[Tomb Raider] Escape

Nangong Gousheng was born during the ten-year catastrophe. In 1976, a generation of leader Mao Zedong passed away, and the ten-year catastrophe finally came to an end.The beginning or end of a turbulent situation is often accompanied by political exchanges and purges. After the Gang of Four was arrested, three-year-old Nangong Gousheng was handed over by his parents to a trusted nanny, who took him back to his hometown in Anhui.

Of course, Nangong Gousheng is not named Nangong. The name Gousheng was given by the nanny—that is, his adoptive mother.The adoptive mother said that it is easy to take a cheap name to support him, so the name Gousheng has been with him for the rest of his life.

The nanny later married a man with the surname Li, so Nangong Gousheng also took the surname Li in the household registration booklet.As for what his original surname should be, he doesn't know, and with the death of his adoptive parents, no one in this world will know.As for the surname Nangong, it was nothing more than one day when he looked through hundreds of surnames and felt that this surname should be worthy of a hero, so he borrowed it casually.

Nangong Gousheng only knew a thing or two about his own life experience. He knew that his parents were forced to ask someone to take him away from the storm on the eve of the storm because of their wrong political stance. He retrieved it, but it was a pity that there was nothing left after the wind and clouds.As for who his biological parents are, he doesn't know; he doesn't know whether his biological parents are still alive; he doesn't even know who he is related to in this world.The sporadic bits and pieces he knew came from overhearing the conversations of his adoptive parents when he was a child.

At that time, Nangong Gousheng was still ignorant. When a child found out that he was a person with a secret, he was shocked at first, and then he was proud of it. He showed off to many boys of the same age in the village.But when he got older, he began to keep secret about these things—many people lost their parents during the ten-year catastrophe. Others' parents were persecuted to death, and his parents may have been persecuted to death.

Nangong Gouzang's adoptive mother died when he was seven years old.His adoptive father soon remarried, but he didn't drive him out when he was only seven years old, but raised him as a dispensable one.Nangong Gousheng didn't blame him at all, not only did his adoptive father not have any blood relationship with him, he didn't even have any relationship at all, and his relationship was not close.

Nangong Gousheng grew up eating Baijiafan in the countryside until he was 12 years old. He happened to finish the elementary school in the village, and his adoptive father also died of illness.

Nangong Gousheng didn't want to stay in this village anymore, so he went out to work with some older young people in the village.Among the group of young people was a man surnamed Yu who took care of Nangong Gousheng a lot because he thought Nangong Gousheng was young.

When this group of young people arrived in Shenzhen, the first job they found was to resell pirated discs.This is actually a very profitable job, and there are not a few people who do it well and make a fortune.However, these young people had no connections, no background, and no experience. They were arrested by the police only five days after they arrived in Shenzhen.Xiao Yu's legs were fast, he didn't let the police catch his tail, and hurriedly jumped on a train with Nangong Gousheng and ran away.

This train was going to Shanxi, so the second job Xiao Yu and Nangong Gousheng found was digging coal in a certain kiln.

In that time and place, the wages for coal mining were not considered low - when the coal bosses did not default on the wages, or even denied the wages - so many workers knew that this was dangerous, and even their fathers and brothers were working in the coal mines. He lost his life in the mine, but the coal mine boss still has no worries about finding workers.And to enter the coal mine, you need to sign a contract of sale with the black-hearted boss. You have to work for the boss for at least three years, and your valuable possessions are mortgaged.

In 1988, Nangong Gousheng was already 16 years old.Xiao Yu had married a rural girl in the local area the year before, and even gave birth to a son.

The winter of this year was extremely cold, and the coal diggers were owed a whole year's wages, and it was difficult to even feed their stomachs, so naturally there was no money for additional clothes.

This morning, Xiao Yu and Nangong Gousheng had finished the pao rice they had cooked overnight, and they were about to go to the kiln again.

Xiao Yu asked his wife to take out a padded coat made from old clothes, and handed it to Nangong Gousheng: "Here, put it on, and see how cold you are."

Nangong Gousheng looked at the cotton-padded clothes in a daze, and just as he raised his hand, his gaze was drawn to Xiao Yu's white washed old shirt, and he put down his half-raised hand.

Without saying a word, Xiao Yu draped his clothes on him, and walked towards the coal mine with his arms around his shoulders: "After another three months of work, we will have worked for three years. When we are done, we will leave! I will take you, Take my wife and son, and call a few more brothers, and let’s go to Shanghai together! If the man surnamed Wang doesn’t give us money, I’ll take gasoline to block his door, I don’t believe I can’t beat him!”

Nangong Gousheng is thinner and smaller than Xiao Yu, the clothes fit him just right, if they were given back to Xiao Yu, they would definitely not be able to fit them.He was also very cold, so he fastened the buttons halfway, raised his face and said with a smile, "Brother Yu, have you decided on your son's name?"

Xiao Yu breathed into the palm of his hand and rubbed it vigorously: "No, Xiao She's wife also gave birth to a baby two days ago. Let's discuss it and come up with the right name."

Nangong Gousheng grinned: "One is called Yu Yu, and the other is called She She."

