Chapter 412 The man at the top of the food chain
London, England.
Some residential building in Corina neighborhood.
This is not a wealthy area, it is just an ordinary middle-class community.
"Sarah, don't worry, I will definitely let you live a good life, this is my promise."
At home, Bell Griers, who is only 26 years old, made a lovely commitment to his newlywed wife.
"I believe in you!" Sarah trusted her husband very much.
However, the young Bell flashed with a faint condolence in his firm eyes.
Family!
He had just gotten married and had already deeply felt the pressure from his family.
"But what I love the most is not a plain life, but a thrilling adventure career~ challenge myself again and again!"
Bell imagined in his heart.
From 1994 to 1997, he served in the 21st Airborne Special Service Regiment of the United Kingdom, and became a vanguard through the British special forces selection. He was good at fighting with bare hands, fighting in deserts and cold areas. He had many advantages that ordinary people could not achieve in survival skills, medical care, parachuting, signal avoidance, climbing and explosions.
In 1997, he was injured and retired;
In 1998, at the age of 24, he successfully climbed Mount Everest and reached the top, becoming the youngest man in the world to reach the top of Mount Everest.
In 2006, he collaborated with the American Discovery Channel to film the "Survival in the Wild".
Bell carries thin equipment and goes deep into the most off-the-spot regions in the world. He demonstrates how to survive. He has been to: Costa Rican Jungle, Utah Desert, Pacific Islands, Sierra Nevada, Alps...
All the bugs;
All plants;
Snakes, insects, rats, ants, etc. are all his prey.
“Crispy, chicken flavor!”
"Its fat energy is 3 to 6 times that of beef!"
As long as it is something that can be seen, even animals carrying the deadly toxins can only become their food, especially when he bites the bug with his mouth and bursts out a bit of green slurry, which makes many people frightened, and is therefore called "Bai Ye" and "the man at the top of the food chain" by many people.
In a word, he is a man who is unwilling to be bound by a simple life. He likes to take risks and challenges!
but......
Sometimes he has to face the cruel reality!
Survival requires money.
"Life has never been smooth sailing!" - Pushkin (Russia).
So far, Bell has no fixed job. The ability to make a living is to spend his adventures, such as the experience of climbing Mount Everest, publishing books, and selling them.
"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"
"Mr. Bell Griers, I am the landlord Mrs. Bellon!"
The sound from outside the house immediately made Bell and Sarah and his wife inside the house feel tight.
"Bell, we have been owed two months of rent, and she must have come to ask for money." Sarah said worriedly.
"Don't worry, I'm in everything." Bell spoke out to comfort him.
Real men dare to face all suffering, but... sometimes you have to learn to bow to reality!
Contradictory?
But, this is reality!
After Mrs. Bellon came in, she sighed, "Bell, Sarah, I know you don't have a lot of money, and you just got married, but you also have to know that my family also needs to have a meal. You haven't paid your rent in the past two months. Have I urged me? I really can't do anything about it when I come today."
It can be said that the landlord’s wife’s attitude is really good.
If you encounter a landlord with a bad attitude and a very poor personality, let alone owing two months of rent, even if you delay a few days, they will chatter and even bomb you away very rudely, and your things will be thrown out all at once.
"Mrs. Bellon, you know, my book will be completed soon, and as long as it is published, I will make money. Then... well, Sarah and I will move out as soon as possible. Well, please give us three days, and at the same time, I will definitely pay back the money I owe you, soon!" Bell gritted his teeth.
A penny stumped the hero.
"Oh~"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Bellon sighed, "I don't want to urge you either, but this is the reality. I know you are not affordable for the time being, and you don't have to rush to pay me back the rent. Well, as long as you remember to pay it back."
"Thank you! Thank you very much!"
Bell has only thanks at this moment.
Mrs. Bellon's house cannot be rented to him, he cannot resent, after all, others also need to survive.
.........
The next day.
Bell's wife Sarah left the house early and headed to the nearest house center to find new and cheap housing as soon as possible.
They really don't have much money!
At the same time, although the Bells and his wife had no money, they did not want to continue to owe Mrs. Bellon's rent. Therefore, while his wife Sarah was looking for a new house today, she also shouldered a mission, which was to sell her necklace that she had just gotten married.
In the words of his wife Sarah, "Mrs. Bellon takes good care of us. She continues to use money. We cannot continue to owe her 2 months' rent, even if we are going to move out of her house."
Bell was very pleased with Sarah's generosity, but at the same time he was quite resentful of himself.
A man who cannot support his family is still a man?!
"adventure?"
"Shit!"
"I like adventure, challenges, I like to cross the scorching desert, hike on glaciers that are rarely visited for millions of years, enjoy parachuting, and prefer to drive a kayaking across the ocean..."
"But, what does all this mean?"
"It can't help me support my family!"
Obviously, the burden of life and the pressure of family make Bell, a heart that likes adventure and jumps in his bones, has completely lost the idea of silence.
Ding Ding Ding ~
At this moment, the phone in the room rang.
——Mozha Bach.
He is an editor at the University Press in London.
"Bell, I have to tell you a message that the book "Facing" written by your experience of climbing Mount Everest was rejected by the editor." Editor Mozha Bach said in a deep voice.
boom!
This news is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for Bell, who has fallen into a trough in his life, and it will make things worse.
"Mr. Bach, can you tell me what editor-in-chief White is dissatisfied with "Facing"? Tell me, I will modify it immediately!" Bell spoke anxiously, he could not give up this opportunity.
Silence ~
After a long time, editor Moza Bach said: "Bell, to be honest, I like the book "Facing" very much, and I like the adventures you describe in the book, especially your undisdained spirit, which made me excited again and again, but... you know, editor-in-chief White is not optimistic about it."
After saying that, editor Moza Bach, regardless of Bale's attitude, immediately hung up the phone.
5 times!
This is the fifth time that Bell has rejected!
The book "Facing" or his autobiography of the summit of Mount Everest, he had already completed it in March 2000. He submitted it to major publishing houses five times, and the number of times he revised the content was as many as twenty times.
Exhausted...
Soon after, Zucker arrived in London from America.
The first update of "" is given.
