Chapter 13 Embarrassment Thank you)
In the early morning, Mushanshan and I were walking on the path in the fields, and the wheat began to turn yellow. This was a season of ripening. There were already farmers working in the fields, while we were discussing the route to escape.
I used Mu Shanshan's jacket to surround my lower body, with my upper body naked, and Mu Shanshan was wearing pajamas wet with dew. This combination is indeed a bit weird. If someone sees it, there will definitely be bad associations. This is not what we are most worried about. What we are most worried about is that we have nothing now.
According to our inference, this is a rural area under the jurisdiction of Xi'an. In other words, I ran at least hundreds of kilometers last night, and we couldn't return to the city and residence. We didn't have an ID card, no cash, no bank card, and even no clothes. These are issues that need to be solved urgently.
"Your idea is wrong. We cannot run towards remote mountainous areas, but we should go to big cities." Mu Shanshan retorted, "It is easy to hide in the mountainous areas, but the conditions there are harsh, and every household is fixed. Two outsiders can easily arouse suspicion. The large cities have a large population density, complex structure, and a large number of migrant workers, so it is difficult to check. We can make two fake ID cards and go to Hengdian to be extras."
"Uh, you don't want to be famous, are you?" I said in surprise.
"Do you think it's the easiest job to act? It's much more free than those who work in the factory. Being an extra does not require strict scrutiny. The so-called big hidden in the city is to make a living in the downtown area." Mu Shanshan said confidently, "Of course, with your current skills, you can steal, rob and kill people..."
"Don't just say something unforgivable, okay? I just snatched a cell phone." I said aggrievedly, "Then I'll listen to you in everything."
"This is almost the same. I just remind you not to do things that violate the law and discipline. Although we are fugitives, we are innocent. Don't complain about social injustice after suffering a little grievance. You must have a correct attitude and not have bad thoughts." Mu Shanshan warned, "After I arrive in Hengdian, I can continue to shoot documentaries. You must make a transformation for me at that time."
This is probably her true thought, but she was right. Do you really have to go to the Dragon Rack to be a savage?
"I'm not sure about this. After last night, the irritability in my heart disappeared and there was no urge to transform. Can it prove that I have become normal?" I said luckily.
"You'd better not have too much hope, or it's a cyclical behavior, just like werewolfs transforming on the full moon night, you may have an attack from time to time." Mushansansi said, "Observe it for a while, if there is no abnormal reaction, go to the hospital for a physical examination."
"Forget it. With my current physical fitness indicators, I will definitely be abnormal. At that time, those doctors will treat me as a monster." I worried.
"Okay, let's solve the problem of clothes and breakfast first. I'm hungry after leaving for so long." Mu Shanshan complained.
At this time, we came to a village and saw that the sun was rising at a height of over 8 o'clock. Like most villages, most of the elderly and children were mostly in the city, and young people went to work. Our appearance made the elderly who were chatting and playing mahjong stare at them, which was indeed a frustration.
We came to the front of a small shop, where a middle-aged woman was looking at us at a loss.
"We were kidnapped and had nothing on us. Can you find two old clothes for my husband to change it? When we return to the city, we will send you the money." Mu Shanshan said with a sad face.
"Kidnap? Then do you want to call the police?" the middle-aged woman said in surprise, "Do you want to contact your family?"
"No need, we just want to find a piece of clothing and go home quickly. My family paid the ransom and the kidnappers let us go." Mu Shanshan stopped him, "We were taken from the city by the kidnappers from the city last night before we drove us out of the car. We kept walking in the dark, and we only met your village now."
"Oh, it's so pitiful!" the middle-aged woman sighed, "I'll find you two clothes. Are you hungry? Our place is too far-fetched. If you want to go back to the city, you have to take a bus to the town. There is a bus to the county town, and then transfer from the county town."
So I put on a badly fitted clothes and had a little breakfast. During this period, Mu Shanshan kept complaining pitifully. She made up a very tragic life experience, which was the kind of suffering when she was a child, and when she grew up, she finally had some money and was miserable. This caused the disaster today. In the end, the middle-aged woman sponsored us for fifty yuan travel expenses.
"Is this a fraud?" I asked carefully as I walked on the road.
"How is this a fraud? This is receiving relief." Mu Shanshan argued, "I didn't ask for money. She saw that we had pity on our relief. We couldn't shirk her good intentions, so this is an act of gifting, and it was something that both parties were willing to do without any force."
"You have a minor in the course "Eloquence and Speech" in college?" I asked.
"How do you know?" Mu Shanshan said in surprise.
It is so important to learn more knowledge in college. You may not be able to use it in normal times, but it is a powerful tool for survival at critical moments.
It was already noon when we walked to the town. We walked for two or three hours. There was a road I carried with Mushanshan on my back. For a city man who was used to taking a bus, half an hour was exercise, and one hour was abused.
It took another half an hour from the town to the county town. After having a meal in the county town, we faced a problem, that is, we had no money, the current social prices are soaring and inflation is very strong, and fifty yuan is a drop in the bucket for two people.
We squatted on the side of the road, watching the crowd coming and going, the sun slowly moving westward, and we encountered an economic crisis in this strange small county.
"In addition to cheating and stealing, is there any way to get cash quickly?" Mu Shanshan held his face with both hands and thought hard.
"You can pick it up as long as someone drops your wallet." I responded.
"It's not funny at all!" Mu Shanshan said angrily, "It seems that this is the first time I'm having trouble with money. In the past, I would hesitate when I saw famous brand clutch bags. That's different from the current situation. It seems that you must not have money."
This really makes us difficult. It is difficult to get a job without any ID. The only feasible way seems to be begging, but it makes us all feel embarrassed. A girl in pajamas and a man in poor old clothes squatted on the side of the road in a daze.
"Let's go and rob!" Mu Shanshan suddenly made up his mind.
