Pretend To Be a Boss

  Chapter 40 Hurry Up

  Qiao Shanshan's eyes were wide open, her cheeks and jaw were held by a force, and she had to open her mouth. Her consciousness was recovering rapidly, and she saw a strange man in the corner of her eyes.

   "You're welcome. It's the first time we meet. My name is Tang Xian."

   After stuffing Boguo into Qiao Shanshan's mouth, Tang Xian smiled. The tone was soft, like a gentle and warm man. Tang Xian also thought he was very warm. He saved Qiao Shanshan's life and even fed her with his own hands.

  I think the first impression is very good.

  Qiao Shanshan only felt a sour taste on her taste buds. But people are a little more energetic.

  She didn't speak, but stared at Tang Xian with wide eyes.

   Tang Xian was stunned for two seconds, then suddenly realized.

  The principle is probably the same as a person can swallow a light bulb, but can't spit it out. Qiao Shanshan has no strength now, and it seems that she can't bite the boguo, and she can't spit it out.

  There seems to be something wrong with this picture,

  Qiao Shanshan's face was a little red, I don't know if it was because of anger, or because of something else.

   "Who are you?" Her voice was weak, but her tone was a little wary.

"I've already introduced her, her name is Dong Ran, and this is my sister, Tang Xiaojiu. In short, we are here to save you. In addition, I have formed a team and I am short of a doctor. So I am here to recruit you by the way. of."

  Tang Xian thought that he had plenty of time, but he still chose to cut to the chase.

   Dongran didn't want to talk anymore.

  Brother Tang's first impression on Qiao Shanshan was probably as bad as it could be.

  Seeing that Qiao Shanshan didn't eat, Tang Xian pointed to the fruit and said:

   "This is Bo..."

   "I know, you don't need to tell me, shut up." As a doctor, Qiao Shanshan naturally knows some plants in the mining area.

  Her eyes were cold, but she still accepted Tang Xian's kindness.

   Among the methods of suicide, the most impossible is to starve and suffocate oneself to death.

  Once the thirst for food or oxygen reaches a certain level, the mind will collapse instantly.

   Qiao Shanshan doesn't like eating in front of people, especially... in front of strangers. In particular, there was a man staring at him calmly. It's just that Qiao Shanshan is really hungry.

  Looking at the juicy bo fruit, Tang Xiaojiu was greedy again: "Brother Tang Xian, is that fruit delicious?"

   "Would you like to try it?" Tang Xian took out another smaller boguo.

  After Tang Xiaojiu took it, she took a big bite without hesitation. Two seconds later, her eyes became dull.

  Brother Tang Xian’s food is delicious. This fruit is so unpalatable. Is it really unpalatable or is my tongue broken?

   "Is it delicious? Eat more if it tastes good." Tang Xian smiled.

   The first bite must have been a hallucination, so Tang Xiaojiu took another bite, but it was still unpalatable. Her panic and self-doubt made Qiao Shanshan, who was stiff-faced, laugh.

   "Why are you bullying the children. Little sister, this is not tasty, you should throw it away quickly."

  Tang Xiaojiu glanced at Tang Xian, then at Qiao Shanshan, then at the supposedly delicious food, and began to doubt Hu Sheng.

  Seeing the cuteness and innocence of the child, and Qiao Shanshan being rescued again, her expression softened a little.

   "I have to go back. I have been here for many days. Thank you for saving me. I have some assets. Tell me your contact information, and I will repay you." Qiao Shanshan was very calm.

   Tang Xian gave the red-tailed tree fruit to Tang Xiaojiu, and took the boguo from Tang Xiaojiu's hand.

  Tang Xiaojiu took a mouthful of the delicious red-tailed fruit, and suddenly realized that it was all a hallucination just now. How could the food given by brother Tang Xian not taste good?

Tang Xian said: "Your request is very reasonable, but my request is that you join my team. I don't want to waste time with you, so I'll make it clear. Either you die here and let the Scorching Blood Group completely become history, or You just choose to survive, and I will take you to kill that snake, although it is meaningless, but you are obsessed with revenge, and you have fulfilled your life goal."

  Take a casual bite of Boguo, Tang Xian just like when he was picking cucumbers with his father when he was a child, holding a cucumber in his hand, he would take a bite from time to time.

   Those who care about this kind of thing, in Tang Xian's opinion, are not hungry enough.

