Reborn King of Marketing

"Team leader, you're awake!"

"I just said that team leader Fu Dai Ming Tai is absolutely fine!"

Five or six strong young men separated from the bushes and walked closer.

The leader was the tall and burly Mountain Leopard. When they saw Zhang Xuebing, they all smiled brightly and were even happier than having a wife.

Zhang Xuebing frowned, "Where's the hemp pole?"

The old scholar explained that there were originally more than ten people who came down. In addition to the younger brothers Ma Gan, there were also mountain leopards and monkeys who were most loyal to Zhang Xuebing.

In order to search for Zhang Erdou's whereabouts, they divided into two groups.

Ma Gan went downstream, while they went upstream.

Shanbao briefly talked about what he saw.

The entire valley is not large. In his words, it is only about a few hundred acres of land.

Except for mountain streams, most of the valley is flat land. The direction they were going was surrounded by mountains, and they had to climb cliffs to get in and out.

The mountain stream in front of us runs through the entire valley from west to east, and its source is several waterfalls on the cliff.

Year-round torrents have carved out several deep pools at the bottom of the valley, and the overflowing water has converged into mountain streams.

They searched around and found nothing eye-catching except for some animals, plants and weathered bones.

"Go and have a rest, the meal is almost ready!"

It was already dark now, and it was very difficult to climb back. Furthermore, Zhang Xuebing had to find the whereabouts of Zhang Erdou and the others, otherwise he would have trouble sleeping and eating.

So I decided to spend the night in the valley tonight. As for tomorrow, whether I can find Zhang Erdou or not, I have to go back to the village.

It is now the beginning of August, and a heavy rainstorm is coming. If you are trapped in this valley during the heavy rain, you may have to go see the Dragon King.

The aroma of rice porridge mixed with a hint of fishy smell spreads at the bottom of the valley.

The little girl stood next to the bonfire, blew in the mist, turned around and shouted in a clear oriole-like voice - it's time to eat!

After a long day of exhaustion, people could no longer bear the aroma of the food and gathered around, carrying their own portions of fish porridge and dry food, squatting by the bonfire and sucking away.

Others' porridge only contained rice and fish soup, but Zhang Xuebing's bowl was filled with white, tender and smooth fish fillets.

In order to help him recover as quickly as possible, the little girl gave him all the fish fillets.

Zhang Xuebing buried his head in eating without any ceremony.

He will never understand the false pretense of selling food and clothing. The more you pay, the more you should get. Absolute average is the greatest unfairness.

The villagers also think this is a matter of course. If the team leader is injured, it is natural that he should eat more, and no one will have any objections.

Just as everyone was enjoying a rare dinner, a voice with a broken voice shouted in the distance, "Ha, it's so delicious. You guys ate it first!"

Following the shouting, a burst of chaotic footsteps sounded from the side of the mountain stream, and then five or six young boys appeared in sight.

It's Ma Gan and the others who are back. These are Zhang Xuebing's die-hard brothers!

"Go and eat quickly, the pot is hot!" Zhang Xuebing raised his head and saw that they were unharmed, and his heart was completely in his stomach.

These half-grown lads were all starving, so they all greeted the boss, picked up their own portions of food, and sat around him to eat.

The delicious fish was paired with the fragrant rice porridge, which was very delicious. Zhang Xuebing ate it so sweetly that he finished a large bowl of fish porridge in a short time.

Suddenly I felt comfortable all over, and even the pain seemed to have disappeared.

He looked at everyone and saw that everyone had almost eaten, and then asked Ma Gan, "Did you find anything over there?"

Ma Gan put the empty bowl at his feet, pointed to the mountain stream and said, "We arrived at the end of the valley. The mountain stream flowed into a cave there. It must have flowed outside. I couldn't find the way out of the valley, but I found something.

A corpse!"

Zhang Xuebing stood up with a cry, "Where is the body?"

"I'm afraid you'll be disgusted, so I'll drag you to the edge of the mountain stream!" Ma Gan smiled naively.

