The Sabbath Chapter 35: The poem of fate

The pale light, the muffled roar hidden under the ground, and the blunt sound of machinery rubbing against each other Ronggui felt all of this quietly.

Xiaomei is the shortest.

Therefore, someone deliberately lined up and got in front of him. The man was already standing in front of him. After a while, he turned around arrogantly, lowered his head, and said contemptuously to Xiaomei: "Sorry, I didn't see you! You are so, short,— —”

Ronggui's first reaction was to grab Xiaomei, and he reflexively worried that Xiaomei would resist because of this. After all, now he only has one head left, so he doesn't have the capital to help Xiaomei.

However, he quickly realized that now he has no hands to hold Xiaomei.

However——

Xiaomei did not respond to this.

He didn't even raise his head to look at the other party, he just stood there dumbly, without any reaction.

As if the man in front of me does not exist.

No reaction is more effective than any reaction to some extent. The man looked at Xiaomei without reaction. He may have wanted to push forward and provoke further at first, but soon he remembered that it was waiting for work. If you pick something up, there is no good fruit for you, so he clenched his fist, and the man turned around again.

On the other hand, the people standing behind Xiaomei snickered one after another after realizing that Xiaomei was "swallowing her breath", and all pushed in front of Xiaomei.

So they lined up for a long time, and they managed to get a little ahead of the line, and they fell back to the end of the line again.

Xiaomei's expression was as calm as ever, but Ronggui suddenly felt that Xiaomei in front of him became scary.

Obviously just a tattered and small robot, obviously a partner who lives with him every day, and obviously he is hanging on his chest, but at this moment, Ronggui suddenly felt that the distance between Xiaomei and himself was very far away.

Xiaomei's body is short, but his soul is in the clouds, a place higher than the mountains and farther than the clouds, a place he can't look up to at all, neither sadness nor joy in his eyes, He is indifferent to the affairs of the world, and everything in the world has nothing to do with him, just like a **** in the sky!

Ronggui finally thought of the most appropriate word.

Obviously standing in the crowd, there are so many voices around, but the figure left by Xiaomei is extremely lonely, as if he has experienced a hundred or even a thousand years of loneliness.

Such Xiaomei makes Ronggui feel strange and scary.

But

Xiaomei is Xiaomei! He has even seen Xiaomei without underwear

Ronggui soon became "not afraid".

He decided to chat with Xiaomei.

The reason why he didn't speak before was because he was afraid of attracting attention: a robot holding a head looks weird, right? It would be bad if he was bullied because of being weird, but now it seems that he can't escape the fate of being "bullied" if he says nothing, so what is he still holding back?

"Xiaomei, you are more patient than me. Although I should praise you for being patient, after all, we can't beat each other now, but I am still a little angry." Ronggui first praised Xiaomei's handling method, but he was a straight line after all. The people who are in a good position start to express their emotions without saying a few words of praise.

"Why are you angry?" Xiaomei's voice sounded from above.

"They are too bullying. They have been bullied since yesterday. This place is not good, really not good." He obviously wanted to comfort Xiaomei, but Ronggui let out some of the darkness in his heart while talking. Little ideas revealed themselves.

Probably because Xiaomei's performance was too calm, so that Ronggui couldn't help but indulge a little.

After listening to Ronggui's nagging, Xiaomei was silent for a moment, and then suddenly read out a long sentence.

Ronggui didn't understand at all!

Didn't understand a single word!

But who is Ronggui? He often can't understand, so he is an open-minded person.

Then he humbly asked Xiaomei for advice: "Xiaomei, what did you just say? I don't understand."

"It is the language of the Laiza tribe in the west. The Laiza language is known as the most beautiful language in the world. They are proud of their own language. That race has produced many poets and world-famous poems. , I just read a line from one of the poems." Xiaomei rarely said a long paragraph.

"Oh, I can't see that Xiaomei is still a cultural person." After feeling a sigh, Ronggui continued to ask: "It's really nice, what does that poem say?"

In fact, Ronggui has no interest in poetry at all, he just wants to hook up with Xiaomei and talk more, after all, the talking Xiaomei looks much more normal

"" Xiaomei paused for a moment, and then slowly said: "Everyone's fate is already arranged by the gods."

"Don't care about someone rushing ahead of you, because the position behind him is yours."

"There are ravines ahead, holes in the ground, and death ahead, but you are the only one who is in the safest place."

Xiaomei tried her best to explain it in terms that Ronggui could understand, but——

"?" Ronggui still had a question mark on his face.

"" Xiaomei was silent, and then said: "To put it simply, don't care about gains and losses, don't care about the momentary success, everyone's fate is predetermined, there may be disasters ahead, and terrible disasters may appear ahead , and the reason why the person who took your place will take your place is because death is his predetermined destiny."

Ronggui was dumbfounded.

"This poem is so vicious! It's a curse! I thought poems were all very high-level and educational!" On the ancient poems that came out for the flowers of the motherland to study carefully.

"Poetry is originally a way of directly expressing one's feelings, originally an expression of emotion" Xiaomei said lightly, but——

So far, their conversation has also been overheard by the person who cut in front of them. That person was just idle and listening to the chat of two "weak chickens". I care, but it's probably boring, and he just wants to spread it out to let others know.