  Qiao Shanshan thinks this person speaks very straightforwardly. She shook her head:

"My team members and I have practiced together for four years. We have worked hard to climb to the 29th place on the hunter list. Although they are dead, they will always be my team members and partners. It is impossible for me to abandon them. If I can promise you other conditions."

   "It's admirable, let's say goodbye."

   Tang Xian got up and pulled Tang Xiaojiu away.

   Dongran was stunned.

what happened? Why didn't Brother Tang persist for a few more rounds?

   Tang Xian walked to the entrance of the cave, saw Dongran was still standing, so he glanced at Dongran suspiciously.

  Dongran looked back at Qiao Shanshan, then at Tang Xian, and finally followed.

gone.

  Qiao Shanshan was also a little confused.

  Although what she said to Tang Xian was not a hypocritical politeness, but that she really didn't want to join another team, but she thought in her heart that even if they couldn't reach an agreement, this man would always save her, right?

  He actually left directly?

   He will come back, right?

  Qiao Shanshan suddenly panicked.

  …

  …

   Tang Xian did leave, but not far.

  In Canshi Canyon, a rare place where you can see the night through the branches and leaves of the locust tree, I took Tang Xiaojiu and started to enjoy the moon in this wilderness.

  The moon is full tonight.

  Dongran looked at Tang Xian indifferently, and said with some anxiety:

   "Brother Tang, we have all come here. Even if Ms. Qiao refuses to join the team, we still have to save people."

   "Go as you like, you don't have to tell me." Tang Xian said calmly.

   "...So should we save her or not? If we don't save her, Miss Qiao will really die."

   "I really envy people who didn't grow up at the bottom."

   "Ah... what does this mean." Dongran was puzzled.

   "Qiao Shanshan will die. There is no suspense about this matter. In a desperate situation, if a person does not have the consciousness to give up everything to live, then when death comes, he has no right to regret and complain."

   Tang Xian found that the moon is never tired of looking at it. No wonder there are so many complex emotions in human history, all pinned on the moon.

  Tang Xiaojiu was also squatting, looking at the starry sky above her head. She couldn't understand what Brother Tang Xian and Big Sister were talking about. She just felt that the moon was so round and looked delicious.

   "I came here, which is her only chance to live, breaking the cause and effect of her death. She can choose to do whatever it takes to satisfy my request and please me. This is her right."

   "I can also choose to help her unconditionally and take her away. I can also be indifferent and just look at the scenery passing by here. This is my right."

   Dongran froze.

  Brother Tang at this moment has an uncomfortable rationality.

"Using morality to guide thinking, I admire this kind of person, and I sincerely hope that such a person can be treated kindly by fate. If possible, I also want to live in the ancient times of the 21st century. Children in that era often complained about their lives, but But you don’t have to live a precarious life like me and those low-level employees.”

"The rule of living at the bottom is very simple. More work, more rewards, equal exchange. If you want to get anything, you have to pay a price. Qiao Shanshan wants to live, but also wants to refuse my request. In my opinion, it is her The determination to live is not enough, such a person, even if she becomes my teammate in the future, she will die sooner or later. If you can't make Tang not die, then die now."

  Tang Xian's tone was as calm as ever, but these words sounded a bit cold-blooded.

   But that's what he thought.

  A woman is in deep danger due to her own reasons and is about to die. As long as no one saves her, she will definitely die.

   At this time a man came, he can save the dying woman. But the woman died in the end, so should the cause of the woman's death be attributed to the man not saving him?

  Tang Xian won't think about such boring questions, because temporary workers die every day at the bottom, and there are always people who can save them.

  Some people can indeed survive, and they can do anything to survive, so in the eyes of the redeemer, such people are worthy of being redeemed.

   There are also some people who choose to die with pride, Tang Xian respects these people.

   But disagree.

   Tang Xian understood and supported Qiao Shanshan's idea of ​​living, but as a low-level person, he said: Yes, but you have to pay more, or you won't have enough affection.

   "Let's go, the night wind is a bit chilly, let's set up a tent after leaving the valley."

   After a long silence, Tang Xian suddenly spoke, took Tang Xiaojiu's hand, and walked north.

  …

  …

  The night is very deep. Windy tonight, blowing south.

