What the second uncle said makes sense. Whether it's Feng Shui or strange magic, most of the things that harm people are man-made.
Someone will benefit, and someone will naturally lose.
Somehow, this seems to be a misplaced balance.
After thinking about this, I suddenly felt at ease.
As for the people of Lubanmen, I am on guard now, so I will block them with soldiers and cover them with water and soil.
In the future, you will eat when it is time to eat and make money when it is time to make money.
I found the cat bag, grabbed Huang Jiu from the tea table, stuffed it in, and followed my second uncle out.
He said it was an accident at the construction site. I thought a coffin or something had been dug up in the car, but when I went to the construction site to find out more about it, it turned out that the incident was beyond my and my second uncle's expectations.
The construction site is a foundation pit construction in a residential area. The area is not small and it is a large project.
In order to meet the construction deadline, we have always worked 24-hour shifts.
Everything was normal, but there was a safety accident the night before yesterday. A worker fell into the foundation pit and died.
Accidents on construction sites are basically settled privately, so that workers’ families can get more compensation and the construction company can avoid investigations that delay the construction schedule.
So the workers' bodies were parked in the work shed, waiting for their families to claim them.
But just last night, the worker's body was eaten by some kind of animal. A hole was opened in the skull and the brain was sucked out.
The chest was also opened and the liver was gone.
If it's just like this, it will just cost the builder some extra money.
But early this morning, when the workers were pumping out water from the foundation pit, they saw a three-year-old child with a red body and a strange face stepping out of the water, grinning at the workers, looking very scary.
After scaring the workers, the strange little boy dived back into the water.
When word spread, the workers said it was a monster that ate the brains and livers of corpses. After this, no one ran away.
Chen Kai, the safety director at the construction site, was still frightened when he talked about this incident.
After speaking, he looked at his second uncle and said, "Mr. Zhang said that as long as this matter is resolved, money is not an issue."
At the end of the day, Chen Kai also hinted to his second uncle that it didn't matter whether the matter could be solved or not. What was important was to convince the workers that everything was fine and they were willing to come back and start work.
My second uncle and I both understand what he is thinking, but I feel that if this matter is fooled, someone may die.
Because according to Chen Kai's description, the red three-year-old child looked very much like a monster elephant recorded in "The Rites of Zhou".
It is a water beast that likes to eat the brains and livers of dead people.
It is precisely because of the existence of the elephants that various tomb-suppressing beasts were placed in ancient tombs to drive away the elephants.
"Zhou Rites" records the demon elephant, and also records its nemesis, the mythical beast Fang Xiangshi.
Legend has it that Fang Xiangshi had four golden eyes, wore red clothes and black trousers, rode a horse and held a spear, and went to the tomb to strike the four corners with the spear to drive away the monsters and elephants.
Therefore, most of the tomb-suppressing beasts in ancient tombs are modeled after Fang Xiangshi.
However, even if these legendary monsters and mythical beasts really appeared in ancient times, they are now extinct.
Otherwise, if we encountered a real elephant, the hundreds of people on this construction site would have disappeared long ago.
Chen Kai took us to the door of the work shed and asked my second uncle and I if we wanted to go see the workers who had seen the accident.
I didn't wait for the second uncle to speak, and said first, "I won't look at the body anymore. Please take us to the foundation pit to have a look."
My hair stood on end listening to his description, and I dared not look at it.
Besides, I'm not a forensic doctor.
Work has been stopped on the construction site. All kinds of machinery and equipment are parked scatteredly in the pitted site. The half-filled steel cage is like a giant steel beast.
It can be seen that after the little boy appeared, the worker ran away without having time to clean up.
Approaching the foundation pit, Chen Kai was a little scared and said in embarrassment that he would not go over and let my second uncle and I go see it ourselves.
I looked up at the sky and saw that the sun was shining brightly, so my uncle and I walked towards the foundation pit where the accident happened.
The diameter of the foundation pit is about two meters, and the water inside has reached the entrance of the hole. There are also three water pumps placed next to it.
It's just that the water inside is so turbid, it's not an exaggeration to call it mud, and nothing can be seen with the naked eye.
The second uncle knocked on the cat bag and asked Huang Jiudao: "Huang Xian, do you feel the breath of beasts?"
My second uncle and I came from the same school. He should have guessed everything I could think of.
Huang Jiu seemed to have just woken up, yawning and said: "No, if there was the smell of beasts, Master Jiu, I would have come out to take care of it!"
It is not afraid to speak loudly and flash its tongue.
I opened my spiritual eyes and looked towards the foundation pit.
However, the groundwater contained too much yin and was turbid and viscous. My spiritual eyes had not yet been fully trained and I could not see anything.
I told my second uncle about the situation, and he said: "It will be noon soon, and the Yang Qi will weaken. Let's go eat first. After eating, let Chen Kai call someone to drain the water."
I ate the breakfast brought by Su Yimei in the morning, and I wasn't very hungry at the moment.
However, if I don’t eat during the meal, I feel a little sorry for the boss.
Moreover, at noon the yang energy peaks and wanes, which is also the time when the yin energy is the heaviest in the day. No matter what is in the puddle, we'd better stay away.
Back in the work shed area, the second uncle briefly explained the situation to Chen Kai and mentioned the elephant.
I thought I needed some explanation, but it turned out that Chen Kai was a college student and knew about this stuff.
But his round face became even more ugly after hearing this, and he asked his second uncle: "Master Li, do you think this matter can be solved in one day? The engineering department is pressing too hard, and so much equipment has to be stopped for one day. The loss is not small.”
The second uncle didn't give a reply, but just said: "It's getting late, let's go have a meal first. After dinner, you can ask someone to drain the water from the foundation pit, and then we can talk about it later."
When Chen Kai heard this, he felt that we could not determine the time, so he did not hide it and said directly to his second uncle: "Master Li, if you don't do this, I will call all the workers back, and then you can fool them and dissuade them." How about letting them start work first if I have concerns in my heart?”
Based on my understanding of my second uncle, I'm afraid he will agree.
However, the second uncle suddenly increased his tone, looked at Chen Kai and asked: "Is this Mr. Zhang's intention, or your own?"
Chen Kai hesitated immediately.
No matter whether the workers live or die, they only think about the construction period...
I'm a little speechless.
But there are many people like Chen Kai in the world. He can make others run for their lives and break their legs just by opening his mouth.
And what I don’t understand is that this kind of person gets promoted very quickly.
When the second uncle saw that Chen Kai was silent, he added: "I was entrusted by Mr. Zhang to clarify the matter and solve it completely. And if you know the elephant, you should understand that if this thing is not handled properly, I'm afraid he will die. more people."
Chen Kai smiled apologetically and said, "Master Li said yes, let's go eat first."
I could see that what Chen Kai was afraid of was not that someone would die in another accident at the construction site, but that his second uncle, who was familiar with Mr. Zhang, would file a lawsuit against him.