Xiao Yu's generous palms messed up Gou Sheng's already messy hair, and held his shoulders tighter: "Okay! Let's discuss it with Xiao She!"

Several young workers got out of the coal mine. Although the mine was dark and damp, it was much warmer than outside.When the workers started to work, the heat from their bodies evaporated, and the temperature of the entire coal kiln became much higher, and the cold air that was cutting the bones dissipated.

Nangong Gousheng is quite talented in some aspects. In the past three years, he has been familiar with the work of where to install underground supports to prevent collapse.Not long after he went down to work in the kiln well, he found that one of the pillars was bent badly, and suddenly felt restless, as if the kiln well was about to collapse.He touched Xiao Yu's side, pulled Xiao Yu's arm timidly, and whispered in his ear: "Brother Yu, I feel something is wrong..."

After hearing what he said, Xiao Yu's face gradually became serious.A few months ago a nearby black brick kiln collapsed, burying a dozen people alive.This place is small, the government and businessmen are in collusion, and there is no one to take care of it. Up to now, the miner's body has not been found, and the workers here are already in panic.But if you don't work, you won't have food, so they all bite the bullet and come down.

Xiao Yu said in a low voice: "Don't be suspicious, let others hear it, and if you make a fuss in a while, you won't be able to finish today's work."

Nangong Gousheng was still worried, and checked the support again, and found that three fulcrums were obviously shifted—however, such things are not uncommon, as long as the pit does not collapse, the coal boss will not call for a stoppage.

He told Xiaoyu, but Xiaoyu had a fluke mentality. After all, he worked for three years. Although he saw a lot of people have accidents, after all, it didn't happen to him, so he wasn't too scared.He said to Nangong Gousheng: "Let's work hard today, hurry up and leave quickly." In fact, they all knew that even if they asked Lao Wang to tell him, Lao Wang would not let them leave—for the unscrupulous coal boss What is more important than money?

Nangong Gousheng crawled out with a basket of coal on his back, suddenly felt the cellar vibrate, and all the stones fell straight down, one of them hit his head.

Nangong Gousheng was still in a daze and couldn't come to his senses. A group of workers rushed out shouting, "Run! It's about to collapse!"

The workers frantically pouring out squeezed the narrow passage, and the thin people in front were pushed to the ground.However, no one helped him, and the out-of-control crowd even stepped on him.

Nangong Gousheng was not yet fully developed, so his small stature naturally couldn't squeeze an adult. Someone tripped over his foot and fell to the ground unsteadily.

Xiao Yu quickly grabbed him, pulled him to his chest, and pushed him forward: "Run! Run!"

More and more stones fell from the top of his head. Fortunately, he was not far from the entrance of the cellar, and Xiao Yu pushed him for a few steps. Seeing that the light was already in front of him——

"boom!"

One second before the world fell into darkness, Xiao Yu used all his strength to push Nangong Gousheng outward. The sudden burst of strength made Nangong Gousheng inexplicably penetrate the wall and almost rushed to the mouth of the cellar.At that moment, Nangong Gousheng saw Xiao Yu's twisted and ferocious face, and heard his heart-piercing roar: "Run!!!"

In just a moment, the world is turned upside down.

Later, Nangong Gousheng was dug out from the shallow mound.Miraculously, after being buried in the soil for several hours, he did not suffocate or even suffer serious injuries. The first second he opened his eyes, he threw himself back onto the buried cellar well and frantically dug up the soil with his hands.

He yelled Xiao Yu's name with all his might, and yelled the names of many people, until his hands were drenched with blood, but he didn't get a single response.

A few hours ago, there were a bunch of living people behind him, but now they are all corpses.

Xiao Yu died, Xiao She died, and many people who got along day and night died.

Xiaoyu and Xiaoshe's wives were unable to raise their children. Nangong Gousheng found Lao Wang with a bottle of gasoline, and finally got a lot of compensation and wages owed for the past three years.He took Xiaoyu and Xiaoshe's wife and two young children to Shanghai. He built a house, worked as a chef, rode a three-wheeler, and sold groceries. He insisted on raising two women and two children for three years.

Three years later, Xiao She's wife left her son and ran away with a big boss, leaving a large sum of compensation to Nangong Gousheng before leaving.

One night, Nangong Gousheng got drunk and climbed onto Xiaoyu's wife's bed.

Since then, they no longer sleep in separate beds.

Until this time, Nangong Gousheng was only 19 years old.Men at this time are young, energetic, and full of energy, and their self-control is almost weak, but their conscience and loyalty are astonishing.

Another year later, the poor woman asked him if he would marry him. Nangong Gousheng took Xiao Yu's photo and posted it all night, and finally rejected the woman who was ten years older than her.

The woman put the knife on her neck and asked him hoarsely.Nangong Gousheng knelt in front of her and confessed his mistake in tears.Later, the woman put down the knife and asked miserably: "Since it is already wrong, why is it right to the end?"

Nangong Gousheng was speechless.

The next day, Nangong Gousheng bought a copper ring with the wages he had just received and came back to propose to the woman, but found that she had left.

This time, I have never seen each other again in my life.