  Dongran didn't feel sleepy, and neither did Tang Xian, especially Tang Xiaojiu, who was so greedy for looking at the moon. After setting up the tent north of Remnant Time Valley, Tang Xian planned to make a plate of braised pig's ears.

   But first, he spent some time killing two pigs.

  This is why Dongran didn't feel sleepy.

  Tang Xian arranged for her to guard the tent and not allow her to leave the tent. He took Tang Xiaojiu out for a stroll.

  During this process, there were some frightening tremors outside Canshi Canyon.

   Not long after, Tang Xian and Tang Xiaojiu came back. With four **** pig ears in hand,

  The pig ears are big enough, one piece is as big as two palms spread out.

   Wash the four pieces of pig ears and put them in the pot.

   Looks like enough to feed three people for a while.

  Dongran didn't ask how these two pig ears came from, and she couldn't recognize what kind of mining area creature they were. The wild boars in the mining area are hard to kill. But this standard of not being easy to kill does not apply to Brother Tang.

   About an hour later, Tang Xiaojiu rolled all over the floor greedily, and Tang Xian finally finished a plate of braised pig's ears.

   "Although those two tin can pigs are hard, fortunately their ears are soft. Come on, let's eat." Tang Xian brought out the pig ears.

  Tang Xiaojiu was resurrected with full blood and jumped up on the spot. Dongran originally thought that he had no appetite, but Tang Xiaojiu put the plate in front of his mouth.

   "Big sister, you eat." Tang Xiaojiu looked at Dongran with wide eyes.

   Tang Xian said: "In the world of foodie kids, being willing to share delicious food shows that you are very important to her."

  When Dongran heard this, he naturally refused the little girl's kindness.

   After eating a few slices, I couldn't help it anymore. The more I ate, the bigger the pig's ear was half gone under the attack of the two women.

  Because Tang Xian didn't save Qiao Shanshan, Dongran was still a little uncomfortable, thinking that he didn't know what to eat now.

   Later she realized that she was thinking too much.

Delicious.

   Tang Xian did not let the two of them finish eating this time, and said:

   "The growth hormone secreted by the stomach can not only make people want to eat, but also strengthen the sense of smell. You should eat more slowly."

  …

  …

   Qiao Shanshan felt a little unbearable.

  A Boguo refreshed her a lot.

  But the most difficult period of hunger is actually the period when you still have the strength to feel hungry.

  Especially now she can smell the sweet and salty smell unique to braised dishes.

   This is just as bad as hell.

  As a doctor, she certainly knows what her body needs.

   Qiao Shanshan gritted her teeth.

   Don't bring such a bully, when people are most hungry, they still smell delicious food.

  The wind blows to the south, that must be why the man started cooking in the north on purpose.

  Qiao Shanshan didn't think about it for too long. After smelling the smell, she finally couldn't hold it back. Anyway, even if you die, you have to be a full ghost, right?

  She stood up and walked slowly to the north.

  Following the sweet guidance in her breath, she didn't speed up her pace.

   It even stopped.

   Qiao Shanshan looked at the darkness in the north and couldn't help feeling a little puzzled.

  In the north, these days she has been wanting to leave this place to chase the big snake that killed the scorching blood group members.

   But there are always two tin pigs guarding the north side.

  Among the creatures of the perfect level, the tin pig is relatively weak, but after all, it is the perfect level. Qiao Shanshan has no chance of winning, not to mention two adult tin pigs, even an old one.

  She looked suspiciously at the night ahead.

  How dare Tang Xian eat in that kind of place? Or this smell is easy to attract the beast's food.

  What about the two tin pigs? Speaking of which, what about the wild beasts around Canshi Canyon?

  Qiao Shanshan took another step forward. This taste that is irresistible to the human stomach cannot be made by these beasts, it must be Tang Xian.

  Maybe they don't realize it's a dangerous thing to do. Qiao Shanshan was a little worried, so she quickened her pace. After walking for about ten minutes, she saw a dimly colored tent.

   Tang Xian and Dongran also saw Qiao Shanshan not far away, Dongran was overjoyed, Tang Xian was very calm and said:

   "Come in for something to eat?"

   "There are two perfection-level creatures in this place. Aren't you afraid to attract them!" Qiao Shanshan was also out of concern.

   Tang Xian said:

   "They're on the plate, hurry up, I won't return the pot when it's cold."