"Take me to see it!"

After a while, Zhang Xuebing and Ma Gan returned from the mountain stream. He shook his head helplessly at the old scholar and said.

"It's not Erdou, it's his accomplice named Jiang!"

The old scholar frowned, "Have you searched all the hemp poles?"

"It's only a big place in total. We've been searching for so long, but there's no one else at all, but we found quite a few old bones!"

Could this Zhang Erdou really be able to fly? Zhang Xuebing frowned. He was worried that the lingering Zhang Erdou might pop out from somewhere and launch a surprise attack.

"We are thinking that Erdou might have been sucked into the cave along the mountain stream!"

Zhang Xuebing comforted himself secretly. Some of the mountains in this area are made of calcareous material. Under the impact of water flow, many karst caves and underground rivers will be formed. If they are sucked in, they may never come out in this life.

Such an ending can be regarded as an end to the feud between him and the village chief's family.

"Send a signal to the people above, let's spend the night here today and go tomorrow morning!"

There might be some venomous snakes and beasts in this deep mountain, Zhang Xuebing looked around and added.

"Prepare more dead branches and make three bonfires. We will rest in the bonfire circle. We will be divided into three teams to take turns on duty at night. Everyone must be extremely careful!"

Although no one wants to spend the night in this deep valley, rock climbing at night is definitely extremely dangerous.

Everyone had no objections to Zhang Xuebing's decision and immediately split up to make preparations.

Fortunately, there were dead trees and branches everywhere in the valley, so I quickly collected a few large piles of firewood, which was enough to burn for one night.

Zhang Xuebing and the old scholar chose a flat place, directed everyone to sprinkle some plant ash from the previous bonfire on the ground to repel insects, and then raised three bonfires from the outermost three directions.

Except for Zhang Xuebing, the old scholar and the little girl, the remaining ten people were divided into three groups and were on duty at night to prevent emergencies.

The bonfire was blazing, the mountain breeze was blowing, and the flames were blown by the night wind like fiery snakes twisting and waving.

The light of the fire extinguished, dispelling the darkness and illuminating everything around.

When we were in the village, since there was no entertainment, most people would have gone to bed at this time.

But today in this barren mountain and deep valley, everyone is in high spirits. Everyone is gathered in a circle, talking and laughing non-stop, listening to Zhang Xuebing telling those urban legends that he will see on the Internet in the future.

Even the old scholar was not sleepy and listened carefully with his ears bent.

Zhang Xuebing, who had survived the catastrophe, also became more energetic and specially selected those scary and shocking stories, which scared everyone so much that they gasped and screamed. The more they listened, the more addicted they became.

The little girl was close to Zhang Xuebing. Whenever he talked about something scary, she would hold his big hand tightly, as if this was the only way to not be afraid.

"Okay, Mr. Storyteller, you are still injured. You should rest early. We have to climb up tomorrow!" The old scholar couldn't bear that Zhang Xuebing was too tired, so he stopped the storytelling session.

Everyone had no choice but to disperse, and everyone went back to the arranged place to get dressed and lie down. The night watchman also carried a makeshift stick to keep watch.

The little girl and Zhang Xuebing were lying back to back on a clean stone. The story just now made her so nervous that she didn't want to sleep.

Quietly poking Zhang Xuebing with her finger, the little girl said as thin as a gnat, "Where did you see those things from? They are really scary. Hey, you said there can't really be ghosts in this world!"

Zhang Xuebing chuckled and slowly turned around to face her, "You are so timid. Where in the world did you come from? How about I hold you to sleep?"

The little girl was very willing in her heart, but she couldn't save her face, "No, there are so many people, it's too much to show off!"

How could Zhang Xuebing let go of such a good opportunity? He put his arms around Xiaoman's waist and said softly in her ear, "They can't see this way. Be good and put your head on my arm..."

The little girl let out a cry and leaned tightly into his arms, "Why don't you tell me another story?"

Just when Zhang Xuebing was about to speak, a villager on duty suddenly shouted, "Who!"
