Watching the car disappear into the distance, Liu Shiyan felt a sense of loss. Because his son was disobedient, he was always afraid that something would happen to his son, so he went to the work shed in the field to find the foreman Li Youjin, hoping that he would pick up the remains that he had thrown away earlier. The purpose of moving the burial to high mountains was to eliminate disasters for his son.
Because it was drizzling that day and the ground was wet, Li Youjin and his team stopped. If they were forced to start work, it would be muddy, which would not only consume manpower, but also easily damage the mechanical tools used in excavation, so they simply asked the workers to take a break.
Where can the workers live? Most of them gathered together in the rain-sheltered work shed to play cards.
Li Youjin was sitting at a large round table in a large work shed, playing cards with a few workers. He lost after just a few games, but because the cards were played small, he lost only a small amount of money. One of his lieutenants, Bugs, actually won.
Brother Bug is very good at being a good person. He thought to himself: Although Li Youjin didn't lose much money, he was prone to bad moods. As the foreman of Li Youjin, Bugs has a somewhat flattering or flattering attitude. He hopes that Li Youjin's mood will not get worse after losing a small amount of money, but in fact it is impossible, Bugs makes it possible for him.
He noticed that Li Youjin frowned slightly, so he took out an unopened box of cigarettes from his body and threw it to Li Youjin, saying, Boss Li, take it.
Li Youjin is tall and tall. Even when he is sitting, he is half a head taller than his fellow workers who are also sitting. I saw him reaching out to take the box of cigarettes that was thrown over, and scolded the tortoise with a smile, "You are quite rich!" People smoke cigarettes one by one on the ground, but you smoke a pack. Then I want it!
Li Youjin opened the cigarette he received, took out one and handed it to Bugs, then gave one to each of the workers present, and finally lit one himself and started puffing on it.
Brother Bug was also smoking. He told Li Youjin, "Boss Li, you have lost all these games. Take a cigarette to clear your head. Maybe you will win the next game!"
No matter whether you win or lose, just play small! I don't take it seriously. Just as Li Youjin said this, he heard someone outside the work shed calling him Boss Li. It was the voice of a relatively familiar old man. Looking back, it was Liu Yangsheng's father, Liu Shiyan.
How dare he neglect it? Because the contractor of the Liuzhuang bathhouse development project was Liu Yangsheng. Now that his father was here, he expected that something must be wrong. He didn't want to play cards anymore, so he told the workers who were sitting around the table waiting for him to play cards, "I No more fun, something happened.
So he left his seat and came to Liu Shiyan and said, "Dad Liu, what do you want from me?"
Liu Shiyan felt that it was inappropriate to tell the matter in public, so he asked Boss Li, could he find a secluded place to talk to you alone.
Li Youjin said yes, and with a wave of his hand, he motioned for Liu Shiyan to follow him into the inner room of the work shed, which was his private lounge. There was no one else here, so he closed the door curtain and heard Liu Shiyan whispering to him.
The temporary work sheds here are made of bamboo walls tied together into blocks and have no sound insulation at all. There are two black and thin scavengers outside, one tall and one short. They are picking up some debris that can be sold for money, such as beer bottles thrown away by co-workers fighting over drinking alcohol, and some empty cement bags thrown away at the construction site. Wait, whatever the scavengers pick up has an effect.
At this moment, a short scavenger was bending over to pick up a piece of scrap newspaper that was soaked by the drizzle outside a bamboo shed. Suddenly he heard someone talking inside. It was none of his business at first, but listening to the words The content was a bit strange, so I squatted there and listened carefully, holding my breath.
And I understand, the general situation is: Liu Yangsheng, general manager of Qianshan County Printing and Dyeing Company, has been in accidents recently. The cars he drove or took across the railway stalled. His father Liu Shiyan asked the foreman here if he knew? The foreman said he knew and the matter had been published in the newspapers.
When the short scavenger heard that it had been published in the newspaper, he instinctively or subconsciously pulled out the newspaper that he had just picked up from the ground and stuffed into the snakeskin bag. He saw that there was indeed a message in bold letters on the page - " A strange thing happened while driving and the car stalled on the track. General Manager Liu passed the railway three times and caused a disaster." The short scavenger didn't have the patience to read the text, so he stuffed the scrap newspaper into the snakeskin bag and continued to listen to the people in the bamboo shed.
Liu Shiyan said that his son has committed an evil act, and this matter has something to do with the person who contracted the project. The foreman replied, how can this remote thing have anything to do with us?
Liu Shiyan said the reason was that you workers were throwing the remains dug out from the graves everywhere. The owners of the remains were the Tang Dynasty military officers and his wives and concubines. Now the ghosts in the ghost world outside the military are causing trouble for my son, so that happened.
The foreman said that the remains were put into several sacks, but no one claimed them later. It would be unlucky to leave them on the construction site. We called your son for instructions and only lost them with your son's permission.
My son is also responsible for this matter, and I don't blame you. I just want to ask you, where were those remains thrown?
I don't know. I have to ask the guys I played cards with just now to find out who lost it.
Li Youjin, the reason why I came to you is to entrust you to retrieve the lost remains, bury them in the mountains, and burn incense and offer sacrifices to the Tang Dynasty warriors to make amends, so as to win the warriors' forgiveness and stop him from secretly going against my son. , to avoid causing some unforeseen disasters in the future. My son is now too timid to cross the railway in the city, whether by car or by car.