"This dwarf is cursing us! He said that there will be a terrible disaster ahead, and the person who takes his position will be damned--" He deliberately took out of context for fear that what he said would not be eye-catching enough.

"Huh? That's not the case—" Ronggui hurriedly tried to interrupt the other party, but before he could finish speaking, even the man just now hadn't finished speaking, there was a sudden burst of terror from the ground under their feet The shock!

Many people reflexively squatted on the ground, covered their heads, and squatted down. This is people's instinctive reaction when they discover unknown changes.

Only Xiaomei didn't make any movements, he just stretched out a palm, and then gently placed it on Ronggui's face, covering Ronggui's "eyes".

"What's the matter? What's the matter?" Ronggui who couldn't see anything cried anxiously.

Time seems to have passed for a long time, Xiaomei finally removed her hand from his face.

Hurriedly asking Xiaomei to adjust her position, Ronggui finally saw everything around her clearly.

All the tall people in front of them were gone.

No, they are not leaving or disappearing, but

Ronggui looked curiously at those gray-faced people squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands, and it took a long time before he connected those people with the previous arrogant guys.

There was a lot of ashes on their heads. Looking carefully, Xiaomei's face was also covered with ashes. Only then did he understand why Xiaomei had put her hand on his face just now: Well, can you help yourself to block the ashes? Xiaomei is so considerate!

However, this was the thought that flashed through his mind instantly when he saw those people around him. Wearing a thick mask, Ronggui could feel the other party's strong emotions.

Scared?

Nervous?

Panic?

Afraid?

Yes, it is fear!

Those people squatted on the ground, holding their heads, looking at him with fear!

Wait——

They don't see him, but

Xiao Mei?

Ronggui raised his head to look at Xiaomei ignorantly, and then

"The No. 4 pit has collapsed!!!! Someone just went in inside!" A scream suddenly broke the silence, following the direction of the sound, Ronggui looked in the direction ahead.

This time, there was no one in front of him, and his sight passed through the crowd without hindrance, and he had a panoramic view of the scenery ahead.

This is also the first time that Ronggui saw clearly the place where he had a long queue.

Ahead is a piece of funnel-shaped land, black land, very deep, at least Ronggui can't see the deepest part at a glance, and there are layers of lines on the wall of the "funnel", which can be seen from a distance It looks like a texture, but it is actually a road, the way for miners and mining vehicles to enter and exit.

All kinds of dull sounds underground come from the deepest part of the "funnel".

There is the mine where he and Xiaomei will work.

At this moment, a siren sounded from the bottom of the mine pit. It was the siren on the emergency rescue vehicle that would only appear in an accident.

The burrow that came out of nowhere just now is because of that, it collapsed there.

"Heavenly Father! The mine that the person who just jumped in line and snatched his place just passed is mine No. 4!"

"Oh my god!!! His words came true!!!"

The man closest to them, that is, the man who jumped up and said that Xiaomei cursed other people, suddenly let out a terrified big foot. This time, no matter what, he didn't dare to use the title "dwarf" again.

Under the guidance of his voice, everyone remembered what happened before the earthquake. Although what the man said was taken out of context, there were not a few people who heard only a few words. After all, the conversation between Xiaomei and Ronggui Did not hide it.

I don't know who was the first to jump up and run away. With the first person, there was the second soon, and not long after, all the people who were inserted in front of them disappeared.

The only thing left in the air is the dull knocking sound and the sound of sirens.

All the miners who applied for the job ran away, and there were only two of them left.

Hmm one and a half?

The incident on the applicant's side also attracted the attention of the original staff of the mine.

The vehicle transporting the wounded passed by them, and not long after, a short man with a hunched back walked over from the front with his hands behind his back.

The gas mask on his face looks particularly thick, Ronggui can't see the other person's face clearly at all.

"It's more like a prophecy than a curse. Could it be that you had a premonition of this disaster?" Standing still beside Xiaomei, the man spoke.

The voice is very vicissitudes, it should be a middle-aged man who is not young.

He is really not tall, standing in front of Xiaomei is only a head taller than Xiaomei.

Raising her head slightly, Xiaomei looked up at him: "How is that possible?"

"Hehe" came a deep voice from under the mask worn by the other party, and did not answer Xiaomei's words, the man continued to ask: "Then guess what, those young people who just went in, are they dead?"

""Xiaomei quietly supported Ronggui, and said for a while, "I'm not dead."

"Hehe, your prediction was right again. They didn't die, but the big man who went in first grabbed someone else's position and was hit by a stone. He suffered the most serious injuries, but it was nothing more than breaking two It's just a bone."

The word that the man used is very interesting. He used the word "again".

Xiaomei did not answer the call.

The man walked to a small metal table next to him: "Do you still want to work here? Everyone else has left, and you are now at the front of the line."

Seeing that Xiaomei didn't move, the man said again: "Don't worry, you will not be assigned to the No. 4 pit where the accident happened just now. After this incident, although the people who went in are fine, the miners will definitely be scared. There will be fewer applicants every day, and we will raise wages! Will you come?"

Xiaomei finally walked over slowly.

He filled out the form in his hand and gave it to the other party, and received a small card from the other party. He was assigned to the No. 7 mine pit, and Xiaomei became a miner with a salary that was three times the usual points.
