not be strong, so I found a climbing expert! It took a month to fix the rope time!"