Daddy Liu, stop talking. You wait here. I'll ask the card players where they threw the sacks of bones. I'll just ask them to find them and give them to you.
Thank you then.
The short scavenger who was eavesdropping outside the work shed did not move away and wanted to hear the result. At this time, a tall scavenger came over and asked him what he was squatting here listening to. He did not answer, but only made a gesture to indicate to the tall scavenger not to speak.
The tall scavenger felt strange and stood here with him listening to the goings on in the work shed. Maybe Li Youjin came back to his lounge and heard him say, "Daddy Liu, this is troublesome. I just asked a few of the guys. Not long ago, they had packed the bags of dead people." The bones were thrown into the barren mountain north of Liuzhuang, but they were discovered. Although the barren mountain was barren, it had an owner. The head of the household in that barren mountain came to argue with them, so they moved to a location where it was not easy for others to find them.
Where did it move?
Daddy Liu, they threw those sacks of bones into the Qingshan Reservoir. It is very troublesome to fish out, the water is too deep, and now in autumn and winter, the water is cold, and I am afraid of danger. I suggest you talk to your son and ask him to pay for a diver to go and touch it.
That's really annoying. My son just doesn't want to pay attention to this matter. What did he say? How can a living person be afraid of a dead person? At worst, he won't drive through the railway in the city in the future.
Then there is nothing we can do. Daddy Liu, please find a way to solve it!
The two scavengers who overheard these details outside the work shed were excited. The shorter one whispered to the taller one that we both know how to swim. As long as Manager Liu of the printing and dyeing company is willing to pay, there will be a brave man who will be rewarded. We will sneak into the Qingshan Reservoir and pick up the sacks of bones.
The taller one nodded and said he wanted to give a price. He didn't know how many bags of bones there were. Each bag was worth a thousand yuan. It wouldn't be a penny less. We need to have a unified voice. The short man took it for granted that maybe Manager Liu would agree. Last time he drove on the railway and the car stalled and had a problem, he asked someone to lift the car. Didn't he cash the labor fee on the spot?
The taller one smiled slyly, and we immediately went to the entrance of the work shed, waited for Father Liu to come out, and then stopped him and talked to him about the price of touching the bones in Qingshan Reservoir. If he agreed, we wouldn't need to find his son.
You have a good idea. The short man mentioned the snakeskin bag that contained some waste products and said that if this business was completed, the benefits would be much greater than those of us picking up waste products throughout the winter.
At this time, Liu Shiyan walked out of the work shed, looking depressed. As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw two men, one tall and one short, standing at the Tianfan intersection in front of him. How could he tell that they were scavengers? Because each of them was carrying a snakeskin bag containing scraps.
Liu Shiyan was also careless and unexpectedly approached the Tianfan intersection, but the short man waved and greeted him, "Uncle Liu, I see you are worried, you seem to have something unpleasant to do!"
where? Liu Shiyan pretended to smile, but looked at the scavenger with disdain.
When he saw Liu Shiyan, he was about to walk in front of him. He was tall and couldn't stop him, so he put down the snakeskin bag he was carrying, and then said, "Uncle Liu, I guess you are unhappy because of your son's affairs, right?"
What did you say? Liu Shiyan caught his attention, and because he was right, he stopped and asked.
The taller one did not repeat what he had just said, but spoke in circles, Uncle Liu, you should thank both of us.
Liu Shiyan grinned and asked directly, why should I thank you two? Looking at the high emphasis, you haven't answered the question I just asked.
I don’t have to answer, it will be clear to you if I tell you. The taller one said, last time, your son Liu Yangsheng drove a BMW to the railway in the city and it stalled and couldn't start. The taller one pointed to the shorter one and said, "He and I were picking up rags by the railway. When we found out about this, we took the initiative to help your son carry the car."
At that time, your son was anxious and couldn't call anyone, so the two of us worked together and helped call a few people to come. With more people and more strength, we were able to lift the BMW off the track. As soon as we turned around, we saw a train roaring past the railway track. But it was dangerous. It was only a few seconds too late, and something big would happen.
Although the taller ones told this situation with a bit of embarrassment in order to highlight themselves, for example, they did not help call people at all, but just participated, Liu Shiyan still believed it completely. At this moment, he said with great gratitude, thank you both very much. Come with me to your door. I will give you some empty bottles at home.
The shorter one said, it doesn't matter to us whether you send empty bottles or not. We are still concerned about your son and have always suspected that if your son did something like that, did he offend the ghosts and gods? If we can help, we will.
These words came to Liu Shiyan's heart, and he immediately said seriously that he had offended ghosts and gods. You can't help me with this.
What do you need help with? Maybe the two of us can help. said the taller one.
Then I will tell you two directly. My son contracted Boss Li to develop this farmland to build a bathhouse. When digging the pit, he dug out the remains of the Tang Dynasty soldier Wai and his wives and concubines from the grave, put them in several sacks, and threw them into the pit dozens of meters deep. Qingshan Reservoir, it is approaching winter now, the weather is cold and the water is deep. Are you willing to go under the reservoir and pick up those bags of remains?
