Song Jiang followed the middle-aged man and found that he was walking in the wheat field with brisk steps and steady breathing. He must be in good physical condition... If he really took action, he would definitely not be his opponent, so he deliberately said with a surprised look, "You are looking at such a large area of land by yourself?! Besides, what's there to see in this land? Are there still people coming to steal food now?"
The middle-aged man waved his hand and said, "No one must have stolen the food, but there are sheep and cattle farmers nearby, and occasionally wild boars appear... If no one is watching, these animals will destroy the crops. "
In order to make the trick more realistic, Song Jiang didn't forget to take out his mobile phone and look around and said, "Brother, there is no mobile phone signal here? It shouldn't be? It's not too far from the city..."
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "There used to be... but then for some unknown reason, that thing called a base station was dismantled. Besides, this is all crop land, so it's superfluous to need a mobile phone signal!"
Song Jiang smiled awkwardly after hearing this and said, "It's really not superfluous... Nowadays, everyone has a mobile phone. If you go out to play, you will get lost like me. As long as the mobile phone has a signal, you can open the navigation to find the route. How convenient. !”
Unexpectedly, the middle-aged man didn't take it seriously and said, "That thing is useless here... This is a wheat field. You only need to go out and you can find the way."
When Song Jiang heard the same thing, he nodded and said, "That makes sense... but this cropland is too big. I can't tell the difference between east, west and north as soon as I come in."
"It's okay... The place where I live is just ahead. You can rest there for a while... I will take you out later." The middle-aged man said with a sincere face.
While the two were talking, a small bungalow appeared in front of them. There were wooden tables and chairs in front of the house, and a few big roosters were raised around it. They were leisurely eating small caterpillars in the ground. When they heard the noise, they all He raised his head and looked over... They were just a few ordinary roosters, and it was not like Song Jiang had never seen them before. But when Song Jiang's eyes met with them, he suddenly felt a chill.
That kind of complicated look is definitely not what a few poultry should have. They all stared at Song Jiang. No matter how they moved around, their eyes seemed to fall on Song Jiang. And ordinary roosters would definitely be scared when they see strangers. But they all roared and surrounded him... Shocking Song Jiang, he took several steps back.
But the middle-aged man seemed to have been used to it for a long time. He waved at a few roosters and drove them further into the field. Then he smiled and said to Song Jiang, "Normally, few people come here. , they have only seen me alive, so they are not afraid of life..."
After hearing this, Song Jiang smiled dryly and said, "Yeah... this is too cruel. To tell you the truth, when I was a child, I was bitten by a rooster when I went to play at a relative's house in the countryside. It hurts to think about it now, so I'm a little afraid of these things. thing."
The middle-aged man laughed when he heard this, "Are you afraid of roosters? Then do you eat chicken?!"
"Meat is still edible... I just don't like being alive." Song Jiang said with some embarrassment.
After hearing this, the middle-aged man shook his head and said with a smile, "You city people are really interesting... Sit down, the house is too stuffy, so I won't invite you in." Then he picked up the kettle on the table and gave it to Song Jiang Pour a glass of water.
Song Jiang was really thirsty, but when he saw the slightly yellowish liquid in the cup, he suddenly felt less like drinking, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "How much can you earn in a month here?" Money?”
Logically speaking, this question is very simple. Helping people look after wheat fields is not a high-tech job, and the monthly salary should not be a secret. Most people can definitely tell it with just opening their mouths, but the middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and then He said vaguely, "It's not much money, just...more than a thousand."
"Ah...it's only more than a thousand a month!? Then why are you working so hard? The gatekeeper in our community still gets two thousand five thousand a month!" Song Jiang said in surprise.
Unexpectedly, the middle-aged man was also very surprised and said, "Is more than a thousand very small? I think it is already a lot... Then tell me how much it should be? I will talk to the boss later and ask him to increase it..."
Song Jiang saw that this middle-aged man was serious, so he thought for a while and said, "If you live here every day, that means working 24 hours a day and night, and you can't go home in between... I still have to give you five or six thousand a month." Bar!"
As a result, the middle-aged man nodded and said, "Okay...then it will be five thousand a month."
Song Jiang was stunned when he heard his words, thinking that the boss is your son? You said five thousand, just five thousand? But he didn't say anything, he just echoed, "It would be best if you can get a raise to five thousand... If you don't get a raise, just go to the city and find a job. I think you are quite strong." , if you put in a little effort in the city, the money won’t be too little.”
Song Jiang originally thought that he had said so, and the other party must ask him what jobs in the city were suitable for him, but unexpectedly the middle-aged man shook his head and said, "No need... the work here is pretty good." "
Song Jiang was speechless for a moment, thinking that this person was too stubborn, right? But then he thought, if the other person is not an ordinary person, then there must be a reason why he cannot leave this wheat field... Thinking of this, he smiled and said, "Hey, after chatting for so long, I still don't know your surname, brother. My surname is Song, and my name is Song Jiang..."
Unexpectedly, the middle-aged man still didn't answer immediately, but frowned, and then said slowly, "My surname is... Xiao, you can call me Lao Xiao."
It was understandable to Song Jiang that the other party couldn't answer the previous question immediately. Maybe it was because of his shy personality that he was embarrassed to directly tell how much money he could earn in a month. But you can’t think about what your last name is, right? This is a bit unreasonable. It feels like every question this middle-aged man answers to Song Jiang is made up on the fly...
When Meng Zhe found Zhou Shiwu, he was walking around in circles anxiously. When he saw Meng Zhe coming, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Song Jiang and I got separated... There is only one thing between the two of us." The distance between the front and back of the feet, but he disappeared in the blink of an eye.”
Meng Zhe didn't have time to think too much, so he immediately jumped into the air. He wanted to quickly locate Song Jiang's position from mid-air. In the end, he saw the wheat that Zhou Shiwu had trampled when he was looking for Song Jiang, and found that he was circling around. A big circle was looking for someone, but he couldn't get into the circle. Song Jiang should have walked into the circle surrounded by a barrier.
The existence of the barrier proves that there are defenders in the circle. If Song Jiang is not found as soon as possible, he is likely to be in danger... But the problem now is that Meng Zhe can see the barrier but cannot enter it.
An update today...
