The sky was overcast, with light rain falling in the sky. The raindrops were sometimes dense and sometimes sparse. From time to time, one or two thunders could be heard from behind the dark clouds.
In a corner of the stocking forest, Dong Qiangqiang, his face painted with homemade black oil paint, and his body covered with leaves, shrub strips and other green plants, hid under a tall tree as thick as a bowl, listening intently to every move around him.
Opposite him, under another tree of the same thickness, is the sleepy Lei Lanting.
"Hey." Dong Qiangqiang threw a pebble onto Lei Lanting and shouted softly, "Don't sleep."
Lei Lanting was suddenly hit by a stone. He was startled and fell to the ground. The rope that was lying loosely on the ground was immediately straightened by him, and a large piece of fallen leaves on the ground was immediately shaken up.
Dong Qiangqiang was startled and quickly let go of the rope he was holding. At the same time, he ran towards Lei Lanting and whispered: "Let go. Don't pull the rope."
"Huh? Ah, ah." Lei Lanting didn't seem to realize that Dong Qiangqiang was talking to him, and his hand was still holding the rope tightly.
In the blink of an eye, Dong Qiangqiang was in front of him and patted his face twice: "Wake up, don't sleep."
"Huh? Where am I? What am I going to do?" Lei Lanting asked weakly, holding his head.
"Are you still asking 'who am I'?" Dong Qiangqiang said angrily, "You are Lei Lanting, we are in the free range forest now."
"Oh, that's right, Free Range Forest..." Lei Lanting seemed to remember. He raised his head and looked at Dong Qiangqiang with some shame, "I didn't delay anything just now, did I?"
"You haven't fully sobered up yet, why don't you go back first?" Dong Qiangqiang saw that he looked like he couldn't wake up, so he persuaded him nicely, "I can do it myself. Anyway, I'm here to test today."
"I won't sleep anymore, I definitely won't sleep anymore." Lei Lanting said as he yawned loudly, forced his eyes open and asked, "How long have we been here?"
"Almost 3 hours."
"Is there any movement?" Lei Lanting shivered, not knowing if it was because of the rain.
Dong Qiangqiang shook his head, ran back to his position, and picked up the rope on the ground again.
"I don't understand, why are you here in such a hurry?" Lei Lanting yawned one after another, "Let's talk about it next week."
"It's something we have to do sooner or later, why not do it earlier?" Dong Qiangqiang said softly, "If we can't do it, we can also find other jobs quickly to save wasting time."
"It's been 3 hours now. Is it as you expected?"
"Well, it's pretty much what I thought. First, there may not be many pigs in the woods. Second, the food I cooked is too bland," Dong Qiangqiang's eyes fell on a large basin placed between the two of them. The pig food he made was also their bait. "Maybe the pigs can't smell it, so it seems like the seasoning should be stronger next time. Fortunately, I've thought of this before, so I'm going to try it now." Plan B."
"Do you have a plan B?" Lei Lanting looked surprised.
Dong Qiangqiang dug in the bushes behind him for a while, took out a bottle of vodka from it, lowered his body and walked to the big basin, poured the wine into it, and then gently stirred it with a branch.
"What if you add wine and it still doesn't attract you? Is one bottle too little?"
"Last time, the wild boar also fell down after one bottle. If we can't attract it, we will continue to wait and see if the effect is good at night. The German people on the forum you told me said that pigs like to come out at night, and maybe three of them will come at once. Maybe the four heads."
"Three or four heads?" Lei Lanting exclaimed.
At this moment, a rustling sound of leaves suddenly came from the distance. The sound sounded near and far away, and seemed to be absent. Dong Qiangqiang quickly put his finger to his mouth and made a "forbidden speech" gesture. Lei Lanting quickly closed his mouth and tightened the rope in his hand.
But the sound disappeared after a while, and the surroundings became silent again. Only the rustling of raindrops falling on the leaves could be heard.
"Do you remember what happened last night after I asked you for the address of the bar?" Dong Qiangqiang suddenly asked.
Lei Lanting looked at the gloomy sky, and his mood became melancholy again.
Outside the terminal building of Frankfurt Airport, a black Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle parked quietly on the roadside.
Not long after, a thin old man wearing a dark blue peaked cap quickly walked out of the automatic door pushing a silver-white suitcase. He looked around and soon discovered where the Mercedes-Benz was parked.
He opened the car door lightly and got into the car nimbly. As soon as the door was closed, the Mercedes-Benz immediately swerved into the traffic flow of various vehicles on the main road. After several turns, merging and overtaking, it had already appeared on the ring road overpass leading to the city. It was fast and slow, like a black ghost, disappearing into the vast night in a short while.
Scorpion Bar on Saturday night.
Lei Lanting staggered to the back of the long sofa, pushed the back of the sofa with both hands, lowered his head and said, "Please, please, this... Gecko... the address of the bar... you... know... no ...You know? My brother...is coming...to find me."
The young couple who were in the sweet world were startled by the sudden appearance of the drunkard. At the same time, they turned their heads and saw Lei Lanting looking at them with a smile, his mouth full of alcohol.
The couple quickly stood up, and the girl immediately hid behind the man. The man looked more than 1.8 meters tall, much taller than Lei Lanting.
"Hey, you scared my girlfriend." The man said as he pushed Lei Lanting's shoulder, "Get away, you idiot!"
"Yes... I'm sorry..." Lei Lanting bowed his head to the girl and apologized, then glared at the man's face and said, "Did you... just... scold me?"
"Why are you scolding you?" The man shouted angrily and pushed Lei Lanting's shoulder again. The girl pulled the man's arm from behind but was pushed away by the man gently, "You drunk idiot! Stay away from us. !Go back to your..."
Before he could finish speaking, Lei Lanting's fist hit his face with a loud sound.
Before the man could fight back, Lei Lanting lost his center of gravity because of his drunkenness, and fell towards the boy.
The man was startled and quickly dodged to one side. Lei Lanting directly bumped into the frightened girl behind the man. The two fell to the sofa beside him, and then fell from the sofa to the ground.
The man was startled and quickly went to help his girlfriend.
The girl was pinned under the sofa by Lei Lanting and could not move at all. Lei Lanting fell hard and lost consciousness for a few seconds.
The man used all his strength to turn the drunk Lei Lanting to the side. Just as he helped his girlfriend up, Lei Lanting, who was leaning on the foot of the sofa, felt his throat itch and the wine in his stomach suddenly returned. Come up and spit on the girl with a "wow" sound.
The girl was stunned by his sudden move and did not react for a moment.
In the end, the man reacted faster and knocked Lei Lanting to the ground with one slap.
The fists hit Lei Lanting's body like a rainstorm. He felt no pain at all, only a burst of sadness.
The man was finally pulled away by the girl, and Lei Lanting lay motionless on the ground. He suddenly remembered that after losing a fight when he was young, he had also been lying alone on the ground in a daze.
If only people would not grow up, they would not have these troubles. He sighed, his eyelids gradually drooping.
